👾 Linux users, you're out of luck again! Turns out the HDMI Forum is busy perfecting the art of ignoring Valve's calls for HDMI 2.1 support on Linux. 🚪🔒 It's like they joined a secret society where Linux compatibility is the password nobody knows! 🤷‍♂️🔑

Does anyone know how to hard disable my motherboards onboard bluetooth radio in linux.

I'm looking to shutdown ONLY the onboard radio I need the USB radio to function

No disabling it in the bios doesn't work, no I don't know why.

Bluetoothctl does not work.
rfkill does not work.

I have no idea what I'm doing anymore.

I got a T:Slim X2 last week, then found out the app isn't available in Canada, plus the 'Upload Pump' in Tandem Source doesn't work with Linux. Had my first consult, "Uhhh, I can't get the data off my pump." "Well sucks to be you dude." (she didn't say that, not exactly anyway)

Sooo, I did a lot of googling figuring someone must have a solution. Nope, or I couldn't find one. I figured it out though. On the command line use:

sudo chown <username>:<group name, often 'dialout'> /dev/ttyACM0
chmod 664 /dev/ttyACM0

after connecting the pump but before clicking on 'Upload Pump' seem to make it work on Google Chrome, on Linux Mint! Yay! You'll have to do this every time after connecting the pump though.

I know this is likely obvious to most Linux users here, but it wasn't to me. If any other Linux users here have been banging their heads trying to get a connection, try these commands before you try something horrible like using Windows or MacOS.

can someone tell me, how to get #AutoKey (installed appstream://autokey-gtk.desktop) from Discover working in all windows in #Neon #KDE?

It works in Google Chrome, but not in #Thunderbird (which would be 95% of my usage) or Kate.

When you accidentally firewall the SSH port on your headless server, and the shitty VGA monitor that you usually use for things like this was repurposed a month ago because you definitely wouldn't need it, so you connect a keyboard to it and blindly log in in the hopes that you can turn it off without having a console to look at.

@sentinel65 Haven't yet figured out how to start the VPN using CLI. Once I crack that then yes, a start-up script will suit me fine!

I've distro-hopped a thousand times, from Ubuntu to Alpine, never getting very deep with any of them... OpenSUSE would be ideal, but I found it very difficult to setup a VPN. #linuxproblems
