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.

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...
