  • DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.workstolinux4noobs@programming.dev•qemu/kvm memory question

    It might actually be running out of memory. 16GB are used, and the other 16GB are unusable somehow. Could be a bad RAM stick or bad connection (as mentioned by others), or it could be a memory quota. Run ulimit -a to check the quota.

    However, on my second read, the symptoms do not match up with running out of memory. (can drop to the console, can move the mouse) It could be a problem with the desktop environment. Which DE do you use?

    It might still be a driver problem, with the NVIDIA drivers in general. Try booting with software rendering only, to see if that’s the case.

    Here’s how to disable the GPU drivers:

    Remove “nomodeset” from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable in /etc/default/grub

    Add “rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX instead

    Run sudo update-grub then reboot

    Note: This only works if you’re using the open-source drivers, known as Nouveau. If you’re using the proprietary drivers, this will not work.

    To check if you’re using Nouveau or the proprietary drivers, run lspci and check for “NVIDIA”, then run lsmod and check for Nouveau.

    Remember to change it back when you want to re-enable the NVIDIA drivers.

    (PS: I used this website as a source, their procedure is more complicated, and focused on Fedora.)

    (You could try to patch it at the KFileDialog level instead of the Librewolf level as described above, but then you’d lose filtering systemwide.)

    What would the effects be?

    • File type filtering disabled in “Save” dialogs (what i want)
    • File type filtering disabled in “Upload” dialogs (worse, but still fine for my purposes)
    • Type filtering disabled in the file explorer (not good)
    • Inability to filter by any patterns in the file picker or file explorer (very bad)
    • Something else?

    How would I go about this? Would I need to alter the source code and recompile? What would happen when I update the software?

    Purpose, misconceptions, and XY-problem-protection that I already typed elsewhere

    What I want is to set the default filter to “All Files” for every application that uses the file picker. I don’t want to do it per application. If there’s a setting for the file picker itself, I want to use that.

    It’s not just the save dialog, I mentioned the file selection dialog (for uploading) in the post. The Librewolf “save page as” is just one singular example, not the entire problem!

    “Saving HTML files with their file extension” can still be accomplished if I can see all the files at once. I’m not changing the extension, I just want to see where I’m putting them. There is no reason why viewing all files would prevent me from saving the same file types together.
