1984, in Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Fedora has lots of weird bugs in my experience, but some people seem to love it.

TooLazyDidntName, in Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

Ive never used arch for more than a week, I was an ubuntu user for the longest time before switching to fedora a few months ago. Ive never been happier with an OS. I’m using the KDE spin

Backup and do a fresh install

danielfgom, in Gnome completely different and buggy after update (Debian)
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Backup your data. Download the correct Debian and burn to usb. Do a fresh install. Make sure to format the disk first.

Unless you’re dual booting in which case only format the Linux partition

mmababes,

Looks good but I’m using X11

orac, in [SOLVED] How to customize dead keys under Wayland / Electron apps?

Not an answer to you actual question, but: I stopped using dead keys long ago because I found it irritating to have to hit space whenever I needed to break out. Instead I mapped my CapsLock to be a Compose-key which lets me make almost any symbol I ever need in a very intuitive wsy. It works everywhere (incl. Wayland).

@pathief@lemmy.world avatar

I rarely had to hit space, honestly. My keyboard doesn’t have a key specifically for caps lock, a control key is there instead. I quite like it.

I’ve been trying to make a switch for the compose key but it’s hard to kick decades-old muscle memory heh

bazsy, in Edit: Flatpak (possibly regression) issue caused by either xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and/or xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

What filesystem are you using? Is it encrypted?

Could you run a benchmark to verify if reads and writes are both affected? KDiskMark is like crystaldiskmark or Gnome Disks has a built in benchmark.

not encyrpted. i tried running a write test in gnome disks but i get 'error unmounting /dev/nvme0n1p2: target is busy (udisks-error-quark, 14)

I had this problem with flatpaks, I changed the dbus implementation to dbus-broker (in endeavouros) and it fixed the issue. It may be the same problem.

@jackpot@lemmy.ml avatar

how do yoy do that

MRLimcon,
@MRLimcon@lemmy.ml avatar

I installed dbus-broker and the package manager checked the dependencies and removed the unnecessary stuff. After that I applied the dbus-broker services:

systemctl enable dbus-broker.service

sudo systemctl --global enable dbus-broker.service

And then restarted.

Idk if it might break things in mint, so I would be cautious.

@jackpot@lemmy.ml avatar

by any chance does this have to do with gtk3?

MRLimcon, (edited )
@MRLimcon@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, I remember reading about a gtk thing that interacts with flatpak, they said it should not give this error in April, but it seems to still be happening, idk.

Edit: I just saw that you deleted the gtk portal and it worked! So no need to install another dbus daemon.

How long ago did you delete everything?

SSD’s dont work like old HD’s depending on the generation of tech it might be storing multiple values per cell which means when you “filled” the SSD you put a charge into every single storage cell on the drive.

Garbage collection and TRIM will slowly over time clear out all the cells flagged as deleted but if one bit is still valid in a cell that was holding 3-4 other bits it cant overwrite that, or relocate it.

That means that your files/videos and such stay fragmented and may never get put back together sequentially or in a way that the controller can optimize again for speed.

The only fix, may be running a factory wipe from the Drive MFG’s tool set, that should fully blank each cell and let you re-install and make it feel fresh again.

Be warned though, you have already done a full drive write once at least, this would be another. You can expect some dead cells and while there is over provisioning that should provide replacements you could see a loss in usable space sooner than later.

i deleted everything ywsterday, and i trimmed today. i was unaware of the dead cell issue. is there a way to disk defragment an ssd?

infinitevalence,
@infinitevalence@discuss.online avatar

in theory time, it should slowly rewrite everything to consolidate it. If you dont have time, then factory format and reinstall.

ShortN0te, in Upgrade vs Reinstall

Both sides are absolutely valid. A complete new install is very easy when you only need to run a few scripts. A small setup with minimal dependencies should also not break that easily when you upgrade your distro release.

I personally always make sure that the way i do things in a distro is the way they intended. That’s how i keep my minimalistic Arch install and multiple larger Debian deployments going for years.

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

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.
