Musician mutuals! I need one more thing to cover for this week's Other People's Music, so if you have a release you'd like to get more ears on (and have never submitted before), send me a DM.

Here's a link explaining the very few requirements:

etherdiver.com/2024/04/04/opm-…

To that I have since added two things:

1) NO AI of any kind. Not in the art, not to write lyrics, nada. If you mess with that stuff, don't submit to me, please.

2) Everything has to be on one release, for logistical reasons.

La fierté de savoir manier une machine qui effectue une tache ne compense pas la perte se savoir faire par rapport à cette tache.
Je sais placer une plaque de métal dans une presse et actionner la presse qui forme une casserole. C'est certes un savoir-faire. Mais on a perdu celui du maniement du marteau pour effectuer la même tache. C'est une perte de savoir-faire technique, qui a été remplacé par un autre, moins exigeant. C'est ça une prolétarisation.
Et ça fonctionne pour tous les métiers, que ce soit ouvrier, cadre, médecin, etc.

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.

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.

Divine D. project is developing a Linux phone with a RK3588s processor


The Rockchip RK3588 processor family has been around for a few years now, and it has proven to be a popular option for single-board computers, laptops, and other devices that generally run Android or Linux-based software.

More recently we’ve started to see folks tap this chip for use in Linux smartphones. The first was the Liberux NEXX that was announced earlier this year ahead of an […]

Personnellement, je trouve qu'il n'y a rien de mieux pour la méditation que de contempler le vent dans les frondaisons et d'écouter le bruissement des feuilles, ça et le clapotis de l'eau, également, le vent dans un champ de céréales. Ça vaut de loin une séance de psychothérapie. En plus, c'est la base de notre alimentation, on se nourrit littéralement de ça. Les arbres, les prairies et l'eau provoquent le sentiment d'abondance.

Les bagnoles et les avions qui passent, c'est juste l'inverse, le stress, l'agression.

Tout le monde sait ça, l'univers bisounours ce n'est pas la ville. Il n'y a rien à démontrer.

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>
      <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>

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.

One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.

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?
