This might be it.
What’s the method to browse a repo for a specific version?
Linuxcapable.com suggests (over at https://linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-fedora-linux/)
sudo dnf module list nvidia-driver
But I can’t seem to find nvidia-driver. Are these profiles it mentions unique to the nvidia-driver package, or is that a feature of rpm’s?
Yeah, I’m ready to be done with X11. Dunno why Fedora with a perfectly working Wayland & Nvidia and updates set to manual will not offer Wayland in the session manager at login about 80% of the time. Must be something I’m doign wrong, but IDK what it is. I wish I had wayland 100% of the time o’er here.
I did try Bazzite after this post - defaults to Nvidia 560 driver, which is still not the stable. Also installs extra things that I had to turn off - ended up re-wiping and going back to Fedora 40. I may retry in the future, though - but in general, I’m less interested in immutable at this point.
Thank you for the suggestions!
That name needs to choose. It’s either “Shawn Bon” or “Seen Bean”. Pick a side, name.
I disagree! They can be great options, inexpensive and reliable. My current home server is a Dell r620 with xeon CPUs, 64gbs of RAM, and 2 terabytes storage in raid 5. It serves several vms, a mix of Windows and Linux. More than enough for many home set ups. Boots the os off a 16gb flash card. Cost me $185. Thing has been a tank.
I bought two short L brackets from home Depot, and have it hanging flat against the wall. It’s been fabulous.
Derp, thanks for the prompt. I’d like to move to a position for more income. Government or private. Currently at $127k / yr.
Looking for cert guidance!
I’m a late-40’s life-long IT guy, working as a cybersecurity architect / deputy CISO for a state govt agency the last few years. I have my CISSP and bachelor’s in IT mgmt from WGU.
I have access to free microsoft classes & cert tests through my employer. Thinking about going back and getting some certs. Does it make sense to do the security certs in order?
SC-900, SC-100-200-300-400, AZ 500
Or am I overthinking it and I should just jump in and try a test to see how I do?
Also off work today, so it’s pet-project time: I have some scripts that collect local housing rental prices. I’ve been collecting this information in a sqlite db using python webscraping libraries, so I can chart the effects of gentrification and homelessness in my (small, rural) community.
Thanks for doing these. We’re here, this community is growing, and your encouragement and nudging is good 😀
I could use a resume review.
I’m a security architect in the public sector, state government. I started as an entry level sysadmin around 2000. I’m being strongly encouraged to apply for the CISO position here. I’m 46, and currently lead a team of 3.
Every time I apply for the private sector, including lower level jobs, it’s crickets. If I apply for govt work, I get people banging on my door.
How do I get a resume review, or someone to point out what I need to make the jump from govt to private sector?
Yes, and thank you for your interest in helping. Appreciated! After an update, I will eventually reboot. When doing so, the options in the gear at the Gnome login will be
Both of these options are X11. I verify this with $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE and see X11. When Wayland is working, the Gnome login will show four session types:
I haven’t been able to locate a log file where something looks relevant to the decision made at boot for XDG, Wayland, or X11 that chooses one over the other. It’s just as though Wayland stops being an option. 3 or 4 updates later, I’ll have Wayland back again - but no idea why it comes and goes. My caveman intuition tells me it happens around nvidia updates, but I haven’t kept strict notes on that.
