KDE Plasma - Is it possible to show the user running a GUI in its window title ? (self.linux)
 

I run different programs as different users, is it possible to have a visual indication of wether a user or another is running them ? e.g dolphin as user1, dolphin as user2, etc

Prevent display turning off when playing media (self.linux)
 

It's possible to inhibit the display turn off in kde using ``kde-inhibit --power --screenSaver ``` However, I want to inhibit the display turning off only when playing media (either by spotify or a browser), and let it sleep as usual when not playing media.

How could I achieve this? Is there a lower level solution that doesn't envolve the DE's setting?

I mean the problem isn't the update process itself, it's Nvidia changing and breaking things that we have no idea. You only know when you boot up and suddenly something that was working such as a display arrangement gets messed up. After a few years using Linux you get used to cheroot using a live USB and downgrading Nvidia. Would immutable distros solve this?

Been using arch for a long time, it never really break itself. Even changes that require manual intervention are usually minor "we have changed how java pkgs are listed please reinstall according to your needs"

Flagships from 2018 still run smoothly and are only degraded by stupid software restrictions like these

Mozilla Might Finally Enable Firefox's Wayland Backend Soon in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] shadowintheday 16 points 1 year ago

I meant using MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, of course

only glitch recently is that I couldn't get multi-account containers to work. 2 years ago I couldn't even open setting's menu under wayland, so it's been evolving

Firefox is surprisingly one of the few programs that has no/almost no glitches in wayland with nvidia.

r8169 ethernet firmware failing to load module rtl8168h (self.archlinux)
 

I am troubleshooting slow boot times with KDE, and it seems that NetworkManager is taking a few seconds to boot. I found these warnings from kernelring buffer's journal:

Oct 06 22:08:59 archlinux kernel: r8169 0000:08:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw failed with error -2

lspci | grep Ethernet
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)

Ultimately the card works, but the kernel spends some seconds trying to get it working, and it my be delaying the boot. I've tried using the 8168 module and adding iommu=soft to kernel parameters, neither worked. Does anyone else here has had this problem ?

Just a heads up, Nvidia 535.54.03-1 broke my system in c/archlinux@lemmy.ml

several nvidia process exited with code 1 early in kernel loading, I didn't go after much else

Nope, I tried mkinitcpio -P and bootctl in arch-croot with a live usb, reinstalling kernels, installing normal linux kernel instead of zen, only downgrading nvidia worked

Rarely something breaks my system (other than me messing with it), but this update was one of them. At first I thought it was the kernel upgrade that also came by today, but downgrading this pkg to 530 ~ made X and gdm work again

[–] shadowintheday 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I use workspaces too, it's just that each of them have 2 windows placed besides each other as if each were a "normal sized" display

Using newest GNOME

I want windows of newly opened programs to either go to to to the half left, or half right of the screen when opened, instead of opening in a random place/middle of the screen not maximized

is it possible ?
