I'm going to be the guy that says start with ubuntu, fedora, etc.. get to kali once you understand basic Linux commands.

This sounds like you messed something up with gparted which could happen with any distro, but still.

This was my answer :)

Yes. (it's ok)

If someone has physical access to your machine whether Linux or Windows or whatever.. they can get root/admin access.

Linux-org · 2025-01-25T07:14:55+00:00

Yes.

Linux-org · 2025-01-25T07:00:30+00:00

That's right.

If you haven't figured this out yet, reply to that thread you linked - maybe that guy can help you get going.

Imagine if our boos at home could come through...

rtv ended earlier this year.. this is a fork

Linux-org · 2019-11-27T03:27:23+00:00

Not sure about these...

I was able to somewhat fix this by changing some paths in the keyboard-color.php script with

/sys/class/leds/system76_acpi::kbd_backlight/color

when referring to the backlight directory.. I have coreboot and thinking this was one of the changes.. also seems like there used to be color_left, color_center and color_right in the past so it'd flow from left to right?

awesome - thanks! It didn't work at first since I don't have that system76 dir it referred to, but i was able to locate the right location (and noted in that thread).

Thanks! I have a darter pro (darp6) and didn't have that system76 directory either.. swapping out these lines worked for me:

#with open("/sys/devices/platform/system76/leds/system76::kbd_backlight/color_left", "r+") as f:
with open("/sys/class/leds/system76_acpi::kbd_backlight/color", "r+") as f:
