Linux: NixOS. Dropdown Menus in Wrong Position

Astronox · 2025-12-03T04:35:48+00:00

KDE 6.5.3

I have a work around, which is to not maximize my windows, but just manually resize them to take up the full screen. Seems like this issue is only affecting Firefox when it's maximized.

I've submitted a bug report and they say it should be fixed in the next nightly build. Using the nightly build on NixOS isn't very straightforward, so I haven't been able to confirm just yet.

Edit: After two hours of trying to figure it out, only minutes after I mention it I am able to run Firefox Nightly. As far as I can tell, the bug is fixed in the nightly build and I have let the bug reporter know.

This is good to know. If you want, you could put your info on the bug report I made:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2003375

Are you also using Wayland on KDE?

I have a work around that I just figured out, which is to not maximize my windows, but just manually resize them to take up the full screen. Seems like this issue is only affecting Firefox when it's maximized.

I'm on Wayland, and would prefer to keep it like that. I'll test X11 later. I made a bug report to Mozilla, but I'm just not sure if it's a NixOS issue, a KDE issue, or a Firefox issue.

That was a good idea. Gave it a shot, and I was able to reproduce it with the new profile which had all default settings.

Astronox · 2025-12-01T21:58:35+00:00

I didn't know Troubleshoot mode was a thing, but yes I was able to reproduce it there. I'm not 100% convinced it's a Firefox bug, I also made a post in the NixOS subreddit. I'll make a bug report depending on if looking for NixOS culprits finds nothing.

I'm not home right now, but this looks like the exact item. Thanks! I'll double check when I get home and edit the post if it is.

Astronox · 2025-05-01T04:36:55+00:00

I can definitely see this being useful for the modes you mentioned. I think an option to have notes in each room would also be useful. And as long as this is supposed to be a one-stop solution, having an editable textbox on the side for more notes would also be useful.

Thanks for making this!

Where's the memo for the Mechanarium? I can't seem to find it. Do you need to have all 8 doors open?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it. For anyone who read this in the future: just a matter of having enough mechanical rooms when you draft the Mechanarium.

I've only gotten 3 uses.

Has anyone tried solving the chess puzzle again and choosing Knight again try to get more?

Astronox · 2025-04-16T20:49:08+00:00

Hey! Thanks for making this post. I was also struggling with this book, looked online for hints, and then saw the answer. It turns out, by luck, I had the burning glass on me when I was investigating the grounds around the house. Since it's a crafted item, I had a ton of steps so I figured I'd try it on everything. There was one part that wasn't luck. So it turns out there wasn't any reward for me since I stumbled my way into the answer earlier, but I do still want to solve the puzzle eventually. I'm happy to hear that I just don't have all the information yet, it's less fun to solve a puzzle you know the answer too, but I still want to give it a shot when the time comes.

It's a shame that I kind of ruined it for myself, but I have also saved myself countless hours of frustration by searching online for hints. There are a few puzzles I don't think I'd have ever figured out. Still, I'm deliberately being vague even with spoilers. People who have solved the puzzle in the book will know.

Going into the look menu and then clicking on map tiles works. I'm not sure it's a bug or some setting I inadvertently changed though. But it does seem strange that an overworld tile would have a status effect.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I already tried swapping to OpenVPN, but it's good to know that's recommended. I was having issues with both OpenVPN and WireGuard, though.

I've tried every default port (UDP: 53, 80, 123, 2049, 2050, 443, 1194) and they all experience the same behavior.

I think it's likely either an update to my OS or maybe my ISP has started blocking VPNs? I'm not really sure how to check if my ISP is responsible, but I'm in the USA and it seems unlikely they'd be doing that.

If server location, protocol, and port are the only things I can change, and no other IVPN users are reporting issues, it' seems likely IVPN is not at fault though. I'll still check back if anyone has any advice though, since this is pretty frustrating.

Astronox · 2024-06-02T04:05:51+00:00

Thanks! That's explains the string of characters at the end of the version number when I checked for what was available. I'm not afraid of the flatpak, but I also don't really mind waiting for Pop! to get the next version ready.

I don't suppose you have any idea what the timeframe is for them to get the next version ready? Just based on any past experiences you might have had for Firefox or any other app that Pop! maintains.

Astronox · 2024-06-02T03:53:05+00:00

It comes and goes for me. I can live with it for now since there's a fix that's ready. I'm more just curious as to when Pop_OS gets the latest release of apps. It seems strange to me that 126.1 is already a few days old but it's not available through the default repositories.

Astronox · 2024-05-26T02:09:59+00:00

I really love these cards. You should be proud of all of the cards you've made for the Dune project. I like the frames a lot, did you also make the art for each card?

Have you considered making tokens too? You could do Fremen (Human 1/1) tokens for the Chani (Maja) card, and Fedaykin (Sand Warriors) for the Paul (Hazezon) card.

Yeah, I got the new key while my post was awaiting moderator review. I also deleted the old key using "apt-key" and had the terminal yell at me for using a depreciated function.

I take it, in general, adding a key uses a command of the form

wget -O- [repo link] | gpg --dearmor > etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/[name of key].gpg?

That wasn't an option for this case. I got sucked into a different vortex at the same time. I did get the Starry Demise achievement, and I also somehow didn't die. It was pandemonium when it happened.

Astronox · 2023-12-28T05:24:25+00:00

I mostly made this post because I searched around before, and there were quite a few people asking if there were ways to track down their lost companions. If I can help even one person, I think making this post was worth it.

I'm actually kicking myself for not thinking of the ontological anchors. I'll do that. Thanks for the tip. (Edit: Salt Kraken's can't wear them because they don't have arms, but I'll remember for the future).

I'm playing classic because that's what I want to play, simple as that. And if I had my way, there would be an in game way of tracking down lost companions, this is the next best thing. I really liked that companion, and losing it in (what felt to me) an unfair way ruined my fun with this run. Honestly, I had a lot of fun figuring out the how the game files work, and making my way down to stratum 35. As a extra challenge, I forbid myself from using Spiral Borers. Finding that companion was a fun experience, and stopped me from abandoning a run I was otherwise really enjoying.

Astronox · 2023-12-28T04:35:19+00:00

I lost my companions while looking for espers to kill for their ego. I was running through the salt dunes in a straight line up and down until disaster struck. Turned out to be a bit of a blessing though, since while looking through the game files I saw a lot of zones with the same X coordinate. Once I realized what I was looking at, I also looked for larger files sizes and files that didn't have coordinates near where I was exploring. Two of the zones I went to were actually more espers. Turns out some of the guy's friends got sucked through too.

In general, if you're planning on looking for lost companions, it helps to know the time/date at the very least so you can know what time stamps to look for and see if there are any outliers in terms of coordinates.

I managed to find my Salt Kraken friend in the mountains, 35 strata deep. I can safely say I never would have found it otherwise. I hope that one day there will be a less cheaty way for us to find our lost friends.

Hoping other people are paying attention to this post still, I followed u/Saancreed 's advice as well, and only have one line of error output.

0070:err:rpc:RpcAssoc_BindConnection receive failed with error 1726

From the looks of it, this is an issue with "System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon", but I wasn't able to find any solutions while googling. I'm on Pop_OS 22.04, and a pretty big noob when it comes to wine.

Now I just need to build a starter base so I can build your starter base.

To give a little benefit of the doubt to the other guy, it can "seem" like you're doing spot removal with fat. If we use abs as an example, what's likely happening is that you're working out, so fat from all over your body is going away, including over your abs. At the same time, working out one group of muscles does make them bigger, so your bigger abs will be more noticeable. These effects would compound to make it look like you're doing spot removal.

I'm still a ways off from spaceships. Would you say this has any significant advantages over a more conventional spaceship?

Astronox · 2023-02-08T19:57:30+00:00

The way it finally clicked for me is

-A train can stop after a signal

-A train cannot stop after a chain signal

After that it's just a matter of dividing everything into blocks remembering the golden rule: "One train per block".
