the whole system disappeared

cross-posted: feddit.org/post/12443313

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.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

GDM not honoring custom monitor config

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:

  • has it included as a monitor and enabled as part of the screen layout
  • or possibly doesn't include it at all, and then GDM just assumes it can/should use it as a new option?

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>

          <height>1440</height>

        <colormode>bt2100</colormode>
      </monitor>

        <connector>HDMI-1</connector>

        <serial>0x00006410</serial>
      </monitorspec>
    </disabled>
  </configuration>
</monitors>

The disabled dummy plug is the “Evanlak8K V2” device while my functional monitor is my Samsung Odyssey OLED G9. This config is the same as the one currently running on my GNOME desktop config, but in GDM still defaults to the enabled dummy plug, even with the fixed ownership.

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!

Very well said. Thank you very much for your help. I wouldn’t have known to check the ownership issues or if GDM were properly running Wayland were it not for your help. I’ll reach out to the GNOME devs on the relevant repositories and see if they might be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time and expertise.

Help with Preseed commands for Autostart and Vino

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:

  1. Changing Vino settings in preseed commands

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?

  1. Autostarting Vino Server

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:

  • Works via preseed (e.g., adding to startup apps).
  • Can be toggled later via Cinnamon’s startup settings (if possible).

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.

Daily driving a GNUIX or some of those super libre OSs.

I have a thinkpad lying around. I have used Linux over the last 5 years and I an NOT a power user. I use Mint and it gets the job done for me.

Lately though, the whole libre software bug bit me and I want at least one machine that is libre compatible through and through. I have heard some stuff like Parabola and GNUIX or something like that, but thought it best to ask around first before even thinking about something like this.

My work essentially involves writing documents (LaTeX and LibreOffice), doing statistical analysis, and making lectures. I access emails via Thunderbird. That's it.

Does anyone here daily drive a fully libre laptop?

You can absolutely use Linux without any GNU software. I use Chimera Linux for example (no Glibc, no GCC, no GNU utils). I even get away from some software that Red Hat created according to your definition like SystemD. However, even still, I know that Red Hat is responsible for much of the software I run since I use software like X, Wayland, Mesa, Podman, KVM, PulseAudio, and PipeWire.

It is VERY hard to run a Linux system without using code contributed by Red Hat.

No, Red Hat did not “create” glibc, GCC, or GNOME. They just contributed tens of thousands of lines of code to them. Perhaps more than anybody else over the last 20 years. Ever heard of Ulrich Drepper?

Actually, it is impossible to use Linux without using code contributed by Red Hat as they have been one of the biggest contributors to the Linux kernel itself for multiple decades now.

And to clarify, the Linux kernel is absolutely NOT a GNU project. Very few packages in a typical Linux distro are actually. The full list of GNU packages is here:

gnu.org/software/software.en.h…

Compare it with this list:

redhat.com/en/about/open-sourc…

GNU has been influential but is not essential as you can create a complete Linux distribution without any of it (again see Chimera Linux). Code contributed by Red Hat however is totally unavoidable and completely essential. It is not possible to run a Linux system without it. All the distributions you listed heavily rely on code contributed by Red Hat.

To say otherwise is not just misleading. It is wrong.

I do not use any Red Hat distributions. I do benefit from their contributions and am thankful for them.

Pepe Mujica: My Generation Made a Naive Error


#politics #socialism #culture #hegemony

My generation believed it was going to change the world by trying to nationalize the media and distribution, but we failed to understand that at the center of this battle must be the construction of a different culture. You cannot build a socialist building with bricklayers who are capitalists.

Very impressive. The M1 Macs at least seem to be quite functional at this point and everything either has been or is in the process of hitting the mainline.

Lots of work to do of course but many would have bet against getting this far. But there is a big difference between “could be better” and “stuff doesn’t work”. Getting the Rust based GPU driver into the kernel is a major achievement on its own and may do a lot to silence the “Rust isn’t used for anything real in the kernel” crowd as well.

With all the recent drama, I think some assumed the project was on the ropes. But the updates on the M2 and the reduced support burden of their past work leave me pretty hopeful that good progress will continue.

Postboxes Version 1.1

The Postbox and Zen Postbox add-ons have been updated with a bunch of new styles!

* Solid Colors renamed to match HTML color names
* 24 new solid colors added
* 5 new gradient backgrounds added
* 17 new pattern backgrounds added
* 11 animated backgrounds added
* Fixed the load order so it overrides Postbox styles in Bookface if present

The previous solid color names have been mapped to the new ones, so any existing Postboxes in your feed using the old names will still look good.

Solid Color Postbox Options

The gradient backgrounds were ones that got missed from the initial release and are similar to the ones Facebook used to offer.

Postbox Gradient Background Options


The pattern backgrounds all use pure CSS, no images, so they will render fast and do not incur an additional resource load from the server.

Postbox Pattern Backgrounds.

The animated backgrounds are exclusively available on servers that use either of the two add-ons. None of the animated styles are included in the Bookface scheme because some of them use SVG images. They use pure CSS animation as well, no JS code or animated GIF images.

Postbox animated backgrounds.

Notice how I said the gradients were similar to the ones Facebook used to offer? Shortly after I introduced Postboxes to Friendica the backgrounds on Facebook were coincidentally(?) completely overhauled. IMO Friendica now has a nicer selection anyway and even Facebook doesn’t offer animated post backgrounds.

Note: These styles ONLY work on Friendica and only if the viewer is using Bookface 1.7 or either of these add-ons is enabled, and the animated backgrounds only work with the add-ons. For most other platforms (Mastodon, Bluesky, etc.) they'll just see the content inside the postbox. However you should know there are still issues with Postbox posts shared to either Diaspora or Hubzilla.

You can see a live demo of the animated ones here: randompenguin1.github.io/sampl…

They are coded to stop animating when you hover or touch them, adopting a default appearance. I did it that way because "animation-play-state" is still a bit unreliable and I liked the idea of them having a "poster" state rather than just pausing at where ever they were in the animation loop.

* Fixed issue with slow-loading secondary toolbar in Safari
* Updated with Postbox version 1.1 styles
— names of solid colors now match HTML color names
— 24 new solid colors
— 5 new gradient backgrounds
— 17 new pattern backgrounds

Some of these will be fairly obvious. The big one is that the Action Buttons below posts and comments used to change to the accent color on hover and there was no indicator if you’d previously interacted with any of them. NOW they have a slight shift in darkness/lightness on hover and the accent color indicates you’ve previously clicked the Like, Dislike, Share, or Event buttons (the exceptions being Comment or Quote). If a post's scope is limited (not public) the "Share" and "Quote" buttons are now obviously disabled by being faded out.


Action Buttons with accent color indicating previous interaction.


Engagement Counts also now show an icon indicating the type of engagement, which should make it easier to see what kind of engagement a post or comment is getting. And if there are 2+ the individuals are revealed in a pop-over box rather than pushing the entire layout down.

Engagement counts with icons and detail pop-over

The new Postbox pattern backgrounds are done with pure CSS, no images! So they’ll load and display fast and don’t incur additional server calls. Postboxes are just a nice looking way to dress up your text-only posts. Of course only Friendica users will see them, and only if they are using the Bookface scheme or their instance has installed one of the Postbox add-ons. The styling doesn’t transfer to other platforms (Note: there are still issues with Postbox posts shared to Diaspora and Hubzilla).

The new Postbox Pattern Backgrounds


Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback, reported issues, and tested things for me to help improve Bookface for everyone. 😁

I’m just glad someone is exposing these indoor kid parks. Of course not all of them are bad. As a parent I’ve had to constantly decline these birthday invitations and look like a complete asshole doing so. Zip line parks, trampoline parks, wall climbing, or these indoor kid playgrounds. My initial parent reaction was avoid these places like the plague. When I was a kid everyone had their white trash kids party at Discovery Zone. I’m proud of my Mom saying No back then. Then I started to let my guard down and take these parks on a case by case basis when it rains for like a month in the winter. I tell my wife we cannot afford the medical bills if our kid breaks an arm like the answer is no. Inevitably it’s some family member invites us I’m at work then she’ll take a risk. Not only is it predator central. The best case scenario is it’s ran by a 14 yr old getting paid minimum wage. Those aren’t the kind of theme parks you want to visit. To find out many of these are owned by the same people and Little Gym is implicated feels like some validation.

A new plane “free of charge,” family business deals, and crypto investments in the Gulf monarchies are conjuring the specter of the Middle Eastern states trying to curry special favor, casting a shadow over President Donald Trump’s first visit to the region.

House Republicans sparred aggressively with Democratic lawmakers in a tense meeting this week of the Energy and Commerce Committee, insisting that their planned revisions to Medicaid were intended to stabilize the program and would not remove millions of recipients, including those who are disabled from the program.

Democrats stage political theater to fight Medicaid reform, Republicans fire back with facts

The Democrats' leaders are mostly lying traitors, so there is little hope for good sense in anything they say. Ditto all the RINOs.
But I happen to know that God is well involved here, and they will most certainly be sorry. In fact, they have already started such a thing. What we see now is not unrelated to the actions of rats caught in live traps with a cat sniffing the bars.

LINux on MOBile

@nivea They are building on Mobian - which at least sounds like less of a workload than what @purism are doing with PureOS. That said, if I made a 'LINMOBphone' it would, no matter the distro, also have some software branding + additional (meta-) packages to customize the experience and to not have to argue with distro people that Gapless is IMHO better than Lollypop.

I totally understand that if you put all the work into making hardware, you just want some influence on what's running on it.

@purism you are right in a way. and i am happy if they are proud on the accomplishment of developing this kind of hw. but, my observation is that making such hardware, and making it well, is challenge enough. and the software side will benefit so much from the effectiveness and efficiency of joined forces. it all doesn't hurt anyone, but still hurts is that its a waste of already limited capacities within this little niche

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Since this apparently needs to be said: if a show is no longer running nor being officially distributed, no money is going to the original production team anyways.

Unlike watching a currently licensed or ongoing show (which could impact its prospects), watching a recording of a defunct production doesn’t take money out of anyone’s pocket. This is especially true for shows that struggled to find an audience and closed early.

historical quote from Alexander Solzhenitsyn courtesy of Dmitry K on X:
“You must understand: the Bolshevik leaders who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred, they tortured and killed millions of Russians without the slightest human remorse.

The October Revolution was not what you in America call the ‘Russian Revolution.’ It was an invasion and conquest of the Russian people.

My compatriots suffered more horrific crimes at the hands of these bloodthirsty men than any people or nation has ever suffered in the history of mankind. This should not be underestimated.

Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time.

The fact that the world knows nothing about this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.”
