Im using grub with shim for secure boot, and it looks like it cannot load unsigned font files, how i can sign them?

So I got a stream deck recently and installed boatswain. It works fine except it cannot access any apps which actually show in the application menu. It is only available as a flatpak so that could be it

Yesterday night I had a problem with a usb port and the touch pad not working, I restarted the system a few times and switched back and forth with windows (which is installed on a different drive), they didn't work even there.After a few restarts the usbport and the touch pad came back to life, but the wifi stopped working. When...

I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape....

Edit: copying the font to /usr/local/share/fonts/ fixed it. (I downloaded Debian Xfce a while ago because of how much I dislike Snap, so I’ll soon replace Xubuntu with it.)...

Reposting because it looks like federation failed....

I just switched from Ubuntu 23.10 to Debian 12 (using X11) if that helps. I didn’t have this problem in Ubuntu.

Additional paths will be inserted into the search path used for executables on systems which have a compatible CPU. Those additional paths will mirror the AMD64 / x86_64 “microarchitecture levels” supported by the glibc-hwcaps mechanism: x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86_64-v4. Systemd will be modified to insert the additional...

Hey everyone!...

I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer.

I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five...

Studying and awk came up....

If anyone could help me out with this, I’d greatly appreciate it. Basically, I can’t ctrl + v to paste anything I pipe into the clipboard selection in xclip, and i can’t xclip -o anything I copied with ctrl-c or ctrl-shift-c....

For a little over a month now, when playing videos on firefox, VLC, or any other application, I get infrequent stutters. This is with or without hardware accelleration. It’s as if the video pauses briefly. If multiple videos are playing, even across different applications, each of them will be effected at the same time....

Title. Something that is minimal, has a daemon and a very KISS config file. Bonus points if it also has a “generic” setup (works for all pcs but its not optimal? So I could run this on my sbc.)...

I recently created a HD for dual boot Win 11 and Pop Os. I created a shared partition for Data, and separate partitions for the respective OS. I used gParted to create the partitions. It looks like Win then added bitlocker to this data partition....

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...
