Update: I tried to copy the themes to the themes folder (I had to run Nautilus as root to gain the permission to do this) the themes are showing up now, but they are on the wrong dropdown list (icons) and not a separate 4th field. I could not find a .themes folder, so I made one at root, but it doesn't do anything. Attempting to load any of these themes causes the system to immediately reach 100% CPU usage across all CPUs, so they aren't installed correctly. What do I have to do to make the custom theme field show up.
For reference, I got my themes from here: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/

Sagt mal wenn ich bei Bottels ein Windoof Programm installiert habe wie bekomm ich das hin, dass ich bei #linux_mint das Programm bei mir im Startmenü finde? Auf die 3 Punkte neben dem Programm hab ich schon geklickt & dort find ich nur was fürn Desktopsymbol & bei Steam hinzufügen. Letzteres hat mich etwas verwirrt aber okay. Jedenfalls tut keins der beiden was ich möchte bzw eigentlich tun die gar nichts zumindest ist mir nichts aufgefallen.Habt ihr da Lösungen? #did #linuxdesktop #linuxhelp
Seeking help with linux install.
I am trying to keep Debian installed on my pc but my MSI motherboard keeps removing the boot entry from NVRAM so it doesn't show up when I reboot. So i am forced to boot to windows so that the entry is repopulated on reboot. I heard it's because MSI motherboard removes any entries that are not in the default path (/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi). I tried manually creating this entry with bootctl (systemd-boot) and EFIbootmgr. But this still doesn't stop the boot entries from being removed. And once the boot to windows then reboot only the grub entry to Debian is left and not the systemd boot entry. I am trying to move it to the systemd-boot.
I want to move of windows eventually but I need the debian install to be consistent first.
What are the proper commands for bootctl and efimgr to set the correct bootloader so that it persists after each shutdown? I have the debian install on a sata SSD and windows is on the nvme drive.

THIS IS YOUR CALL
I am about to go live on a test stream from my linux laptop for the first time to check if we can make browser sources show up in OBS - because if we can't, the charity stream tomorrow is gonna be in a bit of trouble
EDIT: IT WORKS THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
J'aurais besoin de conseils pour configurer linux sur un macbook air 2017.
J'ai installé Linux Mint sur une machine d'occasion. C'est ma première fois 😅
Tout fonctionne bien, mais je voudrais pouvoir allumer l'ordinateur sans ouvrir le capot car il est destiné à servir de mediacenter sur un écran externe.
Quelle est la meilleure option pour y parvenir ? Sur macOS, il "suffisait" de configurer l'allumage quotidien à 6h du matin. Ainsi, lorsqu'on allumait la multiprise secteur pour la première fois de la journée, tout se mettait en route tout seul.
Le top serait que brancher l'ordi sur secteur provoque l'allumage.
Okay, I take that back. This might not be the solution?
The problem is this - the audio seems to freeze (as in, in pavucontrol the audio output bar holds at the level it was at, and doesn't resume 'til I switch devices on and off.)
I do ponder what would happen if I managed to split speakers and headphones into separate outputs (assuming I even can), because my gut says this is likely what's causing the issue. Of course, this is the same gut that seems remarkably picky about what food it can handle, so, y'know. Grain of salt.
I guess this is me asking for help from folks who might know/have dealt with this.
Does anyone know if there is a way in #KDE to adjust the color on multiple monitors?
I had to replace one my screens and the the new one has a slight by very noticeable orange tint.
Is there any way to adjust the way colors are displayed on either of the two monitors in KDE to make them match?
No one? Hmm...I guess people on the fedi are just not that good at #linux ...😁
I’m looking for a maintained and open source app like MS Access. It’s not that I need every feature and I don’t worry about what programming langue it might be based on. But it can’t be unmaintained or work poorly.
Any suggestions?
Resize root partition in Debian VM
Hello Linux friends,
Looking for some help today. Some dummy who won’t be named undersized the partition for his Debian VM at 32Gb. This was not enough space, as the VM is already out of storage. In Proxmox where the VM is hosted, I’ve already allocated extra space for this VM using Proxmox’s built in GUI tools. The problem is, I’m not sure how to properly extend the partition within the VM itself, using the terminal only, without breaking everything (something I obviously don’t want to do, lol).
I’ve done a bit of searching and people seem to be recommending tools like fdisk and resize2fs, both of which are not installed, and I’m afraid that I don’t have any available space to install them. I’m also a bit of a noob and some of the language for drives and partitioning just flies over my head.
Any tips on:
- Clearing a bit of space on a Debian VM (that’s mostly using Docker, no other programs/files running constantly)
- Resizing root partitions without too much headache
Would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, and have a beautiful and safe day!
I'm at a loss, need some #LinuxHelp here: I'm mounting my managed #Nextcloud via WebDAV and suddenly (it's always suddenly, right?) I cannot list the contents of the mounted directory anymore. Which leads to the weird situation shown in the screenshot (text in alt). I've tried setting up everything from scratch a few times before realising that it's just the listing that's not working.
OS: Pop 24.04 LTS
davfs2: 1.7.0-1

Hey, I'm looking for some #FediHelp! It's #linux related.
So I installed #ZorinOS on my FIL's aging HP Envy x360 2-in-1 laptop, and he's pretty happy with it. The install was smooth, we were able to set him up with some #FOSS software that fit his needs, and move over all of his old files. The OS experience is great and in that regard neither of us have any complaints there.
One issue we keep running into, however: when the laptop is asleep overnight, or sometimes if you just look away for about half an hour, the laptop suspends but doesn't wake up. The keyboard backlight is lit, but the screen is off and nothing will wake it up. We have to reboot it every time.
My old Clevo laptop (+ any variety of distros) did this a while back and the only thing that would (sometimes) fix it was to close the lid, wait a minute or two, and open it again. I was never able to diagnose it, and I think it's happening again here.
Things I've already done:
- Switch display server to X11 only
- Update GRUB params to use the system's acpi tables
- Disable BIOS safe boot
- Updated the firmware
The laptop doesn't have NVIDIA graphics (it's 100% Intel) so I'm not worried about that. My current strategy for making it work during the day is to just never let the screen sleep (he had that on his old laptop and seemed to like it).
Is there anything else I can do for when the laptop has been closed overnight?
I'm running into a linux problem that I can't figure out
it looks like both python3 and python3.13-dev are load bearing,
so I can't just uninstall one...
Aside from that I'm not sure what to do.
any help would be appreciated.
I'm having a lot of trouble googling a solution, are there any FM's I should RT?
behold the output of `sudo apt -f install`!

but none of the choices are installable:
- python3:amd64=3.13.7-1+b1 is not selected for install

```
it seems like `python3`(version `3.13.3-1`) depends on python3.13 (>=3.13.7-1~)
but `python3.13-dev` (version `3.13.11-1+noble1`) requires python3.13 (=3.13.11-1+noble1)

I'd like to thank everyone for the help, I have reinstalled the VM
We immediately turned off the computer and took out the USB Boot drive before going through with the installation, but when I tried to turn on the Win10 that I have, I see the Tuxedo logo and then this screen (below in picture)
Mein deutch is nicht ser ser gut, was sagt dies auf Englisch??
And is my Win10 drive recoverable?
Hilf mir bitte!!!!
So I was trying different Linux distros in live sessions, to eventually replace Win10
I wanted to check out TuxedoOS, but didn't realize there wasn't a live session. I am not yet ready to remove win10.
(See more in thread)
Many thanks if this can be boosted to the right people!!

Hey, #Linux people, what's wrong with my #Bottles? It's a #Flatpak ,and it's the only one that behaves this way on my #CachyOS with #IntelARC #B580 GPU. I don't even know what to look for. 'Graphical glitch bottles flatpak intel GPU' does not return anything helpful.
Reinstalling Bottles does nothing.
I want to be able to get to a specific open window without having to remember how many other windows I've been thru since the last time I used it, and without covering up other things I'm using. Is this possible in Linux Mint Cinnamon? Is there some other window manager or desktop environment that would give me that?
Major thanks to anyone who can help or advise. 🙏🏻 3/3
