I've just tried Blend OS and I have some noob questions

1. Why isn't the KDE screenshot tool pre-installed but Electron25 is? 2. How to I install input methods like Fcitx5 or IBus? 3. How to remove Electron25 and other pre-installed software that I don't need? 4. How do I install Power Profile for KDE Plasma?

system | blendOS

system is a utility that allows you to install and remove system packages, as well as switch between different desktop environments.

The link to the docs was in #📑┃info blendOS is Arch based so use the names found in the Arch repos electron is for the web app thingys iirc I don't use them so I forgot what they are called. iirc means "if I remember correctly" fyi They are called Web Apps

Yw Keep in mind you could have partially found all of your answers in https://discord.com/channels/1068192254365282405/1124217128392855752 As it mentioned the system install command to install the Virtual Box stuff And it linked to the docs

I encountered an error that the docs doesn't mention:

[pc@blend ~]$ blend enter -cn arch
Error: can only create exec sessions on running containers: container state improper
[pc@blend ~]$ bat
Error: can only create exec sessions on running containers: container state improper

[pc@blend ~]$ blend enter -cn arch
Error: can only create exec sessions on running containers: container state improper
[pc@blend ~]$ bat
Error: can only create exec sessions on running containers: container state improper

Should I remove and reinstall the container?

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Does starting it from the GUI work? Or is it affecting both?

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

I tried both GUI and CLI. I opened the container terminal from blendOS Settings but it closed immediately

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Try restarting your computer and see if that does anything @Thuyen Code

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

I did but the problem stills persist

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Try

podman ps -all

podman ps -all

after that tell me what you see.

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

Here's the output:

[pc@blend ~]$ podman ps -all

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

podman start arch

podman start arch

see if that fixes it @Thuyen Code

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

It says: Error: unable to start container "55f42f23ef9e7b81ce60e30e66bf68887032bd776bf2ced9009ac4b074dd151f": crun: setrlimit RLIMIT_NPROC: Operation not permitted: OCI permission denied

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Try using sudo before the command

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

I ran the command with sudo and this message shown up: Error: no container with name or ID "arch" found: no such container

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Can you take a screenshot of the output instead of the text? The formatting was messed up on my end. I assumed that "arch" was the name due to it being mentioned.

@Thuyen Code, you've gained the level 1

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

I sent the screenshot

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Try the command

ulimut -u

ulimut -u

Then give me the output

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

Command not found 🥲

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Ah try

ulimit -u

ulimit -u

I might have misspelled it.

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

It returned 62781

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

cat /etc/security/limits.d/50-podman-ulimits.conf
REPLACEWITHUSERNAME hard nproc 150000

cat /etc/security/limits.d/50-podman-ulimits.conf
REPLACEWITHUSERNAME hard nproc 150000

The username seems to be pc So replace the all caps text with that After that reboot

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

Mine has no such file: cat: /etc/security/limits.d/50-podman-ulimits.conf: No such file or directory But I tried creating a new container and it works perfectly fine

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago

Ah ok

Thuyen CodeOP•2y ago

Thanks for your help btw

·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱•2y ago
