Just bought thinkpad t480 and have some problems with my usb devices: with my mouse and keyboard. Mouse and keyboard just don't work for 1 sec randomly. Fresh installed arch linux.

I want try to install arch(artix) linux for my future t480, but I don't know if it needs linux-firmware package? for good work?

I using sddm and installed awesomeWM. And using /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup for my dvorak layout(setxkbmap us -v dvorak). But after each pacman update or installation my configuration is not working. I'm new to artix/arch, so can you help me?

Hello, guys, I just installed artix and then install awesome. And want to configure it, but have no .config directory. I created it, copied rc.lua from /etc/xdg/awesome/, but it's don't work with it. Only with /etc/xdg/awesome/ dir. Can you help me with it, or I can just leave it like this?

• upd: It was my mistake, because I created .xinitrc using root profile using such command: touch ~/.xinitrc, that why it was created in /root/ directory and caused errors, when I trying to startx without sudo. (I didn't write about it, cause thought that it didn't matter) But now all works right

What do you think? I see that people like t480, but maybe there are other good thinkpads for low price?

I tried i3 and now just wondering, which WM I can pick and why, because of their great diversity. Any advices?

Hello. My friend and I have some problem with decryption messages. Sometimes we receive "Message was encrypted with OMEMO but could not be decrypted" instead of the message itself. What could this problem be related to?

I see the matrix is more popular than xmpp, but why?

For some reason I can't log in to my xmpp server from any account other than my admin account. The client says that registration is only through invitation.

Preferably in a cheap or average price segment. thanks.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to set up a Mumble voice chat server on my home network using a Debian server. As part of the setup process, I need to obtain an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt for secure HTTPS access to the server. However, I'm encountering an error when running the Certbot client to request the certificate.

Here's the command I'm running:

sudo certbot certonly -d mydomain.com

But I get the following error message:

Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

I've checked my firewall rules and confirmed that I've opened port 80 as required for the Let's Encrypt verification process. Here's the relevant rule in my ufw configuration:

80/tcp ALLOW Anywhere

Despite this, I'm still getting the timeout error. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? What steps should I take to troubleshoot further?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have Tecno Spark 10 Pro and would like to install lineageOS or other degoogled firmware, but how can I do this if my phone is not in the list of supported ones?

I have a question about the userdata size item. I set it to 5GB, as I saw in one of the videos. However, I discovered that 16GB in total is available. So what does this affect? Is it possible to use this system fully? That is, does it have any restrictions? And what if I want to reflash it again, or delete this firmware? Is it possible to place several at once? And how many?
