I’m unable to pair my Wacom tablet to my notebook via BT. I think I know the root cause of the issue which is the version of Bluez being 5.64 and the behavior of the issue is the same as I had on Fedora on my main PC few months back when I’ve tried to pair PS5 Dual Sense controller....
so im not sure if this is update related or storage related. somewhere online told me to check ‘page faults’ and theyre at 16998 MINFL and 114 MAJFL. i ran out of storage on my ssd so i clesred half of it by deleting timeshift snapshots (and disabled it). it’s still running like a slug. once an application is open, it’s...
I just ran an update, as one does with apt update and upgrade. Afterwards all my monitors, bedies that one ancient 4 by 3 monitor stopped working. That 4 by 3 displays gnome at a lower resolution then usual. So I assumed that this has something to do with the nvidia drivers (has happened many times before). So I run...
for those who dont know, crostini is a feature available for chromeos that lets you install a debian container and has a cute terminal and lets you install linux software (can be from flathub, github, etc!!! woa!!). i love it so much and use it daily for programming python on my chromebook and crostini is what i mean when i say...
Well I’ve joined the “accidentally trashing your system with rm -rf” club! Luckily I didn’t delete my home directory with all the things I care about, but I did delete /boot and /usr, and maybe /var (long story, boils down to me trying to delete non-system directories named those but reflexively adding the slash in front...
This laptoo has Fn as default instead of F keys. I hate it. I found several solutions for different vendors to switch state in bios. Is that the only option?
Recently I stumbled over an article, about how to customize your shell prompt. What really surprised me, is that it lacked one of the most basic tips I learned nearly 20 years back: Always display a timestamp in the prompt, to be able to check how long a process is running or when it ended. (Don’t need it daily, but every so...
I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading ‘video1.mkv’: Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing; I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at...
I have setup my fedora to use LUKS encryoted partitions. But entering two passwords gets quite tiring, as I shutdown my laptop quite often to get the benefit of LUKS (I am assuming nothing is encrypted when in suspend, please correctme if I am wrong)...
I have an old microsoft wireless ball mouse, i have the dongle but it has ps/2 connectors (i know about ps/2 to usb but i dont want to use it as the dongle is big). Is there way to use a usb wifi card(tp-link) as the reciever and make it work?
I like to watch videos published by Nick from The Linux Experiment. In the latest video he talks about the developments in the new Cosmic, The quality of life touches and polishing of KDE, and the apps coming to gnome (like snoop). It is all really cool and I can’t wait to try them all :)
Hello! I use an Arch Linux distro with KDE on an ASUS X570 board that has built-in wifi. The issue is that I can’t for the life of me get the wifi to work without asking me for the wifi password what feels like every hour. The hardware is active, the software is active, Network Manager is active, the wifi profile is fine, the...
I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldn’t find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?
Thunderbird 115 has been out over a week now and the lack of packaged versions, especially Flatpak, is beginning to raise eyebrows. Gotta admit, I’ve been curious at the lack of a Flatpak version since the day they announced it’s “availability”....
