Switching nvidia GPU cards - can multiple driver versions co-exist?
by Jon LaBadie 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

After about 12 years of service my GPU card is starting to act up. It seems to shut down so no video on my monitor, even the virtual consoles. System is up and functioning as I can access it via ssh. Sometimes this state is accompanied by the fan running at high speed though the card is not overheating. The old card uses nvidia's 470 series of drivers while its replacement will use the 525 series. Can I pre-install the 525 packages so they are present when I reboot after I install the new hardware? I.e. can both series be installed without consequence? Thanks, jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

VPN routing differences
by Tibor Attila Anca 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

Hi, Fedora 37 is amazing, thanks for the work! There is a small thing however, that bothers me. For a few services of my company I need VPN (openconnect). With the required packages network-manager (recent GNOME on updated Fedora 37) is able to establish the vpn connection, but it would not change routing in a proper way. Neither Firefox nor Edge (why I use this, read below) find the address of a specific service within the vpn-network. Connection is however established. I also can use the cisco-client. This sets everything fine, however, Firefox keeps asking for login credentials in a loop, so that the system locks my account and I have to contact the admins to unlock it. That is why I use Edge... Now, these are two different questions, but the first on is more important. Thanks Tibor -- Dr. Tibor Attila Anca Pastor Pfarramt II Ev.-luth.

Adobe Acrobat Can't Find the pdf File When Trying to Display an Email Attachment in Thunderbird Daily
by Stephen Morris 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed in F37 via Snap. When I click on a pdf attachment in Thunderbird Daily I get a prompt asking if I want to view it in the Ocular default or save the attachment. If I click "OK" to display it in Ocular it displays fine. When I click on the Drop Down in the prompt and select "Other" to display the pdf in something other than Ocular I am not shown Acrobat in the list, but if I look at "KDE System Settings->Applications->File Associations->application->pdf" Adobe Acrobat is shown as the third entry in the list of applications. If I move Adobe Acrobat to the top then the prompt from Thunderbird shows Adobe Acrobat as the default as expected. With the prompt now asking if I want to view the pdf in Acrobat, if I click on "OK" Acrobat is launched but produced the error "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found". If I edit the pdf association entry for Acrobat and add "%U" into the empty Arguments text box, in the same way it is specified for the Ocular entry, Acrobat still produces the error message that it can't find the file. Has the snap process not installed Acrobat correctly, or is the file argument for Acrobat not "%U", or is there something else at play here? regards, Steve

F37 broke netupstools
by Sam Varshavchik 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

After updating F37 nut is unhappy, spewing this every couple of seconds: Nov 21 06:48:28 monster.email-scan.com nut-server[1735]: Can't connect to UPS [nutdev1] (usbhid-ups-nutdev1): No such file or directory Interestingly enough, the XFCE desktop's panel has a widget that shows the UPS and its charged status. Today's project is to figure out what's broken, does anyone happen to know what's up with this, and save me some time?

kvm vs firefox issue?
by Eyal Lebedinsky 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

I am running up-to-date f36. Recently I had kvm "virsh restore" take a long time. Normally it takes less than 10s but now it took 10-15m!. Then it took 30m (qemu-system-x86_64 running 100% CPU all the time) and I started looking around. I noticed that khugepaged is also running 100% CPU. Thinking that there may be a memory issue, on a whim, I closed firefox. KVM came up immediately. The machine has enough memory (32GB) and kvm was allocated 8GB. Right now I again resumed the vm, and after 2m I closed firefox and again kvm responded instantly. This started only recently (kernel 6.0.18 or 6.1, or another update?) Is there a known problem. -- Eyal Lebedinsky (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)

Possible to recalibrate the battery on a laptop?
by andreas.fournier＠runbox.com 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

So recently I've started to get this problem that the laptop dies even when the battery indicator says there is something like 40% left, i.e. I never get a low battery warning. Then when I plug it in and restart it also says the battery is at something like 40%. The laptop is about five years old. Is it possible to recalibrate the battery indicator so I would get a warning when it is about to die?
