>>107565248

GrapheneOS is a version of Android which is described as “open source,” but it seems to include software that isn't free software or even “open source”. For instance, it comes with firmware programs for installation and it appears that at least some of them are binaries without source code. It is said to be “de-Googled,” but includes a way to download and install the nonfree Google Play program.

I didn't fix it. I tried the fix that anon posted, I tried downgrading my mesa version to 25.1.7, I tried fucking with bios settings, nothing. Didn't bother trying to mess with bluetooth.

I'll try some more shit tomorrow, I guess.

>>107566121
Just delete and re-pair them. Bluetooth is indeed awful on Linux.

>>107566060
If you didn't make any local changes yourself (i.e you haven't modified anything) then what happened is somebody force pushed to the upstream repo.

To fix that you do:

git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master

Or something like that.

For some reason I can't blacklist the nouveau driver, despite having tried seemingly everything. Either that, or my nvidia drivers aren't working, so the system keeps using nouveau(?). Can anybody help?

How do I disable the cursor drop shadow on KDE? My custom cursor already had a prebaked drop shadow, so adding another drop shadow on top of that just makes it too dark.

>>107566358
Just add something like:

modprobe.blacklist=nouveau rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

to your grub config and re-generate it.

You need both to blacklist it properly at least this was the case when I used Nvidia years ago.

My only experience with Linux was messing around with Ubuntu over a decade ago on a old laptop before I replaced it with a desktop
Got a Lenovo LOQ as a gift recently and I want to install a Distro on it.
Should I just install Ubuntu again or something else?

>>107568356

>>107568356
Aurora or Bluefin and call it a day

>>107568356
Might as well, or setup a flash drive with ventoy and then add a few different .iso files to it, then try out a few of the live environments. I was using Mint for a few years, then I swapped to Fedora for a month, loved it, but it was incompatible with jellyfin, so I went with Ubuntu LTS, and I've been using that for a few months now without issue. I also have arch on an old laptop, and it gets the job done. Distro-hop around until you find out what is comfortable for you.

>>107568356
Spend the next 2 months trying a new distro every day and call it a day

>>107568356

Newbie here. Used i3 for a bit, can't live without it now. But using no DE requires me to look up wikis for hours just to change some config all the time. Is there a control panel or settings manager with a GUI or TUI? I'm looking for something like nmtui but for all settings like fonts, display, inputs. Or should I just use a DE and change the window manager to i3?

>>107568536
pretty sure that doesn't work either

>>107568571
There's a bunch of shit you can install like lxapperence, arandr, xinput-gui, pavucontrol, blueman.
You can also install Xfce's settings panel and use that.

>>107566060
if you've made local changes (i.e. modified the files in that repo) then you gotta backup those files, then

$ git checkout current-branch && git pull

and apply the difference between your local files and the newly pulled files manually
if you haven't, then the branch probably got restructured, in that case

$ git fetch && git branch -m current-branch old-branch && git branch current-branch origin/master && git checkout current-branch && git branch -d old-branch && git merge FETCH_HEAD && git checkout .

`git pull' is short for

$ git fetch && git merge

Is an outdated Kernel a security concern in embedded IoT devices? I'm very new to Linux and had to learn a lot of things including building an image with the Buildroot SDK for the board I'm using, adding packages, kernel drivers .ko files, etc. and I just had the thought to check what Kernel version the SBC (Luckfox Pico Pro/Max) is running, and it's quite outdated.
Can I leave it as-is and ship it to customers? Can it be upgraded in the Luckfox Buildroot SDK and then I just rebuild the image as normal?
The board will serve as a communication module that reads MODBUS data over UART from an industrial device's MCU's UART, and then sends it to our server over Ethernet. There's more to it, but this is the basic functionality in a nutshell. It does work btw.

TLDR: Old Kernel bad or okay for device meant to be embedded and not touched for years?

>>107569210
If the kernel supports the hardware and you don't need features introduced since, it's fine.

Old kernel is very bad for security but if it's not connected to the Internet then it's probably fine. Since you said iOT I'm going to assume it connects to every cloud imaginable and has terrible security even though it could work on a private LAN with no Internet at all but the manufacturer decided to tie it to some premium subscription you don't want or need so it can make your buttplug randomly tingle via a webhook.

Devices like that are definitely compromised as fuck if they're not getting regular firmware updates. Look at the Android kernel for what everyone should be doing. You don't have to update it every week but it should be getting security patches as and when it's relevant.

>Old kernel is very bad for security
It's not, distros that use old kernels also backport security patches.

>>107569919
Yes, but that implies you're installing them. If the iOT device isn't getting firmware updates then it's not.

If you run

uname -a

it will tell you when the kernel was built.

If my bluetooth radio ever failed on Windows, I could go to Device Manager, right click it, disable, then right click again, and enable, and my bluetooth would work again.

My bluetooth radio has just fucked out on Linux, but the bluetooth toggle in my system settings only enables/disables the bluetooth service, rather than the radio itself. When I

entered sudo usbreset /dev/bus/usb/001/002

, it told me "No such device found" even though lsusb listed my bluetooth radio as Device 002 under Bus 001. As a last resort, I installed hardinfo2, hearing it's the Linux equivalent to Device Manager, only to find out it's a view-only program.

What do I do? Fedora btw.

echo "1" | sudo tee reset

Or:

echo "off" | sudo tee power/control
echo "on" | sudo tee power/control

The radio is presumably btusb, but the numbers I'm seeing here aren't "1-5" or "1-5:1.0"; rather I'm seeing Port 005 and Dev 002. lsusb just by itself is able to read out to me

i never had to install anything and it never gave me trouble. it works wonderfully since i brought it!
but that make me think, is there any noticeable difference between vulkan and opengl for the final user? there it just says it uses a bit less cpu. hypothetically, if i brought a new amd card, would it use vulcan automatically? does that replace opengl completely?

>>107570313
Vulkan is considered the modern successor to OpenGL, yes. There's still quite a lot of applications that use OpenGL (Firefox, for example) though. It's not going anywhere.

The problem with OpenGL was its poor standardisation which led to all sorts of proprietary vendor extensions. Vulkan is a lot more low-level and stricter on things like that.

It's the application that chooses the graphics API to use. Apps like Firefox have to specifically program against the OpenGL or Vulkan API and that will determine what they use.

I have everything on a single btrfs partition with multiple subvolumes, including /home. The default layout in Cachy.
I want to shrink that partition (to something like 150gb for good measure, it's a 2TB drive) and use an ext4 partition for /home.
What's the easiest way to do this that doesn't involve outright formatting and reinstalling the OS?

1. I don't know the process of a @home backup in case I need to remove everything else
2. I recall some software (mostly games) being annoying about being on anything else than ext4. I don't recall if this was an issue with XFS alone or if it was also a problem with btrfs.
I could extend this to use a separate drive. I have a spare 1TB SSD just hanging in there. It has a windows install in it I use sometimes for testing stuff out. But I don't think I should go that far and maybe in the far future, if there's some use for multiGPU (lossless scaling maybe?), I won't be able to use both drives anyways, because they'd take 2 M2 slots and disable one of the PCIe x16 slots.

>>107571506
>I recall some software (mostly games) being annoying about being on anything else than ext4.
The only case of that I know of is Dropbox and it was their issue and they fixed it. They didn't mean to break it but were accidentally depending on some ext4 specific thing.

>1. I don't know the process of a @home backup in case I need to remove everything else
Either rsync the files to your backup drive or if your backup drive is also BTRFS then use btrfs-send.
