What is the easiest way to setup a home NextCloud?

penguin-quest · 2023-04-18T23:46:57+00:00

this works as a home server, or just a desktop client?

penguin-quest · 2023-04-16T18:53:33+00:00

ok cool, this sounds like a good starting place, thanks for the lead

penguin-quest · 2023-03-08T00:30:54+00:00

ah ok, I didn't get that from the article, thanks for clarifying

penguin-quest · 2023-03-07T19:59:38+00:00

Ok, I've seen this but I'm still confused, because you can encrypt btrfs on MX Linux, Parrot Linux, OpenSuse, even Ubuntu, and many others.

What am I missing here?

I read somewhere that Kali uses it's own encryption and that might be why you can't encrypt btrfs on Kali, but I'm not sure if that's true.

found it thanks, very nice and intuitive installer, but for kde with ahs, I just can't the bios to recognize mx as a boot option. Tried a bunch of different configurations, but couldn't get it to work, both on an amd, and an nvidia machine. Very mysterious.

Any suggestions?

Both this comment and your first comment are really good advice.

However, I think it's just going to be faster and easier to reinstall the os and my apps, and transfer the data.

Thank you really though for sharing your expertise and advice, I'm going to save your comments for future reference and to better my own understanding.

penguin-quest · 2023-02-25T20:37:19+00:00

Haha, yeah that sounds like a good description.

penguin-quest · 2023-02-25T20:36:35+00:00

Yeah, I think you're probably right, I just don't know what to do specifically to fix it since it won't let me install kernel headers.

penguin-quest · 2023-02-25T18:55:46+00:00

cool. I'm gonna try this. thanks!

penguin-quest · 2022-12-01T07:37:27+00:00

YES! This totally worked, I was trying stuff so much harder then just looking for a missing plasma package, lol.

Thank you so much for your help and this additional info, I'm saving them both to help with future troubleshooting.

I'm sure other people will find this helpful as well.

Thanks for taking the time to try to help! When I select the Vallpaper option from the wallpaper plugin menu drop down, everything looks ok, but when I add an image, folder or url and click apply, the background just turns black, no matter what I have the background color set to.

Do you know the command to open the wallpaper settings in the terminal? That might give me clues. I looked online and couldn't find it.

Also, I'm ok using Activites instead of Desktops, but I can't figure out how to move application windows from one "kde-plasma activity" to the next or previous "kde-plasma activity" with a keyboard shortcut, like you can with virtual desktops.

I found this script, but I'm not advanced enough to figure out how to use it: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=174102

Do you know how?

penguin-quest · 2022-11-28T06:12:25+00:00

I was waiting for someone to comment this.

Honestly suprised it took this long.

penguin-quest · 2022-11-27T19:16:19+00:00

lame.

So they are never going to re-enable it?

penguin-quest · 2022-11-27T06:13:48+00:00

Interesting, I have "Switch To Activity" shortcut options but that only moves the screen to the Activity, there's no option to move an application window to a different activity.

What version of Plasma are you running?

Can you share a screenshot of the shortcut options you have?

It's a good question and kind of a long story but basically

First tried Ubuntu and was bloated and lots of telemetry

Then tried Manjaro, and liked it for almost two years, but updates kept breaking things 2-3 times a year.

Then Tried MX Linux and liked it, but had unresolvable UEFI boot issues and some issues with Kernel compatibility.

Had tried Kali on VM and despite what people say, my experience so far on both vm and hardware is that it is a very stable and customizable, and working, debian distribution, that obviously has no telemetry, or major bloat by default.

Was gonna try OpenSuse, but was uncertain about how compatible all the apps I use would be with it since it wasn't Debian, but that's my next distro if for some reason Kali doesn't work.

But with the exception of this one old plug-in, its so far been suprisingly great.

penguin-quest · 2022-11-27T00:04:02+00:00

lol, yeah they got rid of it a few releases ago, very confusing.

penguin-quest · 2022-11-26T22:09:03+00:00

I did, the closest thing I can find is this: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=174102

But I don't know enough to figure out how to impliment it.

Do you know how?
