I'm the second day with Linux)

What do you think about it? :)

Some Windows got black screen

What do you think about it? :)

Much better and worse than Windows.

Much better and worse than Windows.

Would you care to elaborate, please?

Is it simple to change?

It is.

Just install another desktop

If you on Ubuntu

sudo apt install xfce

Or xfce-desktop

I don't remember

On Fedora

sudo dnf install xfce4

Would you care to elaborate, please?

In some cases Windows is better (WiFi, second graphics card). Also 99% is working out of the box. In other cases Windows is shit (I don't think this is important to describe).

If you on Ubuntu

Fedora.

Ok. A good package too it's xfce4-goodies

Rs

Lol

After just logoff and change desktop

Hmm.. So I can live with GNOME as a beginner and sometime switch to xfce when I want to play, right?

You can live where do you want

Xfce it's very good too

Xfce it's very good too

I know. But I'm beginner :3

There are issues with gnome

But it's works yet

If a Windows get black

Just force full screen some times

And you got them normal

I'll be back soon

I know. But I'm beginner :3

If you're used to Windows desktop you can use Cinnamon. But don't let others impose their preferences, if you like Gnome stick to it. I'm no beginner and I've been using for almost a year.

I don't really like GNOME, installed Fedora as my first distro. Tbh I want to install Arch.

If you're a beginner, Arch is maybe not the best option.

Yes :D So Fedora was the best choise for the first time.

If you don't like Gnome you can try XFCE, Mate or Cinnamon.If you're willing to learn and tweak you can try KDE.

Not now. Interface is even better than windows.

Cool. Glad you like it.

Gnome is awesome.

Not now. Interface is even better than windows.

The best of all is that you can choose. There are a lot of Desktop Environments: Gnome and KDE are the most commons, MATE, XFCE, Cinnamon are pretty good and a lot of distros have versions with those installed as default (in Fedora we call that ones Spins)

hello. i have a problems when install broadcom-wl. can you help helper me please

But there still other ones, like Fluxbox, Blackbox, Sugar, LXDE, LXQT, Unity (Just for Ubuntu), Pantheon, Deepin, Enlightenment

i installed broadcom-wl and kernel-devel and then ran akmods as superuser but it errors

hello. i have a problems when install broadcom-wl. can you help helper me please

Can you be more specific? I install broadcom drivers everytime

$ sudo akmods Checking kmods exist for 4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64 [ OK ] Files needed for building modules against kernel 4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64 could not be found as the following directories are missing: /usr/src/kernels/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/ /usr/lib/modules/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/build/Is the correct kernel-devel package installed?

Ok, run "uname -a" and paste the result

And please run "dnf info kernel-devel | fpaste" and give us the link

Do you have RPM Fussion or Russian Fedora repositories installed???

rpmfusion

https://paste.fedoraproject.org/541540/70199148

Ok, Have you installed the akmod-wl package???

yes

It's weird, everything looks right

i know

Why do you need to run the akmods command???

in previous experiences wifi has not worked without running the akmods command first

Ok, I understand. Well, since F23 I haven't issues that requires to recompile the akmods. Try tu run the command with su -c instead that with sudo

su -c "akmods"

And well, the fpaste said that you don't have installed the kernel-devel package

In line 8, should say @System meaning that is installed

Look here: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/541545/87052814

Lines, 9, 24 and 39 shows installed kernel-devel packages in my system

And well, the fpaste said that you don't have installed the kernel-devel package

$ sudo dnf install kernel-devel Last metadata expiration check: 0:22:04 ago on Tue Jan 31 13:30:28 2017. Package kernel-debug-devel-4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64 is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!

Mmm

ERROR: S client not available

Ok, kernel-debug-devel is not the same that kernel-devel, but probably one depends in the other...

su -c "akmods"

Last kernel in main repos is 4.9.6, not 4.9.5.

Did you ckeck that actually the paths /usr/src/kernels/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/ and /usr/lib/modules/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/build/ are there???

$ ls /usr/lib/modules/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/build /usr/lib/modules/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/build this one seems to exist $ ls /usr/src/kernels/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/ ls: cannot access '/usr/src/kernels/4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64/': No such file or directory this one doesnt

Ok, that is the reason. Your solution its to install kernel-devel specifically. Maybe sudo dnf install kernel-devel-4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64

Or selecting it directly in yumex

Anyone has an idea how to install nvidia driver on Fedora laptop which they call it Optimus, I never seccessfully get it work, now I am on terminal only

You *must* remove kernel-debug-devel first. Then install kernel-devel.

How can I know if there is someone packaging an especific package to fedora? I see instructions for the budgie desktop adding a repo from opensuse

Or cloning the git repo

@CamFr Welcome!

Need help

Can someone help me set up the partition?

We are all need help ?

Hmmm

Maybe you should try installing it with the defaults first

And learn a bit about Linux

/ is remounted with /

/home with /home

Dude, just need to figure out the Mount point for EFI system

And learn a bit about Linux

Been using Linux from past 4yrs

Dude, just need to figure out the Mount point for EFI system

I should mount that to /boot/EFI right?

Thank you?

Hmm, I replied to this earlier, but it didn't send the message...
