Flatpak Help Needed (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by UNY0N@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hi all!

I'm trying to use a local LLM to help me write in an Obsidian.md vault. The local LLM is running through a flatpak called GTP4ALL, which states that it can expose the model through an OpenAI server. The obsidian.md plugin can't reach the LLM on the specified port, so I'm wondering if the flatpak settings need to be changed to allow this.

(This is all on bazzite, so the obsidian program is a flatpak too)

Anyone have an idea where to start?

I'm setting up a backup if an external hard drive to my pcloud, and I have come across the following issue. I need the help of this awesome community.

I used to run arch on my laptop, and I set up a backup of a usb hard drive to my pcloud storage. This was extremely convenient, because all I had to do was occasionally connect the drive, start the backup service, and that's it. Any changes to the drive would automatically be backed up in the cloud.

Now I've switched to bazzite,and the pcloud doesn't recognize the external drive as the same device anymore because the path has changed. It treats the drive as a part of the "new" laptop.

Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this? I don't mind starting from scratch again, I just want to find a way to avoid this in the future.

Note: I understand that I could just get a raspberry pi or something similar to act as a new dedicated "pcloud backup device" or something like that. I'm looking first for a solution that would work in the case of a new linux PC veing used in the future to do this same job and not loose the connection.

Edit: I think it would be enough to change the name of the PC, either just for the (pcloud) flatpak or the whole PC.

This certainly isn't of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.

Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:

  1. download the game via steam.
  2. switch it to use proton
  3. switch it back to linux version
  4. use the terminal to make the entire game folder read-only, so that steam couldn't touch the game anymore and screw it up.
  5. add the exicutable to PATH
  6. start the game via terminal

If any one of those step was left out, it didn't work. I'm no linux expert, so I didn't have the skills to actuality find the real problem.

That's the price of privacy. Google has that traffic data because there are so many drivers with thier app installed. If you are OK with a giant corporation monitoring your every move, then of course that convenience is a good reason to use thier services.

Data is the new oil.

I'm starting to think this was a pre-planned bait and switch. Let MAGA and the Russian trolls waste thier energy and money going after Biden, painting him as old and senile. Then Kamala comes in and goes all scorched-earth on Trump.

Whether it was planned or not is not all that important though, the result is a thing of beauty.

I need some help here from the experts.

Some background below, but here's the question:

Can I run KDE and Gnome on bazzite? How can I install and manage multiple images? I feel silly asking this, but I'm just not finding the correct documentation.

Background:

I have been running KDE desktop Bazzite on my PC for a while now, and I'm loving the robust and easy system (not to mention the ease of gaming). But I have found that one program just doesn't work correctly, and I had a game (Stellaris) freeze my system several times.

I ended up installing EndeavorOS on an older PC to experiment, and found out that the program in question (openAndroidInstaller) requires a Gnome portal to access my hardware. (Long live the Terminal!) Now I suspect that perhaps the game freeze wouldn't happen with Gnome either. So I want to have both on bazzite, but can't figure it out.

I speak German and I can confirm, top-tier stuff.

The point is that we were able to detect the planet at all. That's interesting enough in itself, and at no point is the article insinuating anything spectacular about the planet itself.

I don't think any of the behaviors shown are real.

The German language is like legos. You can just slap words together to make new ones.

Like glove. It's Handschuh in German, which id hand-shoe. The language is full of words like this.

Well the dodos seem to think that "the time" is a relic of some sort that one can possess. But you understood that.

I don't think there's anything I can explain that will make it funny for you. I suppose it's a matter of taste.

It's not about support. It's not about 100% agreement with Biden's policies. It's about using your vote as a tactical choice to influece the government as best you can.

Each US citizen has three options: vote for Trump, vote for Biden, or don't vote. For me it's clear what the only viable choice is.

By all means protest. By all means vote undecided in the primary. Of course we should use other means to put pressure on someone like Biden to change his policies. But at the end of the day he's playing the tactical game too. And so is Israel, btw. They know that the US is weakened by the election cycle, that Biden's hands are tied right now by the need to retain centrist votes.

It's a practical decision, that should be made not based on an ideal world, but based on the real world in which we currently live and the options we actually have.

Kudos on putting in the work. It's comments like this that show why the fediverse is better that the rest.
