how to install zoom client.
by home user
Good morning,
(f-29)
(background)
Last week, I was to participate in a "Zoom" meeting for a charity that
I'm involved in. I have the needed software on my rarely-used windows-7
box. But I could not complete the windows-7 login (some problem with a
windows-7 service). I've since found there is a "Zoom" client for
Fedora. "dnfdragora" does not find anything for it. But I found a web
page that I hope has what I need. I've downloaded the package
("zoom_x86_64.rpm"), and I've downloaded a "Public Key"
("package-signing-key.pub"). The web site from which I've downloaded
these also has a line:
Key fingerprint: [some 40 hex digit number]
(4 questions)
1. Do the 2 files need to be in a specific place to do the install? If
yes, where?
2. Do I need to be "root" to do the install?
3. What do I do with the "Key fingerprint"?
4. How do I do the install (preferably using "dnf")?
thanks,
Bill.

What do you open .mobi files with??
by Beartooth
Something on sourceforge has been recommended to me, but I try to
stick to things that dnf can install. Surely there must be some Fedora-
native ebook reader!

Using Steam with Fedora
by Patrick O'Callaghan
For several years I've been using a Windows VM with passthrough
graphics as a gaming platform. It works pretty well, but ties up
machine resources even when idle, so I'm now experimenting with Valve's
Linux version of Steam with the Proton additions to the Wine libraries.
I've disabled the VM, installed the latest proprietary Nvidia drivers,
modified grub appropriately and rebooted. The Nvidia modules are
loaded. The nvidia-settings command shows the GPU.
However when I run games under Steam, they are using the internal Intel
GPU, making this configuration essentially unusable for AAA gaming
(i.e. games will start but are unplayably slow). I can find no
documentation on how to change this (whether via a global Steam option
or even individually for each game).
For the record, Linux Steam is a 32-bit executable, but I don't think
this should affect anything (my machine is 64-bit).
Has anyone done this successfully on Fedora? There are any number of
Google hits on similar themes, but mainly focussed on Ubuntu, which is
what Valve are mostly aiming at.

open double quote on top of next character
by home user
(background/environment)
f30; Gnome
The problem is seen in the Gnome terminal editor, but not in gvim,
Firefox, or Thunderbird.
The terminal's font is set to the system font (vs. custom font).
The system font is set to "AR PL UKai CN Book 16". This is set via the
"Tweaks" tool. I really do need to use the UKai font.
(what I do)
When I view a Chinese music video in youtube, I also make notes about it
in a text file. I use vi(m) to edit that file.
1. In Firefox, I load a youtube video whose title and/or description
(poster's comments) contains Chinese text. This text is found below the
video itself, and above the section for comments by viewers.
2. Using the trackball (cursor), I select the text containing Chinese
characters.
3. I paste the selected text into the left part of google translate.
- Below the Chinese text that I pasted in, google translate displays
"pinyin" (the "romanization" of the Chinese text). This is useful for
pronunciation.
- In the right part of google translate, google translate shows its
English translate guess.
4. Using the trackball (cursor), I select the pinyin, and paste it into
my text file of notes about the video.
5. Using the trackball (cursor), I select the English translation guess,
and paste it into my text file of notes about the video.
(what I see)
When the Chinese text contains the Chinese equivalent of the open double
quote (it looks like a double version of the less-than character '<'),
then in my notes file, in the pinyin and English, it shows as an open
double quote with the next English character in the same position (that
is, on top of each other). There is no problem with close double
quotes. I have not seen this problem with any other character. I've
attached an example text file, and a screen capture of that text file in
vi(m). Notice in the screen capture:
- in the second non-blank line, after "13", an open double quote and the
letter 'Y' appear to be in the same position.
- in the third non-blank line, after "13 ", an open double quote and the
letter 'I' appear to be in the same position.
This problem occurs a lot, and it does make editing difficult.
(the question)
My sense is that this is not something that I can fix on my
workstation. So I should submit a bug. Where should I submit the bug,
and against what (the font or the terminal or something else (what?))?

F30: dnf, yum, mock
by John Pilkington
Fedora 30 had several dnf-related updates today. Since then, mock fails
with KeyError: 'yum.conf'
In the mockbuild directory, /var/lib/mock/Fedora.../root/etc/yum.conf is
a link to yum/yum.conf, which is a 0 byte file.
In the corresponding file for epel-7 builds, last used before the
updates, yum/yum.conf is 3.2 kB
In the F30 host /etc/yum.conf is now 816 bytes
Perhaps I should try to revert.

/tmp full and konsole not releasing the space
by Walter Cazzola
Dear all,
I've a quite "noisy" problem on my freshly installed Fedora 31 laptop. My 5Gb
/tmp partition get full in around 10 hours of up time.
No way to free it apart reboot.
At the time of writing I've the /tmp partition full but I've already run a rm
-fr /tmp/* from root.
These are some diagnostic data I can find:

It seems that konsole keeps blocked around 5Gb of space in a deleted file.
How can I force konsole to realease it?
As far as I remember, konsole was creating a huge cache file in Fedora 23 too
but that wasn't a problem because the cache at that time was stored in
.local/cache where I have plenty of space but now it is in /tmp. Alternatevely
how can I force konsole to low the amount of cache it stores?
Thank you
