Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

Yes, I'd considered that too. Alas, not the case

Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

Thanks. I'll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you've suggest too. But at this point it's looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys (lemmy.nz)
 

(initially posted on /r/KDE but stoked to see there's a community here!)

I have a fairly new Debian KDE install - I've been tweaking and fixing things for the past week quite happily.

Was trying to fix the volume keys not working this evening. Logged into TTY2 and ran showkey --scancodes and showkey --keycodes per a forum post in an attempt to diagnose and fix. When I hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to my session, it was back at the login screen, as if I'd typed my password (ie dots entered for password and greyed out as if I'd then hit enter)

And there it stayed.

Reboot brings me to login, type password (fingerprint reader no longer registers) and there it hangs again.

I can log in just fine through the console (incidentally, the fingerprint reader works just fine there). startx will then happily run a gui from there with full access to my files. I've also created a new user via console and I can log in graphically just fine via that one too.

But my main user login remains stubbornly broken. Any ideas on what's happened?

Have an old NUC... (lemmy.nz)
 

So, I have an old 3rd or 4th gen Intel NUC that's I used to use to run Kodibuntu back in the day. I'm thinking of repurposing it into a low power home server to run the *arr suite, Jellyfin and nextcloud plus maybe some other bits. Nothing too taxing that I can see.

Obviously I need hard drive space to go with this. Is a USB enclosure, directly attached, going to be fast enough? Or do I need to go to a NAS of some kind? Alternatively, my router has a USB connection for a HDD - would that be better?

The Other Players Who Helped (Almost) Make the World’s Biggest Backdoor Hack in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 14 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Darktable 4.6 Open-Source RAW Image Editor Released, Here's What's New in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 1 points 11 months ago

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must've tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can't get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn't click for me and I can't get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I'd rather not...

Temporary Changes to our Sign-Up Policy in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Oh Christ, really? That's just sickening. I often sort by new, sounds like I've been very lucky to miss it entirely...

bitwig studio for arch linux in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

There's really nothing other than Bitwig and Ableton that deals well with loops/clips, or has that clip-based workflow.
