nrab, in What distro(s) do you use?

NixOS everywhere (except for one server which I have yet to migrate from Rocky to NixOS)

eighty, in Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political!

I can relate to the “how the fuck is being a concerned human being extreme/poltical?” energy in the post hard.

Hiro8811, in I made a mistake **RESOLVED**

We’ll dunno much but wouldn’t the UUID of the drive partition change?

I don’t believe it does, if It does though I can report back

lemmyvore,

If you resize the partition? No, the UUID gets allocated when the partition is created and stays the same for the lifetime of the partition. It only changes if you explicitly change it manually. Which is something that’s only needed very rarely.

For example I had to do it when I migrated my root disk to a larger SSD by cat-ing the entire disk to the new one and I wanted to keep both connected for a while (so I can boot into the old one in case anything went wrong). I had to change the UUID of the partition on the new disk but I still ran into some obscure grub issues and had to boot a system rescue live stick into the new disk to update grub properly. Overall it’s not a very good idea, in the future I think I’ll stick to rsync -avx root into the new partition.

4am,

Wait you can cat an entire device to another like that? I’ve always been told to use dd

ShortN0te,

In my case it actually changed after i resized it. It was unexpected and broke my system. After i adjusted the UUID in the boot config it worked again.

lemmyvore,

That’s really unusual and yeah I can see how that would surprise you. What tool did you use to resize it?

ULS, in Linus Torvalds interview Reader's Digest - 2001

Yeah… But his real article was on page 86.

Sethayy, in Multiseat gaming with two identical RTX 3060s on EndeavorOS

Not sure if it’ll solve the issue but you could try docker/podman with x11docker to separate the 2 instances (ie only allow them to see 1 gpu/peripherals), cause it seems like theyre stepping on each others toes rn

bjoern_tantau, in The 9 Smallest Linux Distros That Are Super Lightweight
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Reminds me of the fli4l project. Floppy ISDN for Linux. It used to be an entire Linux installation to use as a router that fit on a 3.5" floppy disc. I had it breath new life into an old 486 PC I had lying around.

Petter1, in Firewall preventing Printing/Scanning on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

As I understand this article ( linuxconfig.org/how-to-monitor-network-activity-o… ), you can disable firewall and run “sudo netstat -tulpen” to get a list of all connections and find which ports need to be forwarded.

Hiro8811, in Linux file transfer speed bottlenecks?

Are the drives encrypted?

some_guy, in How to get Nobara to STOP overriding my Firefox homepage??

I think I saw this question days before with a different title and less answers? Is that you? If so, glad you got help here.

SheeEttin, in How to see CMUS logs / get info for bug reports

I have no idea what CMUS are but you can check previous bug reports, or just open a bug report and ask what they’d like to see.

Hammerheart,

Thanks, thats a good idea. Its a terminal music player, perfect if youre the kind of person that just likes being in the terminal

Mac, in Problems on problems - Mint can't see my wifi card.

I’ve tried Mint multiple times and never got WiFi to work lol

n2burns,

Interesting, I’ve never had any issues. Have you had better luck with other distros? What WiFi card(s)?

Mac,

I gave up and simply plugged in so i don’t have good infor for you, sorry.

Montagge,

Mine wouldn't work with the proprietary driver installed but worked without it lol

UID_Zero, in xfsdump questions
@UID_Zero@infosec.pub avatar

I read the man page, but I didn’t see the answer to your question in there.

I am assuming that it would only dump the root filesystem in your example. Other mounted filesystems like /home or /media, if they’re separate filesystems, probably aren’t included. You’d have to run a separate dump for each one.

Best option to find out is to try it and see what happens. No better way to learn than by doing.

neidu2, (edited ) in xfsdump questions

It will not. Xfsdump only dumps the xfs partition, and any mountpoints are treated as empty folders (which they kind of are).

tubbadu,

ok got it, so /home will be backupped and /media will not, correct? thank you very much!

neidu2,

Assuming that /home resides on the same filesystem, and is not a separate mountpoint, yes.

bizdelnick, (edited ) in Use YAD/Zenity dialogues to populated variables in a bash script?

Try something like IFS=‘|’ read f1 f2 < <(zenity <…>) where f1, f2 etc. are variable names.

linuxPIPEpower,

If you leave some of the field blank will it be able to skip assigning the respective variable? That’s one problem with the positional values.

somethingsomethingidk, in Use YAD/Zenity dialogues to populated variables in a bash script?

I have an array based solution but it doesn’t solve the cases of changing the order or empty fields.
