So does everything installed under /boot/efi come up in a menu? And does the grub.cfg in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora bring up a menu that lets you select which fedora OS to boot? That seems very straightforward. Hi,in my case, I think I have to modify grub.cfg to bring up the entries for F30, F31 and Windows. But currently my know how about Grub is to low, so I have to learn about Grub. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I guess laser is the way to go then? What are goog suggestions then? Look around for a used HP laser printer. I am using an HP1320 which I bought in May, 2005 for about $550 including an extra cartridge and tax. HP cartridges are expensive! I have no idea how many cartridges I have gone through, probably over a dozen, and it is as good as the day I bought it. Drivers are included with cups or hplip. The bare HP1320 needs a ~$30 network print server if you want to network it, otherwise a parallel port! If you want print/fax/scan, then one of the all in ones or 'MFP'. I have an HP3055 which I purchased in 2006 (to replace the fax machine which had died). I mainly use it for scanning now. It has builtin network capability. Again, the drivers are included in your basic install of cups or hplip. A good one will probably cost you $50-$75. Off-brand cartridges cost about that. ATM there is an HP P2015d for sale used on kijiji.ca in the Toronto area for $80Cdn. Physically it looks exactly like the HP1320 and has duplex capability. So... $60US??? I happen to like HP printers, but Brother printers do the same thing and are just about as dependable and long-lived. I've had Brother printers too. The best scanner I have ever used is a Brother ADS-1000. Once did over 650 pages in one continuous pass!

Remember, this system has been upgraded twice: F29 -> F30 Beta -> F31. I had very significant SELinux problems after the first upgrade to F30 Beta. I must have had a hundred "ausearch" errors I had to fix just like this one. At the suggestion of a friend, I was able to mass reset the contexts in the / filesystem.

I too have a very old (I know I've had it since before 2014 but that is as far as I remember) Brother laser printer I paid $50 shipped new.

The OP did not indicate that that root hasn't been enabled. FWIW, the OP indicated that KDE was being used. Unlike a GNOME install, the KDE install does have a prompt for enabling the root user.

Re: tried to install F30 and F31 on 2 separate Partition on 1 external disk
I've got Rawhide, F31, F30, a couple of F29 installs, Manjaro and Ubuntu 19.10 on my external HD (UEFI system). The "trick" is to mount the same efi partition at /boot/efi for all of the installations. All Fedoras share the same /boot/efi/EFI/fedora directory, whereas Manjaro and Ubuntu each get their own directory under /boot/efi/EFI. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

That's probably good general advice, but I'll just repeat that my all- in-one from Brother is just short of 6 years old and the proprietary driver still works with F31, both for scanning and printing. At the time it was markedly cheaper than the HP alternative, though that may or may not be the case now. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

It's because the /boot/efi/EFI/fedora partition can only contain one fedora OS. Chris Murphy offered some potential workarounds in that thread, but if I recall, they were not simple. I think one of them was to use systemd to boot, but I don't recall the details. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Are you saying that in the "User Manager" section of "System Settings" you have unchecked the box "Enable administrator privileges for this user"?
