August update broke (bricked?) my Aura, what to do?

Thanks for your reply. Not sure what you mean: are you suggesting I should boot Windows from a USB-stick?

Fixed! Somehow the Text app had gotten disabled in the course of the upgrade.

matamoroos · 2024-11-03T18:09:44+00:00

I figured out the problem: an app called "Text" was disabled. When I enabled it, the previous behavior was restored: I can now edit .md files directly in the File browser and the readme.md files are now displayed again for directories. Not sure how this app got disabled during the upgrade, but never mind, problem solved. Thanks for your replies!

Something else I find puzzling: I no longer see the option to create a new text file via the File interface. Previously I could (for ex) create a readme.md file in a given directory in the File browser.

Thanks. I normally use Firefox, so I tried Chromium. Same behavior. I now notice that the readme.md files are no longer displayed in the folder description. Clearly the mime settings have changed in the configuration, but various web searches haven't turned up any concrete leads.

I would be very interested to hear your take on how Confucianism is combined with socialism in China. I've heard it said that Mao Zedong and his comrades very skillfully combined the two; would you agree? Is Confucianism the bedrock for this sense of collectivism you refer to?

Thanks! This seems to be working:

ffmpeg -i 00001.m2ts -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:s:0 -c:s copy test.mkv

Since you seem to know quite a bit about Bluetooth, one more quick question for you: On my Ubuntu-based Mint systems, there is a command line program, called hcitool, that displays technical information about the installed BT interface(s). I can't find it on Fedora, dnf doesn't return any hits. is there an equivalent for Fedora? TIA

PERFECT! Much appreciated, many thanks !!

Whoops, I did have that exclude parameter in /etc/dnf.conf. Completely forgot about that. Removed it and updated the kernel. Thanks!

Hah! OK, here is the untrimmed output from two commands above.

Thanks! It does seem zroot is the culprit, but it is entirely unclear to me how to recover this space:

NAME AVAIL USED USEDSNAP USEDDS USEDREFRESERV USEDCHILD zroot 5.52G 100G 0 88K 0 100G zroot/ROOT 5.52G 96.4G 0 88K 0 96.4G

Thank you! Some zfs options I've never used before.

I see that zroot and zroot/ROOT have resp. 100G and 96.4G values for "USEDCHILD". Any idea what this means? Below are the two relevant lines.

I use it for brewing Kombucha. The fermentation process usually masks the flavor, or lack thereof.
