I’m looking for a maintained and open source app like MS Access. It’s not that I need every feature and I don’t worry about what programming langue it might be based on. But it can’t be unmaintained or work poorly.

Any suggestions?

Resize root partition in Debian VM

Hello Linux friends,

Looking for some help today. Some dummy who won’t be named undersized the partition for his Debian VM at 32Gb. This was not enough space, as the VM is already out of storage. In Proxmox where the VM is hosted, I’ve already allocated extra space for this VM using Proxmox’s built in GUI tools. The problem is, I’m not sure how to properly extend the partition within the VM itself, using the terminal only, without breaking everything (something I obviously don’t want to do, lol).

I’ve done a bit of searching and people seem to be recommending tools like fdisk and resize2fs, both of which are not installed, and I’m afraid that I don’t have any available space to install them. I’m also a bit of a noob and some of the language for drives and partitioning just flies over my head.

Any tips on:
- Clearing a bit of space on a Debian VM (that’s mostly using Docker, no other programs/files running constantly)
- Resizing root partitions without too much headache
Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, and have a beautiful and safe day!

I'm at a loss, need some #LinuxHelp here: I'm mounting my managed #Nextcloud via WebDAV and suddenly (it's always suddenly, right?) I cannot list the contents of the mounted directory anymore. Which leads to the weird situation shown in the screenshot (text in alt). I've tried setting up everything from scratch a few times before realising that it's just the listing that's not working.

OS: Pop 24.04 LTS
davfs2: 1.7.0-1
Nextcloud: 31.0.10

Hey, I'm looking for some #FediHelp! It's #linux related.

So I installed #ZorinOS on my FIL's aging HP Envy x360 2-in-1 laptop, and he's pretty happy with it. The install was smooth, we were able to set him up with some #FOSS software that fit his needs, and move over all of his old files. The OS experience is great and in that regard neither of us have any complaints there.

One issue we keep running into, however: when the laptop is asleep overnight, or sometimes if you just look away for about half an hour, the laptop suspends but doesn't wake up. The keyboard backlight is lit, but the screen is off and nothing will wake it up. We have to reboot it every time.

My old Clevo laptop (+ any variety of distros) did this a while back and the only thing that would (sometimes) fix it was to close the lid, wait a minute or two, and open it again. I was never able to diagnose it, and I think it's happening again here.

Things I've already done:

- Switch display server to X11 only
- Update GRUB params to use the system's acpi tables
- Disable BIOS safe boot
- Updated the firmware

The laptop doesn't have NVIDIA graphics (it's 100% Intel) so I'm not worried about that. My current strategy for making it work during the day is to just never let the screen sleep (he had that on his old laptop and seemed to like it).

Is there anything else I can do for when the laptop has been closed overnight?

I am having trouble with my OS lately regarding the touchpad, so I posted a question to the Manjaro forum (although it’s probably a KDE/Plasma/Wayland issue).

If anyone here has an answer, please let me know; I’m way out of my depth here.

I'm running into a linux problem that I can't figure out

it looks like both python3 and python3.13-dev are load bearing,
so I can't just uninstall one...

Aside from that I'm not sure what to do.

any help would be appreciated.
I'm having a lot of trouble googling a solution, are there any FM's I should RT?

behold the output of `sudo apt -f install`!
```

it seems like `python3`(version `3.13.3-1`) depends on python3.13 (>=3.13.7-1~)
but `python3.13-dev` (version `3.13.11-1+noble1`) requires python3.13 (=3.13.11-1+noble1)

I'd like to thank everyone for the help, I have reinstalled the VM

We immediately turned off the computer and took out the USB Boot drive before going through with the installation, but when I tried to turn on the Win10 that I have, I see the Tuxedo logo and then this screen (below in picture)

Mein deutch is nicht ser ser gut, was sagt dies auf Englisch??

And is my Win10 drive recoverable?

#linux #linuxhelp #FediHilfe #hilfmir #TuxedoOS #helpme

Hilf mir bitte!!!!

So I was trying different Linux distros in live sessions, to eventually replace Win10

I wanted to check out TuxedoOS, but didn't realize there wasn't a live session. I am not yet ready to remove win10.

(See more in thread)

Many thanks if this can be boosted to the right people!!

Hey, #Linux people, what's wrong with my #Bottles? It's a #Flatpak ,and it's the only one that behaves this way on my #CachyOS with #IntelARC #B580 GPU. I don't even know what to look for. 'Graphical glitch bottles flatpak intel GPU' does not return anything helpful.

Reinstalling Bottles does nothing.

I want to be able to get to a specific open window without having to remember how many other windows I've been thru since the last time I used it, and without covering up other things I'm using. Is this possible in Linux Mint Cinnamon? Is there some other window manager or desktop environment that would give me that?

Major thanks to anyone who can help or advise. 🙏🏻 3/3

#Linux #LinuxMint #LinuxHelp

Current behavior: instead of cycling thru windows in the order they were opened after system startup, it cycles in most-recently-used order, and activates each window in turn (raising them above other things that were previously in front). 2/3

#Linux #LinuxMint #LinuxHelp

Okay, I probably can't have the behavior I want, but it can't hurt to ask, right?

What I want: Pressing Super+2 goes to the first-opened window of the application that's 2nd in the task bar. Pressing Super+2, holding Super and tapping 2 a second time goes to the second-opened of those windows, without activating the first. (Etc. for Super+N for any of the first 9 items on the task bar.) 1/3

Okay, I looked in the Software Manager, found Emoji Mart, installed it. Set up a custom shortcut to invoke it (yay, learning!). Now it pops up when I want, and I can pick an emoji...

...and then nothing happens. How do I *insert* that emoji into what I'm writing?

Has anyone else had that problem?

[Edit: Never mind, I installed Emote instead and that works great.]

I made a new video! This time, I share how I install Debian on my systems. I wanted to do something a little more unscripted this time.

Apparently there are about 10 seconds of bad audio at the beginning. Sorry about that! I'm not sure what happened.

Anyways, I hope you like it!

I'm in need of some #linuxhelp again:

I have two computers running #Manjaro, both being on the same wifi network and I am able to send single files with #KDE Connect between them.

But I would like to move whole directories with tens of thousands of files. In Dolphin, both computers appear on the other under "Devices", but when I click on them, both show the error "target has no Remote Filesystem plugin" and show no files.

I can't find a single page describing this error.

Alright, I feel I am at a loss with no idea how to proceed.

New notebooks appear to be only able to boot from USB sticks formatted in fat32.

All the Linux tools for creating a bootable USB drive only seem to make the sticks formatted in iso9660.

Is there anything I can do to install Linux on a notebook? I never had this issue with any of my old notebooks before.

A little #linux help? Trying to install Phototonic 3.1 but getting a qmake error. Anyone know of source to save me building it? For some reason the #debian family only has version 2.1 available, and there's no DEB file, appimage or Flatpack out there.
