  • [Solved] Help! Edited fstab and broke my system!

    Jump

  • No idea about most of your question, but I think you entered the wrong UUID. nvme0p1 is the name of the partition.

    Use blkid in the Terminal, the output will be something like: 

     
        
/dev/sda3: UUID="a7d71686-0a65-4402-b6e6-b58430ef8351" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0ea90c96-1b56-4c51-b07a-02e09285f291"
/dev/sr0: BLOCK_SIZE="2048" UUID="2020-10-22-14-30-30-00" LABEL="Ubuntu 20.10 amd64" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="PMBR"

    This is how a valid UUID looks like: a7d71686-0a65-4402-b6e6-b58430ef8351

  • It hurts to read your text, so I stopped after the first sentence. You probably already know LLMs couldn't care less about this "trick". I don't want to appear rude, just thought you should know, because other people may feel the same.

  • Alternative to Spotify - Linux client?

  • Can you elaborate on this topic? Are we just speaking about a web player?

  • Alternative to Spotify - Linux client?

    Jump

  • No particular reason. I don't really have much experiences with web apps. I don't like the idea of putting every functionality into my Browser and I like it simple.

  • Sounds interesting. If I understood correctly, it's about 5 bucks a month for remote access and tidal/Quboz integration? Also I need to set it up on a server or raspberry pi? Could be a bit overkill for just a music player...

  • Is it good, can you recommend it? And most important, does it have dark mode?

  • So you say music streaming is taking the same enshittification route as streaming in general? That sucks to hear :/ I really want to switch, but I am only paying like 5€ in a Spotify family... so if it's just too hard it may be not worth it. However Spotify is fucking annoying me, it always plays the same shitty music and doesn't learn at all from my taste

  • Does anyone actually have home safes or does everyone just use bank safes? (or do you hide stuff under your mattress?)

  • Most of my legal documents can be reproduced easily or they are in a folder I can take with me. Apart from that I don't own anything of value.

  • People who used to vape or smoke, how did you / what made you eventually quit?

    Jump

  • I got disgusted of full ash trays. Also it's a real pathetic feeling needing to go the gas station before work / on sunday whatever. My SO did not smoke and was disgusted by it I always brushed my teeth before we met. Oh my god I could go on with reasons why I quit, the only good reason was that is was fun from time to time.

  • Help needed: Getting rid of Windows on Dual Boot System

    Jump

  • Also, I am surprised canceling the NTFS slide mid-copy didn't break anything lol

    Me too. After hitting cancel, a new "Force cancel" button appeared, but I luckily waited it out. Gparted reversed all actions it did and also copied back the couple of MB it already shifted over, when it finally told me it succeeded. So I guess the data is fine, but yeah I backed it up before anyway. Thanks for your write up, even if it came a but too late ;)

  • Help needed: Getting rid of Windows on Dual Boot System

    Jump

  • I now delete all partition on /dev/sda/ but my data partition sda4. Adding the unallocated space from sda5 and sda6 was no problem, but the partitions left were problematic. They are only about 800 MB and gparted tried to prepend that by copying the whole 913GB. I canceled the operation which would have taken more than 4 hours and prayed to god. He didn't listen but it worked anyway.

    Now after another grub-update the computer now boots directly into Linux, I have more free space and I got rid of the Windows bloat.

    Thank you so much!

    1. I made sure Linux boots with the other drives removed
    2. Removed the NVME drive with Linux Mint
    3. booted into Gparted Live
    4. deleted all partitions on /dev/sdb and created a new ext4
    5. Restarted, the PC directly boots into "Automatic Repair" Windows stuff, I guess that comes from /dev/sda. However yeah I have to go to boot menu, choose the NVME, and then I get to the grub menu where I can choose Linux Mint - annoying
    6. I mounted the new partition and edited fstab, which went well
    7. Run grub update, the sdb Windows entries are gone

    Now unfortunately I am still directly booting into the Windows repair mode. Before I directly booted into GRUB where I could choose or do nothing for some seconds to automatically boot into Linux. In BIOS the old Toshiba HDD is actually at boot order 1, but the Linux drive does not appear there.

    I will now make a backup of the already mounted data partition on sda (couple 100s of GB, but anyway) and try to remove the old partitions on that disk and merge them with data. It still stays NTFS, but I am too lazy at the moment to completely wipe it. Maybe something goes wrong with boasted anyway lol.

    Thanks so far!

  • So you are saying I can just easily format the disk dev/sdb? If I want to disconnect the other 2 disks before, I have to boot into a gparted live USB stick, right? What about all those Microsoft Windows Recovery partitions on the Toshiba disk, do you know where I come from? Can I just remove them and merge them with the biggest partition using the inbuilt partitioning tool? Thanks :)

  • How do you deal with the left over fat/oil in your pan?

    Jump

  • I just wash my pan normally. The amount of leftover oil is negligible.

    If I deep fry something (which I pretty much never do), I put in a glass jar and throw it into the bin.

  • when I pour hot water int othe sink, the lights turn on

  • I have an led strip installed next to my oven at a similar place. There is a larger "button" that reacts to touch, you can also dim it. When I am cooking, the steam of the boiling water turns dims that light on and off, it's pretty annoying but also kind of funny.
