russjr08, in Louvre: C++ library for building Wayland compositors.
@russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net avatar

Wow, that looks stunning! I am no where near skilled enough to be able to even begin wrapping my head around making a compositor, even with a library - but I do know that like the other commenter mentioned we certainly need more libraries aside from the two that we currently have (but I understand why that’s a very tall order) so major props to you!

ehopperdietzel,

Thanks, maybe you could follow the tutorial if you are interested. And I wouldn’t mind answering doubts; that actually would help me improve the docs ;)

iamak, in Help. Various games stopped working and i have no idea how to diagnose the issues

I think mint has timeshift enabled by default. Try going back to when the games worked and figure out what change caused the gamss to break?

dynamo,

didn’t make em often enough, sadly

tubbadu, in Customising keyboard layouts Fedora KDE Wayland

In system settings under 'keyboard" there should be an “advanced” tab or something similar with a lot of these kind of settings, don’t remember if this specifically is present or not. In case yours is not there you can change the mapping of the keys in a root configuration file that I don’t remember, if you need tell me and it I’ll go looking for it

Nawor3565, (edited ) in Linux support for wifi in LiveUSB trials with onboard wifi chip and/or additional USB wifi dongle

I would look for a dongle that specifically markets itself as being Raspberry Pi compatible. Most stuff you find will prioritize Windows, but if it’s marketed to work with the Pi you know it’ll have at least some level of Linux compatibility. Once you find one, try to figure out what chipset it uses, then search if it’s supported by a handful of the distros you wanna try.

This I can do. Thanks!

americanwaste, in How is your experience with Fedora as a server?

We used to run firewalls running Fedora at work, works fine. Issue is you’re only getting 6 months of updates, best to look at Rocky Linux for something that doesn’t change much if you do anything beyond a single program.

timicin,

anedotally: it works fine if it’s from a vendor who provides support for it. eg cumulus switches running fedora 9 but still getting updates from cumulus engineers.

redcalcium, in Help. Various games stopped working and i have no idea how to diagnose the issues

Instead of guessing, looking at the log might help. Launch the game with PROTON_LOG=1 %command% set in “Set Launch Options” setting in the game properties. The log file will appear on your home directory.

dynamo,

Magica is claiming an issue with VCRedist, Orcs Must Die 2 doesn’t close on its own so no log, Serious sams and painkiller don’t show any problems. The rest isn’t using proton.

redcalcium,

It’s a long shot, but sometimes when I have issues with proton which I can’t figure out, switching from Wayland to X11 (or vice versa) magically fixed it.

dynamo,

Nope.

TCB13, in A new pilot will investigate the use of Forgejo (A non profit FOSS alternative to github and gitea) in german schools
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

Well at least they’re going to usei something decent and not the Apache Allura crap.

idiocy, in Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?

Why you don’t use Evolution and/or Geary?

They are basicly made for Gnome.

jetster735180,

Geary has so many bugs and going to Gitlab to report the bug, you’ll find matching issues for the same bug dating back multiple years.

Geary also doesn’t offer a option for user to pull/refresh emails. Getting a 2FA code via email and waiting minutes to get the email to show up on Geary was painful.

The only thing I liked about Geary was it’s notifications integration in Gnome

jcarax,

I honestly don’t understand how anyone uses it, it’s just about the fastest I’ve ever uninstalled an application.

idiocy,

I just dont understand how can someone be a gnome user and don’t use geary.

idiocy,

I’m using it for two years with zero problems.

It has all the necessity for me unless direct PGP support.

shrugal,

It used to be a buggy mess, but it has become pretty stable in recent years. I’m using it daily and can’t remember the last time I encountered a severe bug.

Illecors, in Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?

Evolution work fine with a business google account. I couldn’t use gnome online accounts as that’s blocked by policy, but regular imap worked just fine.

Oh that explains a lot, thank you.

mortalic, (edited ) in AMD+Wayland+dual monitor = Screen flickering

I have this same issue, but not for a TV. Just a normal Asus monitor. If I use my laptop built-in panel and the gaming monitor, it happens less. If I enable a third monitor, it happens nearly every time I try to log back in.

Sleep/standby is disabled on mine cuz no distro I’ve found can work properly with it so it’s just turning the monitors back on really.

It also happens exiting a game sometimes.

I’ve found waiting it out doesn’t work, I have to fight through it to open display settings and disable one of the external monitors, then hit revert. Then it’s back to normal.

Edit adding some info since our hardware is different: Lenovo legion slim Nvidia 4050 ryzen 5 Kubuntu 23.10

state_electrician, in Searching for espeak alternatives

There are alternatives listed here too: discuss.tchncs.de/post/6215470

I find all the ones like espeak, piper, festival to be awful. The voices are OK-ish, but intonation and pronunciation are so very bad. Tortoise is OK, but slow and not for long texts. Paid services like Google, AWS or Elevenlabs are miles ahead. There is a number of CUDA-based engines (provided in the comments of the post I linked) that you supposedly can use if you have a nVidia GPU available. I don’t, so they are not for me.

peterg75, in cheapest new computer running linux <$500
@peterg75@discuss.online avatar

I got an off-lease dell latitude 7400. Tbh, got it for free, but you can snag one on eBay for under $400. i5, 16 Gb ram, got a 1TB drive for $50 on Amazon. Runs Linux very well! I’d go with a light weight is like EndeavourOS or Arch.

waitmarks, in After upgrade to Fedora 39 Silverblue, Docker and VM-Manager have stopped working

i had a similar issue when rebasing to kinoite, the libvirt service wasn’t set to start on boot after, so check to make sure it’s actually running.

thepiguy, in How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I try my best to look for open source alternatives. If a company does not support Linux, they don’t deserve my support as someone who has only used linux for almost 5 years now. Luckily I am not dragged all the way up into many of these ecosystems which don’t work on Linux
