Hi, http://www.sysresccd.org/Download With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage" After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000". Is this file ok to restore? If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000" But here below http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots the file is name like this: "diskimage.pimg" Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly? And how can I restore it?

Hi, I upgraded to F31 late last week and I am missing the MiscFixed 16 font that I prefer using. Where would I find it?

The (bad) state of Qt on GNOME / Wayland

by mario futire

I am developing a Qt app in Fedora 31 using the default GNOME wayland session and I am very sorry to see the state of Qt in this configuration. 1) qt creator crashes often (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773356) the crash report tool does not seem to help 2) drag & drop does not work in Qt creator (and in no other Qt app) (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774762 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80303) 3) main window geometry cannot be restored when the application restarts (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80612) I think GNOME / Wayland / Qt it is just not ready and should not be offered as the default desktop session for Fedora. If I force Qt to use X11 emulations, things are much better. Probably Qt is responsible (but in the bug reports someone says that KDE / Wayland works well), and GNOME is not Qt, but there are so many Qt apps, that sending new users to a non working environment re-enforces the fact that "just works" is not true in Linux.

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

F30 Lenovo x140e - no wifi

by Robert Moskowitz

I have been using ethernet up to now. I went to enable the wifi, to see no wifi listed. It has been too long since I have had to do this troubleshooting. Can some point me to what I need to look at to find what the Fedora thinks is the wifi? thanks

Is This Windows?.....

by Eddie G. O'Connor Jr.

k....I'm just gonna ask this: Why is it now that when I get notifications for updates I'm being prompted to "restart & Install"?...... W T H!???? Is this WINDOWS!?.......I have enjoyed the fact that I could update my system and use my computer until I was ready to shutdown / restart at my leisure. Now?....there's a funky button up top of the Software Updates (after its found packages to update) that says "Restart & Install"?......is there ANY way possible to TURN THIS CRAP OFF!!?? Is there some config file I can alter that will make this GO AWAY!? (I know I'm acting like a lunatic, but I was in the IT field since the Windows NT 4.0 days...and after finding Linux?...I have enjoyed NOT having to restart after updates.) Please Fedora Admins.....Fedora Magical Unicorns......Fedora High Council Wizards....PLEASE find a way to make this just GO AWAY!?.... EGO II

Evolution and winmail.dat tnef support

by ogio.spam

Hi all, I'm receiving emails from a lot of customers that use Microsoft client/server. Sometime I receive the emails with winmail.dat attached. Evolution is unable to display it correctly. If I use ktnef to open the attachement I have other problems. Some of the problems found on ktnef are solved with ytnef. I had look at google solutions and I found that evolution can be compiled with tnef plugin enabled, but it seems Fedora don't do it. Can I understand why, and if there is a simple way to obtain tnef support working on the box with Evolution? I'm using Fedora 31 with Evolution 3.34.2 Regards Ambrogio

What is better a 2nd drive for Raid 1 or a backup one?

by Javier Perez

Hi I have my /home partition on a 2TB HDD drive about half full. Should be doing regular backups but not in the habit. What is better? A. Purchase a second 2TB to create a Raid1 mirror or B. Purchase a second 4TB drive for backup purposes. If case B, should I get a USB3.0 adapter or similar so that I could just plug the HDD, let it do the backup and unplug and store it? Or is it better to install it on another networked pc and do it through the network? Is there a better, easier, less troublesome option to keep the data safe that does not involve the cloud? This is a home network Thanks -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

help for an install

by François Patte

Bonjour, I want to install fedora in dual boot with windows 10 on a dell laptop (latitude 3500) on which windows is preinstalled. I firstly boot on an usb stick with Gparted in order to resize the partitions but Gparted doesn't "see" the SSD... I disabled the secure boot, but nothing has changed, Gparted sees only its own partition and nothing else. I have the last version of Gparted ( 1.0.0-5). Could anybody help me? I don't know anything of windows which I never used... -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte FSF https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/presenting-shoetool-happy-holidays-fr...
