SteveTech, to linux in is there any way to attach an audio to an image without re-encoding either

I believe avidemux will work for OP (with replacing audio), and it’s what I normally use (usually only for cutting though), but lossless-cut does look way more featureful.

SteveTech, to selfhosted in Hosting websites over 4g

I doubt this will be any use, but my Telstra 4G has a public IPv6.

SteveTech, (edited ) to linux in Happy 1704067200 seconds since 1970

I don’t believe so, I think OP just misremembered 1970.

The 1704067200 is the 2024 new year, in seconds from 1970 (normal Unix time).

SteveTech, to linux in Is DNS Bloat too?

I can’t say it isn’t a fork bomb, but it does happen to match IPv6 address with regex.

SteveTech, to linux in need help fixing a hardware problem using linux

I do kinda agree with the others that this is a power issue, but I was thinking it wouldn’t harm to run a memtest, maybe whatever part of RAM the iGPU is mapped to is dying or something like that.

SteveTech, to linux in Need some help with Xubuntu networking please.

Apologies for the slow reply

No worries, I’m also not that much of a fast replyer.

Have you disabled auto start in the DHCP profile?

I probably could have been a bit clearer what I mean too: Those profiles with DHCP enabled in network manager should have a ‘Connect automatically’ toggle, maybe try just turning them off instead of deleting them, and make sure they’re turned on for the static IP profile.

I also haven’t used Xubuntu in a while, and this is mostly for Debian KDE and Ubuntu, so I’m hoping it’s the same.

Edit: Also you should probably think about getting a cheap UPS if you can afford it, if your power is that bad during storms.

SteveTech, to linux in Fedora 40 Eyes The Ability To Boot Unified Kernel Images Directly

I’m probably wrong, but NVRAM suggests that there should be some way to clear it. (Clearing the CMOS might if you can’t do it in software)

SteveTech, to linux in OpenSSH is about to change. (For the better.)

Woah peertube federating with lemmy is actually really cool!

SteveTech, to science_memes in πckles!!!

It’s not exactly the same spelling, but pickle is already a built in library for saving python objects.

SteveTech, to linux in I'm trying to run VirtualBox in Linux Mint but I keep getting an error message about Kernel drivers.

It says that the guest is supposed to have some special software

That sounds like virtio-win. I usually use the iso and mount it from virt-manager, but if the internet is working then I guess you can download the exe.

I’m assuming that I’m supposed to download “libvirtd”

Just searched it up, something like this should work: sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virtinst libvirt-daemon

Sorry I don’t have too much experience with gnome boxes either, I mostly use virt-manager.

SteveTech, to linux in I'm trying to run VirtualBox in Linux Mint but I keep getting an error message about Kernel drivers.

I probably wouldn’t describe it as similar, but virt-manager is fairly simple but powerful at the same time (like it will let you expose more advanced KVM/QEMU features like PCIe passthrough and similar).

But like the other guy said, gnome boxes is very straight forward and probably more similar in it’s simplicity.

They both use QEMU + KVM, so you can have both virt-manager and boxes installed at once, and I believe virt-manager (probably boxes too) easily let you use existing VirtualBox .vdi files, if you’ve got an existing VM you want to run. Also like I said before, KVM is already mainlined into the Linux kernel, so you don’t have to install sketchy kernel modules and stuff.

I’ve only used VirtualBox once though, so I can’t really compare them.

SteveTech, to linux in I'm trying to run VirtualBox in Linux Mint but I keep getting an error message about Kernel drivers.

Is there something else I can try

I use virt-manager, since it uses KVM which should already be present in the kernel.

SteveTech, to linux in So... how to fix this?

I’m pretty sure there’s no difference between internal and external ext4 (at least how gnome disks handles it), so I think it’s just trying to make sure users don’t freak out when they format it as ext4 and think their data is all gone on Windows.

Also when it’s grayed out you usually just have to install the fuse driver and file system tools, IIRC for exfat you install exfat-fuse and exfatprogs.

SteveTech, (edited ) to linux in So... how to fix this?

If you’re using gnome disks, it hides the more Linuxy file systems behind an ‘Other’ option.

Personally, for removable drives I prefer to use

  • ext4 for HDDs
  • f2fs for SSDs
  • exfat for Windows compatibility

If it’s grayed out or you’re getting errors try searching up ‘how to format as [file system] in [Pop OS/Ubuntu/Linux]’, you might need some extra packages.
