I've only recently mustered the courage to wipe my 22.04 before doing a fresh install of 24.04. And boy oh boy was I surprised. Slick, perfomant, stable, no frills, customizable — absolutely everything I'd want out of a DE. Cosmic hit the ground running and personally I wouldn't be surprised COSMIC or PopOS would see a huge spike in popularity in the near future. I'll recommend it to everyone I know anyway. Preaching to the choir here or do you disagree?

Applied the most recent update (the one that removes system76-acpi-dkms) and on two separate machines when I log back in, cosmic-panel fails to launch, with this message spamming the logs:

If I do a pkill cosmic-panel you can see it flash briefly and then do the same thing. I've tried removing the entries file from .config/cosmic but that didn't change anything.

Other stuff, like workspaces, shortcuts like Super+T, etc. all work fine, so the machine's usable. It does seem to be pegging one CPU core though.

It's not on every machine though - on at least one other machine I updated, there were no issues.

Hi everyone,

Recently, Steam overlay support for Wine Wayland was added in Proton-GE 11.6, but whenever I open the Steam overlay, my cursor isn't visible, and I can't select anything even with the keyboard. I can't interact with it at all. My friend tested it on GNOME with the same game and it worked fine, so this probably has something to do with COSMIC rather than it being an issue with Proton-GE? Does anyone have the same issue? and is there a way to fix this?

EDIT: I tested it again cursor is invisible I can interact with something if I hover that invisible cursor on something that I want? I was able to open the chat and I can type fine but cursor is invisible?

I found a fix using ProtonCachyOS-Wineland fixes it. I don't know why Proton-GE behaves differently but proton wineland fixed it for me.

i mean driver version

stuck at 595.84

I've been happily using Pop! for a few years.
I've just tried to install it on a new (for me) used laptop that I recently acquired but I can't because the installer is incorrectly reporting that the internal 128GB NVMe drive is only 14.1GB and therefore too small.

After a lot of head scratching, I did some Googling and this apparently has something to do with the Pop!OS installer miscalculating the size of disks that use 4096-byte sector block sizes.

I'm not techie enough to understand what that means but I've read multiple reports of the issue dating back as far as 2019.

Since this problem appears to be exclusive to Pop!OS (and not found in other linux distros,) is there a particular reason why the developers have chosen not to fix the issue? And is there anything that I can do to get the installer to proceed?

Hi all, I updated my System76 computer to Cosmic a few weeks ago, and I am not able to access my terminal or the app store (formerly Pop!_Shop)? I am not quite sure how to fix this as all potential solutions to me would go through the terminal, which I cannot use. For reference, this is what my app looks like when I try to click on it from my dock:

It's just a grey box with the little gear icon. And then when I try to click on it, nothing happens. Same with CosmicTerm. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated because otherwise I love Pop OS / System76 and would love to be able to access the terminal / app store!

Thanks!

My swap partition accidentally changed so I modified the /etc/fstab and have done an "update-initramfs -u" to update the initramfs to reflect the change. The boot sequence however is still attempting to hit the old swap partition and creating a 90 second delay in the boot process.

I'm using Limine as my bootloader. There is no /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file. I even tried to create one with the correct entry but the boot is still pointing to the old swap partition. the update-initramfs command is updating the initramfs on both the boot and the efi disks. It also shows the correct UUID on its output.

Is there some other location in which PopOS would be hanging onto the old swap partition information? I can't seem to figure out where it's maintaining this information.

I have an older computer running Pop_os to primarily act as my media server. Today I got some new videos files and when I when to move them to the drive that holds all my media it wouldn't let me copy to the drive saying it was read only.

After some tinkering around I discovered that the drive is owned by "root" and even though the account I'm logged into has full sudo privileges I can't copy or edit anything on the drive now.

The drive is an old NTFS drive from when the computer had windows for an OS and is set to auto mount so I don't have to do it manually (or even log in) when I turn it on for streaming.

I tried adding the login account (uid/gid=1000) through through the disks app. Still nope.

The only thing I can think that could have caused it is that I put Windows 10 on the computer briefly to run a program that doesn't have a linux version, but the drive with Pop OS wasn't even installed when I did it. I had a clean drive just to test the software. The media drive was still in place, but so were the other three drives and they all work fine.

Any ideas why root took the drive or how to fix it?
