3·6 days agoI wrote a Python script to parse the data and convert into RGB values. Here are the light mode values:
blue 00496c red a0252b green 3b6e43 yellow 966800 bright_green 00572c bright_red 880418 bright_orange 782c00 ext_warm_grey 9b8e8a ext_orange fab86c ext_yellow f6e062 ext_blue 6acad8 ext_purple d48cff ext_pink ff9bdd ext_indigo 95c4fc accent_blue 00525a accent_red 78292e accent_green 185529 accent_warm_grey 554742 accent_orange 624000 accent_yellow 534800 accent_purple 68217b accent_pink 860439 accent_indigo 2e496cHere are the dark mode values:
blue 94ebeb red ffb5b5 green abf6d1 yellow fff19e bright_green 5edb8c bright_red ffa090 bright_orange ffa37d ext_warm_grey 9b8e8a ext_orange ffad00 ext_yellow fddb40 ext_blue 48b9c7 ext_purple ce7dff ext_pink f93983 ext_indigo 3e88ff accent_blue 63d0de accent_red fca1a0 accent_green 92ce9b accent_warm_grey cabab4 accent_orange ffad00 accent_yellow f6e062 accent_purple e79bfd accent_pink ff9bb1 accent_indigo a1c0eb
They have the RGB values as decimals in the
light.ronanddark.ronfiles here: https://github.com/pop-os/libcosmic/blob/master/cosmic-theme/src/model/You would need to convert the numbers to hexadecimal manually.
4·6 days agoYes, based on the diagrams on their blog, it looks like this only impacts Snaps.
From the Discourse Blog:
The Linux desktop provides XDG Desktop Portals as a standardised way for applications to access resources that are outside of the sandbox. Applications that have been updated to use XDG Desktop Portals will continue to use them. Prompting is not intended to replace XDG Desktop Portals but to complement them by providing the desktop an alternative way to ask the user for permission. Either when an application has not been updated to use XDG Desktop Portals, or when it makes access requests not covered by XDG Desktop Portals.
Since prompting works at the syscall level, it does not require an application’s awareness or cooperation to work and extends the set of applications that can be run inside of a sandbox, allowing for a safer desktop. It is designed to enable desktop applications to take full advantage of snap packaging that might otherwise require classic confinement.
So this looks like it complements and not replaces the XDG Desktop Portals, especially for applications that have not implemented the Portals. It allows you to still run those applications in confinement while providing some more granular access controls.
6·8 days agoFrom what I can tell, Pop!_OS does not ship their own version of timeshift. Instead, it comes directly from Ubuntu. So if there is a change in maintainers, it should be reported to Ubuntu:

4·8 days agoI used to use VLC for music, but these days I use Symphony to play local files on my phone. VLC tended to struggle when scanning or indexing large folders (which it did all the time…), while Symphony is a bit better at that. That said, I still use VLC for video and for casting things from my DLNA server (VLC supports Chromecast).
For ebooks, I’ve used Librera FD and that has been mostly OK. I’ll checkout the two you mentioned though. Thanks!
3·9 days agoOn Ubuntu, there is a program called “Firmware Updater” which uses LVFS to retrieve and install firmware updates (including BIOS/UEFI).
According to this page: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.lenovo.ThinkPadN23ETXXW.firmware your Carbon X1 Gen 6 should be supported.
2·10 days agoHoly hurdle! TY J-LOVE!
All my servers moved to 24.04 and I wanted my desktop to keep in line with them (so they all had the same packages). Likewise, I’ve been following the development of GNOME and I really liked what they have done with versions 45 and 46, so I wanted to try a more modern version of that desktop environment (Pop 22.04 is still on GNOME 42 and is now missing out on some cool features like the quick settings menu).
Finally, I wanted to try out Wayland and the experience on Pop 22.04 is not great with Wayland, especially since it is missing out on the more recent fixes and updates in Ubuntu 24.04.
If you are happy with Pop 22.04 and willing to wait for COSMIC to stabilize and become feature complete, then that is what you should do. For me, I used this delay in releasing Pop 24.04 as an opportunity to try out something different and for the most part, I’m pretty happy with the experience.
Unfortunately, there will not be a release of Pop 24.04 with GNOME before COSMIC is released. In fact, System76 has stopped development of Pop-shell as referenced here:
https://reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1eo59wj/will_xorg_still_be_an_option_in_2404/
Once, Pop 24.04 is released, you will be able to install gnome-session to get GNOME, but it will be the version from Ubuntu and not Pop-shell (though you can install the unsupported extension yourself).
Basically, the development of COSMIC is delaying the release of Pop 24.04… which means the whole distro update probably won’t come until 2025 as the desktop matures.
For this reason, among others, I’ve decided to switch to Ubuntu until COSMIC matures and Pop 24.04 is released.
I think you meant Pop!_OS (is developed by System76). TuxedoOS is developed by Tuxedo Computers, which is a European Linux focused hardware company.
That said, the point stands… there are hardware companies making Linux supported devices.
The default “App Center” does not support flatpaks (only snaps). However, if you install the GNOME software center with the suggested dependencies:
$ sudo apt install --install-suggests gnome-softwareThen you will be able to install flatpaks, debs, and snaps.
If you are using Pop!_OS 22.04, then you are using gdm. You can just create the file if it doesn’t exist.
If you are using
gdmas your login manager, you can put the command in~/.xprofile… which is sourced bygdm3.
For a simple IRC web client, I would also add Gamja, which I self-host along side with the Lounge (mentioned in the article) for a few users.
That said, my primary client is WeeChat and WeeChat-Android.
Hi! Did you read my reply in the other post you made in !system76@lemmy.ml?
Was is this article How to install the Rust Cosmic Desktop environment on Pop!_OS?
Either way, if you want to use the new COSMIC login screen, you can install the cosmic-greeter package:
sudo apt install cosmic-greeterOnce that is installed, you should be able to switch back and forth between cosmic-greeter and gdm3 with:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3and selecting whichever login manager you wish to use.
Looks like Bison > Buffalo… for now.
It looks like you are running XFCE instead of GNOME (the normal Ubuntu desktop). I’m not sure how that happened… but you an always just install another desktop.
For instance, you can try to make sure you have the
ubuntu-desktoporubuntu-desktop-minimalmetapackage installed:After that, the login manager should allow you to select the Ubuntu session rather than the XFCE one.
