My PC is running Ubuntu 22.04, with KDE Plasma 5.24. When I select Sleep from the Application Launcher, it always starts t go to sleep, but then it seems like a 50-50 chance that it will stay asleep. Many times, it wakes right back up again within 10 seconds. If I try to make it sleep two or more times, sometimes it will...

So I have a new installation of fedora, which I reinstalled because gdm would freeze and prevent me from logging in and using my computer. I then noticed the same problem on the new installation. I noticed that using an older kernel worked, but system upgrades will break gdm again. I don’t want to have to never update my...

So I’ve messed up by not formatting my partitions on installation and now things are buggy, dbus returns permission denied on starting is one of the prominent bugs at the moment

Hi, I’m running Linux Mint 21.3 with kernel 6.5.0-21 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 gen 2 with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, and most relevant to my question, an Intel AX210 WiFi controller....

I recently switched from Windows 10 to ZorrinOS (after a quick detour to NixOS… OOF) and in the course of setting things up how I like, I ran across some interesting stuff relating to flatpaks and shortcuts. I wanted to get this written to provide a resource for other people who might be switching....

I’ve realized that I need a calendar, and Calcurse seems like a good one, with easy handling of daily schedules (which is my main requirement). Is it possible to export that schedule to a Mint desktop background? That way I could see, at a glance, a graphical representation of my day whenever I boot up my PC....

Two days ago, I did a fresh Arch install, everything went fine, then I changed my mind about my HDD partitioning and reformatted it, and installed Arch again, the install boots okay and all, but NetworkManager was down, when I investigated it, I found out that dbus service fails to start here is what systemctl status dbus...

I’m used to using Linux from the terminal. I have a new machine which I plan to use mostly headless but would occasionally like to run a desktop environment and play games with GPU acceleration. I know I don’t have to launch the desktop environment on startup, but I was wondering if it’s possible to have that entire...

It’s distrohop time. Want to go immutable for the first time. But waiting for KDE6.

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...

Hello good people,...

I have calibrated my monitors to create icc profiles, they show up in KDE color management and everything used to work exactly as it should. Now every time I start my computer it goes like this:...

Hi al, I just did a fresh install of linux mint and I don’t have any audio on my internal subwoofers. Dell XPS 9500. I made a post about it on the linux mint forums, which contains more info and “progress” but no luck so far....

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....

Does anyone know if there are plans underway to allow user-level flatpak installations using GNOME Software?...

Hi folks. Anyone running Debian on Alienware 17 r4? Or am I dreaming because of the “NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti” graphics? My preference would be LMDE

I am using vnStat to monitor network bandwidth on a Debian host that has several Docker containers. Because of the containers, there are several interfaces in addition to eth0....

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

I secure systems for my day job. That means installing AV software, ensuring Windows Firewall is ON, etc. (Plus many other things…)...

I got myself a valve index, as I’ve heard that it works well on GNU/Linux (I use Debain 12 with GNOME). Turns out, there were a bunch of hurtles. At first, my cable was just broken, so I needed to get that relaced. Later on when I got the cable, Everything worked fine, but nothinig is being displayed in the headset. The screen...

This is a short appreciation/user experience story. Tl;Dr I’m enjoying my time on linux...

Not choosing them, I’ve done that. I just want to make sure that I install them right and am not missing anything. What I’m doing is installing a second ssd on my desktop, and then I want to install a new distro (opensuse) on it, to use instead of my current one....

Hey folks, throwing this out for ideas. I have - like many FOSS users from what I have researched - a Logitech G13 gaming keyboard. I love this thing - it’s awesome, however it doesn’t work in Linux....
