I broke my first kernel
  • Pretty sure you didn't break the kernel. Just that the nvidia driver is likely still incompatible with 6.11.

    Or maybe you are mixing nvidia drivers for regular linux and lts somewhere. The regular driver seems to have been rebuild for 6.11.

  • HP Laptop drains battery while turned off
  • I've had a similar issue with most of the laptops I have owned. The battery just discharges slowly when the device is turned off.

    I have no idea what causes it or if it can be fixed.

  • OpenPrinting News Flash - cups-browsed Remote Code Execution vulnerability
  • My guess is that most hits that scan is gonna catch is old enterprise networks, that has not been updated or maintained by security.

  • is there any way to increase the size of my /var directory under debian 12.7? (flatpak related)
  • Sounds like you created a seperate partition for /var. Only way to change that is to redo your partitions or bind mount an external disk as /var.

  • Logging: How can I discover what process had ran under a PID, if the process was killed?
  • journalctl lists PIDs, so it might have a corresponding executable name with it.

  • Firewalls: what SHOULD I block?
  • You should block everything, except the things you want to get through. A firewall (at least in Linux) blocks everything inbound by default.

  • SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform
  • It means that clients and bots for Discord will also work with this.

  • SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform
  • As far as I can tell, it's not Discord, but an open source alternative. So I don't think it talks to regular discord servers, but you can use any Discord compatible client to talk to SpaceBarChat.

  • Nextcloud 30 share via mail link broken?
  • I don't use the share via email function so I can't tell if that's working or not. But I haven't seen the other issues you mentioned. I can install/update apps fine in the web-interface and I haven't seen any errors regarding whiteboard.

  • What's up with still no Linux on snapdragon laptops? Is qualcomm not supporting it?
  • There is currently work being done to get support for some snapdragon laptops into the kernel. I think 6.11 got preliminary support for a couple and patches for others are still waiting.

  • Would downscaling a display allow for better battery life?
  • But you don't lower the amount of pixels you use. You just up the amount of pixels used to display a "pixel" when lowering the resolution. So the same amount of power is going to be used to turn those pixels on.

  • Confusion on video output
  • Have you tried the cachyOS support channels? They might do something different than Arch with drivers.

  • Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems to be fully disclosed in 2 weeks with no working fix yet
  • Could be quite a few different things.

    Could be the kernel itself, gnupg, openSSH or even bash.

    But we won't know for sure, until it's publically disclosed.

  • Getting very close to the GIMP 3.0 RC1!
  • Gnome 47 is out already though.

  • Server monitor android widget
  • I don't know if it has androd widgets, but ServerBox monitors any machine over SSH.

  • Mini PC for Jellyfin
  • I opted for the version with RAM and nvme for $270. had to pay shipping, but no import tax (lucky me). So all in all it was about $300 for me.

    And yes I run Linux on it. Arch Linux to be precise. Have not encountered any driver issues.

  • Unable to Start Plasma as Different User from TTY
  • Why not just log in as the user in TTY and then start it?

    I'n not sure I understand the use-case of why it needs a Plasma session to start a script that needs to keep running afterwards. If the script itself does not need a plasma session, then you can just start it as a user service with systemd.

  • Mini PC for Jellyfin
  • Exactly. It handles Jellyfin + other services very well.

    Resolution restrictions on Plasma Wayland?

    Hi all.

    Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

    At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

    So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

    I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

    Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

    EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.

    Using Linux in a Windows work environment

    My work place is a Microsoft shop through and through, so all their stuff is based in Azure, Active Directory, Outlook, O365 and Citrix. And they provide my with a Windows laptop for work, which is really great.

    The only issue I have with it, is the Windows part. So I took it upon myself to see if I can use a Linux install for work in a Windows environment. So I took my already installed private Linux laptop to work and it seemed to be going alright, expect that it's an old laptop at this point, so the GPU was not good enough to run the screens and the Bluetooth version was to old for the peripherals.

    So this weekend I took the plunge. I cloned the Windows drive with CloneZilla (in case of emergency, you know) and installed Arch Linux on my work laptop as the only OS.

    And so far, everything has worked. Except for 1 small detail that I totally forgot about! Printing. Specifically label printing, as we do ship some stuff around the country. The printer in question is a Zebra label printer G420-something and is set up on the internet Windows network at work.

    I've been at work all day and I haven't been able to setup this printer at all.

    This is mostly a rant and acknowledgement that running Linux in a Windows work environment is possible, but it's also a small whimper for help to see if anyone has managed to be able to connect to a network Windows printer.

    I've setup a default Samba and Avahi system, but it won't "probe" for the printer. I don't know the exact name/hostname/IP of the printer either.

    Lemmy Safety now supports cleaning local pict-rs storage from CSAM

    tværpostet fra: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/3076577

    > I posted the other day that you can clean up your object storage from CSAM using my AI-based tool. Many people expressed the wish to use it on their local file storage-based pict-rs. So I've just extended its functionality to allow exactly that. > > The new lemmy_safety_local_storage.py will go through your pict-rs volume in the filesystem and scan each image for CSAM, and delete it. The requirements are > > * A linux account with read-write access to the volume files > * A private key authentication for that account > > As my main instance is using object storage, my testing is limited to my dev instance, and there it all looks OK to me. But do run it with --dry_run if you're worried. You can delete lemmy_safety.db and rerun to enforce the delete after (method to utilize the --dry_run results coming soon) > > PS: if you were using the object storage cleanup, that script has been renamed to lemmy_safety_object_storage.py

    So true

    It really has...
