i've done it, I've finally figured out a workaround for this stupid bug that has existed on my system for the last 10 years. the citrix clipboard now works properly, this is the glueyest dumbest thing i've ever had to do and i've spent literally years trying to figure it out, turns out the wayland protocol forbids windows that don't have focus from accessing the clipboard, so, i had to make a window, it had to be focused for enough time for it to be recognized and it was a whole thing. Here you go for anybody that needs it, should be relatively easy to adapt from hyprland over to whatever. Fuck.

I've been using i3 for a while now, but the xfce power manager doesn't work outside the desktop environment, is there any alternative you can recommend? It doesn't matter if it is a terminal based or graphical interface program, I just need something that can suspend the computer after a certain time or lock it when the laptop is closed

I have on the host machine two network interfaces. One is lan and the other is a wlan. For libvirt I have created a nat network which is bound to the wlan. From the guest I can access other machines in the network host wlan is connected to. Also DNS lookup works. The problem is that there's no connection to the internet at all, e.g. pinging something gives "Destination network unreachable". ~~This only happens when both network connection on the host are active.~~ Running qemu/libvirt on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

The nat network in question:

<network>
  <name>natToWlan</name>
  <uuid>a44c939c-e6bf-44d0-8f86-376056d418a4</uuid>

    <nat>
      <port start="1024" end="65535"/>
    </nat>
    <interface dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1"/>
  </forward>
  <bridge name="virbr1" stp="on" delay="0"/>

I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.

I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.

If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.

Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!

Hi everyone,

I'm getting fed up windows and want to switch my laptop to linux. My laptop also doesn't meet windows 11 standards so I figured nows a good time to switch. I don't do a whole lot on my laptop, but there are some programs that I do need to use. I have an E drum kit and right now I use reaper and Steven slate audio center to play and record my drums through my laptop. I looked at reaper, and I see linux options for download. But for Steven slate , I only see windows and Mac. This is pretty disappointing and so I figured I ask to see what would work for me.

I was going to go with Ubuntu, because it seems to be the most user friendly and has good support. I also use mullvad VPN on my laptop very frequently, which was another reason I chose Ubuntu.

Any help is appreciated. I'm willing to look at other distros too if there is one that better fits my needs.

EDIT: I have successfully migrated to linux mint and have reaper working with yabridge. Thanks, everyone, for your help and suggestions!

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I've been having trouble getting Stable Diffusion to run on Arch. I bought a 7900 XTX a couple weeks ago to get away from NVIDIA, one thing I really liked to do was mess around in Stable Diffusion, but for some reason I can't seem to get it working. I followed the guide on their page, but I think it may be outdated:

https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Install-and-Run-on-AMD-GPUs#install-on-amd-and-arch-linux

When I do 'pip install -r requirements.txt', it fails halfway through installing:

https://paste.debian.net/1317412

Not sure what to do from here, any help is appreciated!

I have a laptop that spends some of it's time docked to a monitor and keyboard/mouse. I would like to know how to change some settings depending on if it's connected to the dock or not. Is there a program that can help with this?

Some possible use-cases include:

• Changing size of the taskbar to smaller/bigger
• Changing the behavior of the taskbar to auto-hide
• Changing the font size smaller/bigger
• Changing power settings performance/battery saver
• Enabling/disabling auto brightness
• Enabling/disabling keyboard backlight

These are just a few things I can think of but can provide more.

Something like Android's Tasker but for Linux would be great.

A short list with categories of my smol terminal focused tools, scripts and functions I have created over the years. There are some general purpose and very specific ones. This list was needed, because in Github it was a bit cluttered. Maybe, just maybe, you find something useful or inspiring in there.

Basically the title, I want to use my laptop, which uses Arch Linux, and my tablet, which is an android one, as an external monitor for my desktop pc.

After years of my desktop environment (kde) being configured the same way, I tried enabling auto-hiding in my panel and I quite like the extra screen estate.

Now, the only reasons why I have a panel in the first place are the clock and the system tray (I don't use the ~~start~~ applications menu and I don't care for the task manager) so I've started wondering if I could completely dispose of the panel.

Do you know of any launcher (I use krunner but switching to something else is fine) that satisfies (or can be configured to satisfy) the following?

1. shows the current date/time
2. integrates a system tray
3. launches applications
4. does math, unit conversion and currency conversion

I've been using open webui for some time but I wanted to test the Alpaka, a KDE app - https://apps.kde.org/alpaka/

When I click on an "Install on linux" button, Discover app is opening and gives me this error "Could not open appstream://org.kde.alpaka because it was not found in any available software repositories." When using dnf there's no such package as Aplaka. I can find and install other KDE apps. What am I missing?

I'm on Fedora 40, KDE spin.

greetings, i want to build a daw (digital audio workstation), but i have no idea where to even start. here are my needs and the options i've found:

my needs:

• load and keep things (audio, midi) in memory
• cross-platform compatibility is not a requirement

the options i've found:

• ~~flutter~~
• ~~gtk/qt~~
• raylib (with zig)
• ~~webassembly (with zig)~~

[rejected] flutter: the first option that came to my mind was flutter. i thought it would give me a quick start in laying down the ui, but i don't think it has the capability to fulfill my needs (please correct me if i'm wrong)

gtk/qt (with zig): i wonder if qt provide bindings for zig

raylib (with zig): it's cool (my choice as of now)

[rejected] webassembly (with zig): it would be an ultimate comfort to build this way ig, but is it possible to make that web app into desktop one (like tauri or something)?

id really appreciate your opinions and advice

ps: i hope i'm clear. i got a headache searching about these. i'll update this post for more clarity later

final note

Thank you guys for all your opinions and advises. Thanks for explaining the limitations with gtk, things with qt and flutter. That kotlin compose thing was cool too. Thanks for mentioning yabridge thats gonna be helpful. It might not seem like it, but I did listen to your thoughts, and stuck with zig and raylib. Thanks a lot

Running a distro in a disk image has always been my favourite install method since wubi came out because a backup was only a question of copying a disk image and a couple of grub config files.

Then brunch applied the same method for ChromeOS but not only for windows, you could do it on Linux too.

Now with Linuxloops all setup has been automated and extended to many other distributions, not only ChromeOS.

Title is TLDR. More info about what I'm trying to do below.

My daily driver computer is Laptop with an SSD. No possibility to expand.

So for storage of lots n lots of files, I have an old, low resource Desktop with a bunch of HDDs plugged in (mostly via USB).

I can access Desktop files via SSH/SFTP on the LAN. But it can be quite slow.

And sometimes (not too often; this isn't a main requirement) I take Laptop to use elsewhere. I do not plan to make Desktop available outside the network so I need to have a copy of required files on Laptop.

Therefor, sometimes I like to move the remote files from Desktop to Laptop to work on them. To make a sort of local cache. This could be individual files or directory trees.

But then I have a mess of duplication. Sometimes I forget to put the files back.

Seems like Laptop could be a lot more clever than I am and help with this. Like could it always fetch a remote file which is being edited and save it locally?

Is there any way to have Laptop fetch files, information about file trees, etc, located on Desktop when needed and smartly put them back after editing?

Or even keep some stuff around. Like lists of files, attributes, thumbnails etc. Even browsing the directory tree on Desktop can be slow sometimes.

I am not sure what this would be called.

Ideas and tools I am already comfortable with:

• rsync is the most obvious foundation to work from but I am not sure exactly what would be the best configuration and how to manage it.

• luckybackup is my favorite rsync GUI front end; it lets you save profiles, jobs etc which is sweet

• freeFileSync is another GUI front end I've used but I am preferring lucky/rsync these days

• I don't think git is a viable solution here because there are already git directories included, there are many non-text files, and some of the directory trees are so large that they would cause git to choke looking at all the files.

• syncthing might work. I've been having issues with it lately but I may have gotten these ironed out.

Something a little more transparent than the above would be cool but I am not sure if that exists?

Any help appreciated even just idea on what to web search for because I am stumped even on that.

I was trying to add an Epson L655 to CUPS, but when i try to print something, the job fails saying the the printer no longer exists or the the printer's config is invalid, even if i add the correct IP
