VS code or in this case VS Codium crashes suddenly when I open a large project or repo.
Turns out, earlyOOM was killing it, since I didnt have swap, so memory was the only factor needed to trigger "out of memory".

Solution:
Enable swap, this guide could be of help.

If it continues to happen, you need to reduce the aggressiveness of earlyOOM or exclude the problematic app.

Hey. Starting relatively recently, when I wake from sleep, some windows (mostly the file explorer Gnome Files) are blurry as in the screenshot. Moving the window or passing the cursor over the blurry area often helps, but sometimes I need to close the window and re-open it.

Here are the sections of my various .nix files that look relevant. I'm worried I have a bad video card!

    nvidia.modesetting.enable = true;
    nvidia.powerManagement.enable = false;
    nvidia.open = false;
    nvidia.nvidiaSettings = true;

Below is what looks like the relevant part of my restore from suspend from dmesg. Let me know if I can provide anything else helpful!

I am using Bitwarden on my smartphone. I want to use it on CachyOS.

Bitwarden Officially supports Flatpak, Snap, Appimage, .deb, .rpm.

I don't like Flatpak because for every single update, I also have to update Gnome Locale x2, KDE Locale x2 (at least 2 GBs)

Appimage is fine but I have to manually update.

Then, I looked on CachyOS Repo. There is a Bitwarden. Probably built over Arch Extra repos ?

Usually, I just install from CachyOS repo. But, Since I am downloading Bitwarden ( password manager ), I am bit skeptical. Whether this is recommended?

Can anybody help me?

I was updating my CachyOS system. Copied the AUR diff and (still learning linux, so..) asked Claude if it can find anything malicious with the context of Arch AUR malware attack.

Package in question is librtmp0

Claude said librtmp0's Maintainer changed from "Maxime Gauduin" → "Damglador". And that I should watch out. It also said that something is fishy about version bump.

with the context of recent arch aur malware incident, check if the following are malicious.

So, I am seeking your help. Should I proceed with the update?

I installed some updates and after a restart the network manager thing in the taskbar said NetworkManager wasnt running so i tried to run it in terminal and it said i didnt have permission so i ran it with sudo and it worked. How do I get it to automatically start?

(I also posted this here: https://piefed.social/c/linuxquestions@lemmy.zip/p/2244268/networkmanager-on-kubuntu-doesn-t-run-on-startup)

UPDATE:
fixed with sudo apt install --reinstall network-manager

I do not wish for it to be magnified. I hit some combination of super, alt, Ctrl, shift, maybe z? I have checked like twenty Linux keyboard shortcut websites and checked my actual keyboard shortcuts on my computer to no avail.

CachyOS 7.1.3-2

Any linux wizards know why when my sound sources go to background and CPU is under heavy load the audio crackles?

apps tested: minecraft, vlc(flatpak), spotify(flatpak), other fltapaks
crackles on both bluetooth and minijack headphones,
disabling microphone, easyeffects, gpu screen recorder ( gsr-default_output) didn't help

I use blender to put the load on CPU but it also happens when compiling or gaming

I have increased stuff in cat /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf

theres no "disable during full screen" option in Night Light itself, brightness and gamma applet was a nice workaround for a while but stopped working last week, it increases gamma levels to 100% but doesn't disable the night light anymore; the gnome extension caffeine sounded perfect but after installing I cant open settings/config/manual, there's just a tray icon that doesn't seem to do anything.

any ideas?

So at the moment I know that an official unixporn server on discord does exist, but first I don't wanna use discord and second, they want me to verify myself via phone number before I'll be able to chat, and that's like a bit of BS. So what I'm actually looking for instead is preferably an xmpp room or an IRC chat Thanks to all of you in advance

I have a CachyOS computer at home and I really enjoy it, but I'm worried by the trend of Ubuntu and Fedora adding AI recently. I've seen the admins on the Forum admit that they DO NOT oppose AI. I'm a bit worried about the future and I think I would like to learn about options for switching to Arch.

If it's more trouble than it's worth then I acknowledge it would be preeeetttyyy eaaasy to just install Arch on a cleared off drive and move all my work over, I basically did exactly that when I left Windows, but the downside is I'm not sure how hard it will be to recreate my workflow without some of the CachyOS packages.

I'm intent on getting rid of Ubuntu since their embrace of AI, and would prefer to avoid any other distro based on Ubuntu, since that's just kicking the can down the road.

But a thorough search of the web for various versions of "Linux with no AI" only returns results that recommend AI infused distros and articles touting how great AI will be for Linux, or how to fix Linux using AI. 🤮

Can anyone recommend a distro that has proudly announced their refusal to ever consider adding #AIslop to their distro?

Hi,

I bought a Lenovo M910q (i5-6500T, 16Gib RAM, Intel Mesa graphics) to play with Proxmox, but I'm dying on the first level!

After installing Proxmox from Ventoy using either the default settings or the ones from someone's guide , I get kernel panics on the first boot. As a test, I've just installed Debian on it from Ventoy with the default settings, and it seems to work fine.

I ran the Processor, Memory, and SSD checks from the Intel BIOS without any flags.

Any guesses what I've done wrong here?

Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1// Logitech G433 with on-wire microphone

Yesterday my headset-mic just felt like not picking up sound properly anymore. I do not recall doing anything that could cause this, like updates etc. I can scream directly into my micorphone and nothing. Yet, when I tap on it it suddenly records sound perfectly?

I tried

• rebooting
• installing system updates
• reinstalling pipewire packages
• replugging my headset
• checking and increasing sound levels of the mic using wpctl wpctl get-volume 50 Volume: 10.00 wpctl set-volume 50 100 wpctl set-volume 50 10000

I am at my wits end here. Do you have any ideas how to solve this?

I have bind mounts configured in my /etc/fstab. The source (i.e. where the files physically exist) is on a removable USB drive.

Right now it works but I have to mount/unmount everything individually when I plug/unplug the drive. I would like to be able to have the bind mounts follow the state of of the USB drive automatically.

Is there a way?

Edit here is relevant section of fstab:

/dev/mapper/external-crypt	/mount/external		auto	nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=5	0 0
/mount/external/realfolder	/home/user/folder	none	bind,nofail	0 0

So when I run sudo mount "/mount/external" I want sudo mount /home/user/folder to be implied; likewise for umount.

I've spent hours on MX fluxbox, but wasn't able to make the brightness and the time adjustments permanent.

I boot it from my live USB stick by the way.

What do you think of this framing of linux distributions? Accurate? Horrible?

I simply opened the power shell on my windows computer and gave the command wsl --install.

When l typed in a command for kolourpaint, this came up.

I'm totally new on GitHub, and don't know how to make good use of it. How do l make use of this link https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/testing-your-ssh-connection?platform=windows ??

My purpose is to try out my SSH key.

I am working on windows 10 currently. I was wondering if MX Linux could be installed directly from online. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Perhaps I missed the setting, but I want blank username/password fields instead of selecting from available users if that makes any sense. On KDE Plasma if that matters.

Thank you!
