Re: Important Wayland related milestone on the horizon.
On the other hand, I know now I won't be tinkering with Fedora... :mrgreen: I was using RedHat when Fedora became a thing; I stuck with it through Fedora Core 6 I think. No interest in revisiting that distribution :) I guess I'll switch to Wayland when openbox no longer works; I did play with labwc...

Re: Directory file size change
I did the same thing with my ebooks directory - moved them to an ebooks2 directory. ebooks2 was at 4096 bytes until I rebooted the machine and then it read 12288 bytes, same as my original ebooks directory. My understanding is that ext4 doesn't truncate directory metadata unless you force the issue.

Re: Directory file size change
I'm guessing you have a lot of pictures :) Your filesystem reserves 4096 bytes for a directory's metadata. For *most* directories that's just fine but if the metadata is > 4096 bytes the filesystem will allocate more space for metadata. My e-books directory is also 12288 bytes but it has a couple hu...

Yeah it is, it's included in Bookworm's firmware-iwlwifi.

Re: [SID - Unstable] update stuck at resolving dependencies
IMO this is one of the the main differences between Unstable and Testing. Sid is a staging area, Testing is not. During a large transition like this packages will trickle into Unstable and this is when Sid will enthusiastically break your toys if you're not paying attention during upgrades. Two reco...

Re: [SID - Unstable] update stuck at resolving dependencies
Sid is in the middle of a big time_t transition. My own machines had > 40 packages held back this morning so I decided to skip upgrading until things calmed down a little bit.

My understanding is this is a known issue with the T480S fingerprint reader. There's a git repository here that appears to have the solution.

Re: Wired connection stops working after a while
I also use cmst and the toggle you're looking for is on the main screen under "Technologies". Does your Ethernet adapter show up there? If so, is "Powered" set to "on"?

Re: Wired connection stops working after a while
You shouldn't have to touch anything in /var for connman to work. Run connman settings (either connman-gtk or cmst, depending on what you have installe) and ensure the Ethernet card is enabled.

Re: [Discussion] How do you name your devices?
For me that would depend on whether the device is accessible from the internet. Mine are not, so I use wizard-server, wizard-tablet, wizard-laptop and wizard-desktop (yes, I have one of each). If I had internet-facing machines I'd be naming them differently, as IMO best practice is for the hostname ...

Re: Wired connection stops working after a while
If you're running connman you should *not* have an entry for your network card in /etc/network/interfaces. Suggest commenting out the eno1 section of the file and then reboot the machine. Does this resolve the issue?

Re: Sleuthing CPU/load/memory increases
I think the first thing you'd need is a baseline from a clean boot. My suggestion: Reboot the machine, give it like five minutes to settle down and then dump top's output to a text file like this: top -o %MEM > ~/top.txt This will sort applications by RAM use and stick the result in your home direct...
