This morning I wanted to install MusicPlayerDemon, but unfortunately it's not in the regular Fedora package repositories. But I saw that it's part of RPM Fusion.
Which of course is a good thing. But still, if they have this Free branch, why not just contribute the package to the main repo?
(I don't try to criticize, I'm honestly asking for the rationale behind these alternative sources.)
Parece que steam-devices ha sido añadido a los repositorios de #Fedora. Muy buena noticia, ya que es un componente publicado bajo MIT y no tenía mucho sentido que siguiera en RPM Fusion.
Sigh. I'm currently running #Fedora 42 on a #MacBook Pro 2014 with the #Nouveau drivers for the #NVIDIA graphics card. Which is slow. Unfortunately the #RPMFusion driver makes #GDM crash on startup. And the official NVIDIA driver requires a patched kernel and X11 – which has been removed from Fedora 42 and has to be honed in manually.
Meh.

Nvidia driver version 580 is now in RPMFusion's Fedora 42 "updates" repo. 580.82.07 is in "updates" and 580.82.09 is in "updates-testing" now.
Is Fedora 42 ever going to get Nvidia driver version 580 in RPMFusion's "updates" repo, or is it only going to be on Fedora 43 and "updates-testing" in 42? The last Nvidia update to be in "updates" was 575 at the end of July.
Hopefully Nvidia version 580 drivers get into "updates" soon on RPMFusion.
Anyone having issues with #rpmfusion mirrors not working?
Por ejemplo, cuando usas #RPMFusion, te puedes encontrar con bibliotecas que son "downgradeadas", lo que aumenta las probabilidades de rotura del sistema y puede terminar reintroduciendo vulnerabilidades que han sido parcheadas.
Sinceramente, los sistemas mutables de #Fedora para escritorio deben ser descontinuados cuanto antes, más que nada porque son un verdadero peligro para el usuario.
Si usas Fedora Workstation u otro spin mutable, contempla migrar a #LinuxMint.
Jetzt musste ich doch tatsächlich #h265 nachinstallieren bei #Fedora 🙈
#Rpmfusion ließ sich aber relativ einfach installieren. Und danach die passenden GStreamer Pakete im Softwarecenter.
Upgraded my #Fedora #Kinoite to 42
When the upgrade begins, I was quite delightful that no #rpmfusion packages were broken.
But my joy didn't last long. I now find #Nix doesn't work well on Fedora 42. Hope this issue can be fixed soon

3/ BTW a related PSA for users of modern #AMD GPUs on #Fedora Linux:
To install va-drivers with support for hardware acceleration of AV1, H264, and H265, enable #RPMFusion free repo if you haven't yet and run this:
sudo dnf install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
The days of "sudo dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld" are over, as the conflict with Fedora's va-driver package is not needed anymore. 😀
PSA for #Fedora users with modern #AMD oder #Intel GPUs:
#RPMFusion since a week or two ships #Mesa #Vulkan driver packages for #Fedora >= 41 with support for patent encumbered video codecs such as H264, and H265, which is missing in Fedora's mesa package.
To switch to those drivers, run:
sudo dnf swap mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers-freeworld
[Edit: dropped AV1 from the list of codecs this toot mentioned, as it seems to be supported by Fedora's standard vulkan drivers; sorry for the mishap!]
Wieder ein #Linux Problem gelöst.
Gestern habe ich aus einen Video einen kurzen Schnipsel extrahieren wollen und den dann immer wiederholen, bis 10 Sekunden zusammen kommen. Die Software war schnell gefunden: #kdenlive
Aber der #h264 Codec lief beim Export nicht.
Lösung: Nicht #ffmpeg aus dem original #Fedora Repository verwenden, sondern das #rpmfusion-free Repository einbinden und das Paket ffmpeg daraus installieren. Läuft
Langsam beschleicht mich der Verdacht, das Fedora keine gute Wahl war
Y para los que piden la retirada del repositorio #Flatpak de #Fedora, les recuerdo que Fedora, al estar ubicada en #EstadosUnidos, tiene que cumplir con una legislación muy estricta en materia de patentes de software. Por eso #RpmFusion está ubicado en Francia, ya que la legislación de la #UniónEuropea en torno a esta materia es muchísima más laxa que la estadounidense.
Reempaquetados de aplicaciones que funcionan mal en una distribución en particular o procedentes de un repositorio en particular siempre ha habido.
De hecho, la razón de por qué descubrí #Shotcut fue que la compilación de #Kdenlive proporcionada por #RpmFusion era prácticamente inusable, por lo que tuve que buscar una alternativa.
2/ #RPMFusion wants to ship an *add-on* pkg for #Fedora with vulkan drivers that support hw video acceleration for patent encumbered codecs.
Petite astuce quand on a des problèmes à lire des vidéos sous #Fedora : dégager ffmpeg-free des dépôts officiels et le remplacer par ffmpeg des dépots rpm-fusion, ca facilite tout de suite la vie (et la lecture)
Anyone having an idea how to get #MP4 playback working in #LibreWolf on #rhel10 beta?
I have a strong hunch it's related to ffmpeg ... librewolf complains about NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR and Couldn't open avcodec:. I tested #rpmfusion on an AlmaLinux 9 box, and it works fine there with the same kind of packages installed there - but ffmpeg seems to be crux anyhow.
I do have the #oneplay codec pack from #fluendo installed as well, to no avail.
@leyrer Can't we just have both. Does #rpmfusion not offer the "classic" wget?
I recently slapped my old #nvidia 1080 into a build and had to figure out setting it up with #fedora and #rpmfusion.
It's bad.
1. There are multiple instructions online, none which seem simple and official
2. It seemed like steps were missing, especially reboot instructions.
3. Way too many commands that new users don't understand / shouldn't care about.
I know we all don't like nvidia, but we should have a graphical installer.
