Re: Fedora 35 - Lug-nuts

24 Mar 2022

I can't really look now, its all updated :)

But although the OS was old, the browser,firefox-dev, was pretty current.

The process of upgrading to 35/XFCE was pretty smooth, except I had misused my /var
partition.  There were some interesting gotchas.  Using the "Custom" partition
manager in the installer, I couldn't define a root, '/', partition.  I would
revert to whatever was there earlier.  I had to use "Custom Advanced".  And the
progress meters were a little wonky, which made me wonder if I was hung a couple of
times.

I went through all this because I was trying to build Matter, home automation, and it
didn't like my python version.  It still doesn't like my python version LOL.

I installed GIMP and it installed python2, so I might have to see was is going on there. 
Also, just as previously, ImageMagick display images are all very translucent.  It makes
me think there is a setting that is off in my home directory, but I haven't been able
to find anything.

  Could it be a TLS error in your browser being so
ancient? 1,0 and 1.1 have
 both been deprecated. I quit fighting it and went with gnome.
