Is there a winamp clone?

ozoned, (edited ) in [Resolved] Debian 12: trying to auto-mount a NTFS-formatted hard drive by making an entry in fstab. Getting the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 18 -- ignored"

You’ve made a directory path literally called

/media/lucky/New Volume

?

That REALLY doesn’t seem like a good idea considering that *'s are wildcards for anything, and Linux isn’t really fond of spaces.

The error basically tells you that you have an error on line 18, which I’m assuming is this line you’re stating and that it’s ignored that line so that it can still go on and mount other things.

Most likely you’d want something like:

# mkdir /media/lucky/NewVol

and then your fstab would be:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/NewVol ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types? I haven’t run Windows in 17 years now, so I don’t have a clue if Linux can natively handle NTFS.

You can also run:

# lsblk

or

# blkid

to get the storage information and verify the storage UUID is correct.

There are no asterisks in the fstab file. I put them here to emphasize the name of the hdd (I edited my original post to remove them to avoid confusing people).

Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types?

I’m using the ntfs-3g driver.

Btw this is what the entry on fstab looks like now but I’m still getting the parsing error:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 “/media/lucky/New Volume” ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

ozoned,

But you have a space in there. I don’t know how spaces are handled in fstab. You’ll either need to quote it or at least escape the space:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 ‘/media/lucky/New Volume’ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

OR

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\ Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

The space is absolutely an issue in fstab as it’s thinking “Volume” is the filesystem type and ntfs goes into your options, etc.

Instead of using spaces or quotes (single or double), I used `

The people from Charm ( GitHub ) make some really cool programs. My favorites are Glow - markdown renderer, and Gum - tool for adding interactivity into shell scripts

Not sure if the PineTab would be a good choice

art, in Is there any way to emulate aegis authenticator (fdroid) on an ubuntu based computer?
@art@lemmy.world avatar

You might be about to just run a native 2fa application like Authenticator.

Outside of that, Waydroid is an option.

I use apple music. On linux I use Ciderwhich is amazing. Super clean interface and lots of nobs to turn in order to make everything sound and behave the way I like. If you like apple music or are looking for a streaming solution cider is awesome.

DeaDvey, in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

Not specific to Mullvad, but you can use flatpak or your distro’s package manager (probably apt) to install programs, On Ubuntu, you can open the software program and search the programs to install it, that should be the first thing to do when you want to install something rather than going to the website.

FuckBigTech347, (edited ) in Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?
@FuckBigTech347@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Firefox does sandbox everything but vulnerabilities exist and sometimes go unnoticed for a while before they’re discovered and patched. If a malicious script does manage to escape the sandbox it will be able to do literally anything to the system since it has root privileges. It would have full access to any device that’s in /dev, it could create, modify and delete udev or iptables rules, it could mess with the BIOS since the kernel exposes EFI variables, if the mainboard has re-writable flash chips for the firmware it could write malicious code to them since they may show up in /dev, etc. If any of this makes you uneasy then you probably should stop running stuff as root in general except for when you really need to.

Also in general you don’t want to run any graphical applications on a Server unless there is a very specific reason for it because it takes up extra resources and therefore makes the machine use more power overall. This is especially bad when the machine in question has no hardware acceleration and renders everything in software. Remote desktop also adds CPU/GPU load and takes up a good bit of I/O and network bandwidth which is not ideal for a NAS server.

The nvidia 545 drivers are an absolute dumpster fire. Even for beta drivers they are easily the worst drivers I’ve ever used. They claim to fix the vrr gsync bug tho… so as soon as they fix gestures broadly everything else, maybe they’ll be good

ILikeBoobies, in Linux reaches new high 3.82%

Remember to include the android distro

I wouldn’t call that “desktop” Linux.

ILikeBoobies,

Chrome OS 2.42%

This one good enough to include?

@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I would only count the ones that aren’t locked down and you can get into the Linux kernel and root user.

That said the low specced laptops might as well be large size mobile phones.

Trainguyrom,

I mean it’s a locked down gento system that now allows you to install popular open source software, and it’s linux-y enough to get businesses to be less linux-hostile in their software and webapps

Liz,

Is the chrome OS not full-fledged? I used it once ten years ago. Seemed fine.

ILikeBoobies, (edited )

It’s a linux distro that relies on a proprietary JavaScript/web user space

On Windows, I like Plexamp since I can keep all my music on a Plex server and access it whereever. There’s a Linux version but I haven’t tried it on Linux yet.

I really like Elisa.

I mostly use it to listen to music that’s not in my Jellyfin library yet but it does that beautifully.
