So mbit/s instead of Mbit/s ? But the M in Mega is always capitalized though, except the k in kilo.

Why don’t people use Mb/s and MB/s which makes it so much clearer what you’re talking about

So I finally did it. Results?

First was unable to shrink in windows due to a bunch of reasons, but I overcame them: hibernation file, page®file, and other bullcrap.

Finally, I could shrink. Then, a fatal error in the shrinking process. I ignored it. Waited few minutes and the disk seemed to have shrunk after all. Weird.

Then proceeded as planned. GParted the rest. All is working fine now!

Moral of the story? None.

I’m not sure whether this is equivalent, but the free space was on the left of the root partition, so I first moved the root partition to the left of the free space, then extended it to the right. It probably took twice as long. And maybe the risk is the same, I’ve no idea

But is that still recommended on an ssd? Defragging for higher success of shrinking an active partition?

weirdly enough I feel the same. Maybe those were the WinXP times

I thought so too, but apparently you can. I saw people on youtube do it on their active C partition

depends heavily on amount of data and cpu speed. I wouldn’t wanna interrupt though

I see, thanks. I’d love to use Win in a VM but I doubt it’s as flawless as on metal. For example, would WebSerial API work as well? Idk, maybe.

What is the system32 equivalent in linux

Asking the real question here. I hope there is a one way solution per application. But I doubt it. I hope you don’t get the usual answer that it’s “absolutely necessary” for security.

Same setup but with gnome. My video screen recorder broke: simplescreenrecorder for which I have not yet found a solution.

Also Mathpix anyone familiar? Just straigh out don’t work

it only happens after reboot. And after that there is no problem at all

Does the keyboard work as expected if you switch to a text console (eg. Ctrl+Alt+F2)?

I’ll try as soon as possible. But I do need to mention it only occurs at the login screen, not the lock screen. Perhaps this rules out package or extension issues, but I’ll try reinstalling libinput either way, and fiddle with 3rd party extensions. Thanks for your reply

so I kinda solved it by switching to Wayland. Not sure it lasts since im on proprietary nvidia drivers

I’ll assume you mean Manjaro here – Arch doesn’t hold back packages.

ouch, yes, my bad

I think I kinda solved it by installing Wayland. It seems to work, even on my proprietary nvidia drivers

no idea what caused it. The other 2 apps I installed were (if I remember correctly) "Dilithium” and “Latice-based-cryptography-main”. But since I installed Wayland (instead of using Xorg), everything seems to work now…

Question 1: what’s in your .xinitrc?

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ei9hajgzugfs4qnmg9r1f/h?rlkey=bnedoohvpuilvuzqvgmhi7pda&e=2&dl=0

It also contains the logs people mentioned I should check. The Xorg.0* files are from the day of the crash, and 2 days later, when I booted again, the other files were created: Xorg.1*

Question 2: why are you starting X this way?

I was under the impression that startx would just start the GUI regardless what display manager I use (lightdm? not sure), or display server (xorg, x11 in my case) I have installed.

EDIT: it took me wayyy too long to copy these files. Apparently ls -lh does not show hidden files … I thought my whole laptop went nuts.

it doesn’t sound like you’re an advanced user.

You’re god damn right

I didn’t uninstall lightdm. I was under the impression that startx would just start the GUI, regardless of what “engine” it’s running on.

It said I not found or something. I’ll try again tomorrow for full error message
