I think the USB unifying receiver makes the mouse and keyboard work
exactly like any wired device. No need for special drivers or
configuring bluetooth. It also means you have the keyboard available
on boot, before drivers are available, if you need to hit F1 or F12 or
DELL to update boot options or access the machine's BIOS/EFI
configuration.

Re: shrinking Windows C: drive to make room for Linux

[Michael Hennebry]

Thanks for all the help.

I have just a few more questions.
C: seems to be almost ready to shrink.
Windows' disk manager tells me disk 0 is laid out as follows:

D0P1C:   D0P4=disk 0, partition 4
100 MB   953.26 GB NTFS  509 MB
EFI  system restore
system

Should I ignore the 509 MB and just shrink C: ?
Do I need to not ignore the 509 MB?

Once upon a time I had trouble with a DOS-style disk.
After my ingeneous editing, partition 3 came
before partition 2 or some such thing.
A repeat would not be good.

Are you using bluetooth or the dongle?

I suggest updating to a current Fedora version before trying anything more.

There's no need to do that.  Just update to 36 first and then go to 38.

Getting help for a kernel/video issue?

[Chris Adams]

I have a system with an AMD RX 570, and the various kernel 6.4 releases
I've tried all kill video output - it looks like the kernel DRM doesn't
see the monitor at all.  Even before it gets to X, if I take "rhdb
quiet" off the boot line, I get kernel messages up until it tries to
switch to the framebuffer mode, I lose video then.

I filed a RHBZ bug against the kernel (since that's where I think the
problem is): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2224594

But I haven't gotten any response; I understand kernel devs are busy,
not complaining about them, but I was wondering if there might be a
better place to go.  I can test things, share more logs/info/etc., just
need some direction.

I think you may want startx or a derivative.   I use xfce4 and have both 
"startx" and "startxfce4".   says it is used to start an x 
session.  Maybe that does the initialization?

Re: shrinking Windows C: drive to make room for Linux

> I can't recall if I tried [defragmenting the file system].

It's been years since I did this, so don't know how much is still relevant

1) Disable hibernation, reboot, delete hiberfil.sys
2) Check for "shadow copies" or whatever they're called.  These are
created by Windows Update, backups, etc.  As I recall there were
several leftover that I had to manually remove.
3 Close any open programs.
4) Use "ccleaner" or a similar app to clean up temp files, etc.  Or do
it manually.
5) Use Windows "drive cleanup" or whatever it is called to get rid of
anything it can.
6) Manually delete the contents of the "Temporary Internet Files"
folder - above steps *should* have done this, but I frequently find
things leftover.
7) Reboot
8) Close any open programs.
9) Defragment the file system.  I always found "mydefrag" better at
this than Windows defragmenter.
10) Shrink the file system.
11 Reboot
12) Repeat steps 8 through 11 until you get the desired space or it
won't shrink anymore.

The key points are rebooting after doing some of the steps (so open
files are closed), and having to do multiple defragment/shrink/reboot
passes.

When closing open programs don't forget programs that are in the tray.

Probably a good idea to do a chkdsk before starting.

The only other thing I can think of is that *maybe* you do this from a
"safe boot" to minimize open files - I don't recall if I tried that or
not.

Hope this helps.

You need to provide more details on what your problem is.  I've used
