mobius_slip, in linux mint became super slow

Was this on a laptop? My Thinkpad running Mint slows down a lot when it’s charging, but as soon as I unplug it, it’s fine.

that seems like a bug?

It might be worth checking a resource monitor such as top, htop, or bashtop to see if there’s a process using way more resources than it should

Can 7zip unrar? That’s my go-to form anything compression.

Yes, it can

Only with the unfree unrar plugin.

harsh3466,

Unrar isn’t the problem though. I’ve already installled unrar to read the file in the rar I need to modify.

What I was looking for is rar so that I can modify the text in the file and update the rar archive.

It depends on the type of machine you’re talking about. Pet machines, bare metal or VMs, such as workstations, desktops, laptops are generally upgraded because it takes a while to re-setup everything. Cattle machines such as servers are generally recreated. With that said, creation of such machines typically involves some sort of automation that does the work for you. Setup scripts are the very basic, however configuration as code systems such as Ansible, SaltStack are much preferable. So if I had a VM that runs acme.sh, I’d write an Ansible runbook that creates it from a vanilla OS installation. I stop here for my own infrastructure. When we do this in cloud environments where we need to spin up more than one such VM and quickly, we’d have the OS install and Ansible run in a Jenkins job which builds a VM image that’s pushed to the cloud. Then we spin up ready acme.sh VMs from that image which takes seconds.

    Thank you!! I will try that!!

    @Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

    It can only do that with the unfree unrar plugin. Do not expect your distro to ship it by default due to that issue.

    Damn rat files…

    I just opened a nix-shell with unrar in it on aarch64-linux and am able to execute it, so yes, it can be made to work.

    derphurr, in I'm an idiot (arm)

    unar is the free version and should be in Ubuntu

    harsh3466,

    I’ve got unrar installed already, but what I want to be able to do is add/update files in the rar archives, which unrar can’t do.

    WeLoveCastingSpellz, in Gnome completely different and buggy after update (Debian)

    I rhink you might have seitched from x11 to wayland, logout and you can switch back to x11

    Smorty,

    I only have the options “GNOME” and “GNOME Classic”.

    WeLoveCastingSpellz,

    tey the one that you aren’t using

    Smorty, (edited )

    Tried both already. The issue already shows up on the login screen, so I don’t think it’s gnome

    WeLoveCastingSpellz, (edited )

    your system feels like to me its borked on so many ways

    Smorty,

    So many content? You mean so many levels? While searching for the current download link for Debian 12, I really just couldn’t find the right one I think, so I just went for one which had amd64 and gnome in the title. It was for a CDROM, but I flashed that onto some USB.

    WeLoveCastingSpellz,

    I meant so many ways idk how that got corrected to that, fuck

    Check my new post or comment below, it appears to be a Flatpak issue caused by gtk3. No idea how to fix but I’m getting close to a diagnosis

    taaz, in Trouble with Handbrake, PopOS and Accelerated AV1

    Does handbrake use ffmpeg under the hood? If yes you might want to have a look if ffmpeg can see/use the hwenc.

    xyguy,

    I’ll check the ffmpeg settings. Thanks.

    db2, in Trouble with Handbrake, PopOS and Accelerated AV1

    Check which version of ffmpeg it’s using and whether it has hardware acceleration for that codec.

    Also bear in mind that you can’t hardware decode and hardware encode at the same time on the same device. If that’s what you’re trying to do it’s probably falling back on software silently in Windows instead of telling you.

    ryannathans,

    Why can’t you decode and encode on the same device at the same time? I thought you could do a couple in parallel (but haven’t done so in a while)

    db2,

    Because one process will be running on the hardware, because of the way it works it can’t really share that hardware between processes. I’m not sure if that’s entirely a hardware limitation, but it seems to be enough of one that software hasn’t overcome it.

    ryannathans,

    What if that process had multiple streams to decode/encode?

    xyguy,

    I saw that in the docs. I am only interested in encoding in AV1. My CPU is a 5900x so it’s decent enough at decoding. I’ll check ffmpeg settings.

    flathead, in Remmina not working with Windows 10 RDP anymore

    had issues with Remmima and Win 10 last week - worked around it by using xfreerdp directly at the command line. this is what I use from a linux command line to set the resolution and sound (audio-mode:1 is same as Remmima local sound, or supposed to be)

    xfreerdp /w:1680 /h:1050 /u:<username> /audio-mode:1 /v:<ip address> /sound /microphone

    this keeps all audio local on the system, which is what I need.

    Remmima was working fine until I messed with the settings to see if I could have both local and remote audio with RDP (you can’t) and then I could not get the local audio back no matter what I did - tried deleting profile, reinstalling, etc. Nothing worked until invoking xfreerdp directly. Been flawless since then.

    I'll try that later today

    flathead,

    great - I’d be interested to hear if this works for you.

    BentiGorlich,
    @BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

    using xfreerdp directly did work. Now I just have to find out how to get this working with remmina again, so the UX is not that bad...

    Dockerfile, especially for something like a CLI app like that. Change your dockerfile and rebuild when you need to upgrade.

    atzanteol,

    Yeah, my first thought was “this is doing containers the hard way”.

    lxc and docker are your friends.

    I’m on Debian, but I think I’ve only ever used mine in Librewolf. But I can verify it works fine for me in the browser.
