Peter1986C , 4 months ago in OpenSuse Tumbleweed: Update to KDE6 - Throws you back to login screen mid update/upgrade

I was tossed back to the login screen, but was fine otherwise. I am on Wayland by the way, maybe this issue is an X11 exclusive one.

Do Pipewire and Wireplumber log something useful to the syslog?

NorthWestWind OP , 4 months ago

Checked jounralctl for both. There doesn’t seem to be anything near the time of screen blank and wake up.

Not open source but why not give it a try with your scanner ? flathub.org/apps/com.hamrick.VueScan

0x4E4F OP , 4 months ago

Read on the Mint forums a thread a while back, like from 2012 I think… someone had the same scanner as me and wrote to Hamrick about it, see if it’s supported. Unfortunatelly, no, it’s not… though this was a while back and maybe it’s supported now, who knows, will have to try I guess to know for sure.

In any case, VueScan has some generic drivers in it, but it’s far from that it supports every device out there. In general, it needs drivers for it to work, no different than any other scanning application.

nayminlwin , 5 months ago in Anyone here using JWM (Joe's Window Manager) with Arch in 2024?

I’ve used it before as a backup X WM alternative to my main sway.

I switched over to xfce after a whiel thougj.

That’s the fun part of kalpa. Get to upgrade confidently. Though it does take a quick reboot to actually apply

Lime66 OP , 5 months ago in Trouble with fedora

Update: so I’m updating on a kernel 6.5.6 backup which still works, and I see this when I run dnf upgrade https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/abbcb63c-a990-4b39-91c9-eb6c102afccc.jpeg

Lime66 OP , 5 months ago

So I take it I probably shouldn’t update

Lime66 OP , 5 months ago

Never mind I can see it’s installing the newer kernel

potentiallynotfelix OP , 5 months ago in Wine error when running Magellan VantagePoint

PARTIAL SOLUTIONI read on the WineHQ page that you need directx 2.0 installed, I had the newest directx. This allows the software to start, but theres still some error. I’ll troubleshoot and post again if I can’t find anything.

At this point why not use Pantheon instead of GNOME?

scratchandgame , 5 months ago in Firefox looks so much better than Chrome

They both use hundreds megabytes of RAM just to render my static page. But for hydrogen web chromium use ~35M. This is shitty.

(w3m use 10M and in most case for searching we only need text-based browser)

Archaeopteryx , 5 months ago in Opensuse kde plasma 6 upgrade

Did the upgrade a few minutes ago. No problems so far and everything feels very smooth when it comes to animation, desktop effects etc.

intelisense , 5 months ago in Opensuse kde plasma 6 upgrade

Upgraded this morning. Everything seems mostly OK, but the login screen theme is odd, but fully functional. The lock screen is the same as before, though.

wanghis_khan , 5 months ago in What's your favorite terminal?

terminator was my go to for the longest time. Nowadays, I just use default GNOME Terminal. I just need things to work and not waste time tinkering.
