@… black screen at ttyv8 after login with SDDM, and no response to Alt-F2 (i.e. I can not use KRunner to run 'plasmashell --replace').
Pictured: VirtualBox after switching from ttyv1 back to ttyv8. I ran two commands at ttyv1:
tail /var/log/messages
service dbus status

@… I've since found if I VNC into my RasPi5 and run Remmina there, it can RDP into Gnome on Pop. The same login credentials fail in every iPad app.

Ghost in the friendly and interactive shell (fish):
I removed a `set -x VARNAME ...` line from my fish config.
Spawning a new shell still had that variable.
I ran `set -e VARNAME`. For the current shell, it's gone.
Spawning a new shell again, I got it back. What..?
Okay, so I closed _all the fish instances_.
And the damn env var came back *again*!?!
Looks like that's because it's my login shell.
A fresh login session no longer had it.

Rano wstaję i patrze, że przyszedł mi mail, że moje hasło zresetowane... No i czuję już, że nie jest dobrze. Otwieram laptopa - uff, sesja nie wygasła - zmieniam hasło. Dzwonię do znajomego - jeszcze nie odbiera. No to chce wejść na dalej wp-admin panel - wywala mi sesje. Co otwieram - wywala mnie. Hasło działa, ale admin panel co kliknięcie wyrzuca.

No to lecimy, rest api, xmlrpc - jest, można czytać/pisać pliku przez xmlrcp. Otwieram sobie furtkę, wchodzę na serwer (swoją drogą do nicz…

Man hätte investieren können, sinnvolle Arbeitsplätze wären entstanden, Innovation hätte uns am Weltmarkt gestärkt nach dem die radikale Fokussierung auf Verbrenner in allen Bereichen uns zurückwirft, abhängt, konkurrenzunfähig macht und wir Wertschöpfung verlieren, aber dafür hätte es diese Bundesregierung arbeiten müssen, ihre Haushaltsprobleme in den Griff kriegen müssen. Aber Team Merz geht den bequemen Weg und zweckentfremdet Geld, um die Füße hoch zu legen.

IW und Ifo: Wirtschaftsforscher werfen Koalition Zweckentfremdung beim Sondervermögen vor
Ein Jahr lang hatte die Regierung die Möglichkeit, ein Sondervermögen für Investitionen in Infrastruktur und Klimaschutz auszugeben. Zwei Institute rechnen nun vor: Das Geld wurde hauptsächlich genutzt, um Haushaltslöcher zu stopfen.

something I didn't need for a Sunday morning: my #Ubuntu 25.10 media machine will no longer login via gdm3 since the last upgrade, I can use a console to run gnome-shell -wayland without issue, but the gdm3 (even re-installed) just returns to the list of users and after the first attempt will no longer offer to enter passwords and hangs.
I did inadvertently leave my keyboard unlocked and two cats in the house left unattended, but it was logged into the guest account, so I doubt they did this 😅
Curiously their snap-edition "firefox -kiosk <url>" now also hangs.
I don't want to spend too much on this: as soon as no.4 son drops by to unlock the broken Win10 and fetch his stuff, I will wipe the thing to install Debian 13 anyway.

No progress at all on this #Ubuntu #GDM login failure issue; I can now only use the machine with a PTS console login, then run gnome-session --wayland, and that gives me only basic function, no access to things like User Accounts.
journalctl only gives these two clues, neither of which yields any meaningful Search results (in 2026)
gdm-autologin][]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user
gdm-autologin][]: pam_unix(gdm-autologin:session): session opened for user guest(uid=1005) by guest(uid=0)
gdm-autologin][]: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock the login keyring.
gdm3[841002]: Gdm: GdmDisplay: Session never registered, failing
but console login proves the user has a perfectly good password! GDM3 fails on the auto-login acct, presents the list of users, clicking one lets you enter pw, then bounces back to the acct list screen and any subsequent attempts are shown a non-functional box to enter their pw and a 'back' button that does nothing. 😩
