| how do you manage your dotfiles? Posted: 03 Feb 2022 09:35 PM PST need help in managing all those super secret configs. some are |~/.dotfiles| littering home folder, some have their own directory |~/.mozilla|, others are in the actual |~/.config| folder. or they're really special in |~/.local/share/|. how do you keep track of all of them, maybe even consolidate them in a single directory, program?

| Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:34 PM PST for support on apps many times a log is useful... turns out not all of them include logs. some of them don't, and i verified it, it's not my fault for searching bad. how can i log any app i use since it's opening until it closes? terminal is not always reliable, since for example some executables (native games) just show some loading info and dont register anything ever again. is there a way to write a log of anything i use that doesn't natively record logs?

| Question about making files harder to get Posted: 04 Feb 2022 01:31 AM PST i have a devian os and was wondering if theres a way to hide files from other person. i share the same user with that person so if your familiar with android only the apps themselves can fully look at its own data directory. other apps will not even be able to access the contents of the apps. Im looking for something similar to this or if anyone knows other ways how to hide files then i would also appreciate it. ive taken a look at encrypting but i think itll be a hassle to go decrypting the file then locking it again. this will probably be my last resort. whats the best way to encrypt and decrypt files in debian just in case i cant find other ways also is there a way to disable desktop mode on debian. like i want to switch to server mode and back again to desktop mode. is this possible?

| On a dual boot of kali n win10,wanting to replace win with zorin Posted: 04 Feb 2022 02:45 AM PST The kali partition is in the win10 drive c(boot) partition..i figured wiping the win10 partition takes the kali partition along since both are in the same partition. Is there a workaround to this situation or do i just need to forfeit everything and do a fresh install of zorin n kali.. [link] [comments] |

| Seeking recommendations for Elderly/Senior Citizen software (maybe even children K-6th grade?) Posted: 03 Feb 2022 06:40 PM PST I recently fixed up an old Thinkpad Yoga S1 with Fedora 35 Gnome 41 and gave it to one of my elder aunts. At the moment, I'm seeking any recommended software or GNOME extensions that's simple for non-computer and non-tech savvy, senior citizens (or children) , and that can assist in any of the following categories:
I've tried Hypnotix, but I'd have to build it for Fedora since I don't think there's an available package (besides Snapd). Unfortunately, my model doesn't come with a pen, but the laptop is touch screen! If there's any recommended websites for senior citizens, that would help too! [link] [comments] |
| Is it safe to daily drive debian unstable/Sid? Posted: 04 Feb 2022 03:52 AM PST How much error prone is it? How is it compared to Arch? And Debian Testing? Wine doesn't have an official repository for Sid so can I use bookworm's wine repo to fetch winehq-staging? Will doing the above break my Sid install? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2022 03:29 AM PST The situation : After leaving my computer sleeping all night I opened it again and it froze directly on a black screen. I could move the mouse but nothing to click on and none of the buttons on the keyboard worked for anything. I then forced it to shut down by pressing on the on/off button (probably a mistake). Now everytime I try to boot the acer logo flashes for a second and then a logo saying "No Bootable Device" and here again, nothing to do except force stop. I did manage to access the BIOS menu. On this menu I found out some stuff : - In the "INFORMATION" menu : - HDD Model name says "none" - HDD serial number says "none" My interpretation is that my computer doesn't detect any disk drives. (correct me if I'm wrong) - In the "BOOT" menu: - secure boot (UEFI) is disabled - in the "Boot priority order" there is NOTHING (which even I know can't be good) More specs about my computer : Intel core i5 Sata mode : AHCI (formely RST which I changed to install Linux, already had some trouble with that before so I thought it could be relevant) I was told there might be a problem with my GRUB system but couldn't find anything on the linux forums. If you can help me to make sure my disk wasn't just wiped out and find a way to boot normally again, it will be greatly appreciated. I know it's a bit long so thanks a lot for reading it all.

| Looking for some help with loops and find Posted: 04 Feb 2022 03:01 AM PST Hello! I have a very specific usecase that I might need some help with. Basically, I have an LTO library (running on CentOS 7). I have a oneliner command that I use to find out which tapes I need to restore a specific path. It works by looping through all the files in the directory with a find command, something like
Now the part that I can't figure out how to do most efficiently. Sometimes I need to run this command on many many paths, sometimes 40-50 and so far I have been replacing the path every time. Does anyone know how I would go about running several of these? Kind of like this I suspect I can do this with a for loop, but not quite sure how Thanks for taking the time to read this!

| Fingerprint sensor not detected by system Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:52 PM PST Hello all. I recently got an ASUS Vivobook 15 X513EAN laptop and I've installed Garuda linux on it (KDE Dr4g0nized). I'm quite happy with the outcome but there's one more thing I'd like. The laptop comes with a fingerprint sensor yet for whatever reason the system doesn't detect it so I can't use it. ```lsusb``` nor ```lspci``` nor ```fingerprint-gui``` work. It's an elantech fingerprint sensor, but I forgot to make a note of the model before installing Garuda. Is there any hope in getting this to work? Don't be afraid to suggest closed source solutions.

| Torn between OpenSUSE and Manjaro. Which one should I choose, and why? Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:43 PM PST I'm looking for a distro that works really well on newer hardware, and is extremely stable. An "it just works" distro that I can use for daily-use. Those are my main criteria, but I feel like I'm missing out on the knowledge of their inner-workings. Some under-the-hood differences that I might regret not thinking about later. What are the pros and cons of these two distros? How does one even go about weighing the two in each hand?

| Posted: 03 Feb 2022 11:28 PM PST the smart watch OS is in such an unusable state rn. your controls are extremly limited and just over all bad. like, i cant turn off wifi so it keeps connecting to any free wifi it finds, i cant turn off data so it uses 1mb per second for no reason (guess its sending data to cloud) and other stuff. can you put different os into smart watches somehow? and if so, can you make it work properly (like with the touchscreen/buttons and such? ty also i got ticwatches with those dual displays, not sure if i could make that work [link] [comments] |
| Timeshift can't make snapshots, stuck at 123.37% Posted: 03 Feb 2022 07:35 PM PST After changing from KDE Plasma to bspwm I decided to make a snapshot. I tried opening Timeshift with GUI using rofi but it didn't work. I tried running "sudo timeshift-launcher" on terminal and it opened, but couldn't make a snapshot, it got stuck at 00:00:00 remaining. Then I tried running it CLI and tried yet again to make a snapshot with "sudo timeshift --create", which printed out:
I then waited like 2 hours but it got stuck at 123.37% complete (00:00:00) remaining. I tried again and the same result, don't remember if it was exactly 123,37% again though. Also, right when I had installed bspwm and rebooted it, it gave me these error messages: Failed unmounting /run/timeshift/backup. Failed unmounting /tmp I sometimes still get this error when I reboot, and when it happens I have to forcefully shutdown my laptop because waiting just printed more error messages. My backup drive is a 64gb micro SD, with 35gb free. My OS is Arch, with the latest stable kernel version. [link] [comments] |
| Can I use Srm in file whiche is inside of encrypted container ? Posted: 03 Feb 2022 11:08 PM PST I want to securely delete a file inside of veracrypt container(usb flash device), will this work? Or will compromise the security of the file and will be worse? Thx [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Feb 2022 10:03 PM PST So I've been having problems with using my Nvidia card and Linux recently, now I noticed something similar between all these problems. When I try to enter a WM (I've tried i3, openbox, bspwm, awesomewm) with my Nvidia card, it either shows a black screen or puts me in a login loop (logging in shows a black screen and puts me back in the login screen). Using a normal DE is perfectly fine (Gnome, Plasma, XFCE), its only when I try to enter a WM I have any problems. Anyone know a solution or can guide me to fix this issue? Graphic switching tools I used:
