Sure, I could suspect it…but how can I try to troubleshoot it? Is there a way to see what blocks the desktop from locking the screen?

Thanks! This is what I’m getting here. If I understand this correctly, this is a list of POSSIBLE inhibitors…not which one was triggered last time blocking the actual suspension right?

Having a second thought about this, it looks like Screen Locker might be the culprit. But I’m not completely sure. I really could see the desktop wasn’t even locked after a whole night. So maybe it failed to trigger? How can I look at…what’s inhibiting the screen from locking, now? Just like suspension, it works when manually triggered with Meta key + L.

Thanks. This is the first time I hear about this program, but it looks like it’s indeed the one taking over the pw credentials. I tried unsetting the variables, and hopefully it will stop bugging after a reboot.

As already suggested, for portable media exFAT is the way to go. Might also need an additional package not immediately installed by default, but nothing a quick apt-get install or dnf install won’t sort out in a second.

Except for anything related to Gaza/Palestine/Israel.

Is there a guide to do this? That’s what I’m trying to figure out, what steps I’d need to do to clean it or even replace it.

Yup it does. Very sharp and usually much louder than the actual playback volume.

Thanks, i think I’ll get deoxit definitely, I’ve seen it recommended everywhere.

Regarding the dac…there is only one left. Phono and radio are taken. So only aux was left… That’s why I’m trying to go for something covering both. If not possible, could you recommend a good BT DAC?

I think it was a C13 generic socket in the rear, so any cable could connect. Really, the only thing giving trouble seemed to be the volume.

Thanks! I guess I can try to clean them first. The amp does turn on, and as long as I’m not changing the volume, it does play back correctly. If things continue to deteriorate, I’ll consider a fix.

She wasn’t very much loved in the south of Europe to begin with, after she crushed Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal with her austerity crackdown back in the day.

Back in the day, one of those computer magazines that included a CD full of demos, videos and other random stuff… It included some program that had a list of maybe hundred of games, for which i think it had… The cheat codes? I don’t remember. I remember it had a banger of a tracker/mod song. And more amazingly, it even played using the internal speaker, playing somehow real audio. I never again found that CD, nor that song :(

On the same week an European test found also major flaws on the MG side impact protection for toddlers on the rear seat, and door mechanism locking after impact, i think.

According to another thread, it’s turning out most of them were using tourist visas or 3 months visit visas. Not technically work visas. Still, this could have been sorted out with a notice letter and maybe a fine (to Hyundai, that is).

What phones are adviceable these days for a daily driver? Is there any of them where ALL of the hardware does actually work? As in, most of the ones I’ve seen in the past had major bugs blocking from using either the mobile network, the camera, the sensors or just about everything that wasn’t just the screen and touch input. I have a spare Pixel 7 and a Pinephone Pro (that I never got to work too reliably) I keep around for possible testing of stuff.

Lol…I just bought a more generic logitech cam. And I recently tested an insta360 Ace Pro2, and when hooked via USB it can act as a webcam. I use this one when traveling, so I could just put it on a tripod-selfie-stick combo next to the laptop. But good to know that one works too. I’m stuck with a Dell 2 in 1 that I thought wouldn’t have this issues…but it still does. As I bought second hand, might be harder to sell.

Yeah…I bought the Dell too. It also bothers me that the camera module is still not compatible. Even though they’re supposed to be intel-made.

It seems to be a refresh rate <-> FPS incompatibility. Video files at 24 or 24.97 etc don’t play great in 60Hz refresh rate. But still, VLC does something that makes it much smoother.

As i said, it is enabled. I tested it and it runs fine. But it jitters. Even with acceleration off, this computer is more than capable of playing video off of the cpu and not dropping a single frame.

Thanks I’ll try this.

EDIT: Seems Nobara might include these by default. Basically Nobara is a Fedora with a lot of gaming/multimedia/GPU tweaks to make it pretty gaming ready.
