Seems only fedora packs spice guest tools in by default then

I'll try Fedora as guest today later, yes

Already downloading iso

I think he's just hitting a limit on resolution

No, i think the packed in qxl driver is too old.

Going trough the mailing list i found someone that found 2k/4k available as resolution with a newer qxl driver on debian which ubuntu doesnt pack in still.

So my guess is that rhel has gone with the stable backports route on that.

What about Fedora?

Not many that i know of, gnome-looks may have more tough.

for others d.e. (mate) i means dude

What about Fedora?

Well, no harm in trying. XD

for others d.e. (mate) i means dude

Sorry, i dont know of any. Doesnt mate have its internal themes?

not sure about that in fedora repo, only blackmate & arc that i know. but arc is nice enough for me. so noprob ?

Well, gnome-look is not only for gnome, but for all gtk based.

hmmm...i'll look around, tx

wellcome new fedors

Hi everybody! Has anybody ever experienced issues dual booting fedora 26 with Windows 10? Is it better installing both OSs in legacy mode or uefi?

Hi everybody! Has anybody ever experienced issues dual booting fedora 26 with Windows 10? Is it better installing both OSs in legacy mode or uefi?

Well yes, Windows overwriting the uefi boot record. XD

But aside that uefi should be fine - but you can one up this if you have two gpus (an iGPU and dGpu would be fine too)

Well yes, Windows overwriting the uefi boot record. XD

for me windows creates its own

and the uefi menu recognises both uefi partitions

worked fine

for me windows creates its own

Yes. in the same fat32 /boot/efi partition as your linux will.

its just a stub to load grub but windows 10 has been shown to overwrite it.

Yes. in the same fat32 /boot/efi partition as your linux will.

nope

it creates its own partition

at least it did for me

nope

If not a seperate disk then that sounds like a malfunction. XD

it dint touch the fedora one

Oh you install windows 10 after fedo?

yeah

Yeah then that can happen.

if its the other way around, fedora will use your windows recovery partition

The other way around is the usual way to also get grub and that can result in windows 10 killing your boot record.

and windows wont touch that unless you install another windows partition

The other way around is the usual way to also get grub and that can result in windows 10 killing your boot record.

both ways result in grub

id rather it didnt

dont want grub on my uefi system

just the normal uefi menu

grub just slows boot times

just the normal uefi menu

And what does that call?

grub just slows boot times

disable it waiting at all then. :P

And what does that call?

well it could just bootstrap the os directly

grub isnt a necessity

well it could just bootstrap the os directly

It doesnt unless you work around with system-d and gummiboot or something.

Eh, despite all this i'd much rather jail my windows where it belongs. In a juicy vga passtrough vm. :3

Well yes, Windows overwriting the uefi boot record. XD

Does it happen in legacy mode too?

It doesnt unless you work around with system-d and gummiboot or something.

a bootloader that loads without bothering me

Does it happen in legacy mode too?

no

legacy has one mbr

and one only

Does it happen in legacy mode too?

But you might loose out on features and a faster boottime and all.

Ok fine then

so installing any os will overwrite or update the mbr

I just want to avoid problems on reinstalling grub if Windows overwrites boot partition

so installing any os will overwrite or update the mbr

Okok

I just want to avoid problems on reinstalling grub if Windows overwrites boot partition

Knowing Windows i'd hold a recovery usb ready at all times in dualboot.

And thats why jailing.

Good to know

Thanks guys

Knowing Windows i'd hold a recovery usb ready at all times in dualboot.

actually in uefi, ive never had any issues with dual boot

at all

aside from secure boot

but that was preinstall

not after

actually in uefi, ive never had any issues with dual boot

Most dont. But the ones that get hit are usually the ones that just had wiped their recovery stick for important business presentations. XD

which is lighter, mate or cinnamon

and how do you completely remove xfce and replace it with mate or cinnamon in fedora?

ERROR: S client not available

cinnamon :)

which is lighter, mate or cinnamon

Mate

conflicting responses

cinnamon :)

This was perhaps sarcastic

They both are quite heavy as for me.

ok

They both are quite heavy as for me.

He is asking for a comparison

Well, they are equally heavy, if you ask me.

Heavy enough for it not to make a difference.

ok

and how do you completely remove xfce and replace it with mate or cinnamon in fedora?

I am not sure if this is recommended. Never tried it

then it doesnt matter

ive found out how

dnf remove @xfce

dnf install @cinnamon-desktop

I’d recommend to to the latter first. :D

obviously

I’d recommend to to the latter first. :D

hey guys!

The tricky question again: what about nvidai drivers on Fedora 26 KDE?

I know GNOME presents it on the store once you install a reposiry and makes it easier to install, but what about other distros?

The tricky question again: what about nvidai drivers on Fedora 26 KDE?

Everything works fine.

The tricky question again: what about nvidai drivers on Fedora 26 KDE?

I don't think the drivers are any different for other desktop environments.

The drivers are low-level software, independent of desktop environment. If GNOME presents them to you, it's likely because you have a third-party repository already enabled that has them.

For example, I use Negativo's NVIDIA driver on my desktop, although I haven't had access to my desktop in nine months…

Yeah, I mean what about installation? Do I still need to do all the steps like in this tuto: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA Or is there anything easier than that?

Another thing I was wondering is about the differences between using proprietary, RPM Fusion or Negativo17..

I read something about proprietary version doesn't updation with the system, That the user should update it manually each time

But between the other 2, I see no difference ?

Another thing I was wondering is about the differences between using proprietary, RPM Fusion or Negativo17..

My understanding is that RPMFusion and Negativo add nice packaging for the NVIDIA proprietary driver that NVIDIA doesn't offer (but really should). RPMFusion and Negativo are essentially the same, except the way they package the driver is different. In Fedora 23 or 24, the RPMFusion broke for me and Negativo's worked.

Why? That's a great question! I don't know. ?

I think Negativo tries very hard to follow Fedora packaging standards
