I am having issues on my new home server running Fedora WS 39. (Unresponsive sometimes, have rebooted a few times after updates to ensure that was not causing problems, and hard to RDP into at times-- sometimes I get the error “connection reset by peer” and cannot remote without rebooting.
As it is, I have to use a different app to remote into the server (as it is currently headless) than the ones I am familiar with, but it just seems the system was great until this week. Granted, I have not had a lot of time to spend on it, as I have taken on a new fulltime client in my accounting work.
I am trying to troubleshoot what exactly is causing issues and decided to first try logging into a different desktop environment (sans Wayland) but noticed I must not have any installed since there are no options at sign in.
I am a bit confused with all the “available environment groups” so I thought I would just install one I am familiar with and ran:
sudo dnf install @kde-desktop-environment
But it returned errors:
No match for group package "gimp-heif-plugin"

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
Since I am new to Fedora, what is rpmfusion-free? Which seems to be conflicting with my ability to install any desktops as I got the same results with @cinnamon-desktop.
Any suggestions on troubleshooting the system are welcome. Definitely would like to have options for logging into different DEs, though. And if I continue to have issues with the RDP method of access, I may have to hook up a permanent monitor, keyboard & mouse, but would like to keep it headless.
Thanks,
