New post - Linux Roundup https://taffer.ca/posts/2024/linux-roundup/

A description of various Linux distros that I’ve used, which might help someone else pick one.

We released Quicktest v0.2.2! Quicktest is my little fun side-project to make automated testing of Linux distro installs easier and faster.

Here's a quick video of the new test which operates Calamares to test install Kubuntu 24.10 (daily live image) in a VM.

I can't get over how fast this is!

@etam The main advantage over open qa is ease of use and setup. Also, it doesn't insert anything into the running VM. So you can test anything so long as you can inject keypresses :)

@ali1234 The latest release (0.3.1) has a sample which can run after the full install of Ubuntu 24.04. It's super basic, just logs in, runs through the first-run wizard then launches an app, takes a screenshot and shuts down.

I’m using #Kubuntu on one of my laptops and I’m just a bit bummed that we won’t be getting #Plasma6 in this month’s semiannual OS release and would have to wait for the October Kubuntu 24.10 version. Then again, I remember the huge uproar that accompanied the release of Plasma 5 a decade ago, so I think I’m okay with waiting a few months for Plasma 6 (and especially the Wayland support) to be extra stable before upgrading.

Still really enjoying . But the one thing I haven’t had much joy with is the screenshot tool. It seems to capture the wrong area of the screen when I have multiple monitors. Plus it requires multiple clicks. Are there any recommendations for tools other than the one bundled in to ?

@am2605 I'm using flameshot for a good while now, and I'm happy with it. But my use case is mostly selecting an area. Also I need to un-dim the screen beforehand (have a little script for that), otherwise gives me the dimmed window content.

EDIT: I have given up.

Guys, I'm feeling frustrated and stumped.

Sitting at my sister's home, I can use the WLAN easily. Lappy connects to it automatically.

But I have LAN (yes, a physical cable) in my guest room that would give me better speed. I plug it into the laptop - and it will not connect. I even gave LAN priority in the settings.

I cannot find a setting to tell it to use the darn ethernet cable. Where do I look?

Running Kubuntu / Plasma on an Acer Travelmate.

@mark_pc

Thank you for taking the time to answer. 🙂

I'm going to assume that something is wrong with the cable. Laptop does have an ethernet port, I can plug in the cable. (It works at home, with my own cable.)

Since this is not my home, I won't be able to check the cable in detail. WLAN does work, so it is what it is.

@austincnunn

It does not. I tried that.

I decided to let it ride and assume something is wrong with the cable. Not my home, so I won't be able to check in any detail.

I've been playing around with via on my older M73 Tiny desktop. Quite snappy and I'm enjoying my time with it!

mosttoast, to linux

okay linux fans. I'm trying to get Divinity Original Sin 2 running on Kubuntu 22.04 under steam and proton, and it's just not doing it. I've tried most or all of the online suggestions w/r/t copying certain files and setting different flags and proton versions, but nothing past a black screen. anything I'm missing?

jimt, to Kubuntu

I moved my backup desktop machine from #Kubuntu to Fedora #Silverblue. I've been using it on my laptop for a couple of months now without significant issue, but still manage to confuse myself once in a while about which toolbox container I am in.

fedora,

@jimt you may want to check out Ptyxis. It's a terminal designed around using containers. Maybe it can help?

#Fensterfreitag #WindowFriday
Die verhüllten Schaufenster unseres Fahrradladens. Wie immer zum Klimastreik, mit schwarzem Packpapier und Plakaten, verhüllt.
Nach der dritten Aktion mit diesem Packpapier hat es ausgedient. Das Plakat mit dem Klimaschutzgerät werden wir dann im Laden aufhängen.
Mal schauen, was wir zum nächste Klimastreik machen. Falls die Aktionsform von #FFF so fortgesetzt wird.
