I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the...

A way to long introduction...

my 23.10 now boots to single user mode (the tty1 log in page), After logging in with username and password (not as root, but regular me) I get this message:...

The last device I own that doesn’t run an open source operating system is an iPad. I basically use it as a laptop most of the time with a keyboard case, but I do like being able to take just the screen to use as a drawing/note-taking tablet. I treat it more like a “convertible” device rather than a tablet alone....

I’m looking for a timer applet that can go in the system tray where I can put in a time and it will count down and give me a notification when the time is up.

Edit: I found the solution! All I had to do was add the uid with my username, then I also had to add “forceuid” for it to actually go through. My fstab entry now looks like:...

While I was writing a shell script (doing this the past several days) just a few minutes ago my PC fans spinned up without any seemingly reason. I thought it might be the baloo process, but looking at the running processes I see it’s names block-rate-estim . It takes 6.2% CPU time and is running since minutes, on my modern 8...

I tried to setup jellyfin, but jellyfin didn’t see any subfolders in my home folder I tried to grant jellyfin the rights to read my home folder, but it looks like I did something wrong and now I can’t update and install flatpak apps. This is what I see when I try to update flatpak apps:...

I put my laptop into sleep by just closing the lid and sometimes after wake up the clock shows wrong time and date which results into web sites not loading until I change it back and then I also lose logins to my previously logged in websites and have to re-enter the logins....

Been running endeavor OS on my MSI delta 15 (all AMD with no nvidia card) with KDE and it switches between integrated and dgpu like it should. However after installing gnome and using it for a bit I noticed that it was always having the dgpu idling. This basically cuts my battery life in half, and making it less than desirable....

I’ve been having some issues with my network card on my new Minisforum UM690S. The issue is related to both WiFi and Bluetooth, but seeing as I have now a cabled connection for internet (and it will stay that way), I am really just in need of solving this for the Bluetooth-issue. I’ve been trying to figure out how to solve...

Anyone have experience getting an HP EliteBook 840 G2 to boot from M.2? There’s only one setting in BIOS to enable it, and it’s enabled by default. Latest BIOS update. It’s in the boot order. It’s even seen when pressing F9 for boot options. I see MX23 but no grub (under legacy) or EFI files found in the ESP partition...

So I just installed opensuse KDE for the first time and when I was typing password for my WiFi, instead of connecting me, some window appeared asking for creating encrypted wallet. I don’t need that so I turned it off in the system settings, but then my PC always forgets my WiFi pasword after shutdown. So I turned on and...

Lately, when booting up my linux machine (Fedora 39 KDE), everything looks good until about 30s after I log in. Then both screens go black with no output, and shortly after that they light up as if there is a signal but I don’t seen anything....

I needed a test VM at work the other day so I just went with Debian because why not, during the install I chose KDE plasma as the DE. I did nothing else with it after installing it and after leaving it alone for a while (somewhere between 20-60 minutes) the CPU useage shot up to the point vSphere sent out an alert and the VM was...

After seeing someone else posting their struggles with getting Docker running on their system, I thought I might share my process for setting up new Docker nodes. I don’t make any representations about my way being the right way, or the best way, but this way has been working for me. I have been playing around with a swarm,...

I installed fedora kde earlier today, hated kde, couldn’t uninstall it, so reinstalled with workstation. My hostname was originally computer, but I changed it, but now I still see user@computer ~ whenever I go into a terminal? is this a problem. Gnome terminal also looks weird

I start KDE with startx on tumbleweed, everything works except that kwallet asks for my password when I launch discord or other apps. I installed pam_kwallet and made sure that my user password is identical to my kwallet password. Anyone knows how I could fix this?...

Not as much time to tinker this week, but I still had some fun and learned some things!...

There are plenty of utilities (GUI, such as filelight and TUI, such as dua as well) for analyzing disk usage by space, but I would like to view my folders based on the count of files, as I’m making backups, and folders with lots of small files (e.g. node_modules) take very long to move around, so I guess that I’d be better...

I cannot find an icon pack I’d fully like. I used to use Deepin’s and even Breeze, but I want something fresh....

Hello everyone,...

Does anyone know if Ubuntu Touch supports flatpaks? I’ve been following the project and think what they’re doing is super cool for mobile Linux. I’ve even been thinking about installing it on one of my devices just to try it out at some point....

So, I’ve been having some bugs when I turn on my PC since I installed my GPU, and I figured a possible reason might be that it uses bios instead of uefi, although my motherboard supports uefi....

Hey there fellow neck-beards and grey-beards!...
