A gnu really is an exceptionally weak mascot, thank god we have the penguin.

Wulpo, in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

AFAIK, most distros will also have a package manager/software center where you install flatpaks (or snaps if you are on ubuntu). Think of flatpaks akin to mobile apps where everything needed is all together in one package. Not all apps will be flatpaked though, and VPNs tend to be nearly always direct binaries due to needing some higher level permissions than what flatpaks will allow.

Essentially, what im saying is no, not all apps need to be manually installed, but some might need to for one reason or another. And sometimes, knowing a little about how some of these apps are installed might actually help you understand linux a little more (it has in my case)

Open the terminal and copy and paste the commands found in their install guide for Ubuntu:


<span style="color:#323232;"># Download signing key 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Add the stable repository
</span><span style="color:#323232;">echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Install 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt update
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install mullvad-vpn
</span>
possiblylinux127, in Videos stuttering across all applications

Do you know what changed a month ago. It sounds like maybe a hardware issue or a bad update.

Lars,

I had moved to a new house but my setup is the same as it was prior. I run updates regularly but I’m pretty sure the issue started after moving and before updating

Owljfien, in Boatswain can't access applications

If flatpak permissions are the problem, you could try out flatseal, and see if you can make the problem go away by tweaking permissions

Lime66, (edited )

Have done that, didn’t do anything

EinfachUnersetzlich, in Which kernel configurations for USB SD card reader (Genesys Logic) ?

Try lshw on the laptop when it’s connected, it should tell you the module it’s using.

tho, in Wifi stopped showing in linux mint

rfkill?

didn't register the wifi, after a few attempts with a live usb stick (where the same thing happened, so no fix there), I got back into the mint installation and it worked

stepanzak, in Terminal Utility Mega list!

atuin is similar to mcfly but IMO better.

Steamymoomilk,

added to the list! thanks!

Jack, (edited ) in [Solved] Font not available in Firefox or (Epiphany GNOME) Web browser.

Thanks for the comments. Based on them I found github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/21 which suggested copying the font to ~/.fonts/ (which didn’t work) and to /usr/local/share/fonts/ which fixed it - Epiphany can now see the font, and I can now set it as default in Firefox (tho Firefox is ignoring it in a page’s CSS).

juli, in Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

Use this github.com/DLopezJr/fp

genie, in Writing program

Others are recommending Obsidian (which I have no experience with, it may be the right way to go).

Myself, I chose Logseq on a whim a year or two ago and haven’t looked back. In the backend you get a nicely composed set of plain-ol’ markdown files that you can cp/edit/merge as needed.

Legisign, in Is anyone using awk?

cut is actually next to useless, because it cannot understand that multiple spaces can still be a single separator in most text files in /etc. You have to use AWK.

bizdelnick, in What are your opinions of Guix?

I don’t like the idea of configuring pm (or anything else) using a programming language. So I would try nix first if I feel that I need it. However I don’t.

ultra,

nix is a programming language too

bizdelnick,

Thank you, I forgot this.

Atemu,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Not quite: It’s an expression language.

The ultimate output of Nix is one set of data, usually the description of a derivation (~= package). You cannot cause arbitrary side-effects with it like writing to files or making network requests with it.
