Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 42

Update. I am continually updating daily. About 2 weeks this broke both kmail and konqueror, with neither loading. Bug reports have been submitted to KDE, link below.

Otherwise system has been stable and fast with no other major hickups.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 42

Yesterday I tested the installation of F42 on a clean disk with full encryption enabled. The installation went almost perfectly, I had a minor problem with setting up the keyboard. Gnome got up as expected on three monitors, two connected to WX 7100 and one to ASPEED.  Kernel 6.14.0 works fine, SDD is handled extremely fast.

Unfortunately, after upgrading to 6.14.4 and 6.14.5, I can't fire up the machine. The dialog asking for the disk password shows so briefly that I can't manage to enter the password.

Yes perfect thanks, yesterday I looked on github but I hadn't found this part yet. Above all I have to understand how to enter the path each time to make it send the photos I have to display to the screen. It seems that for each new photo I have to write all these lines of code, good work then...

Something like this would give you a starting point: https://github.com/bitristan/libjpeg-sample/tree/master

Hi Classic, thank you for the information, I knew I could count on you. Listen, is there a general procedure or a written code to understand in detail how to write? Always thanks

Yes, with libjpeg. Works pretty much anywhere.

Which checkouts did you run into this on?

Unfortunately, since I'm pretty much a permanent remote worker for the foreseeable future, I'm only on my desktop a few days a month now, so I've been concentrating on what I can do at distance and maintaining a browser isn't one of those things. I will be keeping the patches up for the next ESR but Wasm still doesn't work and it really needs someone else's eyes on it to see what I can't. I'm considering starting from scratch but again it's a time issue.

Chromium's Wasm support does seem OK now, if you can stomach that for the sites you need to use it on.

General Discussion / Re: POWER11, "Cirrus+" Can any of this be substantiated?

I also read something about the production processes of the future Power 11 and I read that they will still use a 7 nanometer even if improved and refined compared to the previous one. Only my question arose spontaneously... Why, in 2025/2026, where the 2 nanometers are getting ready to arrive now and where IBM was also the first to come out with this process years ago, still wants to produce a production process that although I understand it is proprietary ok, in the end IBM customizes all its processes and gives the directives to those who produce them to make them only for it, is now outdated? How come, having this technology first and obviously with more time to perfect it than the others, having arrived first, it does not exploit this advantage and this excellent research and development work at all, to produce its Microprocessors? I honestly can't understand... So much investment money for what I wonder...

Sorry guys, I was trying to insert images in jpg format in a code written in C, but I can't figure out how to do it. I've read various information on the net but nothing that is really useful. I was wondering if it is possible to load images using C as a programming language...

WebAssembly is increasingly being used by online check-outs. This is starting to become a usability issue for me, as I find myself falling back to spare x86 machines to do things like making online purchases.
