F12 should open the browser developer tools, one panel will be the network requests.

It could be the accepts header then… check if the request includes accetps: application/json

In my experience that is almost always the server returning an html error page.

Start with inspecting that actual response the first character is probably <. The rest of it is likely to be a “not found” or “internal server error” (being the most common) page.

Then look at logs…

Gnome makes absolutely no promises of version compatibility for extensions.

You’re stuck waiting for an extension dev to update to support the new gnome version.

Ah. I figured it was plausible enough to ask for a source rather than out right rejected as bullshit.

I see now that was a “got a source to back up that outlandish claim?”

Agreed. That it’s even plausible is a sad state of affairs.

It’s no less bat shit crazy than what we do have sources for.

That server’s root access is now vulnerable to a compromise of the systems that have the private key.

An alternative, if you have console access, to doing that root password dance, is:

1. Drop to rescue/emergency/single-user mode.
2. Do your changes to the user account
3. Drop back to multiuser mode.

They my go to to quickly triage a problem being caused by SEL or not.

Not quite. But sorta, yeah.

Learning to “not fuck with it” or ways to do so and rollback are valid lessons themselves.

Being able to segregate “production” and “development” environments is very valuable.

Mine are all named for the colour of the case, or case accent when ambiguous, though network infrastructure items are named for their models, being the typical default.

Another theme at another site is native fauna and flora names.

No cringe, no pop culture.

I thought this was a request for Stack Overflow proof.

Then figured that was 'proof from pasting random crap from SO".

Then figured it’s the same thing.

Any distro will be suitable, create yourself as the first user when installing (which will probably be added to the wheel/sudoers group or whatever) then create a new ‘standard’ user.

Most distribution defaults should be adequate.

For added safety, choose one that is immutable like, for example, Fedora atomic.

Huh, all see is *******
