> We’re happy to share that DeepComputing’s DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13 is now in stock and shipping in the Framework Marketplace. This is very much a developer-focused board to help accelerate maturing the software ecosystem around RISC-V, so we recommend waiting for future RISC-V products if you’re looking for a consumer-ready experience. We shared more detail on the Mainboard in an earlier blog post and video, but as a quick summary, this is powered by a StarFive JH7110 processor that uses the open source RISC-V ISA. The team at DeepComputing designed it to drop directly into a Framework Laptop 13 chassis or Cooler Master Mainboard Case.

It's the same error if I try VANILLA or GAPPS

[SOLUTION] It works after you enter a password using "lxpolkit".

2. I am having trouble transitioning to Linux where I am not able to simply navigate to additional hard drives contained in my laptop or attached via usb. I have my torrents on an external drive, and it keeps getting renamed, easystore somehow became "owned" by root and inaccessible, and I had to switch to easystore1 which was created in the same folder. After I switched, easystore1 became owned by root, and I had to switch to easystore2, which had been created.

In addition to this, I can't browse to the external hard drive through plex media server or radarr/sonarr, it just doesn't show on the menu. I know it's a permission issue, but I don't understand how that works.

I was happy up to a point, but my Linux installation is becoming what I was afraid of, a test showing me how little I know, and a time-eater that causes my wife to wonder what happened to her husband.

Please, I want to be free, but I don't want to just say bye to my hard drives and my GPU. Help me, community. You're my only hope.

Hi y'all! My set up:

• Desktop PC, running Ubuntu 24 and KDE 5.27
• Local server running Ubuntu 24

I have had my Dolphin file browser set up to connect to the local server vis SSH since forever but starting this week, it can't seem to connect. It just says "Loading..." forever, no error.

This is the URL it uses for this connection:

sftp://[email protected]:22/

Until last weekend, it just worked. I don't recall anything happening around that time. I don't think anything has changed on the server.

I can still connect via SSH at a terminal just fine so I know the server is online & the user hasn't changed.

Are there logs for Dolphin somewhere? How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks for any ideas!

EDIT: I, uhhh... rebooted and it works now. Thanks anyway @[email protected] you taught me how to troubleshoot this tool and I appreciate that.

I am looking to switch to a different Linux distribution (or BSD). I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is quite nice, but I'm having issues with my USB ports and it takes a hot second to boot up.

However, the reason I'm asking here instead of going straight to DistroWatch is that my laptop has a problem. When I turn it on, it bootloops unless it's connected to power when I press the button. As such, this distribution would need to be able to handle running for weeks on end without a reboot.

I could get this repaired or replaced, but I have neither the time nor the money to spare.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just slap Fedora Kinoite on it and call it a day?

EDIT: I went for Debian FreeBSD, as well as running fwupd, and it's all working now. Thanks!

Does anyone else have this issue with the Flatpak version of Bitwarden.

Explanation: When you update anything in a login item, such as the username or password, and click Save it does not update. You must click Edit agin and then click Save again for it to update.

There is an issues on the Bitwarden GitHub.

Edit 4: I think I've fixed the issue. I uninstalled vim, deleted ~/.viminfo and /etc/vimrc, then reinstalled vim. I jumped around a file a bit, went in and out of edit mode, and type a bunch of ~ and it didn't jump the text around at all. Still not sure what I did, but it appears this variation of turning it on and off again worked.

I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I was holding my laptop while I had a vile open in vim, and I slipped, mashing a bunch of keys on the keyboard by mistake.

After doing this, I can't type the ~ character anymore. Anytime I try to type it, it jumps the text to the last line, putting the last line at the top of the editing screen so that's the only line of text showing.

I thought maybe I had set an option that would show up in ~/.vimrc, but there's no ~/.vimrc file. There is a /etc/vimrc file, and a ~/.viminfo file.

I've searched and had no luck finding out what I did to cause this behavior. I also tried looking through the vim manpage and couldn't find any info there either.

Edit 3: I just installed neovim and in neovim it acts as expected when I type the ~. Something I did notice is that in vim, I now have a blinking block cursor in insert mode as well as in visual mode, while in neovim, it's a block cursor in visual mode and a vertical bar cursor in insert mode. I think this was the normal behavior in vim prior to whatever the heck I did.

Hoping someone knows what the heck I did. Thank you!

Edit: clarified what happens when I try to type ~

Edit 2: added details of the .vimrc and .viminfo files

Note that DistroWatch is not the only one affected by ban on FOSS related article links on FB.

Edit

My question was very badly written but the new title reflect the actual question. Thanks to 3 very friendly and dedicated users (@harsh3466 @tuna @learnbyexample) I was able to find a solution for my files, so thank you guys !!!

For those who will randomly come across this post here are 3 possible ways to achieve the desired results.

Solution 1 (https://lemmy.ml/post/25346014/16383487)

``` #! /bin/bash files="/home/USER/projects/test.md"

mdlinks="$(grep -Po ']\((?!https).\)' "$files")" mdlinks2="$(grep -Po '#.' <<<$mdlinks)"

while IFS= read -r line; do #Converts 1.2 to 1-2 (For a third level heading needs to add a supplementary [0-9]) dashlink="$(echo "$line" | sed -r 's|(.+[0-9]+)\.([0-9]+.+\))|\1-\2|')" sed -i "s/$line/${dashlink}/" "$files"

#Puts everything to lowercase after a hashtag lowercaselink="$(echo "$dashlink" | sed -r 's|#.+\)|\L&|')" sed -i "s/$dashlink/${lowercaselink}/" "$files"

#Removes spaces (%20) from markdown links after a hashtag spacelink="$(echo "$lowercaselink" | sed 's|%20|-|g')" sed -i "s/$lowercaselink/${spacelink}/" "$files"

done <<<"$mdlinks2" ```

Solution 2 (https://lemmy.ml/post/25346014/16453351)

sed -E ':l;s/(\[[^]]*\]\()([^)#]*#[^)]*\))/\1\n\2/;Te;H;g;s/\n//;s/\n.*//;x;s/.*\n//;/^https?:/!{:h;s/^([^#]*#[^)]*)(%20|\.)([^)]*\))/\1-\3/;th;s/(#[^)]*\))/\L\1/;};tl;:e;H;z;x;s/\n//;'

Solution 3 (https://lemmy.ml/post/25346014/16453161)

perl -pe 's/\[[^]]+\]\((?!https?)[^#]*#\K[^)]+(?=\))/lc $&=~s:%20|\d\K\.(?=\d):-:gr/ge'

--- Hi everyone !

I'm in need for some assistance for string manipulation with sed and regex. I tried a whole day to trial & error and look around the web to find a solution however it's way over my capabilities and maybe here are some sed/regex gurus who are willing to give me a helping hand !

With everything I gathered around the web, It seems it's rather a complicated regex and sed substitution, here we go !

What Am I trying to achieve?

I have a lot of markdown guides I want to host on a self-hosted forgejo based git markdown. However the classic markdown links are not the same as one github/forgejo...

Convert the following string: [Some text](#Header%20Linking%20MARKDOWN.md) Into

[Some text](#header-linking-markdown.md)

As you can see those are the following requirement:

• Pattern: [Some text](#link%20to%20header.md)
• Only edit what's between parentheses
• Replace space (%20) with -
• Everything as lowercase
• Links are sometimes in nested parentheses
  • e.g. (look here [Some text](#link%20to%20header.md))
• Do not change a line that begins with https (external links)

While everything is probably a bit complex as a whole the trickiest part is probably the nested parentheses :/

What I tried

The furthest I got was the following:

``` sed -Ei 's|\(([^\)]+)\)|\L&|g' test3.md #make everything between parentheses lowercase

sed -i '/https/ ! s/%20/-/g' test3.md #change every %20 occurrence to - ```

These sed/regx substitution are what I put together while roaming the web, but it has a lot a flaws and doesn't work with nested parentheses. Also this would change every %20 occurrence in the file.

The closest solution I found on stackoverflow looks similar but wasn't able to fit to my needs. Actually my lack of regex/sed understanding makes it impossible to adapt to my requirements.

I would appreciate any help even if a change of tool is needed, however I'm more into a learning processes, so a script or CLI alternative is very appreciated :) actually any help is appreciated :D !

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

I'm using Fedora KDE spin since last year, and have a need for the commands / a script to change power management and lock screen settings via the console (instead of manually going through the GUI).

I tried googling the commands, but feel like I didn't even get into the right direction.

If anyone could point me into the correct direction, that'd be greatly appreciated. A ready solution is nice, but I'd also like to know how to find such things by myself in the future.

Sorry if I use the wrong terminology, I used Windows until I switched last year.

(I posted this weeks ago in the /c/Fedora, but unfortunately didn't get any replies.)

Back again with another question thread looking for alternatives for my two most important apps that'll make me switch to Linux+Android:

Is there anything like PastePal on Linux with an Android app? The biggest thing about PastePal is that it lets me create a catalogue of text/images snippets that I can call up at any time on MacOS with CMD + Shift + V

The best part about it is that on iOS, I can use their custom keyboard and paste anything from my snippets library from the keyboard in places that don't usually allow you to paste text.

The app will sync everything I've copied on my Mac and make it available on my phone/iPad via either the app snippet library or the keyboard.

This is probably functionality that would be right up KDE Connect's alley to implement if it doesn't already exist.

!

Sooo there's free software (“Everyone should be able to write open source software!”) and there's open source software (people programming their own computers for their own communities). Ideally, Neima should be able to program her computer to help her kids do their homework or for their sports club. So there's open source software that's written for the developers community, and there's open source software that's written for the GNOME community, which is polished and truly a delightful experience for new users: if for example you installed Linux Mint with Cinnamon, you'd connect to the wifi and probably be immediately greeted with a notification telling you that your printer has been added and is ready to go.

I'm not saying that Linux users should learn programming, especially if they don't know about e.g. GNU Guix, Skribe/Skribilo/Haunt, or SICP (that's directly referenced by the Haunt info pages – I promise you, starting a blog as an English speaker with a Skribe implementation and reading SICP once you get comfortable enough could get you started in months); but that of course, learning any field on such a platform as Stack Overflow would provide an absolutely stupid experience, whereas the ideal learning medium is books.

It isn't enough for Google to insert far-right suggestions in YouTube shorts; they've deliberately sabotaged features in their search engine to get us to generate more ads, and Google Scholar results are, by the way, the bottom of the barrel too. Compare queries results to "sex work" or "borderline disorder transgender" with those of HAL and wonder why there's a public distrust in science. More broadly, Google hinders our relationship to information, and we're both trading it for a far-right agenda.

The same is just as true for LaTeX: it's a great, intuitive language, provided that you read some good introduction on the topic. As a matter of fact, Maïeul Rouquette's French-speaking book is available for free on HAL.

I'm more and more fed up as I write that and I'm pretty sure it shows. You may totally use open source software, meant for the non-technical community of a graphical library, desktop environment, Linux distribution, and so forth. But if you really wanted to "learn Linux", please install any distro you're comfortable with and read some good book on whatever topic you want to work on.

A few weeks a go discord on linux had an update that enabled you to do screensharing on wayland even with audio.

There are a few bugs. For example, you can not change the window and sometimes have to reactivate the audio check box to have the audio work. Sadly the flatpak could not shit that update, because the chromium version shipped has to major bugs in flatpaks (issue).

But the stable .deb has now working screen sharing with audio. That is something that x11 does not have.

Ok, getting Linux setup as Windows enshitiffication continues...I installed Arc Menu and it's almost perfect, but the app categories have mostly themed icons, just a few of them don't. Any way to change these last 5 icons on the far-left side?

!

EDIT: Solved. Took me longer to figure out than I want to admit, but in my case, those category icons were coming from Zorin OS's built in menu settings. So I launched the "Main Menu" from Arc Menu, which brings up Zorin's menu editor.

Then clicking on "Applications" shows the categories, at which point I could right-click on a category, then "properties" and click on the icon

The system icons are stored at /usr/share/icons -- browse to the right icon, select it and restart gnome (or log out and log back in)...everything is fixed. Hope this helps someone else save a bit of time down the road 🤷

I have a server running Debian that has been connected to WiFi for a long time, but I have since moved it and given it a wired connection. It still seems to be using WiFi though, and in my router settings it shows up as connected through WiFi and not through ethernet.

Now I want to make sure that I can switch over from WiFi to ethernet directly from an ssh-connection so I won't have to connect a screen to get direct access.

What is my best bet here? A lot of the tools I find used for different network operations are not pre-installed, and I don't want to be installing just everything being suggested. Can I solve this by installing network-manager and using nmcli?

EDIT: I also want to disable the wireless card.

EDIT2: No eth-interface shows up when running ip link show, EDIT3: but r8169 0000:02:00.0 enp2s0: renamed from eth0 shows up in dmesg and enp2s0 shows up in ip link show, so I guess it is recongized then.

[SOLVED] EDIT4: I made the modifications manually in etc/network/interfaces, and now it seems to work. I entered the following lines:

auto enp2s0 iface enp2s0 inet dhcp

And then it showed up in my router. I then continued to comment out the lines enabling the wireless interface, and after reboot it works fine still.

It's fixed now.

Before it worked. !

I've seen this video of Timothy Roscoe at USENIX ATC '21 recently and was very interested in multikernel OSes.

While Barrelfish is abandoned, it seems that Kirsch is his successor.

However, since I've seen this video I wonder what changed since the keynote, why it doesn't seem to be a thing for mainstream kernels and if there was any roadmap/will to expand mainstream kernels like linux to embrace the whole hardware.

Do you have any pointers/ideas or resources to share on this?

so if you have some reason to want such a thing, well I guess it exists. github.com/chep/copilot-chat.e…

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated to this excellent piece of software.

I'm proud to share a major development status update of XPipe, a new connection hub that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local desktop. XPipe 14 is the biggest rework so far and provides an improved user experience, better team features, performance and memory improvements, and fixes to many existing bugs and limitations.

If you haven't seen it before, XPipe works on top of your installed command-line programs and does not require any setup on your remote systems. It integrates with your tools such as your favourite text/code editors, terminals, shells, command-line tools and more. Here is what it looks like:

!Hub

!Browser

Reusable identities + Team vaults

You can now create reusable identities for connections instead of having to enter authentication information for each connection separately. This will also make it easier to handle any authentication changes later on, as only one config has to be changed.

Furthermore, there is a new encryption mechanism for git vaults, allowing multiple users to have their own private identities in a shared git vault by encrypting them with the personal key of your user.

Incus support

• There is now full support for incus
• The newly added features for incus have also been ported to the LXD integration

Webtop

For users who also want to have access to XPipe when not on their desktop, there exists the XPipe Webtop docker image, which is a web-based desktop environment that can be run in a container and accessed from a browser.

This docker image has seen numerous improvements. It is considered stable now. There is now support for ARM systems to host the container as well. If you use Kasm Workspaces, you can now integrate the webtop into your workspace environment via the XPipe Kasm Registry.

Terminals

• Add support for the new Ghostty terminal on Linux
• There is now support for Wave terminal on all platforms

Performance updates

• Many improvements have been made for the RAM usage and memory efficiency, making it much less demanding on available main memory
• Various performance improvements have also been implemented for local shells, making almost any task in XPipe faster

Services

• There is now the option to specify a URL path for services that will be appended when opened in the browser
• You can now specify the service type instead of always having to choose between http and https when opening it
• There is now a new service type to run commands on a tunneled connection after it is established
• Services now show better when they are active or inactive

File transfers

• You can now abort an active file transfer. You can find the button for that on the bottom right of the browser status bar
• File transfers where the target write fails due to permissions issues or missing disk space are now better cancelled

Miscellaneous

• There are now translations for Swedish, Polish, Indonesian
• There is now the option to censor all displayed contents, allowing for a more simple screensharing workflow for XPipe
• The Yubikey PIV and PKCS#11 SSH auth option have been made more resilient for any PATH issues
• XPipe will now commit a dummy private key to your git sync repository to make your git provider potentially detect any leaks of your repository contents
• Fix password manager requests not being cached and requiring an unlock every time
• Fix Yubikey PIV and other PKCS#11 SSH libraries not asking for pin on macOS
• Fix some container shells not working do to some issues with /tmp
• Fix fish shells launching as sh in the file browser terminal
• Fix zsh terminal not launching in the current working directory in file browser
• Fix permission denied errors for script files in some containers
• Fix some file names that required escapes not being displayed in file browser

A note on the open-source model

Since it has come up a few times, in addition to the note in the git repository, I would like to clarify that XPipe is not fully FOSS software. The core that you can find on GitHub is Apache 2.0 licensed, but the distribution you download ships with closed-source extensions. There's also a licensing system in place as I am trying to make a living out of this. I understand that this is a deal-breaker for some, so I wanted to give a heads-up.

Outlook

If this project sounds interesting to you, you can check it out on GitHub or visit the Website for more information.

Enjoy!
