I'm using Heroic launcher to play games lately, otherwise have used Lutris or Steam or Faugus etc. I got Dead Rising 2 and have run into this issue of it won't register (in game) that I'm using a controller, or would like to. In all the other games that I have played on any of these platforms, controller support is wonderful. I'm running CachyOS on my machine, so no issues here either. This particular problem had persisted despite using CachyOS, Nobara, PikaOS, or standard Ubuntu. I'm about to start pulling my hair out as I don't know what's causing this. Everything is up to date, and runs smoothly otherwise. I just can't get this game to let me use the controller I have. It even has settings in game specifically for controllers. What do I do? Thank you.

I'm trying to get my Gamesir T4n Lite controller to work on the PCSX2 emulator to no avail. It works with Steam just fine, but all it says I'm connected to is a keyboard and mouse. It has it's own dongle for Bluetooth, my system doesn't have Bluetooth built in. I'm using Ubuntu 24. I have downloaded xpad and xpadneo drivers, I've done the joystick test, everything. The computer seems fine, all looks well. It's just that the PCSX2 emulator won't pick it up for some reason. If anyone has any way to fix this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

This was given to me today and I'm trying to mess with it to no avail. I haven't been able to root the damn thing no matter what I try. And the OEM unlocking option is absent from the developer options altogether. I have tried trick after trick, gome through step after step, and it just doesn't seem to want to let me root it. I can't flash anything on it without that as far as I am aware. The I try to mess with thw bootloader but the whole thing is in Chinese. I am extremely limited in my ability to read it. I would post pictures but for some reason I'm not able to post pictures on here anymore. But that's a separate issue. Here's some more info on the device: runs Android 4.4.2, kernel is 3.4.67. It's an iDroid Royal v7. Dunno what else I need to add, but I'll say what I can I just want to root the damn thing to play with it further. Thanks.

I have a Western Digital 4TB hard drive, and everything has been going well until recently where I had to move a computer from one room to the next. Everything was turned off and then unplugged to be moved. I plugged it all back in, turned it all back on, and then suddenly it's locked me out. I also previously before putting any data on it (this was months ago now) formatted it to be ext4 for internal use with my computer (Arch btw). Now a thing pops up in Removable Devices called WD Unlocker. I looked for everything to help me. I even plugged it into a Windows computer I had lying around to use the tool. I never put a password on it, so the tutorials were kind of useless and despite running the unlocker .exe it still won't let me access anything on it. The error message I get at the top of Dolphin says an error occurred while accessing mydrive, the system responded: an unspecified error has occurred. Did not recieve reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. I was able to get access to some files somehow like 2 days ago, but now I'm dealing with the same issue, regardless of booting the computer, and cycling on and off, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this. I even tried using a partition manager to see what was up, but it either loads in days amounts of time, or will pull up but not show what could be causing this since I didn't expect any software to be active on it since originally formatting. Please help me. I don't want to lose almost 4TB of stuff just because it's acting stupid on me. I feel like I've tried everything, and the only other answer from looking things up I've gotten was that WD drives are stupid as hell for this specific reason. I'm at my wits end.

Edit: I'll probably use the wifi connection as an indication of power outage:)

I got a UPS that apparenlty doesnt send a shutdown signal when power goes off from the mains. What could I do to let the server know ac power is off and gracefully shut down?

My ups: Powertech ​UPS 1150VA​ Line Inte​ractive PT​-1150LI https://www.skroutz.gr/s/23613693/Powertech-UPS-Line-Interactive-1150VA-690W-me-2-Schuko-Prizes.html

I'm thinking of somehow having a device sending an "on" signal when connected to the mains that when it is interrupted (like, gone for X amount of time) the server shuts down. Then also set my server to attempt to boot up automatically every half an hour.

I have something like this just as a sample starting experiment:

digraph unix {
        margin=0;
        ratio=0.5625; /* 9/16 */
        subgraph cluster_cf {
                label = "imperial Cloudflare empire";           
rankdir="LR";orientation="landscape";/*newrank=true;*/
shitjustworks_philly [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!philly@sh.itjust.works “philodelphia”"];
shitjustworks_philosophy [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!philosophy@sh.itjust.works “Philosophy”"];
philosophycafe_philosophy_cafe_ja [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!philosophy_cafe_ja@philosophy.cafe “哲学カフェ（日本語）”"];
literaturecafe_Philosophy [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!Philosophy@literature.cafe “philosophy”"];
literaturecafe_philosophicalpoetry [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!philosophicalpoetry@literature.cafe “Philosophical Poetry”"];
lemmyworld_askphilosophy [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!askphilosophy@lemmy.world “askphilosophy”"];
lemmyworld_debatephilosophy [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!debatephilosophy@lemmy.world “Debate Philosophy”"];
lemmyworld_indianphilosophy [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!indianphilosophy@lemmy.world “Hehehh”"];
lemmyworld_philos [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!philos@lemmy.world “Philos”"];
lemmyworld_philosophy [shape=rectangle, label="🏰!philosophy@lemmy.world “Philosophy”"];
        }
        123           [shape=rectangle, label="🗽☯!naturalphilosophy@slrpnk.net"];
        123 -> shitjustworks_philly [label="blocks",fontcolor=red,color=red];
        { rankdir=TB; cluster_cf}
}

The problem is that the nodes are wide due to wide labels. So they should be vertically stacked inside the subgraph. But they are horizontally all on the same line, making the graph extremely wide. I have fiddled with various rankdir settings (TB and LR), and tried orientation="landscape". These settings have no influence.

Does anyone know why the "render" of the data would be wrong? I changed it from the US format to the ISO 8601.

Edit: Adding some spaces in the equation helped.

Several different, random seeming files across various different Syncthing folders keep failing to sync even after restart, rescan, and reconfiguration, with the below error

syncing: finishing: opening temp file: open /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Webcam/.syncthing.2024-07-1621:42:30.jpg.tmp: operation not permitted

I don't how how to fix it, the desktop app has the required permissions, and the Android app has as many storage permissions as I can give it under Android's horrible SAF limitations.

It seemed to used to be happening only to some specific old files, but now it's happening to all the new files I add onto my laptop under Videos or Music.

In addition, when trying to sync files with a specific server, it shows as disconnected, even when both are online and connected to the LAN (my phone via WiFi, the server via Ethernet), and there is some error about encryption expectations

2025-06-20 23:33:38: Failure checking encryption consistency with device server for folder "Music" (8ipwu-ehye4): remote expects to exchange encrypted data, but is configured for plain data

The server is running Syncthing GUI on Fedora GNOME, same as the laptop (which does work besides for the first issue), so I don't know what the difference is that would be causing this, not a single file has been synced to the server.

This is honestly making me want to get a Fairphone 5 with Ubuntu touch to get rid of these issues, but I can't do that now.

If anyone could advise, I would really appreciate it!
