If you break your SDDM setup while apllying a different SDDM theme, you clearly do something wrong. That's supported in SDDM since years and doesn't cause much problems.

Yes, I agree. What I saw were messages about Bluetooth not starting, which makes sense because I have it disabled it. Maybe that particular theme relies or expects Bluetooth on for some reason and panics when it can't find it? I know other people using the same without a problem so the theme itself is compatible to Fedora KDE's version.

I think it was even certificated by lenovo as a linux system for red hat

But wanted your opinion just in case

Latest thinkpad i bought, had to sell it again. It was impossible to make it work right

AMD stuff

That was my error

Well, I have that graphic card I think, or maybe a newer one, and works fine out of the box.

Cooling handling was not supported at all

Yeah, Intel works everywhere and with everything.

Which model was that Thinkpad you sold, @DanieldSM ?

Cooling handling was not supported at all

Geez, that's serious!

Heck, even in windows, it was always overheating even during install of windows

Until it downloaded by updates some AMD Intelligent Cooling crap

Well, installing Windows is quite a stressful task, for both computer and human being.

?

It was a ThinkPad E555, AMD Kaveri

Ah. No, never had the E series.

Any reason to choose that one?

Yup, cheap at second hand. Guess why ?

Even with all update on windows, my R500 with a dual core P8400 is performing better

However, if a user wants the maximum stability and not end up with a broken computer just because butterflies on the login manager were more important than system stability...

Maximum stability is a chimera with all respect. Like absolute security. They don't exist, they're fantasies. You can have a reasonably secure system and a mostly stable software but that's as far as it gets. There are no absolutes and no warranties.

LEL

And its from circa 2008

Yup, cheap at second hand. Guess why ?

Oh, mine is second hand too, I bought it from a German company specialiased in Lenovo. They're pretty good. But I bought it because of the graphics, I needed something with good resolution and a nice video card.

My R500 has better resolution than the E55 which is 6 years newer too ?

And its from circa 2008

I have a laptop about the same age. Dell Latitude, with Nvidia card and an awesome screen. Shame is so heavy and has US keyboard. Works excellent.

Bought on Germany too, german keyb ?

Oh! Like mine! I love this DE keyboard, no need to add any extra layouts. ❤️

Major drawback is weight and that when I put it out, it feels a bit like a dinosaur with the other laptops around, so thick

Yeah, that's what happens to me with the Dell laptop. It's super heavy, I leave it at home when I travel because it's impossible to carry.

But with a SSD runs soooo well for its age on Fedora, even on Windows!

That laptop cries "Old!" ?

?????

But with a SSD runs soooo well for its age on Fedora, even on Windows!

Yeah, my Dell laptop too, although is a normal HDD.

But I have plenty of space ❤️

With lid closed it is almost as thick as two new laptops stacked. If they are ultrabooks, even 3 or 4 ???

LMAO

That's more that the one I have.

About space, because I almost never use the DVD, I have on it an Ultrabay with a 1TB WD Black HDD

Looks like Thinkpad were thicker than Dell?

And leave the DVD on the ThinkPad bag

However updates may render themes incompatible. Worse so for gdm.

If the theme is incompatible with one's KDE version, it won't show up in the list. And as I said other people with the same version is using this theme without a problem, so obviously is some obscure hardware issue impossible to guess.

Just to clear the point, @Wolfshappen , GDM has no tool to change themes while SDDM and KDE provide the tools to tweak it by default

And leave the DVD on the ThinkPad bag

I don't use DVD. I find them so outdated.

that's why I left it on the bag, just in case, which is almost never

better to have a second HDD

There's an external optical device somewhere in this flat. I swear! ?

But yeah, I prefer a backup drive rather than a DVD/CD thing

Well, they should make better login screens then. The default ones are quite dull when not outright ugly.

imho gdm is simple beauty.

The last one is fine. For a week or so.

However if a theme works in kde 5.14 but not in 5.15 you can update regardless.

Oh, yes, of course. But I updated first for that very same reason.

Why this error in rawhide?

Does fedora 29 has gallium nine?

Does fedora 29 has gallium nine?

Not needed https://github.com/disks86/VK9

And it seems the patches have been merged into mainline (gallium nine) since mesa 10.4 so any mesa 10.4+ using distro should have it.

Oh it needs a patched wine too - erm, use playonlinux to test?

I don't know Italian, but the updater couldn't resolve the connection to the mirror.

Install neofetch instead?

He seems to be using gnome so for screenshots he already has his DE.

If you want to take screenshots just use your DEs internal features. For showing off the system info page in gnome exists as well.

Oh and dont use rawhide as daily driver of course.

This is true. However I am rather confused at this news. www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/10/gallium-nine-ubuntu-18-10

Wait this is not about screenfetch, this is about a codecs repo

Wait this is not about screenfetch, this is about a codecs repo

Yes, but due to the failure to fetch the cisco repo it doesnt seem to want to go further.

I see

Oh and yeah screenfetch is deprecated dnf install neofetch but again do not use it as daily driver.

How to set user and password’s proxy into wgetrc?

Definitely worth a read.

Sure, unfortunately I was in Vb

the problem is that fedora 28 does not give me an error, but looks for the package and asks to install it.

I appreciate the simplicity. ?

Anyone know of a self-hosted password manager with similar functionality to LastPass?

Anyone know of a self-hosted password manager with similar functionality to LastPass?

Just use keepassxc and run keepassweb.

It even integrates with nextcloud(13) so you can sync your database everywhere.

There are integration addons for browsers for all major browsers.

Make sure to use keepassxc, it currently has the single best all in one package, including browser plugin support ootb

Thanks, friend ??

Off Topic Does anybody know how to move a table around in Libre office?

I'm on fedora silverblue 28 right now, I would like to install xfce desktop. Is there one package that will install it for me? Or do I have to install all packages separately?

There's a group you can install I believe

There's a group you can install I believe

rpm-ostree install group "Xfce Desktop" Didnt work

dnf install @xfce-desktop-environment

Thanks

I'll try that

Hope it works for you!

Only proved it correct, not tested it.
