Support Fedora 44 fresh install but flatpaks don't open

13 Upvotes

Just installed F44 on an Intel NUC11 (11th Gen i7 Intel iGPU and RTX2060). After the install I updated the system and rebooted. Then I started installing my apps (all flatpaks) from Software Center. However;

  • Floorp -- doesn't open
  • Upscayl -- doesn't open
  • Rapidraw -- doesn't open
  • Curtail -- doesn't open

Those are just for starters, I have no idea which other apps will also not work. Oddly enough, other flatpak apps I installed open just fine (Rustdesk, Constrict, Ente Photos, Lossless Cut, etc.).

I installed Flatseal and enabled every setting for the problem flatpaks but it does not help.

I ran flatpak repair but no dice.

Keep in mind this is a fresh install of Fedora 44 with nothing but updates and the above mentioned flatpaks installed.

I thought maybe something went wonky during the install so I formatted the disk and reinstalled.

Same problems.

Seems strange to me that apps in the App Store don't work.

UPDATE: I formatted yet again, but this time after installing F44 I did not apply any updates, and immediately started installing flatpaks.

Same problem.

Announcement COPR repo for the latest Fish shell

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I created a COPR repository for the latest upstream release of the Fish shell on Fedora. Since the official Fedora repositories are still stuck on Fish v4.6.0.

To bypass missing Rust dependency crates in Fedora, the build uses vendored crates managed by an automated GitHub Actions pipeline.

Installation:

```bash

sudo dnf copr enable crian/fish

sudo dnf install fish

```

Currently building for Fedora 43, 44, 45 and Rawhide. Feel free to test it out!

I have two monitors, but one is old and I see to buy a panoramic monitor...
In Windows, I think you can split the screen into several sections, as if they were separate... Can you do that in Linux?

Discussion What would it take for Fedora to catch up with Windows regarding battery life on laptops?

26 Upvotes

As the title states, I want to use Fedora on my laptop but the battery life was about 20% lower than on windows. Gnome is a joy to use on mobile devices so I'm wondering if optimizing battery life is worth it on the devs end, since manufacturers optimize their chips for windows.

For reference I'm using a strix halo device(ROG Z13 flow), I've tried all the powertdp, tcl, and battery optimization tricks, I believe this is a pain point of fedora overall and would love to hear of some advances in this area.

Since this is Fedora related, might as well try here too.

Discussion Is Fedora 44 KDE limited on Display-resolution?

Thumbnail

46 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently seting up my new PC and are arranging the displays. Before we get to the question at hand:
MB: Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite Wifi 7
Graphic: AMD RX 9070 XT (16GB)
OS: Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma
Display: 1x Samsung LS34H55xG (center) , 2x BENQ GL2450H (left/right), 1x Acer XB280HK (top)

Now the issue:
The top monitor (Acer XB250HK) is not recognized by Fedora as such (seen as "DP-2"). Thus it is set to a resolution of 640x480. I had some issues with this monitor on my previous setup on win 10 several years back, too and put it aside, so I'm wondering if it just may be broken. But I just want to make sure it is not due to some limitations of Fedora KDE Plasma since the GNOME-Version of Fedora 44 already blocked the rearrangement of the displays in its software.

Thanks in advance ;-)

Discussion Opinion needed - go with 45beta (Gnome) or 44 and full upgrade later with new release.

25 Upvotes

I've decided to finally pull the plug on my daily driver Win laptop that comes with Lunar Lake Intel ultra chips, 258V in my case and Intel wireless module on Asus ZenBook.

I've been running 45 beta for the last three days off the live stick without rebooting with only minor annoyances (Gnome extension mostly and CPU on battery dropping to lowest Mhz after sleep occasionally, which might be kernel issue) - it passed prolonged sleep test, runs fairly cool and is quite power efficient, I get better hours than on Win, about 4h more.

I'm new to Fedora in particular, but not to Linux in general. So far really enjoying the super snappy performance.

What would you do, based on your experience with Fedora betas? Go for stable or risk it?

I will technically have all my important stuff on external drive, so, reinstall would be one evening job anyway.

Thank you in advance!

Discussion Fedora Server 44 issues on Pingvin Share working with Cloudflare domain

6 Upvotes

I've installed Pingvin Share on my server and I've inserted my Cloudflare domain at APP URL and the app has stopped working. I've tried to configure it with my machine adress and port. I've tried to configure it using Nginx.

Configurering a tunnel through Cloudflare didn't worked, because it didn't wanted to install the rpm.

And now I cannot connect to my Pingvin pod at all.

Support Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (83HN): dead "Digital Microphone" fix

0 Upvotes

Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (83HN): dead "Digital Microphone" + Brave/Chrome can't see the working mic, fix

Hardware: Yoga Pro 7 14ASP9 (83HN), Ryzen AI 9 365, Realtek ALC287 Tested on: Fedora 44, kernel 7.2.9, PipeWire/WirePlumber 1.6.10, KDE Plasma 6.7

Symptoms

  • Two internal mics show up: "Digital Microphone" (Mic1) and "Stereo Microphone" (Mic3)
  • Mic1 is dead. Apps open it and record silence
  • The system keeps picking Mic1 as the default, because the UCM profile (/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/HDA/HiFi-acp.conf) gives it priority 100. Raising Mic3's priority or using wpctl set-default doesn't stick
  • Discord and Zoom work if you pick "Stereo Microphone" manually, but Brave/Chrome don't list it at all (NotFoundError: Requested device not found)

Fix: two config files in your home folder, no system files edited

1. Disable the dead mic. Check the name first with pactl list sources short, then save as ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/52-disable-dmic.conf:

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      { node.name = "alsa_input.pci-0000_62_00.6.HiFi__Mic1__source" }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.disabled = true
      }
    }
  }
]

2. Create a virtual mic on top of the working one so Chromium-based browsers accept it. Save as ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/60-laptop-mic.conf:

context.modules = [
  {
    name = libpipewire-module-loopback
    args = {
      node.description = "Laptop Mic"
      audio.position = [ FL FR ]
      capture.props = {
        node.name = "laptop_mic_capture"
        target.object = "alsa_input.pci-0000_62_00.6.HiFi__Mic3__source"
        node.passive = true
      }
      playback.props = {
        node.name = "laptop_mic"
        media.class = "Audio/Source"
        priority.session = 3000
      }
    }
  }
]

priority.session = 3000 makes it the default automatically, and node.passive = true means the real mic only opens while something is recording.

3. Restart audio and your browser:

systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber

"Laptop Mic" should now be the default and work everywhere, including Brave.

Optional: if new audio streams start too loud or clip, save this as ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/99-default-volume.conf to start them at 95%:

wireplumber.settings = {
  node.stream.default-volume = 0.95
}

Notes

  • Device names may differ on your machine, or change after a kernel/UCM update. If the mic goes silent, recheck with pactl list sources short and update both files.
  • If wpctl status suddenly shows no devices after a system update, check that the pipewire and wireplumber versions match in its client list. A partial update can make wpctl misreport, and a reboot fixes it.
  • Don't edit the system UCM files. Updates overwrite them, and with Mic1 disabled they don't matter anyway.

Why Chromium rejects the raw Mic3 device is still unknown. If anyone figures it out, please reply.

Support Rearrange second monitor

Hi
I have a Dell Precision 7680 with fedora 44. I'm trying to use a second monitor with it and I'm having some difficulty with rearranging the monitor. When I plug in the monitor it defaults to the right of the laptop screen. If I rearrange it and put it on the left side and hit apply, Fedora logs out and I have to log in again and the second monitor is back on the right side of the laptop monitor. Anyone knows what's going on and how to fix it?

Discussion FIRST LINUX EXPERIENCE AND THOUGHTS

Thumbnail

251 Upvotes

Hey guys 👋👋

Its been a week since I fully transferred to my one and only laptop into Linux , and honestly I'm glad to do so. The experience is too good,

Also im just shocked how ram usage is usually 20-40% and CPU usually 0-5%. I would have never gotten this much responsiveness and smoothness in windows. ( considering that I don't have a dedicated GPU and only 16gb ddr4 ram, i7 11th gen CPU )

But one thing that bugs me is Sometime when I try to find something and when I see every one is using arch Linux, I think about trying to switch, the stability and fear of breaking my one and only PC keep me in fedora workstation.

also i want to make my terminal look like glass sheet, just like those YouTube videos have in their arch Linux. i have tried but couldn't find it....

I would love to have your suggestions, improvement and criticism about my setup, plz throw anything you have in your mind and help me.

Bei mir braucht Fedora um Software herunterzuladen und sie installieren 3x so lange wie auf anderen Distributionen.

Ist das normal?

Und kann man das irgendwie verschnellern?

Danke für die Tipps.
