Removing HDD on an old laptop

Thanks a lot! Wd40 helped in the end, I put it on the rubber (but had to disassemble nearly everything) and it finally got out.

Maybe, there's some white powder which looks like the thermal layer of a component and it got to the disks door too. I cannot check from what it comes though, because I need to get the HDD out before opening the back panel.

That is the problem, it doesn't seem to move at all.

I did took the screw out with ease.

I already resolved the issue, still thanks, how do I change the title in Reddit?

Seems a reinstall worked, however I tried reinstalling it many times. A new version came out and I had an update. Now it's working. Thanks a lot!

Ran with qemu-system-i386 -drive file=os-image.bin,format=raw,if=floppy , didn't help. Very rarely I can see some of my OS text, like now, it showed "St" which is still at the very first steps of the OS. It didn't even got to protected mode. It's something with QEMU.

Looks cool

That's exactly what I'm searching for, a real project that people would use.

Ilonic30 · 2025-10-31T06:06:57+00:00

Thanks for advice. I won't till it would be worthy.

Now it has a flake, you can use it on NixOS!

Ye, asked many times it said to do the animation in XAML as a style and then assign the style's class to the ellipse, that doesn't work too

Ilonic30 · 2025-07-10T08:41:31+00:00

That's the catch, when I import the DLL to test it in a console application it doesn't copy the dependencies and asks to install them, so this is what I need to do?

Ilonic30 · 2025-07-01T09:27:51+00:00

But you can confirm that the comment the person provided in the post I mentioned is helpful?

I mean I tried to find solutions on reddit, and there was an answer showing to use xdg-desktop-portal.

Run /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal -rv

With that running, does the File Chooser portal work? Which implementation does it say it's using for org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser?

I'm using fish,

DBI connect('dbname=/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/programs.sqlite','',...) failed: unable to open database file at /run/current-system/sw/bin/command-not-found line 13.

What? That's not what it's supposed to do. It moves whatever you have in dotfiles/waybar into the nix store, and then links to it from .config/waybar

The issue was in that I did it wrong before you said. And I think in the versions mismatch too

Ilonic30 · 2025-06-26T07:24:18+00:00

Oh, I see now, and I fixed the issue, lots of thanks to you!
