LinuxDistros Hot

Hi,...

One would expect ubuntuforums.org but that forum is so ancient, it’s still asking for ICQ IDs in your profile. Not sure how many are using it. I still asked there but I’m not sure if it’s the best location.

I was creating a new key for pass when I noticed a random expired GPG key assigned to a certain “Roderick van Domburg” in my list of keys. I don’t know any Rodericks, and this laptop has been whipped clean....

I’ve been trying to install Arch on an old laptop for the past few days but for some reason it will not shut down if I’m using any kernel above version 6.7. It goes all the way through and gets to Reached target: System Power Off but then just sits there and never actually powers down. I waited 30 minutes in case it did...

I am going to request arch and the greater linux community replace xz with winrar.exe...

I’m trying to install Arch on Btrfs but every time mkinitcpio runs it fails as shown in the attached screenshot. I’ve tried on the actual laptop which I’m trying to set up, and also on a couple of Hyper-V VMs set up as I usually do and I’ve never had this issue before. This happens when its run automatically after...

I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I’m curious what other people do.

openSUSE maintainers received notification of a supply chain attack against the “xz” compression tool and “liblzma5” library. Background Security Researcher ...

The past few times I’ve run yay I’ve got these warnings about packages that are orphaned/not in the AUR. Based on the names I’m assuming these are leftover from the upgrade from kde plasma 5 to 6, are these safe to remove now? And secondly how would I find orphaned packages like that if I wasn’t using yay since I never...

I’m using Debian 12 with Gnome on my Surface Go 2, and while the multitouch gestures are great, when I use them I also click on anything where I start a 3 finger gesture. I like my panel hidden except in the Dash overview, but I disabled this so I don’t have to use gestures. When I do use them I have to use them on an empty...

So I was wondering, is there a place you can make the –debug flag output to or if there was a default location besides the terminal itself?...

March has been an exciting month for openSUSE Tumbleweed users as GNOME 46 made its way into the rolling release like KDE’s Plasma 6 did a few weeks ago....

I’m running Garuda. My laptop screen is on its very last legs. I have an external monitor that connects via USB-C. It has a Display Port connection, but the laptop itself does not. I’m using HDMI to connect to a larger display, but not having two monitors available is driving me insane. I know that the firmware supports...

Plasma Arrives in openSUSE’s Releases...

while true; do; sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm; done

in last week’s email to the reproducible-builds email list1 about reproducible Arch Linux I mentioned there’s only one unreproducible package left in docker.io/library/archlinux....

Hi everyone,...

Hello ! I recently switched to linux on my laptop and I’m currently on testing (trixie) and since I changed my audio set-up to have a headset for a call and a Bluetooth speaker for media etc my laptop’s speakers aren’t appearing anymore in pulse audio....

Well I did, wanted the git version so uninstalled ncurses to then blissfully install ncurses-git and low and behold my system shat....
