In Arch Linux (and Arch-based distros like EndeavourOS), it’s easy to add a network printer if you already know its address. Still, network printer discovery does not work out of the box as it happens on other distributions like Fedora or Ubuntu. The procedure to enable network printer discovery is, of course, documented in the […]
I have always liked Amarok, the (initially) default KDE media player. It’s very feature-rich, nothing compared to Elisa. Moreover, it has two crucial features that I haven’t found in any other players: it saves statistics (play count and stars) directly into the music file it synchronizes statistics with iPod Unfortunately, while still maintained, you won’t […]
I have already blogged about EndeavourOS, which I use most of the time on all my computers (desktops and laptops). Since EndeavourOS, based on Arch, is a rolling release, I update it almost daily and don’t need to install it from scratch when a new release comes out, like Cassini, released a few days ago. […]
EndeavourOS is an Arch-based Linux distro, so the technique for enabling hibernation for an Arch-based distro should work out of the box. That was true until the new ISO released this December, “Cassini”, where they switched from “mkinitcpio” to “dracut”. Now, a few things must be adapted to make hibernation work in EndeavourOS, and the […]
In this post, I’d like to share my thoughts and the solution I adopted to circumvent the terrible incident that happened a few days ago with grub in Linux Arch. The bug affected all Arch-based distributions (not Manjaro, which is not really Arch-based, but for sure EndeavourOS and Arch itself). You can find the details […]
I have already blogged about EndeavourOS, which I use most of the time on a few laptops. Since EndeavourOS, based on Arch, is a rolling release, I update it almost daily and don’t need to install it from scratch when a new release comes out, like Artemis, which was released a few days ago. However, […]
I had already posted about enabling hibernation in Linux, particularly in Ubuntu. Thanks to the script hibernator, the procedure is much more straightforward in Arch-based distros (including Manjaro and EndeavourOS). First of all, make sure you first install the package update-grub. The package hibernator is available from AUR, but currently, there’s a problem with the […]
After the recent release of KDE Plasma 5.25, this version landed a few days ago in Arch-based distros like EndeavourOS (the one I’m writing from). Although I’m mostly a GNOME user, I also have a few distributions installed where I’m using KDE Plasma. The new features that impressed me most are related to eye candies […]
It looks like KDE Plasma is getting usable with Wayland! This is my current testing environment for this blog post: Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0 Qt Version: 5.15.4 Kernel Version: 5.15.41-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15,3 GiB of RAM […]
Now that Gnome 42 has been released and available in most Linux distributions, I started experiencing problems with the Dropbox icon in the system tray. First of all, I have no problem with Ubuntu 22.04, which comes with the extension “AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support” https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/. Moreover, I think the problem is not there because, while […]
4th July, updated with BTRFS installations. There’s also a more recent and simpler version of this post. Besides Windows (which I rarely use) on my computers, I have a few Linux distributions. Grub 2 does a good job booting Windows and Linux, especially thanks to os-prober, in autodetecting other operating systems in other partitions of […]
I’ve been using this laptop for some months now (see my other posts). In Windows, you can easily set the battery charge limit to 80% using the LG Gram control center. In Linux, I did not find any specific configuration in any system settings in any DE (not even in KDE Plasma, where, for some […]
I’ve been using Linux EndeavourOS (the latest version, “Atlantis neo”) for a few days now, and I love it! I mainly use Ubuntu and Kubuntu, but I recently enjoyed Manjaro, an Arch-based distro. I still haven’t tried to install the pure Arch distribution, but I learned about EndeavourOS, an Arch-based distro, which is pure Arch. […]
That’s the third post on installing Linux on a USB drive! Remember that the idea is to have a USB drive that will work as a portable Linux operating system on any computer. In the first post, How to install Linux on a USB drive using Virtualbox, the USB drive with Linux installed could be […]
