Hi Everyone, I have an MP4 clip that I am trying to watch on F41. When I double click the MP4, Dragon Player opens with two buttons: Play File and Play Stream. (It does not show the MP4 that caused Dragon Player to launch). I cannot seem to get the MP4 to play, even if I select Play File and brows

I installed fedora 41 workstation on a spare partition on my system, when I try to boot I get a neverending series of messages about the TrippLite UPS connecting then disconnecting. I fixed this by unplugging the USB cable on the UPS, I'll try plugging it back in once I get all the software insta

I know it's a compile error.  It's just that dnf4 did not provide any feedback while dnf5 does.  The same error would occur with dnf4 but no dnf4 does not provide feedback.  That is what was confusing me. Paolo On 11/20/24 15:19, Samuel Sieb wrote: On 2024-11-20 12:19, Paolo Galtieri wrote: Y
