I've recently been unable to use my computer running Fedora 42 with gnome. It boots up, and GDM starts running, however it shows a flat grey screen with no login option. I can pull up a tty and login as normal (although using gnome-session to start a GUI session from there doesn't work). I have tried to use systemctl to restart GDM from the tty, but that l brings me back to square one. What can I do from here to resolve this issue?

GPU: Radeon 7800xt, Open Source Drivers Window System: Wayland.

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler I'm on a resist durge run, and I'm wondering if I could still trigger the "kill your lover" scene after how handled the quest for Isobel.

The way I progressed after entering the shadow cursed lands was:

• fought the shadows that ambushed the harper patrol and cursed yonas
• Made my way to last light in, had the cutscene where Jaheira suspects you're a cultist and tries to kill you.
• after getting her trust I talked with her inside the inn, refused to drink the wine.
• I took a long rest before talking to Isobel
• I talked to Isobel immediately after the long rest, then beat Marcus and the winged horrors.
• at the next long rest, I got the quest to kill Isobel from Sceleritas. I told him something like "I'll consider it"
• I then talked to Isobel, told her about the urge, then chose not to kill her in the dialogue.
• the quest still hasn't shown up as me having failed to kill her, even after plenty of long rests.

Can I still get the "kill your lover" scene after how I progressed, or did I lock myself out of it? I should note, I have entered moonrise towers by now, but I did take plenty of long rests before then :::

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler I recently cleared the Selune Temple, killed all of the leaders except Minthara, who I just knocked out, have done the party and received directions from Halsin to the Moonrise Towers.

All good, right? I should just get to the mountains or the underdark and head to act 2, right? Issue is, the party is only at level 4 right now. I assume I should find some encounters, but I'm not sure what level I should get to, and if there are enough encounters left to get to that level. I currently can think of:

• auntie Ethel's fight.
• the goblin camp outside of the temple (this might be enough on its own
• the encounter at the port in the putrid bog (where kagha was going to meet according to the note)

Will doing these be enough to get to a level where act 2 is accomplishable? :::

So if I were to be fighting tiamat, and I true polymorphed into another tiamat, would I be able to use fire breath against her, or would we need to do melee combat only? And would our claws be able to do anything to each other or would we have a stalemate?

My party recently:

• Got to level 18

• obtained the swords of kas

• I have 17 levels in Bard and one in druid currently, because of that I can cast wish with the right feats, which I have currently.

• my character recently reunited with her last living family member, her sister, who is now a warlock.

• I want to nullify the deal, since the magic can't be taken away and having your soul gone sucks, but none of us know who the patron is.

• Could we learn who through divination spells? And if so:

• could a wish spell nullify the pact and un sell her soul? I would assume yes since the reality bending part is so ambiguous and encompassing

Today I noticed that after I first booted my computer, my motherboard's Bluetooth card wasn't detected. I need bluetooth to use my speakers because my soundcard doesn't have linux drivers(another problem for another day) so I went without sound today. But then when I restarted the computer to see if that would change anything regarding the Bluetooth, it,

a.) Didn't change anything about the Bluetooth driver, and B) now my 2.4g dongle doesn't work for me to connect my mouse(I can still use it wired though) and my wired keyboard doesn't work.

Both times I booted my noticed that systemd was shutting down udevd, which I have never noticed before. I know that udev is controls peripherals, so that is the most likely issue.

How would I go about fixing my computer?

SiegedSec, a collective of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers,” has claimed credit for breaching online databases of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that spearheaded the rightwing Project 2025 playbook. On Wednesday, as part of string of hacks aimed at organizations that oppose trans rights, SiegedSec released a cache of Heritage Foundation material.

In a post to Telegram announcing the hack, SiegedSec called Project 2025 “an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.” The attack was part of the group’s #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted rightwing media outlet Real America’s Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.

In his foreword to the Project 2025 manifesto, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, rails against “the toxic normalization of transgenderism” and “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” The playbook’s other contributors call on “the next conservative administration” to roll back certain policies, including allowing trans people to serve in the military.

“We’re strongly against Project 2025 and everything the Heritage Foundation stands for,” one of SiegedSec’s leaders, who goes by the handle vio, told The Intercept.

I was planning on installing windows to my new ssd for a dualboot, but I noticed that windows installer didn't allow me to select the disk. I learned that it just installs to the drive that is marked as M2_1 in the bios. I thought that had something to do with boot order initially, but I'm not sure about that now. If it is boot order, my second ssd doesn't even show up in the boot order menu So:

1. Does windows install to whatever is second in boot order or whatever is marked as M2_1 in the bios, and
2. How can I edit this to prevent windows from nuking my main linux partition and using the empty ssd, and after the install, how should I make sure both drives are available to boot into?

Motherboard is MSI MS - 7E10

I finished my first build a few months ago, put fedora workstation on it, everything's been great so far, but there are a few games I have and love which don't work, or are incredibly unstable. so I'm looking for a small, let's say 256gb SSD, to dual boot with windows for those games as well as creative work with lightroom.

My current drive has enough storage for a windows dual boot on its own, but I do not want windows to hide the linux partition or delete it completely.

So my questions are:

• Should I get a larger SSD than 256gb?
• what would be a good drive at that size?

Tesla blames sales drop on Houthi attacks and arson in Germany

The company warned in January that sales growth could be "notably lower" in 2024 as it comes a successful 2023 fueled by price cuts.

So I have a new installation of fedora, which I reinstalled because gdm would freeze and prevent me from logging in and using my computer. I then noticed the same problem on the new installation. I noticed that using an older kernel worked, but system upgrades will break gdm again. I don't want to have to never update my system. New distro? Suggestions to fix this? I ideally want an relatively bleeding edge distro.

I installed fedora kde earlier today, hated kde, couldn't uninstall it, so reinstalled with workstation. My hostname was originally computer, but I changed it, but now I still see user@computer ~ whenever I go into a terminal? is this a problem. Gnome terminal also looks weird

I finished building my PC recently. when I turn on the monitor when the computer isn't on, there's obviously no signal and I see the bouncing logo, but when the computer is on, it says that there is no signal, and that my monitor is going into standby mode, and the display turns off. my gpu seems to be working fine, and I reseated my ram. What should I do?

Suggestions?
