  1. Tech help please. Is there a bootable USB image that I can download and use to test hardware?

    Back in the day, I would have used Ultimate Boot CD but I don't know if that is still a thing, or if it will work with modern hardware.

    Any suggestions? Boosts welcome.

  7. Dear #FediTechSupport, anyone got any idea what's going on with this printer?

    It's a Brother colour laser (HL-L8250CDN). Sometimes it prints a page or two OK; sometimes I get the waste of toner on the right. Yesterday, it printed three pages and switched suddenly from dark to clear mid-page. Then it printed 12 pages OK. The next six pages were all dark again.

    Today, I did a couple of tests. The first page was fine. The second, a minute later, wasn't.

  9. Okay fedi, I need help using my 8bitdo Ultimate C wired gaming controller on my desktop.

    I recall doing some fiddling a few years ago and I got it to work with Mint. I don't remember what I did. A month ago I tried using it again on Debian and it didn't work. I have now switched to Void, where it also doesn't work.

    Google and DDG results are dominated by discussion of connecting wireless controllers over Bluetooth. Many of them say things like "as a fallback, you can plug your controller in through a USB port and it will work automatically." Except...it doesn't work. My controller is wired only (I don't think it supports bluetooth at all).

    So, let's start with the first test. If I plug my controller into my phone, running stock Android, it works automatically with no configuration required. I tested it with the Android version of
    @[email protected] . So I know the controller itself is not broken.

    According to the
    official instruction manual, when plugging it in to a Raspberry Pi, you must hold 'B' until the controller's light turns on and stays on (not blinking). I do this when plugging it in to my computer. Here's what lsusb shows.

    lsusb
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:082d Logitech, Inc. HD Pro Webcam C920
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04d9:1702 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. Keyboard LKS02
    Bus 004 Device 003: ID 2357:0120 TP-Link Archer T2U PLUS [RTL8821AU]
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
    Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0461:4d0f Primax Electronics, Ltd HP Optical Mouse
    Bus 006 Device 003: ID 2dc8:3017 8BitDo 
    Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

    So my computer is able to find the controller. However, it doesn't work, even on games I know it previously worked on when I was on Mint (such as SuperTux).

    In Plasma's system settings, the "game controllers" tab says
    No game controllers found
    Steam likewise does not recognize that I have a controller plugged in.

    8bitdo's website promotes a firmware
    "upgrade tool." I will start by saying I highly doubt it would help me, because
    my controller ran with my system several years ago without any firmware updates.

    Despite my skepticism, I gave it a try anyway. The firmware updater is only for Windows and MacOS, so I tried to run the Windows version in Wine, and I was unsuccessful. I don't know anything about configuring Wine, so I have no idea if there's a way to make it work.

    I also looked to see if 8bitdo makes a firmware updater Android app. They do...but only for wireless controllers.

    So what can I do to get my controller working on my desktop?

    EDIT: SOLVED by

    The steps are
    1) Install
    steam-udev-rules
    2) Reboot
    3) When plugging the controller in, hold "X"
    instead of "B" (this is directly contrary to what the instruction manual says).

    Thank you everyone who chimed in!

  11. I just tried installing @[email protected] on my laptop and I am having trouble.

    I previously installed it successfully in a virtual machine, so I tried replicating the same steps. I got through the installer pretty easily, and rebooted into the tty. Then I ran
    xbps-install -Su to update, followed by

    # xbps-install NetworkManager pipewire sddm xorg plasma-desktop kate konsole

    Then I tried "linking services." I have never actually done this in my previous decade using Linux: I am just following the directions in the Void documentation.
    # ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/
    # ln -s /etc/sv/sddm /var/service/

    After I did that the sddm login manager immediately started automatically. I typed in my password and...nothing. I get a completely blank black screen. Nothing displayed. No input. No output.

    I tried rebooting, and it automatically launches SDDM again. Typing my password in has the same effect.

    Rebooting again, I looked for any options in SDDM I could change, but there aren't any I can find. Despite installing the xorg package, SDDM only gives me the option to log in with Wayland. I also don't know how to quit out of SDDM and go back to the tty.

    I tried rebooting in recovery mode, hoping it would give me a tty, but it doesn't: even in recovery mode it launches sddm automatically, and logging in gives me a frozen blank screen.

    There are three kernels installed (which I can see from GRUB): 6.12.11_1, 6.12.95_1, and 6.18.38_1. Booting with any of these kernels, with or without recovery mode, gives the same effect.

    Is there a way to fix this system?

    EDIT: Thanks to
    @[email protected] for reminding me that ctrl+alt+f1 switches to a tty. So now the question is what I can install or configure to make Plasma work.


    EDIT 2:

    From the TTY I tried installing other GUIs: Weston, Sway, LXQt, and Cinnamon.

    Weston and Sway give the exact same trouble as Plasma.
    OpenBox (installed automatically with LXQt) gives a blank gray screen instead of a blank black screen.

    Cinnamon and LXQt work, BUT there is no wifi. The wi-fi icon in the task bar is present, but clicking it reveals nothing. No networks to connect to, no settings, no "can't find any networks" error. I previously had this issue when installing Debian
    https://transfem.social/notes/aacqmdj80ypp0ew9
    I don't know how to fix it: I reinstalled and it magically fixed itself. It seems like the wifi issue may be unrelated to the graphics display/wayland issue.

  13. Any mac nerds wanna help with a weird one?

    I've got an A1466 running 26.1, everything works except for mirroring (no t2) and apple intelligence (no neural engine) and the wifi(???)

    So obviously I'm trying to get the wifi working, since it'd be a snowball's chance in hell for the other things to work.

    IDK literally anything about macOS under the hood except that its darwin which is (kind of) a BSD, so I'm like way out of my depths here.

  18. Most "broken charging port" diagnoses are wrong.

    A USB-C cable fails months internally before showing external damage — the copper strands break at the housing, the insulation looks intact. Your phone flashes the charging icon but nothing charges the battery.

    Before port replacement, try a new cable, compressed air in the port, force restart. That solves most cases.

  19. Okay, a bit miffed now.

    Was going through the list of accounts that I follow to see if there were any inactive ones or any that I don't wish to follow anymore & I was finding that when I went to several profiles (on different servers) that most of them displayed as if I was not following them.
    The button that should say Unfollow showed up as the Follow button.
    On a couple I clicked the Follow button to see what would happen & it brought up a dialogue box asking me to sign in, offering a field to enter my full handle in. This makes no sense as I'm already logged in on my instance & I doubt me logging in to their instance would work as I do not have an account there.

    Could someone explain what that's about as it's a little disturbing to a non-tech head?

    Thanks 🙂

  21. Back in 2015~ I used to read a tech magazine published in Italy, and a thing from it has been stuck in my head:

    It was a mesh network, but unlike Meshtastic, its main purpose was file sharing (yes, that kind, but also things like guides or recipes)
    I think the name was bird-themed?

    Anyone remember?

  26. Hi fedi, I am trying to install Void Linux in a virtual machine (as a stepping stone to considering running it as my main distro).

    I managed to set up the base system and installed the
    plasma-desktop and sddm packages, but I cannot actually get Plasma to launch. When I run startplasma-wayland from the tty, I get the following error

    org.kde.startup: not a reply org.freedesktop.locale1 QDBusMessage(type=Error, service="", error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", error message="The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any .service files", signature="s", contents=("The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any .service files"))
    startplasmacompositor: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?
    Note: I manually transcribed the error message from the VM screen, so I might have made a typo.

    The same error results whether I am running a user or root terminal.

    The [documentation says](docs.voidlinux.org/config/graphical-session/kde.html) that Plasma requires both the
    dbus and sddm services, so I went back to the documentation on enabling services to enable both of them. They provide two methods of enabling services:
    # ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/
    and
    # ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/
    I tried both of these methods in separate copies of my VM, and then verified using sv status dbus and sv status sddm that the services were running. It made no difference: attempting to start plasma gives the same error. I tried using sv to restart both services and it made no difference.

    Search engines did not yield anything helpful: all the results were
    a) Discussions about Arch using SystemD, or
    b) Folks asking for help starting Plasma 5 with x11.

    Also, most folks asking for help on search engines could already start Plasma manually, but couldn't get it to start automatically on boot. I am not able to launch Plasma
    at all.

    I did find someone with the same question as me from almost a year ago, but no solution.

    So what can I do to get Plasma working on Void?

  30. My #garmin doesn't seem to be charging anymore. The connector is proprietary so I don't want to drop money on it and find out it's the watch that's broken. I took out my multimeter and tested continuity and resistance of all four pins in the cable. That seemed to indicate the cable is good, but I didn't test voltage. Can I assume at this point the cable is good and it's the watch's jack that's busted?

(i of course have adapters in place). have tried toggling a few things back and forth in the retropie config file but no luck as of yet.

  34. My sister wanted an outdoor (shockproof) unGoogled phone, since she hates Google and also has a history of completly destroying her phones.

    The best I could come up with was a Motorola that we just put a good case on, since there are no rugged phones with ROMs that I could find.

    Is there a better option that I'm just missing?
