Linux

My first real attempt at ricing. Working with Hyprland. Color palette inspiration from Kripton-GTK with Gruvbox-Dark icon set.

I want to run openvpn every time I log on, but currently I run

sudo openvpn --config <myconfig> --auth-user-pass <user/pass>

every time. Is there a way to make it run that automatically and not need my password?

I could make it launch a terminal and run a script but is there a way that would not require me to type my password every time? Can I maybe give myself permissions to whatever openvpn needs so it doesn't need sudo? How do I find out what those permissions are? Is this the right place to ask?

I'm running KDE/Plasma 6 on Manjaro should that matter

edit: Thanks all! I'm going to try the systemd option, if I can't get that working I'll fall back to the cronjob option, and failing that changing openvpn to not need a password for sudo and launching a script at kde statup.

Just wanted to drop there here, in case anybody finds it useful. I started doing some blogging, mostly with the intention of archiving how in the hell I've done things on Linux, in the past, so I know where to find them the next time I need to do them. There will probably be other stuff there, with time, some of it not linux related, but I'll tag the relevant stuff, so it's easier to find.

windows has built it monitor calibration, anything like it for Linux? basically to adjust gamma and rgb balabce

Tails 6.0 anonymous OS is now available for public testing ahead of the official release on February 27th based on Debian 12 Bookworm.

I use equalizerAPO on windows currently, is there something similar for Linux?

This posting is intended to function not only as a tutorial but, also, as a review and commentary on my ‘long-term’ use of spectrwm as my primary window manager (long-term, meaning at least one month of daily use).

Anyone here have a Linux phone? I'm super curious about the experience, if so.

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-40547) has been found in the shim bootloader, leaving millions of Linux systems vulnerable to attack.

This is what it looks like:
HDMI 60 Hz and I switch from TTY1 (with Cinnamon) to TTY2 - it takes 7 seconds.
HDMI 60 Hz return from TTY2 to TTY1 - takes 1 second.
DisplayPort 60 Hz and I switch from TTY1 (with Cinnamon) to TTY2 - it takes 6 seconds.
DisplayPort 60 Hz return from TTY2 to TTY1 - takes 6 seconds!.

On HDMI, the return takes only a second. And that's how it should always be, right?
Yet every other case lasts 6-7 seconds. That's a ridiculously long time, and there's no reason for it to take that long, is there?

In turn, at higher refresh rates, even HDMI recovery takes 6-7 seconds.
This is also surprising behavior. As if the system/drivers(?) only supported HDMI 60 Hz exactly, but not completely, because switching to TTY2 still takes too long.

What can I do with this? Is it only possible to count on driver updates to improve things?

Dziwny bug, związany z HDMI/DisplayPort i częstotliwością odświeżania i przełączaniem między TTY.

Tak to wygląda:
HDMI 60 Hz i przełączam z TTY1(z Cinnamon), na TTY2 - trwa 7 sekund.
HDMI 60 Hz powrót z TTY2 na TTY1 - trwa 1 sekundę.
DisplayPort 60 Hz i przełączam z TTY1(z Cinnamon), na TTY2 - trwa 6 sekund.
DisplayPort 60 Hz powrót z TTY2 na TTY1 - trwa 6 sekund!.

Na HDMI powrót trwa tylko sekundę. I tak powinno być zawsze, nie?
A jednak każdy inny przypadek trwa 6-7 sekund. To absurdalnie długo, i chyba nie ma żadnego powodu, żeby tyle to trwało?

Z kolei przy wyższych częstotliwościach odświeżania, już nawet HDMI powrót trwa 6-7 sekund.
To też jest zaskakujące zachowanie. Jakby system/sterowniki(?) obsługiwały tylko dokładnie HDMI 60 Hz, ale też nie do końca, bo przełączenie na TTY2 nadal trwa za długo.

Co mogę z tym zrobić? Czy tylko można liczyć na aktualizacje sterowników, żeby coś się poprawiło?

I run a web server (lighttpd) to serve a few pages to the world. I've installed the nordvpn client and when I run it two expected things happen:

1. I lose my SSH connection to the machine, and
2. My website becomes inaccessible to the public

Is it possible to run the VPN and still maintain the SSH connection on the local net and the web server connection on the internet?

I'm using #MXLinux on #LiveUSB and tried to rollback it to previous remaster. However, I had updated the kernel to newer version before.
In effect, the OS "didn't finish up booting", or, rather threw (as I saw after Alt-F1) an (uncritical) error about new kernel unavailable and booted up to CLI. To recover from this, I used the same live-kernel-updater, but rolled back the kernel version instead of updating. This recovered the system.

This should be helpful also for #Antix users as both distros share their LiveUSB utilities.

Due to an issue in ext4 with data corruption in kernel 6.1.64-1, we are pausing the 12.3 image release for today while we attend to fixes. Please do not update any systems at this time, we urge caution for users with UnattendedUpgrades configured. Please see bug# 1057843: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1057843

Just bought a pc laptop and want to dual boot Linux. Windows will be for some games, Linux for everything else. Would this be the right place to ask for advice?

Thank you all who have supported my channel so far. I finally got 360 subscribers. Which to many is not a big feat. Considering all I’ve been through I’m lucky to be around to make videos at all. I got my first affiliate offer in my email today.

I’m sure thousands of these are sent out every day but this put a big smile on my face. I’m not going to accept their offer but I’m happy to have even been considered as all.

Come check me out if you haven’t already. I do mostly Linux, gaming and open source application show cases!
