Unbearable Linux issues on work laptop
  • Definitely! I was also distro-hopping a bit for fun and to see what would fit my workflow - so it didnt cost me anything extra really.

  • Unbearable Linux issues on work laptop
  • So far so good! Have tested the system for a little while now, and have not been able to run into the same issues as before - so this might have solved the issues I've been having. While Ubuntu is not my first choice of distro, I will choose it any time of the day over Windows!

  • Unbearable Linux issues on work laptop
  • I have not. If the issues remain on Ubuntu i will check for sure. Thank you.

  • I'll check this, but this does happen also when not on wifi. I can only use my hotspot for wifi - as my company doesnt allow "uncertified" laptops to access their wifi.

  • Interesting, i could try installing windows again to see if that should do anything; but so far so good on Ubuntu 24.04.

    Not quite sure about the cable, but I would assume it's a good one(default with the screens) as we have hundreds upon hundreds of these screens.

  • Unbearable Linux issues on work laptop

    Hi there folks!

    I've used Linux for a good while now, but have no idea how to troubleshoot the current issues I'm having with my laptop at work. Let's begin.

    The laptop at hand is a HP EliteBook 845 14inch Notebook G10. A standard work laptop, with Windows pre-installed from It. This PC is "new" in the sens that I just got it from IT.

    Laptop specs:

    • CPU: AMD ryzen 5 7540U
    • GPU: Radeon 740M Graphics
    • RAM: 16GB
    • Kernel: 6.11.6-2-default

    Other notable settings:

    • fast boot off
    • secure boot off
    • have encrypted the drive

    FYI: These issues have been the same across multiple distros and DEs. I've tried, Bluefin, Aurora, Red Hat Workstation and now running OpenSuse Tumbleweed (KDE+Wayland).

    The issues:

    1. The first noticeable issues were that the laptop fans are considerable louder when running Linux. I assume there is some preinstalled HP software to control this on windows, as they are completely silent on windows, but constantly noticeable on Linux.

    2. The second issue at hand is that the USB-C port doesn't seem to charge the laptop properly. The laptop randomly dies after being on for a while WITH THE CHARGER PLUGGED IN. Very odd. This happens with both normal charger and the office charger (which is also the connection to external screen).

    3. Waking up from sleep is a terrible experience. The pc makes everything super slow and laggy. Opening a single application can take up to multiple minutes. The PC has to be restarted for this to be fixed. This happens on both X11 and Wayland.

    4. Connection to external monitor also seems to be causing issues and slowing the system down. Especially after pc has been in sleep mode.

    ---

    These are the main issues I've ran into in only a couple of days trying Linux on this laptop and I don't know what the causing issue is, or if the laptop simple isn't 'made' to run Linux(?).

    Would highly appreciate any tips or troubleshooting tips for this. Would love to be able to run Linux on the work laptop!

    ---

    Edit 1: Now trying Ubuntu, so far so good! Will keep post updated.

    Edit 2: Ubuntu seems to do well with this hardware/laptop.

  • Selfhosted DNS filter/Adblocker issue.. (Adguard + Unbound)

    Hi there good folks! Trying to wrap my head around how this stack works. Previously I've been using NextDNS for this and it worked wonders. However, I've wanted to explore other options and have now gone with the Adguard+Unbound route on a RPI 4B.. This setup defo works, its blocking what I want blocked, but its created a new issue I've not had before. On my Graphene OS phone, as long as this setup is "active" (e.g. over Tailscale), all my notifications through various applications are getting delayed. Each notification come roughly 10 min late, if at all, or appear as soon as I open the corresponding app. I'm pretty sure this caused by either Adguard or Unbound but betting my money on Unbound - as I don't see any relevant DNS queries being blocked.

    I am still a little unsure of what is causing this issue so if anyone would be able to enlighten me on how I could troubleshoot this issue I would be very grateful.

    Is Top10VPN.com legit?
  • No. Stay away from these sites. They're only reason to exist is because they have builtin their promo-code into each "try this vpn" button. Giving them a cut of whatever you end up paying for the vpn service. These promo deals that these vpn companies have going are also incredibly lucrative for those promoting them, often giving them 20-40% of the cut.

    I think this is unfair because their articles are low quality and often just copied from other sites.

    There are mainly 3 vpns you should consider:

    • MullvadVPN.
    • ProtonVPN.
    • IVPN.

  • Anyone using Intune (Company Portal) by Microsoft on their work laptops?

    Hi there!

    A bunch of us at work have been looking at getting Intune running on our Linux machines, this is needed to get Wi-Fi access at work. While there is a guide on getting this on Linux - the requirements are strictly limiting this to RedHat and Ubuntu and Gnome only. Has anyone here had any success with setting this up? Was it difficult?

    I tried myself just once last week, but on Aurora (KDE), via a RHEL distrobox, and assumed it failed due to my main system not having gnome-keyring installed(?) as the terminal would spit out "gnome-keyring" a couple of times when launching Intune. Was gonna try with RHEL myself during this week, but wanted to hear here first if anyone has had any success with this at all before i attempt to get it running.

    Appreciate any response on this :)

    How can I schedule notifications for work apps?
  • Ahhh ofc, can't believe I didn't think of this.. This also solves my issue actually ☺️

    Just seen that there is also a drop down menu to easily turn this on and off, perfect.

  • What features would you like added to Lemmy itself?
  • I'd really like for there to be an easy way to create polls.

  • How can I schedule notifications for work apps?

    Hi there!

    Using Insular to isolate the few work apps I have on my phone. However I'd like to not receive notifications from these apps outside the 9-5 hours. Anyone know how to do this?

    Any tips appreciated 👍

    Anyone self-hosting ActualBudget? (with connection to bank)

    Hiya, I am looking into a few different services to better manage my finances, among the highest recommended ones there is ActualBudget. Actualbugdet itself is opensource and private, however, to get the most out of this service you may connect it to your bank, via a third party service. Has anyone here actually done this? The service (for EU folks) is called GoCardless. This however, to me is ringing many alarms..

    Here is the screenshot showing the message before connecting to my bank..

    !

    Here GoCardless's list of partners/suppliers:

    https://assets.ctfassets.net/40w0m41bmydz/6Mg3PGztGEQh11N3MNRmYc/1f186cf883151ca04b9c71c23b5ee4d3/GoCardless_material_supplier_list_v2024.09.pdf

    I assume there is no private alternative that allows you to connect to your bank into AcualBudget or another service, if so please let me know! Managing finances would be so much more convenient if it all was automatically synced into a self-hosted service.

    Let me know how you manage your finances :)

    /home dir on a separate partition? Why/Why not?

    Hey folks!

    I'm about to distro hop (again) to test Tumbleweed for a longer period of time 🦎 However, something i've not done before is to have my /home directory on a separate partition, should I? If I do it, should it be a different filesystem than the rest? (Been reading on OpenSuse TW forums and seen people mentioning that they use BTRFS for /home and XFS for the rest, or the other way around. Are there any benefits of using separate filesystems, or is this done to get the BTRFS backup for the /home dir?

    What are the pros and cons of doing these changes to my system, lemmy know :)

    Game Video Clipping tool for Linux?

    Hi, I am looking for video clipping tool that record the last 60 seconds or so from any game I play, but on Linux. Software such as MedalTV, Nvidia ShadowPlay(i have AMD card) etc.. is what I am on the lookout for. I know OBS is one option, probably the best(?), but are there any other suggestions?

    Any tips or suggestions appreciated :)

    VPN needed for using Soulseek?

    Hiya,

    Working on completely replacing Spotify completely. Soulseek has popped up a few times here and there among forums and here on lemmy, so I thought I'd give that a go. I've started with getting Nicotine+ client and seems to be working fine. However, what does the traffic look like when downloading/uploading things over the Soulseek network? I read its peer-to-peer network, but does that mean I don't need a VPN? I'm also told to open a port on my router, I'm assuming this is so that I can share my own library with the rest of the network, but how safe is this?

    If anyone could help my clarify this I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Edit: Just found this very promising project too! https://github.com/slskd/slskd
