User Zone / Re: Fedora Linux Thread

« on: February 08, 2020, 04:31:39 am »

Hi guys, I don't know if you have noticed but I think so now, after the latest Fedora updates, a nice bug has come out in the application that manages the software, the Fedora software market. It no longer displays the images of the applications and what is worse no longer lets you manage them, by selecting updates or installed, the wait turns endlessly ... Has someone managed to report this anomaly by chance already?

User Zone / Re: Working xorg.conf for nouveau driver for a NVIDIA graphics card?

« on: February 04, 2020, 01:29:43 am »

The Xorg.conf file is very precise and as soon as you make a mistake, it doesn't work and it no longer loads the GUI until you delete it and report the situation as it was originally. I also had a bit of trouble putting the right syntax, then luckily the MPC user gave me a tip and I did it ... The examples that are reported on Wiki in general are on AMD GPUs, if not answers no one tries to ask Raptor support directly, only they can give you a hand in this sense. Unfortunately, Nvidia GPUs have proprietary drivers and are used very little by the Power community, we use almost all AMD so it is not easy to find information on using NVdia on Power ... Raptor runs the 2070 on Power, see if they know something about the your card ...

Guys I finally decided to reinstall everything and do manual partitioning. At the beginning above all, the lack of total experience on Linux made me lean towards the automatic installation wizard but as we have seen well, on the Directory "/" it only takes 16GB which are not enough! In the manual installation I decided to put 110 GB on 232 available on the SSD unit that I mounted. Another 115 on Home and the rest on Swap. The break is obviously that I have to reinstall everything now, but nevertheless ... I had tried with the LVM management, I had found a guide to increase the capacity of "/" but although it told me that the partition increased, when I then did the check, I always gave the same 16GB ... I did not understand why ... In any case I preferred to do so ... Thanks always for your valuable advice!

yes sdb2 is the largest partition where there are 9.5 GB of data between apps and more ... now I'm trying a procedure that should extend the root, it tells me that the operation was successful but when I check the root it is always 15 GB it's absurd I don't understand ... I had put 50 GB first and then another 30 ... nothing is wrong I can't understand ...

currently the situation is this, as you can see I have 99% full root and therefore I have to increase a lot, while I have to resize / Dev / sdb2 which has 367 GB and uses only 9.5 ... how do I therefore remove from Dev / sdb2 and add in root ?

the disk utility is located exactly where it is on Ubuntu and therefore Debian. The problem is that I currently have the largest partition that I should resize to make room for the file system but it does not allow me to resize I don't understand why ... The partition is 249 GB and I would have the possibility of reduce it but it won't make me do it ... Why?

yes of course there are few, I would like to expand the partition, if I have not understood correctly I must first disassemble, then I should be able to modify and then finished resizing it will have to be reassembled I think ... am I right?

now that I see everything I don't think I can recover much space in the end, I need to increase the partition as you say, I just don't know how to do it. Trying from the disk management and doing partition redesign, I tried to set up a larger amount of space but it doesn't make me do it, can you tell me how to proceed without doing damage? Thank you

I understand, so I have to increase the root partition ... I made the automatic installation not practical and therefore I made him do everything I did not know that by default he uses 16 GB and instead need many more ... But apart from this, how do you think I can free up some space in those 16 GB? It's possible?

I rectify the previous message sorry, the directory concerned is that of the photo, "/" I removed the old kernel but I gained little. How free is that directory? Yes, I don't have much experience on Linux. I started a few months ago. I use Fedora with 16 GB of RAM and in this case a 250 GB SSD hard disk. I'll post the photo of the analysis

He talks to me about "root file system" in general almost full file system. In the analyzer I saw that the "USR" Directory is the one in red and therefore the main suspect. On Kernels you are right, in the past I have done the removal, I have to do it again now, but apart from the kernel I wanted to understand what else I can eliminate and how ...

Hello to the whole forum, after a period of use, I think we all have the classic problem of filling the "root file" on Linux and the consequent appearance of the famous message that this file must be freed. What do you recommend to do it best? I have read some guides on the internet but they have not helped me much, apart from the classic cleaning of the browser cache I do not know how to proceed to do the cleaning that the system would like ... Obviously I am not referring only to the root file but in general to the whole system, what should be done to clean everything obviously ... I also tried the "street sweeper" application but it doesn't work ...

Hello everyone, great advice thanks, Tim (mandscientist159) in the end you took the 5700 XT as well, what do you think? I have just withdrawn the new monitor as well, full 4K support, a really nice sight. I'm also testing high definition videos on YouTube. Show! You are right to say that I have to test my high-end system, but I am missing a piece to complete the start of the AE-9 which unfortunately still does not seem to be on Linux ...

VLC works quite well however, of course some discs do not read them in any case, unfortunately, especially the most recent ones, I am always talking about original material and regularly purchased in stores. I hope that updates will gradually come out to improve the situation.
