Hoy algunas de las computadoras de la universidad (que todas usan Windows) estaban totalmente rotas, con BSoD o que directamente no booteaban. A pesar de eso pudimos trabajar, gracias a que la mayoría de distribuciones GNU/Linux se pueden utilizar mediante Live CD, y entonces no violamos las políticas de la universidad puesto que no modificamos las computadoras, pero tampoco nos quedamos sin posibilidad de trabajar, además de que estos Live CD ya tienen #Firefox y #LibreOffice preinstalados, por lo que no hubo necesidad de descargar nada más.

#Mastodon, j'ai un souci, et j'aurais bien besoin d'aide.
Je veux installer une #Kubuntu fraîche sur un ordi qui n'a pas été mis à jour depuis la version 18.04 (oui, ça fait longtemps).
Cet ordi, un #Asus N752vx-gc195T, tourne actuellement avec un dual-boot Kubuntu-Windows.

J'ai fait un #liveCD et une #liveUSB pour mon #install mais les deux, après un passage par l'écran #Grub, ne me proposent qu'un écran noir.

J'ai modifié tous les paramètres de la clé et du bios (MBR, EFI etc.). Désactivé le secure boot. Ajouté les paramètres nomodeset, acpi=off lors du lancement de Grub. Essayé la version 22.04
Rien.
La seule chose que j'aie, c'est un écran un peu plus verbeux lorsque je remplace "quiet" par "verbose", mais qui plante en quelques poignées de secondes et me laisse comme sur la photo ci-dessous.

Je ne sais plus quoi faire. #help

Migrer une installation #Linux, c’est :
- Recopier le contenu du disque dur de la machine source vers le disque dur vierge d’une machine cible démarrée avec un #LiveCD.
- chroot et bind /proc, /sys et, /dev depuis le LiveCD vers le disque dur.
- Modifier le fstab et mettre à jour #Grub.

@SweetAIBelle very nifty...

• Personally, I wish there were more "#LiveCD" (or rather "#LiveUSB") distros like @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and @kalilinux that that offer a comprehensive set of #tools and benefits for users.

Ideally with some nifty tools (compareable to Tails' #PersistentSotrage) to allow mounting local/remote storage as $HOME and potentially leverage toram as boot option.

• Bonus if that works via #iPXE for a #Diskless #Administrator Desktop to boot into.

Certainly that "#RescueLinux" part is mid- to ongterm goal of OS/1337 and I am working on it (abeit at a pace slower than I want to cuz 'things happen in meatspace' and those sadly require my full attention...

• Needless to say it's always good to have a nifty system at hand (worst-case I'd install @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS #Desktop on an external SSD/HDD and have that at hand) if one doesn't have their Distro on a hot-swappable / toolless replaceable drive anyway...

Using #ArchLinux is quite good because it makes it easy to get started and adapt said system as need be.

#OS1337

Hey #Linux users. This is probably going to be extremely geeky and technical and I'm fully expecting not to understand any of the answers I'm going to receive, if any, but...

If a Linux Distro's official ISO is built using an older version of SysLinux which has since been depreciated, and no newer ISO exists, is there a way to manually rebuild the ISO to use an up-to-date SysLinux instead?

Как я пришёл к пониманию основ создания Live-дистрибутивов Linux, решив починить свой старый SSD

Был у меня старенький SSD объёмом 240 Гбайт от Kingston, который внезапно перестал работать, вообще перестал распознаваться в системе. Попробовал я подключить SSD к другому компьютеру, попробовал использовать как внешний диск, ничего не дало результата. Поэтому я купил новый, а этот разобрал. Внешних признаков, указывающих на то, что SSD сгорел, я не заметил, а интуиция говорила: «Проблема программная». Выбрасывать диск не хотелось, поэтому он остался пылиться до «лучших» времён. И вот недавно захотелось попробовать его починить. К своему удивлению, я достаточно быстро нашёл необходимую статью на Хабре , где рассказывалось, как можно оживить SSD на том же контроллере, что и мой, отдельную тему на форуме Ru-Board , а также статью с подробной инструкцией , по ней я и восстановил свой SSD. Но кроме восстановленного SSD я еще приобрёл и закрепил знания по Linux, которые изложил в этой статье. Всем, кому интересно, добро пожаловать под кат.

Setting up #Debian on a notebook computer (Surface Pro 3) is still not a straight-forward task. 😔

You still need an expert to set it up or you need to choose a more user-friendly distribution like #Xubuntu and accept the #Ubuntu downsides.

Movespeed USB flash drives are the real deal. I was testing out several distros on a new laptop a couple of weeks ago. Using a Microcenter "high speed" USB C drive. Slow as fuck. Looked around and saw a lot of posts about the Movespeed. Dual USB-A/USB-C was on sale so I bought one. Holy crap. Booted to the KDE Neon Live USB, which was very slow testing before, and it was almost instant. Very happy.

Me encanta la opción de instantáneas de #Timeshift vía #rsync. Es el enfoque clásico de respaldar el sistema en un dispositivo externo. Si, por alguna peregrina razón, se pierde toda la carpeta raíz del sistema, incluidas las instantáneas #btrfs, se puede reconstruir el software en su totalidad desde un #LiveCD con Timeshift y la instantánea rsync del dispositivo externo. No es mala idea respaldar con btrfs con mayor frecuencia y también usar rsync de vez en cuando para mayor seguridad. 📦💽️🔄✅

Now here's something really special - I don't come across things so refreshingly kewl this often. I follow and test with AlienBob's Ktown endowed LiveSlack CDs but I've been running my own installed from scratch Slackware -current workstations (or moving them to new machines) that I've continued maintain w/bleeding edge software for many years.

This is more like the latter (My warm and fuzzy, just how I like it, personal OS install) than the former (LiveSlack CD) - You're getting the benefit of seeing how someone else sets up their machine to incorporate their daily business flow, with all the kewl tweaks and progs right there for you to moll over. You can run it as/is or take it as a starting point to diverge from, incorporating your own style and improvements for years to come.

You prolly wanna bookmark this for sure and I know that I'mma spin this up myself this week!

A couple of things that I feel are pertinent to mention:

- You start off with a running system, like any #LiveCD, but already tweaked with plenty of customization and integrations to make this a plug and play daily driver right out of the gate.
- It's a great way to skip over the parts that led you to believe it was too much work to justify getting started with #Gentoo.

Quick overview of Peppermint OS

Was cleaning and found these ancient #Ubuntu 5.10 gems from when I was a kid! This would be right before I moved over full time which wouldn't happen till 2008.

I think I found these at a yard sale and kept the #liveCD in my tray for "dual booting". I wasn't patient enough to download ISOs over dial up and wouldn't have real Internet till 2008 😂

and now available as release v0.2.1, download: http://pub.la10cy.net/nanodesk/nanodesk_v0.2.1.iso
#Debian
#Linux
#Desktop
#Livecd

Now nanodesk has an "graphical" installer. I'm everytime amazed how handy you can build little simple guis with those tools like zenity, gxmessage, etc.

With the installer it takes on a 4 core VM just a bit under 4 minutes from booting the iso , installing and rebooting into the installed nanodesk :D

Today's "in case you didn't know" link is purely technical wizardry. If you do anything at all with OS installations (bare metal, vms, really anything) you probably want to know about https://netboot.xyz
It is a net-bootable menu of TONS of installers, tools, live cds, full distributions, etc. It is self-hostable, and it even works on ARM64!

Cheat code: Get into an iPXE shell (in a VM just enable netboot and hit ^B when prompted) then run dhcp to get an address, and chain --autofree https://boot.netboot.xyz to boot the menu (pictured)

🖥️ Hace poco buscaba un #LiveCD para #USB en caso de emergencias: recuperación, reparación, análisis de virus en Windows, y más. Xubuntu me encantó. Ligero y eficiente, siempre tiene lo que necesitás al alcance. ¡La apariencia simple y hermosa es un plus! 🌟 #Xubuntu 💾🔧

Trier ses cartons c'est aussi retomber sur des petits bouts de son histoire personnelle avec l'informatique... Ici des CDs d'installation de @ubuntu : 4.10, 5.04, 7.10...

I'm about to install #coreboot on my #protectli #fw4c. Any known hiccups or recommendations? I'm planning to use a #ubuntu #livecd and flash it from there. 🤔
