I was using Fedora 40 and all of a sudden it stopped working, it takes me to a selection screen where there is fedora 39(i originally installed that version the it was upgraded) i select it it says booting and then a black screen, i had also zorin in another hard drive and the same happens, i tried booting from bare metal with a usb and the same happens but it takes me to a prompt that says boot: and i can write stuff.

 

I'm trying to import video files but it won't let me, I've tried both with the Flatpak version and the RPM version and I can't get KDEnlive to let me import video files. Below I have information about my system, any ideas?

Help with HDD (lemmy.ml)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I have a 4TB HDD that I use to store music, films, images, and text files. I have a 250GB SDD that I use to install my OS and video games. So far I didn't have any problem with this setup, obviously it's a bit slower when it reads the HDD but nothing too serious, but lately it's gotten way worse, where it just lags too much when I try to access files on that disk, and specially when it comes to listening to music, it's super annoying. I'm using Elisa music player and it just takes ages to load the albums.

Below is my system and HDD information. I think I'm supposed to use hardlinks or something to access those files, could that be a reason? I've never even fully filled my HDD and it's only 3 years old.

You still need a terminal emulator capable of displaying images, though, right? Like Kitty, Allacrity won't do the trick.

 

So, yesterday I was trying to install Fedora on a PC with an Nvidia graphics card, it is a bit old and it has an Intel CPU. Basically as soon as I booted the USB it went all weird like if it would be having a graphical glitch like going all rainbow in some parts and stop responding, I tried a few more times under a UEFI secure boot or something like that, and it kind of worked but only in a very small resolution and nothing had animations and so on. This was connected to a monitor via VGA.

Then I said, well, maybe it's a Fedora thing, so I installed elementaryOS and moved the PC to other place where I have another monitor that has HDMI support, I installed it while being connected to that and I had no problem, so I thought, well, it must have been a Fedora thing. I moved the PC to the other place where it was going to be used, connected it to the VGA monitor and the same glitchy thing happened, even though everything was already installed. Mind you that Windows was being used before and it was connected through that same VGA port.

What can be causing this?

Not this time it seems.

Yeah, recently after posting this I went down a rabbit hole and found out about zsh and fish and I kind of like fish so I'm thinking about going straight to that, what a hard choice.

I think I maybe phrased it horribly, my question was more like, what do I need to learn in order to modify myself the .bashrc by myself instead of using a programme. Does it make sense?

So, I just found out about a programme called SynthShell which kind of does the work for you and gives you a nice looking shell, the thing is that this also creates some config files and other stuff in my system, instead of just one .bashrc file to edit. What would be the best way to learn to have a nice looking bash where I can just have a backup of it that I can use throughout systems?

I was trying to do that but I'm unsure what to edit to do that, since most tutorials are using either a Debian based or Arch distro.

I was using a similar guide, and it also talked about the locale.gen, but that file was never to be found, I just searched a bit more into that and this popped up. So it seems Fedora handles things differently, but now I'm unsure what commands to execute since I'm not sure the ones in that thread are also valid for me.

Well, in Firefox's settings there's an option to use my own fonts instead of the web site, so I don't think it's related to anything like that, but rather some setting within the OS, related to locale config files.

I think it's pure luck what font does your OS prefer, I was using Pop_OS and it defaulted to Japanese, but I think it's more common to default to Chinese because of the population size.

I just installed Fedora and I'm trying to figure out how to make it display Japanese fonts, by default it displays kanji as Chinese characters, I installed some fonts but still no change, how do I change this?

And what about installing this plus Jellyfin or something similar?

The US wants its ass kicked, lol.

It's not about the money, it's about principles.

 

So, I would like to have a copy of this in maybe a .cbr or .pdf or whatever, but for it to also keep a little bit of its essence, like the background and also sometimes it has like parallel dimensions so right after one part it goes to another dimension so its hard to download, would it make more sense to save it as a website or what?
