2411887 โ Slitherer segfaults on hardware with with nvidia card
Probably the same issue using Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-43-1.6.x86_64.iso , using a nvidia card too (not sure if related). slitherer is crashing. I edited /usr/libexec/anaconda/webui-desktop: line 172: to DEFAULT_BROWSER_CMD=firefox and I was able to complete the installation. If there is interest in solving the bug, I can run the installer again to get the exact hardware info and stack/core dump for slitherer.

Installer crashes in storage editor in all Live environments except Workstation - Fedora Discussion
Workarounds Donโt start the installer (or quit it if you started it already). Start terminal (Konsole in KDE) and edit a config file: sudo nano /etc/anaconda/profile.d/fedora.conf Find this part: # The default browser for the Web UI. webui_web_engine = slitherer and change it to: # The default browser for the Web UI. webui_web_engine = firefox Close the editor (Ctrl+X โ Y โ Enter), and run the installer, either from a desktop launcher, or from a terminal: liveinst The installer should no longer crash when using drop-down lists.

KDE liveinst crash - Fedora Discussion
I had this exact issue attempting to install Fedora 44 KDE live ISO on an older laptop with a GeForce GTX 970 GPU. I resolved it by forcing Anaconda to use Firefox instead of Slitherer. I can confirm that Firefox was the selected default browser, but for some reason the indicated variable doesnโt seem to work Instead of editing /usr/libexec/anaconda/webui-desktop I changed the following line inside /etc/anaconda/profile.d/fedora.conf: webui_web_engine = slitherer to webui_web_engine = firefox this allowed me to start Anaconda GUI normally and proceed with installing Fedora 44.

How to manage this Hugo based page from my Android phone in 2026 | foosel.net
I recently got a new phone and thus had to re-do the setup of my mobile blogging pipeline. So, basically, allow me to checkout, modify, test, commit and push the sources of this Hugo based static page under Android. While doing so I noticed some necessary changes and improvements, and also wanted to make use of my Taskfile which does most of the heavy lifting now, so here are my updated steps.

I did end up activating some non-free software repos to get to the wifi drivers. I wonder if I dragged in some bum Nvidia drivers too? I guess I could reinstall and then proceed more carefully step-wise and see what beefs it

Since I'm a masochist, I decided to get this MacBook Pro updated to macOS Catalina. Then, I'll try a re-partition to install Fedora for some dual booting torture. The live ISO on a USB drive seems to work better than Linux Mint. Cool! Time to install, then... and... the installer segfaults. Okay then ๐ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2411887

Thanks to a random brain ping from a youtube video, I've suddenly gotten a hankering for playing Devil's Crush for TurboGrafix16 on my lil Ambernic gadget. And then I started playing Pokemon Pinball for GBA. And now I want to play Metroid Prime Pinball on my Nintendo DS. I've never really liked video game pinball all that much before, but suddenly it's hooking me. Weird brain
