How to solve this boot error message? (lemmy.world)

I’m on debian 11, this error doesn’t show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don’t know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it’s just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in...

I think the newer kernel should work after reinstallation.
If it doesn’t and you want to stay with the older one:

apt list --installed linux-image*

There should be a package with a specific version number in its name. For example, the standard kernel for Debian 11 is:
linux-image-5.10.0-26-amd64

Uninstall the linux-image-… package you don’t want to keep.
Also uninstall linux-image-amd64 which is the meta-package that pulls in the newest kernel version. Without it, you won’t get new kernel versions in upgrades.

KISSmyOS,

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind if I need to do more.
Currently, I just have a 5 minute clip that needs cutting, stabilizing and some color correction, and Shotcut let me do that without tutorials or manuals.

KISSmyOS,

Best Linux Distro for a tablet?

Been wanting to put Linux on my Surface Pro 7, but when i tried it with Ubuntu, it didn’t work as well as I’d like. I used the Surface driver kernel, but Ubuntu wasn’t really good with touch. It couldn’t give a pop up keyboard (only showed up when logging into my account, but never beyond that). Sometimes it wouldn’t...

KISSmyOS,

KDE isn’t better with touch than Gnome. Maybe Plasma 6 will change that when it comes out next year, or maybe not.

Arch breaks all the time.

Is that your recent personal experience?

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

KISSmyOS,

I used Gnome for half an hour when I noticed I can three-finger-swipe left/right to switch workspaces and swipe up/down to open and close the overview. I’ll never use anything else on my laptop!

Why do people hate on mobile games, call them "not real games" and mock them, when some mobile-exclusive games are the best games I've played?

The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don’t even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do....

KISSmyOS,

Question to you: Why do you care if others mock the games you like to play?
Does it make you feel like less of a “gamer”?

On some level, all games are just pushing buttons (or a screen) to make our brain produce the happy chemicals.

KISSmyOS,

Unfortunately, it has a Windows logo on it, so it’s the Windows key.

KISSmyOS,

How would they trap everyone in the ecosystem?
This isn’t Apple, there’s a gajillon other ways of getting software you can use on every single linux distro.

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

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

KISSmyOS,

It’s not messed up, though. It’s just set to a different value.
If the exact amount of paragraph spacing is important to you, you can either set it before you print, share the file as PDF or use a proper layouting software. This isn’t a Linux issue, you should do the same when sharing a file with someone using MS Office.
Because opening a Word document in a different MS Office version than the one it was created with can also mess it up, but somehow businesses deal with that.

Your yardstick for a usable desktop system is “every detail and default setting in all software needs to be exactly the same as on the Windows equivalent”.
So by definition only Windows can ever be a usable desktop system. No matter how good anything else may be.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

You’re missing the point, if you get a document from a MS Office user you can’t simply view it or print it and assume the result will be what the user intended it to be.

You’re missing the point. You can’t assume that even if both use MS Office, either. Cause one of the users could have changed a setting, or use Office Online, or Office for OSX, or an older version, all of which aren’t fully compatible.
MS breaks these things all the time between versions too, without even telling you they’ve updated your Office.
Again, if layout of your end product is important, don’t share .docx files.

KISSmyOS,

I actually believe that bugtesting for important software should include cats walking across the keyboard.

Just think how many times they broke extensions without any regard for the individuals using it.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s the job of the Gnome developers to update and improve Gnome.
It’s the job of the extension developers to update their extensions when there’s a new Gnome version.
And it’s the job of your distro’s maintainers to keep the versions of Gnome and the extensions in the repo compatible.
If you install Gnome from your distro’s repo and extensions from Gnome’s website, YOU take on this job.

Just install your extensions from your distro’s repo and you won’t have any issues.

I do. Gnome is a special case because it doesn’t give you a lot of options. It’s take it or leave it, and it doesn’t follow the traditional mouse-centric desktop workflow.
But in my opinion it’s absolutely perfect for a laptop where you use the keyboard and touchpad. With a few key combos and swipe gestures you can fly through the UI and it only ever shows you what’s relevant at the moment.

Technologically, it’s the best DE out there, no contest. (Maybe with the exception of touchscreen integration)
But some design decisions grind my gears so hard I can’t use it.
I get irrationally angry when I see the bouncing cursor animation, or look at a list of my programs and half the names start with “K”.
It feels too sluggish, overloaded and Windows-y in its default configuration and getting rid of everything that nags me takes too long, when Gnome comes out of the box looking simple and stylish.

KISSmyOS,

How can they use GPL’ed code and then close it? I thought this was specifically forbidden?

KISSmyOS,

That’s what I’m running since yesterday. Bare-bones Debian (base system + Gnome shell) with all GUI apps installed from Flatpak.

KISSmyOS,

There are way too many appendages in this image.

Did you find all the different directors cuts of Naughty Furry Adventures you were looking for?

KISSmyOS,

Yes, there is.
But plenty of animals don’t just pick up things they can use, but actually make tools for specific tasks.
Apes can and do sharpen stones they want to use as tools.
Crows have shown they can bend wire into a hook to fetch food out of a container.
Hell, on my commute, a group of crows drop nuts onto a pedestrian crossing, wait for cars to crush them, then collect them safely when the light for pedestrians turns green and the cars stop.
