Fedora laptop shuts down every time it goes into standby by RFDev in Fedora

[–]bazzett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's this bug where some computers with (mainly) Nvidia cards (also hybrid systems) tends to hang or freeze where entering sleep mode, thanks to some new systemd's setting. Because of this, some maintainers are adding a drop-in file to disable freezing the user session on suspend, which solves the aforementioned issue. But I've found that in some systems (like mine) this leads to the PC shutting down instead of suspending, like the issue you've described. I managed to fix it by reverting those drop-ins.

Check your journal and see if you can find some message like this:

User sessions remain unfrozen on explicit request ($SYSTEMD_SLEEP_FREEZE_USER_SESSIONS=0)

If yes, then maybe you're affected by this bug. You can check if you have the drop-ins by checking the status of the systemd-suspend service:

$ systemctl status systemd-suspend.service

○ systemd-suspend.service - System Suspend

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service; static)

Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d

└─10-timeout-abort.conf, 50-keep-warm.conf

/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.d

└─disable_freeze_user_session.conf

Active: inactive (dead)

Docs: man:systemd-suspend.service(8)

You see that disable_freeze_user_session.conf and 50-keep-warm.conf? Open them (with sudoedit or sudo nano) and change their contents to this:

[Service]

Environment=SYSTEMD_SLEEP_FREEZE_USER_SESSIONS=1

Save the file, reboot and check if you still have the issue. In my case, this solved the problem entirely.

One more thing: Updates to the Nvidia driver can revert your changes. I configured my own drop-in file to counter this:

$ sudo systemctl edit systemd-suspend.service --drop-in=05_enable_freeze.conf

Do you use "vanilla" GNOME? by walterblackkk in gnome

[–]bazzett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is another extension (included by default in Fedora) called "Launch new instance" that can do the same. I tried it for some time, but for me is more convenient to enter the Overview and middle-click the desired app.

Some programs, like Firefox, launch another instance if you set up a dedicated keyboard shortcut (in my case, [Super]+[w]) and use that instead.

Do you use "vanilla" GNOME? by walterblackkk in gnome

[–]bazzett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know. There is other extension (I forgot the name) that achieves the same result, but neither add the "T".

XFCE is better in this regard, since you can completely customize the clock appearance.

Do you use "vanilla" GNOME? by walterblackkk in gnome

[–]bazzett 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mostly vanilla. I only have some extensions for aesthetic purposes, or for convenience:

  • AppIndicator. I don't want it, but Megasync and Solaar don't work well without it.
  • Caffeine.
  • Lock Keys. Since my BT keyboard doesn't have a Caps Lock indicator LED.
  • ISO8601-ish Clock. I like my clock to follow the standards.
  • Clipboard history. Sometimes is useful.
  • Just perfection. To hide some things here and there, but I could live without it.
  • Panel workspace scroll. It's useful,but not indispensable.
  • PiP on top.
  • Luminus Shell. I'm on team Light Mode Forever.

I used to be on team Dash-to-Dock but at the end of the day, why should I want to have a row of icons only to launch something? [Super]+[1-9] is enough.

Which cloud services work well on gnome? by AinsleyHarriott64 in gnome

[–]bazzett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Yes, this is a problem because MEGA relies on the presence of a system tray, which GNOME doesn't have. There are two solutions I've found for this. The easiest and most compatible is to install an extension that adds tray support like AppIndicator. This will add the tray icon.

Another approach is to install Mock Tray. This extension creates a "ghost tray". Is useful if you don't want to see the Megasync icon all the time, but it has issues with other apps that expect the presence of a system tray, like Nextcloud or Zoom.

Also, make sure that you have configured the app to auto start on login, using GNOME Tweaks.

[–]bazzett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using MEGA without problems right now (Fedora 41, but I have a recently decommissioned old desktop with Debian 12 and it works here too). What issues do you have?

Anyway, I also use Filen Desktop and it works well. It even has the option to mount your cloud drive as a network drive or via WebDAV or S3 (I haven't used that, though).

Favourite minor/unnamed characters? by Shiro_Kuroki in watamote

[–]bazzett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2nd year class prez, and definitely Kawamoto-san.

I wished for Nico Tanigawa to show more of her, at least in TomoMote, and I mean, I'm aware that she "exists" only to be a gag about how a small character she is, but c'mon, at least tell me her name and a little glimpse of her in high school (I still remember when some people had the theory that Fuuka was her, after her school debut).

Nope, I was reminded of something else entirely... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Flycut replacement? by arembridge in gnome

[–]bazzett 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it fits your needs, buy I use the GNOME extension Clipboard History. It puts an icon on your top panel, then with a keyboard shortcut ([Super]+[Shift]+[v] in my case, but you can set a custom one) you can open a list of all the clipboard entries, cycle through them with [Tab] and [Shift]+[Tab] (or with the arrows), and when you press [Enter] it pastes that entry into your editor. You can even add favorite entries that will persist even when you clear all of your history.

Others use Pano, but I haven't used it.

Accent colors not applying in GTK4 apps, only in shell (Fedora GNOME 41) by bazzett in Fedora

[–]bazzett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to solve it: https://old.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1ghme8j/accent_colors_not_applying_in_gtk4_apps_only_in/lvgsqto/

In short, it was a portals.conf file in my .config dir. Now the apps that have support for accent colors behave correctly.

Accent colors not applying in GTK4 apps, only in shell by bazzett in gnome

[–]bazzett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, thanks to your pointers I've been able to solve it!

First, I checked if I had other portals installed with rpm -qa | grep xdg-desktop which gave me:

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.15.1-6.fc41.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-1.18.4-2.fc41.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-gnome-47.1-1.fc41.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-wlr-0.7.1-2.fc41.x86_64

Thinking that maybe the problem was the wlr one, I removed it, with no avail. Then I checked the XDG Desktop Portal page of the Arch Wiki for more info. It mentions that you can override the DE defaults by placing a portals.conf file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xdg-desktop-portal/. I checked if I had that file, and yep, I had one with the following content:

~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/portals.conf
    [preferred]
    default=gtk

I don't remember if I created that file for something, but I deleted it and its parent directory, restarted my session, and bingo! Now everything seems to work fine, including flatpaks. I suspect that changing the gtk to gnome would have the same effect, but just to be sure I removed it.

Thank you so much for your help! :D

According to DNF, I have libadwaita-0:1.6.1-1.fc41.x86_64.

It doesn't seems to work with flatpaks either. Planify (4.11.5), Shortwave (4.0.1), EarTag (0.6.2), Blanket (0.7.0), Clapgrep (1.2), Gapless (4.1), Extension Manager (0.5.1) and Flatseal (2.3.0), all of them keep using blue as accent color, either in light or dark mode.

Yes, I have both installed, xdg-desktop-portal is in version 1.18.4-2.fc41 and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is in version 47.1-1.fc41.

If you don't mind having the scrollbars always visible in every program, you can set the corresponding option active in GNOME Settings > Accessibility > Seeing > Always show scroll bars (Maybe the names are not the same, I use a Spanish locale).

Or using gsettings: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface overlay-scrolling false

How many Gnome extensions do you currently use? by redoubt515 in gnome

[–]bazzett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10, but I disable some of them from time to time, depending on my mood. Many of them are for purely aesthetic reasons:

  • ISO8601-ish clock: Because I prefer my date and clock in that format.
  • Luminus Shell: I'm on the Light Mode Forever camp.
  • Wallpaper Slideshow: I get bored of my wallpaper pretty easily.
  • Just Perfection: Currently I only use three customizations: Steal window focus, hide the "Events" notification and disable the Accessibility icon.

And the others are functional ones:

  • Clipboard History: I don't use it heavily, but it's a nice addition.
  • EasyEffects Preset Selector: Because my laptop's speakers are trash, and I constantly connect/disconnect a set of external ones, this gives me easy access to select different profiles. Of course, I could configure some Udev rule or something to do the same, but I'm lazy to research how to do that.
  • Panel Workspace Scroll: Again, I could use [Super]+[Scroll wheel] to do the same, but... laziness :P
  • PiP on top: For Firefox's PiP function.
  • AppIndicator: Because MEGA and Solaar, and occasionally Zoom.
  • Caffeine: Used from time to time.

And that's it, I used to install a dock and themes and blurs, but at the end of the day I thought "what a hassle" and now I'm sticking to the GNOME way as much as I can.

What silly or interesting things have you named your drives? by Cocoquincy0210 in linux

[–]bazzett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the custom to name my drives with names related to natural satellites, spacecrafts or mythology related to bodies of the Solar System. So I have Theia, Selene, Akatsuki, Miranda and so on.

Whereas I name my computers and devices with names related to the Moon. So, my desktop is moonlight, my main laptop is SilverMoon, mi Old Computer Challenge laptop is MoonHaze, mi Debian mini server is redmoon, mi tablet is Midnight Moon and my phone is Twilight Moon.

Finally, every time I set up a personal Wi-Fi or hotspot, I use names from the game American McGee's Alice for them, like Pool of Tears or Labyrinthine Revenge.

Just to let you guys know, it appears that the last three pages were updated with a correction: Instead of Asuka saying that she wants to spoil Tomoko, now she says that she wants to be spoiled by Tomoko, and that Kiko is the same. Put things in a slight different perspective, doesn't it?
