  • good backup program? (2026/06/20 19:46)
    This might be a good point to reinforce the following.   A backup is not a backup unless it is tested.   A system is not backed up unless there is a backup that is not on site.
  • Skiko RenderException: Cannot create OpenGL context (2026/06/20 19:17)
    I fixed it! The logs about inactive session are gone. But I still get this:The patch removes the dependency, cinnamon will for now not establish a graphical-session user target.I checked in BIOS, and hybrid graphics are disabled[ 1235.037] (--) PCI:*(3@0:0:0) 1002:747e:1458:2413 rev 200, Mem @ 0xf800000000/17179869184, 0xfc00000000/268435456, 0xf6b00000/1048576, I/O @ 0x0000f000/256, BIOS @ 0x????????/131072 [ 1235.037] (--) PCI: (19@0:0:0) 1002:164e:1462:7d74 rev 203, Mem @ 0xfc20000000/268435456, 0xfc30000000/2097152, 0xf6a00000/524288, I/O @ 0x0000e000/2561002:747e is "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

But firstYes, I have tried using `SKIKO_RENDER_API=SOFTWARE bin/pycharm`, but it still doesn't help.No, the idea would be to remove that environment, resp. make sure to run skiko in an evironment where it's not set.But since it's not possible to upload an imageTry eg. imgur.com
  • Creating/deleting a mounting directory based on FS mount status (2026/06/20 19:12)
    Hi everyone, I'm currently converting an old-ish gaming pc into a sort of home server/NAS, it's all a lot of fun. There is a filesystem on there I want to mount to my laptop, but only when I'm at home. At the moment and for the foreseeable future, I won't be able to access this server over the internet.To be able to quickly see if the file system is mounted, I'd like the mount directory to only exist when the FS is available. So whenever I'm not at home, there's no visible mount directory, when my laptop connects to my home's wifi, the directory gets created and the FS gets mounted, when I leave, the FS gets unmounted and the directory gets removed, if I'm at home, but the FS is inaccessible (like if the server were to be shut down), it gets unmounted and the directory gets removed.  So far, I've found no easy way to do this. The simplest way to mount the network drive seems to be using /etc/fstab, using the x-systemd.automount and either nofail or soft options. From what I understand, this will also prevent the network drive mount timeout from slowing down my boot. Using the x-mount.mkdir option, it seems like I can also have fstab automatically create the directory, which is almost what I want! It just doesn't remove the directory when the FS gets unmounted.Does this sound possible? Maybe I'm coming at this from a completely wrong point of view. Does it even make sens to think of network file systems as "successfully mounted", or does my machine only check when it needs to access a file?

  • [SOLVED] After update flameshot is now not taking screenshots. (2026/06/20 18:48)
    For anyone who ended up here from a search, since this thread was my top result:For me, the /.config/flameshot/ folder was nonexistent. Additionally, running pacman -S flameshot made pacman claim it was doing a fresh installation as opposed to reinstalling like it usually would. I'm not sure if one is related to the other or if the directory never existed to begin with. I was launching flameshot via shell script, so I hadn't bothered with the config until now.Recreating the directory, flameshot.ini, and adding useX11LegacyScreenshot=true worked as described by H3g3m0n. Thank you.
  • Shift+Left/Right arrow key used to select characters in terminal. (2026/06/20 12:19)
    I think I am using bash shell.It does, When I first installed arch, shift select did use to work in terminal.Check and also what TE is this?cat /proc/$$/cmdline cat /proc/$PPID/cmdlineIs the default behavior for the shift+arrow key combination to select the text towards right or left?In bash? No. In fish might be (I honestly don't know) and for zsh there're zle commands that can be scripted.What you're asking isn't really the default anywhere and you're also running into copy/paste issues.If anything some specific GUI terminal emulator would have intercepted the keys (and you would not get any input on the shell then, but this can cause problems w/ shell processes, eg. vim)When I first installed arch, shift select did use to work in terminal.Is this arch-archlinux or manjaro-archlinux or cachy-archlinux…?

    Does this also happen if you use the plasma login manager that KDE sees as the successor of sddm ?

  • Plasmalogin - Black screen with mouse pointer (2026/06/20 06:35)
    You could pile onto the bug and stress that a static delay helps (so race condition for sure) but udevadm settle doesn't and also that it affects single GPU systems and is apparently not the simplydumb device either (*grumpf*), but yeah - that's your bug over there.

  • xfce icons changing positions randomly...is back (2026/06/19 21:37)
    I experienced this recently when I turned off my monitor while Xfce was running. Normally I reboot or let dpms take over but I could reproduce the rearranging of icons 100% by pressing the power button on the monitor. I "fixed" this by copying the icons section from my monitor to the "Default Monitor" section inside ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.yaml. This has to be done while Xfce isn't running. I don't change my icons often so this works for me :shrug:
