Maybe you just need to “enable” it in the display settings of your DE.

The laptop is certified to run Ubuntu 22.04, so try that out.

Although they do mention:

Standard images of Ubuntu may not work well, or at all.

There’s probably an efivar that reads the current microcode version.

~/git/AUR|dev|whatever/$(git clone) is where mine usually reside.

Isn’t rawhide the “rolling” version? If so, it does not really count as 42, just what packages 42 is likely gonna have.

I think he wrote that he had been contributing for about 7 or 8 years, and only the last one was as a volunteer.

Just to clarify. In-kernel drivers is not the same as open source firmware. Most bluetooth dongles use the in-kernel driver, but require proprietary firmware to be loaded before they work. Most of that firmware is present in the linux-firmware packages/repository, but the setup would no longer be FOSS only.

If that’s the case, then you should answer the OP with how it’s set up. OP is specifically asking how to do it with random drives other people hands them, not trusted drives always connected.

What is the disaster that could happen you’re referring to?

Auto mounting random USB sticks has never been wise. No telling what random malware they contain.

You shouldn’t just automount external drives. That’s a recipe for trouble.

What’s wrong with manually mounting them? Pretty sure the desktop environments also require you to push a button (eg, select the drive in file manager) to mount external USB drives.

Windows might have locked the drive, making it read-only (hybrid power off stuff) or you might just need to mount it with rw permissions.

How did you mount it?

I sometimes see it in the CLI when running apt update/upgrade. I’ve just tricked my mind to look past it.

PATH is a shell variable that defines where stuff can be executed from without writing their absolute path.

So the export PATH command just adds the scale stuff to the path.

They tend to use different theming engines each major version, so I don’t believe they are.

Gimp is likely still using gtk2, which means you need a theme that supports gtk2. That’s probably old and un-maintained, since gtk2 has been End-Of-Life for a while now. gimp 3.0 is approaching though.

I don’t see any errors, just warnings. And GTK is very verbose about warnings…

I’ve had a similar issue with most of the laptops I have owned. The battery just discharges slowly when the device is turned off.

I have no idea what causes it or if it can be fixed.

My guess is that most hits that scan is gonna catch is old enterprise networks, that has not been updated or maintained by security.

Sounds like you created a seperate partition for /var. Only way to change that is to redo your partitions or bind mount an external disk as /var.

journalctl lists PIDs, so it might have a corresponding executable name with it.
