Cripes!  What a *LONG* page to describe how to use a GUI installer that
ought to self-describe.

There is usually an install-to-hard-disk icon someplace on the livecd desktop.

Did you install patent restricted packages from rpmfusion.org?  I
think avi is patent encumbered, so can't be included in fedora.

Is your old profile for firefox present in .mozilla in your home
directory?  It should be if you didn't change home.  If your old
firefox profile in .mozilla is gone, your tabs are gone.  If you have a
backup, you might be able to copy the profile over and restore them.
It doesn't sound like the profile is gone, since firefox tried to open
the tabs, but wasn't successful.  If they were really gone, I don't
think there would even be blank tabs opening.  Firefox is aware of
them, but for some reason can't reach the web to instantiate them. Is
it possible that your dns lookup isn't working?

If the old profile is there in .mozilla and you keep history (deleting
history on close isn't turned on in settings), you have a couple of
alternatives.

If they aren't older, you can just use history->'recently closed tabs'
to click on them and they will open in new tabs

If they are older, you can go to history->'show all history' and see
all the tabs you previously had open by date.  This isn't as convenient
because you will have to alt-tab to open a new tab, Ctrl-t, in the
browser, then alt-tab to the history window to select a url to open
and hit enter. The history item you have selected will then open in the
new tab in your browser. Rinse and repeat. There might be a better way
to do that from 'show all history', one that works more like 'recently
closed tabs', but I'm not aware of it if there is.  Probably a setting
in about:config, if it exists.

Your sda5 is likely the issue.

Anaconda ignores all disks with an iso9660 filesystem on it.  Probably so they 
don?t get included when booted from a USB device with the LiveCD ISO dd?d to it.


That was it!!
Well and truly amazed am I.
Bizarre that is.
Booting an installer from a hard disk partition used to work,
at least sometimes.
Where do I go to complain about this?
At the very least, it should be documented,
instead of leaving the victim with a mystery to solve.
For that matter, how did you find out?

I have other issues now,
but they should go into another thread.

What cannot find your home directory? The Live ISO, or the installed
system? And what does your home directory have to do with things?

I find Anaconda's user interface for selecting the install partition
clumsy at best. It should be redesigned. With that said, here's how to
select a drive to install the OS:
.
The Fedora 38 manual is incomplete, and you have to use an earlier
version of the manual.

So a fix ls likely to appear soon.

I thought it would be interesting to see what happens when Firefox is
invoked. There is nothing promising in the Firefox box on the panel and
the only promising entry in the Firefox entry in the Application
Launcher is in the drop down box in 
   Application Launcher->Internet->Firefox->(Right Click)
This is "Open the Profile Manager", so I invoked this. Result another
similar crash. A log is attached; perhaps someone will find it useful.

It seems odd to me that there is no easy way to see what is supposed to
happen when a desktop item is invoked in a particular way. I would think
an entry for a Right-Click on any such item should be something like
"System Action" or whatever.

You might find it a bit hidden in the SATA settings: At least here, on

But I read that sometimes a "VMD setup menu" can be found in BIOS

anything about this, but switching it off seems to help an

Re: Firefox crashes when started from the panel

[Alex Gurenko via users]

There is been a lot of discussion already that resulted in several BZs [0][1] 
opened and worked on. Generally caused by relatively recent change [2].

Quick workaround is to comment out or remove this line:

`DBusActivatable=true`

from

`/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop`

I hope that helps.

It sounds like there isn't a problem with firefox, per se.  If it
starts fine with two out of three methods, it is the invocation that is
causing the problem.  I'm not sure what starting from the panel is, but
can you get to the actual command being run when you do that?  Then
compare it to what you run from the console or application launcher.
Can you alter the panel version to run with firefox --safe-mode, so
that it starts without any add-ons.  Maybe try with a different user;
create a new user [1] and start firefox from the panel with that new
user and a pristine /home directory.  Success with the new user will
indicate that there is something in your /home directory
configuration that is causing the problem.  Failure, a KDE panel
problem, and probably time for a bugzilla.

1. See  man useradd  for how to add a new user.  You should be able to
switch to that new user from the greeter.

Perusing the BIOS did not show me AHCI or IDE mode.


You could also try installing it from the livecd, I have not done an

to hard disk type installs.


That is what I thought I was doing.
The image on the DVD is named
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso .
Navigating fedora websites is so much fun.
'Twouldn't surprise me if I missed something.

What is a livecd to hard disk type install?

They seem to be the same.

I'll try to check the BIOS.

In the man pages for scrcpy, the  key is the  key.

Here are the instructions that I used to get scrcpy working for me.  I
don't know how clear they will be to someone who hasn't already done
this, since I can't re experience that, but I tried to make them
simple.  I really like using the phone this way, better than directly,
actually.

These are the instructions for how to connect a phone to the desktop
using a USB cable.  It is possible to do this via pairing over TCPIP if
both your computer and your phone have access to the same wireless
network. I don't have wireless on my desktop, so didn't investigate
this as I had to use the USB cable technique.  If you do use the TCPIP
method, you might be able to use KDE-connect instead of scpcpy to
access the phone.

First, prepare the desktop.  These are done as the root user, or with
sudo. 
Install the android tools to get adb, the android debug tool
dnf install android-tools
Get an enhanced wrapper for the adb program, not necessary, but
easier to use than the raw adb.
dnf install adb-enhanced
Install scrcpy from the fedora copr repository
dnf copr enable zeno/scrcpy && dnf install scrcpy
Add the adb group to /etc/group
groupadd -U [your username] plugdev
Create a udev rule that gives permission to access the usb device
that is your phone.
Run
lsusb
and then look for your phone as a device.  Below is dummy sample,
not a phone.
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    
These are the numbers you want.  Put them in a file called (51 is
arbitrary) 
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
using a line as follows:
ATTR{idVendor}=="1d6b", ATTR{idProduct}=="0002", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev
  
Replace the two numbers with the numbers for your phone when it is
connected to the USB port.

Once you have done this, you will have to log out and log in again as
your user, or reboot the computer to pick up the changes to the group.  
You might be able to pick up the new udev rule by
unplugging and plugging the USB cable into the phone.
Or, I didn't try this, but 
systemctl restart systemd-udevd

If, as your user, you run 
adb devices
or 
adbe devices
at this point it will give you a permissions error for the phone,
though it will be able to find it.

Now prepare the phone, so it can be recognized, all done as you on the
phone. Find the build date in settings, and tap on it until it says you
have developer privileges. Then enter the developer menu and turn on
USB access. I'm not giving detailed instructions on where to find these
because it varies by phone.  Mine were in about phone or system from
settings. Find the USB debug menu item and turn it on.
FInd the USB mode menu item and set it to file transfer / mtp.
The phone is now ready.
If you type 
adb devices
or 
adbe devices
as your user, not root, it will now recognize the phone.  
You are ready to run scrcpy, as your user, not root.
scrcpy
will bring up a dialog on your phone asking you for permission to run
the adb server on the phone.  If you tap OK on the phone, it will bring
up an image of your phone screen on your desktop. This is one of the
benefits of running scrcpy; it will install a compatible server on your
phone for the client that it is using. Avoids error messages saying the
server and client version do not match. You can now use your phone with
your mouse, clicking to tap, and swiping the mouse cursor to swipe the
phone. Make and receive calls, and send and receive texts.  I think it
is possible to use your desktop keyboard to type messages, but I
haven't tried that yet.  You can probably surf the web from your phone
as well, but why surf with your phone when you can surf with your
desktop?  I didn't try it, but it seems you can play games from your
phone on your desktop, as well.  In other words, you can use the
functionality of your phone from your desktop.  You can use man scrcpy
to find the commands, and keyboard shortcuts, when using scrcpy on your
phone.

If you exit scrcpy, you can still use adb or adbe to perform a lot of
tasks on your phone directly with adb.  Like removing and installing
apps, transferring files both ways, backing it up, cleaning up bloat.
The technastic link below has a list of adb commands.
If you run 
abde
without any command, it will print a list of all the commands that are
available in adbe.

Some of the pages I used to glean the above information.  If you want
to go deeper, or use the TCPIP method, these might be of assistance.

Your sda5 is likely the issue.

Anaconda ignores all disks with an iso9660 filesystem on it.  Probably so they 
don’t get included when booted from a USB device with the LiveCD ISO dd’d to it.

Firefox crashes when started from the panel

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

After the latest upgrade to Fedora, when Firefox is started from the
panel, the screen goes dark, and then refreshes itself; Firefox does not
start. Firefox appears to start perfectly when run from the console or
from the application launcher. I have attached a fragment of the system
log showing activity immediately before and after Firefox was started
(Journal.txt)

Any ideas how to investigate.
