Thank you--that was a great suggestion and seemed super promising, but when
I ran it, it
I have a new HP Victus laptop with Fedora 38 and Windows 11 installed.
In Windows, the battery lasts all day--8+ hours. In Linux, it lasts about
2.5-3 hours.
I installed TLP, which I remember from way back, although I don't know if
that's what people do these days. In any case, it didn't help.

Hi. I haven't been here for a long time, which I guess is a testament to
how well Fedora works these days.
I have a new laptop, set up with Windows, that I'm trying to install F38
on. I used the media writer to make a USB boot/install drive. It booted
fine, and I clicked to install to hard drive.

Hi. I recently upgraded to Fedora 35. I would like to change two behaviors
back to what I had before:
1) when I mouse up to the hot corner, the application dock is now at the
bottom of the screen. How can I get the dock to position itself vertically
along the left side of the screen? I've tried a

windows/fonts. Great!
But with Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress, the text-based parts display so
small as to be un

The last time I signed off of Fedora 25, I opted to install updates.
Now it boots to a minimal grub menu, with no listing of kernel choices. I'm
sorry to say I haven't understood grub well for about 10 years. But I
looked up some guides to using the menu (without success).
If I type 'exit,' I am

Starting maybe a few days ago, holding Alt near the corner of a window and
middle-clicking, which used to turn the cursor into a window-resizer, no
longer does anything. I tried other variants (other buttons, the Super key)
and none seem to do it.
Any suggestions for how to get it back? This is F2

Since upgrading to Fedora 25 (Gnome), when I plug in my headset, my

a) properly routes sound to the speakers and sets sound input to the

This popup doesn't seem useful, although the

I just switched my son's computer to one that has a Radeon 5450. A low-end
card, but still it should be better than his old computer's Intel GMA 2500.
It's running the radeon open source driver and performance in minecraft
(the only app that's relevant) is worse than before.

I think grouping is still supposed to be the default, but maybe you have
extensions installed that alter it?

I'm on F22. I recently used Shotwell to bring a bunch of photos and videos
in from my Android phone.
I shot one of the videos in portrait mode. Shotwell brought it in rotated
90 degrees, and wouldn't rotate it back--the "Rotate" option seems to be
available only for still images, not videos. I can

I have F22 on my son's Optiplex 780 ultra-small form factor. We seem to
have a variety of (maybe related) power management issues.
First, the fan often goes full-speed and starts making lots of noise.
Usually this is when the computer is actually doing more work, like running
Minecraft. Sometimes
I'm not sure I understand your question, but gnome-tweak-tool has ways to
alter the buttons on windows, and lots of other good stuff. Have you tried
it?

I have Windows actually installed on a separate partition. Can I run it
from inside Linux somehow? That is, without rebooting into Windows. I
looked at VirtualBox and Virtual Machine Manager (I'm completely new to
them) but it wasn't obvious that they could use a real installation of
Windows.

I just plugged an NVidia GT520 into my Fedora 17 machine and I have two
monitors working with the nouveau driver with zero effort on my part. Yay.
But videos are jumpy so I want to try the proprietary driver.
I went to the How-to that's been recommended on this list, at
http://rpmfusion.org/Howto
I've installed f16 on a macbook pro and understand that I might be able to
get it to boot if I run gptsync from a rEFIt disc. But I cannot eject the
install disc in order to burn the rEFIt disc. I found the eject menu but it
doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
