Also, what files and symlinks need to be in place for grub to boot on an
UEFI system.
(I'm trying to get a non booting UEFI system booting again.)

Hi people.
I have a huge CSV spreadsheet. I need to do a bunch of light duty data

it in the spreadsheet, but it would be too much copy/paste and the
combinations of data I want to get out are exhaustive.

that we have good tools to do this work, we can mine this data any way we

This has become so complicated.
So if I want to change some of the kernel boot parameters in the grub
command line, on F32, how do I do it ?

I would like to change the grub boot parameters for the kernels installed
on my F32 workstation.
Specifically, I would like to add the following to the kernel boot
parameters: "rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
How do I do this ?
Thanks
Thank you.

This is pretty interesting because I am trying to fix a problem caused by
transitioning from nouveau drivers to the Nvidia drivers. I installed the
Nvidia drivers but my system continues to boot the nouveau drivers. If I
blacklist the nouveau drivers, my system boots and runs the Nvidia drivers
klist nouveau
in kernel params manually, the nvidia driver works fine.

It appears that the problem is that my machine thinks it is booting in non
efi mode but is in fact booting in UEFI mode. How do I fix this ?

So both grubby and /etc/default/grub are set up correctly to run the nvidia
driver by blacklisting the nouveau driver.
But when I boot and edit the grub menu (with e), the kernal parameter
entries lack the blacklisting of the nouveau driver.

I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I copied an F31 install
onto an existing F31 install on a hard drive that had Windows 10 on it. I
did this in early 2020. Didn't keep notes. :(
Now I have a hard drive that will boot Windows 10 fine, via the Windows 10

This is what is in fedora:

BOOTX64.CSV fwupx64.efi grub.cfg.rpmsave mmia32.efi

So the boot process is supposed to find /dev/sdb5 and then mount /dev/sdb2
to the efi directory in it. Then it finds /fedora/root, and mount
/fedora/home to /fedora/root/home ?

Mount point management.
Is there an easy was to know if a disk is mounted and act accordingly or
prevent data from being written to a mountpoint ? Or to have the mount
point disappear when its not mounted ?

Lets say I create a mount point /home/me/myth and that /home/me resides on

Speaking of which, what is a good way to compare the files in two
directories (recursively, of course) to ensure that they are exactly the
same ?
Something like diff for files ?

Lets be clear here. There isn't really a bug in fdisk. It just doesn't
handle any partition table types other than MSDOS. And MSDOS type partition
tables have the 2 TB limitation, not fdisk.
I don't blame developers for not updating fdisk. I think its an inferior
tool to parted (and gparted).
I file my fair share of bugs. Generally I like to post issues to discussion
groups (mailing lists) to be sure there is indeed an issue and that I am not
overlooking something.
Lets see where this discussion goes and then I/we can determine if it

For fut
hi,
i am new in this world of linux. getting confused seeing a lot of linux
distro. I just want to use linux distro to learn linux from the scratch
level. please suggest me if fedora is the best place to start with. other
details are as follows:
confused between: fedora, openSUSE and ubuntu LTS
mething in long terms, like the one with which I
start, I should remain there. And it must be highly secured (though I know
Linux is secured). But in future, I would learn the basics of
administration too, so please guide me which is a better administration -
rpm or deb?

Correct but I am considering security too! Well, Linux is good overall.

The only reason why I cannot fully devote myself here is due to the fact of
mine being in some other job, so I get really less time to learn Linux, but
as said, whenever, I get, I do try to sit in front of PC, however, it could
be as low as 5 to 10 minutes (not a joke)! I liked

Well, since (now) /home is a separate partition, but we cannot boot from

Well, I could have all the separate partitions like you say, but as you
said to have only the separate partitions of '/' and 'home', so now I have
only Three partitions:-

Hi,
Excited to see this world of Linux. A general question came in mind
regarding the origin of Linux.
Well, it (Linux) is basically a kernel -- perhaps same in majority of all
the distros, almost all. Well, openSUSE also uses the technique of .rpm
which is again Red Hat Package Manager. So
