  • I don't know if it's the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch sudo software-properties-gtk or sudo software-properties-qt from a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab 'Additional Drivers'. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.

    Apologies if this was obvious 🙏

  • Great to hear! All's well that ends well :)

  • As @tal@lemmy.today reports, it's a known bug. If you disable UBlock and possibly Decentraleyes, then navigate to a page, then re-enable them, navigation should then work normally, at least for a while.

  • Now I understand, thank you for the explanation!

  • Thank you again! I'll investigate :)

  • They can be useful, used "in negative". In a physics course at an institution near me, students are asked to check whether the answers to physics questions given by an LLM/GPT are correct or not, and why.

    On the one hand, this puts the students with their back against the wall, so to speak, because clearly they can't use the same or another LLM/GPT to answer, or they'd be going in circles.

    But on the other hand, they actually feel empowered when they catch the errors in the LLM/GPT; they really get a kick out of that :)

    As a bonus, the students see for themselves that LLMs/GPTs are often grossly or subtly wrong when answering technical questions.

  • I'll do so.

    May I ask you one more thing? I see that DNS0.eu speaks about setting their DNS resolvers in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. Do you know what's the difference between specifying the DNS there, and specifying it in the network configuration (for instance in Ubuntu, IPv4 -> Method = Automatic (Only addresses) & DNS Servers = [list])?

    Much gratitude!

  • Thank you so much for the clarification and for the very useful link!

    I'll edit my original confused post – or maybe delete it altogether.

  • Thank you for this comment. So Unbound does only DNS caching, without really resolving? I think I've completely misunderstood its purpose.

  • What I wanted to achieve was independence from CloudFlare and other DNS resolvers. But I think I've completely misunderstood what Unbound does!

  • Cheers, will look into it! I think I'm very confused as to what I want...

  • I'm starting to think that I've misunderstood what Unbound does. I thought I'd be a replacement for a DNS resolver (like CloudFlare). But from the replies here I'm starting to think it isn't?

  • Thank you for the warning! I'll know it's expected then :) In my case I'd like to use it more or less independently of the network I'm in, that's why I'd like to take a single-machine approach.

  • Thank you, I see the advantages of a network approach. In my case it's just two laptops in my network, and I'm also thinking of the case when I'm using the laptop in some other networks.

  • X1 Carbons of several generations have been notorious for their Thunderbolt defects, which appear after a while. For instance this or this (sorry for the Reddit links), and there are others related to connecting to screens. Right these days I'm dealing with the Thunderbolt-charging defect in my Gen 9. Luckily still under warranty.

    Best of luck with your problem! I suggest you use your warranty if still active (and better with on-site assistance than sending the thing).

  • [also @sainth@lemmy.world] Overall I agree with you, drivers are generally well-usable even if not OEM, which is fantastic. But yes I do notice small glitches that OEM drivers do solve, an example is trackpoint vs touchpad interference.

    Actually I must try to install by hand the old OEM driver (for Ubuntu 20.04) in the new 24.05, and see if it works. I hope I won't break anything...

  • Cool! I missed this one, thank you! I can wait. Unfortunately Framework don't ship to my country, but I could make a trip to a neighbouring one where friends live :)

  • Thank you for the vendor names! I'll check out if they offer anything with stylus.
