Just ran dnf upgrade (Fedora) and it upgraded some packages and then the alphabet died.
Closing and opening it again “fixed” it, so nothing to worry about, but I’ve never ever experienced this before, lol.
EDIT: Upload feature is broken, so here’s a screenshot…
FFS, I can’t upload the screenshot. I’m getting “SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data”
I think lemmy.world turned off image uploads while they work on mitigating some attacks.
Oooh, that’s right. I forgot about that, but that makes total sense. Oh well, we’ll manage!
On a completely different note, I like your desktop - looks clean! What theme and extensions are you using, if you don’t mind me asking?
Thanks, and sure can! It’s Gnome 44 (naturally) and:
- Icons are “Win10Sur” Link
- Shell theme is “Marble” Link
- Wallpaper (incl. other colored versions) Link
Then I’ve used Gnome extensions like “Just Perfection” to hide stuff like “Activities” in the upper left corner and so on. Other extensions are:
- “Blur My Shell”
- “App Hider”
- “AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support” (like the Mullvad and Telegram icons in the upper left corner)
- “Dash to Dock”
- “Rounded Window Corners”
The terminal is Gnome Terminal with adjusted padding.
Add padding to Gnome Terminal:
Open .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and add this to the file. Adjust the px to your liking:
VteTerminal, TerminalScreen, vte-terminal { padding: 50px 50px 50px 50px; -VteTerminal-inner-border: 50px 50px 50px 50px; }If the file doesn’t exist, then make it yourself.
Thank you, I appreciate it! I didn’t even know about some of these extensions!
Gonna guess that a font was in use when the installer tried to overwrite it with a new version, so it got marked for replacement at the next available time, which is usually a reboot.
But it might have been the case that the deletion request was just taking a long time, or else something decided a reboot wasn’t needed, eventually pulling the rug out from under the font.
Sure, the new font might have been written to the old filename, but the inode will have changed and any programs looking at the old inode will end up reading garbage (maybe being stopped from doing so by the kernel) or being confused because the file there is marked as deleted now.
Presto, no font-o. [][][][][][][][]
