The small linux problem thread

I just did not expect that it would be invisible to Nginx.

Is this for a single-page app?

Because the /#/register is by design.

It is for riot-web, but I am using a custom registration page.

aaaahhhhh, gotcha.

For anyone interested, Manjaro uses the Matcha theme and this is how you go about getting it:

https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/install-the-matcha-theme-on-linux/

Install the prerequisites
sudo dnf install gtk-murrine-engine gtk2-engines git

get the theme
git clone https://github.com/vinceliuice/matcha.git

run the install script
./install.sh

Hi,

I created a separate thread (SELinux AVC denials for x2t and ldd when creating ONLYOFFICE documents, Nextcloud, ONLYOFFICE, LAMP stack, Please Help) in connection with the SELinux question. I also asked Nextcloud for help (https://help.nextcloud.com/t/selinux-avc-denials-for-x2t-and-ldd-when-creating-onlyoffice-documents-nextcloud-onlyoffice-lamp-stack-please-help/77108) and I asked Red Hat but I just can’t get this anywhere.

Can anyone give me some suggestions?

@nx2l I disabled Ipv6 on my router and now it’s working.

I laughed. I cried.

Ah
The superior protocol

I was having issues getting to sites the other day because of this. I can’t believe it didn’t click. Just seemed really unrelated.

IPv6 really is the better protocol.

Held back by programmers and network administrators who seem to go out of their way to screw it up, even when supporting it is easier than not.

So i enabled the ACO flag on Mesa with:

RADV_PERFTEST=aco

The difference on proton games enormous! Shader caching no longer makes the game stutter unplayable for a while and CPU load no longer spikes, allot smoother!

Wish I have tried this sooner.

Not really a “problem” per se, more of a question but…

Whenever a new version of Fedora (KDE) comes out, I seem to miss it and don’t upgrade for a long time. There seems to be no notification of any kind in Fedora for new release versions (there is for package updates of course, just not for release versions). Am I missing a setting somewhere?

I also tried finding an RSS/Atom feed on the fedora blog or something, but they don’t have any by category, and I don’t really care for any of the other blog entries so… ideas?

There is an RSS feed on the Distrowatch Fedora page:

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora

They list news and release announcements below reviews on that page. Assuming that the official spins come out in close proximity to the flagship version, it should be fairly easy to keep up. They also usually give an estimated release schedule that, while it commonly can be pushed back a few weeks, is listed on Distrowatch Weekly:

https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20200406#upcoming

This way you can get a rough idea when a new release is coming months in advance.

Thanks for this, it just feels odd there doesn’t seem to be an “official” channel (except for the blog but…)

The info on the second link comes from the different distro’s listed. If you follow the links and go through there you can find out a lot of info. The rabbit hole leads to:

https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/

From there you can click on different past and future releases, which has a link for ‘spins’ across the top. It lists expected release dates up to Fedora 36 on April 19, 2022. I don’t know exactly how they get their info (mailing lists I’d presume), but from what I’ve seen following Distrowatch it tends to be accurate aside from last minute postponements. Phoronix is another place that will usually share news and benchmarks surrounding the release of larger distro’s.

Is there any safe way to reduce the size of my windows partition and give it to ubuntu?

Yes, it can be done (I don’t know how), but most persons install their Linux distro of choice either on a separate physical disk or a virtual machine. The danger of installing a Linux distro and Windows on the same physical drive Windows could overwrite your Linux distro.

It is Best and safest to dedicate a separate disk for GNU/Linux. MS Windows can overwrite the MBR or clobber the Linux partition of the disk since it is “unknown”.

It can be done, but it’s not risk-free.

So for a start you can do this in Windows even. You can go into Disk management and resize the partition there. You will eventually hit a limit though on how far you can shrink it. The reason is that there is a few hidden files in sectors right in the middle of the partition (stems from a time where we all had regular HDDs, putting those hidden files in the middle of the disk was the fastest to access), that cannot be moved (because they are being accessed by Windows on boot and only freed on shutdown).

So if the partition is still too big for you, you will have to use third-party tools that can access the filesystem without booting windows. Something like GParted works well (used it before). It will move the sectors before shrinking the partition. Depending on partition size this can take a few hours because it moves each sector individually. Just make a backup before you do, because there is no guarantee this will work when fiddling around in the filesystem (it usually works, but you never know).

Other then that, a separate drive is the best approach anyway because of the whole bootmanager thing.

Fedora 31: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached

Is there a solution for this error? Does impact the system in any way? I have read on Github that the issue resolved itself after removing tpm2-abrmd. Should I remove it or just wait to be resolved in future updates? Tnx.
