Stratis is just an automation and communication layer for XFS and LVM

I did not know that.

I didn't either, was just researching it, lol. It makes it a lot more valuable, it is essentially taking the "one filesystem" advantages of ZFS or BtrFS and making them happen with traditional, mature technologies. Kind of a best of both worlds approach. Actually quite nice, if it works well.

Getting ready to throw Mint Cinnamon onto a laptop although Pop OS seems to be the new belle of the ball nowadays.

Pop_OS doesn't make their own desktop like Mint does. Mint's focus is making an alternative desktop environment and Mint is just the showcase OS for it. Pop_OS! is a tweaking to Ubuntu used as the default on custom hardware.

Cinnamon is far and away my preferred DE. I just wish that other distro's / spins would integrate it as tightly with the underlying OS as Mint does. The add/remove (install/uninstall) integration right into the main menu is convenient. I just have an extreme dislike for their policy of staying on LTS / Stable packages and package base.

Fedora's Cinnamon spin is pretty much as integrated as Mint.

They are pretty much all integrated once installed. Many DEs have a software manager / software center gui now that is shortcutted.

Yeah, pretty much all DE have that now.

@black3dynamite cool... If not official docs what else? Strange...

It is the official docs. I'm just being stubborn about some screenshots that doesn't go with the current release.

You can use CUPS Command Line
https://www.cups.org/doc/admin.html

lpadmin -p PrinterName -E -v socket://ip.address.of.printer -m printerdriver.ppd

Aren't printers and configs saved in a file somewhere? If so, could I copy that file to other minions, similar to remmina connection files as discussed in the other thread?

I did not see your other thread but let me check.

You could deploy an image using FOG

While this was my initial thought as well, he has asked about doing this simultaneously. Which fog generally isn't "all at once go".

It kind of is...I was using FOG to do multicast imaging 7 years ago. We're talking 30-60 machines at a clip.

Sure it can do it but that doesn't mean that you should do it. It's about network performance and if you're not setup for it you'll encounter massive slowdowns

Mutlicast is the way to go. You can even do it over broadcast domains. It sounds like you didn't have multicast configured correctly? Even doing 60 machines we didn't see any network slowness associated with imaging.

@bigbear said in Blinking Cursor on Fresh Fedora 28 Install after reboot:

So I made a full USB installer for Suse Tumbleweed this morning and loaded it up, I am afraid to reboot.

I am hoping its something Fedora is missing the Suse got right...

/me hands you a dang helmet.

Good luck!

Is Remmina ceashing when RDP to older servers like Server 2008 R2? That’s the only server giving me issues with Remmina. Try freerdp or rdesktop through command line and see if you have a better experience.

I know this was discussed in the past, but I am not able to find the thread on it.

Windows to Fedora using RDP is fine,.. it's Fedora to Fedora using Remmina that I get the issue.

0_1530814284753_Remmina RDP Error.png

Thoughts?

Is this a Type or are you saying that you RDP from a Windows box to a remote Fedora box?

At that time, I was going from Fedora to Fedora

But you are using RDP protocol and not VNC?

Sadly I don't remember currently. And for the moment, I am mainly all Windows again due to some hardware issues. Once things getting settled - oh sometime about 2025 - I will have another go at it.

I was just reading the part where you accessed a Linux PC via RDP from your Windows box, and wanting to make sure I read that right. I am assuming you meant that you accessed a WIndows BOX for Remmina RDP from your Linux box.

No you can RDP into Linux. xRDP will either set up a full X session or use behind in ND the scenes to create a session.

Wow that was terrible. It was supposed to say "or use vnc behind the scenes"

@irj said in New to Fedora, What should I configure out of the box?:

I got lync working. So I am 0% dependent on Windows for my job functions 🙂

Awesome

Well crap, I never added pictures to step 2.
I will try to get to that later this afternoon.
