This one seems to make more sense since its installed from a snap like what Ubuntu does by default.

I recommend this: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-battery

Will have to give it a look.

Thanks

@scottalanmiller Ok thanks and interesting. I will have to research them some.

Was going to ask the same thing lol

@scottalanmiller said in ScreenConnect for ChromeOS:

Google Management Console

Are you referring to https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop
?

No, that's just a desktop remoting system. We're talking about a management platform. More like MDM. Not remote assistance.

@obsolesce Did you change your username?

The old one was... obsolete.

@scottalanmiller Ubuntu is a surprising choice for you 😉

Runs ScreenConnect.

So does Fedora.

Always fail when I do it, there is some trick to it. Happen to know what's needed so that it doesn't just put hashes on the screen for forever?

@black3dynamite said in PowerShell Failing to Run on Fedora 28:

Is that only a Fedora issue?

No, definitely not isolated to Fedora. It's any distro, or any that are set up, in a way that PS doesn't like in terms of the xterm environmental. So most, I would assume, are affected, but all have a fix. It's a PS bug, and decently easy to work around.

I've always used WiFi Analyizer on a phone/tablet if I needed to survey a location. That said, a thread on linuxquestions.com led me to: https://alternativeto.net/software/inssider/?platform=linux#. Looks like some options at least, don't really know if they're decent.

@scottalanmiller said in Korora Bites the Dust:

Maybe they could make a theme pack or something for Fedora users to get the Korora style and setup on Fedora.

I don't know what their goals were, as I'm not too familiar with the project, but why didn't they just choose to do this from the start?

Edit: I guess I could not be lazy and read their "about" page myself :smiling_face_with_halo: looks like they wanted to add packages to make the software more user-friendly "out of the box." Codecs, media players, third-party repos, etc.

Right basically things that Fedora will never do natively because of licensing.

Before you rip and replace the install... look at the current driver version so you can compare it to the new install.

@jaredbusch said in Rescue computer with remote access:

I put fedora workstation on a usb, and live booted and installed l2tp dependencies with no issue.

So installing iced tea should be fine.

I've worked with lots of live sessions without persistence, and never had an issue installing additional software. Granted your limited to RAM as your total storage and system operation, and any additional software installed goes away on power off/reboot. It's odd that you're having trouble installing something unless it's requiring lots of large dependencies.

Your game plan is sound. Maybe they'll learn the joys of good backups?

I'm going to start using it on Windows if my Webroot issues keep up!

(NOTE: these issues are not Webroot's fault, I don't think.)

If you go to their website today, you can't even get a clear picture as to the state of the project.

I have a Monster OTG that I want to upgrade by moving to a SBC (rPiZ).. could be fun to try out.

@jaredbusch said in MariaDB on Fedora 27 Fails to Start from RocksDB Inclusion:

@scottalanmiller So as my systems update over the next 24 hours they are all going to break?

Hit us on update, no restart involved 😞

@black3dynamite said in Simple Linux Swap File Creation:

I automatically ignore Fedora and CentOS warning about that.

I ignored it also. just pointing out the default behavior.
