Unfortunately I don’t know what is causing the exact issue you are having, however here are a few things I found when doing this myself that are “gotchas” (not immediately obvious).

  1. This is the reason your fonts are all Times New Roman. Go to that key using protontricks regedit and delete all the font replacements. https://infosec.pub/pictrs/image/8fe0d1ac-71b9-4497-aeb7-288af973659e.png
  2. Anything you put in $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/assettocorsa stays there, even if you uninstall the game. If you want to “start over” you have to uninstall the game and then delete the whole assettocorsa directory there, and the wine prefix in $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/244210
  3. AC and content manager work without .net changes in the latest GE but you do need corefonts which you can install with protontricks. If you want to be extra sure you have the right .net you can install dotnet472 but I don’t believe this is necessary anymore as it will be installed automatically or is already installed. You may get a wine .net error the first time you launch the game but it’s only the first time.
  4. If you choose to use CSP you have to unzip the archive you get from either Patreon or acstuff.ru and manually copy the dwrite.dll file into $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/assettocorsa on EVERY upgrade. The zip installer built into CM doesn’t do this correctly on Linux. It will cause rain not to work if you choose to use the Patreon version if you don’t do this manual step.

I think you should start over and make sure the assettocorsa directory is clean before re-installing the game. It could be missing fonts, but it’s hard to say. You can back it up somewhere if you have data in there you need.

Interesting, it is working for me in wayland and the drop down menus are fine but I’m using sway which is a totally different wayland implementation than what KDE is doing. I’m glad you found a workaround.

mranderson17,

broad support for generic smart watches

Gadgetbridge is pretty well on it’s way to this. They roll out support for new devices monthly it seems like. Of course there are always feature X and Y that fitbit or garmin does that it doesn’t, but it’s quite an impressive project. I use it with a pebble 2 HR.

mranderson17,

What android OS do you use? On stock Android 14 (GrapheneOS, but it’s not a GOS feature) this functionality is built into the stock screenshot tool.

pwr+voldown -> tap screenshot that appears in the overlay after you take it -> tap the crop tool . I suppose step three could be removed but what if you want to do something that isn’t cropping? There are lots of other features so at some point you have to tell the tool what you want to do.

mranderson17,

No, I don’t have markup installed (it is there in apps but not installed from the mirror).

I think in my case the screenshot functionality is built into AOSP and the editor you get when tapping the resulting preview overlay in the lower left corner of the screen is part of the “gallery” app since using the “edit” feature from gallery launches the same editor. Maybe GrapheneOS just sets that as the default editor, I’m not sure.

mranderson17,

AOSP gallery that comes with GrapheneOS. The app info says it’s called com.android.gallery3d. There’s some info here in the docs about the relationship between camera, edit functions, and the gallery app.

Remote desktop for Wayland?

I only just switched to Linux last month that time I don’t know what Wayland or X11 is and I just use Linux like normal without knowing I’m using Wayland (KDE), now since I’m already configured my KDE desktop on Wayland and I don’t wanna do it again, so I’m looking for a remote desktop that work under Wayland not...

mranderson17, (edited )

What version of kde? I haven’t tried it, or read about it beyond the changelog, however the latest beta release says that it supports RDP to connect to plasma desktops which is quite an interesting development if it works the way it sounds like it does:

Remote Desktop system integration to allow RDP clients to connect to Plasma desktops, plus a new page in System Settings for configuring this

For the “from anywhere” component you could use a vpn, but if you’re looking for a simple solution with zero configuration than nomachine or rustdesk seem more appropriate. Just thought the RDP support was worth sharing.

mranderson17,

Memories and Gallery (actually deprecated by photos) are not the same thing, just to clarify. I’m not in a position to agree or disagree with any of the statements here since I’ve never used immich, but I don’t want people to think that the default photo viewer in nextcloud is what was being discussed here.

mranderson17,

If you want to monitor sleep with it charging at night isn’t possible, and remembering to charge every single day during the day is annoying in my opinion. Not everyone wants sleep monitoring though, or likes to sleep with a watch on, so I get why there’s some division on the subject.

My pebble 2 hr lasts about 5 days and I’m very happy with that frequency of charging. I think it was a bit better when new but that was a long time ago.

mranderson17,

So, I’m not sure if the process has changed in the last decade or so but in a long-ago computer forensics class step 0, before all else, was to never operate data recovery on the original disk. Create a block level image of the entire device, then work on that.

My go to steps for recovery have been the following in the years since:

  1. create an image of the entire disk (not a partition) using ddrescue ddrescue -d /dev/sdX <path_to_image>.img
  2. Run test disk on it selecting the partitions as necessary testdisk <path_to_image>.img

If the disk has a complicated partition layout, or more effort is required to find the correct partition you can also mount parts of the disk.

  1. create an image of the entire disk (not a partition) using ddrescue

    ddrescue -d /dev/sdX <path_to_image>.img

  2. Mount the image as a loopback device with the appropriate offset

    losetup --offset <some_offset_like_8192> --show -v -r -f -P <path_to_image>.imgthis will mount individual partitions:

    
<span style="color:#323232;">loop58        7:58   0 465.8G  1 loop
</span><span style="color:#323232;">├─loop58p1  259:7    0   1.5G  1 part
</span><span style="color:#323232;">├─loop58p2  259:8    0 450.6G  1 part
</span><span style="color:#323232;">└─loop58p3  259:9    0  13.7G  1 part
</span>

  3. Then operate testdisk on whatever partition you want.

All that said there are a lot of variables here and things don’t always work perfectly. I hope you do find a way to recover them.

mranderson17,

I use sway and run zoom in my browser (because zoom is shady and I don’t trust them). Screen sharing works fine in the browser. The application never worked very well to being with anyway for me, even on X11.

I also use git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/ for individual output screen recording such as gaming which works amazingly well. You can not select a section of a single output though, only the whole output. That’s a deal breaker for some, and a non-issue for others, just depends on what you need.

Sway for a little over a year now (on an AMD gpu). I switched for mixed refresh rate support and VRR. VRR requires a workaround in sway but works better in others, like hyprland, however I like sway’s tiling better so I stuck with it. Also the absence of tearing in anything, ever, is worth it to me. I have two vertical displays and it was really hit or miss on X11. Sometimes GPU acceleration would just decide not to work in browsers and I’d have to restart them because smooth scrolling would turn into a stop-motion film. That’s never happened since switching to sway.

EDIT: I used i3 before

mranderson17,

But can it sneekily destroy the cables under my desk? And does it sometimes just stop and look at you to think “I could destroy you… if only I was a little bit bigger”.

mranderson17,

The bottom three boards are a Japanese layout with ISO English keycaps right? Are the function layers programmable on those? I’ve always wondered.

I use a Tex Yoda II and operate the function layer with my thumb on the middle trackpoint mouse button so very little movement is required (see image). I have always loved my Topre boards though and would like to replicate this convenience on something using Topre. The Japanese layout with extra bottom row keys and a smaller spacebar seems perfect in theory. It’s a lot of money to spend on something I might not be able to use at all if it’s not programmable though.

mranderson17,

Thanks, that’s really great info! Aaaannd just like that the stack of keyboard boxes gets a little higher and my wallet gets a little lighter =]

looking for a US source for Gateron switches

I have a keyboard with gateron blue clear top (black base, clear top) switches. It has a few switches that no longer work consistently so I’m looking for some replacements. The keyboard is backlit so I’d like to keep the clear top. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find a source for this type of switch I feel comfortable with...

mranderson17,

Oh that’s perfect, not sure why I didn’t find that when I was searching. Thanks!

mranderson17,

So, none of these sellers have blue clear top switches for sale. The closest is microcenter but only because the stock photo shows clear tops with white bottoms, the listing doesn’t actually say what they are and the mfg part number is just “GAT-BLUE”. Novelkeys has milkytop blues but they are out of stock. Thanks though, I hadn’t checked a couple of those sites.

mranderson17,

Yeah honestly the aliexpress listings are more detailed than a lot of the sites that have been suggested or that I’ve been able to find on my own. Maybe I should just suck it up and get them there.

Seeking some input on long term experience with Krytox 205g0 or Tribosys 3204

About 8 years ago I lubed a Topre clone board (CM Novatouch) with “Finish Line Extreme Fluoro PFPAE” which was recommended at the time. Now years later it has pretty much all turned to dust and isn’t really lubricating anything anymore. I suspect this happened maybe 5 years from when I applied it because it started feeling...

mranderson17,

Ended up going with the 205g0 for everything. 3204 didn’t feel very good and started separating before I could even get it on the switches.

mranderson17,

Huh, I didn’t realize that about CM and Topre. I like it a lot honestly which is why I put all this time into cleaning all the old stuff off. Thanks for the input!
