There's a problem with my sound card where the audio is quiet after booting and goes back to normal after coming out of suspend mode. How difficult would it be for me to try and fix this myself and get it patched into the kernel? It can't be that hard, it would be just like, going into the code and like, changing the number. I taught operating systems in university. I think I can do this.

>>107276174
Well maybe the problem doesn't even require you to edit any code because it's a maybe a pulseaudio/pipewire problem, have you tried testing it with both?

Something more than just clipping masks plz

like in photoshop I can turn a layer into a smart object, liquify it, go back to the layer like it was liquified, modify it, and the changes are reliquifed. If I could get something even remotely close to something like that, I can 100% ditch windows and never look back...even if it is gimp

Is anyone experiencing a graphical/rendering glitches in Xfce when switching virtual desktops?
If I have firefox maximized, then switch to anther virtual desktop then switch back I can see messy pixel noise for about a split second. This isn't limited to firefox also happens whenever there's a major window color change, e.g. switching from a window that is all white to one that is all black and vice versa.
This does not happen with other desktop environments so it must be an Xfce specific issue, I also tested with with compositing enabled and disabled and it was the same so not related to compositor effects.

In case anyone cares, here's how you lower gamma and brightness in KDE:

qdbus org.kde.KWin /org/kde/KWin/NightLight preview 3000
qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl setBrightnessSilent 4500

YMMV. Might look too bright or too dark in your system, so set the values accordingly.

Can anybody shed light on the meaning of these tasks that are active at all times on my PC? Any of them that I can safely delete?

tumblerd

light-locker
mintreport-tray

blueman-applet
kdeconnectd
evolution-alarm-notify
evolution-source-registry

>>107279115
Here's a breakdown of these active tasks on your Linux PC:

| Task | Purpose | Safe to Delete? |
|------|---------|-----------------|
| **tumblerd** | Thumbnail caching daemon for file managers | Yes, if you don't mind slower thumbnails |
| **nm-applet** | Network Manager applet for WiFi/network control | No — needed for network management |
| **light-locker** | Screen locker/lock manager | No — important for security |
| **mintreport-tray** | Linux Mint system reporting tool | Yes, mostly optional |
| **gvfsd-metadata** | GNOME Virtual File System metadata daemon | Yes, but may affect file manager features |
| **blueman-applet** | Bluetooth manager | Yes, only if you don't use Bluetooth |
| **kdeconnectd** | KDE Connect daemon for device integration | Yes, if you don't use KDE Connect |
| **evolution-alarm-notify** | Evolution email client notifications | Yes, if you don't use Evolution |
| **evolution-source-registry** | Evolution email/calendar backend | Yes, if you don't use Evolution |
| **evolution-addressbook-factory** | Evolution address book service | Yes, if you don't use Evolution |
| **polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1** | Authorization/permission manager | No — needed for system security |

Safe to disable: The Evolution services (if unused), Bluetooth applet (if no Bluetooth devices), KDE Connect (if unused), and mintreport-tray.

Keep running: nm-applet, light-locker, and polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 are essential.

To disable a service, you can remove it from your startup applications in your system settings, or edit your autostart folder (`~/.config/autostart/`). Would you like guidance on how to disable specific ones?

have you tried disabling/blacklisting the AMD driver at boot (grub -> edit command line -> add "modprobe.blacklist=radeon modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu") and then running SSH in the remote system? tried nomodeset? or maybe run the recovery option in grub?

>I bet a full reinstall would also work
you don't need to reinstall linux, like, ever. also, if you can't even run a livecd, what makes you think the problem is your install, and not the kernel or maybe even the computer itself? why would you need to reinstall if that's the case?

Installed Gentoo on a new build, but ran into problems emerging a few large packages. I kept running into segfaults and a few crashes.

I ran memtest86 and found out I had some RAM issues, which I have resolved.

Should I reinstall Gentoo, or can I just reemerge @world? I'm worried that something got compiled incorrectly and I'm gonna run into problems later.

>>107279287
>anon, reset those settings to their defaults and try again
I tried that first. I think there was a firmware update I ticked off in the Gigabyte Control Center that did it and I can't see a way to roll that back. I hadn't touched the Linux AMD drivers yet, I was planning on doing that after a bit of playing with the lights.

I'm Googling and I've seen people using nomodeset or changing DPM settings, but I'm falling a bit short trying to actually do that. I'm probably a key or two away, but I'm not familiar. So, Grub pops up fine. I can highlight my distro and hit E, that loads a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Do I just drop your parameter or one of the other parameters I'm seeing suggested at the end of that? Scanning through, I didn't see any similar text to modify.

>you don't need to reinstall linux, like, ever.
Retards like myself have limited means, and the big red nuclear launch button is always there. I'm trying and haven't given up though.

>if you can't even run a livecd
I can run a liveCD, I just can't affect any changes to my install that fixes my boot issue. There again it's probably a skill issue, but I figure (temporarily) changing boot parameters so I can get in and update is probably the path of least resistance, right?

>>107279287

then your system upgrades aren't breaking your system for no reason. you're applying system modifications and deviating from the base system. system upgrade stability isn't tested for any additional packages you install using apt or using a 3rd party repo.

Are you not using Btrfs for the snapshots? I'm struggling with getting my server updooted because I have a kooky custom configuration, but at least I can do a full ZFS rollback after any kind of failure.

Mint has an XFCE version, so it might be best to do a clean install of that (and make sure you pick Btrfs this time). You can backup your files and configs, but will have to reinstall programs.

Android is what happens when corporations turn Linux into a restricted-access piece of shit then stick it into tablets and smartphones. At least it's better than Apple iOS.

Think I figured it out. The only way to interact with the SD card <s>(at least initially)</s> is by going to Settings > Storage > Move data to SD card. Yes, seriously. I guess it just moves everything to the SD card with no granularity regarding which files I do or do not want moved into there. Some weird shit is happening here. Even after it finished moving stuff to the 58-GB SD card, I still can't access this "Adopted Storage" section in any sensible way. I can easily access the the 25-GB internal storage at "/storage/emulated" and "/sdcard" and "/storage/self/primary" (all of this refers to internal storage).

- Cannot create symlinks in a folder in /sdcard: "ln -s /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/nginx/html/symlink /sdcard/Download/symlink" = "ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sdcard/Download/symlink': Operation not permitted". Can only create symlinks from /data/data/com.termux/files/home/symlink -> /sdcard/DCIM

If you are paranoid, grab binary packages for the tools necessary to build your system. This includes Portage, GCC, LLVM, and their respective dependencies.
Alternatively, just extract those from a stage3 tarball and upgrade as you normally would.

>>107280313

I'm not familiar with Timeshift, but I'm assuming it's simply a frontend for the filesystem snapshot feature, in which case the entire datasets of your choice (/home or just everything) can be reverted to the exact state when you made the snapshot, which can be before a minor update, major update or before you decide to rm -rf / for the fuck of it. Only things outside of the filesystem won't be included, usually EFI partition (which has to be FAT32), sometimes /boot (intramfs and kernels).

That is probably a very sensible platform for devs and others of a similar ilk.

>>107283211
Yes, here's a guess: the problem is that you're using a Windows music player when there are many excellent Linux music players which will serve your needs even better than Foobar. I use cmus, but if you want a GUI music player, those exist too.

Or if you really absolutely want to use your Windows music player, maybe try a more stable distro. You might find that things "just work" most of the time (that's my experience with Ubuntu LTS).

Foobar2000 is the only media player that can play my obscure format music accurately, so I use it for everything. I also need the 32-bit version because the faggot that wrote a good chunk of the decoders decided to get pissy and fuck off when the 64-bit transition happened and left everyone hanging.

Deadbeef comes close but it's very poor by comparison. Not accurate at all or I might've switched already. There simply is nothing better than foobar2000 (32-bit). And now it can't play shit with any output but null. :(

I can't seem to keep my computer running longer than 6 months without reinstalling my operating system. Every time I do a 2nd system release upgrade a dependency error occurs and it breaks everything.

what one should i use out of these?

   # Special keys to adjust volume via PulseAudio
    bindsym --locked XF86AudioMute exec wpctl set-mute \@DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle
    bindsym --locked XF86AudioLowerVolume exec wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ -5%
    bindsym --locked XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec pactl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ +5%
    bindsym --locked XF86AudioMicMute exec wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle


    # Volume Up
    bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec pamixer -i 5 && notify-send -u low " Volume: $(pamixer --get-volume)%"

    # Volume Down

That's exactly what flatpak is. If you want to modify your system you can use rpm-ostree as your package manager, which is pre-installed on Bazzite. But unless you really need to it's not recommended because no matter the distro user apps should always be installed through flatpak, appimage or snap.

>>107285477

Just the opposite. I can't get behind a VPN, which I assume is the issue. I live in Russia.

Gonna install artix for the first time. Should I install it with dinit or openrc? I cant decide because everyone says both are great options! Dinit is newer and supposed to be simple and straightforward while openrc is more mature and theres lots of documentation so i guess easier to find solutions if i run into issues.
Dinit seems to be the future, but openrc the trusty wise oldfag you can depend on. At least as i understand it

Is there anyway to remove the Arch package manager locations from KDE Discover? They're the "default" that was installed when I installed Arch, but I'm pointing Discover at flathub now and I have no need to Discover to manage pacman's packages (and Arch recommends not having that anyway) but I can't (via GUI anyway) remove the Arch repo locations from Discover as that option is greyed out (but I can flathubs, oddly).

Unless I'm blind, I don't see anything mentioning this corner case problem on the Arch wiki to know where to go to look in the files/configs to remove it manually.

>>107285561

I recommend starting with OpenRC to detox yourself from systemd first, but when you get more mature then go with Dinit because it's functionally superior and doesn't rely on runlevels like OpenRC or SysVinit

>>107285713
What's wrong with runlevels? You can do some interesting things with them by creating stacked runlevels.

>>107285666
>why does anyone need a screwdriver when hammers exist?
El retardo grande.

>>107285483
Yeah, I've actually heard that flathub blocks Russian IPs. Just install packages with rpm-ostree, or set up a VPN to access Flathub.
https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/VPN/

>>107285726
I hate systemd but I still think targets make a lot more sense than runlevels, but yeah, stacked runlevels can approximately be made to function like targets but this isn't an obvious feature and requires some tinkering and anon might not be prepared for this.

>>107285764
>Just install packages with rpm-ostree
How? I don't get what that thing even is.

>>107285806
In the usual case you just use default runlevel for everything anyway (Except boot for needed boot services). It's not clear why you need specific targets or stacked runlevels unless you're doing something specific in which case of course tinkering is expected just as when you need to do something custom with Systemd.

It's a package manager you use in the terminal like you would dnf, apt or pacman. "rpm-ostree install <something>".
Either way it's not really convenient to have to install software in a terminal, so just set up a VPN and use Bazaar.

>>107286059
>Either way it's not really convenient to have to install software in a terminal
That depends entirely on your workflow. It works just fine for me and others, but if the terminal scares you or you find it cumbersome then by all means use a GUI.

>>107285829
>It's not clear why you need specific targets or stacked runlevels unless you're doing something specific
Well here's something for example:
I noticed that the networking service took long time to start, probably because of my slow internet, and this service was responsible for most of my boot time, so I moved all the networking services to their own runlevel and made them start after the default level so that my display manager starts before the networking services.

>>107286095
I'm guessing you're using Netifrc? If you use NetworkManager then that's handled for you in the background unless you have a dependency on net-online.
Networking shouldn't be slow though, if it is then you might want to look into why your DHCP server is taking a long time to respond, etc.

>>107286075
Using a terminal to install software only makes sense if you already know the names of the packages you need. A GUI is both a search tool, a preview, a review section and an installer. It's just overall more useful at the cost of being less time efficient if you know what you're doing.
Also, that anon is using Bazzite. So he's either new or doesn't want to fuck around with CLIs.

>>107286125
For example, Pic related is my current boot. Sddm and NetworkManager start in parallel before networking is even ready. Biggest startup time offender is Udev which blocks the default runlevel from starting while it enumerates hardware and loads modules, etc.

>>107286163
There’s also info/show/etc. for descriptions of packages. Can’t speak for other DEs but Gnomes software center is dogshit because it doesn’t tell you a damn thing about dependencies by default, you just click install and then the package is installed and you have no idea what actually happened while the terminal shows you everything.

That's the fault of one of the routers in my house, I know this because the same problem occurs on other machines running windows that connect to that same router, the only way to fix it seems to be to reset the router but then the problem returns again after a while. I'm not really concerned about this problem though because there's more than one router here.

>>107286195
How do you generate this graph?

>>107286256
I know it's hard to troubleshoot. I had the same issue too on my managed switch and the way I solved it was making the managed switch use its DHCP relay function which intercepts DHCP and then sends it over unicast to the router. I probably had some issue with broadcast traffic but not sure what.

I hate broadcast and multicast, etc. They can easily ruin your network for seemingly no reason.

>>107287918
I never read the last one, but apitue taught me a lot.

why are freetards like this

Install Gentoo. Build it yourself.

>>107287943
I would just stay with RiverWM in that case.

Is there any point in Gentoo? I find the fact that you can compile/optimize for your hardware interesting but I dunno if it's worth the effort. Also, no systemd trash, control over your packages, and the fact that installing is not THAT complicated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZDyH_vu5QM). [Embed]

>Is there any point in Gentoo?
Picking compile-time features, automatically applying patches. I don't use patches but I figure it's a big thing for someone who needs them.
I find it nice I could use a modern desktop environment without NetworkManager.

USE="-modemmanager -networkmanager"

>I dunno if it's worth the effort
Effort as in having to wait for the compile to finish? Or setting up USE flags and whatnots? You don't have to fiddle with them once you got everything set up.
>no systemd trash
I picked Systemd over OpenRC. Problems, officer?
OpenRC looks and smells like the old sysV and I don't have a boner for sysV. And I actually make use of many Systemd features.

It's insane that Flathub is relying on this. The CDN that offers this is blocking Russia, Ukraine and Iran, among some other places. At least 277 million people CANNOT use Flathub because of this.

>>107288894
I chose Gentoo after Windows 7 because I knew I'd have full and absolute control over everything going on in my installation. There really isn't much effort required, partition your drive, download the stage3, throw in some USE flags, and you're basically done and can start installing whatever you want.
You don't even have to configure your own kernel anymore.
You can always change flags afterwards and recompile @world to apply the changes, so you don't have to do everything all at once.
The main advantage of Gentoo is that you won't need to distrohop because you're basically building your own distro anyway.

Thots on Cosmic DE?
It's coming out of Beta on a few weeks

I am putting Linux on my Chromebook and paying a tech shop 100 dollars to do it. This is to make the world laugh.

My plan is to put Manjaro for Archlinux flavor, and antiX for lightweight Debian and vim and server learning. Is this reasonable. I am just looking for critique on my plan.

I expect to not be granted advice on how to DIY here. My aesthetic preferences are for other people to handle basic security for my hardware, and stick purely in software land. It has a hardware lock. You may judge away, and even report me if I have broken the rules. Everyone here deserves some open source software off me.

I am literally about to practice on Linux gaming with a C-like langauge and pixels. first 64x64 and then perhaps a larger pixel grid once I learn how to animate that stuff. For now I keep it low-budget but tasteful with minimal effort.

>>107289555
>I am literally about to practice on Linux
how much is that going to cost you?

>>107289629
the practice is free. I have a raspberry pi I can use in a jam, but for now I am testing out ChromeOS and paying for a virus scan and hardware (electronic) changes to my laptop. I had trouble with pliars and never cut wires.

>>107289685
Good on you, glad to see someone jumping into layer 1. Buy some good tools, or fetch some good testing devices.

>>107289742
It is nice to delegate such stuff for now. I only need to build, and I'd rather not know the details behind utmost security for a while. Perhaps in my 50s I will study computer security. For now I can maybe get produced by friends to make some cool software.

>>107289750
Physical security is what you're delegating. Pay attention to it.

I used flathub on fedora 31 once, and hated what it did to my computer. It is literally so retarded.
Now my hate is so deep, I never used it ever again.
I use arch btw.

>>107289773
I will learn how to see what my software is doing, but I don't want to get too deep beyond analysis from the software realm. If I need a fresh boot I will hit up a friend, and network more carefully.

My plan is a friendly bank and cybercafe where I can safely set myself up for computing and finance. I don't know who is producing this.

time to gitgud anon

thinkn' of changing from mint to omarchy.
thawts? I need a distribution with a later glibc library + it looks pretty cool

>>107289937
I recently changed from Mint to Xubuntu, just so you are aware if you aren't a power user you are gonna have that feeling of flailing around for a bit before you situate yourself.

I'm on manjaro trying to install harmonoid-bin from the aur, the problem is that it needs zlib-ng-compat that conflicts with zlib, and a quick search told me that I will break everything if I remove zlib.

How can I solve this? Editing the PKGBUILD manually?

>>107290311
>I'm on manjaro
first mistake
>the problem is that it needs zlib-ng-compat that conflicts with zlib
weird package you want to install there - why would it need that?
>a quick search told me that I will break everything if I remove zlib.
And how did you come to the conclusion that you are supposed to remove it?
>How can I solve this?
rtfm

Looks bit too cancerous. Maybe there are better alternatives...

Has raw executable, are you a tard?

So i changed to Debian KDE, i dont know if i set a correct size of disk, is it better to erase disk and install or manual partitioning
512mb for efi
120GB for /
320GB for home
480gb SSD btw
Pls help

I'm going to keep an eye on things and shop for a new drive in the meantime, but what did my SSD mean by this? All I can think of that caused this is I had a force reboot a few days ago that required a manual fsck-ing.

>>107290549
Depends on what you're doing with the machine, Anon. Also for most machines you can get away with a 200MB EFI if space is a concern.

>>107290549
you don't need 120 gigs for / unless you're going to install every package ever, i'd cut it down a lot, maybe to 20 or 30 gigs
other than that it looks fine. you can't go too wrong with very basic partition setups like that. you may want a swap is the only thing

is windows demise near?
I wanna see it end already.

>>107290882
MS will keep it going at least another 10 years. But I would expect a Microsoft Linux at some point.
