ogeist, in Display blacks out while opening and closing applications on Wayland KDE.

Are you on the open source drivers or in the official ones? You should be using the open source as they are better in this case.

I have the impression it has to do with your monitor as well, could it be some HDR functionality? Try opening the OSD of your monitor and check if something changes when on the application

ogeist,

Also check the AMDGPU archwiki, there are some troubleshooting suggestions you might want to look at.

If you said it also happened with XFCE then it’s definitely not because of Wayland

pineapplelover, in Yubikey on Linux?

It works fine straight out of the box. If you need the totp codes, personalization, setting it up download the yubikey apps (probably in your apt repo or check documentation)

8osm3rka, (edited ) in Yubikey on Linux?

Are you talking about 2FA login for your own user account or U2F/PIV/WebAuthn in your browser? The latter seems to work out of the box on any non-snap or flatpak browser, but the former needs a bit more setup as that is not a standard feature in Ubuntu yet. I recommend using ykman and yubico-piv-tool for configuring yubikeys in linux, but Yubico also provides a GUI application on their website

Definitely the latter. I have only tried using the Flatpak version of Firefox, but the system won’t even detect the key so it’s no shock Firefox can’t either…

kanzalibrary, in X11 tiling WMs

Upopular opinion: Herbstluftwm.

flashgnash,

I am curious about this as I’ve never heard of it however for this use case I’m looking for as mainstream as possible so it’s least likely to break in a way nobody’s seen before

berg, in Yubikey on Linux?

I used to use one without any issues, it wasn’t the 5 series but it had NFC. The worst part was setting up to use it as an ssh key. Just normal 2FA with it worked straight out of the box (firefox/arch). Is that what you’re trying to do?

mortrek, (edited ) in linux mint became super slow

Random shot, because it’s probably not an issue on Mint like it was on Arch a few months ago, but xdg-desktop-portal problems can cause apps to take forever to load, but run fine once loaded.

edit: Try removing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and/or xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

is that the syncthing thing i have cause that boots on startup

mortrek, (edited )

Portal basically is an interface/backend for flatpaks to interface with toolkits & DEs. If you don’t use flatpak, xdg-desktop-portal and associated backends should be removable. Even if you do, try removing the gtk and gnome backends w/apt. Hopefully it won’t try to remove a ton of stuff due to dependencies. Then, reboot and see if the slow loading problem goes away. If it does, you can try re-adding one or the other and see if it comes back.

Does logging in take forever as well?

Also after some cursory research, some people have had problems with portal on Mint after updates as well, just like on Arch. So… definitely try it.

ngl youre my only hope or i have to re-install linux lol talk soon lmfao!!

wait hold on this is very likely holy shit, check my most recent post. the issue i have only impacts flatpaks. hold on what command do i run exactly and how dangerous is this. also tysm

this is a comment on my new post: it took 30 seconds but this got outputted and then the file ran: dave@dog: ~$ flatpak run org.x.Warpinator Gtx-Message: 14:29:03.389: Failed to load module “xapp-gtk3-module” Using landlock for incoming file isolation

floofloof, (edited ) in Yubikey on Linux?

I use my Yubikeys all the time in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Linux Mint - a Yubikey 5 NFC and a Yubikey 5C NFC (mostly with Firefox). I have never had any problems with them. Mint is Ubuntu-based so they ought to work in Ubuntu. Sorry I can’t advise you on why yours isn’t working, but it should definitely be possible to get it working.

WeAreAllOne,

Tumbleweed user here. Thinking of buying a yubikey; is it easy to setup for logins etc or does it involve terminal commands etc. I mean is there a repository app?

floofloof,

I’m afraid I can’t remember how I did it, it was some time ago on a machine I no longer have. There is some advice here:

…yubico.com/…/360016649039-Installing-Yubico-Soft…

There’s an appimage for their manager app there. You might also try using Distrobox to give yourself access to a distro that uses apt, and then add Yubico’s PPA and install the software from there. I don’t know whether it would work but in principle it should.

avidamoeba, (edited ) in I'm an idiot (arm)
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

As a last resort you could install docker from apt, build an image from a distro has rar in its arm repos, then run containers ephemerallly, mounting your work dir into the container where rar runs. Try the suggested methods of getting a binary first. 😅


<span style="color:#323232;">docker run --rm -v /your/work/dir:/destination/in/container your_image rar ...
</span>
harsh3466,

Haha. Definitely last resort. Having learned what a pain rar is due to its propriety nature, I’m going to see if they care if I convert them to tar or zip first.

avidamoeba,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Yup, moving away from rar would probably be best.

I’m on Debian, but I think I’ve only ever used mine in Librewolf. But I can verify it works fine for me in the browser.

dotslashme, in Yubikey on Linux?

Did you check their support guides …yubico.com/…/360016649099-Ubuntu-Linux-Login-Gui…! ?

ikidd, in Upgrade vs Reinstall
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Dockerfile, especially for something like a CLI app like that. Change your dockerfile and rebuild when you need to upgrade.

atzanteol,

Yeah, my first thought was “this is doing containers the hard way”.

lxc and docker are your friends.

Yah, and we aren’t the first, of course: github.com/mraming/docker-nginx-acme

flathead, in Remmina not working with Windows 10 RDP anymore

had issues with Remmima and Win 10 last week - worked around it by using xfreerdp directly at the command line. this is what I use from a linux command line to set the resolution and sound (audio-mode:1 is same as Remmima local sound, or supposed to be)

xfreerdp /w:1680 /h:1050 /u:<username> /audio-mode:1 /v:<ip address> /sound /microphone

this keeps all audio local on the system, which is what I need.

Remmima was working fine until I messed with the settings to see if I could have both local and remote audio with RDP (you can’t) and then I could not get the local audio back no matter what I did - tried deleting profile, reinstalling, etc. Nothing worked until invoking xfreerdp directly. Been flawless since then.

I'll try that later today

flathead,

great - I’d be interested to hear if this works for you.

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

using xfreerdp directly did work. Now I just have to find out how to get this working with remmina again, so the UX is not that bad...

db2, in Trouble with Handbrake, PopOS and Accelerated AV1

Check which version of ffmpeg it’s using and whether it has hardware acceleration for that codec.

Also bear in mind that you can’t hardware decode and hardware encode at the same time on the same device. If that’s what you’re trying to do it’s probably falling back on software silently in Windows instead of telling you.

ryannathans,

Why can’t you decode and encode on the same device at the same time? I thought you could do a couple in parallel (but haven’t done so in a while)

db2,

Because one process will be running on the hardware, because of the way it works it can’t really share that hardware between processes. I’m not sure if that’s entirely a hardware limitation, but it seems to be enough of one that software hasn’t overcome it.

ryannathans,

What if that process had multiple streams to decode/encode?

xyguy,

I saw that in the docs. I am only interested in encoding in AV1. My CPU is a 5900x so it’s decent enough at decoding. I’ll check ffmpeg settings.
