Hi all,
Edit: I use the KDE spin of Fedora 40 (updated after I posted this) and have a Windows 10 partition. However, I am not able to boot into Windows as it doesn’t show up in GRUB.
I’ve been encountering some frustrating issues with my Fedora Linux installation and I’m hoping someone here might be able to offer some guidance or solutions. I’m gonna post them all in this thread - please tell me if I should break each issue into individual
-
Time Setting: I’ve noticed that my system time doesn’t seem to be setting correctly, even when I have automatic time synchronization enabled. The time in my BIOS is correct. Even when I try to set the time manually, it reverts back to the wrong settings.
-
Persistent Wi-Fi Password Prompts: Despite having saved my Wi-Fi password in the connection settings within KDE, I’m constantly being asked to re-enter it every time I connect. It’s a bit of a hassle, My credentials are saved.
-
Browser Rendering Issues: When using both Chrome and Firefox on Fedora, I’ve noticed that certain websites, like Arduino.cc, don’t load images or schematics properly. For example, when I try to access https://docs.arduino.cc/built-in-examples/basics/Blink/ the images fail to load. Strangely, I don’t encounter this problem when using the same browsers on my Windows desktop. I have also tried to start Firefox in “fail safe” mode without addons enable but it does not make solve the issue.
-
Dual Boot Trouble: During the installation process, I managed to break my dual boot to Windows, which didn’t happen when I initially tried out Linux Mint. The Linux Mint installer automatically managed to make my system dual boot through GRUB. However, I probably messed up in the Fedora installation process, and now I don’t know how to fix it.

Driver Discovery: Despite enabling RPM Fusion for the Nvidia Driver, I cannot find the driver in the Discover app. Is there a step I might be missing, or a different approach I should take to locate and install the Nvidia driver?

Thanks for your detailed reply.
The solution for setting the clock seem to work! Awesome.
I don’t have kWallet enabled but saving the password as unencrypted in the network settings.
Hmm, I just installed
akmod-nvidia.x86_64with dnf. Tried to run nvidia-settings in terminal. I get this error:ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded (nvidia-settings:14910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.551: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** (nvidia-settings:14910): CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.552: ctk_powermode_new: assertion '(ctrl_target != NULL) && (ctrl_target->h != NULL)' failedThe process is overcomplicated poorly.
