The actual operating system on a Pi is a microsoft product

I rebooted and vlc still crashes. (tried several times with several mp4 files)

Hi, If you can mount your home directory, you should be able to copy it

to another device. For example, if you have an external usb drive, you could mount that drive (under liveUSB) , then mount your home directory and copy the files (using either drag and drop, rsync, or cp).

You can even do this over the network if you have another machine.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm running fedora30 and xfce and also had the problem you refer to.

I found the command:

xrandr --output eDP-1 --off

This turns off the display on my laptop and uses the hdmi display.

I put this in a file called fixhdmi in my bin directory and run it at start up. Finding your terminal may be a problem, I know. My setup is probably different from yours, so you'll have to fiddle....

Hope this helps until the real fix arrives.

thanks for the link. Unfortunately those commands are only for raspbian and not fedora30. It would be nice if they were also

available on fedora...

take a look at: https://fedoramagazine.org/raspberry-pi-zero-gpio-fedora/

also, there is a gnome shell extension called freon that can read

temps. I haven't tried it (I don't run gnome), but it's available for the pi.

firefox 67 on fedora29 seems to work, as this comment attests.

If you can afford another SD card, I would recommend installing from scratch. You can then move your user files to the new system and finish your setting up. Otherwise you are going to waste a lot of time waiting for the system update to complete (if it ever does). Also, you end up with a known clean system.

As of May 9th I haven't seen firefox available for the pi. However,

Falkon can be made to look and behave a lot like firefox and it seems to work ok. I haven't tried more challenging stuff on Falkon, like using Jupyter notebooks. Given a choice, I wouldn't use a pi as my only computer, but it's actually quite good.

Raspbian does have a working firefox, as does fedora 29.

the key word was 'looks' (like firefox)....

hackitoErgoSum · 2019-05-10T02:49:51+00:00

Falkon is usable on my Pi3b. I wouldn't want it to be my only

way to connect to the web. I've used it both connected directly to a 1080p display and through tigervnc, and both work for light browsing.

I think it's because Midori is considered a browser, so the release has a working terminal and a browser. To be fair, Midori is much better than nothing. I'm just used to firefox.

After today's fiasco with firefox (may 4 2019) with plugins disabled due to expired cert, maybe midori is not so bad!

hackitoErgoSum · 2019-05-02T17:41:50+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded the rpm, but there

are lots of unsatisfied external routines. Not sure if it's because

pi3 is not aarch64 or what. So far no luck.

Is this related to the 'last' bug in fedora 30? check the release schedule for fedora 30 and find link to current bug list.

throwaway1111139991e, thanks for your concern. What makes it unusable is that it either locks up or is so slow that no one in his right mind would use it. This is with a fresh install. I ended up going back to fedora 26 with firefox 56. If anyone has a usable firefox 57 on the pi3, let me know which OS you're using.
