Just a few questions from a beginner...

So I just got on Fedora and pretty much have "setteled in" but I'm still not sure about few things.

- How to best utilize the terminal?
I don't quite know what to use it for or how I should use it.

- How do I download stuff?
I've downloaded things like steam and spotify but they were either luck or guides I really didn't learn anything from.
And more spesifically I'd like to get fl studio but I don't know how.

- Is there a way I can get shortcuts like ctrl + v/c/x back?
My muscle memory keeps doing it with my keyboard.

Ideas to make the Terminal even better?

I'm exploring Terminal emulators that supports plugins so I can implement some custom features. I have a few features in mind and wanted to brainstorm a bit on what other features could make a Terminal really awesome.

Some ideas I'm exploring:

  1. Change background color based on the SSH server I'm connecting to. I could have a predefined list of servers as staging, production, etc. and if I connect via SSH to one of these servers, the background should automatically change.

  2. AI Assistant - There are some already but these are applications that need to be installed on every system. Instead, I am looking to implement this as a Terminal plugin so it does not matter which server I SSH into. It basically parses text from the Vte object underneat for some context, and then takes my prompt to generate a command, and then types the command for me to decide whether I want to run it or not.

  3. Select from a list of Ansible playbooks. Very often I might spin up a VM, and the first thing I do is SSH into it and install some packages. So I thought, won't it be nice if I could just right click on the Terminal, choose an Ansible playbook and have it execute more complex tasks?

What ideas do you have to make the terminal more featureful?

quick action button for enabling mobile network (simcard) not showing up after laptop wakes up from standby

easy problem, but cant seem to figure out a solution.

my laptop has a simcard for internet, and in fedora 41 there is this quick action menu in the top right. if i start the laptop there is no button to enable mobile broadband, i need to head into settings, and press the button there to enable the adapter. after that, the button shows up! i can press on it to deactivate it, activate it again. no problem.

but when i go into standby or restart the laptop, the button is gone again!

i dont want to auto-enable the mobile internet, i just want the button to be there, so i can simply press it!

do you have a solution for that?

"Ptyxis notifications missing in Zsh (after command execution)"

In Fedora 41, the new terminal Ptyxis is absolutely fantastic! However, after switching from Bash to Zsh (with Powerlevel10k), I noticed that I lost the notification feature of Ptyxis when a command finishes execution.

Does anyone know how to enable this notification feature in Zsh? It’s incredibly useful, as it saves me from constantly checking if a command has completed.

Thanks in advance!

Bambu Studio crashes immediately after launch

So I know there are plenty of threads about this issue already, however, none of them have helped me solve mine. Bambu Studio will work perfectly after a fresh install as long as I don't select my "off-brand" printer. After I select it, BS will crash immediately and will forever thereafter crash immediately after launch.

I've tried the typical libwebkit installs to no avail. Dmesg shows libwebkit is the issue. I tried older releases and they all behave the same way. I tried Orca and it won't ever launch even after fresh install.

Any more ideas? I'm all out.

Problem with NVIDIA drivers.

Hello everyone. I apologize in advance for my bad English. But I have a question about drivers for old Nvidia video cards.

The first question is that after the first installation, I get the NVCF driver. Since I did not find specific information about it, I would like to ask here. Is there any point in installing something to replace it?

And the second question is that after installing the driver, in my case it is 390xx. Then when the system boots, I get a black screen. How can I fix this?

I am using Fedora 41 Workstation with a GTS 450 video card. Thank you in advance for your answers.

libvirt "net-start default" fail with address already in use, but "ip address" doesn't show such address

[SOLVED]

TL;DR

libvirt net-start default fail after installing pi-hole, dnsmasq report address already in use but none listed in "ip address".

Hello everyone!

I have F40 Server Edition with libvirt and pi-hole. 2 instances of VM has been created and working fine before I installed pi-hole. After installing pi-hole and restart, VM won't fire up, and spit out error that the "default network" is not initiated.

I tried sudo virsh net-start default and the error is:

dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.122.1: Address already in use

the IP in question doesn't show

#ip address
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
   link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

   inet6 fe80::7dfe:2118:3143:7bd0/64 scope link noprefixroute  
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever127.0.0.1/8

I also check Pi-hole setting files at /etc/pihole/* and found no traces that it uses 122.1. I also search for Pi-hole documentation regarding dnsmasq but unfortunately unable to find one related to my problem, or maybe I overlooked it.

appreciate any help or direction to the right documentation! Thanks.

How do I configure Fastfetch?

I installed neofetch on another device and started tweaking with the config files and thought I would do the same thing with Fedora. I installed Fastfetch, but where are the files for it? I can't the config.conf file in bash folder and the default Gnome file manager doesn't even have a root folder. Am i stupid?

2 finger swipe gestures on wayland

I want to switch from x11 to wayland but I couldn't find an alternative to my 2 finger gestures setup using syngestures.

libinput-gestures, wzmach and any other software I found is using libinput and thereby is limited to a minimum of 3 fingers per swipe. I believe libinput interprets 2 fingers as scrolling and by that is unable to recognize the gesture.

did anybody find a workaround ?

Suddenly external monitor is missing

I use F41 with LXDE. Under Preferences --> Monitor Settings there always was a second HDMI monitor that I could use from my laptop. Today I boot and I can't get it, there is only line for the laptop display. Is there some "rescan" or "find monitors" function?

Digital Microscope

Hello guys, I'm switching to Linux and i would really not dual boot but the thing is i do phone repairs and i use a lot this digital microscope i linked. It uses the software i screenshotted but the one i really need is Vimicrocam that makes it display on the pc.

Would it work with some other Linux cam software? I get no image on VLC, the Windows cam and OBS. Ive managed to get image only using AMcap.

The device is called H1600 cam in all of them, if it helps.
Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

USB-DAC makes a pop sound when no sound is played, and does the same when any sound is played in the computer.

I have a Fiio K3 USB-DAC that makes a pop sound when doesn't receive any sound (after a few seconds) and then makes it again when i play music, system sounds, whatever.

This issue exists in Windows too, but can be solved by changing the "Streaming" option to "Always on" (By default is in "On when needed"...

I've tried using TPL to prevent this usb device to suspend itself, but didn't work

Any ideas

Hep me enable stem darkening for all fonts by default except those that match a pattern!

A screenshot that shows Visual Studio Code with icons. These icons are too thick because of the stem darkening, but the non-icon fonts have good results.

Like many I'm using the Freetype2 option called Stem Darkening:

no-stem-darkening

All glyphs that pass through the auto-hinter will be emboldened unless this property is set to TRUE. The same is true for the CFF, Type 1, and CID font modules if the ‘Adobe’ engine is selected (which is the default).

Stem darkening emboldens glyphs at smaller sizes to make them more readable on common low-DPI screens when using linear alpha blending and gamma correction, see FT_Render_Glyph. When not using linear alpha blending and gamma correction, glyphs will appear heavy and fuzzy!

[ ... ]

For the auto-hinter, stem-darkening is experimental currently and thus switched off by default (that is, no-stem-darkening is set to TRUE by default). Total consistency with the CFF driver is not achieved right now because the emboldening method differs and glyphs must be scaled down on the Y-axis to keep outline points inside their precomputed blue zones. The smaller the size (especially 9ppem and down), the higher the loss of emboldening versus the CFF driver.no-stem-darkening.

Source: https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-properties.html#no-stem-darkening

This is accomplished by modifying `/etc/environment` or similar to include:

FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0"

This produces the results you see in the screenshot. On the left (in red) is with this configuration enabled, and you can see the text is thicker. However, this also includes the icons. Many icons are too thick, but also some icons have been degraded such as the 4th icon down.

Overall it would be ideal to control this setting and apply it to all fonts except those that are likely icon families. My plan here was to leverage fontconfig and match against those with "Icon" in their name.

In theory, that would yield an XML file like this:

https://gist.github.com/krisives/5ab6ff4d8abcdf338f24ba49f6821b30

However, it appears that there is no way to set this specific of a Freetype setting from within fontconfig? Sure, we can control the hinter and a few other things, but this setting is pretty specific.

Do any fontconfig gurus know how to create such a rule? Is there a different system that can be used to accomplish this? Do fontconfig gurus even exist? 🤔

KDE Plasma is awesome! This is my favorite customized desktop layout yet.

I really hope Fedora actually moves forward with making the KDE spin an official Edition instead of just a spin. I've used basically all the major desktop environments, and KDE is second to none. The customization options are great and all the bugs and kwin crashes of the past have been fixed.
