If it works on chromium I’d consider that even if it is a quirk on the bank website, chromium is handling it cleanly and allowing you to use the site. That’s something we probably want incorporated in Firefox. I’d encourage submitting the bug report to Mozilla, and don’t assume too much about what they can/cannot do!

I think the key part here is that it’s a guess on your part whether using Firefox is the cause. Do you get any specific error when using the website? Or does something just “not work”, such as you click a button and it does nothing?

Also, I’ve run into stuff like this before, and my best bet has been to be flexible about using other browsers to work around issues. I would suggest testing the banking website with Chromium (or even Chrome). If it works, file a bug with Mozilla (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/file-bug-report-or-feature-request-mozilla) and just use Chromium/Chrome for only that website until the bug is fixed.

This will allow you to still do business, while still participating in open source via a helpful bug report that could end up benefitting others as well.

Thank you!

What did you have to change for VRR? I’m also having an issue where I need to force the EDID and haven’t been able to get VRR

Looks like a whole bunch of conversation about this topic can be found here:

Take note this is an informal blog post, I somehow thought this was “official”… but it’s just sort of a rambling update on various items. Still good insider info

Archive.org is essential. I donate regularly, they are a key part of the infrastructure of the internet now…

So, basically shitposting poisons AI training. Good to know 👍

I used to use this, you can turn the audible alarm all the way off and just use the shaker!

If you haven’t I would join the Matrix space, really helps when there’s a gap in the docs!

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed and it has BTRFS and snapper (snapshot manager) set up by default, with all necessary system subvolumes already created. It’s been a great experience for gaming so far, and actually the best experience with NVIDIA drivers I’ve had! All you would need to do is create a separate BTRFS subvolume and snapper config for your games folder and you’d be good to go, without worrying about any other setup! No need to use EXT4 at all. Additionally, there is very detailed snapper documentation on the openSUSE website.

https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/archive/15.0/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.snapper.html#id-1.4.3.4.2.2

Additionally, you can get support from the community in the openSUSE Matrix Space: https://matrix.to/#/%23space:opensuse.org

Use the support channel (#support:opensuse.org) or the gaming channel (#gaming:opensuse.org)

Right… does it even make sense that installing all recommended packages is the default zypper behavior? Lyx for example will install a 2GB Tex distribution by default, which will conflict with any existing Tex install. Why on earth is that the default… If you are installing Lyx, you very likely at least understand that you need to choose a Tex distribution.

You can already write a for loop that handles whitespace in file names, just use quotes around the file name variable:

I use Lyx with a local Texlive install, and it works great (openSUSE tumbleweed)

Yeah I believe asdf is a kind of package/version manager, so probably similar. And yes when you install you will see the Proton-GE version as an additional Proton version you can apply in the game options, but it does not overwrite the already installed proton versions

I recommend installing it via asdf, which is described in the installation section of the github readme

Just to be sure, you should check whether SSHD is enabled: sudo systemctl status sshd.service If you never enabled it and it’s disabled+inactive, then no need to reinstall Tumbleweed per the current guidance. Also you can double check your version of xz to make sure it’s downgraded, the downgraded version for Tumbleweed should look like this:

sudo zypper search -vi xz
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

S  | Name | Type    | Version               | Arch   | Repository
---+------+---------+-----------------------+--------+------------------
i+ | xz   | package | 5.6.1.revertto5.4-3.2 | x86_64 | update-tumbleweed
    name: xz

Fairly simple explanation by arstechnica: “The malicious versions [of xz], researchers said, intentionally interfere with authentication performed by SSH, a commonly used protocol for connecting remotely to systems. SSH provides robust encryption to ensure that only authorized parties connect to a remote system. The backdoor is designed to allow a malicious actor to break the authentication and, from there, gain unauthorized access to the entire system. The backdoor works by injecting code during a key phase of the login process.”

Also from the article, you should check if your distro is offering a downgrade from the affected 5.6.x packages. Right now the exploit is not fully understood. For example, openSUSE recommends a full reinstall of Tumbleweed if an SSH server was enabled, just to mitigate risk.

Having BTRFS snapshots set up for root: 😀 Elbow on the keyboard issues this command before the sudo timeout: sudo rm -rf ./testdir/cd $HOME RIP home directory 😭 and still figuring out the best way to do snapshots of home without using timeline snapshots and using a ton of space…
