We're excited to hear about the community updates that will be presented at the Fedora 40 Release Party. 😬 We'll learn about the Mentored Projects initiative, the git forge investigation, EPEL 10, and Week of Diversity!

KAdressBook is part of KMail and gets installed together with it. I don't use KMail, but I installed it just now and KAdressBook works just fine. Can you paste the exact error message about the akonadi agent? Also, if you start KMail from Konsole, there might be more output regarding KAdressBook.
Taking my new (to me) ThinkPad 450 out for its first stroll. Using it while waiting for the car to be serviced. #linuxmint, #firefox, #emacs, all working like a charm. Keyboard and touchpad are almost perfect, battery life is super long. Screen is a little dim but hey. For under $100US I'm not complaining. This is exactly why I got it and set it up with linux, etc. Oh, also doing some journaling with #orgmode and it seems to be syncing to my home computer with #syncthing. Just about perfect!
@holgerschurig Thanks for that. A PET2001? We're not talking Commodore PET, are we? Wow. I'm a Commodore Basic guy from the 64 days. And yes, very small steps do add up!
@birv2 Yes, Commodore PET2001 with 8 kB of RAM. Long before C64.
Later, after I worked beside school and had some money I was able to buy myself an Apple II. Not the original one, but a compatible one. So than I had 48 kB of RAM :-)
I'm running testing on my laptop, as I have been for a couple decades. I've been waiting for the t64 transition to settle out before resuming updating packages.
I think the transition is now (mostly?) done, but aptitude is still flummoxed when trying to resolve 1300+ package updates.
I've tried to find small groups of packages that I can manually select and upgrade, but with few exceptions pulling on one of these threads quickly leads to a tangled mess of broken packages.
Any advice for how to tackle this would be most appreciated!
@HankB@plantarum That's when you use apt-mark. Gnome/KDE are incredibly dependency heavy desktops and will have breakages now and again. You should still update the rest of the system and unhold the gnome/kde packages once dependencies have been updated.
@plantarum@HankB Using this as a learning opportunity and attempting to update could be good, if you're interested. If you're going to wipe anyway, there's no loss.
Fedora CoreOS is great for the server use case, but it might be tricky for someone new to it. How does it use rpm-ostree? What is Butane? What are Ignition files? But once you get going, it might be your new favorite way to manage a homelab (and more)!
@fedora been using Fedora CoreOS on my home server for a few years now and have been generally happy with it. I use the network boot + run from ram option and have it reboot + provision with ignition once a week to "erase your darlings". Also allows me to version control the config so updating is easy
J'ai cherché la date de déploiement mais rien trouvé.
Je comptais faire cela cet été.
Finalement, tout ce que j'utilise en soft est multiplateforme, donc, normalement, j'ai juste à faire très attention à mes sauvegardes. 😉
My experience with #elementaryOS so far has not been great. After installing I had to do a bit of tinkering to install the right Nvidia drivers and be able to boot to GUI, many times the system hangs after coming back from suspend, the default terminal has some issue that makes it laggy, etc.
Installed #Waydroid on my #Fedora Linux PC today. Took a while until I understood how to add some ARM emulation support. Followed instructions for adding Google PlayStore, hooked up the Xbox 360 controller and fired up #AmongUs where the little one immediately started to show me the ropes.
