How to solve this boot error message? (lemmy.world)

I’m on debian 11, this error doesn’t show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don’t know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it’s just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in...

KISSmyOS,

I wouldn’t assume a failing disk either.
But every time there’s an error you can’t pin on something you just did, a full backup should be the first thing you do as a matter of principle.

KISSmyOS,

uninstall gnome-clocks (it doesn’t remove the standard clock in your panel)

KISSmyOS,

Important clarification: It’s still not viable for you yet.
I’ve been using nothing else for the past 18 years.

KISSmyOS,

What I need is image recognition software for the webcam that locks the keyboard when a cat approaches.

KISSmyOS,

Arch has been more of a “just works” distro for me than OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Debian and Fedora.
Arch Installation nowadays goes like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">iwctl  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">device list  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* scan  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* get-networks  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* connect *SSID*  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">archinstall
</span>

And you only need the first 5 lines if you’re installing from wifi.

KISSmyOS,

I bet Jämtland gets bullied by all the others:
“You forgot what a cross looks like? Saint Philip never liked you.”

KISSmyOS,

For that, I’d have to go into office buildings regularly, and they were full of zombies even before the apocalypse.

KISSmyOS,

This firefox hasn’t crashed. It behaves as expected on Slackware.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

KISSmyOS, (edited )

Most people forget you can also run a Linux VM inside Windows if all the other options don’t work for you.
It protects your private data from virusses, doesn’t let Microsoft’s telemetry spy on your usage and browsing, and gives you more control.
Just limit what you do in Windows to what needs it running natively and do everything else inside the VM.

KISSmyOS,

Don’t compress your images to 70% jpg!!!
HDD space is essentially free, just get more. With a 70% quality jpg, you lose the ability to crop, edit or blow up your images. It basically limits you to looking at them on a screen. And even there, you’ll get jarring artifacts in dark areas.

KISSmyOS,

Layers are key for comfort!
That’s why I always wear an onion on my belt.

KISSmyOS,

Watch out, the KDElves won’t like that at all!

KISSmyOS, (edited )

I was banned citing rule 1 (no bigotry, racism, etc) for posting a meme about how modern cars are too big, too expensive, and send all your data to China.
Apparently because my meme implied China Bad.

KISSmyOS,

That brings me back to my first PC build, 20 years ago, using parts my friends had discarded cause they were too old.

KISSmyOS,

I’m not actually against or for systemd, in fact, I am not really sure why I should even care

systemd is the standard now and it is free software. So don’t care. systemd is fine.

KISSmyOS,

“Oh boy, time to destroy another distro”

KISSmyOS,

Delivery drivers are free to sideload a fully open bucket and take bathroom breaks in the privacy of their vans.

Can flatpaks be installed and accessed from another partition on the same drive?

My laptop seems very finicky with linux and enjoys periodically freezing. Some distributions are more stable than others and I’d like to keep testing other distributions without reinstalling/ downloading/transferring all my apps and steam games constantly....

KISSmyOS,

If your laptop periodically freezes, switching distros won’t fix it.
Identifying the underlying issue (which is most likely a hardware defect) would be a better use of your time.
Your first step would be to try and reproduce the issue. See under what circumstances it happens. See if it happens from a live USB or only from your installed system (If it does, this eliminates the SSD as most probable culprit). Do a RAM test. Then ask for help with further trouble-shooting.

KISSmyOS,

Even if they wanted to, it would take 19 years till someone gets around to changing the license.
