Unless your company's IT department specifically setup the drives on the local network to be accessible from other OS's then Windows, you won't be able to connect to them, without setting up Samba/CIFS.

As others have status, if you are allowed to use Linux as a company device, ask your IT department how to access the company stuff. If you are not really allowed and are just doing, you probably won't have access to much that is not a webapp.

General Fedora feedback: the discover update app feels lacking here. As a new user, I expect more of a description about what each application/service is as well as a clickable link to read more about the app and the update.

That's because Discover handles 3 types of updates.

  1. Applications from a "Store". These are the ones you are expecting with descriptions and such.
  2. Packages from the repository of the distro. These are the ones you have listed. They are "technical" package names, not limited to applications. Can also be libraries, dependencies and system stuff.
  3. Firmware. If you have enabled the Linux Firmware option in Discover, you will get presented with special firmware packages.

I simply just use the ppd, but my laptop is low power no dgpu anyway.

Pretty sure Vivaldi has all of that. And they where on Linux from the start.

Best you can do for the battery is turning down the screen brightness to the lowest setting where you can still see what's on the screen. Mine is ususally at 20-30% brightness.

Everything still needs to be set in configuration.yaml. right? I see nothing that inidcates that it's possible to set up from the UI yet.

It is an Intel NIC, but I don't run debian.

Hm. The PSU is the one delivered with the system. And the system is rated to handle this and more. I really hope it's not a bad PSU.

I actually have an issue that is similar. My server goes unresponsive/freezes after N hours of uptime. N is a variable, so far meassured between 6 and 72 hours. I tried working around it, by auto-rebooting the server each night. But it still sometimes happen before the 24 hour mark.

Nothing in logs, so my best option is to auto-reboot at this time. 😆

I’m trying to be open to this idea of yours, but I don’t understand why one would use AI tools instead of simply not working on the project and taking a break.

Maybe they feel obligated to continue, because it became such a popular project. They likely don't want to let people down by dropping the project entirely.

AI tools actively create worse code that will make future work harder.

Sure, but they are an experienced developer that reviews the code before it gets committed (as I understood it).

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Just as in almost all other cross-posts, someone missing the point.

And what point is that?

That they used AI for coding is not great, but responding by saying they simply won’t declare what is AI and what is not, is just childish.

I think all the backlash they are facing is 99% directed at their tone-deaf response.

This was also my point. Hiding what was AI made, just because people didn't like it, is not the way to do it.

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 1 points 6 days ago (8 children)

If people don't like that project maintainers start using AI tools to develop the project, they should start contrinuting themselves.

The main reason the Lutris maintainer started using it, was because of depression, stress and burnout. All valid reasons, in my book, to start using such tools.

Hiding the commits as an emotional reaction to the negative feedback he got for it, is another thing. It should be transparent. Trust has been broken because of this part.

 

Four years since the launch of the Raspberry Pi 4, the Raspberry Pi 5 has arrived with a performance boost and house silicon that adds support for PCIe 2.0.

 

FOSDEM is a conference where thousands of open source developers meet and learn.

Location is as always in Bruxelles, Belgium, Europe, Earth.

Any of you going this year?

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.

 

My work place is a Microsoft shop through and through, so all their stuff is based in Azure, Active Directory, Outlook, O365 and Citrix. And they provide my with a Windows laptop for work, which is really great.

The only issue I have with it, is the Windows part. So I took it upon myself to see if I can use a Linux install for work in a Windows environment. So I took my already installed private Linux laptop to work and it seemed to be going alright, expect that it's an old laptop at this point, so the GPU was not good enough to run the screens and the Bluetooth version was to old for the peripherals.

So this weekend I took the plunge. I cloned the Windows drive with CloneZilla (in case of emergency, you know) and installed Arch Linux on my work laptop as the only OS.

And so far, everything has worked. Except for 1 small detail that I totally forgot about! Printing. Specifically label printing, as we do ship some stuff around the country. The printer in question is a Zebra label printer G420-something and is set up on the internet Windows network at work.

I've been at work all day and I haven't been able to setup this printer at all.

This is mostly a rant and acknowledgement that running Linux in a Windows work environment is possible, but it's also a small whimper for help to see if anyone has managed to be able to connect to a network Windows printer.

I've setup a default Samba and Avahi system, but it won't "probe" for the printer. I don't know the exact name/hostname/IP of the printer either.

I posted the other day that you can clean up your object storage from CSAM using my AI-based tool. Many people expressed the wish to use it on their local file storage-based pict-rs. So I've just extended its functionality to allow exactly that.

The new lemmy_safety_local_storage.py will go through your pict-rs volume in the filesystem and scan each image for CSAM, and delete it. The requirements are

  • A linux account with read-write access to the volume files
  • A private key authentication for that account

As my main instance is using object storage, my testing is limited to my dev instance, and there it all looks OK to me. But do run it with --dry_run if you're worried. You can delete lemmy_safety.db and rerun to enforce the delete after (method to utilize the --dry_run results coming soon)

PS: if you were using the object storage cleanup, that script has been renamed to lemmy_safety_object_storage.py

 

It really has...
