Does anyone here do the "slicing" phase of 3D printing on #Linux? if so, what software do you use for it?
I'm used to #Chitubox but it only has a Windows and MacOS installer. Anyone managed to get that to work on Linux (

It's been a while since I used #Ubuntu. Glad I'm not anymore, otherwise I'd have to search for a new distro now... #aislop

Heute darf ich den #Diday einfach feiern: Im Herbst hatte ich mir einen Rechner mit #Ubuntu zugelegt, der aber nie verlässlich funktionierte und für mich unlösbare Tastatur- und Lautsprecherprobleme hatte.
Am Donnerstag habe ich mir dann

I've just visited the website of #Ubuntu (https://www.ubuntu.com), only to be surprised at how enshittified it became. I mean, that's not a distribution website anymore. Forget "human beings", it's enterprise that matters.

just tried to sudo my my desktop ubuntu and I couldn't. lol. um. that seems not ideal!

RE: #Ubuntu #Kubuntu

Why didn't they call the next Ubuntu release Shonking Shark? 😜

Hmmm.... Guess I need to figure out why my Ubuntu sometimes slows to a crawl and doesn't recover. The mouse can barely move. I end up needing to hard reboot.
Alt control f1 doesn't do anything for me.
I've yet to find an app that will show me important events in a simple way to debug.

I just wrote a prompt that I wrote a batch file for ... 33 years ago.
"Run a full sweep hardware test. Your tool list is ~/tools/list.md"
Here's the book I used back then to create my magic floppy. Now I made a magic USB stick with #Ubuntu and #Codex

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. 😩

2nd time in 2 days ubuntu has frozen and crashed out to the login screen. I need to find some event log and find out what is happening.
#ubuntu

this is exceedingly strange and the only obvious symptom is gtk-keystores failing to open, and a search on those can only suggest creating fresh accounts and copying over from all previous, which is far more work than blowing away #Ubuntu and starting over with #Debian13, but this SHOULDN"T be so mysterious and require such drastic measures! All that happened was perhaps an auto-update, but gdm3 rejects the first login then accepts none further, and gnome-shell --wayland will run, but highly crippled, hotkeys disabled, and many programs will not run.
Today's tech puzzle I did not ask for 😞

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.
