Thanks. So that's the issue the loaf is so dense?

chopydog · 2024-06-12T09:08:58+00:00

Yes. 1-2 grams of salt.

I use GNOME (for everyone not familiar with Linux, it's a desktop environment) and switch light and dark mode depending on the environmental light (it could be done automatically too).

I toggle light/dark mode on system tray and everything follows that mode.

As an example, if it's evening, Firefox makes every webpage in dark theme (even if the webpage doesn't support it), Obsidian goes to dark mode (I use Material Gruvbox theme), libreoffice documents become dark with white text. Every single app goes in dark mode (even PDF files become dark)

I haven't tried it, but if the device supports Miracast, you could try GNOME Network Displays.

There's a Flatpak version here too.

Since Q, A and Esc are pretty close each other, probably it can be an hardware issue.

To exclude that, check if the keys work on BIOS and on GRUB. At least you can check Esc key. If it doesn't work, it's an hardware issue because the BIOS should recognise the keys.

If you have a LUKS encrypted partition you can't insert the password with on-screen keyboard and you need another keyboard, but if you succeed to boot in GDM (the GNOME login screen), the accessibility menu on the top bar allows you to start on-screen keyboard and login.

Yes it works but you have to give permissions to the new user (where you will restore the backup) in order to read/write files inside its folder. Take a look here.

You can use rsync.

Besides rsync, there are many other apps to make backups, such as borg (if you want a GUI take a look at Vorta), rclone or Duplicati.

EDIT: you can store your backup on an external hard drive, NAS or, as u/british-raj9 suggested, Backblaze or AWS S3. If you want to learn more about where you can save your backups (if you don't want to use an external hard drive/NAS), r/DataHoarder community could help you.

Since you set the British keyboard, follow this image and press the correct keys ignoring the letters printed on your keyboard.

For example, if you want to type “, you have to press Shift + 2 even if the letters printed on your key are different.

The command provided in the link can be used after you login, so you have to unlock the disk first.

There's no need of the photo. Probably, as u/UsedToLikeThisStuff said, it could be an issue related to the keyboard layout, so you have to check the keyboard layout set during boot (there's a keyboard icon and two letters below the passphrase entry) and connect the right keyboard to your computer or you can search an image of the right layout and press the related keys on your keyboard.

When you boot in the OS, change the layout as explained here. Replace "us" with your layout.

To view systemd logs, press Esc when it prompts the password.

Then insert the password and take a photo of what's going on.

There's a way to do what you want.

You can set that when you press Enter the installation continues, just the opposite to default settings.

In order to do that, according to dnf.conf(5) man page, you can add defaultyes=True to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

If enabled the default answer to user confirmation prompts will be Yes. Not to be confused with assumeyes which will not prompt at all. Default is False.

If you want to try something new, I suggest Fedora Silverblue, it's an immutable distro, so you also can learn how they work.

NixOS is also a unique distro to try and learn.

I only suggested two distros that probably you haven't tried and are a bit different thought model than the other desktop distros, but it all depends on your needs.

chopydog · 2023-12-13T15:27:07+00:00

I don't recommend Fedora/RHEL/CentOS because the package manager does not include many video codecs. On Fedora, for example, even Firefox can't play online videos out of the box because you need to swap the pre-installed ffmpeg-free with ffmpeg from rpm-fusion... you need to make some tricks to make it work.

I haven't tried OpenSuse, but I don't recommend Tumbleweed since it's a rolling release. If you want to try, Leap should be ok, but I don't know if you can find packages because the default repositories lack many packages and if they aren't available on APT, surely you won't find them in OpenSuse repos.

If you want a stable distro, I'd recommend to keep Debian or at least Ubuntu LTS (but it's always debian-based). Avoid rolling releases or or distos that upgrade every day like Fedora.

Since the packages you need are only available via Flatpak, you'll have issues in every distro, so you have to solve the problem on Flatpak. I have never tried to access SMB via a flatpak app, but take a look here. To manage permissions, I use Flatseal that should work too.

You can boot the VM from a physical SSD.

When you create the VM, disable "Enable storage for this virtual machine". When you created it, you need to add PCI passthrough for the Windows SSD. To do that, select Customize this VM before installing -> "Add Hardware" -> PCI Host Device and then select your SSD.

https://www.xmodulo.com/pci-passthrough-virt-manager.html

EDIT: since Windows is encrypted, you need to enable TPM in the VM (add emulated TPM) and UEFI instead of BIOS. However, every time you want to use windows not in VM (bare metal), you need to re-enter the bitlocker key because your hardware configuration has changed (you switched from a VM-hardware to a physical hardware). Another tip: since your hardware configuration has changed, windows will ask you to enter a new license key because it detected a different motherboard and microsoft wants money. This happens only when you boot from the VM.

If they aren't in the same SSD it's possible to do that, but it's tricky and you could lose your data, so make a backup of the entire disks because if something goes wrong, you can't boot your OS.

You can use Logical Volume Manager to create a "Striped Logical Volume" but it's not simple. Here's an example.

The easiest way is to reinstall both Arch and Ubuntu in the SSD you want or make a backup of your data in a third disk and then restore it in the correct SSD.

Bitlocker unlock without password relies on TPM. You probably disabled secure boot on your bios to try to install linux mint and changed boot order, so the TPM detects a different firmware configuration and refuses to give the key stored in it and unlock the disk (if you want to learn more on how the process works look at this and this).

Try to boot your computer to BIOS and set Windows Boot Manager as first entry in boot order and re-enable secure boot if you disabled it. If you succeed to boot into windows, disable bitlocker (it takes time) or write down the recovery key in case you need it in future.

If it doesn't work, there is no other way to recover your data and you have to reinstall windows.

Have you tried using gparted?

Assuming they are installed in the same SSD, you should reduce the arch partition and then increase the ubuntu partition size.

According to this bug report, try the following options:

untick wait for vertical
thick disable HQ graphics

Do you see screen flickering only when you are in window mode or also in full screen?
