Fluchtkapsel<p>Is there a way in GNOME 48 to display all registered global hotkeys? Just yesterday, I upgraded to Fedora Workstation 42. Today, I started Vivaldi the first time after the upgrade and got "spammed" with 4 windows asking for global hotkeys (interestingly with the generic app icon and no helpful window title).</p><p>I thought, I'd find the global hotkeys in the settings app but … 🤷 </p><p>Edit: I should add that this is about the global hotkeys desktop portal.</p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gnome</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fedora</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/gnomeshell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gnomeshell</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldi</span></a></p>
Michiel Scholten<p>No joke, I had this article cooking for almost a decade, and finally came around to actually write it. It's about making GNOME Shell both pretty and functional, and there was some scope creep into configuring handy utilities for the terminal and running applications.

Frehi<p>Anybody experiencing hangs of the user interface in GNOME 48 RC2 on Debian trixie testing/unstable sid unstable?<br>Most of the time some Ctrl-Alt-F1 Ctr-Alt-F2 switching fixes it, but I just had a complete unrecoverable hang (at least not without ssh-ing into the machine), even though Shift Lock was still working, so it does not appear like the kernel had crashed.

Jeff Fortin T. (風の庭園のNekohayo)<p>My dad, who is constantly bored, is a talented home improvement hobbyist craftsman. Can fix up pretty much anything.

With the upcoming <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gstreamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gstreamer</span></a> 1.24.6 release all currently known bugs are fixed, even though I kinda expect more to come on some multi-GPU setups.<br>It's about time that we use hw-enc in more places by default and the screen recorder is IMO in a pretty good spot to role things out: on one hand it's used by many people, ensuring we get bug reports, while OTOH its functionality is not crucial.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gnome</span></a></p>
