Re: Fedora questions.

I use mate without compiz. Marco is the default WM, so when I boot into mate, I just remove all of the compiz-related files.

Fedora questions.
by Mmobilea
Hello all,
I'm testing fedora on virtual machine in vmware. I have some questions.
1. How to get desktop icons for gnome?
2. If it's inpossible, how to get mate-desktop environment with desktop
icons, but without compiz manager, because of problems with orca
screenreader.
3. Is it usable by beginners?
4. How to install drivers and games on wine?
5. What antivirus do you recommend?
6. How to automatically update fedora?
Thank you all?

F32 installer : "bootloader did not set EFI variable
LoaderDevicePartUUID"
by sean darcy
The F32 installer fails. systemd-gpt-auto-generator can't find the EFI
partition because the bootloader did not set it. Therefore sysroot is
not setup.
This is an Acer laptop, upgrading from F31.
Before that error, and maybe related to it, there are errors loading 2
X.509 certificates.
1. Microsoft Windows Production
2. Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA
3. Acer Database
4. Linpus
5. Error
6. Error
7. Fedora Secure Boot
I've tried booting with Secure Boot on and with it off.
AND, there's an rdsosreport.txt file generated. The console suggests you
save it on a usb stick or in /boot. I can't figure out how to mount
either. Any way to save it?

gimp and F32 upgrade
by SternData
I do not have gimp installed, but do have Glimpse installed via flatpak.
system upgrade reports:
Modular dependency problem:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides module(platform:f31) needed by module
gimp:2.10:3120191106095052:f636be4b-0.x86_64
removing glimpse and flatpak does not remove the problem.
What should I try next?

GNOME 3.36 power off in less than 4 clicks?
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
With the new GNOME version it seems we're one more click away from
powering off one PC. And so it takes 4 clicks now. Is there a shorter
way to achieve the same thing?
Thank you.

Fedora 31->32 impressions
by Richard Shaw
The actual upgrade went fine as usual...
The problem was afterwards. I usually do some package cleanup afterwords,
there used to be specific programs for this but I'm not sure they're
functional anymore so I use "dnf repoquery".
Running "dnf repoquery --duplicates" didn't show any significant issues so
all was well there.
I then trying "dnf distosync" to make sure I didn't have any leaf packages.
To my surprise a BUNCH of packages were listed, mostly modules. I ge
that in certain cases modules may be needed but I have *NEVER*
intentionally enabled a module version of a package so I found this quite
disconcerting.
Subsequently, I tried "dnf repoquery --conflicts" and was again greeted
with a long list.
Is this all "modules run amuck?" I REALLY don't like where this is heading
and I'm not going to install hundreds of modules to make dnf happy.
Thanks,
Richard
