by Robert McBroom
Running xfce4 desktop on f38 terminal the desktop windows have lost the
window bar at the top. Can't reposition open windows.

Server edition password
by Bill Cunningham
I installed the Server addition to get used to servers. I added
firefox and Xfce and their dependencies along with httpd and tried to
log into localhost:9090. I believe that is the right port. I am prompted
to enter fedora server edition password. I have read there is no default
password, but it wants a user name. What am I supposed to enter as a
user? To access Fedora Server Edition from Xfc and firefox?

After installing with dnf5 I got an error like this when I try to use the vcpkg search :
error: Could not detect vcpkg-root. If you are trying to use a copy of vcpkg ... you must define the VCPKG_ROOT ...
Any idea?

FreeIPA on Fedora and dnf system-upgrade
by Ian Pilcher
I am currently running FreeIPA on CentOS 7, and I am considering moving
it to Fedora.
On RHEL and derivatives, in-place upgrades are not supported. It is
necessary to provision a new server, running the new OS version, add it
as a FreeIPA replica, and then decommission the old system.
How does this work on Fedora? Will I be able to use dnf system-upgrade,
or will I find myself having to use the process described above?

Restarting video driver to turn on external vga port
by Robert Moskowitz
I have a Lenovo x140e running F38.
The video driver is normally the Radeon, but some time ago here I was
told to change the amdgpu driver but
lspci -nnk | grep -iE "VGA|DISPLAY" -A3
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Kabini [Radeon HD 8330] [1002:9832]
Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2219]
Kernel driver in use: amdgpu
Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
But sometimes after a few suspend/unsuspend when remote and no external
VGA, this system forgets about the external monitor.
Is there someway to force the video driver to wake up and see the
attached vga monitor?
thanks

Remote desktop on headless server?
by Matthew Saltzman
Hi, all-
I would like to set up a workstation in a network closet with no
monitor or keyboard attached and run a (GNOME shell) desktop session
from another machine on the local network.
What's the best way to do that in Fedora 38, and is there a good source
of documentation someplace? The GNOME desktop sharing facility requires
that the connection be to an active session logged in on the console.
Googling hasn't been much help for recent distros.
TIA.

Nvidia Driver Turned Off?
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
When we issue the command "sudo dnf upgrade" and it updates the
nvidia drivers, does the update of those drivers remove them from memory
and load the nouveau drivers?
I'm trying to understand why after doing the update a html 5 game
that requires hardware acceleration to run complained that hardware
acceleration was needed even though the browser was configured to use
hardware acceleration if available, but after a reboot the game then ran
fine in the browser.
regards,
Steve
