After I started up my computer, having updated the last time I used it, going past the log in screen just shows the desktop background for a little bit, before a black screen with just a cursor. The Lock Screen still works if I shut the laptop lid or leave the computer enough, but the screen doesn’t seem to turn off properly when shutting the lid and most keyboard shortcuts don’t work, though I can still go to tty.

I tried updating. I tried reinstalling Cinnamon. That didn’t work, but installed lxde and selecting that at login worked, but Cinnamon still doesn’t.

I eventually found out that right clicking the black screen Cinnamon desktop still works, and I can get windows such as the terminal like that, but the windows won’t move or resize.

Probably just going to do a new install.

I've been using Linux for at least 2 years. I have Linux Mint on my main computer and Debian on my old computer. Trying to apt update says that the connection failed to security.ubuntu.com, deb.debian.org, ftp.uk.debian.org, etc.

Updating directly from sources such as for the Brave Browser still works. Sites not necessary for updating still work. Accessing them through browser doesn't work (It would give a "Connection was reset" error (for Debian) or an error that mentioned DNS (for main computer)). Pinging them seemed to work. Accessing these sites on my phone still works (though it didn't until I accessed them through mobile data and switched back to wifi). Connecting my Linux Mint computer through mobile data to apt update and switching it back to wifi resolved the issue for my Linux Mint computer, but I wasn't able to get my Debian system to connect through my phone.

Any ideas for causes/resolutions?

I have a repository that contains multiple programs:

.
└── Programs
    ├── program1
    │   └── Generic_named.py
    └── program2
        └── Generic_named.py

I would like to add testing to this repository.

I have attempted to do it like this:

.
├── Programs
│   ├── program1
│   │   └── Generic_named.py
│   └── program2
│       └── Generic_named.py
└── Tests
    ├── mock
    │   ├── 1
    │   │   └── custom_module.py
    │   └── 2
    │       └── custom_module.py
    ├── temp
    ├── test1.py
    └── test2.py

Where temp is a folder to store each program temporarily with mock versions of any required imports that can not be stored directly with the program.

Suppose we use a hello world example like this:

cat Programs/program1/Generic_named.py
import custom_module

def main():
    return custom_module.out()


cat Programs/program2/Generic_named.py
import custom_module

def main():
    return custom_module.out("Goodbye, World!")


cat Tests/mock/1/custom_module.py
def out():return "Hello, World!"


cat Tests/mock/2/custom_module.py
def out(x):return x

And I were to use these scripts to test it:

cat Tests/test1.py
import unittest
import os
import sys
import shutil

if os.path.exists('Tests/temp/1'):
    shutil.rmtree('Tests/temp/1')

shutil.copytree('Tests/mock/1', 'Tests/temp/1/')
shutil.copyfile('Programs/program1/Generic_named.py', 'Tests/temp/1/Generic_named.py')

sys.path.append('Tests/temp/1')
import Generic_named
sys.path.remove('Tests/temp/1')

class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_case1(self):
            self.assertEqual(Generic_named.main(), "Hello, World!")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()



cat Tests/test2.py
import unittest
import os
import sys
import shutil

if os.path.exists('Tests/temp/2'):
    shutil.rmtree('Tests/temp/2')

shutil.copytree('Tests/mock/2', 'Tests/temp/2')
shutil.copyfile('Programs/program2/Generic_named.py', 'Tests/temp/2/Generic_named.py')

sys.path.append('Tests/temp/2')
import Generic_named
sys.path.remove('Tests/temp/2')

class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_case1(self):
            self.assertEqual(Generic_named.main(), "Goodbye, World!")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Both tests pass when run individually:

python3 -m unittest Tests/test1.py
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.000s

OK


python3 -m unittest Tests/test2.py
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.000s

OK

However, they fail when being run together:

python3 -m unittest discover -p test*.py -s Tests/
.F
======================================================================
FAIL: test_case1 (test2.Test)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError: 'Hello, World!' != 'Goodbye, World!'
- Hello, World!
+ Goodbye, World!

If I try to use a different temporary name for one of the scripts I am trying to test,

cat Tests/test2.py
import unittest
import os
import sys
import shutil

if os.path.exists('Tests/temp/2'):
    shutil.rmtree('Tests/temp/2')

shutil.copytree('Tests/mock/2', 'Tests/temp/2')
shutil.copyfile('Programs/program2/Generic_named.py', 'Tests/temp/2/Generic_named1.py')

sys.path.append('Tests/temp/2')
import Generic_named1
sys.path.remove('Tests/temp/2')

class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_case1(self):
            self.assertEqual(Generic_named1.main(), "Goodbye, World!")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Then I get a different error:

python3 -m unittest discover -p test*.py -s Tests/
.E
======================================================================
ERROR: test_case1 (test2.Test)

It seems to be trying to import the same file, despite me using a different file from a different path with the same name. This seems strange, as I've been making sure to undo any changes to the Python Path after importing what I wish to test. Is there any way to mock the path? I can't change the name of the custom_module, as that would require changing the programs I wish to test.

How should I write, approach, or setup these tests such that they can be tested with unittest discover the same as they can individually?

The recent stopkillinggames campaign has been my first exposure to UK petitions.

Does anyone know if this has been reported yet, or how long these issues last for?

I’ve been having a go at using Stable Diffusion through Easy Diffusion. I made a png with alpha for img2img, but the transparency seems to be getting replaced with black, ruining the image. I was expecting the transparency to get replaced with noise. Are there any good fixes/workarounds?

• I don’t really want to add my own noise to the input image itself, because wouldn’t that make the randomness produced by stable diffusion useless?
• Could I manually script it to automatically layer the image over the noise, or over the image after a few steps in?
• I don’t have a dedicated graphics card yet, so I’m CPU only.

When I try to turn off Use CPU in settings, it says "No compatible graphics card found!".

During the instillation, I got an error "hipErrorNoBinaryForGpu" which I looked up and found the command export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 which got me through the instillation.

I don't know much about GPUs, so thanks in advance for any help/advice!

I want to create a "gradual colour change" effect in Godot.

eg: some_set_font_color_func(Color8(255,n,n) where n gradually decreases to make the text fade from white to red.

I can't figure out what function I would use in place of some_set_font_color_func to change a font's colour.

Godot themes are somewhat confusing. Given some var var UI:control how would I set the colour of any font(s) contained within that node?

I’m just curious about which is the most efficient way of doing this kind of node enumiration:

for i in something():
    o=[var1,var2,var3,varN][i]
    o.new()
    o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
    add_child(o)

or

for i in something():
    match i:
        0:
            o=var1
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)
        1:
            o=var2
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)
        2:
            o=var3
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)
        N-1:
            o=varN
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)

or

var items = [var1,var2,var3,varN]
for i in something():
    o=items[i]
    o.new()
    o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
    add_child(o)

Or is there a more efficient way of doing it?

Edit: Sorry if that wasn't clear. Is it better to constantly get something from an "unstored list", store the list in a variable, or not use a list and use a match statement instead? Do they have any advantages/disadvantages that make them better in certain situations?

Ah. It's still called cake day over here.
Wasn’t sure if it had to be called something different on Lemmy.

I noticed the updater was incredibly slow today. security.ubuntu.com seems to be down. Is that the reason the updater isn't working so well right now? Why is that the case? It makes it somewhat difficult to apply other updates. Even changing mirrors is incredibly slow and hardly works.

Also, how long does this usually go of for if so?

Update: Seems to be working fine now. Anyone know what happened?

I'd known I had Asperger's practically all my life, but it wasn't until much later that I'd heard it be called "a disability" and I took a lot of offence to it. It looks like this was actually the first meme I ever made.
