Is we that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

Hello! Halt on Linux is disabled for average user by default. It will try to request sudo/root password and if fails returns:

When I read through the release announcements of most Linux distributions, the updates seem repetitive and uninspired—typically featuring little more than a newer kernel, a desktop environment upgrade, and the latest versions of popular applications (which have nothing to do with the distro itself). It feels like there’s a shortage of meaningful innovation, to the point that they tout updates to Firefox or LibreOffice as if they were significant contributions from the distribution itself.

Hello! I have a very old PC with intel i915 graphics, which doesn't correctly display KDE and shows a lot of bugs. I know it is possible to switch to software acceleration in X server. On NVdia I can pass nouveau.noaccel=1 to kernel. So how can I disable hardware acceleration here? Maybe this is possible via Xorg config?

Are there any alternatives to the Internet Archive that are built around P2P, so that everyone can contribute to hosting/sharing web archives? Seems like having all these important archives hosted by a single organization isn't the best idea for longevity/redundancy

Hey All, When my desktop was Windows, I'd use my desktop to rip DVD/Blu-rays, move them to the movies folder, then use robocopy to copy just new files from my desktop to my Plex server. Used switches to copy just the new files and folders.

If anyone has any experience with Unified Remote, I could use a little help.

I may have messed things up....... I had a lot of docker config and data stored in /home/skynet I then ran a sshfs command and it disappeared. I was trying to send the contents of /home/skynet (server) to /home/shady/skynet (desktop). This was in order to be able to edit the files on the server on the desktop via VSCodium.

not a fan of huawei earbuds but I got a pair as a present.

Lately I noticed that when I want to ssh to a server using a password I need to specify -o PubkeyAuthentication=no or I won't be asked for a password and the authentication will fail (well, for all I know, setting some other option may work too).

Meaning, VMs with Xen and hardware virtualization support

I'm interested in using Varia since it has an option for remote however I am not seeing the option, do I need to do something different, I installed from flat hub.

I created a second partition on my main drove to install steam games, that way they persist in case I want to reinstall Linux or access from a portable windows install, but wanted it to mount on boot.

EDIT : Appreciate all the input, never did figure out what the cause was.... Somewhere in booting between two kernels it just .. stopped being a pain in the ass .... Not my favorite type of resolution

I control my media pc running Popos with a remote mouse/keyboard combo I found on Amazon and while this works pretty good, I would like a more "big picture mode" like experience that works well with using a remote.

Right now I use Read You on my phone to get RSS feeds and I read articles on my browser but I want to cut the time I stare at my phone throughout the day so I came up with this system:

I ended my last post by saying that the next version is coming soon, well here we are 3 months later (better late than never) and I am happy to announce that KleverNotes v1.1 is finally out.

Running into an issue where I have no internet connection. I've put iwd so I cam use iwctl for the wifi, enabled iwd.service, syatemd.resolv service and not sure what else i need to do. Ethernet doesn't work either but i didnt change the settings to UP on it since i wasnt planning on using it. Did chroot from what I read in the manual and no errors that I saw during the base install. Just trying to find the best way to fix lack of internet connectivity so any guidance on the issue would be appreciated.

I want to create a collage of 20 screenshots from a video, arranged in a 5x4 grid, regardless of the video’s length. How can I do this efficiently on a Linux system?

Typically when I'm working with photos, I'm doing graphic design type work. I've been using GIMP for this. GIMP is meant for raster graphics editing.

I'm looking for a better, more private solution to an intercom I have between the house and my barn. I have Ethernet run out there, and I currently use the "drop-in" feature on some Amazon echo devices. I'm looking to get away from the Amazon devices entirely (maybe implementing the pine speaker they announced?)

I'm having trouble getting an IP address via DHCP on my HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server running Debian. I've tried various troubleshooting steps, but nothing seems to work.

I don't know when this happened. There was a system update a few days ago which went fine. Two days ago I wanted to download something onto one of my HDDs and got an I/O error. After investigating I found out that I no longer am the owner of any of my drives and can't create/delete any files. Chmod/chown didn't help. Editing the fstab file didn't help since it had the exact same contens as when everything worked. Shuffeling exec,rw around has no effect. Mounting/unmounting didn't do anything. Phisically removing the drives also didn't work. Adding a completely new drive automatically set it to restricted. How the hell does soemthing like this happen? I don't want to do a system wipe.

I've worked on multiple bitmap fonts, and would like to open source them in some way of form.

Is there an equivalent to Google Drive in Windows for KDE?

Hi folks,

I wanted a podcast player that looks great and could be used in my region, with Fedora. So I found Musicpod as flatpack and downloaded it. But when I open it, and want to add podcast it says "It looks like your computer isn't connected to the internet" so I can't search. My internet is connected, I use other apps, without problem. Its on Fedora 40, with VPN on. Anything I have to change,or do you recognize this issue?
