I installed a GRUB theme and changed some options in the config but now I need to run update-grub (alias for grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg) after every kernel update or else that new kernel version won't boot. Does anybody know a fix for this?

Hi, I am trying to print different text documents using mail merge wizard and when I try to print them, the Writer crahes every time. I did try to restart Writer into safe mode but did not help. I am using Fedora 40 and Writer Version: 24.2.3.2 (X86_64) Build ID: 420(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded. Did anyone experienced similar error? Thanks

Recently I installed Fedora 40, I have a Intel Nuc with a 75Hz monitor but I tried different ways to set the refresh rate from 60 to 75 but I couldn't.

What do I need to do?

Any help is welcome because I didn't found any forum to help me to solve this problem.

Hi all,

Edit: I use the KDE spin of Fedora 40 (updated after I posted this) and have a Windows 10 partition. However, I am not able to boot into Windows as it doesn't show up in GRUB.

I've been encountering some frustrating issues with my Fedora Linux installation and I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some guidance or solutions. I'm gonna post them all in this thread - please tell me if I should break each issue into individual

1. Time Setting: I've noticed that my system time doesn't seem to be setting correctly, even when I have automatic time synchronization enabled. The time in my BIOS is correct. Even when I try to set the time manually, it reverts back to the wrong settings.

2. Persistent Wi-Fi Password Prompts: Despite having saved my Wi-Fi password in the connection settings within KDE, I'm constantly being asked to re-enter it every time I connect. It's a bit of a hassle, My credentials are saved.

3. Browser Rendering Issues: When using both Chrome and Firefox on Fedora, I've noticed that certain websites, like Arduino.cc, don't load images or schematics properly. For example, when I try to access https://docs.arduino.cc/built-in-examples/basics/Blink/ the images fail to load. Strangely, I don't encounter this problem when using the same browsers on my Windows desktop. I have also tried to start Firefox in "fail safe" mode without addons enable but it does not make solve the issue.

4. Dual Boot Trouble: During the installation process, I managed to break my dual boot to Windows, which didn't happen when I initially tried out Linux Mint. The Linux Mint installer automatically managed to make my system dual boot through GRUB. However, I probably messed up in the Fedora installation process, and now I don't know how to fix it.

5. Driver Discovery: Despite enabling RPM Fusion for the Nvidia Driver, I cannot find the driver in the Discover app. Is there a step I might be missing, or a different approach I should take to locate and install the Nvidia driver?

Just in case anyone else encounters this.

If you had any custom settings for Wireplumber in a lua config you need to migrate them to the new format.

I've been using Arch as a daily driver for years and love it's customization level, then I realized I just want an OS that works. I need tips, advice, or even warnings before moving.

Maybe some of you already had the problem: mesa-freeworld from RPM-Fusion can be out of sync with the standard mesa packages.
Once this led to a black screen after reboot for me.

So, I decided to create a metapackage which pins the versions of all mesa dependencies to be compatible with mesa-freeworld.
I published a Copr Repo with it, in case others think it is useful.

Hi guys!

I downloaded the Fedora Sway (SPIN) ISO, but when I try to simulate it in VirtualBox, nothing happens.

Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed in this case?

Any tip is welcome.

Title says it all. I changed my btrfs subvol names so I could use timeshift to manage my snapshots, after regenerating the initramfs and editing grub to point to the new subvol names all was fine however after I got a kernel upgrade recently, the latest grub entry for the kernel specifies the old subvol name, resulting in a failed boot. I dont know grub well enough to know what options to add to /etc/default/grub, or even if thats where I need to add it. After editing the entry manually it boots perfectly fine so theres my question. Is there a grub config option to specify the name for a subvolume to boot? I'd rather not manually edit grub.cfg every time theres a kernel update lol.

1. Does Silverblue being immutable has an effect on security, or is it more about stability and reliability?

2. Is it possible to have Nvidia drivers with Secure Boot on Silverblue, and how?

Thanks a lot!

Is fedora coreos the right one? It mainly reads as if it was for clusters of servers or something like that.

Hey guys, I've finally started exploring talking about the work I'm doing with the Fedora Project as part of the marketing team and now as part of the design and magazine teams too! I really enjoy the "This Week in" style of weekly reports on all the work that is being done, so I'm looking forwards to sharing it like that!

I'm also pushing to get this officially in the project (for more teams to do this weekly/monthly report) so we can actually create a project-wide newsletter, something at least akin to a This Week in Fedora, and I'd really appreciate your feedback.

I can't resolve (ping, ssh) any computer on my network from a newly installed minimal Gnome Desktop F39 on a laptop; since it's minimal, it's possible something's missing from the installation.

trying from the laptop gives:

$ ping server.local
ping: server.local: Temporary failure in name resolution

pinging .box static DNS entries as well as IP addresses works. all other computers can resolve each other and the new laptop (1 debian, 1 fedora, 1 macOS), some have static, some dynamic IPs. they all get the DNS IP of my pi-hole, which resolves everything fine. resolve.conf and all other relevant files are stock. avahi and systemd-resolve are running and report no issues. same behaviour with WiFi and LAN.

I could switch to static IPs and assign e.g. .box suffixes all around via local DNS but I don't want to do that, this setup is/was working on every other PC.

any ideas what I'm missing?

edit: just booted off of a live USB with F39, resolves server.local just fine. so I'm missing something in my installation, right?

edit II: installed it (minimal) on another laptop, same deal - no .local resolution.

Hey, I use a 2020 i5 macbook. I installed fedora on it but it does not recognize the keyboard and touchpad from my mac. Works only with external keyboard.

So happy to announce that finally, Swayora reached a usable state.
Keep in mind, that I was working on the installer more than the sway configuration itself.
So, keep checking it out for updates 😉

I'm on fedora Silverblue and just saw that firefox is still on 118 whereas 120 is about to be released.

I found https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/firefox which says that on fedora 39 firefox is on 119 yet it isn't on my machine.
