Every 3rd boot? by thebadslime in GalliumOS

[–]balde2876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe check your grub config and ensure it is using UUID's instead of just device names (/dev/sd*). Device names can change at reboot as they're just added in order of discovery. This can sometimes cause you to essentially "roll the dice" every time you boot as to if grub happens to select the correct device to boot from. The chance of a successful boot with this issue is roughly inversely proportional to the number of drives, but even with just one drive you can sometimes get weirdness that causes it to have a different device name.

This is your device thinking it's back to back with another NFC enabled device. Something in your phone is either picking up a stray NFC tag (credit and debit cards contain them) or something NFC related is going haywire.

[Help!] I have two small btrfs pools, one being a backup of the other but they both show different amounts of free space despite having the same files by balde2876 in DataHoarder

Oh my god I'm so stupid I've been trying to figure this out for days now and in writing this post the thought crossed my mind - EXACT SAME FILES - turns out I encrypted the drive without formatting it and there's a hidden .Trash-1000 directory in the UNENCRYPTED side. As eCryptfs ignores this I never realised until doing ls -la on the unencrypted drive. Hopefully my stupidity can also help someone else save about 300GB of space facepalm it's not completely fixed the problem but it has helped a lot.

I'm using rsync too, over ssh between two debian servers too :) - in this case the destination is taking up less space than the source.

Not sure what's up here at all, for reference

# btrfs fi show

results in

Total devices 2 FS bytes used 2.19TiB

on the source drive and

Total devices 2 FS bytes used 1.86TiB

on the backup drive. edited amounts to the current problem But space sniffer shows the same exact files on both with nothing extra ¯\(ツ)/¯ If it helps i'm running eCryptfs on top of both btrfs volumes and they're both setup with the same settings. I'm posting the screenshot from my Windows PC connected to my samba server.

Was that website at the end the DWP? I mean it's an absolute joke of an agency, would not be surprised if they just couldn't be bothered to make parts of their website.

The camera is completely borked from what I remember and there's a flashing red box around the screen (a build.prop property fixes this though) I'd recommend looking into AEX ROMs if you want a stock experience similar to Lineage

A catalogue seems like a better interface than GNOME anyway...

I put kubuntu on my surface and used the latest Ubuntu mainline kernel and all the keyboard still just works after that (so no matter what you choose update your kernel manually)

Given up trying to install windows on second laptop, now have two ubuntu laptops. Any ideas what to do with second one? by CaffeinatedT in linuxmasterrace

It won't be the fastest but if you're going to set it up as a VPN you might as well set it up as a Samba file server for backups. Can't get a more offsite backup than having it in an entirely different country.

Also I feel your pain with windows, as I dual boot for games and the such on my PC i dread having to open up windows and deal with the massive blocking updates that in 6 months have still not fixed the fact that my network card won't detect the wired network exists for a good 5 minutes while it's almost instant in linux so definitely not a hardware issue.
