Re: WSL

2022-04-05 Thread Kevin Becker
At some point a few years ago I paid for Whitewater Foundry's Fedora
Remix for WSL.  It worked reasonably well and I don't recall any
particular issues with it but for my purposes, if I'm using WSL, it
seems preferable to "go with the flow" and use ubuntu as that seems to
be what the WSL crew expect people to be using.

Assuming you're not actually on the live boot, when you are at the login 
screen, click on your user.  Then before you enter your password, there 
should be a gear icon somewhere.  Click on it and choose a different 
session.  It should be pretty clear.  One might say wayland or one might 
say Xorg.  Either choose the X(org) one or the one that isn't wayland.

I'm also getting weird behavior from the video player.
It'll claim unable to play for want of a MPEG4-4 AAC decoder.
From cancel/find in software , I pick cancel.
I can then play the video.

So sorry to suddenly wake up on this thread, but is cron going away. I use it

No, that just lists the available modes of the monitor.  I was trying to 
check if the EDID was working properly.


Another way that might work with secure boot enabled is to use "decode-edid" 
instead.  Install it, then run "find /sys -name edid".  On my system, that 
gives me:

/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:08.1/:05:00.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:08.1/:05:00.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-2/edid
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:08.1/:05:00.0/drm/card0/card0-DP-1/edid

My monitor is connected to "HDMI-A-2".  If you don't know which one, then 
just cat each one until you get a bunch of garbage on the terminal.  Then run 
the following, but replace with the right path.


edid-decode < 
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:08.1/:05:00.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-2/edid


I'll get to it.
At the moment, I'm distracted by other things:
an unmet need for food and drink,
a horde of dnf -y installs of F35 versions of my F33 packages and
a black window that appears when I try to use gvim.

Any suggestions regarding that last?

You need to edit that, but that's not enough.  You need to also either 
edit the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to change the "kernelopts" line or run

Why not try it out? What is stopping you?

The only thing I would add to you reading list if the man page for systemd.timer

I would start with a timer service that uses /bin/echo that you can use to see 
that the timer service runs when you expect.

convert crontab jobs to systemd timers

2022-04-05 Thread olivares33561 via users
Dear kind Fedora users,

I have a crontab file that I use to play some files about 3 minutes before bell 
rings between classes.  I had to install anacron with dnf command.  I have seen 
emails where some folks recommend systemd timers.  How can I convert a crontab
#
[olivares@fedora Downloads]$ crontab -l
# min  hour day-of-month month day-of-week command
# 0-59 0-231-311-12  0-6 0=sun 1=mon
#50 04 * * 1-5 ~/.xalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
#50 04 * * 0,6 ~/.salarm >/dev/null 2>&1
#59 09 * * 0,6 ~/.salarm >/dev/null 2>&1
#00 07 * * 1-5 ~/.xalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
42 08 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
52 09 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
40 10 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
28 11 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
16 12 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
57 12 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
40 14 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
28 15 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
17 16 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1
#30 16 * * 1-5 ~/.lalarm > /dev/null 2>&1
25 16 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/poweroff >/dev/null 2>&1

#
to systemd timers?  An easy idiot proof way.  The .dalarm script calls mplayer 
and plays from a playlist.

#
[olivares@fedora Downloads]$ sudo systemctl list-timers

7 timers listed.
Pass --all to see loaded but inactive timers, too.
#

I have read https://opensource.com/article/20/7/systemd-timers
and
https://www.maketecheasier.com/use-systemd-timers-as-cron-replacement/

but have not tried it out.  Any help on this is appreciated.  I want to test it 
out.  Thank you in advance

Antonio

Rebooting without nomodeset did the trick.

Any idea why I got a permission denied error?

Now I just need to move /var and /home to partitions.


'Tis done.
It seems to work, but gnome's activities mechanism is jerky.
Also 'twould be nice to not have to remove nomodeset by hand each time.
What file do I edit to make it permanant?

BTW getting rid of nomodeset also worked for
the basic graphics mode of the installer.
Had I known that, I could have saved myself a lot of trouble.


Thanks much.
My recollection is that I had a much harder time installing F33.

640 x 480 is bad enough on terminals.
On web sites, it's a bit of a horror.

My recollection is that I had resolution problems 
with F33,

The Nighthawk also provides a wifi access point.

At that point the Nighthawk would be just another switch, which doesn't

It's helpful because he needed more wireless coverage.  At least that 
was my understanding.  The BGW210 is already doing NAT, so there's no 
further security (and much complication) to be gained with a second NAT. 
 If he doesn't need the extra wifi, then the Nighthawk is redundant.
