Edit: SOLVED. It turns out, I had uninstalled the system package com.android.inputdevices , which is used to locate available keyboard layouts.

This is on a Samsung Galaxy S23 using Heliboard and Simeji as software keyboards. Samsung’s keyboard is uninstalled. On my Galaxy Tab A9+ with the exact same configuration, I am able to set the default keyboard layout…

Any ideas?

I've installed kolourpaint on my windows 10 from wsl, but it's not opening up on my screen. What to do ?

My Tor bridge has been up and running for 40 days and it reports on average speeds at around 8 MiB/s while I'm on a 1 Gbps connection and while some bridges report up to 50 MiB/s: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/type:bridge%20running:true%20.

Why is this?

Meanwhile, a few theories:

1. My ISP limit the connection? Although Tor bridges are supposed to be obfuscated - that being the whole point of having them...

2. My bridge is geographically far away from the nearest nodes/relays?

3. My bridge hasn't been active for a sufficient amount of time for it to report higher speeds?

• When I put in the verification code & press Enter, it just sends me another verification code.
• When I put in the verification code & click "Verify Email", it does absolutely nothing.

Tried in Zen Browser (Firefox) and Helium (Chromium), same result.

In case somebody else is struggling to download IronFox for Android, I have extracted the universal apk, version 151.0.2.1, from my current install and uploaded it to buzzheavier. For me, neither Obtainium, F-Droid or direct download worked from their repos.

I'll leave it up for a week or so. Do verify integrity and authenticity as per: https://ironfoxoss.org/download/ , since I have no idea how secure buzzheavier is. I just use it as a simple anonymous file sharing platform.

Got this UPS on eBay as a "working unit" long story short it was a scam.

Now the UPS passes power to the normal AC power strip it has. However the battery + AC power outlets don't pass voltage.

I also tested the LCD desplay and its getting a VERY low voltage

Now I am thinking this has something to do with it having no batteries, but that shouldn't be the case, how would it charge if they were to run out of power? Has anybody here had this issue with there UPS?

Hi folks

I messed up my VPS by upgrading to newer Ubuntu version and something went wrong along the way and I basically lost access to CPanel. I tried a few things but i think its far gone.

I thought the best idea now would be to back up all the WordPress websites I have on the server (including database), export them, rebuild the VPS and import back the website.

Could you point me towards how to do it best and safest way?

Many thanks

I've tried replacing the fans but the problem is still there, it sounds like a fan rubbing and it gets worse if the laptop gets flexed in some way.

I took it apart to look for the issue, but I can't see anything, when it is open and upside down it runs quiet, unless you press certain places to make it flex around the fan, which is not unexpected. But I can't see anything out of place or see what can be fixed.

The laptop is a Dell XPS 15

EDIT3: this is NOT an overclock! Manually setting a scaling governor does not forcibly increase the intended frequency range of the CPU clock! Setting the scaling governor has more to do with performance management. In my case, setting it to “performance”, it simply forces the cpu to always run at the maximum frequency as designed by the manufacturer. Further reading here and here. Thank you @nocteb@feddit.org for the reminder!

EDIT2: the tablet is rooted with Magisk ( https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html ) and Termux is running with superuser privileges granted through Magisk. The below command was issued after su - ing into a root shell. "performance" was echo ed into all available /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/.../scaling_governors, meaning, there are several subdirectories called policy[0...] in which the scaling_governor files reside.

EDIT: echo ing “performance” to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor seems to have maxed out the cpu clockspeed! Now the tablet is snappy as hell! It’ll be interesting to see how battery drain and heat are affected by this. Thank you @tal@lemmy.today !

Say, by sending some value to something inside /sys/.../cpu or the likes. I have already aggressively debloated the tablet, but I like to experiment and I am not afraid to destroy the tablet since I bought it for 150 bucks at sale. Or pehaps there is some Magisk module that can do this?

**EDIT: turns out i had a USB splitter plugged into my power splitter. so no power from PSU. **

I recently repaired my PC. I had to replace:

PSU with new

Motherboard with used

1 RAM stick RMA'd

CPU with new

I'm still having 2 lingering issues. The **USB controller not enough resources **message keeps coming on as well as intermittent operation with my front USB ports. My motherboard ports seem to be working just fine, it's everything on the front and in my expansion docks that are having issues. I also cannot see my HDD's - they're not being detected. I have 3 SDD's all working just fine but my 3 HDD's are not there. I have checked the living hell out of the cables.

I'm considering replacing the used motherboard with my old one and seeing if that fixes these 2 lingering issues.

Any thoughts?

EDIT/SOLVED: The culprit turned out to be a faulty offbrand 5V 3A DC power adapter. I tried another adapter - incidentally, one that I use to charge my smartphone - and the hissing sound was gone. My other router - also a Raspberry Pi 4B - uses the same power adapter as the one that started malfunctioning/hissing was using, but it is quiet and operates normally. At the very least I draw the following three conclusions:

1. 5V 3A is enough to run a Raspberry Pi 4B as a router with constant heavy TX/RX of at least a couple of terabytes per day.

2. I should be prepared for the other offbrand power adapter - namely the one that came with the OkDo bundle - to fail within a year or so.

3. There are really nice people here that give quick and elaborate responses! Thank you all! 🩵

The linked file is a recording of a hissing sound that my Raspberry Pi 4 started to make sometime during the last 24 hours. Another symptom is that the power on and CPU activity LEDs are out. It is not running hot. It doesn't have an internal fan. It is running OpenWRT. It has been pumping Linux ISOs in and out non stop for about four months.

I have tried cleaning it by dedusting it. I have also tried rebooting it. While rebooting, it squeals like a mouse, like it was suffering but the LEDs function properly. As soon as it loads user space though and resume routing, they turn off and the hissing sound continues.

Here are some system logs with severities warning and error . As you can see, the logs are from the 15th and I don't think any of them pertain to the hissing sound and/or the LEDs.

Judging by the squealing during reboot, I believe it to be either the CPU or memory, although I have never hears memory make sound, while CPUs, I have.

Hello,

Last week-end, someone came to me with a peculiar issue: their Windows account was linked to a Microsoft account that somehow no longer exists, preventing them from logging in. From then, the solution appeared simple: transform the account into a local one.

Unfortunately, all the resources I found online presumes that you are logged into the account you want to unlink, which wasn't possible. And unfortunately, you can't unlink said account from an Administrator account either.

Since the computer was brand new and barely touched, I ended up enabling the Administrator account, creating a new local account and deleting the problematic account.

My question is: if the situation was to happen again, but I cannot delete spare to lose data on the locked account, what should I do?

SOLVED: locking the screen put tethering in battery saving mode by default, which is totally insane. Anyway, modified the setting and now it works!

I am tethering my mobile connection from my Galaxy S23 to my Tab A9+. The A9+ looses its internet connection periodically, until I restart the hotspot on the S23.

I'm unable to figure out how to configure danneskjold onto my deltachat app. QR codes are too much for me to scan and use.

System sat on a shelf for about 10 years (running) and the feet melted. I need to remove the residue from a wood shelf, a cotton shirt, and the metal case. A putty knife and paper towels have been helpful, but there is still residue.

Hello!

TLDR: monitor started showing lines in the top photo, now it remains completely black except for a few pixels at the top. Can it be repaired, or do I have to buy a new one?

On Tuesday, my monitor (ASUS VA24EHE, 4.5 years old) started showing the lines that you can see in the top photo. Even though the lower 3/4 of the screen looked normal, they were frozen. After a couple of minutes, they went away and didn't come back. Everything worked as usual.

On Wednesday, it "broke" almost completely. There is a slim bit of screen visible at the very top (10-20 pixels), everything else is black. The bottom photo kinda shows that area. I took the monitor off the monitor arm to use my secondary as new primary, and after a few hours, I could magically use it again, just like on Tuesday.

Today, it remained completely unusable all day long.

What I already tried:

• a different cable (still the same issues -> it's not the cable)
• a different computer / my laptop (still the same issues -> it's not my GPU)

That makes me think it's the display itself that's the issue. It's most likely not a broken HDMI input, I think, because the same issues occur when I turn it on without any video cables attached. The bottom photo would usually show the ASUS logo, but it's completely black except for the top bit. I don't have DVI or VGA cables, nor does my computer have these outputs to test the monitor's other inputs.

I've looked online and managed to find people with similar issues, but I don't know if it's exactly the same or something slightly different. Most of them were "diagnosed" with a broken display. What I'm most interested in is whether you think this can be repaired because I like this monitor. I'd also be interested in possible causes of this damage.

I know it's hard to diagnose stuff like this with just a photo, but maybe that photo is a dead give-away that it's broken?

I'd appreciate any help before I lug it to a repair shop just to be disappointed. Even if the answer is "definitely dead, buy a new one". If you need any more info, just let me know. Thank you! And sorry for the terrible photos.

Can somebody please guide me how to go about activating my delta chat once again ??

From my laptop at home, I can access websites from Brave but not from Firefox or Mullvad Browser. I use Mullvad VPN but I am not split tunneling.

I used to upload and download my photos fine from my samsung mobile phone. This is being showed to me since the past 5 days all of a sudden.

Is it really a problem of my phone ??

The problem that l've been facing with @ente continues to persist. Sometimes Mastodon is better than email.

I was having a great time with #ente uploading photos from my Samsung galaxy phone, when one fine day, the website refused to open on my browser. And the problem has been persistent since. I've been writing to the support team frantically. I'm yet to get some productive reply.

Meanwhile, someone suggested me to download the app as that would give me a greater experience. Frankly speaking, l need to keep my phone in a usable condition and not make it a piece of an exhibition. So, l simply cannot install another app on my device.

Any suggestion anybody ??

@techsupport

1. Is it worth it to buy server MOBOs and employ one, then two or more CPUs? Does KDEnlive or other Linux apps make use of multiple CPUs? Do I need to buy i7-i9 CPUs from the start, or a couple of i5 is okay? Where is the golden middle there?
2. What about double vCards? Can any software use these dupletes or is it more beneficial to just buy the top single vcard? Do I need to purchase some compatible vcards for that?
3. If you use KDEnlive on AMD, what are lifehacks to boost it's performance? What do you use for preview, render, proxy clips, do you use another hard drive for cache, etc? What options do you choose for preview and render?
4. Have you tried VFX software like Natron (native), emulated Resolume, Nuke or Houdini via Proton or Wine, and how it went? What suffixes to use there?

My specific application is stage plays and performances by artists that I support with dozens of clips and effects played in the background. Thing is, now the base for those are mostly gifs and vids I downloaded somewhere, with some effects I added to them, rarely something I did myself from the blank.

I want to up my game by generating complex footages myself from the ground up, and for that I need a budget beefy PC I'd build on my own pocket budget. If it's possible, I would want to have a scheduled plan to grow it overtime from a half-capable initial workstation to the end game machine, while being able to work from the very start tp finish of said upgrade.

And there I need lemmy folks to help me with their knowledge if they tried that and have some suggestions.

To be transparent and honest: I'm a russian guy, currently still there, who never served and never used my skills to help promote war efforts or service, and never planned to. I want to build my skills and leave the fuck out once I figure out the situation with my gradually degrading elders I'm a caretaker of and EU immigration policies (as I'm poor). I'm paid leaves and marbles, I mean rubles, so my budget and availiability of hardware is very limited, but I'm ready to build the workstation for VFX over two or three years if it would enable me to start to work from some basic investment right now, and that I can then upgdrade it further.

I was updating my GPU drivers and came across a strange error I had never seen before saying the driver isn't signed. I ran sigverif and it shows this:

Is it just because my Win 11 install is not up to date?

I am just learning arrays and I am experimenting. This one simply won't work. I am trying to have the user define (1) how many elements an int array can hold and (2) what the value of each elements is. The program now outputs random integers. Maybe this isn't even possible, but I'm a complete beginner just playing around for the fun of it. XD

#include <stdio.h>  

int main(void) {  

int scope,elementnr,i,elementvalue,j;  
scope = elementnr = i = elementvalue = j = 0;  
int array[j];  

printf("How many elements should your ARRAY hold: ");  
scanf("%d", &scope);  
getchar();  

for (i = 0; i < scope; ++elementnr, ++i) {  
printf("Enter the value of element number %d: ", elementnr + 1);  
scanf("%d", &elementvalue);  
getchar;  
j = elementvalue;  
}  

printf("You have created an ARRAY that holds %d elements and you have assigned the following values:\n", scope);  

for (i = 0; i < scope; ++i) printf("%d\n",array[j]);  
}  

I am installing Artix Linux after three years of Arch goodness. The supported init systems are openrc, runit, s6 and dinit. I have no idea which one to choose or not to choose. Please advise! :D

I am comfortable with troubleshooting on my own, reading manuals, tweaking configs and I know a little C. In case this helps you advise me. :)

I understand that openrc is well documented over at Gentoo, but other than that, I only have experience with systemd.

Goal: a program that takes a char as input and outputs which char has been inputted and the humber of line(s). The below code makes the program output the inputted char twice: once - I assume - as a result of how getchar() works and once as a result of printf(). Is there any way to do this more elegantly, as in, not displaying the inputted char twice? If possible, keep to while, without suggesting for.

PS: the repetition of getchar() is just my ugly way of removing the trailing '\n'.

#include <stdio.h>  

int main(void)  
{  
        int c, nl;  
        c = 0;  
        nl = 0;  

        while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {  
                getchar();  
                printf("%c, %d\n", c, nl);  
                ++nl;  
        }  
}
