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.
windows dies not understand linux partitions to any extent
Yup, I've just learned this about Windows. Thank you.

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.

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.
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?
