A #reboot is a solution to many tech problems. But if you are on #Linux, did you know you need to reboot only if your kernel has changed? Otherwise you can do a "soft reboot" and get the same thing. You need to kill the init process and make it respawn. It varies from distro to distro but on #systemd ones, you can do systemctl soft-reboot and it'll do the job for you.

Also if you have problem with your graphical shell, you can simply restart your graphical stuff. Not even a soft reboot is needed. For instance if your display manager is lightdm like me, simply do systemctl restart lightdm.

I think this applies to other #unixlike operating systems with the similar kernel and system architecture as Linux. Maybe #BSD people can share their experience?

Linux NTFS partition invisible in Windows? It's often the partition ID. Linux might set it as 'Linux' (0x83), but Windows needs 'NTFS' (0x07). Easily change it with fdisk—no data loss. Proven fixes here. #LinuxTips #WindowsSupport #NTFS #TechFix

New to Linux? Need something familiar? Check out Mission Center. It's basically Windows Task Manager for Linux.

Available as `mission-center` on Arch Linux or as Flatpak for any other distro.

Spoiler da aula ao vivo de amanhã na LINUXtips

Todo mundo do curso Python Web API vai receber o link para a aula ao vivo.

Vamos falar sobre SSE, Event Stream e Chatbots com Ollama.

Meu compromisso é em explicar sobre HTTP/1.1 e SSE, a alucinação do LLM não é de minha responsabilidade :) mas vamos integrar assim mesmo.

If you’re running both Linux (like Kali or Ubuntu) and Windows on the same machine and notice that Windows displays the wrong time after booting into Linux, you’re not alone.

It kept bugging me for years tbh 🤣.

Solution is simple - just run the following command in your Linux terminal:

sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

Did you know? On Linux you can observe the file descriptor positions using `/proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd-number>`
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc_pid_fdinfo.5.html

You can use that to observe long-running file processing jobs' progress. But there are tools that format this properly; Debian (/Ubuntu) packages `progress` a tool that does just that:
https://github.com/Xfennec/progress

It can snoop for coreutils processes, or just watch an arbitrary pid:

`progress --monitor --pid $(pidof -s lbzcat)`

Mit paste -s kann man eine mehrzeilige Ausgabe zu einer Zeile zusammen fassen. Das ist eleganter und effizienter als awk, sed oder tr und hat sogar kein überflüssiges Leerzeichen am Ende.

*) In der Umfrage dazu gabs doppelt so viele Ja wie Neins. (Small sample problems ;-)) Ich werd also mal versuchen, das einmal pro Woche durchzuhalten.

Here’s a new post about something that took me quite a bit of time back in the day, and I think it might help folks who don’t have a full desktop environment—like me: Monitor Management on Linux.
It’s not perfect, but I think the core idea is there. Hope it’s useful to someone out there. Have a great weekend!

You can set an audible alert upon the completion of a process or script by using `tput bel` in the shell, for example, `make; tput bel`.

Handy especially when you want to monitor the process.

Ensure that sound is enabled; otherwise, you'll only get a visual notification.

لجعل محمل الإقلاع (GRUB) في توزيعة Gnu/Linux يتذكر آخر نظام تشغيل قمت بتشغيله تلقائيًا دون الحاجة إلى اختياره يدويًا في كل مرة، يمكنك تعديل إعدادات GRUB باتباع الخطوات التالية:

1. تعديل ملف إعدادات GRUB:

1. افتح الطرفية (Terminal).

2. قم بتحرير ملف إعدادات GRUB باستخدام محرر النصوص nano أو أي محرر آخر تفضله:

      sudo nano /etc/default/grub

3. ابحث عن السطر التالي:

      GRUB_DEFAULT=0

4. قم بتغييره إلى:

      GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

5. أضف السطر التالي أسفل السطر السابق:

      GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

6. احفظ التغييرات وأغلق المحرر (في nano: اضغط Ctrl + X، ثم Y، ثم Enter).

2. تحديث GRUB:

1. بعد تعديل الملف، قم بتحديث GRUB لتطبيق التغييرات:

      sudo update-grub

3. إعادة التشغيل:

1. أعد تشغيل النظام، وسيتذكر GRUB الآن آخر نظام تشغيل قمت بتشغيله.

ملاحظات إضافية:

• إذا كنت تستخدم systemd-boot بدلاً من GRUB، يمكنك تعديل إعداداته عبر ملف /boot/loader/loader.conf.
• تأكد من أن التغييرات تطبق بشكل صحيح عن طريق إعادة التشغيل واختبار النظام.

Hey @jloc0 , it's @martindehf writing from my english-speaking account :)

I want to update my current system but the documentation is a bit outdated and it doesn't take into account that:
- I have installed GRUB
- Multilib
- Used sbopkg to install some packages
- User slackpkg+ to install some packages from alienbob's repo.

Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated :D
