[Please don't top-post on the Fedora lists. See the Guidelines
referenced at the end of every message]

As long as you use yum (or yumex) you shouldn't do any harm. Just take a
quick look over the proposed changes before confirming.

That doesn't do any "harm", it just means that if you want to switch
back to MATE, you will have to reinstall it (yum groupinstall "MATE
Desktop")

Unless you are super tight on disk space, there is no need to remove one
desktop environment to use another. The advantage of keeping more than
one is that you can easily switch back if it turns out you like the old
one better.

# yum groupinstall "XFCE Desktop"
# yum groupinstall "LXDE Desktop"

Once you have installed the desktop environment(s) you want, when you
get to the graphical login screen, and click on your user, before
entering the password you should have an opportunity to choose which
desktop environment you want to log in to.

And when trying to scroll on other websites, what happens?  I mention
this, because Facebook is one of those sites with lots of content
shovelled into a page, with lots of page layout styling applied to that
content.  Throw in scripting and advertising, and it makes for a
difficult-to-do-quickly webpage.

Also, and I haven't seen any other message address this, have you turned
off the "smooth scrolling" feature of Firefox?  It deliberately slows
down scrolling of pages, to try and do it in a smoother fashion.  I find
it horrendous, as my reading speed is much faster than it wants to
scroll pages at (I'm not talking about reading the whole page verbatim,
I'm talking about skimming through to find the content that I'm
interested in, I'm not /that/ much of a speed reader).

Maybe put RAWHIDE under its own section saying if you have the ROLLING
RELEASE then enable this repo or something like that

1.1 if you use F19 then :
www.xxx.com

1.2 If you use F20
www..com

1.3 if you use Rawhide ( rolling release) then
www.xxx.com

What I'm trying to figure out is this

On the RPMfusion website it states. 

"just click on one of the following files, **depending on what distribution you 
use** and then follow the default options"

So, considering the phrase "depending on what distribution you use", what made 
you think you should install the rawhide repo?  What can be done to make the 
instructions more clear to avoid others making the same mistake in the future?

Ok wait... this is interesting... it does the unresponsive scroll when
initially loaded but if I click on the page it scrolls fine without
pausing which is weird.

Well I clicked on rawhide thinking I was suppose to click on all of them
but when it came to rawhide it downloaded it but then popped up in red a
dependency error saying resolution not supported or something like that.
I just hit X but the Fedora 20 one installed fine

No I didnt do 19.. Just 20 and Rawhide... but Rawhide failed.

Are you saying you "installed"

RPM Fusion free for Fedora 19
RPM Fusion free for Fedora 20
RPM Fusion free for Fedora Rawhide

and

RPM Fusion nonfree for Fedora 19
RPM Fusion nonfree for Fedora 20
RPM Fusion nonfree for Fedora Rawhide

Due to there being "Fedora" in the names?


Also, is your scrolling now fixed?

Since you seem to be new to Fedora you may want to avoid Rawhide. That's
really bleeding edge and is not a subject for this list (see the Fedora
Test list if you really want to try unreleased versions). And unless
you're into Fedora Rawhide there's no point enabling the RPMfusion
Rawhide repo.

I'd also recommend avoiding the Unstable repos for the same reason. Most
of the stuff there gets into Stable after a while (Rawhide too but it
takes a lot longer).

Fedora doesn't ship with, or support the nVidia drivers.  They only supply the opensouce 
nouveau driver for nVidia hardware.   Assuming you do have nVidia hardware you should see 
the nouveau driver module loaded when you consult the output of "lsmod".

There are several ways to install the proprietary nVidia drivers.  I prefer the 
RPMfusion method.

You'd go to  http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and follow the instructions for 
enabling the RPMfusion Free and Non-Free repositories.

Then

yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia kmod-nvidia

Should be sufficient.



Make sure firstly that you have a nvidia video card.
If so then the above is how I have done the install.

ok went to the rpm fusion site... when doing the RAWHIDE one I clicked
it put in my password then this came up in red.. now what?

I guess I was only suppose to click on F20 not Rawhide?

oh crud I google it before I checked my email and googled nvidia
drivers... this page came up

http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/


I had one problem and thats at 3.1  said it didnt exist

3.2 the make font... something about not being a valid font

but at boot I saw the NVIDIA logo before the log on screen came up.

I think I am fixing to do section 4... return the pc back to Neou.
driver and do that rpm fusion.

Re: Fedora Scrolling Lag

Fresh Install of Fedora 20 installed last night.

When browsing Facebook and I use the mouse wheel to scroll down, Firefox
pauses before it jumps down ( meaning it pauses for a few sec before it
finally gets the command that I scrolled down and the page finally goes
down)

I am using Fedora 20 Mate

2 gigs of ram

custom built pc

250 gig Hardrive

Installed last night full format since I was coming from Kubuntu

Only programs open Evolution and Firefox

Memory Usage currently: 357.2 MB ( 17.7 % )

Swap: 0 of 2 gigs

fully updated last night ( and fresh update of 384 patches was
slowww I had to let it run overnight on my 12 down 1 up sat
connection)


Thanks,
Christopher


I don't know about Fedora 20 but I had the same with Fedora 19 using the 
nouveau video driver which was very glunky and delayed in scrolling. I 
installed the nvidia driver for my systems and the problem went away.
