I ended my #ConsoleChallenge and I hope some people will also partake. I made a #Gemlog post on my capsule which describes my experiences:

So the challenge has finished for me and it was an interesting and educational experience. I can only suggest to try it yourself. Have fun!

I started my two days #ConsoleChallenge today (CET) :). I disabled my display manager and my T460s (named sneezy) will directly boot into the console. No X anymore! Hopefully more than one person (me) will partake in this challenge :). But maybe some people will also participate. Would be cool to read other people's experiences in the #console.

I know there are lots of people who have a Console only setup, but for me it's new. So if you're only used to use X or Wayland then maybe you should also try.

It's still the last of February, but I wanted to do the challenge over the full first weekend of March.

I'll end the challenge on monday (2025/03/03) morning with posting a gemlog article about my experiences still only from the console.

That's just what I needed. I did a system update, restarted my PC and can no longer log in. It works directly on #tty, but if I try to edit a file with #vim or #nano, the programs apparently don't exist.

What the hell could be responsible for this? What has such power to cause such damage? I'm annoyed 😤

Das hat mir gerade noch gefehlt. Systemupdate durchgeführt, PC neu gestartet und kann mich nicht mehr anmelden. Direkt an #tty klappt zwar, aber versuche ich mit #vim oder #nano eine Datei zu bearbeiten, existieren die Programme angeblich nicht.

Was zur Hölle kann dafür verantwortlich sein? Was hat solche Macht, um derartigen Schaden anzurichten? Bin genervt 😤

On my new PC the #Linux #TTY doesn't support the ▄ and ▀ #Unicode block characters. It only renders as replacement diamonds. My old #Fedora machine did support those, my new machine is #TuxedoOS (based on #Kubuntu). Anyone having any idea how to get those characters supported? Also is is possible to get more colors supported on the TTY?
I've tried the Fixed and Termius fonts via `dpkg-reconfigure console-setup`, will try Goha next. Sucks that I have to reboot for that change.

Finally pulled the trigger on a purchase I've been umming and aahing about for maybe the last year. I now have a pair of Teli Contact portable acoustic-coupler Telex transmitters on the way, with the matching printers.
I think these are cool not just because they're handheld Telex TTYs, but also because they had crypto onboard... initially DES, but later on a backdoored NSA-supplied algorithm: cryptomuseum.com/crypto/philip

#RaspberryPi users, I need help! After updating my kernel to version 6.6.67-v8-16k+ and rebooting, my MATE desktop environment won’t start. All I get is a blank screen, and Espeakup keeps repeating "black square black square black square." I can SSH into the system, so it’s partially functional.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
• Rebooting the Raspberry Pi.
• Checking journalctl logs for errors (I have a full log if needed).
• Reinstalling the kernel with sudo apt install --reinstall raspberrypi-kernel.
• Ensuring my /boot/config.txt is configured correctly.
Some relevant observations from the logs:
• The desktop environment (MATE) and LightDM don’t seem to start.
• The error vc4-drm axi:gpu: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes appears multiple times in the kernel logs, suggesting a GPU/display issue.
• Services like rpi-connect-wayvnc.service are failing repeatedly.
• Espeakup works in TTY mode, but no graphical interface is available.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to diagnose or fix this without reinstalling Raspberry Pi OS? Could this be related to the kernel update? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!#Linux #Kernel #RaspberryPiOS #MATE #Accessibility #TTY #SSH #Debugging #LinuxHelp #Tech #Technology

Stick that damn prompt at the bottom, middle or third quarter of your terminal!

This secret ninja technique prevents you from dropping an eyeball going back and forth to the top left corner of your screen everytime you open a new terminal.

tput cup $LINES 0
tput cup (math round "$LINES * 1/2") 0
tput cup (math round "$LINES * 3/4") 0

Put one of the upper line at the end of fish, #zsh or #bash config.
