Linux

This is very much a "Windows thing" to do but I would like to preload a Distrobox on system start.

The benefit is that distrobox enter BOXNAME or launching a binary or app from distrobox-export is way faster.

On Fedora Kinoite (Atomic KDE) with Podman, I use this:

cat ~/.config/autostart/preload-BOXNAME.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Preload the Distrobox container BOXNAME
Exec=/usr/bin/podman start BOXNAME 
EOF

This is a KDE specific workaround, as only "Applications" reliably autostart.

In the app menu enter "Autostart" and go to the settings page, the box should appear there.

Log out and back in, go to the same settings page to verify.

I know this is basically a spam tool.

I think to know that you can query some info from a mailserver to test if an address exists.

I would like to find hidden addresses of some companies, for example I want to test if [email protected] exists.

Anyone know how to do that?

Update

I learned quite a bit

• Mailserver block the requests that are used to get a list of inboxes ("accounts")
• many servers will block mailservers that are not on an allowlist
• many servers will block servers, if mails were sent to nonexistent addresses a couple of times
• the message "recipient not known" will not appear often, as servers may "black hole" a senders mail and cut off the connection without sending the status message back

1. I am very unlikely to switch away from KDE Plasma 6
2. I would anyways like to try Sway or the like
3. I dont use virtual desktops and find just navigating through a bottom taskbar makes more sense for me
4. I have many apps fullscreen, and would never tile more than once vertically, as I am on a Laptop
5. I want: NightLight, tray icons, a good app menu, many KDE Apps (Dolphin, Kate, Ark, Gwenview, Spectacle Edit feature at least)

Are Wayland WMs ready for this use case? What would you recommend to fill these exact requirements?

Hi all . I currently have version 2023.06.25 installed, stable. Tell me how to install the latest version 20240612? I see a lot of changes here https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbwww/commit/d8bcd5c7044e28c6e20778ea25f6b907092a7e52 If I understand correctly the mechanism for introducing blob objects has changed, how can I check the ROM after I run the command $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

openSUSE Leap Micro 6.0 Beta is now available! We expect that it will very quickly transition to RC and GA as the infra readiness advances. Leap Micro 6.0 Beta images can be found at get.opensuse.org or directly at download.opensuse.org.

About Leap Micro

Leap Micro 6.0 is a rebranded SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 6.0 which is an ultrareliable container and VM host by SUSE. This is the first publicly released product based on the fresh code base "SUSE Linux Framework One" (previously known as ALP).

Leap Micro 6.X is available for x86_64 and aarch64, released every 6 months, and supported until the next-next release is out. That means that Leap Micro 6.0 will become EOL once Leap Micro 6.2 gets released.

All pieces related to Rancher and Elemental are purposely excluded from Leap Micro 6.X as SLE Micro for Rancher is free for use without any subscription within Rancher deployments.

No more traditional installer

Leap Micro 6.X is deployed via self-install image which writes a preconfigured image to the disk and enlarges root partition. Users can use combustion, ignition or default to the jeos-firstboot wizard to do the initial setup of the system.

Do not get mistaken by the availability of openSUSE-Leap-Micro-6.0-*.iso is not installable. We refer to the image as a Packages image, which is basically an offline repository on a DVD.

New FDE, VMWare, and Cloud images

Aside from the self-install image Micro 6.0 comes with qcow, Full Disk Encryption, and RealTime images. All images can be found at download.opensuse.org

For the first time Leap Micro 6.X has also cloud-init therefore shortly after the release we will also have cloud images available on GCP, Azure, and AWS.

Changes to the product building

Leap Micro 6.X is using the new product composer instead of the old product builder. This allowed us to consume update-info from the newly designed maintenance workflow of SLE Micro 6.0 and was preferred by the openSUSE maintenance team.

Changes to the repositories and maintenance workflow

Leap Micro 5.X users receive all updates released for relevant SLE Micro version via a repository named repo-sle-update. This particular repository no longer exists in Leap Micro 6.X.

Instead, the repo-main repository will contain all released updates for the relevant version of SUSE Linux Micro to date.

Please note that the repository path slightly changed too, we'll ensure that migration via transactional-update shell followed by zypper dup --releaser 6.0 works via compatibility symlinks on download server.

New way of managing repository definitions

openSUSE-repos is not new to our users, however, for the first time, openSUSE Leap Micro 6.0 deployments come with openSUSE-repos preinstalled. openSUSE repos uses a local RIS service that easily lets us maintain repository definitions with a package update.

Users migrating from 5.5/5.4 releases are advised to install zypper in openSUSE-repos to ensure they have up-to-date repository paths.

Documentation

Please refer to SLE Micro 6.0 documentation including Release notes.

Reporting Issues

Please refer to the Leap Micro section in our Submitting bug reports page.

Next steps

Missing maintenance setup was a long-term blocker for the transition out from Alpha, otherwise, the distribution itself is stable and feature-full. Now that we have it, we need to polish some remaining infrastructure issues and users can expect a release within the next few days. Ideally before oSC2024 next week.

Recently switched from windows 10 to Debian 12.5 bookworm since I have a unique setup (Nvidia 2070S GPU, 2 1080p monitors, Dell Canvas, and TV) and the default inclusion of Nvidia proprietary drivers and years of Wacom support have made everything workable (nearly out of the box!).

However, touch still isn't great. It works well in Xournal++ and decently in Krita, but struggles everywhere else as a mouse input.

I'm considering hopping to Pop OS! once a stable version of their much anticipated COSMIC DE launches since I love the upgrades over GNOME.

Anybody running a pen display similar to the Dell Canvas on Pop OS! that can speak to it's support for pen and touch input?
