Looking forward to setting up my used #thinkpad with #linuxmint next week. Looking for recos for easy syncing, mainly for my #emacs and #orgmode stuff. What have you used that you could recommend? I do have GDrive working well on my Windows machines, so could go that route,, though not familiar with how to do that on linux. Thanks!
Just opened my ThinkPad and for the second time in three days the act of closing the laptop to sleep it, then opening it again had caused Ubuntu to hardlock. This time I got a very brief small printout about "amd ring 0 error", then it went back to a black screen and I had to hold down the power button again.
I thought getting a ThinkPad, getting AMD cpu/gpu and picking the Linux distro Lenovo lists as supported would mean I got a minimally functioning computer but I guess not.
@mcc I've had a Framework Laptop 12th Gen (Intel) for more than a year now, with Arch Linux and the latest kernel (6.8.7) and the latest Gnome (46) on Wayland. No sleep/wake issues in general. I also set the power button to suspend, and it puts the laptop to sleep consistently as well. I haven't tried hibernate.
In the past I'd seen maybe two instances when closing the lid didn't put the laptop to sleep, but not anytime recently. Maybe the latest kernel and/or drivers have fixed something?
I'd love it if anyone would make one of those cute, little #Gnome apps for making a slide show with full screen images:
Select a folder or specific image files, then drag and drop them to sort the order to show them in.
This is such a basic thing, if you ever hold a presentation showing pics from a trip or something, you need to make slides like this, but it's so time consuming in LibreOffice b/c you need to create a new page for each pic and then drag the pic to place it perfectly
@forteller You can do this with gThumb today (a nice GNOME app): You basically just need to add your images to a catalog, which will let you order, delete and rearrange them
GUI: From gThumb, navigate to your dir, select your images, right-click > Add to Catalog
From the terminal: Go to your dir and run gthumb *
Once you have your files in a catalog, order them or delete some.
Press the "Presentation" button or F5 to start your slideshow. (You can use Space or mouse clicks to navigate)
@kzimmermann I've had great results with using GSConnect (GNOME's version of KDE Connect) along with the KDE Connect app on iOS, and also using Tailscale/Taildrop to transfer files from and to my iPhone and my GNU machines (Arch laptop, Synology NAS).
In the past I've also used Syncthing which works well, but it's not really ad-hoc like rsync, and needs some minor setup.
I should really try out the other options in this thread :) rsync would be awesome.
