Logon screen - display manager?

I remember that sway showed up in gdm but can't test in now =\

Mhm last time I did, it didn't show up maybe it has changed since then?

Okay, it appeared in gdm this time but broke my whole i3 theme. Now I'm back to i3 and everything works as usual ^^

rofi needs some hacks and you have to change i3-dmenu-desktop to make it work in a proper way. But I have no idea how to fix it on integration level.

Why I can't install any Linux version on my PC ?

Any Details of your erorr / issue? What Distribution and on what Hardware you try to run?

I think that the problem is from the BIOS

but I don't know the reason

Nice to see other people who enjoy the good distro that is fedora :D

Any Details of your erorr / issue? What Distribution and on what Hardware you try to run?

The problem is due to a bad functioning of UEFI and MBR system, it seams him.

Anybody can give me a solution

He can't install any GNU/Linux distro due to a UEFI and MBR problem in his motherboard.

Anybody can give me a solution

What pc/laptop, what problem happens?

Try to help him please.

What pc/laptop, what problem happens?

Asus b75m-plus i53330 16 ram GTX 970

are you able to start the installers from the usb drive ?

are you able to start the installers from the usb drive ?

No

Certain motherboards is done for not permit install GNU/Linux.

No

go into your bios and disable "secure boot"

For that, in older motherboards it's more easy to install.

Certain motherboards is done for not permit install GNU/Linux.

Certain BIOS versions on laptops have same issues.

if it then doesnt work try to find something that allows you to use "legacy" or "bios" boot

go into your bios and disable "secure boot"

I do it but don't work too

did you try a different flashdrive?

if it then doesnt work try to find something that allows you to use "legacy" or "bios" boot

I do it too

In your bios/uefi, can you see a section where it says boot order or something ?

did you try a different flashdrive?

Yeah

Did you try to put flashdrive on first place in Hard Drives section?

But with the same drive I can install Linux in another PC/laptop

Did you try to put flashdrive on first place in Hard Drives section?

Yeah

Because some BIOSes can trick you into thinking that you are booting from USB while you actually aren't.

when booting, can you see something like "press a key to open boot order" or something ?

It is usually F7 or F8.

I can boot the installer but wen I press start live drive the sistem not boot

In his display stripes are shown and doesn't continue the process of boot installation.

I can boot the installer but wen I press start live drive the sistem not boot

press "e" to edit the option

when you see start the installer

add "nomodeset" before the - - -

if that doesnt work try with acpi=off there

Okey I gonna try it

Hmm. I not so long ago ran into a weird bug. Installer set VGA out as default on laptop and therefore didn't show on LVDS.

Does anyone know how to setup fedora with btrfs and snapper ?

/names@TeledoraBot

I think that the dream setup would be fedora with the same snapper + grub integration as openSUSE

/names@TeledoraBot

Doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to setup fedora with btrfs and snapper ?

install > select install media > custom layout

when you add new disks or after adding them you can select btrfs

What's snapper?

yeah but after, setting up snapper to be able to boot from snapshots

Did somebody send the link to some irc channel?

I found the link here on the Fedora subreddit.

I strongly recommend against it tough

yeah but after, setting up snapper to be able to boot from snapshots

you can use lvm and xfs for the same purpose

Did somebody send the link to some irc channel?

Fedora twitter acc reposted it.

basically, you can make snapshots of filesystems using copy on write

yeah but after, setting up snapper to be able to boot from snapshots

What do you plan to do with that? boot a certain state always?

Any differences from LVM?

Any differences from LVM?

snapper works with lvm directly even

Basically, if you upgrade to the next release and something is broken, you can revert back to the older release, for the time for the devs to fix it

and ext4

use lvm

oh I didn't know that

the main appeal of this solution is to use copy on write, for snapshots that take less space on disk

Can't imagine how much space would that eat with my usecase. :D

ERROR: S client not available

Simple: Take lvm snapshot update reboot if failed (which shouldnt happen on fedora, really) restore old snapshot

the main appeal of this solution is to use copy on write, for snapshots that take less space on disk

lvm and btrfs snapshots will use approximately the same space - both only record changes since x

Oh that's nice, I never really knew/searched about lvm

One more question, to restore the lvm snapshot, Do I need to do that in a chroot from a live cd ?

this all has been possible since 2011

Is it possible to set up snapper on top of LUKS?

One more question, to restore the lvm snapshot, Do I need to do that in a chroot from a live cd ?

Likely. also, be sure to name the lvm something different because else live cant mount it

default is "fedora"

change it to "fedoramine" or "mystuff"

Ok i'm going to try that

Thank you very much :D

Is it possible to set up snapper on top of LUKS?

dont - use lvm.

expectocode: lvm is great

But what if you want it encrypted?

@sadinfpo, a question for you as for programming related person: is using hungarian notation that bad nowadays? D:

Ok i'm going to try that

i even more recommend regular backups and an xfsdump > external media before you do it

But what if you want it encrypted?

Lvm is on top of luks

Drive ^ LUKS v LVM <> xfs

it doesnt care what filesystem is on it even

Why do you say is dead? I see it quite normal...

i even more recommend regular backups and an xfsdump > external media before you do it

That feeling when you need to have a big drive just for backups but can't afforf one. xD

Thank you very much :D

Also! Always keep in mind live snapshots are not something to rely on. the system may still be writing and changing data and it is a really bad idea to restore that usually.

That feeling when you need to have a big drive just for backups but can't afforf one. xD

luckily xfsdump only takes $amount_of_used_space on your disk

luckily xfsdump only takes $amount_of_used_space on your disk

Which is big.

and you can fully 1:1 restore from it

600GB used at /home

Which is big.

if you use 2tb on it tough, yes XD

And I don't have any other disks with amount of 500+ GB.

One 500GB HDD in NAS.

Nothing else.
