  • I reinstalled from scratch. Went from Xubuntu to minimal Ubuntu with KDE de. And then tried wayland again. One the one hand, gaming performance went up by a lot which was basically my main issue.

    On the other side it is buggy af. The file manager fails mostly at moving files. There are random graphical glitches. Had the whole DE crash/lock up a couple times And the tabbing/tasbar handling is (still) not what I want. I also have still not found out why zfs automount does not trigger.

    But at least I have something useable again!







  • THAT is very shitty. My problem is that after using it for a bit apps start freezing for a split second all the time. Most notable is firefox. The frequency and duration of them increase steadily. Then opening a new program might freeze the system fully (or wait minutes/hours until it unfreezes). It has something to do with memory allocation “according to” dmesg.





  • There is no answer (“Answer: 0”). If you got one it would be obvious because you would see the ip address. Either the DNS entry is not correct or your dig query does not work. I have not queried AAAA with dig myself yet and I am lazy on mobile. But you can try specifying manually using dig AAAA <your hostname> (at least that works with MX, TXT, CNAME and NS) records. (At least from the question section in your output it just says “A”, not sure.)

    Edit: the output of dig is actually quite simple. Lines starting with ; are comments just four your information and improved formatting. Most you can ignore but some are helpful. Most important for you is stuff below your “Answer section” since everything below is, well, the answer for your query. If you do not have one (like in your example) the query did not return any results. This is also stated relatively at the top where it gives you a summary of the numer of queries, answers, authorities, … the request+response contained. There is also the question section (as a comment) which shows an A request, not AAAA. I think that shoud state the query you made which is not what you wanted. (Could be wrong though; never paid attention to that).





  • I have had the bugs with steam not launching games too. However, I can’t remember if I need to kill steam in that case. But I definitely had that happen too. But that is a very rare case that any of that happens. Also, it was not because of a specific game, because after the steam restart it would work. Not sure what the problem is in your case, sorry.

    It is interesting, that you have problems with astroneer. Last I played was years ago and worked fine (ignoring degraded performance), even hot-join multiplayer (joining dedicated would NOT work). Talos principle 2 was a bit finicky to get running for the first time, but then it’s flawless. Please mind that I only use the glorious eggroll proton because it is most up-to-date. From my experience, the chance is veeeery much higher that stuff just works and do not bother with the included proton version steam provides. For every new game I want to play I just select the newest proton-ge I have installed and that is generally sufficient. If not, I quickly defer to protondb because the chance is high, that one poor soul already tried all combinations of proton version and weird config flags. I should have reviews for both games on protondb too.

    I hope you can figure something out. Not sure with your steam client but maybe an ignorable issue if you get the games to work?
