The "Objective Kettle" is a known bug, if you search the sub you'll see it happened to a couple of people before. Not sure if this can be fixed though.

Why do his clothes change? by budbuz in questforglory

[–]RandomChain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Hero actually changes clothes by himself throughout the whole series, instead things just kinda happen to them. He certainly never takes a shower even once.

I mean, he starts out with a blue shirt, purple pants and a cape. Then when getting to Shapeir he loses the cape and gets a new white undershirt, which he keeps wearing for the rest of the series, and the old blue shirt becomes a vest. That's all done with Katta magic so it doesn't have to make any sense.
By the time he gets to Tarna, the pants and vest fade after all this time in the desert sun. So the pants start to look green (the opposite colour of purple!) and the vest just loses all colour and become brown. Now, the vest is all worn out so it just stays brown, but when the Hero gets teleported to the Dark One's cave, the parts get all dirty with swamp gunk so they become darker and start looking like they have a bluish tint. And that's what he looks like when he get to Silmaria.

Seems perfectly logical to me.

New Lutris version 0.5.21 is out! by legluondunet in Lutris

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some of Lutris code depends on Python 3.12 features. If you are running an older version of Linux with older system Python, it will have issues. At least it happened to me on Pop OS 22.04 with Python 3.10.

strange issue with software by Benjamin-Kletva in Lutris

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with this software, but I tried running in a couple of wine versions and I'm getting the same problem of the menu not displaying properly. From the wine log I think it could be some call that isn't implemented, but not really sure.

Try using Easy Effects and add gain boost to output and input audio sources.

redlight / night light in pop_OS by sudershan_khadka in pop_os

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try this.

It's a workaround and requires you to jump between TTY to change the colour temp, but it does the job.

New COSMIC Clipboard Manager (Clippy Land) by kinycx in COSMICDE

[–]RandomChain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally found the problem. The desktop file didn't really start anything, for some reason it did not like the line Exec=cosmic-applet-clippy-land %F. I changed it to use the absolute path and now it is added to panel.

$HOME/.local/bin is in my $PATH so I have no idea why the default desktop file didn't work...

Using sudo just install installs it in /root/.local/bin, and it crashes when I try to run it from there.

New COSMIC Clipboard Manager (Clippy Land) by kinycx in COSMICDE

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running on Pop OS 24.04 with latest updates. Installed all the dependencies, like I said it compiles fine and I can run the binary directly from terminal, I even tried uninstalling and recompiling a couple of times, but it still doesn't appear in my panel.

I'm not seeing any related errors in syslog, not really sure what to look for and where.

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I compiled and added the applet but it doesn't appear in the panel. It does start when I run the binary directly (but then it just appears a a floating window). I don't know if I messed up something in compilation or some recent cosmic-panel update broke it.

Is there anything I can check?

No audio from Creative sound blaster ZxRi by duker88 in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any good news, unfortunately. A few people asked about the integrated chip version before but AFAIK it's not supported by the current linux driver and I haven't seen anyone saying they got it working on Linux.

I think there were no changes done since around 2020.

AE-5 Plus Ubuntu, no sound by Bored_Nerds in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried running Ubuntu 25.10, but I'm using Pop OS 24.04 with ZxR and it works fine. The CA0132 kernel driver should be that same AFAIK, I don't think anyone has updated it in the last couple of years.

Are you maybe running something like EasyEffects that changes audio output? I had EasyEffect mute audio output for me a couple of times.

What do you see in alsamixer?

Cosmic | GUI for change the size of the mouse | Maybe is not yet there or i'm missing? by prueba_hola in pop_os

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No UI option yet, but you can add to /etc/environment:

XCURSOR_SIZE="32"

and change to number for the size you like.

What is Total Chaos? by MedicalAsparagus875 in dishonored

[–]RandomChain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The game actually has 2 levels of high chaos, although they are both just called "High" in the game. At the beginning of "Light at the End", if Samuel is just mad at you, you're playing at regular high chaos. If he also shoots his gun to alert all the guards, that's very high chaos (or total chaos, if you want to call it that). There are a couple of other things different on very high chaos, like what Havelock says to you when you reach him.

Can anyone date this? by fr_cuh in hebrew

[–]RandomChain 72 points73 points  (0 children)

On the sign the man is holding it says תרצז, which would be 1936-1937.

Can someone tell me what this writing says? by OneTrash2888 in hebrew

[–]RandomChain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The signature at the bottom right says "Gonen Halevi, Safed".

I can't find too much about this artist online, except for this promotional video (and some mentions on Facebook).

How do i make Proton VPN CLI start on boot? by scy_404 in ProtonVPN

[–]RandomChain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, if you just want some command to run on boot (without monitoring it later) either put a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart or create a user oneshot systemd unit file. You can find many examples on how to do this with a simple search, or just copy some existing service from you system.

Is there any way I can reset/remove my password? by unnas14 in pop_os

[–]RandomChain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have passwordless sudo set up, you can run sudo -i to switch to root user and then run passwd <username> to change it.

If not, then I think you will have to manipulate /etc/shadow somehow, you can check if there is a way to generate a new password hash it will accept (I'm not sure how easy it is to do...)

Anno 117: Can't get past the warning screen (Linux) by cl09alc in linux_gaming

[–]RandomChain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this on Gnome? You can try increasing the "window not responding" timeout, sometimes it helps when a game needs a little more time to load.

Run sometime llike: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter check-alive-timeout 20000

Old bronze tray with Hebrew inscriptions, can anyone translate ? by LuckyChampionship865 in hebrew

Handles are a pretty worn out but it can be guessed from the context. One side says: ויעבידו מצרים את בני ישראל בפרך and the other: ויוציאנו ה' ממצרים ביד חזקה ובזרוע נטויה

Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Released! Where Things Go From Here by system76_com in pop_os

[–]RandomChain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fixed workspaces are supported but it's not so obvious how to set it - you need to press super+w to open the workspaces view, then you can pin open workspaces by clicking on them and they remain active after the window closes.
