The terminal would benefit from a monospace font.

Artix Cinnamon running fast.

I like the subtlety of the wallpaper.

Applications & Software / Re: Imlib2

I got this back from the imlib2 maintainer. I have no idea how to fix this though from the cpan module

Hello,

imlib2-config was removed in imlib2 version 1.7.5 from 2021. imlib2 is now at version 1.12.4. Please use pkg-config instead.

The "can't find loaders" problem you see may happen if the perl module dlopens libImlib2.so with RTLD_LOCAL instead of RTLD_GLOBAL.
A change was introduced in imlib2 version 1.12.4 that requires libImlib2.so to be loaded with RTLD_GLOBAL.

I am not sure how I would affect this though.

Off-Topic / Re: Remove USB storage like a caveman

Last post by mrbrklyn - 30 March 2025, 12:15:40

The only thing you do, aside from potentially damaging the drive, is confuse the proc information that feeds mount. Eventually it will clear out the dead device from its table. The new fangled run/media mechanism should sense the removal but if you mount by hand, like I do, it might be less happy.

sync is your friend, BTW

System / Re: connman-gtk is not cycling IP addresses.

Last post by mrbrklyn - 30 March 2025, 12:10:49

In general you do not WANT gtk-connam to change the ip address to a system on a wifi network. It is leased and convient to hot have systems swapping IP addresses on the local wifi network allthough static IPs assinged to mac addresses in DHCP is a better solution to that.

It is not a wifi issue, it is a dhcp behavior. Change your mac address?

OpenRC / Re: I can't shutdown or reboot my PC.

Last post by mrbrklyn - 30 March 2025, 12:06:12

I had an experience where it didn't want to shutdown the first time yesterday with 'shutdown'

This was after a kernel upgrade. After running it a few times, it finally took. I suspect it is a hardware issue. I'm not opposed to pulling the dam plug when it doesn't want to do what I say

or kill -9 1

I always used the above and am not even sure where the plain "reboot", "poweroff", etc. commands come from. I thought that was a systemd thing even?

"reboot", "poweroff" etc are parts of a proper init system. So is "shutdown".

I really have no idea what to do here, and I don't like shutting down by holding the power button because of the filesystem risks that come with that. Thanks for any help!

Check dmesg and logs for any errors when you try to reboot. Check for any halting processes.

Does a good old

Code: [Select]

# shutdown -h now // "poweroff"
# shutdown -r now // "reboot"

work?

I don't know the answer. But in the meantime you can use ctrl-alt-delete to do a safe reboot and then use the power button once the computer exits Linux.
From within X, or wayland I guess, switch tty (ctrl-alt-f2) then ctrl-alt-delete.
Also learn about and enable Magic SysRq key and how to exit cleanly with REISUB. Useful if the computer hangs.
