Had a kernel panic post ready to go

cemi · 2026-05-23 22:23:23

Until your precious forum logged me out and now I have to start from scratch despite my efforts. To no one's surprise, and unlike the vast majority of known linux forums of today, it saved no drafts.

And so, instead of learning why the singlemost vital component of every goddamn unix/linux anything has so little troubleshooting documentation in the Wiki for its newest and (now) preferred method of capturing kernel panics, we can discuss deprecating dinosaur pandering.

I'm surprised there isn't a profile entry for pager details and two-cups-and-a-string specs. A rolling-release distro with a forum that appeals to the cankle in you. Where's the wiki entry for mesothelioma-dkms? If the thought of replacing BBCode with something younger than a bingo tribunal seems unreasonable, know your school is burdensome to this project.

OR, Tiny toast clarifying da best™ wiki is for lecturing, not learning. Unskippable notification in letterhead style, reading "You are presumed knowledgeable" ought to put the trick in geriatric. I for one don't have the heart to tell would-be adopters "user-driven" is Microsoft propaganda.

Assuming I didn't hurt more feelings than were hurt in the creation of this post, I should still have an account by tomorrow, a post on monday, and learn of a solution never thereafter since the folk responsible for the DRM panic handler module think themselves too good for proper documentation. In their defense it's not the first case of something being implemented without having first been thoroughly documented.

Sorry about your experience. I'm not sure why you were logged out, I'd not have expected that to happen. Did your system or browser crash?

We have been looking at updating these forums, but they function and have a wealth of knowledge. We are exploring options that retain that wealth of knowledge and that don't require javascript or other things that require more privilege and loss of privacy than many of us are willing to yield.

Hey, just to mention I face this often... I noticed: when I'm on different workspace or I've opened other/different website(s) and working on it/them for a while on the same browser, I get logged out..
in that case my workflow is: I hit submit; I see "You do not have permission to access this page."; I go back clicking alt + left arrow; I copy the whole draft; hit refresh;login; and post it...

Ignoring the OP as just a generally driveling rant holding exactly zero information about somehow having to repost the kernel panic url being a burden (but in case don't transcribe that manually for gods sake!)…

Lately? Did you say "keep me logged in" when logging in?
I've never been logged out this way - pretty sure one otherwise gets logged out after ("inactive" - what means opening bbs urls since there's no javascript to track your keyboard input) $TIME

Edit: if you say "keep me logged in" and still get logged out there's probably an issue around the cookie jar / auto-cleaning / some browser extension / adblocker

Not lately, I mean it often happens if another tab is open for ex. YT playing music for 10+mins and I come back to post outputs I click submit it happens.
No, I don't tick keep me logged in while logging in, as everytime I click log out it clears that anyway, and keep selecting it has ghost effect, that even I close browser, logged out or reboot, I see myself as online in the online list even after a hour... so I don't check it in. But will try doing that and see if it helps me better than doing that gymnastics...

yes I have Ublock origin (ad blocker) Like for example in Youtube the ublock's pin count increases as number as how many ads telemetary it blocks, however on bbs.archlinux.org it shows zero, I highly doubt that it is contributing in this session time out....

I thought it might be related to the ongoing DDOS, but it's likely just

don't tick keep me logged in while logging in … playing music for 10+mins and I come back to post

I see myself as online in the online list even after a hour

From a browser where you're not logged in?
(Otherwise of course you're online, you just opened the page to look at it )

5hridhyan · 2026-05-24 08:27:34

Yeah, I guess that explains it..

From a browser where you're not logged in?

I used to open the forum on my phone or a clean private window and still saw my username chilling in the "Online" list at the bottom long after I had closed the browser tab on my PC. I guess FluxBB just takes a while to prune inactive users from the active roster

anyways, now I ticked it, and hope FluxBB wont eat my draft just like a T-Rex ate it's last maintainer

I use https://mybrowseraddon.com/tab-auto-refresh.html with FF to refresh the forum index page every 290 seconds.

Haven't been logged out in years.
