First I tried installing CUDA for blender cycles renderer. That broke my driver installation.

Then I removed anything nvidia with sudo dnf remove *nvidia*, which made my system return to the nouveau driver (which works great btw, it's just too slow for what I need)

Now, every time I go sudo dnf install nvidia-driver, it installs it, and when I reboot, my screen is all blown up and using an incorrectly small resolution I cannot change in the settings:

Also nvidia-smi is not being installed. So a lot of stuff is going wrong...
I also think it is not actually running the nvidia driver, since anything accelerated, like the GNOME animations are turned off.

It would be amazing if someone were to provide me with help on this! <3

TLDR: I want to be able to set specific window sizes and positions of the current window with hotkeys, as well as focus on specific apps with hotkeys, but I'm overwhelmed.

I've been trying to switch to Asahi Linux Fedora, and trying Gnome as my desktop environment since it can be customized with CSS, and with Wayland. I tried looking up how to change window layouts with hotkeys and it's confusing on what solution(s) I would end up wanting to use. Would I want to use a window manager?

Ultimate I want an alternative to Rectangle Pro app on Mac, which let's you set many hotketys for changing the current window's size & position: like use up the left or right halves or thirds of the screen, or corners and taking up a quarter of the screen. You can also make custom window layouts and bind those to keys.

I didn't find many results while looking up how to focus on specifc apps with hotkeys. For instance, I'd want to press CTRL Shift Z to switch specifically to Zen Browser or open it if it isn't opened, and CTRL Shift O to open or switch to Obsidian. I looked this up and didn't find options other than wmctrl or wlrctl. I tried the later: wlrctl window focus firefox, but got the error Foreign Toplevel Management interface not found!. on macOS there are many apps for this like BetterTouchTool & Hammerspoon.

As an update to everyone following, I had a meeting today with the Flatpak SIG and Fedora Project Leader, which was a very good conversation. We discussed the issues, how we got here, and what next steps are. For anyone not interested in the specific details, the OBS Project is no longer requesting a removal of IP or rebrand of the OBS Studio application provided by Fedora Flatpaks. This issue should be used for tracking of the other specific, technical issues, that the Fedora Flatpak does still have, which I will address below. From our perspective, there were two key points that we feel are the most important to address:

The issue with the Qt runtime having regression The issue of not knowing where to report bugs for what is a downstream package

For the first bullet, this should be resolved with the update to the latest runtime, which includes Qt 6.8.2 that has the fixes for those regressions in it. For the second, this is obviously a much larger issue to tackle, especially for a project as large as Fedora. We had some very good discussion on how this might be accomplished in the medium-long term, but don't consider it a blocker at this point. We plan to stay engaged and offer our perspective as an upstream project. In addition to those two previously blocking issues, we discussed a handful of other problems with the Fedora Flatpak. I'll keep the details high level in the interest of brevity on this update:

• OBS Studio running on Mesa LLLVM pipe instead of with hardware acceleration (i.e. the GPU)
• X11 Fallback leading to OBS crashing
• VLC Plugin not behaving as expected in the sandbox, needs testing
• Shipping of third-party plugins in the Fedora Flatpak

The discussion was positive and they are actively working to resolve those issues as well, which should hopefully only affect a small number of users. I would like to give a final thank you to Yaakov and the FPL for taking the time to talk to us today.

I need MySql Workbench on my daily driver OS, which is Fedora 41. But I can't seem to find a way to install it.

I first tried this, but dnf can't find the package even after adding the repository.

Same issue with this.

And this.

For all the tutorials I tried searching my dnf for the workbench and trying different variations of the name, but it just doesn't seem to exist as an installable package.

I even installed the snap package version (after installing snapd for the first time), which does install on the system, but it seems to have some kind of dependency issue because keeps saying could not execute child process dbus-launch no such file or directory when I try to do anything (even though I have dbus installed according to dnf).

So now I'm stumped. Does anyone know how you're "supposed" to install MySQL Workbench on Fedora 41?

Had some fairly bad glitches on the previous version with Wayland, and the 570 drivers are supposed to fix them. Is anyone already rocking 570 from rpm fusion, or is it still in beta?

For those who aren't aware, recently OBS was added to Fedora Flatpaks. OBS reported that the package was broken. The Fedora Flatpak maintainer didn't want to remove it, which eventually led to OBS threatening legal action.

Side note: the issues with the Fedora Flatpak are twofold. Only official builds of OBS get certain features. The other issue is Fedora's stance on proprietary and patented software limits what they can include. In my testing, the Fedora Flatpak worked fine for my basic screen recording use case.

The part which confuses me is how people are reacting to this. People seem to support the fact that this escalated to threatening legal action.

But at the same time, what Fedora is doing is really no different to what all other distros are doing. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, and OBS Studio all also package unofficial versions that lack features because they don't have access to the OBS API key.

I get preferring getting your packages from upstream. I can get not liking Fedora Flatpaks. But supporting legal action against a FOSS project for providing a downstream package, even if it's a "bad" one? That's just crazy to me.

It's gets even funnnier (in a sad way) because a few years ago Red Hat donated $10k to OBS after they made the Flathub package official. And now OBS is threatening legal action against Fedora for providing an unofficial flatpak.

Does it make sense to snapshot the home subvolume? I wonder if taking snapshots of the home subvolume is a huge waste of disk space, since all the important files are already backed up through different and more secure methods. How is your setup? Open survey ✌🏻

Hi.

I'm using Fedora KDE spin since last year, and have a need for the commands / a script to change power management and lock screen settings via the console (instead of manually going through the GUI). I tried googling the commands, but feel like I didn't even get into the right direction.

If anyone could point me into the correct direction, that'd be greatly appreciated. A ready solution is nice, but I'd also like to know how to find such things by myself in the future.

Sorry if I use the wrong terminology, I used Windows until switched last year.

Hi! I'm a flutter developer and I've recently switched from Ubuntu to Bluefin (based on Fedora Silverblue) I was trying to install flutter and all the dependencies it asks for when running flutter doctor and while for clang++, cmake and ninja I have been able to install them with Homebrew (brew install llvm cmake ninja) and the warning went away, flutter seems not to detect GTK 3.0 development libraries when installed through homebrew (brew install gtk+3)

After having looked a little bit online, I've seen that the problem is probably that it's searching the libraries in the wrong place and in fact even when I run pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0 I see the library as missing. Therefore, I tried setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable to the folder where brew installed my libraries (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/gtk+3/lib/pkgconfig) and after that the output of the pkg-config program above is the one expected. However, this doesn't seem to fix the issue with flutter doctor... why? where should I specify this path for flutter to notice it then?

EDIT: I found out that I was almost right! The PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable is what flutter looks at to find GTK-3 libraries, but should be set to /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/lib/pkgconfig (if pkg-config has been installed through brew as I did) and then everything will work properly.

I need to use a Windows VM to do a few things - I'm on Fedora and my Xbox controller has been glitching out a lot and I need to try updating the firmware. Also, I got a new RGB keyboard and I'm not able to use the proprietary software using Wine and OpenRGB does not support my keyboard (Cosmic Byte GK34 Firefly).

But when I try to install a Win 10 ISO it won't let me past the Microsoft account page and the oobe command that's suggested everywhere on reddit is not working. It says no such command found.

Windows 11 ISOs also aren't working because even if I put 6GB memory and 80GB Storage for the VM (Microsoft lists 4GB and 64GB as requirement) it still says system does not meet requirement. I'm using the Boxes app for the VM creation.

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?
