epiPelagic PuckNot sure if anyone is interested, or how I should frame this. A local business let their web site go, and it looks like someone bought the domain name and is using it to scam people. I got a tab that looks like an official microsoft page with a warning, beeping, and a voice saying to call the microsoft number shown (no way) and not to shut off the computer. I shut off computer, waited a few and turned it back on. It didn't even boot, just brought up same page. I brought up task manager, shut down #Vivaldi and it went away. Ran full scan. It was just a scam page, but it appeared that my mouse didn't work, but it worked in TM. Anyone want to look into shutting this down? I just used up what little tech ability I have just to get this far. Site is alumfloinc dot com. Hmmm, tags?

Thank you all for the replies.
It seems that this is a very big ask and not at all simple, nor easy.
I will have a think over it all and see what it is I would want to achieve, and see if there is a priority I should look at that is doable for me.
Or just accept that I am tied to the system.

How difficult is it for a non techy person to change their phone's operating system from Android to one of the non Android OS options?
What is the general process without risk of losing all the contacts, messages, and apps that are already on the phone in use?
I currently have a Samsung A13.
Thank you.

I... need help with a really silly thing.
My phone has been auto-opening the Studio Shirafune website (studio I know, non-malicious) at random for days and I've scanned my phone with 3 different virus scanners, cleared my browser history, closed all tabs, etc. and Nothing. Nothing is fixing it.
There's no strange apps, no files I don't recognise, nothing. I'm at a loss.

Hey y'all. What's up?
I’m trying to install Microsoft Word on Windows but running into issues. Downloaded Microsoft 365 from the official site, opened the EXE, and it keeps saying “could not install.” Anyone run into this before or know a fix?
Also open to alternatives for writing that sync well between phone and computer if Word keeps acting up.

2somethingHi fedi, I am trying to install Void Linux in a virtual machine (as a stepping stone to considering running it as my main distro).
I managed to set up the base system and installed the plasma-desktop and sddm packages, but I cannot actually get Plasma to launch. When I run startplasma-wayland from the tty, I get the following error
startplasmacompositor: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?Note: I manually transcribed the error message from the VM screen, so I might have made a typo.
The same error results whether I am running a user or root terminal.
The [documentation says](docs.voidlinux.org/config/graphical-session/kde.html) that Plasma requires both the
dbus and sddm services, so I went back to the documentation on enabling services to enable both of them. They provide two methods of enabling services:# ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/and# ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/I tried both of these methods in separate copies of my VM, and then verified using sv status dbus and sv status sddm that the services were running. It made no difference: attempting to start plasma gives the same error. I tried using sv to restart both services and it made no difference.Search engines did not yield anything helpful: all the results were
a) Discussions about Arch using SystemD, or
b) Folks asking for help starting Plasma 5 with x11.
Also, most folks asking for help on search engines could already start Plasma manually, but couldn't get it to start automatically on boot. I am not able to launch Plasma at all.
I did find someone with the same question as me from almost a year ago, but no solution.

So what can I do to get Plasma working on Void?
EDIT: SOLVED by @alsorew ! I needed to install the
xorg package despite wanting to use Wayland.#VoidLinux #TechHelp @VoidLinux

Hey, does anyone know if there is a way to get page sync with #Calibre? I have a webserver, but it doesn't remember what page I'm on. Or I don't know how to make it go there.
Bonus if it can be done from within #FreedomBox
Thanks!
