  • Ooh, I know this one! Here’s what I did to get it working and set so it survives a reboot:

    1. In a terminal, run sudo arandr
    2. Set all of the monitors to 1080p
    3. Close arandr
    4. Go to Settings > Display
    5. Rearrange monitors in correct order if necessary
    6. Set the each monitor to the correct resolution and frequency, applying the settings after each update
    7. All monitors should now work, BUT they will not survive a reboot in Pop-OS 22, because the GDM3 login screen will NOT have this information, and will reset everything. So we must copy the pop-os monitors.xml file to the gdm3 config directory:

    sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm3/.config/

    Note: You may need to do this as sudo -i

    1. Reboot, and all 3 monitors should be loaded in the correct positions, at the correct resolution at the login screen

  • I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

    Numbers and letters over the years:

    “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”

    Galations 5:14

    “Be genial, sweet and kind towards your companions.”

    Mino-ī-Kherad, II.7

    “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”

    Jeremiah 4:22



  • You may want to give it another shot. They’ve been working pretty hard to move away from config files - much more is done via the GUI these days to make things more user-friendly.

    The devs have also really been focusing on voice this year as well - it’s been really interesting to see what they come up with. A few releases back, they released an update that allows you to give voice commands to HA via a landline phone hooked up to a $30 VoIP box. There is also support now for Espressif’s new “S3-Box” devices, which have small screens, a speaker and a few microphones for under $50 - this does require messing with yaml files at this point, but I should be able to finally ditch my Echos soon!
