Of course, you don't have a NVIDIA card and still it's asking for it. For much they will mark it as invalid but will point you to find the cause of the problem.

You can just revert to the previous version while you find out what it was.

I fear posts like this can cause a Streisand effect. How about not giving free publicity to that stuff.

Now that there is people jumping in to bash op as if they were the only in the wrong for failing to provide full technical details and using a defiant tone while doing it but not even mentioning they got replies 1000x worse and the bug was closed as "invalid" just because of that, let's not skip over the fact there's still a lot of toxicism in the Linux community and the mere fact that there is now a "r/LinuxUncensored" sub (TIL) speaks volumes.

I've felt sometimes here on Lemmy there are people who want to bring that toxicity and superiority complex over here. I hope they desist on that. The world is already too hostile. We can do better.

By translating that string it says it is missing that file (libvdpau_nvidia.so) so if you're actually using an nvidia card you'd want to check on that.

For the time being I'd try running it under X or running it from Konsole by doing something like

QT_QPA_PLATFORM="xcb" kid3

or

QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland" kid3

I miss that world when XMPP was king and almost everyone was just using whatever frontend for it and there were no "we're moving to our own privative, closed source protocol because security and features" cheap excuses so everyone could message everyone :(

Hey @mentaledge@sopuli.xyz, just so you know this was the last time the bot posted a C&H strip in here. Hoping everything is fine there

Knew about Linux back in 2006 with Ubuntu 5.10, it had Gnome 2 which at the moment was great.

But for some reason its devs decided they knew much more than their users about how to use a DE so they imposed a lot of groundbreaking changes so for a time (some months) I used Xfce and then moved to KDE like in 2009 or so (I think it was late 2008). At the time there was the KDE4 shitstorm but imho it was nothing compared to what Gnome 3 did (i.e. Plasma was way more customizable than now, there was stuff that never came back like window tabs and one-wallpaper-per-virtual-desktop things...).

All in all nowadays KDE is for me much more stable and suited to my day-to-day needs than Gnome 2, not to even speak about what Gnome 3 turned out to be.

However I reckon today's Gnome has evolved a lot since its 3.x days and I suppose it should be amazing for the people who happen to like its way to do things, it just happens it's not for me.

You know, if ubuntu proposed to be a serious distro again it would rename itself to UwU

Thank you for this post, it happens I'm actually eyeing a redshift suspension seatpost. Have heard positive reviews about them though everyone seems to agree it's not like you'd get the suspension level of a double-suspension bike.

Though now that you mention you're thinking about your steel tourer it makes me wonder if you have considered one of those brooks-type of seatposts that have springs on them that act like a bit of suspension.

I feel like the punishment/weight ratio is rather logarythmical, as in it increases with route steepness but not in a linear way - you'll start noticing it on really steep gradients and with tiredness.

If you have a somewhat decent shape and don't ride over too much steep gradients I'll say just keep the steel fork. It's cheaper if you just lose a kilo yourself than in your bike. And depending on the builder, steel frames and forks can feel as flexy if not even more than carbon.

I used old inner tubes to prevent water leakage in several hoses at home and for covering a lock from the elements
