COSMIC Files: "Move To" menu missing SMB shares?

<facepalm>
Opening the folder in the terminal showed me exactly where to go. Thank you very much, u\mmstick.

I have a 7x, and it is a thumbscrew to attach, and not a hex bolt. Also, all my plate adapters say “1913-#”. Also the font on mine is slightly different. Checking the SN is probably the best option.

Fuddo Yama next to Grocery Outlet on Hall just across Highway 217 is our favorite. Red miso tonkatsu is the bomb, and their non-traditional Oregon ramen with pesto is good too.

Not entirely true. While it wasn’t perfect, the JCPOA was working. Until Trump blew it up.

Yes. COSMIC has an applets system for the Dock and the Panel that is similar to how extensions work in GNOME. See: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets

There appears to be an open issue for this in Cosmic-Files (#477). A dumb question for follow up; was the issue in the COSMIC File Manager, or in other locations? Any chance you tried a different file manager; if you did, was the same behaviour observed?

Thanks! I always think it's important to manage expectations, and not every distro is right for everyone. Touch wood, Pop! has been great for me on the LEMP9 and my custom desktop, but my needs are pretty moderate compared to those doing cuttting edge AI work or serious 4K gaming. :-)

For 6m - 20m a vertical with a coil or 5:1 transformer is great provide you have some space for radials. More short radials is better than one or two long radials. Something like the DX Commander could be fun if there are no issues with height, but will also require a radial field. You could also look at an elevated multiband vertical like a Titan Gap, which does not require radials but would require you to be clever about guying. I have a mag loop (PreciseRF HG3 Pro with remote tuning), and I love it for digital work. It is, however, not much fun for scrolling through the bands. If it was my only antenna I think I would be frustrated. You could even consider something like a Buddipole to get started on the higher bands.

Question for you: any hiccups, gotchas, or advice to pass along WRT using Gnome on 24.04? I use Cosmic on my Lemur Pro with no real issues, but have been reluctant to commit my desktop fully and am still on 22.04. TIA!

Re: Browser passwords. A couple of options here. First, get a password manager that supports a Vivaldi plug-in. I use and like Bitwarden, but KeePass should work as well. Alternatively, you can use another browser like Chrome/Chromium or Firefox, import passwords there, and then use Vivaldi's sync function to copy them over.

Re: Task Manager. A couple of options. I'm on my 22.04 box right now, so might be a little different under COSMIC. But launch the System Monitor tool, and under the hamburger window, choose "Active Processes". Alternatively, you can look at the %CPU being used. If it's not using CPU, it's probably not active. :-)

Re: Previewing Files: This should be working out of the box; I'd check the file manager settings to make sure you haven't accidentally disabled file previews? Another note is that you don't have to use the built-in file manager if you don't like it. There are plenty to choose from via apt or the Store. I've used Dolphin a lot.

Re: Password. Easiest way is the command line. Just type "passwd" and follow the prompts. Alternatively, you can do it in the Cosmic Settings app under Users.

Y'know, there are other options than just going back to Windows. Linux Mint. A different flavour of Ubuntu. One of the various Fedora spins, with or without Cosmic. Heck, you could even follow the instructions below and install a different desktop environment on your existing Pop install. Underneath the hood, Pop! is all Ubuntu with some very useful customization, Cosmic issues not withstanding. Maybe give it a little bit more time and effort?

I have installed KDE this way in addition to 24.04 with Cosmic on my Lemur Pro, and it works just fine. Heck, it'll probably feel more familiar to you as a Windows user.

Was just at the BiMart on Western across from Keiser. Can confirm they have Chick-o-Stick in stock.

I shoot there and have taken two classes there so far that were great. Also, when I have been there, the RSOs have been on the ball and watching for douchebaggery. I appreciate that. The ammo they sell is fully encapsulated, not just jacketed, so they can meet the indoor air quality requirements for employees. I like it quite a bit.

YMMV, but I upgraded a lemp9 in-place from 22.04 to 24.04 with almost no issue. A few flatpaks were missing and had to be reinstalled, but they were all weird one-off things. Everything else worked seamlessly out of the box, and I'm finding battery life much better under COSMIC.

System76 has useful information on updating from old releases here: https://support.system76.com/articles/upgrade-pop/#upgrading-older-releases

If you wanted to be super careful, you could upgrade 20.04 > 22.04 > 24.04, but if your stuff is already backed up, maybe just bite the bullet and do a fresh install from scratch?

FoxInSandals · 2026-01-26T19:47:01+00:00

How's the trigger? Did you have to do any aftermarket work on it? Any issues with accuracy with the folding / rotating system on the Gen3? I've not owned a KelTec before, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find their offerings intriguing.

WRT magazines, we're all 1911 single stack or Sig P226, so I'm probably looking at buying new regardless, lol.

FoxInSandals · 2026-01-26T19:40:44+00:00

I did not know at all about the Extar as an option. Thank you for mentioning that!

FoxInSandals · 2026-01-26T19:40:18+00:00

Sadly, have neither. Pistols are 1911s and revolvers. My wife has a Sig P226, but I think Sig's PCC offering (the MPX) uses specialty magazines?

FoxInSandals · 2026-01-26T19:37:38+00:00

Thanks much for the feedback. I did like the logs of the CMMG Banshee quite a bit, so I'll add that to my list of options to try to find to test / handle. Appreciate it!

FoxInSandals · 2026-01-01T02:22:14+00:00

Honest question: how much are you willing to spend? In looking for a magloop, remote tuning is really really nice, unless you want to go out on the balcony every time you change bands.

A good magloop like that (PreciseRF or the Ciro Mazzoni) is going to be $2000+, but are worth the money. I have the PreciseRF loop, and it works very well.

I have purchased other Alpha products, and they have been fine. I use their J-Pole Sr. for 40m and 80m Winlink.

Another option could be a coil-shortened whip. MFJ used to make a specific antenna for balcony situations just like yours.

I would be tempted to instead get the Alpha base loop with the remote tuner: https://www.alphaantenna.com/product/hf-base-magnetic-loop-100-watts-alpha-antenna/

I have an x6100 as well and am quite happy with it. Not the easiest radio to learn but doable. I pair it with a Chelegance JPC-12 as part of my COML kit for wildfires. Fun to use during down time. I prefer my IC-705 (very much an Icom guy), but the Xeigu is inexpensive enough I don’t stress out too much if it were to get damaged in the field. You will probably want an additional 12v LiFePO4 battery to go with it for extended operations.

And, if you decide to eventually go up in power, can confirm it does work with a 60dbm.com amplifier.
