WetGeek I have an issue with Bluetooth speakers . I just wonder if the above command would reconnect your keyboard and mouse if they are already connected (just a test)

    I keep bluetooth off because I dont use it but sometimes it magically turns on
    hasnt done it in awhile tho.

    plutuplutu Yeah, synapse does not have any new release since 2018. I didn't expect some people still uses it. I cannot find a fork (that's still developed) to replace it. If you find any, please tell us, we might add it to replace synapse. Also a few questions:

    1. What is the use-case for this?
    2. What DE did you usually use this for?
    3. Does it works on all Solus editions?
    4. Is it still working as expected despite six years of no new update?

    Cheers!

        1. It's like GNOME's search in overview to launch apps or open documents, but with a few quality of life features. What misses me the most is a UX thing: it was far more straightforward, like 2 or 3 times less actions required from me for certain tasks. I can live without it but the muscle memory is strong.
        2. GNOME
        3. I haven't tested but it's a gnome app, I guess it'd work anywhere with the right dependecies
        4. Like a charm, as it has always been

          I've recently encountered an Xfce issue that wasn't apparent until now. Here's some background:

          My wife has Alzheimer's dementia, as I've mentioned before, and she uses her laptop to play solitaire games (only). When her budget laptop failed and needed to be replaced, I loaned her one of my DEL Latitudes to use. It's the one with Xfce on it, and for her purposes, I didn't see the need to install Plasma, as on her own laptop. I just left it on Xfce and created a user for her. Spider Solitaire, Shisen-Sho, and Mahjongg don't care which DE they're run on.

          So that laptop now displays my name and her name on the logon screen. Clicking on her name does nothing at all. In order for her to log on, she needs to click on MY name, and after the textbox for entering my password appears, select her name instead. Only then will another textbox appear where she can input HER password.

          It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do to get her logged on. In fact, I found out by accident. Although it's not a difficult workaround, I imagine folks running Xfce, and who add a second user account, might be puzzled for quite a while until they similarly discover the workaround by accident.

            Have you thought about the auto-login setup? You boot into DE without login-screen

              Yes, I've considered it, but that won't work for us in this case, for reasons that I don't want to go into much more in a public forum.

              I'm having the same issue. Here are the symptoms I've noticed.

              1. Steam games crash with error "couldn't switch to requested monitor resolution" when Firefox was running
              2. Starting Firefox will crash if a Steam game is running
              3. You can open "Files" (nautilus) only when Steam is closed
              4. Steam will not start if Files is open

              I've tried to sudo eopkg history -t <number> but the "nanorc" package was deprecated in the last upgrade and causes the history command to fail. Following the instructions in this guide didn't work as the local address errors out as "unknown url type".

              If the history command had some argument such as --exclude <packagenames> there would be a decent chance at having a workaround.

              EDIT: It seems Firefox and Nautilus cannot be run at the same time. Additionally Celluloid videos and video games cannot be running at the same time.

                  MorningCoffeeZombie The problem seems to be specifically with Firefox and not with any other browser yeah. I have tried both Brave and Opera now and they will work just fine and not interrupt steam or nautilus. It seems to be especially an issue when Firefox is playing a video.

                  I too really wish that I could exclude packages when using the history command, those deprecated packages make troubleshooting annoying.

                    Did a new installation (KDE Plasma) on my Laptop.
                    I have discovered a problem, but I cannot say whether it has something to do with the last sync or whether it existed before.
                    Every now and then, when I open the laptop or turn it on again after it has gone into standby (pure standby, no hibernation), the screen remains black. The mouse is visible, however, and I can also switch to other TTYs (Ctrl+Alt+F3).
                    After switching back and forth between GUI and TTY several times, the login comes back at some point.
                    I do not use a dedicated swap partition.

                    I have now switched to wayland and have not been able to reproduce this problem.

                    Are you going to upgrade the repo to the new VirtualBox 7.1 next time?
                    Big improvements when using Wayland

                      On the first run of sudo eopkg upgrade it gave me this:
