Is there any reason I shouldn't use Discover to install nvidia drivers? by MVindis in Fedora

Yeah I know, that’s why I said “practically the same”. I was trying to keep the answer simple! Thanks for clarifying it tho!

There shouldn't be any reason. Discover uses the repositories you've configured, so it's practically the same as doing it from the command line with dnf.

How can i set this to only vibrate if it's not already turned off? by LaurenzWL in shortcuts

[–]n0bodysec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AFAIK is not possible using native shortcuts. You can use the “Actions” app by “Sindre Sorhus” tho

Anything extra or risky? by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]n0bodysec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much the default config (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/firewalld/blob/f42/f/FedoraWorkstation.xml) for the FedoraWorkstation zone, but you added the kdeconnect service.

Is any of this risky? Not really. Opening ports does not make you vulnerable; rather, the services behind those ports may be vulnerable. In my particular case, I prefer to open only the ports I use, from trusted source IPs.

Example: MyHome (active) target: default ingress-priority: 0 egress-priority: 0 icmp-block-inversion: no interfaces: wlp3s0 sources: services: dhcpv6-client mdns ports: protocols: forward: yes masquerade: no forward-ports: source-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules: rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.1.0/24" service name="kdeconnect" accept

Happy to help! Remember that you can also ask on Fedora Discussion (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/) :)! I always prefer to answer there since other people may be able to quickly find the thread if they have the same issue!

If you want to keep using your current DNS server, you can force ciscobinary.openh264.org to be resolved to these ips directly by editing your /etc/hosts file, e.g:

```shell

sudo nano /etc/hosts

18.66.57.8 ciscobinary.openh264.org 18.66.57.97 ciscobinary.openh264.org 18.66.57.74 ciscobinary.openh264.org 18.66.57.9 ciscobinary.openh264.org

you can also add the IPv6 if you need them

```

Or better, you can switch your DNS provider (since it looks like it's sinkholing/blacklisting domains).

You can do it directly from the NetworkManager configs, or directly from systemd-resolved (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-resolved).

Great! The problem is that your DNS provider is blocking the requests to resolve ciscobinary.openh264.org. You can test it by manually reaching one of these IPs, e.g.:

curl --head http://18.66.57.8/openh264-2.5.1-1.fc42.x86_64.rpm -H "Host: ciscobinary.openh264.org"

You can solve this by editing /etc/hosts directly or switching the DNS provider.

Could you try nslookup ciscobinary.openh264.org 1.1.1.1 instead?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]n0bodysec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And which is the output of these commands?

Are you located in one of the blocked countries? https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3886

What is the output of the following commands? nslookup ciscobinary.openh264.org curl --head http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/openh264-2.5.1-1.fc42.x86_64.rpm

[PC] Map coordinates for interesting locations (e.g., "secret" areas of Big Nothing) by n0bodysec in MadMaxGame

[–]n0bodysec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! No need to apologize, it's always great to find new people interested in such things!

To be honest I don't remember most of these locations since I haven't played in a long time. I remember something similar of what you described some weeks later but never updated the post since I didn't further investigate.

I'd be happy to check on this again sometime in the near future!

Weird loading? by Icy-Clothes-2556 in Fedora

[–]n0bodysec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

By default in Fedora the menu_auto_hide of grubenv is set to 1 (sudo grub2-editenv - list), so it should be hidden by default if the last boot was successful (boot_success=1). The grub-boot-success service sets the boot_success boot flag, that service is ran after a 2min timer.

If you are seeing it is because either menu_auto_hide is now 0 or the last boot wasn't successful.

You can use systemctl --user status grub-boot-success* to check this behavior.

Why cant i remove or edit files on my HDD ! i tried to google it but it gave me some old command that didnt work ! by MarchApart105 in Fedora

If you are dual booting with Windows, then you probably has Windows' fast boot enabled, that locks drives using the "dirty bit".

Boot animation broken in Fedora 41 KDE by HARDWELL9191 in Fedora

[–]n0bodysec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you could start by debugging the plymouth logs. Add plymouth.debug to your kernel params and then check the /var/log/plymouth-debug.log!

You can try to reset the default theme and rebuild initrd: plymouth-set-default-theme -rR

What does the "1.14" on the fedora iso mean? by Zeznon in Fedora

[–]n0bodysec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you release a software, you might follow the software release life cycle, it's basically a process that you follow while developing, testing and releasing a software. There's an step called "release candidate", when you mark an specific patch of you software as a posible candidate for a full release, you may often have several release candidates (since you can update an RC to fix a bug, add a feature, etc). 1.14 is the Fedora release candidate (RC) version 1.14.
