Go figure

What are you reinstalling? New haos on old kvm? Old haos on new kvm? New deployment?

From the logs I read that your user chris has no rw perms within the haos.

Thanks. I reinstalled the app, cleared data and cache, but it was still unable to stream any content. Then I noticed the chromecast was acting weird, it was lagging, it was getting very, very slow connection speed, like if it was applying updates or running maintenance, I don’t know for sure. I checked again next day, and now is is working as expected.

If not for the fact that I really like the form factor of this device, I would ditch it.

Otoh, the logs are in the post, maybe your client is not rendering > markdown < properly.

Three eights of a teafuck if you ask me

I somehow missed this to be a flatpak via Discover. Granted this may not be usual in distros with a traditional update model, downgrading packages may be present in rolling distros, or distros with overlapping minor versions, or having 3rd party repos providing conflicting packages to those of the distro.

I offer my system as example:

The following product is going to be upgraded:
  openSUSE Tumbleweed  20240211-0 -> 20240313-0

The following 14 packages are going to be downgraded:
  ghc-binary ghc-containers ghc-deepseq ghc-directory ghc-exceptions ghc-mtl ghc-parsec ghc-pretty ghc-process ghc-stm ghc-template-haskell ghc-text ghc-time ghc-transformers

It is called “downgrading”, and it is not uncommon to have some packages downgrading when updating/upgrading a system, due to several reasons.

That is why I also mentioned the latch/sensor, it may got stuck.

It sounds like the issue is with the lid latch/sensor, not with the graphics. Some laptops may not boot if the lid is closed, and some have options on the firmware to enable to boot when the lid is closed / on a docking station.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way

Yes. Don’t.

With vbox I don’t think you can do that, nor with any other hypervisor delivering full virtualization. You could try with a paravirtualization, like Xen, and see if you can trick the OS

Note that I don’t know if windows is supported as a paravirtualized guest.

For the displaylink, are you using the drivers provided by Synaptics? The driver itself is not opensource, so I doubt you can find it on your distro’s oficial repos
