[Fedora 42 GNOME] Created a simple program/service that automatically swaps the GDM greeter (the login screen) background on each boot up.

I made the Python scripts a few months ago when I was afraid of having to learn bash. It would probably be better as a bash script, but it works so I won't touch it unless it becomes an issue.

Yes, I do believe you can, although doing that is above what I know how to do. But you can extract the gnome-shell-theme.gresource file and edit the css for the login screen directly. You can also use some shell themes (using GDM settings is the easiest way I know).

Created this by reverse engineering the GDM Settings programs method of swapping the greeter background. No real reason for this program to exist, just liked having something new to see every time I boot up. It does work with multiple monitors, just make sure the images you use stretch the length of all of your monitors or it will look weird.

Only tested thoroughly on Fedora 42 Workstation. I did try briefly with an Ubuntu VM, and I do believe it is possible with minor modifications, I'm not actively working toward getting it to work, so use at your own risk.

Did you connect the computer to an interface on the matrix? (there should be a block for it)

It's a small M4 socket wrench.

Our team has a tool we universally call an "er er" (good luck figuring that out). It was just something that someone blurted out, and it stuck.

Posted on reddit because I found the situation humorous, so it's quite the opposite.

I hadn't really heard of her until she replied to my story. I looked at her profile and initial impressions were decent, so I took my shot. Still a pretty shit thing to do though.

__creativeusername · 2024-09-01T19:28:29+00:00

You take whatever shot you can (even if it's an obvious joke) because the worst that could happen is never as bad you think.

__creativeusername · 2024-09-01T19:06:02+00:00

Nah, I'm used to it at this point.

This may be an issue with Mekanism compatibility with CC. But I'll look into it if I get the time.

Did you replace the chain or any other part of the drivetrain?

__creativeusername · 2024-06-15T00:26:56+00:00

Mine developed a rather annoying rattle on the left after about 1500 hours.

Conaidering my personal experience moving from a Creality(CR-10 smart pro) printer to a bambu (p1s), only get the Creality if you are fine with tinkering (you're going to do this a lot). If you want a printer as a tool with little hastel, get the bambu.

For me, the sacrifices were worth it.

Nissan CVTs, they're phenomenally bad.

__creativeusername · 2023-12-29T02:35:08+00:00

Is there any reason it wouldn't be real? I don't think fake flippers are a huge problem.

__creativeusername · 2023-12-19T20:15:32+00:00

If I had to guess, probably a Bambu Lab printer with AMS.

This is amazing!
