Is it just me, or are lots of mods just banning anyone with a dissenting opinion?

I like to be a bit contrarian, play devil's advocate, stuff like that, so sometimes I know what I post isn't going to jive with the community I'm posting in, but I think there's value in that. It starts a discussion and it offers a different pov.

Maybe I'm wrong and stupid, and someone can reply and explain why. I think that would be a net benefit. But what happens instead is my post gets deleted and I get banned. :/

I genuinely think this is a real issue and it leads to echo chambers, but am curious to see what other ppl think? Am I just salty? :)

Hello everyone!

I have the events from Nextcloud show up in the calendar, and that all works fine, but every update (at least I think it's due to updates) it all gets deselected and I have to tick the boxes again for events to show up.

I wouldn't mind even a hacky solution like a cron job to run at every boot or something like that - but I don't know where calendar settings are stored/configured.

Any help/advice is welcome!
Thanks!

Hi!

I'm trying to run the emacs daemon as a systemd user unit, and I'm seeing this error when trying to launch the GUI client:

Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

From what I've seen online it might be due to it trying to start before I'm logged in or something like that.
It does work after restarting the unit but I don't want to do that every time.

Anyone else see this before? Any ideas for a fix? Is there a better way of starting the emacs daemon?

Hello folks! I’ve been having this issue seen in the screenshot. I get this Wayland window and krunner and other things run in there. After a time I even get the login screen inside the wayland window. If I close it I lose krunner, alt-tab, and other keyboard shortcuts.

Not sure how this is happening or how to make it go away. I did try Wayland at one point but it wasn’t quite working out for me and since I reverted back to X11 I get this issue.

If anyone’s wondering, my main issue with Wayland was that it wasn’t setting the DISPLAY and WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variables for some reason, and this would cause all kinds of software like Steam and Firefox to not even launch. I tried setting them manually but that didn’t go do well either.

Edit: Thank you all! With your help I managed to find and fix it - it was my fault due to a systemd override launching a service after kwin_wayland.

[Unit]
Requires=plasma-kwin_wayland.service
After=plasma-kwin_wayland.service
[Install]
WantedBy=graphical-session.target

That was the issue. Remved the override and everything works!
I even tried Wayland again and now the display variables are defined correctly from the get go and everything works - although this has been on again off again so it might stop working at one point.

You have to scroll a bit to see the announcement. Curious to see what people think of this. I am a bit reluctant/skeptical, thinking if they get it wrong it's going to mess everything up.
