I know what you mean. When I first installed #Fedora 29, #nouveau wouldn't run for more than eight hours without crashing the kernel, possibly because I had two video cards. Every crash cost me a lot of SSD wear, because I'd set up a complex LVM configuration that needed to resync. I decided to install the binary drivers, did some googling, and arrived at some instructions on a site called 'if not true then false'. Those instructions left my system unbootable, which is why I'm not linking to them.

Fortunately, the instructions on #RPMFusion are easy enough to follow (at least for people who can use the command line, which is not everyone), and they work every time.

That said, the proprietary #nvidia drivers themselves are as ropy as hell. I dread upgrading, because every release brings new bugs. I wish I'd chosen different graphics cards. Everything else about my system is nice and stable and a credit to Fedora, but Nvidia's drivers (which Fedora does not control) are a pain in the neck.

@fedora

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.

#fedora #epel #linux #redhat #firefox

@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.

#linux #kernel

Only 1170 days until the last patents on #h264 codecs expire!

*checks watch... come on

Hmm just discovered that the #RPMFusion version of #ffmpeg has issues with the current version of #Silveblue. I haven't had updates in a few weeks due to software rev conflicts. Oie

Is anyone experiencing checksum issues with the fedora-cisco-openh264 repository installed via RPM Fusion?
#linux #fedora #rpmfusion #issues

My review of #Fedora #Silverblue so far:

I'm still annoyed that I need to use #RPMFusion just to make Firefox play web videos correctly.

currently the mesa-dri-drivers are not upgrade, because there is a conflict with mesa-va-drivers-freeworld from #rpmfusion.
As I understand it, this can happen and should be solved, when the rpmfusion packages are updated? #fedora

thanks to everyone to mention #rpmfusion. codecs now work great! #fedora

Sorry for a maybe stupid question, but I try to understand and learn linuxstuff and mitbot just add stuff.

#rpmfusion is a trusted way to install additional packages to #fedora?
