With the Linux 6.15 kernel expected to be released as stable on Sunday unless Linus Torvalds has last-minute reservations, here's a look back at some of the most interesting Linux 6.15 changes.www.phoronix.com
Can't wait for GNOME 46? Here's a sneak peek into the features you get with the upgrade.Ankush Das (It's FOSS News)
I was already full Linux, but gnome is the reason I stopped messing with window managers and maybe large 4k monitors.
It finally hit enough of 'just works' and customizability to use my standard workflow.
The only thing I want that I don't have right now is horizontal monitor splits for vertical monitors.

Classic PulseAudio or the new PipeWire? What's the difference? What's the buzz about Pipewire? Learn in this explainer.Sagar Sharma (It's FOSS)
The transition for me was "install Pipewire and its pulseaudio compatibility package, remove pulseaudio, reboot."
There are a couple of quirks (updating Apparmor rules makes KDE think I've reattached all my audio devices), but it's mostly pretty smooth.

I've been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I've mainly dealt with Windows. I've worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able to RDP with multiple screens to my work laptop running Windows 10.
My hope was to be able to get this all working and create some articles on how I did it to hopefully inspire/guide others. Unfortunately, I was not successful.
I started out with Ubuntu 22.04 and I could not get the live CD to boot. After some searching, I figured out I had to go in a turn off ACPI in boot loader. After that I was able to install Ubuntu side by side with Windows 11, but the boot loader errored out at the end of the install and Ubuntu would not boot.
Okay, back into Windows to download the boot loader fixer and boot to that. Alright, I'm finally able to get into Ubuntu, but I only have 1 of my 4 monitors working. Install the NVIDIA-SMI and reboot. All my monitors work now, but my network card is now broken.
Follow instructions on my phone to reinstall the linux-modules-extra package. Back into Windows to download that because, you know, no network connections. Reinstall the package, it doesn't work. Go into advanced recovery, try restoring packages, nothing is working. I can either get my monitors to work or my network card. Never both at the same time.
I give up and decide it's time to try out Fedora. The install process is much smoother. I boot up 3 of 4 monitors work. I find a great post on installing Nvidia drivers and CUDA. After doing that and rebooting, I have all 4 monitors and networking, woohoo!
Now, let's test RDP. Install FreeRDP run with /multimon, and the screen for each remote window is shifted 1/3 of the way to the left. Strange. Do a little looking online, find an Issue on GitHub about how it is based on the primary monitor. Long story short, I can't use multiple monitor RDP because I have different resolution monitors and they are stacked 2x2 instead of all in a row. Trust me I tried every combination I could think of.
Someone suggested using the nightly build because they have been working on this issue. Okay, I try that out and it fails to install because of a missing dependency. Apparently, there is a pull request from December to fix this on Fedora installs, but it hasn't been merged. So, I would need to compile that specific branch myself.
At this point, I'm just so sick of every little thing being a huge struggle, I reboot and go back into Windows. I still have Fedora on there, but who would have thought something that sounds as simple as wanting to RDP across 4 monitors would be so damn difficult.
I'm not saying any of this to bag on Linux. It's more of a discussion topic on, yes, I agree that there needs to be more adoption on Linux, but if someone with 20 years of IT experience gets this feed up with it, imagine how your average user would feel.
Of course if anyone has any recommendation on getting my RDP working, I'm all ears on that too.
With modern CPU's supposedly shipping with 'AI cores': How long do you think it will take for a proper opensource, privacy respecting productivity tools(Something like whatever M$ copilot is supposed to be?) to be available?
Personally, i would love to see something like 'Passive' OCR integrated with the display server: the ability to pause any video and just select whatever text(even handwritten) there is naturally like it was a text document without any additional hassle will be really usefulAlso useful in circumventing any blocks certain websites put on articles to prevent text from being copied
Or an AI grammar checker running natively for LibreOffice.
What are some AI tools you think should be developed for desktop Linux?
Some of the AI related apps I've been using that are both Free Software and offline (where it runs on your computer without using network services in the cloud) are:
While all the above are graphical apps and on Flathub (some may have distro packages too), there are some additional AI/ML things you can run on Linux as well:
You can run Ollama in a container to make it even easier. Even a Podman container on your user account works. (You don't need to set it up as a system container.) The instructions for Docker work on Podman (just swap the docker command for podman instead).
While the official instructions only list CPU (which is fine for some of the smaller models) and NVidia, it's also possible to use an AMD GPU too:
# Enable device as user (run once per boot)
sudo setsebool container_use_devices=true
# Set up the ollama server for AMD acceleration (run once per session)
podman run --pull=always --replace --detach --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri --group-add video -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama:0.1.22-rocm
# Command-line interaction (run any time you want to use it — the last part is which model you want to use)
podman exec -it ollama ollama run llama2llama2 is the default ML; there are so many others available. Mixtral is a good one if you have enough vram on your GPU. Whatever you specify, it will auto-download and set it up for you. You only need to wait the first time. (The ROCm version of takes a while to download. Each model varies. The good thing is, it's all cached for subsequent uses.)If you want a web UI like ChatGPT, then you could also run this instead of the command line interaction command:
podman run -d --replace -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:mainWhen done, run podman stop ollama and podman stop ollama-webui to free up resources from your GPU.
There are also integrations for text editors and IDEs, similar to GitHub's CoPilot. Neovim has a few already. VS Code (or VS Codium) has some too (like twinny and privy).
Krita, GIMP, and Blender all have plugins that can interface with some of these too (usually using a SD Automatic111 API).
For Stable Diffusion on AMD, you need to have ROCm installed and might need to set or use an environment variable to make it work with your card. Something like:HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0 or HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 (depending on your GPU). Prefixing means just putting that at the beginning of the the command with a space and then the rest of the command. Setting it as a variable depends on your shell. You might need to export it for some (like for bash). Prefixing it is fine though, especially when you use ctrl+r to do a substrang search in your shell history (so you don't need to retype it or remember silly-long commands).
As using these image generating apps pulls down a lot of Python libraries, I'd suggest considering setting up a separate user account instead of using your own, so the app doesn't have access to your local files (like stuff in ~/.ssh/, ~/.local/, your documents, etc.). Setting up containers for these is not so easy (yet), sadly. Some people have done it. And they do run in a toolbox or distrobox podman container... but toolbox and distrobox containers don't really contain so much, so you're better off using podman (with a "docker" container) directly or running it as a separate account for some type of isolation from your user account files.
Everything else above is at least contained (via containers or Flatpak) to some degree... but stuff locally via pip installs can do anything. And it's not just hypothetical either, for example: PyTorch nightly was compromised for a few days on Christmas of 2022.
There are some graphical apps on Flathub for connecting to Stable Diffusion and a ChatGPT AI (which ollama now has)... but in the course of setting them up, you basically have a web and/or text-based UI to interact with.
Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.
What would you change?

*Please read the whole text before commenting. (There are some passages where you might want to add something, because you didn't see that it's written in a different passage.) If you read alll of it, I'm open for custructive feedback and hope there will be a constructive discussion. There was a similiar post some time ago: feddit.org/post/10309044*
I not only recently had to watch a painful infight evolving in Lemmy's comment sections. Discussions which weren't real discussions anymore and felt like an endless comment fight of people who usually have so much in common.
I think I speak for most of Lemmy if I say the following:
Fascism is on rise around the world, has grabbed power in the United States of America and threatens all of us. We –mostly leftists– were able to create a democratic oasis of digital solidarity among like-minded people. A place where everyone can raise their voice, without getting suppressed by our worst digital enemy: BigTech, a tool and puppet of global fascism.
For being threatened by fascism, you don't even have to be a leftist, nor a highly political person at all, all that matters is to believe in democracy. All democrats are welcome, no matter what political attitude they have, we are united by democracy. We are people of all genders, ages, nationalities, languages and religions, agnosticism or atheism. Everyone can talk freely about every topic, as long as one accepts other opinions (may even change their own opinion) and shares the spirit of democracy and consideration.
We built this oasis, we are united by democracy, antifascism, freedom, tolerance and independence.
And still we can't stop fighting against each other? No one here supports the rise of what hates this great community. We should stand together and share the spirit described. We certainly do to some extent, but every time we don't and instead of discussing start fighting against each other, the fascists will jump for joy, since we support their rise.
To based on facts discuss topics together is essential for us, it also is fascism's worst enemy. But to verbally tear us apart is fateful, it is one of fascism's best friends.
What divides us the most is something we have the least power to change. It's the ongoing war in Gaza. The Middle East conflicts have divided the minds of leftists/democrats like us for decades and since October 7th, 2023, one of them does even more.
Everyone has their own opinion, it's the way of democracy. Every democrat really interested in a discussion should be allowed to communicate their position. As democrats, we should discuss this topic. But let's not do it in a way that makes fascists to triumph and us to peter out in an endless fight regarding this topic which we can't really change. There are so many topics we could influence, one of the most obvious being to be a digital alternative to BigTech's platforms.
Generally:
Now to Middle East:
What we should definitely agree on is the meaning of "Zionism".
The simple definition I have in mind is: Zionism is to advocate for the foundation of a Jewish national state (as a result of the Jewish experiences during the holocaust and centuries of persecution) and thus the approval for Israel to exist (which is one of the two conditions we need for a 2 state solution). That's the most common German definition, but it doesn't really fit e.g. the US-American definition. We might distinguish between zionism and neo-zionism, etc. German "Zionismus" does NOT mean killing all non-Jews on the territory you want to establish your state. If we can't find a solution, at least keep in mind that Zionism is defined differently by different people and maybe ask the person you're discussing with, what they mean by "Zionism". I saw way to many arguments among fellow lemmings who just had different definitions of Zionism and weren't aware that their counterparts didn't have the same definition.
Another difference: Comparing some genocide like the current one in Gaza to the Holocaust/Shoa may be a different thing outside of Germany. But from a German perspective: Claiming some genocide to be like the holocaust is to trivialise the holocaust. Hear me out. The holocaust was exactly one genocide during nazi Germany's 12 years, an industiralized and detailly plannend murdering of more than 6 million people. A genocide with so many victims hasn't happend again and since nazi Germany conducted it, Germans are especially aware of the holocaust. There are no "holocausts", because it's just this single event. Holocaust remembrance isn't about ranking human suffering, it's about preserving the truth of a uniquely horrifying event so that it is never repeated — in its actual form. If you compare the holocaust and some other genocide, then the holocaust starts to be just one genocide among many others. And there's not even need for comparing them. Every genocide is a tragedy, every death. At the same time, actual German neo-nazis and/or antisemites constantly try to trivialise the holocaust, also by comparing it to other genocides or comparing the millions of German deaths during the second world war. German source. For the reasons described, most Germans (myself included) do not compare the holocaust with anything else and perceive comparsions as antisemitic. Outside of Germany this perspective doesn't seem to be shared. But now you might understand why comparsions are perceived like that by Germans. If it's forbidden in German communities to compare holocaust and Gaza, it's not because criticizing the genocide in Gaza isn't allowed. Criticizing this current genocide of course is allowed, just comparsions to the holocaust aren't.
And more concrete for the current war in Gaza, I hope we can find an agreement on the following, I copied the first part (1-49) from here and edited some minor sentence-parts.
The only ones suffering are the people of Middle East, who would suffer less with a democratic two state solution.
We as Lemmy-users should act as described earlier, constructively discuss the topic. Middle East is one little topic we do not agree on in comparsion to all the great things we can agree on. I hope this post establishes a basis we as Lemmy community can discuss on. There's so much worse in the world than fellow democrats who don't share your opinion. Don't let it divide us, let's fight fascism together.

I installed Windows 11 in Virtual Box in case I need it for school but it keeps crashing. My laptop is 12gb RAM and I gave the VM 8gb RAM.
If I upgrade my laptop RAM to maybe 16gb and give the VM 12gb RAM would that help? Thanks I'm a newb
I would consider creating a swapfile if you have an SSD. There should be countless tutorials for doing it on Ubuntu.
It might mean your windows or Ubuntu install gets sluggish, but even 32GB (less than 10% of a typical storage drive!) of spare swap space can let your active and memory-hogging processes breathe instead of invoking the SystemD-OOM killer.
For what it's worth, I think Ubuntu is also fairly aggressive with memory management. I remember complaints that it was a little too hasty to kill user processes under memory-limited scenarios. not sure if that was addressed
VMs will crash because of running out of RAM.
It sounds like that's exactly what's happening with your setup, however you probably don't need to buy more RAM to fix it.
Type free, or free -h, into a terminal to see how much RAM and swap space is being used.
Swap is a tool that allows you to use your storage drive as additional RAM when necessary. If nothing indicates swap usage when using free, then you need to enable swap space.
Ask AI "How do I enable swap on Linux" and it should give you good instructions.
I always hear that a normal computer user would never install an OS and that is the main reason Linux has not a higher market share. But I guess what we mean by that is that a user would never create a live usb, access the boot options and boot from there to install the new OS.
Is there a hard technical limitation when it comes to create a tool that installs a linux distro from a "normal" windows exe file, provided that the user first disables secure boot and fast boot (which are things a tool with admin privileges should also be able do on first run)?
Does such a tool already exist?

Installing dual boot over a default windows installation would be tricky, bordering on infeasible. Because you would need to shrink the windows partition live (which is not supported (and even if you could, requires free space and comes with meaningful risk of data loss)) and alter the UEFI boot entries, which is also very risky and engineered to be protected from unauthorised writes.
Plus windows on a dual boot-one disk system can constantly erase your Linux entries (thanks Microsoft), making it basically unusable every month without grub knowledge to restore the boot entry. So this setup won't work on many systems.
So you'll pretty much only ever be able to install to another disk. And the portion of non-savvy users with a spare, unused disk is going to be effectively nonexistent.
I've been using Tusky for browsing mastodon for a while and really enjoyed its experience. But then they moved the boost button all the way down to the bottom of the screen and that's just too much traveling for my thumb. What used to be a seamless experience has been dragged out, and enlarged to take up a quarter of the screen.
I tried switching to Husky for a few days but its missing some key functions I like about Tusky, like being able to follow and block hashtags, and change "load more" behavior to open up instead of down. It seems to be more a Plemora thing anyway.
I don't have the skills to fork Tusky, so I'm wondering if there's a way to basically undo an update. How do I get back to an earlier version?

Hey folks! I'm getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I'm planning to convert into a "cyberdeck" with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in breadboard, and other hardware hacking fun.
On the OS, I'm planning to try NixOS as a baremetal hypervisor (KVM/QEMU) and run my "primary" OSes in VMs with hardware passthrough. If perf is horrible, I'll probably switch back to baremetal after a bit. But, I'm not likely going to be gaming on it so, I'm not likely to have much issue.
Once the hypervisor is working in a manner that I like, I should have an easy time backing up, rolling back, swapping out my "desktop" OS. I've been using Linux as my pretty much my only OS for over a decade (I use MacOS as a glorified SSH client for work). Most of my time has been on distros in the Debian or RHEL families (*buntu, Linux Mint, Crunchbang, CentOS, etc) and I pretty much live in the terminal these days.
With all of this said, I am coming to you folks for help. I would like you folks to share distros, desktop environments, window managers that you think I should give a try, or would like to inflict on me and what makes them noteworthy.
I can't guarantee that I'll get through suggestions, as my ADHD has been playing up lately, but I'll give it an attempt. Seriously. If you want me to try Hannah Montana Linux, I'll do it and report back on the experience.
EDIT: Thank you all for your fantastic suggestions. I'm going to start compiling them into a list this weekend.

I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools.
While we all know Windows is the mac-daddy in the business space, are there any businesses you know or workplaces that actually Linux as a business replacement for Windows?
I.e. Mint or Ubuntu, I am not strictly talking about the server side of things.
Linux in corporation fails in multiple ways, the most prevalent is that people need to collaborate with others that use proprietary software such as MS Office that isn't available for Linux and the alternatives such as LibreOffice aren't just good enough. It all comes down to ROI, the cost of Windows/Office for a company is cheaper than the cost of dealing with the inconsistencies in format conversions, people who don't know how to use the alternative X etc etc. This issue is so common that companies usually also avoid Apple due to the same reason, while on macOS you've a LOT more professional software it is still very painful to deal with the small inconsistencies and whatnot.
Linux desktop is great, I love it, but it gets it even worse than Apple, here some use cases that aren't easy to deal in Linux:
If one lives in a bubble and doesn’t to collaborate with others then native Linux apps might work and might even deliver a decent workflow. Once collaboration with Windows/Mac users is required then it’s game over – the “alternatives” aren’t just up to it.
Windows licenses are cheap and things work out of the box. Software runs fine, all vendors support whatever you’re trying to do and you’re productive from day zero. Sure, there are annoyances from time to time, but they’re way fewer and simpler to deal with than the hoops you’ve to go through to get a minimal and viable/productive Linux desktop experience. It all comes down to a question of how much time (days? months?) you want to spend fixing things on Linux that simply work out of the box under Windows for a minimal fee. Buy a Windows license and spend the time you would’ve spent dealing with Linux issues doing your actual job and you’ll, most likely, get a better ROI.
From a more market / macro perspective here are some extra reasons:
Unfortunately things are really poised and rigged against open-source solutions and anyone who tries to push for them. The "experts" who work in consulting companies are part of this as they usually don't even know how to do things without the property solutions. Let me give you an example, once I had to work with E&Y, one of those big consulting companies, and I realized some awkward things while having conversations with both low level employees and partners / middle management, they weren't aware that there are alternatives most of the time. A manager of a digital transformation and cloud solutions team that started his career E&Y, wasn't aware that there was open-source alternatives to Google Workplace and Microsoft 365 for e-mail. I probed a TON around that and the guy, a software engineer with an university degree, didn't even know that was Postfix was and the history of email.

Trying to install VPN and these are the instructions Mullvad is giving me. This is ridiculous. There must be a more simple way. I know how to follow the instructions but I have no idea what I'm doing here. Can't I just download a file and install it? I'm on Ubuntu.
I like them, even for software installation. Partially because they're lazy - it takes almost no effort to write a bash script that will solve a problem like this.
That said a flatpak (like you proposed) would look far more polished, indeed.

Hi, everybody
Recently, a guy noticed that I was using it and asked why?
For me it because in Linux many things are done through the terminal because Linux has many different desktop environments
He also compared terminal commands with cheat codes in GTA and other games, he understands what benefits you take from them, but not from terminal commands
For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new big desktop replacement gaming laptop, and looking at the market there are almost exclusively Nvidia powered.
I was wondering about the state of their new open-source driver. Can I run a plain vanilla kernel with only open source / upstream packages and drivers and expect to get a good experience? How is battery life, performance? Does DRI Prime and Vulkan based GPU selection "just work"?
The only alternative new for my market is a device with an Intel Arc A730M, which I currently think is going to be the one I end up buying.
Edit 19/11: Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Since the reactions were quite mixed - "it works perfectly for me" vs "it's a unmaintainable mess that breaks all the time", I'm going to err on the side of caution and look elsewhere. I found a used laptop with an AMD Radeon RX 6700M, which I'm going to check out the coming days. If not, I've also found Alienware sells their m16 laptop with an RX 7600M XT, which might be a good buy for me (I currently still rock an Alienware 17R1 from 2013 with an MXM card from a decomissioned industrial computer in it).
Link to article: gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb…
This OUTDATED article gets posted all the time. The full story is the guy is a massive FreeBSD fan so he is trying to convince more people to keep on using Xorg because he wants to make sure it isn't abandoned. Reason for that being that Wayland is built with Linux in mind and would not work under FreeBSD without a lot of effort bwing put in as it uses some Linux-specific components or libraries.
Let's go through the article point by point:
....so what works on DE 1, doesn't necessarily work on DE 2: True, because oftentimes, it doesn't need to. Not implementing features can lead to a more lean and streamlined software solution. However, sometimes features are necessary and only implemented in some compositors. This usually happens because the universal solution is not ready. KDE are often known to do this with Plasma and KWin.
In terms of the applications, I'm not aware of many of them, and for this sort of application, I'm sire alot of work is required to change the graphical backend, so I understood that some smaller projects gave up, but OBS has been working on Wayland for quite a while. Is it perfect? I don't think so, but back when Brodie Robertson was using Hyprland, he was recording his videos using OBS. This article is quite outdated.
As the update shows, Jitsi now does work on Wayland.
Zoom only seemed to work on gnome, BUT if you open up the Link to the zoom issue and read through the comments, there is clearly a person that clearly states that they changed /etc/os-release from PureOS to debian and it worked for them, all because of some pointless limitations enforced by the Zoom developers. As the person posting the issue states "Currently, the zoom application has put an arbirtrary restriction on screensharing so it ONLY works on GNOME, when the api being used works on all wayland desktops." Read that again. It's a pointless restriction put there by the Zoom team because they couldn't be bothered to test anything non-GNOME.
And the last issue is a problem with the article writer's own appimage. I don't know about that one.
As stated IN YOUR FACE, it is an application that works on X11 only. Yes, Wayland is not made to use such applications, but it doesn't mean they can't exist. Every heard of ydotool (remember that name)? Now you have.
Next up, we have 3 issues about GNOME and KDE global menus (1 for GNOME, 2 for KDE). From the little I know about global menus and using these projects, as well as considering that they are both incredibly stable on Wayland and Fedora KDE will be dropping Xorg completely, I think it's safe to assume these issues have probably been fixed. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: As multiple Intel users have pointed out in the comments, there seem to be no issues on Wayland with Intel hardware.
Edit: And yet, it seems that there are Wayland compositors for FreeBSD, so the above might only be true for OpenBSD and others.
Quote from article: "As it currently stands minor WMs and DEs do not even intend to support Wayland given the sheer complexity of writing all the code required to support the above features. "
DEs: GNOME, KDE, MATE, XFCE, Cinnamon, Budgie, Enlightenment, and recently even Pantheon have either announced to start work on, have started work on, or already support Wayland.
Window managers: Qtile is doing it. Xmonad wants to hire a dev to do it. Dwm has a spiritual successor called dwl. i3 has a drop-in replacement called sway. Openbox has 2 spiritual successors called labwc and waybox. Now you might notice one of the biggest WMs is missing on here: AwesomeWM, which is such a shame. The Awesome devs have said they would be okay with someone taking on that challenge (which has already been attempted, as evidenced by the existence of way-cooler), but it seems that they wouldn't do it themselves.
As for the projects mentioned in the article, (JWM, TWM, XDM, IceWM) they are too small and obscure, and will likely fade away with Xorg.
Edit: As pointed out by some people in the comments, there are also alternatives to xclip like wl-clipboard.
And that concludes my response to this article based on my fairly limited knowledge on the topic. If I got anything wrong, please, please let me know. As you can see my knowledge is quite limited, and as such, any corrections (preferably backed up with evidence) would be appreciated

I ended up manually running the steam console as described here. Still wasn't able to use the gui to add a drive but I was able to use the console command to do it manually. Then I restarted to make sure everything was working. On starting steam again it was gone! So I full exited steam and opened console again, and somehow it was there! So I set the option under settings to start on boot thinking that it'd run the console edition again on boot and I could live with that.
Well it turns out somehow there are now 2 steam installs on my computer. I'm not gonna touch it since it's working, but my working theory is somehow running the console created a second steam on my pc. It did act like it was doing a full install the first time I booted on command line. Weird. But like I said it's working now. I may poke at it later and see if I can uninstall the redundant one, but I kinda don't wanna poke it.

Conceptually I can understand that Termux cant take a photo or video from a camera device because it doesnt have access to the camera drivers that Android has....
...except that the Termux API does allow you to take a photo. So why is video off limits?
like this
Probably because it still uses the android camera API to do so rather than directly access /dev/video0.

I'm sure it is possible to add a video capture to the API 😉

proceedWithOpenCamera), it looks like the CameraDevice object might offer a lot more capture modes that just aren't being tapped into. Is it just a programming issue, or does Android only offer Photo contexts but not Video ones, or...?
The full error for anyone having issues with the screenshot is:
Installation Failed
Bootloader installation error
The bootloader could not be installed. The installationc ommand
grub2-install -target=i386-pc -recheck -force /dev/nvme0n1
returned error code 1.
Context:
I've had a hell of a rough time trying to install linux on my system, I've tried Pop, 2 versions of Ubuntu, Mint, and now I'm trying Nobara, and it's the first one that failed to install (I've mostly had video driver issues with the others.) My current disk situation is kind of a mess, I have 4 in the system:
1. ~15 year old OCZ SATA 128GB SSD (windows/boot)
2. ~10 year old WD SATA 512GB SSD (windows libraries like pictures, documents, downloads, etc)
3. ~6 month old Samsung 990 EVO 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD (games installed from windows)
4. ~5 year old BPXPro 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (previous Ubuntu install that I had other issues with)
#1 is my boot drive and has the bootloader on it (when I want to boot ubuntu I hit F11 and select the second entry for that drive in the menu.) Previous distro installs have had no problem installing right over top of that and disk #4, but for whatever reason Nobara has failed to install the boot loader and I have no idea how to even begin to resolve this. I've done some searching and only found results with similar situations that aren't quite the same, it seems this is commonly an issue with linux installs into partitions of a drive that is shared with windows, but that's not what I'm doing (at least not for the main install, I guess that is kind of what it's doing with the bootloader?)
I can manually erase disk #4 if that would help, but is there some way I can manually go in and clear out the old bootloader (without messing up the windows install/boot)?
Other specs in case it's relevant:
* Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9GHz 8-core CPU
* 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM
* Gigabite Vision OC 12 RTX3060 GPU

As the title says I am trying to get my handbrake to recognize as a joystick so I can use it.
Running Arch.
This is the device in question.

I found this bit of information but it's related to openSUSE and is quite old but I'm hoping it might help.
spinics.net/lists//linux-input…
It doesn't show up in /dev/input/...
Any ideas on how I could get this thing recognized so I can use it?
Update 1:
I got connected with someone at the Simracing space on matrix per the advice from @lemonuri@lemmy.ml and they helped me to get it working. Here is what we did.
Create the file 99-handbrake.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d and add the two following lines to it.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="1021", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="1888", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 1021 1888 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/new_id'"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1021", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1888", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
This forces the device to usbhid as a joystick whenever it is plugged in and recognized.
Run the following command to reload the device rules if you don't want to reboot. Otherwise you can omit the command and reboot.
sudo udevadm control --reload
It now shows up and is working.
So the device was registering a button at the end of the pull and showing up as an Xbox controller while not recognizing the axis being moved so it was all or nothing.
I installed protopedal and following advice created a dummy device which remapped the inputs so that it registers the analog input only which worked.
protopedal --name "handbrake" -b JOYSTICK -a THROTTLE -s 0:THROTTLE -a Y --no-auto-buttons --no-auto-axes /dev/input/by-id/usb-ZSC_ODDOR-HANDBRAKE-event-joystick
Update 2:
All credit goes to JacKeTUs for his work on helping me out. He is making/made the driver for this. It may go into AUR for Arch users, so if anyone ends up looking for support for this handbrake you can find the source at the below link.
github.com/JacKeTUs/hid-oddor-…
This will install the driver (currently it needs to be loaded after running sudo make) and the udev rule. It eliminates the need for protopedal but does require launch options to be set.
SDL_JOYSTICK_WHEEL_DEVICES=0x1021/0x1888 %command%
Update 3:
Latest push eliminates the need for steam launch option and removes the button from the device.
Contribute to JacKeTUs/hid-oddor-handbrake development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
I am pretty sure you need to configure more (fake) buttons for the handbrake, I had the same problem. Otherwise it does not get recognized as a gaming device.
I can look up later how I solved this or you can ask the simracing linux community, which helped me with a couple of similar pronlems before:

So anything I said below was all a lie, it turns out that the issue was kde and my monitors, which are 240hz. I swapped to gnome and the issue disappeared, and then I installed bazzite kde on a second drive and the issue reappeared. Setting my refresh rate to 120hz stopped the flickering and upon setting it back to 240hz I do notice an appreciable decrease in artifacting. I have no idea what to do with this information, but if anyone is experiencing this try just decreasing your refresh rate for your monitors.
Howdy,
Just installed Nobara again and am trying to figure out why this is happening. I think it's a firefox thing since I haven't seen it happen in any other application; basically anytime I do a lot of scrolling, the firefox window breaks down and I can see my desktop background behind it. It always happens in the bottom right cornerish part of the window. I'm up to date on all updates as far as I'm aware. I did some googling and checking out the nobara discord but I couldn't find anything related. I tried recording my screen via spectacle to show the issue, but it wouldn't capture the issue.
Any help would be appreciated; I am a linux beginner so dumbing down any info you have would be nice. Thanks!
Thanks for the response, definitely helpful! My follow up to that would be I'm still not sure how updating would work if I run the command you posted. Once I run that in the terminal, how do I know when there is an update for firefox? Will firefox just tell me like in windows, and update itself? Do I need to run a specific command in the terminal to prompt updates?
While I have you here too, I've just found one more bug that's been bothering me... In the application launcher, when I try to use the scroll bar the cursor won't select the bar itself, instead just defaulting to resizing the window. Any ideas on that? It's kind of a pain but I could live with it. Googling again didn't really bring up anything conclusive. Here's a clip to see what I'm talking about. Thank you again!
If the grahical app store has asked for a password when updating, like on normal Fedora (what Nobara is based on), all programs installed with sudo dnf install <program(s)> are also updated. A update to native packages can also be ran with sudo dnf upgrade. Flatpaks can be updated from the app store or with flatpak update. (no sudo, as that just raises the privileges for the next command, like dnf)
Sorry, I don't know about the scroll issue. The scroll wheel on a mouse or dragging 2 fingers on a touchpad should still work.
TL;DR:
If you are prompted for a password when updating, everything's fine. This should be the case for you, as Nobara is based on Fedora, which supports this. Otherwise, you have to run sudo dnf upgrade or equivalent for your distributions's package manager.
Japan’s agriculture minister has resigned after saying he never buys rice because he gets it free, a remark that drew public fury in a country facing soaring food prices.Taku Etō’s resignation has added to pressure on the prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, whose failure to rein in soaring rice prices and address a wider cost of living crisis has angered voters ahead of upper house elections in July.
“Just now I submitted my resignation to prime minister Ishiba,” Etō told reporters at the prime minister’s office.
Etō had faced calls for his resignation after claiming that he never had to buy rice, relying instead on gifts from supporters.
Etō had initially sympathised with the “hardship” felt by consumers after the government released about 300,000 tons of rice from emergency stockpiles earlier this year in the hope of bringing down prices. But speaking at a fundraiser last weekend, Etō said he had “never bought rice myself because my supporters donate so much to me that I can practically sell it”.

I recently wiped Windows in favor of CachyOS, and it's been lovely! However, I have one outstanding issue that I can't seem to figure out.
To start, I have a Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX motherboard. I followed the guide on the Arch Wiki for my particular chipset.
I still can't seem to control my cooling fans.
* I have lm_sensors installed
* I installed CoolerControl
* I used modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628
* I tried adding the .conf files to /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/modules-load.d/
* When the steps above didn't work, I installed the it87-dkms-git package
No matter what I've tried, the only time the fan sensors get detected is when I also specify acpi_enforce_resources=lax in GRUB. From what I barely understand, that's not an option you want to leave on permanently, but perhaps y'all know better or have other ideas.
If it helps:
* Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX
* Latest CachyOS kernel
* Boot: GRUB
Edit: I have a semi-solution.
sudo modprobe it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1Also note that it should have been 0x8688 in my case, as revealed by sensors-detect.
Edit 2: Added
/etc/modules-load.d/it87.conf
it87
And
/etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
options it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1
Unfortunately, this didn't fix it, either before or after. sensors-detect can see the ITE chipset, but it says
Trying family 'ITE'...
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688(Also, I realize that I was using the incorrect ID before, but it seemed to work anyway.)
I think this is the way we should communicate, when presented with the question on how to get on Mastodon:
Copy paste from the link:
How do I use Mastodon?
- Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.
- Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)
- Follow people, and get posting.
Why do tech journalists say it’s too confusing to catch on?
I have no fucking idea.
EDIT for clarification, don't take this too seriously:
This “guide” is a bit of a joke made out of frustration. If you actually want to know more, including why I feel it has potential to free us from the dystopian hellscape that is modern social media, here is the “real” guide to Mastodon. It still uses simple language (and has lots of pictures!):

FediForum has a new date and a new board
The fifth edition of FediForum has been rescheduled, and will be held on June 5-7. The event was originally planned for early April, but got cancelled at the last-minute after transphobic posts by one of the co-organisers of the event were surfaced. FediForum held two sessions in the meantime with the community on how the event should move forward. One of the outcomes is that there is now an advisory board for FediForum with people from the community. For this edition of FediForum, I will be hosting a session on what’s been going on in the fediverse in 2025. The network is constantly changing and evolving, and this session is intended to get you up to speed on what’s been happening in the last half year. More information on that soon.
Bandwagon talks about monetisation and sustainability
Bandwagon is a fediverse music sharing platform that’s currently in development, where artists can share their music. They are currently working on online album sales, and Bandwagon is committed to making this feature available without taking any transaction fees. In order for the project to be sustainable, Bandwagon is a paid 10$/month paid premium plan which will enable online album sales and higher bitrate streaming. At the same time, creator Ben Pate is also committed to keeping the software open source, and says that the project needs other Bandwagon servers to exist if the project is to be successful. – Bandwagon.fm
Discourse and the fediverse
Forum software Discourse has posted a blog talking about how they have integrated ActivityPub into their forums. They explain how Discourse forums can now select per category if it is federated, and thus followable by other fediverse software. It also shows what Discourse-to-Discourse federation looks like, allowing 2 forums to cooperate with each other. Federated forums require a mindset shift as have to get used to seeing forum posts in their microblogging timelines. Forum software like Discourse and NodeBB have made great strides in the technological capabilities regarding what’s possible with federated forums. Now people have to find out and experience what these technological features enable in practical use cases for people.
Bonfire slowly moves towards a 1.0 release
Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform, with a core functionality of microblogging with a focus on extensibility. In their latest update about how the platform is moving to a 1.0 release, Bonfire talks about the values and intentions of the platform, writing: “In a world of ‘move fast and break things,’ we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.”
Bonfire has taken a deliberate and mindful approach to software development, but their own description of “Slow Software” seems fairly accurate as well, as the team has talked about getting ready for a 1.0 release in the next few months since at least September 2023.
FediDB onboarding
Fediverse statistics site FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an onboarding tool to help people get started with the fediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration.
The onboarding tool is sleekly designed, and streamlines the signup process by boiling it down to a few essential questions that the user needs to answer. However, this also showcases the issues that the fediverse has with onboarding new users: picking a platform and picking a server are meaningful choices that are hard to fully grasp the impact from as a new user. When it comes to picking a platform, the tool lists a few features for each platform, but comparing the relevance of these features is hard to do as an outsider. And when it comes to picking servers, the challenge is that servers themselves often do not publish relevant information that is needed to make an informed choice of which server to pick.
Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech
Saskia Welch from Newsmast writes about Mastodon and the fediverse at the recent International Journalism Festival. A consistent challenge remains to put all the lofty ideals about healthy social networks into practice, with Welch noting: “However, joining the platform continues to be a barrier for many users. A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.” – WeDistribute/Saskia Welch
Owncast turns 5
The fediverse streaming platform Owncast turns 5 years this month, with a new merch store. One of the challenges of FOSS projects such as Owncast is the sustainability, and Owncast creator Gabe Kangas “at one point exhausted his personal savings so he could work on Owncast full-time.” Kangas says that now “people want to be around in meaningful ways. From the newsletter, core code contributions, the Roku app, people answering questions in chat, people brainstorming in GitHub, it’s important for it to be bigger than myself”. – Owncast Newsletter/Kit Rhett Aultman

Hey folks!
We’re a small community working on a new Fediverse-based platform with privacy-friendly services, aimed at making onboarding easier—especially for Indian users.
We're still in early stages and would love your input on what you'd actually like to see.
If you're interested, you can fill out this short survey to help guide our direction:

We aren't hosting it all, as of right now. We'll be picking a few services and scale as required. As for why we're doing it at all is because we have seen for there to be a very few such initiatives in our region and aim to promote the conversation about foss and privacy through our efforts in providing alternative services.
The whole point of fediverse is to decentralise and federate it, so it doesn't make sense to just keep using existing servers!
We plan to use personal hardware and aim to minimise costs wherever possible!

Article discussing the push for passkeys as an alternative to passwords, including numerous problems associated with passkeys like big companies agenda, complicated proprietary implementations, vendor lock-in requirements and dependency on smartphone…www.dedoimedo.com
A lot of incorrect assumptions in this article. If you don't like the idea of a key exchange over passwords, I hope you use password auth when you SSH into things 😁
The word passwordless is nonsense. In most cases, most passkey implementations, you need a PIN to unlock your private key to authenticate. PIN = password, except it's numbers only. Nonsense. Passkeys simply obfuscate the problem and move it somewhere else, most often into a PROPRIETARY key management tool. For example, Microsoft wants you to use THEIR authenticator app. Not just any app that adheres to the standard. Nope. This effectively means super-vendor-lock-in. Absolute nonsense.
You can argue that the term "password less" is nonsense, but there is literally nothing about the spec that prevents you from using passkeys as they were designed: with hardware keys that support the open FIDO2 authentication protocol. Yes, you still need a second factor to verify the authentication attempt (via a PIN), but unless you're mailing that key to hackers, the private key generated by your SoloKey, NitroKey, or another open source hardware key, is more secure than any password ever will be.
Passkeys usually require a phone - this is a single point of failure, and one that gives the big companies extra control over you. Phone, number, SIM, and so forth. A beautiful bevy of data. The whole idea of actually having to use your phone as an identity vector is horrible.
Phones support storing passkeys. Phones also support storing passwords. In no way does this mean you must use them for this. You can either use hardware keys, or you can use your favorite open source password manager to store passkeys where you should already be storing your passwords anyway.
You need "biometrics" to supposedly prove you're you to unlock your private key. Biometrics are a form of password, except you can't replace it, and it also gives yet more of your personal data to the big companies. More nonsense.
This is literally a direct contradiction of what the author said in their first bullet point. Use a PIN if you don't like using biometric auth.
The implementation of passkeys is fragmented, vendor-specific, and complicated. Only diehards who love technology can use this. The same kind of people who were "all in" when IoT/cloud crap came out, and now they see their smart homes slowly go offline as big vendors almost arbitrarily cut support for old gadgets and effectively kill products. Because cloud.
Most of this is actually a fair critique. The FIDO Alliance is still working on the spec, and I think they should require any implementation of passkeys to follow the spec to a tee without adding any kind of nonstandard bullshit to their authentication.
However, most advancements in tech begin with only appealing to enthusiasts and later become adopted by wider audiences. It doesn't make them bad that they aren't immediately popular with everyone.
Passkeys only solve one use case - phishing where the user inputs their password and MFA into a fake site.
I'm glad the author can at least recognize that there's at least one thing that passkeys solve that passwords can't. But it's not the only thing. When you enter a password on a site, you're hoping like hell that the service you're using hashes it and hashes it properly. When you authenticate with passkeys, you're sending the site a public key. This key will have way more entropy than any password will, so anyone trying to crack a hashed public key is in for a long, miserable time (obviously not impossible though). But even if they wasted their time doing that, it's a public key. Who cares?
Any service you use passkeys with instead of passwords won't put you in another leaked password database. ~~The public key just needs to be invalidated and~~ you can move on with your life.
Decentralization is obviously the big thing about the Fediverse but is it TOO decentralized to gain traction?
There is no reason why they have to be fully separate domains in the same branch. You can set up a system of fully independent moderation and extreme levels of customization while having them all on one site with a front page that allows everyone to see whats popular.
A front page wouldn't prevent individual subgroups from requiring approval to join, it wouldn't prevent subgroups from banning those it doesn't want. It doesn't prevent users from blocking subgroups that it doesn't want to see on the front page.
What would be most useful is that now someone could create an account on the Reddit, Twitter, Facebook(?) alternatives and give them access to every community, and then allow each community to set its own rules, and customize its own to be unique while having a unified product to "sell" and get people to move.
Hot take? Blue Sky should be worked with to join the Fediverse as the twitter alternative and Mastodon should work to be the Facebook alternative
TLDR: One front page and general site for Lemmy, Mastodon....and to sign up and see whats popular and then have fully independent subgroups.

The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.
which is the "appropriate" jurisdiction?
what if it's legal in my country, but it is illegal in the country where the server is? I have no other choice of server, you're taking away our ability to join servers in our own countries
like this
Still too problematic, as what is legal and not in the EU depends on the trendy neo-nazi party du jour. Check Germany, for one, where apparently showing any disapproval of Israel gets you Gestapo'd, or that's what Lemmy administrators in Europe seem to fear. Or Italy / Spain, where any attempt to liberate sports transmissions gets half the internet shut down.
Oh, did I even mention Turkiye?
Honestly, I've always been of the opinion that projects that are intended to be truly international need to build up to some sort of "all humanity" jurisdiction or international waters jurisdiction. Since it's not like the UN is going to provide any sort of aid here.
It won't get bad there it's the richest country and has direct democracy, CHF 5,430 post tax median salary. There's nothing for an authoritarian party to say to convince voters who are the wealthier people (actual citizens) of Switzerland
Also the average assets for adults is over $800K they're too rich to fall to power hungry parties
Then make the "one true frontpage" for Lemmy or whatever (implement ActivityPub, maybe borrowing some code from the Lemmy codebase itself, or kindof making a fork of Lemmy), and if it's good, it'll be used. If not, it won't.
But then, it might well fall victim to this phenomenon:
Lemmy has lots of competing "front pages." How will one more change anything? A more generic domain name or something?

So after trying out Mint on my old laptop for a few months I wanted to go straight to Linux on my new build what with it being surprisingly user friendly once past the initial jank.
---The build---
MOBO: Gigabyte b850 aorus elite wifi7
CPU: AMD 9950X3D
GPU: Powercolour 9070xt
RAM Corsair vengance 64GB 5200MHz DDR5
Storage: WD Black SN850X 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD
So naturally everything is now on fire.
I started with Mint Cinnamon edition which did install after some initial teething (Boot USB on safemode) but just refused to work with the wifi adapter on that motherboard, it also couldn't see the GPU but I never got to trying to resolve that since the Mint setup is pretty wifi dependant and I wasn't sure it wouldn't fix itself once it could finish sorting itself out.
I then had a friend who's been using Linux for 10 years (Some distro called tumbleweed?) reccomend I try Ubuntu as it generaly supports more hardware. It did work with wifi right out of the box but had this weird issue where it could recognize my GPU and load the right driver but then just give up and use the IGPU on my CPU anyway. Also janky with software with steam (Which I never had issues with on Mint on my laptop) just refusing to work properly and at one point getting into a cage match with snap, even when installed from steams own website rather than the application manager (with an uninstall of the old one in between of course)
We spent a good couple of hours getting slapped with weird behaviours and bugs my friend had never seen before until calling it a day.
So once again I'm here politely asking what the fuck linux!? Seriously though what do I do here, I can just about manage running windows software on afformentioned laptop mint install but linux as a whole just seems to hate this hardware setup.
Alright I'm just going with a stripped down version of windows 10, I've spent 2 days trying things from here and from that friend and from random forum posts of people with the same issue and at this point it seems no one has a consistent fix and I don't feel like building an entire operating system from scratch (nor would I know how)

For Debian bookworm, the non-free AMD graphics drivers firmware-amd-graphics date from 20230210 (backported: 20241210) and for trixie 20250410.
I don't know how up to date the amd firmware versions in the Ubuntu release are.

Today I found out that on this platform, "block" is just a fancy word for "filter". Just had an individual user go through my entire profile and downvote everything. So I blocked them, thinking that this would make me safe from any future stalking. But I was just informed that no, any user that you 'block' is actually still able to see everything that you post and vote freely.
All that 'blocking' actually does is hide the person from you. But they're still free to stalk and do as they please. I just tested this out for myself using my other account and sure enough, it's true.
I just want to know, how is this acceptable? I bet you that if I called out this user publically, I would probably end up in hot water myself for harassment or something. And yet 'blocking' is completely fkn useless too. So what recourse does a user actually have here when faced with a hostile user that wants to ruin their experience on Lemmy?
Coming from Blåhaj, I thought I would try 'moderating' my own experience for a bit. But you can't 'moderate' your own experience if the tools to do so are fkn useless and only trick you into thinking that something has been achieved, without actually doing anything useful.
And now I'm starting to see a new value in instances like Blåhaj. Because you actually need admins that give a shit around here or else you're just left to the wolves on a platform that seems more interested in protecting abusive users than allowing users to protect themselves.
Edit: watching you all upvote the person talking shit about how this works on other platforms while downvoting the actual correct information that comes with a source has certainly taught me a thing or two about this platform and the people on it. You all actually prefer misinformation to fact as long as it suits your vibe or opinion more. Like a bunch of fkn MAGAs. I really wish there was a way to disable notifications for this post (another feature missing here) because watching you people upvote misinformation is enough to make me no longer give a flying fuck what anyone here says or thinks.

I think the utility of blocking people on a public platform is kind of fake anyway. If someone is harassing you, and you block them, it's obvious that you did it so they'll just log out and suddenly they can see your posts again. Accounts are trivial to make on the fediverse too so they can always just spin up a new one to harass you.
I think silent filtering is better for that reason because they can't tell that you did it so they won't just immediately switch to a new account and keep going.
Active blocking like you're talking about only makes sense if there's such a thing as "follower-only" posts imo. Otherwise it's a false sense of security because they can see everything anyway just by logging out or switching to another account.

Hi everyone,
as my thread from yesterday about shredding SSD's the right way already was very helpful, another follow-up topic came to my mind, which may also be interesting for me and maybe others too.
Since many PC's often use SSD's and less harddrives nowadays it may be interesting to discuss the full-disk encryption of it.
First of all some questions, which came to my mind:
- Does the encryption of a SSD decrease its performance (read/write-speed) significantly?
- How does the encryption affect the wear-leveling of the SSD and what should be considered to ensure a safe encryption?
- Will functionalities like hibernation still work? Are maybe other functionalities affected in a negative way?
I already successfully full-disk encrypted my old laptop (harddrive) with the instructions from StackExchange.
My computer has a 1TB SSD + 1TB harddrive and I wish to encrypt completely everything, that's not technically necessary. I want to use Debian as my distro.
Could this instruction work the same way as with harddrives?
I'm interested in your knowledge about this.
~sp3ctre
That is block based encryption
isn't all the disk encryption standards supported by cryptsetup are like that? so LUKS1, veracrypt, bitlocker, etc
As far as I understand it with LUKS1 the whole partition is filled with random looking data and when something changes it does so at random points which doesn't let you see how much data really changed or how much is actually useful data.
But my knowledge is really really spotty, so I might have understood something incorrectly.

Everything seems fine, but I have no network access 😅 happened after I restarted for a System update. Can't figure out what is wrong - help please 😊 Wired connection.Enabled Wifi, but same problem; connect but cannot reach gateway. (other computers and pads are connected, and they work fine).
Today we’re very excited to announce the open-source release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This is the result of a multiyear effort to prepare for this, and a great closure to the first ever issue raised on the Microsoft/WSL repo:Windows Developer Blog
From the repo's CONTRIBUTING.md:
Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
Meh, a permissive license + a copyright transfer means this shit is just a potential rugpull. MSFT can change the license of the project to source-available or even proprietary at any time and you'll be powerless to stop it.
CLA is basically a requirement for any larger scale open source project. It would be mental to add a "this single edited line is licensed under X license" to every tiny commit. Microsoft's CLA does not tranfer rights btw, it just licenses your contribution to M$ under "basically BSD 0 clause license" terms.
I guess sure they could do a ragpull but it does not make much sense. Reasons:
1) they have open sourced it themselves
2) It's made by M$ for M$. They don't have competition in the Windows space, so there is no point to hide the code.
Also what would be the worst thing that could happen if they did that? You would either use a fork, because WSL2 is basically feature complete at this points, or you would be have to use a proprietary app on a proprietary OS. Imo the licensing of WSL specifically is the least of Windows' issues.
You absolutely do not need a CLA with a copyright transfer. There are plenty of large projects that use a Developer Certificate of Origin that protects the company while not allowing them to change the license of your contribution.
I'll grant that my original post was pissy and angry and not a great take, however. You make good points here.
Does the DCO really offer a real guarantee? it looks like it just adds a Signed-off-by John line at the end of the commit, with no actual signature checking that enforces any particular version of a particular document is being acknowledged. IANAL but it doesn't look like something proven to work in court to give legal protection.
Sure, it's easier to simply add a sign-off-by line than actually accepting a legal agreement, so it reduces the barrier of entry, but if this were really enough to establish the conditions to shift liability then I don't see why companies wouldn't start using their own DCOs and extending them, essentially being the equivalent to a CLA (which is a license agreement, not a copyright transfer, even if some might add terms that allow relicensing.. which anyway is moot point when the original license is MIT anyway).
These are good points. I was in a shitty mood when I made my comment and upon reflection, it's an overstatement and not a very good take. I do still strongly support copyleft licenses and DCOs over CLAs, but I shouldn't turn my nose up when something is released without those.
I used to be excited when companies open-sourced stuff, and that is no longer the case. I suppose I'm just frustrated and bitter and cynical when it comes to large companies doing good things.
MADRID (AP) — Spain has ordered Airbnb to block more than 65,000 holiday listings on its platform for having violated rules, the Consumer Rights Ministry said Monday.
The ministry said that many of the 65,935 Airbnb listings it had ordered to be withdrawn did not include their license number or specify whether the owner was an individual or a company. Others listed numbers that didn’t match what authorities had.
Spain is grappling with a housing affordability crisis that has spurred government action against short-term rental companies.

I'd been using ZFS with Void linux on both my laptop and desktop for a couple of months. And ZFS is cool! But I'm thinking not great for my use case, especially for my laptop with it's more constrained resources. Memory usage was a real problem, even after imposing low ARC limits. And the kernel module compile time was long enough to be a bit annoying, especially for a few kernels (I like to keep the last few around, to be safe) as it happens fairly often on a rolling release.
I switched the laptop to LUKS/btrfs a couple of days ago. And I'm thinking that was the correct choice for that. And now I'm considering doing the same for my desktop. As they seem comparable but btrfs is in-kernel and seemingly more system resource friendly. But before doing so I figured I'd ask the community about it. Maybe some important factors or features for either setup that I might not be considering.
Here's the stuff I care about. All of which both offer, but I'm not an expert at either and I don't know how equal they are.
Edit: typo in title.
IME, btrfs is easier to work with than ZFS. It has all of the features you asked for; its RAID ≠ 0/1/10 are buggy, but 0/1/10 are considered reliable. In the past year, I heard a rumor that they were going to announced RAID > 1 to be also stable, but that's hearsay; I haven't read anything authoritative on the subject - the Arch btrfs page and the btrfs man page both still say 5/6 are not reliable.
I've been using btrfs on a variety of computers and VMs, from tiny little ODROIDS, to laptops, to VPSes, to desktops for... over a decade? I've had much better reliability than ext4. I was attracted to the POLS of the commands, vs ZFS.
I don't know how much my opinion weighs; I have a feeling a data center person would suggest ZFS as being more "enterprise". I've been really happy with it. I've been watching bcachefs for the caching and target options - really neat features useful for home gamers - but otherwise I wouldn't bother - btrfs has been solid and done everything I could want. It was a huge upgrade from mdadm and lvm in UX, and was only possible when disks got so cheap they outpaced my need for RAID5, and I could afford multiple backup drives that held years worth of nightly incremental backups.
Hearing roughly a decade of successful use, especially on systems with constrained resources, certainly makes me lean further towards btrfs.
its RAID ≠ 0/1/10 are buggy, but 0/1/10 are considered reliable.btrfs has been solid and done everything I could want. It was a huge upgrade from mdadm and lvm
@ikidd@lemmy.world said that btrfs is poor at software RAID. I'll do a little research in to how it fares for RAID 1 vs mdadm. I don't see any reason I couldn't do mdadm>luks>btrfs if that's the better choice. But if btrfs is reliable and with comparable performance, I'd certainly rather do that.
I have no doubt ZFS is solid, too, FWIW. I leaned toward btrfs because it was simple, the commands straightforward and clear, nothing required more than one step - this is all super valuable to me because there are other things I want to spend my time on than fiddling with the filesystem.
@ikidd@lemmy.world said that btrfs is poor at software RAID.
You should check for yourself. I haven't used software RAID in years - RAID 0+1 gives me no value - but the btrfs team and Arch wiki say 0, 1, and 10 are solid. You should not use 5 or 6, as they're known to be buggy and even the btrfs man page tells you to not use it. So, yeah? btrfs is poor at RAID 5/6; to my understanding, it's good at 0/1/10.
btrfs can do encryption, compression, snapshots, and some RAID. I found combining mdadm and lvm and FS built a jenga tower, of which if part failed, the entire end result was borked. I once did an OS upgrade and lost the mdadm config, and spent two days recreating it. I never used it on a new machine after that. Separation of concerns is great, but having an all-in-one that can self repair and boot into snapshots is better.
I can't speak to performance. No doubt Toms of someone like that's looked into that in detail.
btrfs because it was simple
Personally I found ZFS far more simple. The userspace tools make more sense to me. Also I like, that volumes can have a default (relative) mount point attached. So in a recovery scenario, I simply have to open the zpool with a relative bath path, and then have all my volumes ready to go. If I want to recover a btrfs system with multiple subvolumes, I typically need to know exactly which ones and where to I have to mount (each individually).
Also I go really used to zfsbootmenu.
if you have a look at the btrfs mailing lists post that introduced RAID1c34, they were created because RAID56 were not considered viable or fixable. It's in couched language but reasonably clear. I don't think you're thinking of using those (RAID56) but don't.
Never had any btrfs problems that weren't self generated or date from a really sticky period in btrfs's history (years ago). I've used RAID56 until RAID1c34 became available and RAID10 where I could.
Haven't tried LUKS - btrfs though, although effectively no worse than putting btrfs in a VM, albeit a bit more computationally intensive.

Hey guys,
I want to shred/sanitize my SSDs. If it was a normal harddrive I would stick to ShredOS / nwipe, but since SSD's seem to be a little more complicated, I need your advice.
When reading through some posts in the internet, many people recommend using the software from the manufacturer for sanitizing. Currently I am using the SSD SN850X from Western digital, but I also have a SSD 990 PRO from Samsung. Both manufacturers don't seem to have a specialized linux-compatible software to perform this kind of action.
How would be your approach to shred your SSD (without physically destroying it)?
~sp3ctre
I don't see how attempting to over-write would help. The additional blocks are not addressable on the OS side. dd will exit because it reached the end of the visible device space but blocks will remain untouched internally.
The Arch wiki saysblkdiscard -zis equivalent to runningdd if=/dev/zero.
Where does it say that? Here it seems to support the opposite. The linked paper says that two passes worked "in most cases", but the results are unreliable. On one drive they found 1GB of data to have survived 20 passes.
Sorry, it wasn't the Arch wiki. It was this page.
I hate using Stack Exchange as a source of truth, but the Arch wiki references this discussion which points out that not all SSDs support "Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM", meaning a pure blkdiscard is not guaranteed to clear data (unless the device is advertised with that feature), leaving it available for forensics. Which means having to use --secure, which is (also) not supported by all devices, which means having to use -z, which the previous source claims is equivalent to dd if=/dev/zero.
So the SSD is hiding extra, inaccessible, cells. How does blkdiscard help? Either the blocks are accessible, or they aren't. How are you getting a the hidden cells with blkdiscard? The paper you referenced does not mention blkdiscard directly as that's a Linux-specific command, but other references imply or state it's just calling TRIM. That same paper, in a footnote below section 3.3, claims TRIM adds no reliable data security.
It looks like - especially from that security paper - that the cells are inaccessible and not reliably clearable by any mechanism. blkdiscard then adds no security over dd, and I'd be interested to see whether, with -z, it's any faster than dd since it perforce would have to write zeros to all blocks just the same, rather than just marking them "discarded".
I feel that, unless you know the SDD supports secure trim, or you always use -z, dd is safer, since blkdiscard can give you a false sense of security, and TRIM adds no assurances about wiping those hidden cells.
Hm? Both bspwm and herbstluftwm have tabbed layouts. It's been so long since I've used i3, but it has them too, right? Sway's a mostly config-compatible, mostly client compatible i3 clone for Wayland, so I'd expect it to have tabs, too. As well as floating windows, which every tabbing WM I've used also supports.
I think I missed your point. What are you saying? Did I say something that made you think I thought tiling WMs could only do tiling?
What I'm opinionated about is configuration files. Technically, even a desktop could be configuration-less, although I've never seen one. I have become insistent that my WM have no configuration that isn't set through a client call. Sway still uses a config file like i3; mostly the same config file, unless it's drifted significantly. That was Sway's whole killer feature: i3 users could switch from X11 to Wayland with only minor configuration file changes.
Tiling widow managers are popular, but they’re definitely a taste.
Oh, I refered to that in your post. To me all WMs/compositors are a matter of taste, including stacking ones (on wayland from the stacking ones I only like labwc though it's xml config is not what I would prefer). And you already clarified, but it gave me the impression that it was implicit that tiling was a matter of taste, when those WMs/compositors also offer tabbed/stacked mode, which to me it's not tiling at all, and offers something really appealing not so easily to achieve on any stacking WM/compositor.
Regarding config, well yes, if one is looking for no config at all, and still get the WM/compositor to be useful and also to one's liking, then that's hard to find. But the config files once achieving what one likes and is productive with, then one barely looks at it again, and they are usually portable (usually not only across PCs, also across distros).
But I got your point, sort of "plug and play" as they said before, just install it and without any config be productive with it... I can't imagine that. I heard river is pretty close to dwm, but I can't tell much about it. The river idea of dynamic tiling, which seems to be the default doesn't really appeal to me, so I would need to do tabbed mode any ways, which doesn't seem to be the default, so at least for me it wouldn't be that configless... But maybe it would be to dynamic tiling people.
You can run really any webserver setup with docker, so once you figure out what you need then you can set up your docker-compose stack.
For example for PHP sites that might be nginx, php-fpm, and mariadb containers.
apt from repo, apt doesn't check the distro codename, it just checks if the package dependencies are satisfied.
Really sorry, it's too long ago to remember the exact error,
but IIRC
when you followed the ubuntu instructions for adding the repository it would kick an error because the command included a reference to noble and mint os name is xia so the contents of the osrelease when checked didnt match and it threw an error.
Could be wrong, I didnt document it.
The work around was to edit the commands.
All a moot point now as
a) the instructions now on the mullvad site don't reference noble and
~~b) mullvad now appears to be in the mint store (which is how you should always install if possible~~
Not correct, only true if you've manually added the repo

Lemmy needs AI features integrated, this would help increase the efficiency of poster and commenter workflows, allowing for maximal upvotes per minute, and as a consequence it increases engagement across all communities. The direct increase in output of posters when they enhance their workflow with LLMs is staggering, and comments per minute for each post go through the roof. This allows for discussions to be longer, and LLMs can be deployed on the site in such a way as to write comments that leave the reader desperate to see what the next reply is, even further boosting how many hours people spend on each post.
Lemmy not integrating AI workflows is denying a choice that everyone should be making, AI will replace posters that don’t keep up, so learning AI workflows is now essential for posters and commenters. AI will be completely different tomorrow, the workflows are going to be completely different in a months time, and it will produce even MORE text, and even MORE images. You hear me, you should learn AI right now, otherwise the posters and commenters who use AI will overtake you in terms of upvotes, and then, well you all know how important upvotes are.
I propose that accounts have a mode that can be turned on to auto generate posts overnight, and on top of that AI should try to autocomplete every sentence people type into the editor. This will maximise the benefits to Lemmys written communities. I also propose having an AI art generator built into each post, so every post can have an image, further maximising engagement. Moderators can benefit from the shift in paradigm that AI have brought about, with AI being able to create and moderate communities that no one has even asked for! Lemmy should not only allow but encourage the adoption of these tools, and everyone should be jumping on this revolution like there is no tomorrow.
I also think that the developers should integrate AI into their workflow, it could automatically add features that people don’t even know they want. I am SHOCKED that the developers are still creating Lemmy at this point, as AI can already do 110% of their job, the other day ChatGPT wrote me a sorting algorithm that it told me was totally new, and that it was able to sort any list instantly regardless of size.
My stock portfolio has nearly doubled since I went all in on AI stocks, and I expect it to double in coming months, this tells you just how amazing AI is. Since all the companies are valued this highly despite having quite a small consumer base.

Anyone else having this issue, or is Verizon throttling Lemmy for me?
They tend to lag behind on purpose for stability reasons, but a year out of date is pushing it.
Part of the issue they have is that one of the most popular apps for lemmy, Sync, has been abandoned by its dev. They said they have roughly 5k/month sync users, and if they update, their experience will break further. The egregious part is that app has subscription options, and it's still been 10+ months since the last update.
I left Sync for summit a couple of months ago due to the above, and boy howdy is it better. ~~Actual FOSS,~~ huge amount of options, very similar ux and flow as sync. It's a champion.
Here's hoping more people trickle off of sync to a better app and lemmy world can drop that from their issues list.
I use Summit as well, it's great. It's not FOSS however.

Hey I'm new to Linux and mint seems like the easiest to switch over to coming from windows. I have had trouble with pairing Bluetooth PS4 controllers and emulating them as xinput. I used ds4drv but that's a little outdated now. Also I noticed that catchyos just works after pairing it on my other PC. So I spent a while trying to get mint to work without the need of ds4drv, it kept pairing as a wireless controller that wasn't detected as an actual controller through steam or anything else.... I tracked that down to an issue with the Bluetooth manager and maybe missing udev rules so now I can connect using a different manager and it comes up as a PS4 controller....but now I think I need ds4drv to emulate it as xinput so I've came full circle.
My question is do I need ds4drv to be using a Sony controller as xinput and also how does catchyos do it without ds4drv? And should I just screw Linux mint and switch to Catchyos?
I thought the drivers were already merged into the kernel as hid-sony or hid-playstation?
Have you tried removing ds4drv and just trying to connect the pad via USB? If that works, you can try pairing via Bluetooth.
It could be your Mint kernel is old and doesn’t have the drivers. I’m on Arch so I’ve had no issues and the pads just work and Steam handles them with no issues.

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and I work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Unfortunately the amount of donations has decreased to only 2000€ per month. This leaves only 1000€ per developer, which is not enough to pay my bills. With the current level of donations I will be forced to find another job, and drastically reduce my contributions to Lemmy. To avoid this outcome and keep Lemmy growing, I ask you to please make a recurring donation:
Liberapay | Ko-fi | Patreon | OpenCollective | Crypto
If you want more information before donating, consider the comparison with Reddit. It began as startup funded by rich investors. The site is managed by corporate executives who over time have become more and more disconnected from normal users. Their main goal is to make investors happy and to make a profit. This leads to user-hostile decisions like firing the employee responsible for AMAs, blocking third-party apps and more. As Reddit is a single website under a single authority, it means all users need to follow the same rules, including ridiculous ones like censoring the name "Luigi".
Lemmy represents a new type of social media which is the complete opposite of Reddit. It is split across many different websites, each with its own rules, and managed by normal people who actually care about the users. There is no company and no profit motive. Much of the work is carried out by volunteer admins, mods and posters, who contribute out of enthusiasm and not for money. For users this is great as there is no advertising nor tracking, and no chance of takeover by a billionaire. Additionally there are no builtin political or ideological restrictions. You can use the software for any purpose you like, add your own restrictions or scrutinize its inner workings. Lemmy truly belongs to everyone.
Dessalines and I work fulltime on Lemmy to keep up with all the feature requests, bug reports and development work. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. Previously I sometimes had to rely on my personal savings to keep developing Lemmy for you, but that can't go on forever. We partly rely on NLnet for funding, but they only pay for development of new features, and not for mandatory maintenance work. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached Dessalines and I can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. Please use the link below to see current donation stats and make your contribution! We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.
Don't know what the exact cause was/is for this big surge - but I am glad to see it. No matter what personal problems people may have with the main devs, they are doing great work on the platform.
Also of interest, since this is a good place to plug things, other threadiverse things:
And I couldn't find a way to donate to mbin, in lieu of that:

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinnamon on a laptop, and I'm having a two-sided issue. Web searches have yielded no solution. I'm also very new to Linux.
Problem 1: When alt-tabbing out of a fullscreen application (at this moment, Helldivers 2), the application will minimize, but I cannot restore it. It will appear for roughly half a second, and then re-minimize. I can hear the game still running in the background.
I have tried alt-tab, super+number, and right-click>restore. None seem to work.
I have tried disabling thumbnails for windows, no fix.
Disabling effects, no fix.
Problem 2: As a workaround for problem 1, I tried borderless fullscreen. It works, but there is a white, 1 px border around the screen. I have tried changing themes, no fix. Same thing with disabling effects. I do like the Mint-Y theme, but there's no longer an option to change window borders, from what I've researched. Again, trying a different theme didn't seem to get rid of the white border.
Please help.
I get this a lot when playing Sims4 in Awesome. The window just ups and vanishes if yab to desktop.
Solution:
wmctrl -a elldivers -b toggle fullscreen
It does not seem to work for me. After inputting
wmctrl -a helldivers -b toggle,fullscreen
I just get a quick black flicker and it goes back to minimized. I also tried changing the win argument to :SELECT: from the documentation you linked, but it still doesn't pull up the window and keep it there.
The command does work for other windows, for clarification.
-b add,fullscreen, and keep spamming it in a for loop
How does it compare with chocolatey?

Hmm I don't know if there's a "correct" way, but you could flash the stock version on the first SD card and fire Ubuntu up. Then configure your system and shut down.
Next I would dd the whole SD card into an .img file which then you could flash to all other SD cards.

Hello, fellow Linux users!
My question is in the titel: What is a good approach to deploy docker images on a Raspberry Pi and run them?
To give you more context: The Raspberry Pi runs already an Apache server for letsencrypt and as a reverse proxy, and my home grown server should be deployed in a docker image.
To my understanding, one way to achieve this would be to push all sources over to the Raspberry Pi, build the docker image on the Raspberry Pi, give the docker image a 'latest' tag and use Systemd with Docker or Podman to execute the image.
My questions:
At the moment I am using Raspbian 12 with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and the whole setup works with home grown servers which are simply deployed as binaries and executed via systemd. My Docker knowledge is mostly from a developer perspective, so I know nearly nothing about deploying Docker on a production machine. (Which means, if there is a super obvious way to do this I might not even be aware this way exists.)

Hey guys, I've been using Linux Mint and Windows 11 via a dual boot setup on two laptops for a while.
I hardly ever use Windows 11, except on my work laptop, so I want to delete it from my personal laptop.
How can I do this? What is the safest and easiest way, and what should I bear in mind?
Thank you in advance for your answers, and have a sunny day!
Do not ask people how to do this. If you don't know from a web search, you shouldn't try this without backing up a full disk image and understanding how to roll it back. Or at least backing up everything you care about
It's not a particularly hard thing, but it's a very irreversible one
I second this. If you have to ask an internet rando, then that means you're not ready.
I'm gatekeeping not for the sake of being an elitist, but because if you mess this up, you may not see the end of this.
There are already resources online. Some are even official by the distro you want to install. Maybe you should refer to that instead of this post.
More than half of Americans reported receiving at least one scam call per day in 2024. To combat the rise of sophisticated conversational scams that deceive victims over the course of a phone call, we introduced Scam Detection late last year to U.S.-based English-speaking Phone by Google public beta users on Pixel phones.
We use AI models processed on-device to analyze conversations in real-time and warn users of potential scams. If a caller, for example, tries to get you to provide payment via gift cards to complete a delivery, Scam Detection will alert you through audio and haptic notifications and display a warning on your phone that the call may be a scam.

Hi.
In the past few days, discontent regarding mod decisions in this community has been brewing, particularly when it comes to comments on Palestine, Israel, and Israeli politics and actions. There are also misunderstandings regarding mod intention and German law. We hope to clear that up with this post.
While the servers of feddit.org are in Austria, most of the mods of this community as well as admins of this server live in Germany. Speaking of, our server admins have also posted a write-up on the same topic.
And with that, let's go:
In Germany, antisemitism is specifically sanctioned in German criminal law, both for speech and as a motivation for other criminal behavior. In addition, Germany seeks to protect the Jewish state of Israel (the so-called "Reason of State" introduced in 2008) and thus verges toward protecting Zionism as well. Certain criticism of Israel/Israelis is also categorized as "Israel-related antisemitism".
Since criminal law is involved, enforcement can mean things like police raids and device confiscations. After such police action, it does not really matter if it was appropriate or if cases are dropped or never charged: The damage is done. All told, it's not that fun.
There is also no point in engaging in discussions about the veracity of statements that could get us into legal trouble. In addition, we believe that you can express most opinions without breaking rules.
If your comment contains the following, it will be removed from this community:
Comments will not be removed for the following:
If your comment is removed nonetheless, these are not the reason. I'd also like to stress that this community was never a free-speech-absolutist zone: It is a (usually lightly) moderated community. There may also be times when bans go too far. In such cases, please DM the @EuroMod@feddit.org account (which all mods have access to).

In November 2023, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and for Home Affairs also issued a prohibition order against Hamas.[60] According to the order, "the slogan 'From the River to the Sea' (in German or other languages)" is a distinguishing mark of Hamas[61].
[...] the current legal situation [regarding "Denial of Israel's right to exist"] is - contrary to what the statements of the Federal Ministry of Justice suggest[63] - anything but clear. Whether incitements to eliminate the State of Israel are prosecuted depends on the respective legal opinion and the prosecution will of the respective public prosecutor's office.
In this context, Section 111 StGB, which covers public incitement to commit crimes, may also be relevant. Incitement to extinguish Israel's existence by force may be punishable under this provision. The same applies to calls to publicly display the Hamas flag. If Hamas attacks are publicly cheered and celebrated, this may also be punishable.
This means that people who cheer on Hamas's actions or publicly express their sympathy with the attacks may constitute the criminal offence of "approval of criminal acts" under Section 140 of the German Criminal Code (StGB).

Hi, I've recently discovered that steam client on linux requires the XTEST extension to handle input from controller. However, I can not enable XTEST on gdm no matter what I've done. Switch to lightdm solves it instanly but I prefer gdm.
Could you provide some hint how to debug it and have you experienced that before? Thank you very much!
I am using Arch Linux with Gnome and Wayland.
like this
Unfortunately I can not login with GDM using X. I am having the same bug as in here :/ For wayland, I have both read/write permissions for my username.
Also I can use the PS5 controller as a mouse just fine. Another symptom I see is when I run xdotool mousemove 150 150, it will print Warning: XTEST extension unavailable on '(null)'. Some functionality may be disabled; See 'man xdotool' for more info.. The null here is concerning to me. Not sure how it says on other system.
Ok so it's not the uinput permissions.
When you use lightdm, do you use it to log into a Gnome wayland session, same as with GDM? Or is there any other difference between using GDM and LightDM? What exactly is/isn't working, and how can you tell it is related to the XTEST extension?
Also I can use the PS5 controller as a mouse just fine.
Ok, this could maybe be the kernel driver creating a "real" touchpad device. Steam is able to create fake/virtual mouse and keyboard devices, I suspect that's what steam uses XTEST and/or uinput for. So even though your PS5 touchpad works, that does not invalidate my theory that steam wants XTEST for mouse/keyboard input fakery, because that's what exactly what XTEST is for.
So technically, Steam wouldn't require XTEST for controller input, it would require XTEST to map controller inputs to fake mouse or keyboard inputs. I don't know what exactly steam does if XTEST isn't present, like what exactly doesn't work?
And XTEST is an X11 protocol extension, it probably doesn't work properly under Wayland anyway.
The null here is concerning to me.
Dunno, '(null)' might just refer to the default connection (or server or screen or whatever X11 object this refers to), so not sure if this something to be concerned about. I presume X11 clients in general do work? Like xterm or xeyes work, right?
I am having the same bug as in here :/
The fact that you cannot log in may seem/look like that exact issue you linked to, but that's from 2019 and may have a different cause. In general, GDM will start some executable, (i.e. gnome-session or something like that, or at least it used to be gnome-session, haven't used gnome in a while) which if it exits/crashes this will kick you back to GDM. It could crash for many reasons.
You should check the logs for sure for both issues. X11 session logs (relating to Gnome X11 not starting), should be in ~/.xsession-errors (or ~/.xsession-errors.old for the previous session, I think). There may be a /var/log/Xorg.0.log for xorg, which I guess could also be the thing crashing (maybe). There may be other things logged with journald that could be relevant. journalctl --user should show all the logs for the user session. Logs from Gnome, since it runs as your user, would presumably show up there. My guess is all the relevant logs for a Gnome wayland session would also be there, as well as (hopefully) Xwayland errors/warnings, since Xwayland is actually the thing that would report it doesn't support XTEST.
Note that journalctl likes to show the oldest logs first, so look at the timestamps. You can press G to scroll to the end. There are various ways to filter messages, look at journalctl --help. You might want to use --grep to look for anything related to XTEST or xwayland.
Lightdm and GDM are systemd units (systemctl list-units), the logs would show with something like sudo journalctl -u lightdm.
Have all new stuff all AMD. Running bazzite and the gpu ( 9070 xt ) does not work, when I plug in the monitor to either port type it just compresses everything up at the top of the screen all warped. Everything works fine on the MB ports not sure what I might have done to screw it up. Saw some posts talking about proper versions for the kernel and mesa and both those seemed to be new enough for the GPU ( 6.14.4-104.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) ) and Mesa 25.0.1
Those errors seemed to be in games from their posts though my monitor will not even display the desktop or anything else properly what am I missing?

I was waiting for the card to come down in price and I put my old 3060 TI into this new system at first. How do I check if the drivers updated to new ones or if I have to do it manually? Maybe that is what is wrong
This is mainly a rant post.
I have to use Zscaler on my work PC. I use Sway (Moved from Gnome -> i3 -> sway).
Whenever Zscaler is launched, I used to get a weird error "proxy server not found" but it continued to work otherwise. Now at my company, we used a proxy at one time but we shifted to a no-proxy connection recently.
So I checked all my environment variables, output of set command. Everything was fine. People said it could be because of some weird compliance issue, or kernel etc etc. After a week or so, I gave up on debugging it because most of my work was fine with the 50% functional Zscaler.
One day, I opened Gnome instead of Sway to check something else, and saw that my proxy was on. This is the proxy set in Gnome Settings, not environment file.
I initially dismissed this finding because I thought Gnome is not active during sway so it should not affect it. But then i remembered it's possible to access the gnome settings using gsettings from any distro.
I switched to Sway, and sure enough, when I ran gsettings get org.gnome.system.proxy.http host, I could see the proxy IP.
I set it to null and behold! Zscaler was working perfectly.
I'm like "Who the hell designs software like this? The application should read the environment variables, not Gnome variables!"
Anyway, this was just a reminder to software makers to kindly follow the norms. Don't design your software for one Distro. Follow the guidelines as mentioned in freedesktop.
Before any commenter rushes to condemn the Chaos That Is Linux, please check out OP's posting history to get a clearer picture of their credibility.
(and like they themselves stated, this is a rant and not a PSA)
It's an issue but its a pretty niche one. Even software that works great on most distros might misbehave when you have multiple desktop environments installed. And http_proxy use doesn't appear to be standardized by freedesktop, LSB, etc. Though it is pretty well adhered to: about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/01/…
So yeah, I agree with the spirit of this but its tough to follow the standard when there is no standard
Subtle differences in proxy setting implementations led to surprising problems for a GitLab customer. Here's how we got to the root of it.Stan Hu (GitLab)
Because various people have asked for it, I’ve mirrored all the GitLab Bookface and Postbox repositories to GitHub:
github.com/randompenguin1?tab=…
The canonical location is still on GitLab, that's where I'll still be making the actual commits. The Bookface wiki is also still on GitLab (it apparently doesn't get included when mirroring to GitHub). And the actual Releases are still on GitLab because GitHub apparently only mirrors the version tags.
My projects website page, however, is hosted at GitHub because I ran into problems setting one up on GitLab: randompenguin1.github.io/

Hello, I'm still a noob when it comes to computers.
I had a dual boot Windows 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15.6.
My problem is that I was using my laptop as always and I was simply searching through internet when the system glitched. So I tried to restart my laptop, but then it showed screens with sth like Bios corrupted, blue screen etc. And then it restarted but only with Windows 11.
When I check the settings partition has fully free memory, so it means that my OpenSuse is gone.What could have gone wrong?
Sorry for the noob question and thanks for any help. I'm just really davastated.
Event 41 Task 63? what's that?
but to repeat: windows dies not understand linux partitions to any extent. it shows them as "uninitialized space" or something like that, so that it looks like it's gone. It's always best to check the partitions with gparted on a live system (e.g. systemrescue linux)
Event 41 Task 63? what's that?
It was a message logged in the event log. It means that the system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down.

So, for context, I have an HDMI dummy plug that is disabled most of the time, but enabled through command-line to use as a virtual display for game streaming with Sunshine.
In GNOME settings, the display is disabled, and that works just fine. I can enable/disable it at will whenever I want to stream games using the new gdctl utility added in GNOME 48.
I want this “monitor” to be disabled in GDM as well since it keeps trying to use the dummy plug as the default display and I can’t see and of the UI elements and have to type my password in blindly. I’ve copied over my monitor config from /home/user/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml as per the Arch Wiki’s recommendations, but when I log out/reboot, nothing changes on GDM. It still tries to show the password entry UI on the dummy plug and my actual display just shows a gray screen.
I know the configs are different for X11 and wayland, but both GDM and GNOME are running under wayland, so that shouldn’t be the issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
I use Arch btw.
Yeah, seems like it should just be working...
You've probably already got this covered, but when you created your user monitors.xml config, did you have the dummy plug connected and disabled?
Maybe the config:
Yes. Here’s the contents I currently have in /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml:
<monitors version="2">
<configuration>
<layoutmode>physical</layoutmode>
<logicalmonitor>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<scale>1</scale>
<primary>yes</primary>
<monitor>
<monitorspec>
<connector>DP-1</connector>
<vendor>SAM</vendor>
<product>Odyssey G93SC</product>
<serial>HNTW700164</serial>
</monitorspec>
<mode>
<width>5120</width>
<height>1440</height>
<rate>239.997</rate>
</mode>
<colormode>bt2100</colormode>
</monitor>
</logicalmonitor>
<disabled>
<monitorspec>
<connector>HDMI-1</connector>
<vendor>FUN</vendor>
<product>Evanlak8K V2</product>
<serial>0x00006410</serial>
</monitorspec>
</disabled>
</configuration>
</monitors>At this point, do you think I should issue a report on GDM’s repository? Maybe the devs there would have more insight
My monitors.xml has two <configuration> blocks, with the only real difference being that one has <layoutmode>physical</layoutmode> and the second has <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode>. I don't really think that'd be the issue here though, because if the dummy plug is listed as disabled it shouldn't be trying to use it anyway...?
I think you're right in reporting it to the GDM repo, at a minimum someone there will know where to point you towards figuring this out. Maybe the GNOME Mutter repo might be a related stop for this too, seeing that's the part generating the monitors.xml...
The things that are supposed to be simple are always the bits that suck the most!
Does this use any experimental options you enabled in your dconf?

I’m working on a custom Linux Mint ISO (using Cubic) for a dedicated system with auto-login. I’m trying to automate Vino (VNC server) setup during installation using preseed, but I’m running into two issues:
I need to set org.gnome.Vino authentication-methods to ['vnc'] for the autologin user. I’ve tried variations of:
in-target su -c "gsettings set org.gnome.Vino authentication-methods \"['vnc']\"" username
But the setting doesn’t persist. I’ve also tested in-target sh -c and direct gsettings calls without luck.
What’s the correct way to apply gsettings changes for a specific user during preseed?
I need /usr/lib/vino/vino-server to start automatically after login. Since this is an auto-login system, I’d prefer a method that:
What’s the best way to set this up? .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/? Or another approach? Preferably, it would be more easily configurable in userspace, but if this is the only option then I understand.
