Re: [Discussion] GRUB doesn't show on restart

Ok, I tested and "It" works both with and without apostrophes (thanks for the grammatical critique :roll: ) I am also assuming the "It" would reference the solution offered by both posters as they were both thanked in the same sentence and with the same "mention", and t...

Re: [Discussion] GRUB doesn't show on restart

@VPW23

As @mrmazda said, to disable the timer change your grub entry to

Code: Select all

GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1
I only re-post the solution as the original answer contains apostrophe's which might (untested) change the desired behaviour.

Re: [Testing - Trixie] Evolution 3.50.3-1 address book is read only

Sometimes I find that after removing caches and config files a reboot (or maybe logout - login) is required for the remnants to be discarded, this should result in data being cleared better.

This works for me creating images of 100x100 with starting (top left corner) point of x=300 y=300 with a 2 second delay between shots. Adjust the sleep value for preferred timing. for i in {1..5}; do scrsh3 100 100 300 300;sleep 2; done Obviously you would need to place the scrsh3 script in your $PA...

Re: [Software] CLI screenshot tool

galluzHalevi I revisited my original screen capture scripts and found they would not work with wayland (no surprise really) and did a little research and found that getting a user defined area of screen captured is not a viable option for wayland (at least not under Gnome) so I went back to my scri...

Re: QEMU/KVM For Starters

I find it easier to install nfs-common and connect to my NAS (or any nfs-server), but of course I already have that set-up so it makes sense in my situation.

Re: [Software] CLI screenshot tool

I have a script that I call for screenshots using xwd (with Xfce) but I don't know if that will work with wayland, I will try it out when I get the chance (in the middle of backups at moment) and post back.

Re: [Software] CLI screenshot tool

I use a default gnome installation and just press printscreen button (prtscn) which pops up a square which you can drag to the area to capture, files are saved (by default) in /home/<user>/Pictures/Screenshots/

Re: Audio Volume: No output or input devices found.

Find below my output for the same command, I seem to have more audio devices than you have so maybe a hardware fault? Or maybe the surface kernel has some magic that is not in the mainline kernel? Or maybe there is some driver/firmware that you can ascertain is missing by using my output? HTH System...

Re: Display manager "does not recognize" user name.

And once you are in your system you can check if you made a mistake with the line you un-commented, I just tested it and it works as expected, at a guess I would say you uncommented the wrong line which caused a syntax error in the file, the line you want to use is in the [Seat:*] section, go back a...

Shouldn't the package to be installed be this one?

although on my laptop (not Hp) I have this one instead

Code: Select all

xserver-xorg-input-libinput
which is working fine so might be worth checking.
