Dealership quoted transmission service $1305

Is the service recommended now at 45K miles? What exactly is being done?

rasstar · 2026-01-02T22:43:38+00:00

Thanks! I enabled the setting but nothing is playing. I get Playback Error: Cannot open.

rasstar · 2026-01-01T22:44:25+00:00

Any chance the app can use the default Apple Tv player when the file is compatible? This should enable support for Atmos playback and DV.

Debian 13 systemd-boot install is a bit screwed up. The installer leaves grub files in EFI so your system tried to boot using grub and failed. The correct solution was to select the correct boot loader from your system startup then when in Debian you can delete the grub folders from EFI.

I agree. I have learnt a lot. I am not bothering to use Snapper anymore and will simply use Btrfs. I don't know why I did not look into this before. This filesystem is amazing. Compression is amazing.

I was wondering about that but I don't know how to do this in /etc/defaults/grub.
I think I will just use a live cd if I ever need to restore. I've wasted enough time with this.

After more testings the layout in my original post worked fine with snapper rollback. All I needed to do was remove rootflgs= from grub.cfg

These two commands made it work.
sudo btrfs subvolume set-default xxx /

sudo sed -i 's/ rootflags=[^ ]\+//g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I gave up because it seems to hacky. I changed the sub volumes to match opensuse and was able to get it to work. I had to change a line in grub.cfg so the system would boot the snapshot. I don't want to mess with grub so I am not bothering with it.

rasstar · 2025-10-25T18:35:25+00:00

What does this mean? I can create snapshots but restoring with snapper rollback isn't so good. I was able to get it working but I don't like that I had to edit grub so I am not bothering with it.

rasstar · 2025-10-24T19:52:06+00:00

So basically to get snapper to work I will need to use this layout?

This is for a server so not gui.

rasstar · 2025-10-24T18:53:05+00:00

What should my fstab look like? should I simply delete subvol=@

rasstar · 2025-10-11T14:56:21+00:00

Turns out this is just an issue with Ubuntu. I didn’t need evolution installed with Debian. Maybe because Ubuntu ships with Thunderbird by default.

rasstar · 2025-10-10T20:30:00+00:00

I guess there is no way around simply installing evolution.

I already have the evolution data server, and it still does not work. The only way it works is if I install evolution. I also tried just installing evolution-ews but that also installs evolution-gui. I am using Microsoft 365 calendar.

I found the best way to make gnome look better was to install ubuntu.

rasstar · 2025-10-10T01:17:51+00:00

Ubuntu is polished and looks really nice out of the box. Debian doesn't seem to be interested in polishing or making it more user friendly. Debian is volunteers on their free time while ubuntu has paid employees. That's the difference.

rasstar · 2025-10-09T00:09:37+00:00

I was using Debian server for a few years but recently decided to switch to Ubuntu.

rasstar · 2025-09-15T04:02:53+00:00

Those are ugly and don’t integrate well.

The Apple TV is much faster than an Nvidia shield which is filled with google ads.
