I finally learned how to write a non-trivial .asoundrc and now, after decades of restarting programs to switch speakers, I have gained the ability to switch from headphones to speaker on the fly in plain alsa.

Maybe in another 20 years you'll figure out libalsa mixing sucks and install something that works.

So does KDE/Arch allow native OneDrive integration or not? I recently noticed that Breeze includes folder icons for OneDrive/cloud, but are they, like, actually used anywhere?

On that note, why doesn't Breeze have a folder icon for Projects yet?

>>109097613
There's a KIO plugin you can install which gives OneDrive support.

>>109097613
What should the icon for the Projects folder even look like? Sounds open to interpretation depending on what your projects actually are. If you were an artist then maybe two paint brushes, a coder then maybe a terminal icon, or maybe go boring office style with a whiteboard or binder, etc.

>>109097864
A lot businesses do everything through VDI or roaming desktop. Sometimes things need to play sounds more complex tha the terminal bell for one reason or another.

>>109097917
It's not the same stack as your normal speakers.

>A lot businesses do everything through VDI or roaming desktop. Sometimes things need to play sounds more complex tha the terminal bell for one reason or another.
i mean more system-wide/sound-server networked audio, like what pulse/pipewire supports. other kinds like remote desktop or streaming music use other methods that don't require pulse/pw

>>109097987
The only difference between your post and the other guy's was that single incorrect assumption. The full answer is VDI + roaming desktop + you don't know wtf you're talking about.

>>109097993

i don't doubt that, but the conversation is reasons to use pulse/pw over alsa. i'm not even the guy using alsa, i actually like some of the features of pipewire. i don't care how other os's do this

>>109098073
I don't disagree but unfortunately speakers and headphones still use the crap instead of some audio protocol over Wifi.

>>109098077
Because the mixing facilities provided by libalsa are shit and they never bothered to fix it or give it a decent config interface because any of the 3 well known sound servers are so much better.

You keep asking for the use case for an audio server but haven't presented a use case for forcing devs to use a low level audio API to feed sounds to a high level software mixer or not depending on your whim.

>>109098393
They disabled sign ups on the AUR. You literally can't make an account anymore. So, no, they're not for now but the moment they allow new signups again it'll happen again until they do something about the way the AUR works. It is a user respository that works the way it works by design. Unless they lock that shit down and stop people from adopting or creating packages it'll keep happening. It's amazing this never happened sooner.

>>109098403
I'm marginally surprised they don't just get someone trusted to review the code and verify submissions.
Oh I know, it's because nobody is being paid.

Unfortunately I don't see any other way out of this. Either everyone is okay with randos submitting software that could do literally anything (because lol read the pkg my ass), OR there's some way to vet the content by a 3rd party to ensure it's not just a keylogger.

>>109098403
>It's amazing this never happened sooner.
it isn't. loads of retards and shitters recently picked up arch with no knowledge of how software works.
lots of retards downloading and using code + 1 israeli glownigger = bot networks

>>109098430
You just need a trusted team of community maintainers to oversee it. It works for GURU on Gentoo:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GURU

Now the AUR is significantly larger but still, it really shouldn't take people more than a couple of minutes to look at the PKGBUILD and decide if it's okay or not.

>>109098438
I think you could have npm installing malware even after a review. there just needs to be a hard stop before anything installs npm or pip and asks the user if they trust this. a reviewer isn’t going to know that npm “oneplusone” package is compromised.

>>109097584
Bluetooth should still work fine with alsa i think. At least it did last time i tried.
Dunno how to get networked audio working with alsa though, i did manage to pull it off with pipewire using their rtp backend.

>>109097759
>leaving the house
Wouldn't that give massive latency?

>>109097864
Easiest usecase would be if you had some kind of sound system set up and wanted all of your devices to be able to use it.
Most of the time people just use bluetooth audio for this now.

>>109098453
A network sandbox for makepkg like Gentoo has could help but then people would have to write proper PKGBUILDs. In Gentoo, you literally couldn't have npm installing malware if you wanted to because the network sandbox will block it unless it happens in the src_unpack phase which is the only thing that has access to the network.

At the very least I think AUR helpers should sandbox the users home directory which they don't do right now. That would be a cheap fix to stop malware gaining persistence.

>>109098504
Although, it could still install itself as part of the package that gets installed but still, the users home directory is important to protect. On my Arch installs I actually build my AUR packages in a dedicated aur user since the helpers do fuck all here.

>>109098504
I’ve just chosen to mask npm and pip on gentoo. If I want software packages through them it’s in a container. the entire linux community needs to get on top of these malware distribution platforms.

It's been so long since I've used CDs with my computer that I've completely fucking forgotten how to do any of this shit. So can I play this dvd from my computer or do I need to get a cd/dvd player drive to hook up?

>>109098403
Sleeper accounts are a thing. One of the accounts that converted packages into malware was registered a few years ago. AUR is completely unsafe at this point.

>>109098711
wherever you mount the disk to, you open that directory in mpv, like

mpv /path/to/disc

>>109098729
I tried mpv dvd://, mpv dvd:// inside the dvd writer directory, and what you just suggested and it didn't play and exited every single time.

>>109098749

you could try reading the output of the mpv command to see if it says why it closed immediately, but I can respect the effort of a blind troubleshooter too. you’ll get it just keep trying stuff until it works

-- or even if not, this would imply you haven't used a cd for anything but music (or at all) and not any other kind of optical disc for anything but video, which i find unlikely unless you're literally underage

One of the most annoying things about linux is the fact that when you unplug then replug something back in the os doesn't bother to rescan devices input or maybe the usb drive doesn't flag the OS or it does flag but the OS doesn't do anything with it.

>>109099002
not him but if you want an idea on how he came up with that, if a game doesn't start, one thing i might do is run it with;

WINEDEBUG="loaddll" wine program.exe

this will make wine print out each dll it loads and if they're builtin (part of wine) or external (not part of wine/provided with the software)
though this by itself only really helps if you're familiar with swapping out specific dll's like d3dcompiler_43/47, etc, this can help in searching at least until you become more familiar with them

>>109099039
not trying to make fun of you, just that if a media player doesn't play an unknown disc my first thought would be maybe it's not a movie, regardless of what files are on it (i don't expect people to know what the file structure of a dvd video is)

it does, but this can become complicated if something was using the drive, like if you unplug something while it's mounted it may only go away once nothing is using the mount

Some games are strange, I have an identical prefix but some game fails to run with umu run and ge-proton but it works if I run it wine and same ge-proton.
Or vice versa.
Usually there isn't that many problems for example some games (RE9) from Capcom detect if they are not on native Windows.

An update to MESA/RADV in 2023 saw shader processing speed increase 50,000% (yes that's the actual number).

Since then I haven't pre cached shaders nor have I had shader stutter.

Infact when playing games that precompile shaders in windows for example Abiotic factor I was waiting for my friend on windows to join the game and he said he was almost finished. I had no idea what was finishing until I asked and he said he was compiling shaders. It took him like 3-4 minutes to get done with a screen I didn't even see as the shaders compiled before the loading bar could even load.

I've always felt many music players whether on Linux or Windows have always felt bad to use, Elisa seems to really have the perfect interface but I don't know if there's anything similar. Seems like most in my experience seem to be trying to do too much with a very text and menu oriented setup that doesn't make much sense to me.

What was text editing really like back in the day?

>>109101555
Then why am I having issues with it? What are common reasons for bottlenecking and audio crackling and distortions?

>>109101559
Usually it's because the PW buffer size is too small or your CPU frequency/powersaving governors are too strict.
Try running pw-top and looking at the error column to see if it starts to show data when the crackles happen, if so that usually means your buffer is too small and you need to enlarge it.

check if the mode has changed to see if the tool you're using will work at all. i'm not familiar with the tool you're using.
example;

$ ls -l --dereference /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw
crw------- 1 root root 241, 3 May 14 18:19 /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw

here you can see the mode is "crw------" which means it's a character device file, with read/write permissions for root, and no permissions for any other user. the "root root" after it means it's owned by the root user and the root group

you can change the mode (permissions) using;

# chmod --dereference 0660 /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw
$ ls -l --dereference /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw
crw-rw---- 1 root root 241, 3 May 14 18:19 /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw

this effectively add read/write permission to the group that owns the file. the group is still root however, so...

# chown --dereference :$USER /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw
$ ls -l --dereference /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw
crw-rw---- 1 root username 241, 3 May 14 18:19 /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-hidraw

this changes the group that owns the file to your user's group, so now any user in your group can read/write the file

this is what the udev rule does, just manually.
note: "--dereference" in these is important as the files in /dev/input/by-id/ are symlinks, and we don't care to change the symlink itself, rather what it points to, that's what --dereference does

How to cleanly remove a DE on Debian? As if that tasksel task was never selected at install time.

What's the best LLM for troubleshooting linux problems?

>>109103897
Claude or Gemini

>>109103897
Any of them can really, just make sure you're using one that can search up shit to make the help more modern, like Google'e AI Mode/Gemini.

>>109103558
>you can't add things to the image before taking the shot in Spectacle like you can in Flameshot
It's been a while since I used Flameshot, but I think Spectacle can do most of the basics now.
Drawing (freehand/lines/arrows/squares/circles), highlight, pixelate, blur, text, and incremental numbers.

>>109104108
I see, then Spectacle really is the better choice in a Wayland environment then.

Completely lost here, I haven't seriously used Linux in years, I've been thinking about using Debian, I got it burned on my USB stick already but I don't know which DE to pick or WM to pick though I'm more into WMs, back then I would use bspwm but there's probably new and better WMs that are out already, I just want something that looks simple and that uses the least amount of resources.

>>109104223
If you want to use a WM again then you should use something like Hyprland or Sway, maybe Wayfire. Though I dunno what the latest Debian ISOs come with DE-wise to pick from.

>>109104251
I just want something in the stable side of things but I've never heard such names before, is dwm from suckless still relevant? If there's better than Debian I am willing to look into it more.

>>109104297
dwm isn't really that relevant anymore, no.

Is is worth putting systemd-journald to only log to memory if using an ssd? I can change the config to use: Storage=volatile

I rarely need to check it and if I do, 99% of the time it's for something that happened during the current boot so those logs will be in memory.

i just got a weird bug on the kde plasma login
when typing the password for some reason the numbers turned into fractions
wtf is this shit?

>>109104522
Sounds like your login system font is fucked.

>>109103764
I can 100% confirm for you that it's a nvidia exclusive problem. It does work in some of the older driver versions, but we are talking quite old here.

Also any Linux distro like Arch that makes you completely set up every single aspect of its installation yourself should be torched immediately.

my dmesg suddenly started showing this message:

[ 4573.582507] pcieport 0000:00:01.3: PME: Spurious native interrupt!
[ 4573.582511] pcieport 0000:00:01.3: PME: Spurious native interrupt!

repeated endlessly and its filling up the drive with the logging, how do i start diagnosing this?

>>109105052
Well for starters it would probably be relevant to figure out what that PCI-E port contains.

>>109105052
dmesg writes to a file?

>>109105089
dmesg reads from file. Filling up drive with logging seems weird tho, since as far as I know the ringbuffer is finite not infinite.

>>109105052
The thing connected to this PCIE port keeps sending wake/interrupt calls. Find out what 0000:00:01.3 actually is with lspci.

>>109105110

No, they just know the programs they need to make things look cool, though I will point out that "cool" looking GUI distros eat a lot more resources than minimalist GUIs like Windows Managers or CLIs if you are unhinged enough to want to run one.

I'm considering running Arch in my main machine. I don't plan on using the AUR and I don't need anything that's not on the repos or as a flatpak.
I want to setup full disk encryption and some way to rollback the system if some update shits everything up.
How much effort will I have to dedicate doing sysAdmin work?
Alternatively, how's fedora these days? Should I go for an immutable flavor?

arch btw

>>109104963
For gaming? Bazzite.
For anything else: vanilla Fedora.

>>109107759
you can spend a little extra effort setting up tpm / systemd-cryptenroll for root encryption, but it’s probably easier to just use systemd-homed on an ext4 partition for home user specific encryption. you don’t really need root encryption but with tpm cryptenroll and secure boot you never have to touch it again. btrfs for snapshots but realistically ext4 and timeshift is probably just as good for snapshots.
no I will not explain further.

What’s the best gpu and cpu temperature monitor for Linux?
I don’t remember mint xfce or fedora kde having those by default so I’m unsure at the moment.

>>109108823
I’d rather use selinux than apparmor so for a “security” first I’d pick a rhel based distro

>>109108824
>don’t remember mint xfce
xfce has one and its called xfce4-sensors-plugin, you'll need to download libsensors for it to work though.

>>109108796
Strawberry is good for large local music collections.
Fooyin is great if you want a foobar2k style player native to Linux.
Deadbeef, Audacious and Tauon are good simple players.
And terminal wise there's cmus and mpd+ncmpcpp, and otherwise there's the ones that comes with DEs like KDE and GNOME like Elisa and Rhythmbox which do the job.

I don't use Blender but if that's the case then maybe because it might have the dependencies you needed already downloaded by default, but you can run blender on any linux os because they are all crazy efficient compared to windows, assuming you have the dependencies.
I have no idea if Blender even runs on Linux natively.

>>109108911
Keylogger was a shitpost, but the maintainer of Kitty is a fucking retard who leaves your wifi ports open so its easy for someone to monitor your inputs without root access across the internet.

Yup
>Why?
We still don't know why but its sus enough to avoid.

>>109108873

>>109108911
Anon's being an idiot. Kitty doesn't have a keylogger in a malicious sense, though it does have an automatic updater which pings a server and a setting to allow for remote usage, which to some can both be abused by bad actors. Though you can easily disable those two features by adding
>allow_remote_control no
>update_check_interval 0
to your kitty.conf file.

>>109108927
>>allow_remote_control no
Wasn't it proven that it can still be switched on at server prompting/request?

>remote control to a terminal
why use this instead of ssh?

opensuse tumbleweed does this out of the box. luks+btrfs+snapper+systemd-boot with a built in script for adding snapshots as boot entries.
this could be set up for arch as well but i couldn't be bothered to and decided to just install opensuse about a week ago.
besides the external codecs repo, and manually looking for oneapi dependencies on the intel repo for opensuse to get blender and quicksync working, everything's been doing just fine. hope this system lasts me like arch did

>>109108854
>Fooyin

Damn that looks pretty good

>>109108942
Usually the exploited ports are unopen public ports to innocous system functions which is then exploited to gain root access or to "bounce around" (aka frag) to access information through that port that you aren't supposed to access through that port.

>>109108947
Kitty Terminal has a lot of vulnerabilities, even to this day, that the creator just kinda brushes off or fixes way later. He is constantly behind the ball when it comes to security and for a terminal that automatically connects to the internet to ping for updates, that isn't a good look.
You could try Ghosty or Alacritty if you really want a GPU accelerated terminal. I think there is a beta terminal that came out recently called Ratty that can display 3d images, and the cursor is a spinning rat.

Does running a pirated game over Steam / Bottles make the performance worse? I'm sure alot of newer games have shitty performance in general because UE5 is hot dogshit.

>>109109097
You do know Canonical isn't responsible for the AMDGPU driver, right?

>>109109164
technically yes compared to original steam game because steam ships the compiled shaders to you, but if the game compile shaders itself there is no difference

>>109109164
If you use pre-installs then it should just feel like you're playing a normal Steam release if you run it through umu-launcher/Faugus Launcher or Bottles.

>>109109168
both were kernel problems, the stuttering is happening with the live kernel, 7.0.0-16 or whatever, 7.0.0-22 fix it

>>109109190
Yeah, that can happen. They don't make the kernel, they just build it. They have their own patches, etc, but they're not AMDGPU developers.

>>109109195
maybe don't select a shitty kernel for you LTS release then, all those problems don't exist on 7.0.1

>>109109204
That's not their problem they froze on a buggy AMDGPU release though. That's what you get with an LTS release.
LTS has never meant free of bugs.

>>109109209
while I do agree with you, it feels bad, I know how to fix and search what is happening, some random noob installing linux for the first time is going to give up after the system runs like shit

>>109109243
It's not hard to install a mainline kernel if you need to:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/daily/current/

But yeah, you do need to know a certain level of knowledge. You need to identify that the kernel is the issue and to search for how to update it and come across the right page.

Unfortunately, kernel bugs happen all the time and only a rolling release will help a noob out here, except then they might be exposed to other bugs and issues so you can't win there either.
At some point you just have to learn a certain level of troubleshooting and problem solving.

Everyone say you should update rolling release every week or so, but if my system is stable as a rock and I don't really need anything new is it really needed to upgrade?

>>109109277
Well if you want to keep a rolling distro not updated for a long enough time, you just need to remember to update your keyring first then do a full update so the update doesn't break, plus using something like rate-mirrors or ghostmirror to refresh your mirrorlist.

is noctalia any good?

>>109109181
>>109109183
I always though the performance gets worse because you run the game through a compatibility layer like proton.

>>109109303
One of the best Wayland WM shells currently IMO.

>>109109338
For a lot of games that actually seems the opposite and it runs better through Proton instead, like the early releases of Elden Ring famously.

Arriving at the wayland debate ten years too late. I'm on wayland now bit thinking of xlibre for the next de. Bit if I don't care about recording my desktop is wayland just better? X having to talk back and forth between everything doesn't seem great, but I won't pretend to understand architecture that much. And if we're not actually seeing any of this stuff, I doubt I would notice a delay, then whatever? It does sound not great though

>>109109204
some distros like ubuntu and red hat don't name their kernels exactly like upstream does. namely the 7.0.0 will stay written as 7.0.0 even while being based on 7.0.X upstream versions

>>109109456
Why would recording your desktop matter if you did care? It just works nowadays. Did you try it?
Most desktops have built-in tools for it and of course OBS works too. That's not to say it can't be improved (it absolutely can, especially window capture) but it hasn't been a major issue for ages now.

I would suggest sticking to Wayland unless you have some very specific problem with it (for example, Xorg can still be better for some NVIDIA users because of the sorry state of their drivers. This is an NVIDIA issue, not a Wayland issue).
The two major desktops are already removing X11 support anyway, so if you use KDE or GNOME you won't exactly have a choice in the matter in the future.

I've run KDE on a Core2Duo with no issues. I'd definitely recommend 8 GB of RAM minimum though. Your web browser alone will end up using gigabytes of RAM. These days even Android smartphones struggle with 4GB of RAM, never mind a desktop.

looks fine to me, but then again i dont really know what im looking at. I doubt its an issue with mpv, because my cursor will desaturate in brave unless i select prefer accuracy

From my understanding deb.debian.org uses fastly cdn that caches packages from mirrors. They have several POPs in Australia. In my experience of using specific mirrors I find some stop updating after a few months so you end up having apt telling you it's out of date. Obviously if you are in a fixed location with a reliable, longterm mirror I guess a custom mirror would work.

What kernel version are you on? I'm going to do more testing to see if I can find what causes it.

It only does it if the window is snapped and not if it's floating. Seems to affect multiple KDE programs (Dolphin, Settings, Discover). If I open Discover and snap it to the right half of the screen and then press one of the menu options on the left (Installed, Updates, Settings etc) then pic related happens. It's a transparent line that takes on what's behind the window at the time (desktop background picture in this case). If I move the window or re snap it to the other side then it goes away.

So I looked at some stuff and for me it works normally no matter what, even when I do wacky stuff with icc profiles. That is very clearly a HDR monitor, though, and mine is wide gamut not HDR. I know why I'm not affected by whatever this is, I don't know why you are.

Wide-gamut and HDR support is pretty spotty all around even without KDE/AMD driver bugs, I will say that much. For example if I got to https://www.wide-gamut.com/test then I can see the difference in everything with wide gamut (even some HDR stuff) in Vivaldi, but literally no difference in Falkon.

I have a HDR monitor for what it's worth but it was working flawlessly before. Not sure if it's a KWin issue or a kernel regression though. I'm going to try 7.1.1 and see if it's still bad and then I'll try bisecting KWin if it's still fucked. This is a recent issue.

>>109110762
Yeah there has been something changed, but I'm not sure when. MPV for me displays different in shift-i compared to before.

firefox hardware decoding stopped working
tested on mpv and its working fine
im on arch
can anyone else confirm this issue?

>>109110355
I looked into it an apparently there are processes the computer does that disables suspend or shutdown for some reason, I input the command to see what was blocking sleep/suspend but I didn't really understand it and all I know is that it was 3 instances of "Disk Management" blocking it and I didn't know how to kill or remove them since they all had the PID or 0 so I just forced shutdown and it fixed it.

Is there a guide to setting it up with a Windows OS? It looks a tad bit out of my depth.

I actually managed to set it up but wtf does step 4 mean? Do I "log out" as in restart my system or "log out" as in log out of the current user session and log back in?

what line in grub.cfg do i need to edit to mount all drivws on startup?
would have edited fstab directly but it keeps getting overwritten by fstab each boot so i have to go straight for grub.
using antix btw.

>>109111100
Grub doesn't mount drives. Make some systemd mount units and enable them if fstab is getting overriden by something.

>>109111114
how do i do that?

>>109111100
>overwritten by fstab
*overwritten by make-fstab

>log out of the current user session and log back in

It's the lightest of the major distros. It's "bloat" comes more from parts of it being programmed in JavaScript.
