I'm using Nobara Linux 44 and it was working fine this morning, but when I went to log back in from sleep mode and tried to create a folder in Dolphin file manager, it says it wouldn't create the file. I close Dolphin and when I tried to open it again, it says "Configuration file "/home/(User)/dolphinrc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator".

I think to myself "Okay, I'll just restart my computer and see if that fixes the issue", but when I restart my pc and log in, I get multiple dialog boxes saying configuration files aren't writable and now nothing will open. Not Dolphin, not Waterfox, not my VPN, not even Konsole will load. I tried hitting the off button, I tried hitting the reset button, I've tried restarting and shutting it down from the start menu (which, of course, puts up the error message), I've even shut down my pc, physically, flipped the off switch on my PSU, waited, and switched everything back on and still the SAME ISSUE.

I didn't edit anything in Konsole or anything else on my system, and the only thing I can think of off the top of my head was I tried extracting the linux version of Brütal Legend from a .zip file I got from DoubleFine's official itch.io page.

I don't know what else to do.

My desktop does not wanna start after login. I did following troubleshooting: https://wiki.nobaraproject.org/general-usage/troubleshooting/black-screen

Everything described works except the last step. When I run startplasma-wayland the command stucks without any error. However when I login as root I can start and switch to desktop with the described workflow. If I would have to make a wild guess I would say its the recent AI wallpapers. I used one and maybe they were not removed carefully enough?

Anyway, since the desktop is working the issue seems to be not that big and I wonder what the script actually runs and how do I debug further from this point?

edit1: I made some progress. I created a new standard user and I could login without any problems. It seems that only the desktop of my original user is broken and not any desktop besides the superuser :)

edit2: Ok, users desktop is accessable again. Not 100% sure what went wrong but seems like a flatpak file xdg-desktop-portal was corrupted.

So, I downloaded an sddm theme (I think it was pixel-landscapes or something), and also installed sddm. However, whenever I use nobara-sync, the sddm seems to get deleted. Is there any way to prevent this, or to somehow use the QML with whatever nobara uses?

For the past few days I have been prompted to update my system. The issue is that the "Graphics stack" is failing.

System Update: Failed command:

System Update: make -j8 KERNELRELEASE=7.2.0-202.nobara.fc44.x86_64 KVERSION=7.2.0-202.nobara.fc44.x86_64

Any thoughts???
