F35 and nvidia from rpmFusion Caution
by Ed Greshko
If you are running F35 and the nVidia drivers from rpmFusion be careful before you update the nVidia drivers.
The nVidia drivers update to 495 drops support for some GPUs. But the update doesn't check for that. So,
you may end up with a system with a broken GUI desktop. In my case, I was able to get the login screen
sometimes, but it would hang with the 495 driver.
I reverted to the 470 driver and all is fine.
FWIW, the nouveau driver also causes hangs with my GPU. I'd buy a new version of GPU but nVidia
is hard to find at the moment.

Fedora image on flash drive bootable both UEFI and Legacy
by Petr Menšík
Hi!
I would like to have my flash drive prepared with recent Live image. I
know how to write image to an usb drive and how to boot it.
However, I carry 64GB large disk on my keys and I would like to have two
things:
- bootable live image
- data partition for common files, visible from Windows
- should boot both on recent computer with UEFI preference
- should boot also on older computer with legacy boot only.
I understand my expectations are not very low. But because the image
itself can boot on both architectures, I would hope there exist tools
able to prepare such configuration.
Unfortunately, gdisk can display partition tables on image only
partially. It is not able to modify it and add another data partition
after image ends. Which were the only required step after dd
if=Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso of=/dev/sdc as I naively
thought.
Do you know if is even theoretically possible? Are there existing tools
able to create both GPT and MBR tables, just like on Fedora images? How
are those images created?
I would be were grateful for any tips how to archieve my goal.
Cheers,
Petr

Using python to get a list of repositories, including RHEL
by Philip Kauffman
Forgive my ignorance: I'm a long time Debian/Ubuntu user and admin, so I'm not up on all the things everyone might take to be normal.
My goal is to use a python script to get all a systems repositories in a data structure (list,dict,whatever). I've gotten most of the way there with the below which is able to get all repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo. However, I can't find any reference to how to also make python3-dnf get the RHEL repositories as well... even though it is clearly capable of doing so (see below).
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
<code>
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import dnf
base = dnf.Base()
base.read_all_repos()
base.fill_sack()
base.fill_sack_from_repos_in_cache()
# This prints all non RHEL repositories ONLY
for repo in base.repos.all():
#print(repo.dump())
print(repo.id)
# This returns an empty list
print(base.repos.get_matching('rhel'))
</code>
Yet... when I use the CLI I do get the rhel repos.
# dnf repolist rhel* | awk '{print $1}'|grep rhel
rhel-x86_64-appstream-8
rhel-x86_64-baseos-8
rhel-x86_64-codeready-builder-8
rhel-x86_64-supplementary-8
Here is what happens when you run the script above.
No rhel repos are returned.
# ~/t.py
elrepo
epel
[] # empty list when using get_matching("rhel")
Cheers,
Phil

What is this lock screen
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora 34
mate-desktop-1.26.0-1.fc34.x86_64
When I am in Mate, after a period of activity, I
get this annoying lock screen (if that is what it
is called).
https://ibb.co/5G7Qt73
I have set the screen saver to no lock and turned
power and hibernate off.
How do I rid myself of this annoyance?
Many thanks,
-T

Run xsane without root password prompt?
by Tom Horsley
I have a network scanner. Every time I start xsane, it thinks a bit,
then prompts me for the root password, then finally the xsane
windows come up and I can scan.
Is there any magic I can do to avoid that root prompt? I can't
imagine I have to be root to connect to a network device.

I'm sorry, but your emails are really not making sense. I suggest
finding a support group in your native language, which appears to be
French. I believe someone already suggested one. Otherwise, maybe try
directly using Google Translate. I appreciate your attempt to write in
English, but I'm pretty sure at this point, Google Translate would
produce a more understandable result. Maybe even write your question in
French with the translated result as well.
