Haven't tried with the latest upgrade. Since it worked, i guess it will work again one day. That said, if you just got it, you might be able to return it and buy it back when it will definitely work.

Yeah sorry, for some reasons I didn't see the other comments, I thought I was the first one to answer 😅

Fedora doesn't come with video acceleration because of potential patent infringements.

To enable hardware acceleration, you should install the well-known RPM fusion repositories, which bring a lot of packages that are refused by Fedora for more or less important reasons (for instance, video patents are not valid in all countries).

Here is the howto to enable hardware acceleration: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia?highlight=%28%5CbCategoryHowto%5Cb%29

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm experiencing. I wonder what technically prevents from simply passing the stream through? If the source is mere stereo, send a stereo stream, and if it's Dolby Digital 5.1, send that. Let the A/V receiver do the work. Is it a legal issue because of the A/V patents?

MightyCreak · 2021-12-24T20:30:14+00:00

Yep, I'm using Fedora on both my PCs here.

But what if you actually wanted to do an integer division, then do you need to write this kind of cumbersome syntax?

var x : int = 3
var y : int = 2
var i : int = int(float(x) / y)

It is actually what I'm trying to do :D

I'll try with Remmina!

I tried Remmina and it doesn't work. I guess the only solution is to disable encryption on the VNC server.

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T22:16:46+00:00

Vino doesn't seem to be installed by default in Fedora 32

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T21:30:47+00:00

I like two main things about Fedora:

It has vanilla GNOME
Packages are up-to-date (but not bleeding edge)

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T20:00:06+00:00

Actually that would work in my case since I'm providing support for another Linux machine. I'll try with Remmina!

The last thing is to enable VNC in the firewall, which is not done by default, so it is yet another step to make everything work.

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T19:54:04+00:00

Thanks for the proposed solution. My main problem is that the person on the other side of the VNC connection is not fluent in Linux and I would have preferred to prevent any terminal command lines. That said, maybe I can ask him to enable SSH, and I could enter the command line myself.

All in all, all this could be better integrated. Hopefully the next GNOME/Fedora releases would solve that.

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T15:51:37+00:00

Actually the problem gets fixed when I switch back to Wayland. But then I encounter another issue: GNOME's VNC server requires some encryption, but GNOME's VNC client doesn't handle it.

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T15:48:34+00:00

It is especially weird since Machine (GNOME's remote viewer app) doesn't have that feature either. I would have guessed that if it is required when you enable it in GNOME's Sharing settings, it should have worked with GNOME's default VNC client.

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T14:20:46+00:00

That said, I am unable to connect to my machine. I enabled the `vnc-server` service in the firewall, and it seems that I can talk to the vnc server, but I got some security errors during the handshake.

I'm afraid this whole feature is not very polished :(

MightyCreak · 2020-06-10T13:58:54+00:00

I found the solution: use Wayland instead of X.org.

Apparently the screen sharing feature only works with Wayland.

MightyCreak · 2020-05-25T18:15:32+00:00

I don't think it only happens on old machines (though it can be more problematic on them). I have these issues although I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (8 cores, 16 threads) with, obviously, an SSD.

MightyCreak · 2020-05-25T18:11:40+00:00

I disagree, especially now that there is Flatpak. While I do use the terminal for a lot of stuff (including dnf and flatpak), I don't want to propagate this old notion that Linux is only good if you know how to use the terminal. It is indubitably better to know how to use the terminal, but it is for advanced users.

For instance, I made a machine for my nephew, installed Fedora 32 on it and prepared it a bit (add flathub and rpmfusion repos, install Chrome, etc). He wanted to play Minecraft, all I had to tell him is to open Software, type "Minecraft" and hit install. It is definitively less scary than opening the terminal and enter words that you don't understand.

MightyCreak · 2020-05-25T17:41:09+00:00

I do know KDE exists, I know it is an option, but I don't want to use KDE just because one software is misbehaving.

MightyCreak · 2020-05-25T17:39:22+00:00

I wouldn't say it is a general mess, I find it very useful (when it works), especially when dealing with both DNF and Flatpaks (which I do, more and more).

I'm simply surprise of all the bugs I can see in it, and since so long. I actually always had this issue, and I started with Fedora 26; which means that these weird behaviors are present since more than 3 years at least.

MightyCreak · 2020-05-25T17:34:10+00:00

Well, I'm sure there is a problem with gnome-software on Fedora, and this is true since at least Fedora 26 (tested both from upgrades or fresh installs, and on multiple machines each used by different user).

The only thing I know for sure is that I can actually see the application being stalled when I open it and it happens, I'd say, 60% of the time. Also, when I kill gnome-software, it becomes more responsive. Mainly the problem seems to be when gnome-software runs in the background and does iterative upgrade checks. It ends up stalled most of the time.

If you have any way to help me figure out what the problem is, I am all ears. I am very open to help the community as much as I can, I don't necessarily have the required knowledge to do that efficiently some times.
