And I think this may have been caused due to incomplete updates by kde's update widget. I used that instead of dnf and cancelled halfway. Today, grub is broken.

Yep, that sounds like the very likely culprit

Why however.

I think it downloaded a package, installed it, then downloaded the next package and repeat instead of downloading them all at once

sounds awful

(But kinda what i'd expect of kde)

What did you do to destroy grub? Damn Easy mode: have another pc where you can create a boot repair usb?

I'll just recover my data via a live USB and install Fedora 28 workstation then.

tmpfs 12G 2,1M 12G 1% /tmp

I have some issues e.g. when compiling clang or installing android sdk. (They crash after some time) Both worked before, the only changes are F27 instead of F26 and luks encryption. Do you have any ideas how I could work around this issue?

F28 for one, mounting /tmp to hdd/ssd instead too.

Maybe this is a silly question, but does anyone use antivirus software on linux?

Only to scan traffic for winshit machines.

Linux comes with plenty security tools out of the box. Look into selinux to see how it works.

I don't

I've been a linux-only user for a few years now, and the other day one of my windows mates was buying antivirus software. I had honestly completely forgotten about those days.

Yeah, I'm using SELinux on Fedora right now, its a bit of a learning curve though

what groups can i add my user to during install?

sudo and wheel (you can rename it during the installation process)

None that you'd need to worry about as they're done for you.

alright

only one that might be worth is if you know you are going to use docker

naaaa

helo @AnXh3L0

Yesterday updated Fedora and today Networkmanager shows WiFi Networks: device not ready

Broadcom wifi?

Yes now I restartet Fedora second time and it worked ?

Heya

Heya

how u been

Good, you?

I have an intermittent problem... it only happens few times, like once every 2 months or so... but somedays when rebooting or powering up, after grub screen and choosing the system, fedora gets stuck on a intermittent cursor, before reaching Plymouth, and it stays there. Any ideas? On that situation I have to hard reset the system

normally you can see the blinking cursor for some seconds before the plymouth boot screen appears, but when I have this problem, it gets stuck on te blinking cursor forevah

how does one buy hardware that enjoys good community as well as support? ?

future-proof too

:D

how does one buy hardware that enjoys good community as well as support? ?

intel/recent amd gpus intel wifi/atheros 9 series (not 10!) nothing exotic of chinesium making

maybe looking for libreboot approved hardware

intel/recent amd gpus intel wifi/atheros 9 series (not 10!) nothing exotic of chinesium making

atheros 9 for fully libre, intel for "blobs but redistributable and tested"

do you prefer AMD cpus over Intel's?

Cheaper for more performance, longer upgradeable. Yes.

Okay :) guys my cpu fan runs like usain bolt, I want to find a cui/gui utility to keep track of the fan speed. anyone know of any good?

sensors from the package lm_sensors

there are extensions for gnome, if you use gnome

apart from lm_sensors in CLI

if you have a thunkpad, there's a gnome extension

I use it, but it does not constantly run right? it's a one time command issue. I'm looking for something like a monitor

what desktop?

Or librenms ?

what desktop?

GNOME 3.28.1 on F28

then use gnome extensions

there are some

Gnome shell extensions

I couldn't find a good extension, could you recommend?

in my case i use thinkpad thermal

but because i use a thinkpad, obviously

system-monitor. its in the repos.

before, I wa susing the Sensors extension

Hmmm, 8GB ram rubs me the wrong way, guess 16 gigs is quickly becoming the norm.

or maybe 12 will do too.

8 is painful

In fairness, it's basically your build

If intel didnt deprecate z170 i'd get a i7-8700k for my current pc

but

fuck intel for doing that.

My *NAS/compute build with more ram and better cpu ?

and a gpu

I'm still a poor student :P

to a world where gpus replace cpus ❤️

I'll get the good hardware when I can afford it

Its way over awesome still ?

I'll get the good hardware when I can afford it

It is really good hw.

why can't we use GPUs for everything

fuck intel for doing that.

No, that'd be awful.

why can't we use GPUs for everything

Because they have super awful per-core power.

And are super specialized for what they do.

We use both CPUs and GPUs because each is better at tasks than the other

This there a way to limit the size of a folder?

GPUs do very quick calculations, e.g. vector arithmetic, but have to do a lot of parallel calculations

And are super specialized for what they do.

Just curious, are you a data science/machine learning enthusiast?

Modern gpus got compute units.

Still weak per CU and not at all useful for general purpose computing for todays pcs.
