The small linux problem thread

Saying that, I should support paid Linux software, it is good for the ecosystem in general

Yeah, definitely.

If I had used it, I’d be paying for it now.

I just don’t use Ubuntu.

I think it’s important to support devs who need the support, and if $12 one-time fee is too much, you can build a kernel yourself.

Anyone have a solution for this besides setting install-only to zero and manually pruning kernels?

Going to try this:

echo "kernel*$(uname -r) > "/etc/dnf/protected.d/kernel-$(uname -r).conf"

A post was merged into an existing topic: CentOS 8 Week 1 (WIP)

Best FPS counter? Looking to use it with Lutris and Wine

dnf update --exclude=kernel*

I want it to update the kernel though, I just want to mark some specific kernels from being pruned.

Anyone got some good reference material for building your own Certificate Authority. I setup a gitlab instance and it’s all local to my lan and wanting to get https commits going.

I find the one provided in the openvpn docs is alright.

That is a much better way than the other documentation I have been reading. Appreciate it.

When a config file is numbered as below, is that just a loose way to control the order in which it’s loaded, or do the numbers correspond to something specific?

A bit late, maby Etcher will work.

I’ve also had great success with FedoraMediaWriter and it’s all I use now, though ironically I’m not sure if it’s easily available for other linux distributions. This may work: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.fedoraproject.MediaWriter

From my understanding (loose) is that the numbers tie the configuration file to a category so that you can group like things together. Or that is how it was explain by the docs when Debian went to that style in 2010

Didn’t want to start a new thread for this… Anyone tried fractional scaling with Gnome 3.34? Are the fonts still blurry when using Firefox or Chrome?

Reinstalling tomorrow due to a system upgrade and wondering whether i should bother with Gnome or go straight to Plasma again.

Anyone got any experience with eGPU and Linux operating systems?

I can only get the setup working under Ubuntu. Fedora kinda works until I install Nvidia drivers (tried 390 to 430), then it’s no go.

Curious to know what I’m doing wrong or what I could be doing different.

Are you only using nvidia or have you tried it with AMD? it should be possible with DRI prime, but i dont think that nvidia works with that

That’s a good idea, I’ll try my 580. Just been using the 1080.

Mother of God, someone recommends AMD over Nvidia and it actually makes sense. World == :fire:
