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!

Hey, people, what's wrong with my ? It's a ,and it's the only one that behaves this way on my with 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 actually managed to squeeze in a new #linuxaudio soliloquy #video today. 😅

It was fun. 😎

The topic: “Favorite vs. Missed Plugins on Linux.”

For this, I made a little jam… 🙂

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. 😇

Dear #linuxaudio community,

Baby Audio just replied in our #native #linuxsupport request thread over on their forum. 😎

forum.babyaud.io/t/native-linu

So far, 15 people have cast their votes. If you haven't done so yet, now would be the ideal time to let them know that you'd be interested in using their #plugin (s) on #linux. 🤓

Some Baby Audio plugins.

Linux fanatics rejoice! 🥳 Qualcomm promises same-day upstream support for their Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, assuming you can navigate the labyrinth of browser settings to enable JavaScript first. Because who doesn't love a tech breakthrough that begins with a "JavaScript required"? 🤦‍♂️✨

I just received another positive feedback from a #developer I have been bugging for years and who has now started implementing #linuxsupport (no ETA as of now). 🙂

I'm talking about Acon Digital, creators of the Acoustica #audioeditor and the Restoration Suite #plugin (s), among others.

To share my excitement, you can take a look at their lineup here:

And have a look at the up-to-date support request tracking list here:

My instance is in a weird limbo right now.

Tomorrow, this post won't exist. My boot drive is fucked and I'm locked out of root.

I have backups dated November 21st. I'll restore everything up to that date then redraft the last major post I made tomorrow evening.

>anyone else on your instance?

Thankfully not, so,... 2 posts and four photos, follows should persist, I don't know. We'll be on the 'new' 'old' system tomorrow evening.

​Dear #linuxsupport community, a while ago, the hard drive (NVME) on my #xps 139 380 crashed. I bought a new one and replaced it. I managed to install debian stable (12) on it after changing to legacy boot mode. However, I am now not able to boot to the new system. I have tried both legacy mode and UEFI secure (and insecure) boot mode with AHCI mode without success, the BIOS should be updated. Why am I failing?​

The other day #PolKit updated or something related to it did on our #Gentoo installation and now our backlight asks for the root password whenever we want to lower or increase the brightness with the keyboard keys when it didn't before.

To be clear we can find nothing of use on the wiki etc, we have looked.

Can any of y'all help please?

Anyone know how to get mouse buttons to perform different keyboard shortcuts in different applications? For example 'button 6' zooms in when using Firefox; and skips ahead when using vlc.

Easystroke used to do this well, but is now unsupported.

#Linux folks, it's time to replace my primary 27" monitors. The pair were a Facebook Marketplace special, and the the manufacturer is no longer is business. I can't find a color profile to calibrate it, and I'd like a higher resolution. So please drop response if:

This model worked effortlessly with my Linux machine!!! I am satisfied with this!
or
This model is beyond horrible! Avoid! Run Away!

Thanks for you input.

Here is the pastebin of my journalctl
pastebin.com/XBmCDfp4 (I had to cut out the beginning, hopefully it is enough)
pastebin.com/4EwzFWPX (One from yesterday)

Here is what I tried:
Tried two different nvidia drivers (555 and 560, both have this issue)
Ran memory test a few times, passed every time
Reseated GPU, RAM, CPU
Reinstalled Steam and games
Reinstalled OS out of desperation
Changed kernels
Monitored temps (all good)
Monitored RAM and VRAM usage (all very low on crash)
Tried Wayland and X11

I changed the PCI power cables on my PSU and it worked for a few hours, but now games are insta-crashing again.

Does anyone have any ideas? Please :3540_Aqua_cry:
