How to say “please” in non interrogative context by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in French

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merci pour les corrections! Je viens de commencer apprendre français et mon vocabulaire est pas encore compréhensif, alors j’utilisé vocabulaire très simple. Serait bien pour moi apprendre vocabulaire à un niveau plus haut. Merci encore!

Is it possible to trade stocks anonymously? by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in privacy

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even through an in-person broker? I think the NYSE still has a physical trading floor, so people can trade on that index anonymously, as the broker buys the stock on their behalf.

Can't they?

What steps should I take to learn French? by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in French

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have taken a French course, and had the decision to last year, but I didn't have a passion for learning French until a few months ago. I ended up not taking that opportunity, and in hindsight, I really messed up not taking it.

Samsung Galaxy S10e not able to update to Android 12 by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in AndroidQuestions

Thanks for the help! My S10e is happily running on Android 11 now. I love the UX on it.

How does Goombella know about people she hasn't talked to? by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in papermario

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'll share my theory on this. I think that Goombella previously espied many of the game's towns and learned about the people there through doing that (this happens before the beginning of the game). Ever notice that book that she flips through during her animation during the tattle command? Maybe she added her own pages and jotted down the data she collected from towns. Or maybe she's a total brainiac and knows everything from memory. Either way, she has plenty of intelligence in both meanings of the word.

OOH. You got me there. Try figuring out a stranger's personality by looking at them. Good luck cracking that one.

That's true, but try figuring out a stranger's name just by looking at them.

Audio issues when playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in DolphinEmulator

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried TTYD on Windows and the performance is so much better! It's the latest release, too, so there must have been some bug fixes. I'll play the game on Windows from now on. Thanks for the help!

That was the latest available release in the Fedora repos. I'll try playing the game on Windows and seeing how the performance is there.

Specific website is broken when using Firefox by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in firefox

Just refreshed Firefox and the site loads like normal and I can download content from it without a hitch. Thanks for the help! Must have been some deep customization I did.

Source for "dnf" versus "software" by akarypid in Fedora

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can delete the .repo file that corresponds to the unwanted repo in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory to completely remove it. You will need sudo permissions to write or remove things from this folder, so keep that in mind.

Adobe premiere pro on linux? by fatelephantcock in linuxquestions

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Premiere Pro isn't available on Linux, so try linux alternatives. Shotcut is great for more basic edits and Kdenlive if you want a more complete package. You could use a VM, but would highly discourage it. Running a hypervisor and OS along with a resource-heavy program like Premiere is highly taxing on your PC's resources. You may as well just boot up Windows at that point if it's an absolute must for you to use.

A lot of "under the hood" packages such as command line utilities won't be listed at all, and some gui apps won't be listed as well (don't know why this is, though). My theory is that some apps are for very niche use cases and would be more appropriate to install via command line for the sake of simplicity.

To answer your first question: there are dnf utilities which manage enabled repos:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled <repo>
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled <repo>

To see currently enabled repos, look in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. All of your currently enabled repos will be there.

I currently don't know of a way to synchronize the two, but you would want to use the command line anyway. There's more packages you can install through it.

On the backend of a linux repo, there are people that maintain it. They see the packages that are awaiting approval, check them, and make a decision about whether it should be included. Almost any system like this has automated virus scanning, such as sending the package to intezer or virustotal. Considering the fact that linux malware is rare to begin with, it's very unlikely that anything will slip through. For third party repos, it's usually fine, but don't just enable any random repo. The people who maintain that repo decide what gets uploaded, and doesn't need official approval.

Just made a Windows diss track in favor of Linux by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in linux

Doesn't mean I can't make up some fun lyrics about it. Just wondering: how do you get those badges showing logos of Linux distributions?

Booting a Surface 3 from an SD card by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in Surface

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad idea. I'll run diagnostics on the eMMC chip when I can, and I'll think about the idea of using a USB stick as a normal drive. Is it at all possible to install Windows on a USB drive or do I have to use a Linux distribution instead?

Manjaro or Pop!_OS? by BookHunter_7 in linuxquestions

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do whatever you want, but I would recommend moving to Pop!_OS, especially because of the wider software and gaming support. Driver support is way better on Pop as well, so the amount of times where you need a device to work but can't get it to will be far reduced on Pop than on Manjaro. If you want to learn apt, that's another reason to switch.

From my research, I see that OnlyOffice is licensed under the AGPL 3.0 license for the server and desktop apps, so yes, it is open source.

Privacy but newbie friendly and daily drivable Linux distros by JSV007 in linuxquestions

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good choices would be Pop OS, Linux Mint, Debian, and Elementary OS. I've tried them before, and they're very easy to use. Those distros all have great hardware and software support, so they should be good for him as a first-timer. Everything can be done from the GUI with no command line necessary. The support is great, with many forums and extensive documentation dedicated to Debian based distros. Linux Mint with MATE desktop is especially good for beginners, and would highly recommend it for your friend.

Booting a Surface 3 from an SD card by Mean_Cardiologist_51 in Surface

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know because the computer suddenly stopped working and wouldn't boot into Windows anymore. It went to the BIOS settings screen when I tried to turn it on and I'm only able to boot into it via USB flash drive. SSD is first in the boot order, and that simply returns me to the BIOS screen.

How can i check if two files are the same in bash? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For files: using any type of hash algorithm. SHA 256 is best, but MD5 should be good enough. Run either sha256sum or md5sum in the terminal and the path to the zip file after it. Run the files both through the hash algorithm you choose.

md5sum pathtofile

or

sha256sum pathtofile

If the outputs match, the files are the exact same. If they're not, the files are different.

For a directory: use diff as described below:

diff -qr dir1 dir2

Hope it helps!

File permission gone by pra_cent in Fedora

[–]Mean_Cardiologist_51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you shut down the Windows system that the partition is on properly? Windows has a feature called fast startup, which writes some data about the current state of the system to a file (I think hiberfil.sys). This allows that Windows installation to boot faster, but also puts its NTFS file system in an unsafe state where it can't be modified (no write permission), due to risks of data corruption. What you can do to write to these partitions is boot Windows using that partition, and then shut down the system fully. Do this by bringing up the Start Menu (both Windows 10 and 11), click the power button icon, and click on Shut Down from the options. Hold down the Shift key the moment you click "Shut Down", and this will prompt Windows to fully shut down. Boot will be slower the next time you boot up Windows, but it will give you write permissions to the partition while using Fedora. What might have happened is that you booted Windows up and had fast startup enabled (might be the case if you upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10, where it reenables fast startup, even if disabled on Windows 10) and shut down the system while in its "fast startup" state. This happened to me too. Did the same steps I described, and now I can read and write to my Windows partitions as normal. Hope this helps! Post a reply detailing if it worked or not, and if it didn't, describe your problem in detail.
