- Comment on How do I disable the file type filter in KDE's file picker? 6 days ago:
Thanks! That’s a lot of info, looks useful.
When I said “XY problem”, was that a “shibboleet”?
- Comment on How do I disable the file type filter in KDE's file picker? 1 week ago:
(You could try to patch it at the KFileDialog level instead of the Librewolf level as described above, but then you’d lose filtering systemwide.)
What would the effects be?
- File type filtering disabled in “Save” dialogs (what i want)
- File type filtering disabled in “Upload” dialogs (worse, but still fine for my purposes)
- Type filtering disabled in the file explorer (not good)
- Inability to filter by any patterns in the file picker or file explorer (very bad)
- Something else?
How would I go about this? Would I need to alter the source code and recompile? What would happen when I update the software?
Purpose, misconceptions, and XY-problem-protection that I already typed elsewhere
What I want is to set the default filter to “All Files” for every application that uses the file picker. I don’t want to do it per application. If there’s a setting for the file picker itself, I want to use that. It’s not just the save dialog, I mentioned the file selection dialog (for uploading) in the post. The Librewolf “save page as” is just one singular example, not the entire problem! “Saving HTML files with their file extension” can still be accomplished if I can see all the files at once. I’m not changing the extension, I just want to see where I’m putting them. There is no reason why viewing all files would prevent me from saving the same file types together.

- Comment on New Linux Flaws Enable Full Root Access via PAM and Udisks Across Major Distributions 7 months ago:
TLDR:
The new flaws are CVE-2025-6018 and CVE-2025-6019.
The first is a vulnerability in PAM. The second is in libblockdev.
The PAM vulnerability only affects SUSE Linux systems, other distros are not affected.
Vulnerable versions of libblockdev are 2.25-2 and 2.28-2, newer updates have it fixed.
- Comment on Do AppArmor and Flatpak have any weird interactions? 8 months ago:
If the applications are installed for a single user, then the executable will be different for each user. This means that one user runs the app with an Apparmor profile, another user runs it unconfined.
- Comment on Do AppArmor and Flatpak have any weird interactions? 8 months ago:
Doesn’t Flatpak store separate applications for every user? I could see that causing trouble (the Firefox profile only confines on Alice’s account, Bob runs it without any Apparmor profile)

- Comment on Encrypted home partition doesn't decrypt on boot 1 year ago:
That’s the first thing I tried! No effect at all. Even when I enter a wrong password, nothing happens. It doesn’t echo, but I think it wouldn’t echo anyways.
Also, there’s not enough text that comes after decrypting the root for anything to get lost in the scrollback buffer.
- Comment on Encrypted home partition doesn't decrypt on boot 1 year ago:
Fresh new installation, but I can mount the home partition manually and continue booting.

- Comment on Timeshift crashed my desktop! 1 year ago:
Can’t run any commands now. I tried to restore a backup from a different utility, ended up deleting all the config files. System went down, had to reinstall.
- Comment on Timeshift crashed my desktop! 1 year ago:
I tried deleting the old backups, it still takes about a minute to complete the snapshot. I think it only limits weekly backups, and manual backups are unlimited. Weekly backups are completely fine, and manual is where the problem lies.

It happened on X11 and Wayland.
