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! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

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. poc

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. John P

/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.

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 Walter --

Can I freeze Java

by ToddAndMargo

Hi All, Fedora 30, A customer with one of those $$$$ custom programs is getting a pop up https://ibb.co/gZ6TZsb telling him he is going to have to start paying for Java. The software vendor have an update to switch from Java to Open Java, but the vendor's QC is horrendous and the customer does not want to spend the money, which is considerable, and have things come out worse. He has been down that path before. Is there a way to just freeze the Java version at what he has? And will it affect updating to Fedora 31 or future Fedora updates after that? Many thanks, -T

Looking for doc on kernel crash dump handling.

by George R Goffe

Hi, I'm trying to help shoot a possible kernel bug which may create a dump. I'm trying to find doc on how to enable the crashdump "features" of my FC33 (Rawhide) system. tldp.org seems to be out of date docs.fedoraproject.org doesn't seem to have a search facility... Can anyone give me a hint please? Best regards, George...
