Acabo de descubrir que en Linux Mint no me funciona la entrada doble de auriculares y micrófono.

Me funcionan por separado con un splitter, pero si intento conectar un único jack de 3.5 al conector de audio, sólo me pilla los auriculares, no el micro. En Windows sí me funciona así que no es un problema de hardware.

Es bastante frustrante porque seguro que es de esas cosas de "Tienes que activar/instalar X cosa" y ya. Pero no sé qué 😅

for the second time, I've managed to fill up the root partition of my Void Linux installation that's dual booted with Windows (for gaming, ofc, don't judge). apparently 20GB isn't enough for my needs which is weird because I've probably used less on my older laptop. it's an LVM setup and uses XFS and is fully encrypted (per the FDE docs).

so anyway, does anyone know how to resize the root partition on such a setup without bricking my home partition?

Hey everyone! I have a question that I can't for the life of me find the answer to via searching online, so I need your help!

I am currently running Windows 11 on my daily driver (I know, I know), and I am running through a detailed checklist before I migrate to Debian 12. I have made a list of the software I regularly use, as well as Linux alternatives of software that may need to be changed to an alternate, I have thought through my workflow, and taken notes on things that are important to me and that I may need to customize on the installation. I have Debian 12 on 2 different VMs that I use for different things on my daily driver, as well as on my home server which runs all of my more critical services.

The main question I am having trouble with is that my AMD CPU doesn't have integrated graphics, and I am concerned that the drivers for my RTX 3050 won't be installed by default during the graphical installation. Should I make any preparations for this? Will the open-source Nvidia drivers be installed by default? Should I make any changes to the installation media before starting the installation?

I have already backed up everything on my C drive redundantly and have system images on my NAS ready to go should there be any issues, so I'm not worried about that, I am just maybe overly concerned about the fact that I don't have integrated graphics in my CPU and there may not be native GPU drivers for my GPU.

Edit: Also, I'd appreciate any ideas you guys have about fun practice BASH scripts to write as I am currently refining my skills with BASH scripting. I have already written a backup script for my media server, an update script to set to run weekly with cron, a number multiplication script that asks you for two numbers, and a script that tells me the exact size of directories that I enter when it asks me for a path.

Bit of an it question.

Do anyone have good tip for bulk converting tool on Linux? I need to convert the .fit files from my cycling computer to .gpx

I want to make cool map of my trip and don't exactly know how to make it efficiently.

Edit: @ajft recommended gpsbabel.org/ that did the job just right. Now to somehow put on nice map with my underpowered hardware.

Edit: Problem gelöst, Frage interessiert mich immer noch 🙂
(Lösung: uid=1000,gid=1000 in den Options)

Bräuchte mal #FollowerPower bzgl. fstab, sowie einer externen Festplatte und eines USB-Sticks.

Den USB-Stick (NTFS) habe ich mit denselben Einstellungen, wie die externe Platte, in der fstab eingetragen und alles ist i.O. (Ordner/Dateien können auf der obersten Ebene angelegt werden).

Die externe Platte (exFAT) jedoch wird nur schreibgeschützt gemountet - warum? 🤔 Mounte ich sie jedoch in /run/media/kajo/T7 kann ich auch bei ihr Ordner/Dateien anlegen.

(Warum ich sie nicht unter /run/media mounten will? Alle anderen Platten werden auch in /mnt/ gemountet.)

Some bad news. Something's gone horribly awry with my #YunoHost deployment. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

This is a two-part issue. First, the smaller of the two issues: Phanpy has gone AWOL. It's visible in some places, but not others.

Phany is listed as an app on the front page of the YunoHost UI.

But go into Admin, and it's not listed as an installed app.

Go to the URL it was installed at, and it's just a blank screen.

And yet. When I SSH in, and see what's in the /etc/yunohost/apps folder, Phanpy's files are still clearly installed on the server.

Now, here's where the Phanpy situation is a big issue... [1/3]

Does anyone know if there's a way I can get library books (via BorrowBox) to work on my eReader (Kobo) without going via Adobe?

The library says to download Adobe Digital Editions to my PC and pass the book to the Kobo from that, but of course being #Linux only I can't do that as ADE only comes in Windows or Mac.

Edit to add, I'm not trying to circumvent what the library already offers me (the loan of an e-book file for a fixed amount of time), and of course I can use my Android tablet anyway, but a perfectly legitimate way to use it on the device I prefer would be nice.

UPDATE: I have a couple of options to try so sort of answered when I get round to trying it tomorrow. Thank you.

Ok nerds. The login screen shows an eye in the password box, as though for facial identification. But I can't find out how to do that. I went down a rabbit hole with this stupid "howdy" program which would NOT install despite wasting half an hour trying. Is there something built in that I'm missing? Just want to do a Windows Hello type thing. If not possible, fine - but I'm wondering why that eye is there if it isn't supported?

Linux help needed:

I installed Zorin OS alongside Windows on an old laptop. The installer crashed but it left me with a login page that asks for a username and pw. I never set one up, and had unclicked the pw option bc I had no need of one for this test run.

There is no reboot option and when I power off, it just brings me back to the same login screen.

How do I get out of this?

Any tips for a Linux dual boot on an extra SSD?

I already mentioned that in the past, my gaming RIG does have a 256 GB SSD which is not used right now. I do want to install a Linux on that device.

My current plan is to unplug all the drives, install Linux and plug everything in once again.

Is there any risk with such setup that Windows can damage the Linux installation? Can I by accident damage my Windows installation if I run command on Linux without thinking?

#Linux #LinuxHelp #DualBoot

I am at the end of my wisdom and running out of ideas.

I need to install a software on #Manjaro #Linux that just hands me a tar and says I have to compile it from source.

And I just can't find a single site on the internet that tells me the process to compile from source on Manjaro.

Does anyone know of a guide to do this? Could I use a guide for Arch? (Assuming I can find one.)

Likely the hard drive is just at its end of life (and has been for a couple years.) Or it could be that Windows Defender takes a long time to scan everything, (because the hard drive is end of life,) everytime I start it up, which is once every year or so.

But would I even be able to answer the question of is it my hard drive or is it windows from a bootable USB?

I was trying out Pop! OS from a USB stick on my 12 year old laptop.

Is there a way to monitor hard drive usage like task manager does?

This laptop suffers from 100% disk usage in windows.

Linux people - anyone conversant with Unraid os? Particularly 32bit version 5.0.6? Know someone trying to work with it who's running into issues bc it's "old", so apparently resources are kinda gone these days. Anything you can recommend (eg: how to setup ways to add, edit, remove files folders, and setup for remote access) etc would be appreciated.

Is there a Linux distribution for tablets?

I hate Android so very very much. It's just awful, all android applications are shit, you can barely get anything without logging in to google, and you can't customize anything.

You take the shit that you get and are supposed to be grateful.

Any way to use a tablet without Android, Apple, or Windows?
