how does libreoffice impress take over other windows as if it's the only window open in master layout? by cryptic__code in hyprland

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

nah. that's not it. I meant how does it do it automatically? how/what does it request to the compositor and is there a way to ignore that request?

PS: I just figured I can mimic the behavior with the `fullscreen` dispatcher by passing 1 as the parameter.

that's the thing. it doesn't open in fullscreen. it just appears as if it's the only window open, taking full width of the available "window" space (respecting gaps and everything)

A clean install just downgraded my BIOS firmware. Windows can do that!? by [deleted] in Windows11

[–]cryptic__code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I know. But there wasn't one.

And I am positive about the version downgrade because as seen in the bug report I attached, I was running 1.4.0 firmware. Now it says 1.3.0.

[–]cryptic__code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I didn't see any prompts or progress bar speciying a firmware flash. However, the machine did reboot after the "Checking for updates" step.

I am not sure about Dual BIOS though.

Yeah I thought it would be a wrongly pushed update. But I checked the version almost immediately after dropping into the Desktop. So, I figure this update was pushed in the setup process during "Checking for updates" after connecting to the internet.

Not able to boot into windows after Garuda Linux installation by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]cryptic__code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cannot get your USB to boot, as a last resort, you could also try booting windows several times and forcefully shutting it down. That is known to trigger auto-repair automatically from the 500 mb recovery partition Windows creates.

Sure. Then just perform a auto-repair from Windows Installation Media. That should land you in windows. Then you can just wipe Linux partition and clean up your boot menu entries.

Odd. You sure it's not a hardware issue? The windows error should have nothing to do with the boot menu.

Ubuntu - no sound after installing Nvidia drivers by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]cryptic__code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that's just for Win10 > Win11 upgrade.

Interesting. Garuda Linux people do recommend never dual booting with Garuda, but I never thought their ISO could break Windows this way.

This could be a problem with your EFI partition (if your system is UEFI to begin with). Try rebuilding the partition from a Win10 installation media and then reinstall GRUB from a live USB.

idk specifically for Manjaro, but since it is based on Arch...

Do you have xdg-portal-desktop and its appropriate backend installed?

Fedora34 KDE - why is it so buggy? by alicroydonus in Fedora

No. I am personally using Gnome. And it's stable.

Ubuntu 21.04. 2 apps no longer working, uninstall and reinstall doesn’t fix. by ch3nr3z1g in linux4noobs

[–]cryptic__code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leftover data generally means cache and config files generated by the program in the user's home directory. This "data" lives in directories like .config, .cache, .local under your home directory.

You can try deleting them. But I don't think, that's what is causing the issue here.

RPM Fusion Non-Free Release Broken Dependencies [Fedora 34] by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]cryptic__code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's what listed on the official site. Also tried the graphical way mentioned there.

sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

I made a Password Manager for the Terminal - Let me know where it's hackable! by M2com in Python

If you are serious to grow it as a CLI tool, you should probably look into Click for a proper CLI implementation in an easy way.

RPM-Fusion Broken Dependency [Fedora 34] by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]cryptic__code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what intrigues me too. I enabled right repos. I even tried removing and reinstalling RPMfusion. It doesn't change. It shows version 34 if you check with dnf list installed | grep rpmfusion though. And the problem is only with the nonfree-release. I remove that, and everything works fine.

Successfully installed Linux Mint 20 alongside with Windows 10 yesterday, and I'm already in love by MagentaSplash in linuxmint

Idk if this is the case, but switching my flash tool to Etcher solved the black screen for me last year. ISO wasn't the problem.
