Wired and wireless internet not working metered, yes

[desert oasis]

Hey,

I get this very strange error, where wireless and wired connections are shown and when I connect to them everything seems fine and it even says "connected", but the symbol with the question mark stays and the connections do not really work.. that's it, unless it is a metered connection - which works...

[spare epoch]

Hi @desert oasis are you able to reproduce this on an upstream ublue image?

[desert oasis]

You mean an unmodified .iso image? I tried standard Silverblue and Bazzite and from there all functions normally..

[spare epoch]

No, I'm talking about the container image

if you rebase to an upstream ublue image do you get the same error?

Also, is this in a VM?

[desert oasis]

Where do I get these container images and how do I rebase?

You mean these images: https://github.com/orgs/ublue-os/packages?repo_name=main ? But I would need docker for them, right? Is this the command for rebasing? rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/secureblue/$IMAGE_NAME:latest

I don't have a VM app at the moment, I tried a while ago using Virtualbox and with SIlverblue it just doesn't work... maybe I can try another solution, though.

[desert oasis]

Or maybe you mean these base images? https://archive.org/details/@ublueuploadtest/uploads

[spare epoch]

That command is for secureblue, and no you don't need docker to use rpm-ostree rebase

[spare epoch]

No those are the ISOs

https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/how-to-install-universal-blues-base-main-images/868

[desert oasis]

Okay, so basically, use on of those images from the Internet Archive and then rebase them to Secureblue?

[spare epoch]

No.. the ISOs are not related to this

[spare epoch]

You can follow this to rebase to ublue's main images to check for a repro

You never need to use an ISO once you have an rpm-ostree system installed. Just rebase

[desert oasis]

Yes, once I have a image already installed on disk, I only need to rebase, but if I don't have that yet, I first need to install an ISO on the disk and then from there rebase, right? Otherwise, why both method A, with base ISOs and method B, with one of the official Fedora Atomic Desktop ISOs, say to download one of those ISOs, flash and install them to a disk? I mean with method A one doesn't need to rebase, but still needs to flash and install the ISO to a disk, if one didn't already previously install one, of course.

[idle bramble]

If you have any secureblue, any ublue or any base fedora atomic distro installed on your computer, then you don't need an ISO at all for rebasing, you don't need to do a clean install whatsoever

[spare epoch]

You need to have a Fedora Atomic system installed, yes. But I thought you already did?

[desert oasis]

Yes, I have one installation, but that's pretty stable at the moment, so I don't want to mess with that up, unless I know for sure that I will do will be stable for longer time. So, I prefer install anew, on a new disk, one of the ISOs and then rebasing it. Which is what I did now.

Now the internet connection works, problems are given from some apps like Brave (whose interface starts blinking without apparent reason some times), Librewolf (which some times starts and some times not) and Libreoffice (which doesn't recognise any dark icon-set, apparently..)

[spare epoch]

You're using the brave flatpak?

You are strongly recommended to not do that

And librewolf is firefox based which means it will have issues with hardened malloc

And flatpak themes are managed separately

[desert oasis]

Yes. But now they are all working rather fine. You mean Brave? I mean I don't like it that much either, somehow.. but I didn't find any better alternative on Linux so far. Your hardened Chromium has blurry interface and fonts, so it's not that pleasant to use for longer times. Both Librewolf and Betterbird had issues because of the hardened malloc, but now they are working. How are then Flatpak themes actually managed?

[spare epoch]

Your hardened Chromium has blurry interface and fonts

are you using wayland?

[spare epoch]

using flatpak env variables and flatpak themes

[desert oasis]

I don't know that much about it - do you know any place where one can learn more?

[desert oasis]

Yes

[spare epoch]

strange. are you using fractional scaling?

[desert oasis]

Yes, I think so. My display is 2k

[desert oasis]

Thanks

[spare epoch]

what fraction

[desert oasis]

In the Gnome setting, I set the scaling to 200%. If that's what you mean.

[spare epoch]

ah, that should be fine then

since that's not fractional

[desert oasis]

Using this command works without looking blurry: chromium-browser --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=x11

If I use this other command instead: chromium-browser --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
It still looks blurry

I wanted to change the .desktop file launching Chromium in /usr/share/applications but it seems that even if I use sudo I'm not allowed to edit and saved changes?

[spare epoch]

you can edit the local desktop file in your home directory

[desert oasis]

And where should that be? I searched but couldn't find any..

[spare epoch]

~/.local/share/applications

[desert oasis]

But it's not there..

[spare epoch]

copy it from /usr and modify it as needed

[desert oasis]

It keeps on preferring the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and not the one in my home folder apparently, because if I launch chromium from the console it launches correctly, but if I modify the .desktop file in my home and launch it from the menu, nothing changes..

[spare epoch]

you need to pin it once launched

[desert oasis]

How should I do that in Gnome? Anyway, now it seems to be launching from the .desktop file in my home, but weirdly enough when I launch this way it looks blurred, when I use the same command from the console, it looks fine..

[desert oasis]

Now it works. It required two reboots and not just one, for some reason.

Is there any way to make hardened chromium clean everything on exit? Because I cannot see that option where it usually is..

[idle obsidian]

FYI: XWayland will still be blurry at 200%, 300%, etc when Gnome's framebuffer scaling is enabled (fractional scaling support)

[spare epoch]

ah, good to know thanks

[desert oasis]

Still didn't find any way to make your hardened chromium clean everything on exit.. has the option been removed?

[idle bramble]

I think this option does not exist anymore in chromium

I was mistaken

chrome://settings/content/siteData

[desert oasis]

It does exist in all version of chromium I tried until now..

@spare epoch do you mind letting us know, if this wanted or something that will be changed some when in a forth coming release?

[spare epoch]

@desert oasis what are you referring to

[desert oasis]

👆 This about your hardened chromium

[idle bramble]

This is the solution?

[desert oasis]

Yes, partially, but why it cannot be seen in the options, like in other versions of chromium?

It seems like that latest version removed that as well, true. I'll double check with other versions. The version just before this one had it.. strange. Is it possible to add it back?

[idle bramble]

The option is there.

It is not a partial solution, it is there, it is the exact same option just renamed.
