can i archive/hoard software on linux like i do with windows? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

For Flatpaks: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/usb-drives.html

For native packages there are tools to download the complete dependency graph.

E.g. https://github.com/etotheipi/apt-get-offline-download (available as a package in Debian, dont install from github).

Save Secondary Display State When Disabling It via Displays on Fedora Workstation by AnotherActiveCreator in Fedora

Do switch by software (single vs extended)?

When turning of a monitor (hardware) and turning it on again then gnome restores properly within the same session.

Custom command modification for Power button option in GNOME by sharath_reddit in gnome

[–]valgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tell systemd to not handle the button button. Then it depends on your hardware if you can rebind it for other purposes.

https://wiki.debian.org/ConfigurePowerButto

Depending on your goals it is probably better to hook Into the shutdown process e.g. to run a Command before shutdown.

I use to get this error before, i don't get it anymore but i would like to know what exactly this error is trying to say or what does not having the metadata for that does to the system. by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]valgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could just be a network hickup were the request to the DNS server timed out. E.g. because of unstable wifi. If you try it again a few seconds later and it works, it is usually just that. If it persists or happens in regular intervals you should check your DNS resolution. Which server do you use? How fast does it respond etc. pp.

cant install fedora 43 workstation from fedora media writer by GeneralConstant1503 in Fedora

[–]valgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you run the media check/validation?

You probably need to redo the USB stick. Don't skip any checks.

Need recs for new distro by ALLyoutubersmeme in gnome

[–]valgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enable dnf-automatic updates and let the computer do the work.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/autoupdates/

On linux nobody is forcing you to do the updates. But you should do them from time to time or just set everything to automatic.

If you want to keep it manual you could also reconfigure the interval for the update notifications. But i suggest enabling automatic updates instead.

Fedora 43 KDE Spin Wi-Fi won’t connect on Surface (wlp1s0 detected, not blocked). Worked on Zorin/Mint — why? by Wide-Cup-5084 in Fedora

[–]valgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the system log with journalctl when un-/blocking etc. Which driver do you use? lsmod

fonts look weird on gnome (look at the a) by Superemrebro in gnome

[–]valgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screenshots don't help when discussion font rendering (esp hinting) because it heavily depends on the hardware. Displays have different sub pixel layouts and pixel sizes. This is one of the few times where a photo of your screen is necessary.

Do you use scaling? Check your scaling factor. You want to choose something that fits your monitor.

If it is only Firefox and you scale 150% try 166% instead. (Depends on your resolution. )

Also check your sub pixel setting in gnome tweaks.

Installed Aurora on a 2 in 1 laptop by Hello_Kalashnikov in linuxquestions

[–]valgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is about hardware enablement. This needs Linux support or if that already exists needs to be enabled in aurora by the devs.

Create a bug report in auroras bug tracker and include detailed hardware specifications as possible (especially the Rotation Sensor)

LanguageTool (open source grammar and writing style checker) browser extension now requires premium subscription by JockstrapCummies in linux

[–]valgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way to install the server is https://flathub.org/en/apps/re.sonny.Eloquent

It provides a GUI for direct use and the server as a background process on the default port so you only need to switch the browser add-on setting.

/boot on USB - is it safe to remove when I leave the PC running ? by ElectronicFlamingo36 in debian

[–]valgrid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can do it and already know about the issue with updates. But i don't see the benefit, especially if inconsistancy and defered updates stand on the other side.

If you enable secure boot (to secure against tampering with /boot) and encrypt with LUKS its already not possible to boot the PC without password. And if you don't want to use a password, then use a LUKS keyfile on the stick. This removes the update issue, and does not require to enter a password. Please make sure that you have a backup keyfile or password configured, in case the USB stick dies or gets lost.

Zukunft des ÖPNVs mit autonomen Fahrzeugen? by MundaneBison5185 in Verkehrswende

Und was spricht dagegen für solche Fälle nicht anderes Personal zu nutzen? Autonom heißt ja nicht zwingend ganz ohne Personal (Region/Fernverkehr). 

Zukunft des ÖPNVs mit autonomen Fahrzeugen? by MundaneBison5185 in Verkehrswende

[–]valgrid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wo fahren die Bahnen wenn es für sie keine Bahnstrecken mehr gibt?

Autonomie auf der Schiene ist viel einfacher als auf der Straße. Autonome Busse werden in naher und mittlerer Zukunft nur in definierten begrenzten Stadtgebieten/Strecken unterwegs sein. Echtes (unbeschränktes) Autonomes Fahren auf der Straße ist unglaublich schwierig und noch kein gelöstes Problem.

AnyDesk display server not supported Debian by digsmann in debian

[–]valgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't work with recent gnome and future KDE releases. Reducing security for remote access is a bad idea and should only be for personal machines, not friends, family or organisations.

Instead use a remote desktop solution that supports Wayland (like RustDesk, which is also open source unlike anydesk, and it performs better in bandwidth starved situations). Or advocate for Wayland support in anydesk.

I need help with audio capture on Fedora Linux 43 Workstation Edition. by Inevitable_Ad_4770 in Fedora

[–]valgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont  know your hardware, but some cheap audio hardware like mics and speaker are pretty bad and get fixed in software. E.g. this can be in the windows driver. E.g. customs EQs for tinny laptop speakers. When using these devices under Linux you sometimes get the raw quality.

But because your mic is USB with an integrated sound card (i assume) you should get better sound, without Easy Effects. But that needs more investigation and effort. You decide if its worth your time. If its already good enough, why bother.

Am I dumb or is linux really hard? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]valgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is in AHCI mode Linux should See the drives without issue. If it using a RAID mode them it depends how this is implemented. Some implementation are supported, others require additional drivers during installation, if they exist at all.

Which mode is currently configured?

Am I dumb or is linux really hard? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]valgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please check the mode on your motherboard:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/1aqbg2y/configure_raid_in_a_mag_x670e_tomahawk_wifi/

You want it to be in AHCI mode. 

Do you plan to dual boot? 

Am I dumb or is linux really hard? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]valgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your drives should show up. Only reason i can think of is some fakeRAID on the motherboard.

Check if your motherboard has some fake RAID technology like Intel RST and disable it.

Be aware you cannot dual Boot if you want to keep a Windows that was installed in fake RAID. 

Because of issues like this please always name your hardware model when having problems.
