Caps lock key not working on Ubuntu 23.10 Dev branch? or is it only for me? 😞

The problem with all the little tweaks is that it doesn't seem to work when you SSH into another system. I caught myself typing in CAPS on a remote system one too many time. Performed a little surgery on the keyboard and solved the problem.

It’s not OP’s fault, but voting is how we’re supposed to curate content. This post doesn’t have a title or description so it’s a bad post on lemmy and I think downvoting it is acceptable. Don’t consider votes a reflection of a user’s value or standing

kariboka ,

Actually the problem is o Mastodon side. Mastodon developer refuse to use the same standards as everyone else.

Just made da switch from Windows 10 to Linux Mint. How do i get started?

You’re probably going to be installing and changing a lot of stuff over the next few weeks. Make sure you use TimeShift to make system snapshots. (It works like System Restore in Windows).

You can even restore a system that won’t boot anymore, by booting from a Live usb stick, running TimeShift and choosing a snapshot off your hard drive.

njordomir ,

Bonus points, once you feel comfortable with the software manager learn how to update Mint with the “apt” commands in the terminal. This will make you feel like an elite hacker while simultaneously teaching you a fast way to do a routine task, updating all your software. Make sure to reflect on how long this would have taken on Windows. :D

Can anyone pIs point me into a direction or actually has a solution to install on / without getting error of missing -config?
See: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg1972760.html
@linux

bizdelnick ,

You have to replace these lines with something similar to this (change libaacs to libgcrypt everywhere). Then run autoreconf -iv (you must have autoconf installed). It will create a new ./configure script which will work if you did everything correctly.

Refer to documentation.

No, I guess Wayland is kind of on my to-do list…I just don’t need anything it offers. I’m grumpily enough implementing systemd already

anders OP ,
@anders@theres.life avatar

@REdOG
I see. Well for me too, Xorg offered all the features I need and is still more well supported than Wayland in some areas, but on my system Wayland has so much better performance. On Xorg I was having mouse lags, on Wayland it's just smooth.

@linux Sharing a 'small' inconvenience I had to fix with (I suspect is the same) - I couldn't launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory

The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn't work) was to:
a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd

This is why I prefer using Distrobox on my personal computer. No package for Signal-Desktop? No problem, run it through a Debian container using Distrobox.

gwendolencopper ,

Any virtual keyboard / on-screen keyboard recommendations for Gnome (Wayland) users? The default one doesn't support X11/XWayland apps, which unfortunately is most of them...

Pantherina ,

Yes poorly. The input method protocol was done by Purism (which says something as that company seems dead or whatever) and then basically untouched.

gwendolencopper OP ,

@Excigma I can swipe up to force the keyboard to appear, but pressing the keys does nothing in X11 apps (which use XWayland under Wayland), like Chromium browsers or KeepassXC

How do I properly resize my LVM partitions when it is inside LUKS?

Do I have to boot in a USB to do it or can it be done while the crypt is open/being used? I need to resize my root partition.

@linux

talesofaprinny OP ,
@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@atzanteol All's good. Yea, reason for the post was that even though I took the partitions offline it wouldn't still let me resize. So I think the best next move would be just booting into a USB and see if it lets me.

The whole disk well, only the boot is separated. The rest of the partition has the whole space controlled by LVM. Interestingly even though that may be the setup something was just rejecting my resize request.

Sadly have more to say but Mastodon limit is hitting haha. nutshell

atzanteol ,

Did you already shrink the filesystem? I think lvresize will refuse to shrink if the FS is too big (not sure - I don’t shrink volumes often).

Anyone knows how to properly start a multiseat wayland with a desktop environment or window manager running?

I just need simple stuff such as profile initialization of the user and if it's possible to just share the same discrete GPU across multiple seats?

The end result? I want to isolate my current user space from the gaming space where I can just connect using moonlight/sunshine. I want it all headless.

I may have to give it a go. I am similarly adverse to mucking with xorg confs.

Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I'm curious if it's easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

@linux

anders OP ,

@possiblylinux127 Fedora FTW 🙏

GnomeComedy ,

Hi! I sincerely want to thank you for your well thought out response. I apologize if the word troll came off wrong. I probably should have used a better descriptor. My primary goal was to be a voice FOR enterprise distros at home - because I saw mostly posts from people who probably aren’t professional sysadmins and have never even tried an enterprise distro.

I fully concede on the VERY new hardware being a challenge for RHEL, an Ubuntu LTS or similar. I’m unfortunately not in a situation where I can afford that problem (kids and daycare costs) so it’s fallen off my radar. I do occasionally run into it at work with research groups that just buy the latest/fastest gaming hardware without checking with IT (we would generally steer them towards workstation/data center grade hardware instead of gaming hardware…not applicable to this discussion for home use). If somehow I could acquire something with new enough hardware to have that problem I’d probably use Fedora on it (so I could just modify my Ansible to work with both), and wait for current Fedora to become RHEL and then that hardware would become RHEL for the rest of it’s lifetime. Mainly - the huge number of constant updates and the every 6 month big updates on Fedora are just too much hassle for me.

On gaming and the other comparisons about improvements on newer packages: I do agree with you. My personal approach has just moved to use what is “tried and tested” and “good enough”. It’s a pretty common approach for sysadmins to let other early adopters find all of the bugs in new stuff. For example: I’m excited about bcachefs, but when I installed Fedora Rawhide just to test it after the recent 6.7 release - I found it largely NOT ready for anything I would need to trust (commands that return the console, but no indication that they did nothing for example - doesn’t give me a good feeling about putting all of my family photos on it until it matures). For now, I’ll still use XFS for small systems and ZFS for large systems or where I need send/receive.

All of that said: I acknowledge these are preferences and my approach, not a " right" way. I do still think it’s a valid approach for some who wants less updates and a more stable config if they’re happy with “fast enough” and less potential for update breakage.

Thank you again for being respectful and detailed in your response. Cheers!

Corporate Spam Bot
@linux

is a booster-bot not really of linux, I would say ANTI-LINUX, and promotes constantly marketing by 3-4 corporations that seek to dominate linux and displace all alternatives.

@linux

Portrays as linux the products of IBM (systemd, Qt-corporation) and the distros that promote them by prohibiting alternatives.

BAN the corporate spam bot from all servers!

yianiris OP ,
@yianiris@kafeneio.social avatar

The majority of people speak of junk/fast food 3 brands of soda, 2, 3 brands of coffee/tea, 2 brnands of tropical fruit ,3 brands of power-drinks, 3 brands of beer,
as nutrition, 2 brands of phone OSs, and it is all crap if not bad for you.

So what is your point?

What is popular is what has been marketed, and it is usually both dominant and a very poor alternative to what it sells for.

@Rustmilian

@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

You should just block 99% of Linux insistence if you’re that butt hurt over what’s popular.
Also, the Linux community consistently doesn’t give a rats ass about marketing, we only care about what works well.
X11/Xorg for example is dying not “because of marketing”, it’s dying because it an unmaintainable mess with numerous unfixable problems and downright design flaws. That’s why freedesktop.org in collaboration with Xorg devs created and develop Wayland.

@krisfreedain @linux
I started from Ubuntu in high school and it felt bloated. I moved to Void which was nice, but not really supported in general. I started recommending Fedora to beginners but started using Alpine as my daily driver. Don't think I will ever move from Alpine, but maybe I will recommend something other than Fedora in the future.

ok took me 3 days to test, apologies :D
but unfortunately, no, doesn't work. Even the "old" iso stucks at the exact same position with the exact same behavior :(

rufus ,

Ah nice. At least something. But I don’t think it’ll change anything since it’s still grub outputting that, and not a life sign from the kernel.
