Goodbye from a Linux community volunteer in c/linux

That's not what happened. There are still Russian contributors. Just the onces that have in some way (maybe indirectly) ties with the Russian government have been removed.

Chrome OS switching to the Android Linux kernel and related Android subsystems – OSnews in c/linux

[–] mellejwz 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why not use Android in the first place then? I mean, it works fine on pretty much any device.

Fucked up my system pretty bad whilst trying to install drivers in c/[email protected]

This has nothing to do with secureboot, as the system boots fine according to the explanation.

If you use swap (excluding hibernation) it means you need more ram.

Are we (linux) ready for Arm devices? in c/linux

[–] mellejwz 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The kernel used by Android is Linux, just like the kernel used by PiOS.

Anyone tried blendOS with microsoft surface? in c/linux

[–] mellejwz 1 points 7 months ago

Great! Used Arch for a while, with KDE. I'm now using Debian with Gnome permanently.

I'm not familiar with Blend OS, but if your goal is being able to run Android apps you can also install Waydroid yourself in multiple distro's. I'm running Debian with Gnome on my Surface Go 2 using the Surface kernel and Waydroid with Gapps. It runs really well.

Gnome multitouch gestures on touchscreen also trigger a left click in c/[email protected]

[–] mellejwz 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks but that doesn't really help. The gestures do work fine, it's just that they also cause random things to be clicked when using gestures on a touchscreen.

Gnome multitouch gestures on touchscreen also trigger a left click (self.gnome)

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 part of the screen to prevent clicking anything.

Is there any setting I can change to prevent left clicks when using 3 finger gestures?

So what's the known issue?

AUR with Ansible in c/[email protected]

[–] mellejwz 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Can't you change to a normal user with become? We do lots of stuff with Ansible as normal user. You should be able to create tasks that get executed as normal user and install yay and run makepkg, and then run yay to install packages.

Canonical starts charging for Ubuntu LTS security updates in c/linux

[–] mellejwz 2 points 10 months ago

That's bullshit, it's still free for the normal lts support. Only if you want support after that you'll have to pay, or upgrade to the next version for free.

GrapheneOS version 2023123000 released, adds Android Auto support in c/googlepixel

[–] mellejwz 2 points 10 months ago

It's because most banks support Google Pay instead of using their own app. It's perfectly possible for banks to not use Google Pay. A few banks here don't support Google Pay, instead you have to download their app to use nfc payments.

Dolphin freezes with QDBusError when copying a file (self.archlinux)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by mellejwz to c/[email protected]

So I can copy folders just fine, but when I copy a file, Dolphin freezes. When launched from a terminal I get the following error:


kf.coreaddons: Some files could not be exported.
QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply", "Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.")

I have been searching around for any solution, but haven´t found any yet. Does anyone know what I should look for?

I'm running Arch Linux on my Surface Go 2 with the linux-surface kernel.
