Okay, I have internet trouble. On both my desktop and my laptop, I can connect, to my home wi-fi, but not to any other wi-fi point, including tethering to my phone.

I suspect this has been an issue since I switched to @[email protected] but I haven't confirmed it until today.

I have NetworkManager installed and launching automatically on boot. In Plasma's tray, I can see the wi-fi icon. I can see many wi-fi networks available to connect to. I can connect to them. But if I connect to any wi-fi network except my home router, I am told I am connected and that the data rate is 0 bytes/s download and 0 bytes/s upload.

Restarting NetworkManager makes no difference, nor does rebooting.

sudo sv status NetworkManager
run: NetworkManager: (pid 817) 21678s; run: log: (pid 815) 21678s

sudo ls /var/service
NetworkManager  agetty-tty2  agetty-tty4  agetty-tty6  dbus    sddm
agetty-tty1     agetty-tty3  agetty-tty5  cgroups      dhcpcd  udevd

Hello #Linux people.
Is there a program that I can use to open a draw box and Have it transcribe handwriting? I like using my stylus and I want to use a program that translate my handwriting to direct input for text fields. (Like how Apple Pencil uses the pen).

Out of curiosity for anyone using Linux Mint. Do you know if they have a page anywhere that pins the Linux Mint Debian Edition Version to the underlying Debian release version / packages that they are using as the base?

Thanks in advance.

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.

Hey #linux people, what's going on with #vim ?
It has ai code or something ? I would love to know.

Hey, all you #COSMIC Desktop fans out there… weird question. Is there a way to add animations to the desktop? I find the sudden appearance of windows jarring, and I prefer there to be more visual feedback when opening, moving, or closing windows.

@ElyseMGrasso I would just install the vanilla Debian Linux, perhaps using the headless installer (the “small installation image”) to save a little time, and then install the kde-standard meta-package on top of it. sudo apt-get install kde-standard

Debian has become very stable, even for hardware like BlueTooth and WiFi which, back in the day, never really worked reliably — nowadays it is completely reliable (in my experience). The only “bad” thing you can say about it is that it’s packages are not updated regularly so you don’t always get the latest software. But it is rock-solid stable and predictable.

As another option, I think MX Linux is a good choice as well.

(EDIT: didn’t think anyone would reshare this, but that’s cool. Let me just add some hash tags.) #tech #software #linux #LinuxQuestions

I've asked this on Bluesky, but I guess this is a better audience…

Can someone explain the appeal of the Dolphin file manager? Lotsa folks seem to swear by it, and I've never really understood why.

I use my file manager to move files from one place to another, copy them places, and to open them. If I need to do anything more complicated, I'm in a terminal.

And Dolphin makes moving and copying files through drag and drop annoying.

So… why do people love it so much?
