mvirts,

Slap a Firefox on top (and time travel to when ff is all rusted) and we’ll be coming for ChromeOS. But will windows be completely rusted first? 🙃

mvirts,

If you’re familiar with blender, it works pretty well but renders slow

mvirts,

Lol I would’ve been pumped if I got this as a kid

mvirts,

If you love gtk2 so much why don’t you marry it?

:P I love developing with Qt but Ill take gnome over KDE most days.

mvirts,

Also our big moon has to deal with sharing space with our horde of trophy trash moons

mvirts,

Is this site insane? On Linux I have access to so many more applications than other platforms. Sorry apple, ios apps repeating the same thing infinitely doesn’t count.

mvirts,

Looks like you need to look for messages about /dev/md0 and why it may be timing out. Also maybe add nofail to the raid entry in fstab so you can still boot if the root fs is not on it and it fails ( is root on NTFS possible or good?)

I don’t think the edid message is a problem, just an artifact of your monitor not talking to your video card?

Maybe NTFS is the problem, I think it needs special options to automatically remove the dirty bit and replay the journal

"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

Title. Basically, “if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby” where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the...

What would be the best way for me to recover data from my old laptop's hard drive, which seems to have a bad superblock?

I got an external hard drive enclosure for the purpose of recovering some of the files from my old laptops hard drive. The hard drive and all of it’s partitions show up in both disks and gparted but it wont mount. When I tried to mount it manually, it gave the error message stating that it can’t read the superblock. I’ve...

The quick and dirty way I’ve used is…

Use the nbd system (network block devices) and qemu to create a qcow2 image with your defective device as the base device. Serve this qcow2 image with qemu-nbd and attach it as a NBD device locally. Then run fsck or testdisk on the NBD device. This will let you repair the filesystem Linux sees without writing to the disk. Testdisk can scan for any filesystems left on the device if the partitions no longer match filesystems.

Also, if all else fails use photorec to slice the file types you need.

Also, ddrescue can try to read any actually failing sectors and work out what they contain, but puts a lot of stress on the device.

Beware, any method that puts more wear on the disk should not be used unless you’re willing to accept the risk that the drive could get worse.

I feel like breaking my windows install was a rite of passage

Lately ive noticed that i was wanting to do certain things on Windows that just seemed much easier and more intuitive on Linux, based in the OS specific solutions i would see to problems i encountered. And i was more frequently using software where Windows support seemed like an after thought....

mvirts,

Sounds like you may have accidentally been installing an ssh server on zorin.

mvirts,

Keys are just configuration files for locks

mvirts,

Yes this. Imagine posting to a stack themed site, your question would be closed for being incomplete. A screenshot of the failed boot would be great, and some info about the options you chose when installing and the type of machine you’re using.

mvirts,

The messages you’re getting sound like they’re from the bootloader, so I think secure boot is not causing the problem… Linux should print some stuff right away when it loads, maybe check the architecture of the kernel you’re trying to boot, even an error immediately after loading the kernel should print something unless the architecture is so different that it’s just feeding the CPU bad instructions… Not sure how the bootloader would get installed correctly in that situation though. Is this after installation? Does the system boot from a live USB or cdrom?

mvirts,

Anyone with sudo access can keylog your password

mvirts,

I think you may want musopen.org

musescore is composition software.

Most of what’s there seems not beginner friendly, but there may be something. You should think about getting them a piano primer series and/or lessons if they don’t already know how to play. I took lessons that focused on the Bastien basics series www.amazon.com/…/B07ZL5636N/

Yes. But since we’re in Linux land, you may be able to replay the journal and un-dirty your disk by mounting with the ntfs3 driver listed here docs.kernel.org/filesystems/ntfs3.html, or you could try using ‘ntfsfix -d [your device]’ from the ntfs-3g package to clear the journal and the dirty bit, although whatever the last operation was on the filesystem may be left in an incomplete state since the journal is not replayed.

I haven’t done it in a while, but with virtualbox I have used direct disk access by creating a special vmdk with vboxmanage to give a VM access to real partitions.

mvirts,

Do you want to use i2p for anonymity?
