Did another Mac thing! After a false start last night, #OpenSuse#MicroOS is now up and running. And it's blummin' fast for an old girl.
Best part is, it turns out the fastest processor this Mac can take is like £15-20 on eBay. That plus a bit of extra RAM will make this into a tidy little performer. (Not a Performa, sadly.) (Also not that little.)
It's somewhat frustrating that I have 32GB of perfectly usable DDR3 RAM, but the Mac won't boot with it in - either because it's not ECC, or it's slightly too fast. Poopins.
@lunarloony with a 5,1, the only limitation is that you cannot mix ECC and non-ECC, and Registered and non-Registered RAM. It automatically downclocks the memory bus to handle slower RAM. It has no problems with DDR3 that is faster than the CPU is rated for.
As we make our five (now four) year plan more concrete, we want to come back to the high level goal and measures that help us to understand what we are doing, why, and if we are being effective.
TL;DR - We’re going to double the number of contributors who are active every week.
@fedora
This is music to my ears.
I have dabbled in Fedora contribution for a few years and it often feels like once I figure out what the current table stakes are, they turn out to be just out of reach.
Ah oui ça marche bien gnome et ses extensions. J’ai juste pris une extension compatible pour avoir un dock anime, j’ai voulu glisser déplacer des apps pour les réorganiser et paf pastèque.
Et ça plante tout le bureau c’est impressionnant. Tu peux dire adieu à tous les trucs pas sauvegardés dans tes apps même si alt-tab ou la touche super fonctionnent et permettent de changer d’app. Cet écran les recouvre et te force à logout.
@AxelTerizaki Testé à gauche, dans ce cas l'extension ne crashe rien mais ne semble pas trop comprendre comment réordonner parmi une tonne d'îcones, tout ce qu'on drag se retrouve toujours en position no.1 (en haut), y'a probablement un bug à rapporter si ça se produit avec la dernière version (que je ne suis pas en mesure de tester) mais bon…
Heh, I updated to Ubuntu 24.04 and gnome is not pleased about it 😅
i3 looks fine, but Regolith and vanilla GNOME are both borked. That feels like something funky specific to GNOME font handling maybe? But initial troubleshooting steps like tweaking/resetting font choices or refreshing font cache got me nowhere. I'll have to revisit this, but if anybody has ideas I'm all ears.
There are some serious issues with #Debian repos. As well as with everyother Debian based distro repos.
For the last 4 months :
A Mint (Cinnamon) APT upgrade broke my system. Well, sh.... happens. Unsatisfying troubleshooting led me to install Debian 12.
Debian 12 (Cinnamon) works fine. As a complete noob it's a little bit harder to set. But it works. Until it doesn't, when APT depots are someday broken or unsafe. Wtf those were the ones installed by default !
Install Mint (Cinnamon) again. At first use, APT update worked. Could change repos for local ones. It works again ! Yeepeekai ! But for how long ?
It was supposed to be an easy ETC/APT/SOURCES/LIST troubleshoot but that never worked, and the same error happened on various distros. Or my hardware/UEFI root is corrupted, or I'm gonna switch for another OS at next bug.
Aujourd'hui, je fais du rangement chez moi et j'ai retrouvé un livre de @ploum, Benoît Caccinolo et Joyce Markoll.
Ce bouquin m'a énormément aidé pour mes débuts avec #ubuntu
Merci
New at #HaikuOS / #HaikuPorts, #KDE#markdown 23.08.5, a nice plugin that let's you preview your markdown files while editing them in #Kate (and others).
Well #Debian I'm not sure I agree with your decision to automatically set up systemd-boot as my UEFI boot manager just because I'm installing the systemd-boot package.
I literally just wanted to read the manpage and play around with bootctl.
I especially disagree with your decision to first fuck with my existing, working GRUB2 installation and then copy kernel and initrd to /boot/efi, which turns out to be not large enough on my system, leading to a somewhat broken boot setup.
@scy that sucks. Sounds like one of the reasons why I am so happy about hourly btrfs snapshots of everything under the sun including /boot, / or even /etc as a subvolume.. I can roll back with a few commands.
Good luck with the clean up 😬
Markdown is great and is made even greater by a sleek editor like Apostrophe! Take notes and create documents with this distraction-free app. The program's special "Focus Mode" lets you start writing your next masterpiece one line at a time. It also supports all markdown syntax, with options to quickly add a placeholder link or table. Preview your rendered work, then export to a variety of formats!
On top of the great work that @AsahiLinux and the Fedora Asahi SIG do, they've also worked to line up releases with the rest of Fedora, so thank you for that!
This release brings:
OpenGL 4.6
High quality audio out of the box
Plasma, Gnome, Server, and Minimal variants available
@itsoulos@AsahiLinux There are two layers, the differences that Asahi brings with this update and then that new non-DE specific things that are a part of Fedora 40 in general. This article has some of the Fedora Asahi things and the general announcement has the details for what's new in Fedora 40.
Folks are enjoying the Fedora and @centos booth at Red Hat Summit this week. Come check out the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and Slimbook Fedora 1 if you're here!
Thanks to Lenovo and Slimbook for these awesome devices that come with Fedora preinstalled!
Why is it so hard in #Ubuntu and with #Gnome to show thumbnails of the screenshots I made, so I know which image to select without painstakingly opening them one by one from separate file window?
There's many images in my screenshot dir, all having thumbnails, except those created in the last 5 days. Why no thumbnails here? Why?
@darkling@bentsukun Yeah, unfortunately, you're almost certainly right. Generally, this ends up being indicative of a failing disk scenario and not caused by the filesystem itself.
Disappointed to see pages given to in-person events and financial reporting in the latest GNOME Foundation report, but not a single mention of environmental reporting or the work multiple people have done to allow remote participation in GNOME events.
This stuff is important. We cannot keep doing business as usual and ignoring the emissions elephant in the room.
"In a few days, after restarting your system, you will see the announcement of the availability of the upgrade to Plasma 6. If you are not using our Tomte system helper or would like to start the upgrade directly, simply install the corresponding package: sudo apt install tuxedo-plasma-upgrade"
it still says "tuxedo-plasma-upgrade ist schon die neueste Version (1.7.1~tux1)."
Avec mon installation sauvegardée tous les jours avec Déjà-dup, mes données personnelles systématiquement balancées dans Nextcloud et mon compte Firefox, j'ai juste fait une nouvelle installation et attendu quelques heures que tout reviennent à sa place.
#KDE will mentor ten projects in Google Summer of Code (#GSoC) this year, including two projects for #LabPlot, a FREE, open source and cross-platform #DataVisualization and #DataAnalysis software.
@nilesh A few months ago, someone on here already talked about their enshittification by going the MS route with their Ubuntu Store. Had planned to switch from MS to Ubuntu (after this Windows 10) but looks like I'll have to wait a bit for a better (distro) option.
