Hi, I want to use openntpd to sync my clock I’m using ntpd -ds I see in my firewall that the dns resolution is working, and I get a server IP from the pool 👍 but anyhow I get ntp engine ready no reply received in time, skipping initial time setting no reply from x.x.x.x received in time, next query 300s Weird my nftable config file should allow it: # extract chain OUT { type filter hook output priority 0; policy drop; udp dport 123 accept } chain IN { type filter hook input priority 0; policy drop; ct state established, related accept } Any ideas, or which lemmy community to cross-post ? Thanks.

I’m planning to switch from Manjaro to pure Arch, but I really like the easy setup Manjaro provides. Are there any guides, wikis, or personal tips to replicate that setup on a fresh Arch install? Looking for something that covers the essential packages, configurations, and tweaks to get a similar out‑of‑the‑box feel. Thanks in advance!

I read on PC, how can I save power and make PC last longer by under powering the PC ? On Windows I put max CPU state to 1%, PCIe and WIreless Power to power saving mode. Also related question, How to disallow software from inhibiting power management?

I have installed noto-fonts-cjk but the Linux kernel terminal won’t display Japanese/Chinese characters. Environment: ThinkPad T480 Arch Linux Edit: I managed to track down this page wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console and realize that I need to setfont. Now I just need to find which one in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts can display Japanese, I suppose. Edit2: looked through …github.io/linux-console-fonts-screenshots/ to no avail. Edit3: this thread askubuntu.com/…/how-do-i-display-chinese-japanese… hints at this not being a possibility, because - paraphrased - the framebuffer can’t hold 2000 characters, which is what I would like it to be able to display. Edit4: as pointed out in the above askubuntu thread, and as @mina86@lemmy.wtf secondarily recommends, fbterm seems to be the solution: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fbterm Edit5: kmscon also seems to be able to display CJK: wiki.archlinux.org/title/KMSCON Marking as SOLVED, but I have not yet tried replacing the Linux kernel terminal. That’ll have to wait until next weekend.

Hey there folx, I’m getting ready to go back to school and I was curious of any distro that have good pen support. The basic use see is likely just reading studies and being able to highlight in the PDF. I’m looking at either a new framework12 or trying to find a surface to meet these needs. Likely won’t be until next year I’m in school so I have time to tinker and troubleshoot.

Inkscape downgraded to system version and refuses to launch the flatapak. I’ve tried anything , fixed updates , upgraded the shit out of it (my desktop is fire :p) . I downloaded 3 different app managers , extensions , even installed it from the terminal and tried to run it. I give up thinking to format and reinstall FEDORA . It all started 2 days ago by disabling system fonts and reinstalling them after messing up my whole system . Also playing with the bleach app :p At my last attempt a notification said that this version won’t run in my laptop because my screen is too big -_-

for those who dont know. in the piracy communties there are new cracks for denuvo that use hypervisor. they often crack it day one now. so i suspect denuvo will become a hypervisor itself to stop piracy,as a result it will need windows driver that proton wont be able to translate. thus making any denuvo game with these new protections not run on linux. what do you think?

I set up my very first #linux #server today! Based on #debian #trixie , it gave me a bit of a headache, but the moment all has been sorted out and the remote access worked like a charm (that itself wasn't a problem, but to log into #ssh after assigning a static IP address was. I'll try to setup #jellyfin and see how it goes :) But at the moment, even Neo has nothing on me, lol

Okay you are ready to take a stand for freedom! You are going to use an OS that isn’t going to bend the knee and comply with age verification laws. I solute you, comrade! Here are the likely consequences of your choice: The Feds aren’t coming after you. You aren’t going to be out on a watch list. What will likely happen is that if you try to log into your Facebook account you will get a message that says “Your Operating System is not currently supported. Your user experience will be limited to Groups labeled “Everyone”.” That’s basically it. Your personal user experience will be limited to “kid friendly” areas of the Internet. (Same with apps and games.) That’s the real driver of these laws. Facebook and other app producers know that the days where they can just shrug off child predators using their products is coming to and end. Regardless of your opinion on age verification is as a solution, child predators are a real world problem and it’s not just the parents fault. The platforms have some responsibility too. Which is exactly what Facebook and the others specifically don’t want -responsibility for their own platforms. That’s why they are pushing for these laws that off load their responsibility onto the OS makers. Then they can just say “Oh, we don’t have any responsibility for this child being abused in our platform. We asked the OS what the user’s age was and the OS reported 18+. What else could we have done?” So, that’s the consequence if you choose to use an OS that refuses to comply. You’ll just be relegated to the kid friendly version of website, games, and applications. (On the other hand, if your OS chooses to falsely report to a website or an app an age for a child that is abused, then the OS should also be held responsible. But at that point you can go ahead and blame the parents too for letting their child use an OS that isn’t safe for them to use.)

Does this even make sense to you? I acknowledge I am not an experienced Linux user yet, but this seems most weird to me; why would KDE Plasma offer me to update GNOME? For context, I am using Debian 13 Stable, which I installed just with KDE Plasma - so I’m not running more than one DE, nor did I install more than this.

Has anyone tried this? I’m looking to switch to Void and this looks peachy. Has everything I want from a distro: as barebones as possible, so I can customize it myself.

I’m trying to connect my Linux laptop to the network at my workplace so I can share files with colleagues, but it’s not clear how to do it. I can plug in the Ethernet cable and get a connection to public internet but cannot see any storage drives on the local network. What should I do? Debian 13, GNOME 43.

i have only one internal ssd and no external drives are connected
