Following on this, I'd like some sort of dongle capable of running Lineage OS. I only need it to run Jellyfin and some other fdroid apps. Any suggestions?
Since i bought my ink tank Brother over a year ago, i still haven't had to refill it. For my previous Canon Pixma it would have been at least 2-3 cartridges. I mean i don't print a lot, but I'm amazed at how much I've been printing with this thing.
Once it runs out, actually Brother original ink doesn't come that much pricier than unbranded, but I'll see my choices.
I have a Surface 7 Pro running KDE Neon. I don't have a pen, but touch screen works perfectly, and I'd assume pen would too. Webcams are going to be an issue. You can find all information and support tables/matrix on the linux-surface website.

Here's a long explanation on the work being done to make the cameras work (hint -they don't, for our SP7 for now): https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Camera-Support
Can we have the names in the headlines of which MPs keeps consistently putting this crap on the agenda multiple times every year for the last couple of decades?
I actually clicked on the replace partition option on the installer, instead of a full disk wipe. The profile did look brand new once I managed to login in safe mode, but I didn't stay too long to check, as I just concluded hell, if it only boots in safe mode I might as well continue troubleshooting on the original install.
Anyway...After going back to the original image (as I had it backed up anyway), I paid a bit more attention at that weird popup on safe mode as I logged in, mentioning it failed to launch startlxde. So I ran
sudo dpkg --reconfigure sddm
And on the menu, for some reason sddm wasn't the first choice. After choosing it again, this time it went straight to the boot screen. Some other day I'll check again whichever random login menu is installed, and remove it, as it clearly causes issues.

Just an update. Today I made a rescuezilla full backup of the whole drive, and then wiped and installed KDE Neon brand new from Dec 1st release from their page. Guess what...that one ALSO fails to boot.

Yeah...It looks to me like it just says it went alright, right until I hit the poweroff button, because it's actually completely crashed.

About that - I´d like to run a backup that takes all apps and their configuration files (more than my own docs and files, which I already have properly backed in Seafile). What would you recommend just for the apps, their configs (and maybe the repos) etc?

Thanks. I pulled the journalctl. This is...A bit extensive. Just the entries from today are about 4MB in text. I'm having a very hard time finding the moment I force it off and then start again. Any good troubleshooting guide on how to find crashes?
I mean...I run the software discover update almost daily, whenever the icon pops in the tray...I don't remember seeing anything scary on the update list, but I might have missed it.
Hi guys! I have KDE Neon 6.2.3 running on my Surface Pro 7+, and up until now it's been running rather smoothly, for years. But today I seem to be unable to fully boot anymore on normal mode. Linux will get stuck on the KDE spinning gear, with the gear frozen. And it becomes unresponsive, to open alternative consoles with control+alt+Fx, or even control+alt+del. The only thing that works is a force shutdown by holding the power button.
I tried with a previous kernel, with the same results (current is linux-image-6.10.10-surface-1, I have a generic 6.8.0-49, but it also freezes). I can boot in safe mode. It opens a different login screen, and after a failed attempt of opening lxde, it fails back to my usual KDE session, in safe graphics mode.
What can I test? How can I see what failed at boot?
Yeah..but usually the the sticker ones with a slide have a space where the cover slides to, and all that space will be over the screen. Unless you want to permanently cover the punch-hole camera.
What was the magic word? You mean the one to invoke self destruction? I forgot what they said.
Yup, the whole countries Gulliver encounter seem to be satiric burns of British politicians, scientists and people and situations of his era. He made it very much on purpose.
Is there some list of recommendations or biggest discounts while having highest ratings?
The director was FURIOUS after he was pointed out that... Meaning of the name of the main character. Which he made as a reference/honor to Gullivers travels. He only found out after the movie had international recognition.
Except these days the camera is a hole in the screen in a mobile phone, so you'd be effectively blocking part of the screen too.
Hi guys!
I'm considering moving away from duckdns, as it's becoming increasingly unreliable. I'd like to check some other free dynamic DNS alternatives (I'm open to suggestions!).
My idea would be to have the server run under two different domains, but both directing to the same services. Is this possible? What shoudl I change in nginx in order to answer to two different domains/names?
Thanks!
Hi guys!
Just that...would you recommend any decent free Dynamic domain that is well regarded privacy-wise?
DuckDNS is becoming rather unreliable and prone to failure.
Thanks!
Hi guys!
I'm trying to create a WebDAV server that shares a NFS mount from my NAS. In short, I'm trying to create/share a backup folder in my NAS so my Graphene phone can run the backup.
How can I do this? All the guides mention about sharing /var/www/webdav and chrooting it. How can I share my own folder? Does it need to be /var/www/webdav? Can I share something else instead? Should I just link my NAS mount to /var/www/webdav?
Thanks!
Hi guys! I’m planning a 3-4 days weekend trip to Taiwan in early December. I haven’t booked a flight yet, so I can land in any other airport that isn’t Taipei, if the location is better. I’d like some more natural/countryside routes to do on a scooter if possible…not sure if away from the crowds is a possibility. My initial idea earlier this year was Taroko mountain/gorge…but yeah, I guess it won’t be in very good condition just yet. I saw that many parts aren’t planned to reopen anytime soon. What would be any good alternatives?
Thanks a lot!
Hi guys!
I purchased a few months ago a new AMD PC, with a 7700 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 7800XT GPU. I've noticed since, that my electric bill has been increased (compared to when I used an Intel i7 6700 with a 1070 GPU), I was wondering, is it possible to use a hybrid GPU setup kinda like laptops, where the iGPU from the CPU is activated for normal tasks, and the discrete GPU is only activated on demand? Would the GPU be unpowered/sleeping in the meantime?
....all this from a Linux perspective, I'm running Nobara 40.
Thanks!

Hi guys! I'm looking to monitor/control the power consumption of some old window-hanging aircon units, that don't really mind when the power is literally cut from the wall. I'd like to be able to see how much power they consume, and also being able to turn them on and off at the socket (the IR doesn't work all that well to begin with). I was checking about the Tapo P110M, but seems these are not sharing the power consumption offline, you need to register them in the app and they only do it through a Tapo account.
What alternatives do I have?
Important, I guess: As I live off an ex-UK colony here, we do have UK-like three pronged sockets, that's the form factor (Type G, I think?) I'd be needing.
So... Yeah. Just that. How can i enable Firefox translation in Android? I'd like to be able to use the offline translation feature.
Thanks!
Hi guys! I'm trying to disable Firefox' menu that shows when you right click. Sometimes, depending on context (ie, right click on a youtube video) you might get a webpage menu. But Firefox places their right click menu on top of the web's menu, blocking everything. I want to disable this, so the website/extension takes precedence, and the menu doesn't show in this case.
I see on some pages the option should be:
dom.event.contextmenu.enabled, which should be set to TRUE in order to let webs or apps take precedence. It is already set to true, and yet FF keeps placing their menu on top of the website's. What else can I check?
EDIT: Just in case, there seems to be also an services.sync.prefs.sync.dom.event.contextmenu.enabled, which might be synced from my mozilla account? Not sure how this one should be set.
Hi guys! Just...this. Whenever I search for firefox on the software installation app, or via dnf, I can see the only available version is v121...or I can update via flatpak to a newer one. How come the repo version is so old? How can I get the v130 officially?
Thanks!
Hi guys! I'm just a newbie in a way, that some years ago inherited a Nikon DX D7100 with a rather good Nikkor zoom 18-200mm VR (I understand it's the first one, as they might have re-released it at later stages). I played with it for quite a while and took some really good pictures, but at this point it's rather cumbersome to pack in the luggage, together with the drone as well. I'm considering a smaller mirrorless camera perhaps, so I can have something easier to carry around during a hike/tour/scooter ride. However, I would like to keep the portability with the zoom to some degree, as I really love how easily it made to frame subjects and get really good pics. Would you guys have recommendations for cameras (Nikon or not-Nikon), that can fit a Nikon lens with/without some adapter? Just in case this is a DX lens, not full frame, AFAIK (but I wouldn't mind some...vignetting, or digitally/automatically cropping the picture after the fact, if needed).
Hi guys!
Back in the day I used to have a VM holding nginx and all the crap exposed...and I did set it up with fail2ban. I moved away from it, as the OS upgrade was turning messy, and rebuilt onto an LXC container. How should I use fail2ban/iptables in order to protect/harden my LXC container/server? Do the same conditions apply, or will I have any limitations/issues due to the container itself?
Thanks!
So...I'm trying to get Proton 9.13, as I've just read it might be able to run The Casting of Frank Stone without crashes. And...I CAN SEE IT. When I choose Steam on ProtonUp-QT. Or when I choose Bottles. But when I choose Lutris, then add version...the latest GE-Proton it shows me is 8-26. Nothing newer than that. What gives? Why?
Hi guys! It's been a long while, and I still struggle with Deluge catching brand new releases of movies that just about everyone's downloading.
A bit of background, I have 1Gbps connection, and Deluge in headless mode (that's why I chose Deluge, for headless you get either Deluge or Transmission...AFAIK those are the only two supporting it).
So, whenever my -arr servers catch the latest release of the very latest movie or TV show, Deluge catches it, and faceplants it with a download error immediately. I can either "force check" or "resume". Either way (doesn't matter which), it will error again in a second or two. This struggle continues for a while of resume/error/resume, until it finally starts to download a larger chunk...for it to error again a minute or two later, after downloading several hundred MB. And then another section of constant errors. Finally, it will get stuck at the end at 99%, where it really needs a "force check" to find whatever data was corrupted, redownload that, and finish.
Any idea why this happens? Any way to fix/avoid it? I'm not sure deluge is connecting to fake seeders giving it corrupted data and it fails to catch/fix it. Any help would be very welcome. Thanks!
So...yeah. Looking at file size, it clearly beats older 264 or even 265. I don't mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients, I think the size difference in size might be worth it. But not sure which groups I could focus to look for these AV1 releases, seem they're quite scarce still?
Hi! I'm currently looking onto perhaps running Jellystat. But the instructions seem to be a bit...lacking? Is there a step by step guide on how to get it up and running?
Thanks!
Hi...Considering to bring an old Mavic for a trip to Vietnam soon. But seems you might need to submit every planned flight route 2 weeks in advance? Is this for real? What's the situation on the ground?
Hi guys!
So...just that. I'm looking for some recent developments in the GH clones scene...maybe someone made some GH variation that includes venues and characters? It kinda gave the whole vibe to it.
I installed the mods for GHWT that allow me to play a bunch of extra songs, and that's neat and all, but it plays with an insufferable delay on Linux, way over the limit of what you can adjust/correct in game. It plays at perfect 30/60fps, but it just has intolerable input delay, which forces me to play it on Windows. So...I was wondering if there's anything newer, with more songs etc. And characters, and venues. And blackjack, and hookers.
Thanks!
Hi guys!
When I saw this tiny little guy, I had to go in and get it. And so I received it today. My first experience is...the software is a bit rough at the moment. And now I'm having trouble with the keyboard detection. It's no longer working, and I"m not sure what's wrong. Basically, it worked initially, but after I unplugged it to dump some isos onto it*, the USB keyboard emulation seems to no longer work.
And since I'm one of the very first users...I think have no documentation (yay). I see there's a Chinese forum where more people mention a USB keyboard issue, but I don't think this is sorted.
Anyone else tried it? How's your experiences so far? Any ideas how to fix the keyboard issues? Still, for all its initial wonkiness, I clearly see this as the future for a KVM device, instead of a full blown Raspberry Pi board, which I think is a bit overkill.
*: The 'full' version comes with an embedded 32GB microSD, of which 8GB is for the OS, but the remainder is a separate partition for ISOs...you connect it as a USB storage to a PC and drop your ISOs there. At the moment you don't seem to be able to mount a random file from your PC via the browser UI. Only ISO files it already has in its own storage.
