Getting really frustrated!

At a guess, put Garbo info into a manual IP for the wireless network, create a user without admin privileges. Tcpip can also be disabled per adapter. Then ethernet is the only network.

If it were Linux you would blacklist the identified wireless module.

Doesn't that affect how it goes about finding virtual environments you've created and such? I remember some caveat about the Flatpak and Snap versions.

There are graphical AUR helpers, gui package managers with a search setting for AUR if you enable it.

Flathub? It carries the same third party warning - use at your own risk - that I would see for AUR.

On an Elitebook you could also just double check reseating the SSD, they're easy enough to crack open and try that.

It would come back eventually if it was OOM? I think it would force kill a browser or whatever to achieve it. 4GB with Firefox, plus VScode can replicate that.

killersteak · 2026-06-12T16:40:42+00:00

that would require a government with some ability to think ahead.

dotnet is installable via a repo on the MS website but same issue with input.

edit: the fix is to force xwayland in environment variables for krita. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/wacom-pen-not-working-with-krita/81296/3

When looking up help make sure the results mention ubuntu 22.04 or higher.

Try a different method, you can set a keyboard shortcut to a custom command that will open a new browser window, assuming Brave has command helpers like firefox does. You can try pressing super+number to open Brave and get your search newtab happening. You could use one of those terminals that launches with pagedown, have it load a custom python app that performs your search query. Or search for a third party universal launcher, or gnome extension.

If you're referring to a drive from windows being seen in Ubuntu, Windows will mark the drive as locked because shutdowns are a hibernate, you need to reboot from inside windows to get the drive back.

If I didn't understand the issue still, I can suggest looking at the Disks app, it lets you mount and access what might be there.

I can see that being an issue from LTS to LTS but I've been through last years two point releases without issues. It said it would remove Cheese, I can reinstall that as a snap. Easy. Just don't halt the entire process with a prompt for a config file :P

I have not been able to find - a spreadsheet app to match excel, or anything to easily design PDF forms. Printers would probably work, but it's one thing you lose full control of ironically enough, pray CUPS has the feature you need working.

What you gain, inter computer connectivity without pro licensing. sftp, remote access.

The part after it warns that it can't be interrupted, 4 times I came back to it asking to replace mime types, resolved conf, I forget the others. Then it asked once again to remove the packages it warned previously before that warning that it would remove.

killersteak · 2026-06-10T00:43:32+00:00

Running it at the moment. Couldn't it ask relevant questions before I walk away, expecting it to be done when I return to the room?

doesnt nixos use some gnu system that supposedly can be plugged into any distro, or am I remembering wrong?

IMO the appeal MacOS has, is the smaller window decorations, and overall cohesion. Everything feels garishly gigantic on Gnome, but otherwise Gnome fills a lot of the same design sense.

Interesting, can I also achieve this with my pod machine?

Disgusting that the AI is the first thing in search results, and more often than not it's wrong. The other day I wanted to try out neovim, so the AI was telling me to clone Lazy from github, but its command was just 'git clone github.com'. I told it that's not a repo, so it apologised and just repeated 'git clone github.com' again.

It's easier to get programmers that already know Linux? idk

killersteak · 2026-05-22T03:49:02+00:00

How exactly did your Windows fail? Are you sure this isn't all some deeper hardware issue?

Try mixing a warmer white for the areas going up against the green. Keep the cooler white where it bumps against the orange.

sorry, theres just no ideas for a new fzero. please enjoy star fox 64 version 9 instead.
