By “start with dbus” do you mean with the dbus-launch utility? I think it’s needed because it sets some environment variables that thunar uses to actually find and connect to the bus. If you run just the daemon “on the side”, thunar won’t know how to connect to it. Kind of how you need $DISPLAY to be set correctly for X11 applications to work.
I need Windows and Kali Linux to study for an exam so after VMware stopped working on Ubuntu 23.10, I decided to use QEMU/KVM. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get shared folders or a bridge connection to work in KVM so I decided to just install Debian 12 on my PC and hope that VMware works on it. Shared folders and a bridge connection are must-haves for me.
I haven’t tried this myself, but it seems if you want to mount multiple virtiofs drives in the guest os, you’ll have to use WinFSP.Launcher instead of default virtiofs windows service. You’ll need to:
I wonder if the previous owner removed the battery because of this issue in the first place.
The fact that the flickering is full-width bands that don’t appear in screenshots indicates to me that this is a signal issue to or through the display.
An important variable to pay attention to and experiment with is the display’s refresh rate. It’s possible that is what is changing with and without the battery, though you most likely would have noticed if that were the case.
Since the problem varies based on battery presence, it would be appropriate to source a replacement battery - especially if you purchased a cheap aftermarket battery. The real deal for your system is available for $80USD from Parts People compared to $20-$40USD for low quality Amazon junk.
After the battery, my main suspicion is a fault on the mainboard leaking voltage from the battery circuit and affecting the display signals. Even without the infrequency of the problem that would be tricky to isolate and remedy.
Overall, this screams hardware issue and I don’t believe you will find a software trace of it. The problem is not visible in screenshots, so the software environment does not know that it exists.
It would be cool to have it also just navigate the web for you as you. Basically would start polluting all the trackers and if enough people used it their databases would be so overwhelmed. Seems like a good tool from a privacy stand point would get hard to really pinpoint you for advertising or whatevertheir other purposes are for tracking.
Install a windows first just to launch the Dell Command Update app (you’ll have to download it from the Dell website) and use it to update the BIOS and Intel firmwares.
These laptops even run badly on win10 until you update everything.
Then install your chosen distro. I bet there will be fewer problems then.
