hey yall, need some linux help here

I'm on Linux Mint 22.3. On around December 7, 2025 my desktop environment seemed to have frozen. Ever since then at least once or twice a month I get either one of three things:

-Desktop environment and mouse freeze up and do not recover, requiring a force restart
-System crashes with a green screen, requiring a force restart
-System just randomly restarts on its own

I suspected from the green screen crashes that it was my graphics drivers, so I added these to my kernel parameters: amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 which seemed to have fix it as I haven't gotten it since, but freezes and reboots still happen. It never happens under circumstances like playing video games or watching YouTube videos. It specifically happens when I'm just browsing the web normally. I'm unsure what is causing it. I checked if there's anything potentially causing overheating and there is not. I also checked journalctl and dmesg but those showed up with nothing. This did not happen under Windows 10 or Linux Mint for the few months until December 7, 2025. I do remember one green screen crash under EndeavourOS in 2024 when I first got this computer, but I haven't seen this problem again until a few months ago.

CPU is Ryzen 9 6900HX with integrated Radeon 680M graphics. Kernel 6.8.0-111-generic #linux #linuxhelp #linuxmint

How do I troubleshoot a black screen on #KDE #Plasma? I am able to launch apps just fine, but:
- the desktop is all black (no start menu, global menu etc, and the desktop background isn't getting rendered)
- the window decorations are HUGE.

Is there any easy way to debug this? I had initially suspected this was due to my using #Stylix on stock #archlinux, but no, disabling it didn't change a thing (apart from the theme).

I do have custom desktop effects and window decorations installed; so I suspect that might be the issue. How do I disable them if systemsettings does not launch (for some weird reason)?


It's definitely not a kernel issue (I've tried on the stock Arch kernel and the CachyOS kernel), and it certainly isn't a graphics issue (stock mesa etc, and I don't have a dGPU on this machine).


Will send screenshots in a while. Any and all help appreciated! Thanks in advance. Toots and boosts welcome.

J'aurais besoin de conseils pour configurer linux sur un macbook air 2017.

J'ai installé Linux Mint sur une machine d'occasion. C'est ma première fois 😅

Tout fonctionne bien, mais je voudrais pouvoir allumer l'ordinateur sans ouvrir le capot car il est destiné à servir de mediacenter sur un écran externe.

Quelle est la meilleure option pour y parvenir ? Sur macOS, il "suffisait" de configurer l'allumage quotidien à 6h du matin. Ainsi, lorsqu'on allumait la multiprise secteur pour la première fois de la journée, tout se mettait en route tout seul.

Le top serait que brancher l'ordi sur secteur provoque l'allumage.

I made a new video! This time, I share how I install Debian on my systems. I wanted to do something a little more unscripted this time.

Apparently there are about 10 seconds of bad audio at the beginning. Sorry about that! I'm not sure what happened.

Anyways, I hope you like it!

Ho bisogno di installare una vecchia versione di lilypond, la 2.18.2, ho trovato i vecchi binari qui: https://lilypond.org/download/binaries/linux-64/, ho modificato il file per installarli nel path desiderato ma non funziona, qualcuno può darmi una mano?

So I'm trying out #Fedora 43's #KDE spin on my #SurfacePro 9 with a live USB. I know about #SurfaceLinux if I decide to go all in with it. The network browser in Dolphin seems to be using '.local' for my instead of the search domain configured in /etc/resolv.conf. This seems to cause authentication to fail trying to access shares. I can manually type in the right hostname, but curious why it's putting that '.local' in there at all.

Advice needed: I want to set up #Linux Kiosk PCs. Users must log in with a card ID and password that are verified via a PHP webservice against a MariaDB.

The challenge: I need the Linux desktop login (e.g., via a Display Manager like LightDM/GDM) to authenticate against the custom remote service.

How can I implement this? Custom PAM module? Python-pam? Scripts?🤔

Hi, I had installed flyingcarpet in my Ubuntu based distro , I'm not able to uninstall the package as I'm not able to find any package name even similar to it.

Cześć wam.
W #debian11 po poleceniu apt update mam coś takiego:

E: The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-security Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Co ja mam tu zrobić, by się tego pozbyć?
