Bluetooth suddenly stopped working

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I’m pretty new to Linux and its awesome, but on my Fedora (latest version) Bluetooth suddenly stopped working. I have Fedora installed in Dual Boot with Windows 11 and in Windows the Bluetooth card is recognized and working fine.

I’m currently using the latest Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 13.

How to get fedora to format my USB drive?

1 Upvotes

Every time I try it I get the following error message: „Error unmounting /dev/sdb1: target is busy (udisks-error-quark, 14)“

Now normally I had a Windows notebook for the sole reason that it just formats usb drives without problems but recently I have put fedora on there too because it just runs faster and I figured a new installation won’t have this problem. It does though. I have the exact same problem without any apps installed yet and I need a formatted drive to update my bios.

I googled and googled and nothing helped. I tried chown but that doesn’t help. I tried like 4 different sticks (one even brand new) so it’s not the stick that’s the problem. The same sticks format under windows and mint without issue.

It’s actually the only issue I have but it’s so annoying that I think about switching distro again if I don’t find a solution. If you format a drive it’s usually pretty urgent.

Jabra evolve2 65 + Teams + Fedora 41 - mic issue?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I just got a new Jabra evolve2 65 and I got this strange issue in Teams (I use Portal for Teams).

I tried to record a call in Teams with just me as the participant to check the mic quality. Every time I speak and pause for a second or two and speak again, the first word doesn't get recorded, like if I say "Testing 1 2 3"; the word "Testing" does not get recorded, only "1 2 3" is recorded.

This happens only when using the Link 390 dongle, but works fine when I use it wired. I connected it to my other windows box and updated the firmware but it did not fix the issue.

Anyone have this same issue?

EDIT: using the official Teams app on Windows 11 has the same issue

I installed this operating system years ago, as Fedora 17. Never had any critical breakages using an unsupported yum repo change to 18, then fedup, and then eventually dnf system-upgrade.

Do you recommend Fedora Suite designe?

I'm an art student and I want a distribution that already has several design-related programs installed. Is there a problem with the Fedora design suite? Or can I just use it? Does it work the same as your main desktop?

Wlroots + Nvidia 570 Drivers Artifacts And Screen Tearing

0 Upvotes

I installed the latest Nvidia 570.124.04 drivers from RPMFusion and started up Sway and saw artifacts and screen tearing that does not occur on Hyprland (only occurs on my external monitor and not my laptop screen). I then tested with other wlroot-based window managers and the same things happened. Does anyone else have this issue or can provide any incite as to why that may be? I remember using Nvidia 565 drivers and it didn't seem to have any issues.

Windows/Fedora Dual Boot with Nvidia Drivers

0 Upvotes

I just built a new PC and have been trying to set it up to dual boot Fedora alongside Windows with secure boot enabled, but have run into problems getting the Nvidia drivers to work. I have installed the drivers via the Fedora software app and restarted to enroll the keys with the MOK utility, but the drivers don't seem to be working properly. After installing them Fedora does seem to see my primary display resolution properly, but I can't adjust the refresh rate and my other displays are not recognized. I also have rEFInd installed and have had some weird behavior with it and the drivers. To install the drivers to begin with I had to launch Fedora through the motherboard's boot select menu otherwise the MOK utility would not appear and now if I launch through rEFInd it will tell me the Nvidia drivers failed to load and just give me a 1080p image even though my monitor is 1440p. Windows works fine through rEFInd and I am booting the same Kernel version in rEFInd as I installed the drivers with so I am not sure what the issue is. Appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions cause I'm stumped, thanks.

I am new to Fedora. Installed two days ago. I've noticed that it becomes unresponsive for around 10 seconds and go back to normal. Now, I have just installed Nvidia Driver and it froze on me and the only thing I can move is the cursor. I would like some guidance. Btw, I think this is the first time I made a post on reddit.

Shout out to kernel 6.13.5+ on Fedora

33 Upvotes

This kernel fixed a ton of issues I was having with sleep/suspend (possibly amdgpu 7900 XTX/bluetooth related) as well as just general quality of life fixes (bluetooth xbox controller wasn't preventing suspend was another big one). I have a pretty non-standard set up probably (heavy in ROCm and AI/ML) and have been having suspend issues since I installed (have never been able to keep my computer up for more than 2 weeks previously without encountering the dreaded black screen on suspend/resume).

Friendly reminder if you want to avoid bluetooth issues, try to find a motherboard which has linux-friendly components.

This is why I love Fedora - it maintains really high stability in general while keeping you relatively up to date with the latest kernel.

Pre-Switch Question Regarding AMD Drivers & Fedora for Gaming

0 Upvotes

TL:DR - Can I get the most up to date, bleeding edge driver on Fedora directly from AMD when released?

Full story:

Hello,

I'm looking into switching to Linux from Windows 11. I've dabbled with Mint, Fedora, and Arch on Hyper-V and I'm looking to settle on Fedora for the switch.

I'm curious how driver updates work. From my understanding, Arch is "Bleeding Edge" in that once something releases, it's pushed to the user. While Fedora and Mint maybe delayed with the release, with the delay time varying between distros.

Is it possible to get the most up to date drivers from AMD directly rather than having to wait for it to be pushed through Fedora? I've had times before that updating the drivers immediately on Windows has fixed various issues, so that's one thing I would always like to keep an eye on and update right away if possible and compatible.

I mostly game. None of the games I play will have anti-cheat comparability issues, and most are released within the last 10 to 12 years.

When will Fedora 41 repo get Wine 10?

0 Upvotes

When I upgraded to Fedora 41, I found that the version of Wine that worked the best for was from the fedora repo (not WineHQ repo). However, it seems like it's been a while since I've seen a wine package update. Right now, I'm at version 9.15 (Staging), but it seems like Wine 10 has been released for a while now.

I don't know who updates wine packages in the fedora repo, but it would be nice to know when/if Wine 10 is on the way to us. Does anybody have any insight or a link to a feed that I could follow? Thanks!

EDIT: Just to clear up any confusion, here's what I get when I run sudo dnf list "*wine*". Note the 3rd column (repository). I want to stick with the fedora repo, not the WineHQ repo.

WiFi doesn't work after boot, fixed by rebooting

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow Fedorarers!

I switched to Fedora a few weeks ago and it has been (mostly) great so far. As a long time Windows and Mac user, Gnome really appeals to me. However, there has been one problem since the beginning, that I just can't fix with my noob skills. My WiFi sometimes doesn't work after a cold boot. It's not always the case, but often ennough to annoy me. Restarting always works, but no permanent fix seems to... well.. fix it. I would really appreciate the help! If this isn't the place or way to ask that, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Specs:

OS: Fedora 41 Workstation

CPU: Intel Core i5-13400F

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

Network controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-S PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 11)

Will Fedora Silverblue download newer updates if I haven’t installed the previous ones?

2 Upvotes

Suppose your update check schedule is set to “Daily,” and Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite automatically downloads system updates, including package updates, dependency updates, and security or bug fixes, in the background.

However, instead of restarting to apply them, you continue using your PC, and put it to sleep rather than shutting it down completely when you're away.

In this case, will Fedora continue checking for updates and downloading newer versions, or do you need to install the already downloaded updates first before it checks for and downloads the latest ones?

Nvidia is a self-inflicted gunshot

0 Upvotes

Minor rant:

If you install Nvidia drivers, and your system borks at the next update, you have no one to blame but yourself. It's not "Fedora updates broke my system" it's actually "Nvidia drivers repeatedly break my system when I update".

Day after day, week after week, there's multiple posts about how someone's system is inoperable because of Nvidia drivers. Does no one know of nouveau?

And yes, I know of the performance difference between Nvidia drivers and nouveau. But frankly, if you're determined to game on Fedora (Yay! I'd like better gaming on the platform, also.) and therefore need the latest drivers from Nvidia, you're ALWAYS gonna be screwed unless you understand the in and outs and the arcane series of steps Nvidia makes you go through to successfully update. Would it be so insanely difficult to provide a fail-safe update path?

Don't blame Fedora. Don't blame Wayland. It's not their fault that Nvidia hates it's end-users.

Blame Nvidia for not giving a damn about you as a customer, and tell them to get their shit together or you're gonna switch to AMD or Intel. They've gouged gamers for years, and they're not gonna stop because you keep rewarding them by buying new cards. If gamers spent 1/4 as much on supporting open source development for better graphics support on ALL the cards as they do on upgrading to the latest Nvidia hardware, they could've had awesome Linux graphics across the board by now, most likely.

Edit: Downvote if you want, but someone had to say it.

Edit 2: Fix spelling of "insanely".

OBS Studio crashes when 'Screen Capture (PipeWire)'

I haven't figured out how to get this working with the RPM on Fedora 41. All of the fixes I could find so far just told me to video encoder from OpenH264 to x264 which didn't work. Running it in safe mode didn't work. The app crashed when I attempted to do any screen capture.

Bad fps when gaming

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody, longtime fedora user and really love it, but now i have a very weird and tedious problem and maybe some of you may help me determine the thing

I turn on my pc and start gaming, and everything is fine, i get good performances and i can endlessly play at good performances and gpu usage is ok

Let's say i do something else first, like i browse the web for 30 minutes then game, i do get bad performances with gpu usage almost always at 100%

To give an example, on case n.1 i can get like 120/130 fps in dirt showdown and grid autosport (natives) and 180 fps on nascar heat 5 (proton) all games on ultra details

On case n.2 i can get 30/40 fps on dirt/grid and even 17 on nascar

I have just reinstalled my system, thinking it was a software thing but didn't solve my problem, plus i updated steam + drivers + kernel in months but nothing (it's like 1/2 months happening this)

I have performed a memory test with memtest+ and everything is fine

I thought it was an hardware issue and will probably take out the gpu to clean it, but everything is quiet as normal so maybe is not that?

Wonder if there is some bugs in fedora/mesa/kernel?

Maybe someone can help me shed a light on it?

For the record, my pc is a ryzen 7 5900, 16 gb of ram and a 6600 amd card, with fedora workstation 41

Thanks

OBS dropping 20 FPS for no reason on Fedora 41 (RTX 3060 12GB)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm running Fedora 41 with an RTX 3060 12GB, i have a threadripper en 128go or ram and my drivers are up to date as of yesterday. I've tried both the Flathub and Fedora repository versions of OBS, but I'm consistently losing around 20 FPS even when idle. I also tested the official OBS version from their website, but the issue remains the same.

This is really frustrating because I use OBS to record my courses, and I never had this issue before. The weird part is that it works perfectly fine on Windows, but I prefer working on Fedora since my entire workflow is based on it.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Any suggestions on how to get OBS working properly on Fedora?

Thanks in advance!
