Thanks. I'm going to leave it for now, hoping they add a URL. They copied this thread and oddly took the time to improve the formatting. --pjp

Post: post 8642247
Reason: New user. Quoted a post and inserted color-disguised link spam in the quoted block. I mangled the link spam for now, and responded in thread. This user bears watching.

User: Comrade_Stalin
Topic: UEFI won't Detect GRUB on NVME SSD
Post: post 8658780
Reason: User name

[Moderator note: this is discussed at some length in Filtering by username. Also, given that you disagree with the username, it would make more sense to use Report this user from the user's profile page, than to report a specific post by that user. As of this note, there has been no resolution reached. I will leave this report here until that discussion thread reaches a conclusion, one way or the other. -Hu]

User: ndb2020
Reason:
I haven't locked in for a while an I couldn't remenber password and username. That's why I registered with this name "ndb2020" again. Now I have found my old user "ndbg2" and reactivated the account.

I would like to keep "ndbg2".
email: Removed by Neddyseagoon
You could delete user "ndb2020".
email: Removed by Neddyseagoon@gmail.com

I hope this is the correct way. Couldn't find a possibility to delete my account somewhere.

An email to forum-mods@gentoo.org is preferred. Thats public and we get lots of spam anyway, so posting it here again won't make any difference.
We cannot delete used accounts bu if you write to the above address we may be able to merge them. -- NeddySeagoon

-- edit --

Your unused account is disabled. The unused account reaper will remove it in the fullness of time.

There seems to be a conflict between pulseaudio and pipewire. For now I made the quick solution of not starting pipewire by moving /etc/xdg/autostart/pipewire.desktop. Log out, log in, eventually 'killall pipewire' and that's it.
