lemmyreader , to linux in Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman
  • 28 juli 2014 — What do you think about Linus Torvalds? I met Linus and his wife briefly at a party in 1999, and haven’t crossed paths since.

lemmyreader , to linux in Disk space counted twice on root folder?

Wondering : Does duf do a better job than df with btrfs ?

lemmyreader , to linux in Found a security bug in LMDE6, need some help

Yes, go ahead and file the bug. And as others mentioned already, the custom screensaver modifications of XScreensaver like for LM may have bugs. The author of XScreensaver has been complaining about this several times.

The bug you found looks similar to this one :

Unlocking a machine locked with Xfce’s screensaver xfce4-screensaver has long been a simple matter of turning two monitors on at the exact same time. That makes Xfce4-screensaver versions prior to 0.1.9 segfault and crash - leaving the machine unlocked. This very unfortunate Xfce bug has been open since October 29th 2019 and we have pointed fingers at it several times before. Xfce developer Sean Davis has finally closed this gaping security hole. He explained that the embarrassingly long delay before this security vulnerability was addressed was due to “real life conflicts” in a brief comment on March 22nd. He did not elaborate and we did not ask for further details since it is likely none of our business.

lemmyreader , to linux in How do I change the default login screen?

I think I’ve read somewhere that xrandr only works with Xorg and not with Wayland.

lemmyreader , to linux in what linux OS should I install on a backup notebook if my main one is debian?

Simply install debian 12.5 again, the easiest choice.

Good choice.

Install linux mint, so I get ubuntu but without them throwing their subscription services down my throat. I’m unsure about other advantages, as ubuntu is debian based, maybe the more frequent program updates? Kernels are also updated more often than with debian as far as I know. Do you know of other advantages?

There’s LMDE, Linux Mint Debian version.

Go for FreeBSD: this might require a learning curve, because this is an OS I’ve never used. Are commands that different from debian?

Yes, commands are different (For example ifconfig and not ip. And watch on Linux is something different on FreeBSD) and you can expect several things to not work out of the box. Also, mounting removable devices is different. Documentation is very good though unless your reached a niche problem. I’d suggest to first toy around with FreeBSD in a VM (Qemu or VirtualBox) if you want to sneak preview it and learn more.

lemmyreader , to linux in How do I change the default login screen?

I guess KDE means using SDDM. Would this help ? wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Login_session_appea…

lemmyreader , to linux in can you link a guide to flash custom firmware (lineageos) on debian on a redmi 9c or help me flash it?

With some phones you need to go through extra steps to be able to do OEM unlocking. Looks like it is the case here, see the steps in the FAQ linked here : en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html

lemmyreader , to linux in Is Linux Mint's package repository having issues or is the problem on my end? (Solved, I think)

This appears to have solved the same problem for others :

lemmyreader , to linux in Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start

While toolbox and distrobox seem very similar, distrobox comes with a slight warning :

lemmyreader , to linux in Linux really has come a long way

I don’t consider MAC OSX as part of BSD, just like Android isn’t part of Linux Desktop, but only uses the Linux kernel. OSX took parts of BSD and shielded it behind a proprietary wall, because the BSD license offer no protection from that. So they become separate projects the moment they enter the Apple domain.

Check : What happened to the open source Apple Darwin OS then ?

tl;dr : Darwin OS is kind of obsoleted.

Up to Darwin 8.0.1, released in April 2005, Apple released a binary installer (as an ISO image) after each major Mac OS X release that allowed one to install Darwin on PowerPC and Intel x86 systems as a standalone operating system.[12] Minor updates were released as packages that were installed separately. Darwin is now only available as source code. As of January 2023, Apple no longer mentions Darwin by name on its Open Source website and only publishes an incomplete collection of open-source projects relating to macOS and iOS.

lemmyreader , to linux in LMDE6 started to drop Realtek wifi card

Kernel is 6.1.0-21-amd64 but I don’t know has the kernel been updated recently.

zgrep linux-image /var/log/dpkg.log* can tell you more.

lemmyreader , to fediverse in Is there no mobile app for Hubzilla?

There was. Last update 2019.

lemmyreader , to fediverse in [opinion] By sunsetting Section 230, Congress could be about to break the internet as we know it

Sorry about that.

No worries. The archive.ph link gave me a Google reCAPTCHA to solve 😱 but the original link was perfectly readable for me. What were the paywall comments about, was it a non EU thing ?

To extend the link collection here’s a WayBackMachine one :

lemmyreader , to linux in [HELP] I can't login nor elevate permissions in dm/de

Do have the startx command installed ? You can use that from the command line without DisplayManager (Switch to a virtual console with e.g. ctrl-alt-F2). And with XFCE4 you can use the command startxfce4 to start from the command line without DisplayManager. This could help troubleshoot.
