Hello all,

I have built a custom kernel rpm and installed it on a RHEL8 VM. I would like to install the shim bootloader but I am getting package conflicts with the custom kernel. Do I need to customize shim to accept my kernel build? Most of my searching result in ways to sign an efi image but I haven't even made it that far. I just need to be able to install both rpms. My ultimate goal is to create a live-cd but baby steps first. If there is anyone able to point me in the right direction then that would be appreciated.

Here is the error I am receiving:
Code: Error:
 Problem: package kernel-core-4.18.0-477.27.1.el8.jumboshrimp.x86_64 conflicts with shim-ia32 <= 15.6-1.el8.alma provided by shim-ia32-15.6-1.el8.x86_64
  - cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - conflicting requests

I have transferred about 2800 mp3's to a 512 GB sdcard. The card is assigned a different device name on each computer. I would like to have a shell script to determine the device name on each computer and then mount it on the Music directory on my home directory.

Thank you.

I recently asked whether my Legacy printer would be supported under the new driverless Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...pp-4175729700/

CUPS 3.0 is due in November 2023 and it will no longer support existing classic CUPS printer drivers such as these for Brother (brother-lpr-drivers-laser, brother-cups-wrapper-laser, printer-driver-brlaser).

However, at the same time, Legacy Printer Applications should be made available in order that older Legacy printers will still continue to function under IPP.

https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups...ent-1435337985

Extract:

Quote: For the future of CUPS 3.x not supporting classic CUPS drivers any more, we have already taken care:
� Drivers will still exist, but they will come in a new format, the Legacy Printer Applications which are software emulations of driverless IPP printers. Manufacturers are supposed to ship drivers in this format in the future.
� All free software classic CUPS drivers are already converted to Printer Applications and readily available in the Snap Store.
� For proprietary legacy CUPS drivers, like the one from Samsung, we have also a solution, the so-called Legacy Printer Application. It sees classically installed classic CUPS drivers, independent whether there is a classically installed CUPS 2.x on the system or not, and makes them available as Printer Application, so that CUPS 3.x sees and uses them.
So I hope this helps and that we from OpenPrinting are sustainable, keeping old printers working. Further information:

I am sticking to my original plan of blocking all CUPS-related updates on my main desktop PC (possibly until April 2027 when Linux Mint 21.2 support ends).

In addition, on my spare laptop, also running Mint, I will allow the CUPS 3.0 update (including the Legacy Printer Application?).

I will then connect my Brother HL-1112 printer and test whether it works.

If it does, then I will allow the CUPS 3.0 update on my main desktop PC.

I hope this information is of use to all LQ members using Legacy printers.

Hi

I have a raspberry pi connected to my TV/Display in the livingroom but I find it rather ineffective to need and connect a vnc session in order to handle it in most ways. Tiling window managers have a logical way of moving windows in a pattern which I like - but it is hard to have it to work with this display since it does not have a keyboard or mouse and often requires a vnc connection for window placement or something that needs to show there.

I would want a (WM?) which I can interact with like over a ssh session or similar, is there such a thing?

In the past I have had my current setup to startup a terminal in full-screen with tmux, which I can connect to and change around in within and I can see it live on the screen, but tmux does not work very well when it comes to graphical content.

I have used Awesome somewhat a while back, if maybe there is a way to send keyboard combinations as a command like [alt] + [1] or [ctrl] + [r] through a command??

Some way to handle graphical stuff without mouse and keyboard pretty much if you know what I mean.
