Cher fédiverse,
Petite question dont je suis sûr tu auras la réponse: comment on organise une #installparty #Linux?
Je pense pouvoir trouver un lieu et des partenaires (Fablab, IUT, Médiathèque, assoc. locale etc.), mais je me demande :
* Quel matériel préparer? Une clef de boot de démo? Un pc de démo? Des disques de sauvegarde? Combien?
* Quelles activités peut-on faire pour faciliter la prise en main?
* Qu’est-ce qu’on présente aux gens? On leur fait un petit topo? Quelles sont les questions récurrentes?
* Combien de personnes par participant environ?
Je vais pas poser la question qui fâche de la distro, ça serait du #Fedora KDE (Xfce ptêtre) ou #Mint, mais c’est pas très grave.
J'aimerais ficeler ça parce que ça me trotte dans la tête depuis un moment.

I haven't played in some 20 years. Some 2 weeks ago I saw #Machinarium for free in #EpicGames's store and went and picked it up, it looks gorgeous. I also bit because it said 'windows #Linux etc'.
Now I'm trying to run it and find out that what I downloaded was a Windows EG launcher. I tried #Wine and some frontends but nothing seemed to work.
Then I tried #Lutris, through which I found there seems to be a Linux version! https://lutris.net/games/machinarium/ But I can't get it from EGS?

Arch Linux Install Guide - 2025/09
Hello guys, we've published a detailed guide on how to install Arch Linux on amd64 devices with UEFI firmware.
NOTE: This guide will be updated from time to time when things change or when we want to add something new.
https://r1os.com/sites/articles/arch-install-guide-2025-09.php
Am Mittwoch fand unsere #LinuxInstallParty im @acmelabs statt. Es gab wieder reges Interesse und viele Installationen. Danke dafür!
Machen wir bald wieder!
#DualBoot-Installationen waren dieses Mal besonders beliebt. Da gibt es dann doch einiges zu beachten:
#EndOf10 #Linux #FreeSoftware #FOSS #ReplaceWindows #TryLinux #WindowsMussWeg
Yet another treacherous move by #Microsoft ! They have always tried to cheat their way out of competition.
Remember tattoed hard disks ? #Secureboot ? #UEFI ? #OOXML ?
Their technology is so bad that they have maintained their monopoly only through treacherous technical and commercial pratices. Always.
Erasing the #Linux boot at each #Windows update is yet another exemple of foul play.

Bonjour le pouetiverse !
Je suis à la recherche d'un logiciel #Linux pour faire des backups de fichiers, qui comporterait une feature particulière : pouvoir "archiver" (ou plutôt ghost ?) des fichiers et répertoires. Je m'explique : pouvoir supprimer le fichier/répertoire du disque tout en y gardant une trace du fichier (nom, emplacement), restaurable facilement depuis la #backup quand nécessaire.
Idéalement bien intégré avec Nautilus.
Des pistes ?
Le repouet donne des croquettes à Tux
Hello tootiverse !
I'm looking for a #Linux files #backup software with a special feature: "archive" (or maybe "ghost" ?) some files and directories.
In a nutshell: being able to delete a file/directory from the disk while keeping track of it (path, name, size...), so that you can restore it easily from the backup whenever you need it.
Ideally well integrated into Nautilus.
Does anybody know if this is a thing ?

Sur #linuxMint cinnamon j’ai installé gpaste2 avec l’extension GPaste rechargé, j’ai configuré le raccourci super+v pour afficher l’historique des copier/coller.
Y a moyen d’avoir un truc pas buggé ?
Genre j’ai deux instances apparemment au bon d’un moment : si je clique sur l’icône dans la barre des tâches je n’ai pas la même chose qu’avec le raccourci (qui a arrêté de suivre apparemment).
C’est pénible.
Si j’enlève l’applet j’ai juste le truc avec le raccourci qui ne suit plus les changements...

#PythonBPF - Writing #eBPF Programs in Pure #Python
https://xeon.me/gnome/pythonbpf/
Varun R Mallya writes: ""Python-BPF offers a new way to write eBPF programs entirely in Python, compiling them into real object files. This project is open-source and available on GitHub (https://github.com/varun-r-mallya/python-bpf ) and PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/pythonbpf/ ). I wrote it alongside R41k0u.
[…]
Before Python-BPF, writing eBPF programs in Python typically involved embedding C code within multiline strings, often using libraries like bcc. eBPF allows for small programs to run based on kernel events, similar to kernel modules.
[…]
Python-BPF brings the true eBPF experience to Python by allowing the exact same functionality to be replaced by valid Python code. This is a significant improvement over multiline C strings, offering support from existing Python tools.

Linux Mint is often shilled as a lightweight distro that runs great on older hardware. Well, turns out the Cinnamon Desktop actually requires a certain amount of GPU performance to render smoothly.
On my old laptop Intel HD Graphics 4000, the entire Desktop only runs at ~30 FPS. The Xfce/MATE Editions run at 60 with occasional drops.
I didn't expect that from Cinnamon. Even KDE Plasma ran better.

La prise en charge de Windows 10 se termine le 14 octobre 2025, et Windows 11 refuse de s'installer sur un bon nombre d'ordinateurs. Microsoft veut que vous en achetiez un nouveau. C'est un choix arbitraire qui risque d'envoyer 240 millions d'ordinateurs parfaitement fonctionnels à la benne. C'est de l’obsolescence logicielle fabriquée de toute pièce.
On vous propose ici de parler des impacts écologiques de nos usages numériques, des mines jusqu'aux décharges, et de les lier aux problématiques de surveillance et de logiciel libre. On tentera de trouver des pistes collectives pour un numérique plus sobre.
Il s'agira d'une présentation puis d'une discussion autour de ces enjeux, puis pour celleux qui le souhaitent une démonstration du système d'exploitation Linux. Pour les personnes qui veulent passer le pas, ou commencer à s'initier, une « install party » sera organisée le dimanche au hackerspace Le Bib (80 impasse flouch) pour vous aider à installer Linux sur votre ordinateur ou répondre à toutes vos questions.

Mitigations for #vmscape have been merged to #Linux mainline and included in new stable and longterm #kernel versions released about an hour ago (like 6.16.7 or 6.12.47).
Vmscape is a vulnerability that essentially takes Spectre-v2 and attacks host userspace from a guest. It particularly affects hypervisors like #QEMU.
For more details see this #LinuxKernel merge commit https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/223ba8ee0a3986718c874b66ed24e7f87f6b8124, the doc changes in contains at https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/9969779d0803f5dcd4460ae7aca2bc3fd91bff12, or the following page from those that published the vulnerability:

I don't suppose there's a #terminal escape sequence that causes it to display some text in a new window? Because that would be an interesting alternative to a traditional #pager: instead of paging through the output of a program, it is displayed in its entirety in a separate window.
I think #macOS used to do this with man pages, but the feature seems to have been removed.
People often ask me: How can you “sell a Linux phone” to a regular user?
In Europe, the answer is simple — just look at the software options and who controls them:
- Apple (US)
- Google (US)
- Huawei (China)
Now compare that with:
Linux and its community — independent and open.
In the long run, Linux phones aren’t just an alternative, they’re the smarter choice for anyone who values sovereignty, privacy, and true digital freedom.

Plus le temps passe, plus j'apprécie le lecteur vidéo mpv au lieu de VLC ou Celluloid.
Non seulement les raccoucis clavier sont très bien faits, mais il utilise *vraiment* moins de CPU que les autres.
Si vous êtes sur batterie, ça fait une belle différence, vraiment.
mpv utilise à fond le décodage matériel, ce qui le rend énergétiquement plus efficace.
Il y a eu des "install party" partout en France au mois d'août ou quoi ? Non parce que là, passer de 4.56% à 11.64% d'un mois à l'autre, ça fait beaucoup d'un coup quand même...

Anyone especially knowledgeable about #Linux #networking and willing to lend me a hand?
This is a bit outside of my usual content, so I'm looking for someone to answer a couple questions about KVM and bridging re: a specific rack server I have.
Hoping to stand up a few tools for organizing. It used to be set up properly, but I've actually forgot how I did it and those old VMs got nuked. 😅
And it just seems faster to ask, while I'm fighting with it.
Boosts appreciated.
@AnachronistJohn apt-get returns 100 on error; that's the apt-get in the middle of the "Command:" and the "Exit code: 100" after it. Word on the Fedi has it Ubuntu has been having some issues with their repository servers lately; that *may* have something to do with it.
I do agree that it could be a lot easier to see what's going on!
Are you OK, #Linux?
I want to run lsiutil
or storcli64
, so I figured I’d install Linux on an external drive.
So I download Ubuntu 24.04.3 Desktop for amd64. It boots, I start an install, and a good 45 minutes later, it says there’s an error. I can’t really see what the error is here, can you?

Dmitry Brant: Using Claude Code to modernize a 25-year-old kernel driver
https://dmitrybrant.com/2025/09/07/using-claude-code-to-modernize-a-25-year-old-kernel-driver
"[…] one of my hobbies is helping people recover data from old tape cartridges, such as QIC-80 tapes, which were a rather popular backup medium in the 1990s among individuals […]
Whenever I receive a QIC-80 tape for recovery, I power up one of my older PC workstations which has the appropriate tape drive attached to it, and boot into a very old version of #Linux (namely CentOS 3.5), because this is the only way to use the ftape driver, which is the #kernel driver necessary for communicating with this tape drive, allowing the user to dump the binary contents of the tape. […]
The trouble is, the ftape driver hasn’t been supported since roughly the year 2000, and was soon removed from the #LinuxKernel for this reason. This is why I’ve needed to run a painfully old version of Linux anytime I have to work with one of these drives. It would be great if ftape worked on a modern distro, with all the benefits and affordances that would provide.
So a couple of weeks ago, it occurred to me to make a simple request to Claude Code: […]"
2/ FWIW, here is another quote from the #Linux 6.17-rc5 announcement:
""I'd claim that it's all small patches, but we do have one larger one: the DLink/Sundance driver was resurrected [after being removed for 6.13-rc1], so in between all the one- and few-liners, there's a revert that brings back 2k lines in the form that driver.""
For more details, see https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8b3332c1331c7c260bdff89bfdfd24ea263be764
#Linux 6.17-rc5 is out:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wh5AyuvEhNY9a57v-vwyr7EkPVRUKMPwj92yF_K0dJHVg@mail.gmail.com/
""Things remain normal - both the diffstat and the commit counts look entirely sane. […]
The one discussion that I was part of that happened last week that might be worth mentioning is that I've been complaining for years about useless "Link:" entries in commit messages that don't point to any new information. […] if that link ends up being just a pointer to the email that became that commit - with nothing else - that allegedly helpful link only added human cost for me.
The same ends up being true when chasing down bug reports.
So please: don't add useless information to commits in general, but in _particular_ don't add "Link:" tags that only point back to the original submission email. […]
Make the links be something *useful*. Make them point to the report for the bug that was the cause of the commit. Make them point to the discussion that explains the impetus for the commit. […]
Make "Link:" tags be something to celebrate, not something to curse because they are worthless and waste peoples time.
Please?

[EDIT] J'ai redémarré l'ordi et maintenant, ça partitionne correctement.
1ère fois que j'ai ça sous Debian 😲
question #linux #debian
Après l'avoir formatée, je crée sur une clé USB une partition ext4 de 8 Go, ou 10Go, ou 15Go, et je n'ai systématiquement que 4,1 Go "inutilisé" dans cette partition.
Et j'ai le même résultat sur mes deux clés USB.
Est-ce uniquement un problème avec mes clés qui seraient pourries ? Ou pourrait-il y avoir un pb dans ce que je fais ?

Here is this week's #Linux and #opensource news video!
in this one, we have a date for the #Cosmic Beta, #GNOME deciding to keep X11 sessions a bit longer, plenty of #SteamOS related news, and more:
Recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05gfIRahZA8 ) and slides (https://static.sched.com/hosted_files/osseu2025/e4/OSS-EU25-Werner-Fischer-The-Power-of-theDevice-Mapper.pdf ) from Werner Fischer's #OSSEU25 talk "The Power of the #DeviceMapper - From Dm-cache To Dm-zoned" are now online.
From the abstract: "The device mapper has been part of the #LinuxKernel since #kernel version 2.6. It allows the creation of virtual block devices by mapping their address space to other block devices or special functions. In this way, it can map physical block devices such as hard disks or SSDs to higher-level virtual block devices. It is the basis for the Logical Volume Manager (LVM), #Linux software RAIDs and dm-crypt encryption, and provides additional features such as file system snapshots.
However, the use of Device Mapper targets is not limited to that. Many other targets offer often unknown features. Most of these are intended for production use. However, there are also some targets designed specifically for debugging.
In this talk, Werner gives a full overview of all Device Mapper targets.
For production use these are: dm-cachd, dm-clone, dm-crypt, dm-ebs, dm-era, dm-integrity, dm-linear, dm-mirror, dm-raid, dm-stripe, dm-switch, dm-thin, dm-unstripe, dm-verity, dm-vdo, dm-writecache and dm-zoned.
For debugging: dm-delay, dm-dust, dm-flakey and dm-zero.
He also briefly shows drbd, md (RAID) and bcache, which, like device mapper targets, can work as devices "on top" of normal block devices."
Je trouve mon ordinateur lent en ce moment.
Je ne sais pas trop si c'est matériel ou logiciel mais j'ai l'impression que les logiciels les plus lents sont ceux que j'ai en flatpak. 🤔
Est-ce qu'il y a un lien de causalité ?
Recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-gBQ_giJrI ) and slides (https://static.sched.com/hosted_files/osseu2025/49/oss-slides-pw-v2.pdf ) from Kundan Kumar's #OSSEU25 talk "Rethinking Writeback: Scaling #Linux Filesystem and Memory Performance for the Next Decade" are now online.
From the abstract: "Linux’s current writeback infrastructure, while robust, was designed before large folios, CXL-tiered memory, and AI workloads demanding low-latency, high-throughput I/O. Today, workloads like RAG pipelines using vector databases with buffered I/O, and memory tiering on CXL, are exposing scalability limits in how the #kernel handles writeback.
This talk presents a forward-looking view on evolving Linux’s writeback model. We’ll explore how the single-threaded design stalls page migration and reduces memory compaction effectiveness—affecting hugepage allocations and folio movement across memory tiers, contributing to fragmentation. On the storage side, parallelizing writeback improves throughput and responsiveness under dirty-page pressure, especially for sustained-write workloads with large memory footprints on High capacity SSDs.
We’ll also touch on early experiments within the kernel community, including efforts to make writeback more filesystem-geometry aware and parallelize it based on overwrites/new allocations.
This session invites open source community to reimagine writeback as a scalable, performance-critical component in Linux. […]"

From the abstract: "End 2020 I became the maintainer of the drivers/platform/x86 (pdx86) kernel subsytem. The subject of this talk is my experience in creating a friendly welcoming environment, growing the pdx86 community and how this helped me to avoid burnout by being able to delegate to community members."

Hey Fedi!

@stepan First thing I would check in that situation is the system logs; particularly anything pertaining to DHCP or any network interfaces. Also check timestamps on /etc/resolv.conf; is it being updated? (That would point toward a DHCP client or lease renewal issue.)
Also check `hosts` in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Are you doing anything special with routing, like a VPN?

A useful combination of options for the #netstat command on #linux is "-n -p -u -t -l -e": show all listening udp and tcp sockets, include program PID and extra information, do not translate numbers.
If you speak german, these options are easy to remember in this order: `netstat -tulpen` -- what means "tulips" 🌷. A single tulip, `netstat -tulpe` turns on number resolution.
#FreeBSD equivalent is `sockstat -l -Ptcp,udp`
@wyatt Personally I'd consider just doing some sort of "#FTP on demand" thing or just have a cheap storage VPS on hand for that (or some #Linux Server on the Network that once-a-day pulls the latest installer file and just redistributes it locally.
A little update for anyone else that is pulling their hair out with this problem... I see threads elsewhere that this is 'a thing' and not just a problem for me.
I've been 'fighting' with the issue on and off while sitting in front of the TV in the evenings for the better part of a week.
I've done everything I can think of... uninstall/reinstall, blow away flatpak entirely, run as root, create a new regular user, purge related files in ~/.local, ~/.config, ~/.var, /var, etc., various combinations of all these things with reboots, etc., etc.
No matter what I try none of the Firefox based browsers will start from flatpak.
Weirdly, with a test VM there is no issue with a flatpak browser. Also, my physical 'big' Intel workstation with the NV 4070S has no problem. Just my laptop has the issue. My laptop is Intel+GTX1650Ti so perhaps there is a 'hunt for the frame buffer' thing happening.
Turns out there is an upstream problem with Firefox and flatpaks that is affecting all the downstream Firefox based browsers.
I reinstalled Firefox-ESR on my broken host (Debian) to ensure I have a working browser going forward. I'll do the same on the other computers as well.
I've also switched my preferred daily driver browser (Floorp) from flatpak to Floorp's PPA and that works perfectly fine.
I know a lot of us have been leery of what happens when Firefox disappears, goes full evil, becomes totally useless due to AI encrusting, whatever... this is a good example that downstream will have issues.
Now to reinstall all the other non-browser flatpaks that were victimized in the troubleshooting. I may have lost my Evolution inbox configurations. Ha!

@triker Also look up "compose key" if you haven't already. The compose key sequences tend to be far easier to remember (and you can generally configure your own if you want to).
Like: [compose] [-] [>] → →

"that escalated quickly..."
in willing deleting some nix user (why nix create so many user?) he have delete all user but 5 ....
broke pacman (pacman need alpm user for sandboxing) and so sddm but hypr was still working when launched on tty.
i did do some quick linux magic (involving google, using help and reading configuration file) and now it's seems to be working.
but i think he will find other way to break linux. kudo to the arch team : with almost no user, the laptop still workish !

I'm at the coolest network meeting for EU gov #OSPO's in Brussels today 🔥🔥
I had an opportunity to talk with Dirk Schrödter, Minister for Digitalization of Schleswig-Holstein (SH), and currently listening to SH @CIO Sven Thomsen's presentation.
SH is so far ahead!! They're implementing #Linux desktops, they're already using #Nextcloud and #LibreOffice, and end of this month all their gov email will be migrated from Microsoft Exchange to #OpenXChange.
I put Linux on a Microsoft Surface Go 3 and it was not just pretty easy, it is also a way better experience and more fun to use the device than it should be considering the hardware never was good. #fedora #linux

#Linux #grub
I do this so infrequently that I forget how and have to figure it out from scratch each time. I'm probably not the only one, so perhaps this reminder will stick in your memory and help you the next time you need to.
To change the default kernel that grub boots:
1) Set GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub
2) Run update-grub
Now here's the tricky part:
3) Use grub-set-default to set the default, but _you have to respect the menu structure of /boot/grub/grub.cfg when doing it_.

Q: How do you figure out whether intermittent network issues are being caused by your computer's network connection vs. upstream packet loss?
Symptoms: A few times per hour I get a network connection failure, but when I repeat whatever just failed it works fine the second time. Some of these failures are reporting "Network as unreachable" as the error.
What are your favorite Linux-based tricks for debugging something like this?

Bon les gens, parlons peu, parlons bien : quelle distribution #linux pour une rescapée de Windows, pour un ordinateur récent acheté sans OS ?
Les critères :
- pas de ligne de commande en usage quotidien (mais possible d'avoir besoin pour paramétrer en cours d'installation vu que ça c'est moi qui vais faire)
- une interface graphique claire, et si possible suffisamment similaire à Windows pour faciliter la transition
- pas vraiment d'usage intense ou spécialisé (pas de jeux vidéo par exemple), mais il serait bien d'avoir un système facile pour l'installation de nouveaux logiciels (je doute de penser à tout moi-même)

Über einen Wechsel zu #Linux nachdenken, wäre auch eine Option. 👍
Habe mich aufgrund Apple's Updatepolitik nach vielen Jahren von MacOS getrennt.
Bei mir läuft #LinuxMint und mein altes MacbookPro wurde heuer dann auch durch ein #LenovoX1 ersetzt.
For Linux (Ubuntu) I find 2 utilities to do battery management on laptops.
laptop-mode-tools and TLP.
Does anyone know if those are 2 means to the same end, or is there a difference?
Today I learned that #LUKS supports key files in addition to passphrases.
I guess I need to update my #KeePass key file generator page and make it more generic.
I've got the weirdest thing happening to all my "Gecko" browsers that are installed via flatpak - they won't launch or crash immediately upon launch.
#Floorp (my daily)
#ZenBrowser
#LibreWolf
#WaterFox
#Firefox
These all will either fail to launch (silently) or will come up with the dialog to launch in safe mode. In the case of Floorp I disabled all extensions and add-ons and it still won't launch.
I've been up/down/left/right on everything I can troubleshoot at this point. I've chased going to previous working versions, back dating stuff like org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default and org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel within flatpak. I've removed all flatpaks and tried reinstalling just a single browser.
Starting in verbose mode just gives the standard sets of errors including "Sandbox: CanCreateUserNamespace() clone() failure: EPERM". Always did this I think but don't know if there is something new to troubleshoot there. I've verified access for the browsers using Flatseal and the home dirs have not changed permissions.
Chromium and Ungoogled FP's work fine... Epiphany FP works fine.
Installs outside of flatpak work fine but I would rather do FP (past me sez dufq?).
Anyone have any other ideas of things to try? Is this a known problem?

Is anyone else tired of the internet’s doom spiral over #Google blocking the installation of unsigned APKs on Android? Yes, it’s concerning. I use #GrapheneOS and rely on F-Droid, so I too care about this. But I’m seeing wild takes that PCs will soon have locked bootloaders and #Linux will be outlawed. That’s… a stretch.

I've got a fairly cheap-ish Arctic Z1 monitor stand. It comes with a USB hub that's supposed to be powered (but mine came with European plugs and the euro -> UK converter never worked right) so I never plugged the powered part of it.
When I plug the USB cable into #Linux I get "Is your USB cable bad?" unless I disconnect all the devices from the hub, plug the hub's USB cable into my laptop and THEN plug the peripherals into the monitor stand's hub.
I get the same thing with Mac OS X except Mac OS X complains "USB devices using too much power and have been disabled" unless I toggle the power on the i-tec docking station that the monitor stand's USB plug is plugged into.
On #FreeBSD it all works with no issues whatsoever.
(It worked on #OpenBSD as well when that was my daily driver).. seems the BSDs are just better written!

The first computer Linux was ever installed on
I stumbled upon an LWN.net article from 2023, in which Lars Wirzenius, a long-time Debian developer and friend of Linus Torvalds, recalls the very early days of Linux - in fact, before it was even called Linux. There's so many fun little stories in here, like how the Linux kernel started out as a multitasking demo written in x86 assembly, which
https://www.osnews.com/story/143231/the-first-computer-linux-was-ever-installed-on/
When I'm asked why OpenBSD is good and that I want to reply honestly, I have no argument.
From a technical point of view, I can't tell any strong benefits using OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD over Linux, although this doesn't mean they are bad.
It would be easy for me to be "cargo-culting" facts, being a "fanboy" or enumerating features that are exclusive to one (and they are rare, except if you are looking for the very very same feature!).
The truth is that what one OS will do better than an other, it will also do worse in another area.
It's important that we keep the BSD systems as relevant Linux alternatives: for software diversity, innovation and freedom of choice.

Good to see that XLibre forked the X11 server so projects depending on X11 can go on further.

UPDATE: I haven't seen Recall in action there. I was just asking the doctor how they'll deal with it.
This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."
In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.
I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.
I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

I built a booting USB stick with fdisk + mke2fs + cp'ing the kernel + grub-install. This is detected and boots fine. #Linux sees the device I want to rescue, but:
```
[sda] Sense Key : Hardware Error [current]
[sda] ASC=0x44 <<vendor>>ASCQ=0x81
[sda] Read Capacity(16) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
```
I can read the whole device on my laptop, so this APU went from booting from it, to not booting from it, to not talking to it.

« 10 applications #Linux qui n’ont plus rien à envier à celles d’Apple en terme d’ergonomie »
Une sélection de #LogicielsLibres faite par @louisderrac qui constate – et je partage cet avis – que d'une manière générale, l'ergonomie de très nombreux logiciels libres utilisables sous Linux s'est améliorée depuis quelques années.
J'ajoute que je ne connaissais pas un seul de ces 10 logiciels, et j'adore cette richesse et ce foisonnement dans le monde du libre !
As I'm finding my way back to active duty in postmarketOS, I'm yet again concluding that I just can't handle maintaining a kernel fork anymore with no upstream in sight.
So this is yet another call for someone to take over rebasing and updating the SDM845 kernel. I'm happy to help deal with regressions, but I'm spending so much of my time lately working on tooling and U-Boot, something has to give and that has been the kernel maintenance.
Joel has done a great job at helping out (and hopefully will continue to do so!) but we're lacking someone to deal with regular updates, get all the devices tested, etc...
If this is something you're interested in and you have some relevant experience please let me know! so many folks are relying on SDM845 devices for their Linux Mobile use or development, so providing some kind of relatively stable platform is pretty important...
Not looking for any xz style maintainers, thanks!

Yesterday, my housemate asked me if I could help her with this PC she got gifted that still had an old Windows install on it. She wanted to play some games on it, but didn't know how to login to the old user accounts.
I installed Bazzite on it and she's been playing games since, with absolutely 0 questions for support. This is especially impressive considering she never touched Linux, nor was she particularly skilled in computers in other areas.
In the meantime, I would like to point out two nice little projects that I now use almost daily on the Linux console: 1.) A music player that basically leaves nothing to be desired. It plays basically all formats, clear UI, displays album covers (if available) and even lyrics if they are available. and: 2.) A slim player for Soma-FM streams.
Relaxed ambient or metal, everything is available and quick and easy to install.

I have a #PCEngines APU4 machine with an external m.2 in a USB encase. It used to boot from it, but not anymore. I used to use a USB stick to boot with some #GRUB + #Linux + initrd ISO image, but can't remember which.
Tried several ISOs (gparted, grml, debian installer, others). Many are not even detected by the (#UEFI less) SeaBIOS 1.12.0.1 (see pic), and the few that do can't be told to boot from another disk.
Need to find or create a BIOS bootable disk, docs and help appreciated.

""In this blog post the new block atomic writes (or untorn writes) feature […] has been developed in #Linux mainline as multiple sub-features, including vfs layer, block layer, block driver, md/dm, and XFS support.""
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/xfs-block-atomic-writes-in-uek8
""What problems does this solve?
Databases - like MySQL - work on a fixed internal page size, which is often larger than the filesystem block size. […]
The downside of using the doublewrite buffer is that data is written twice, thus increasing application latency, decreasing data throughput, and increasing wear on the storage device (and thus decreasing lifespan).
Block atomic writes provides an alternate approach to using the doublewrite buffer, by guaranteeing that we will never experience a corrupted (or torn) InnoDB page committed to the storage device even in the case of an operating system, storage subsystem, or unexpected MySQL process exit in the middle of a write.
When block atomic writes are used by MySQL, a good copy of the page is always available from the InnoDB data files; as such, the doublewrite buffer is not required in that scenario. […]""

So, suppose I'm setting up a Linux-based file server, for Linux-based clients.
Which protocol / server software should I use?
I'm talking about live access to the files on the server, not syncing and stuff. What's stable, secure, and fast (in that order)?
I'd like transparent access, i.e. mount it onto the client machine. It should be able to gracefully deal with disconnects and reconnects.
If there's an option I'm missing, feel free to comment. I'm not considering FTP though. :P

Bonjour tout le monde.
Depuis hier j'essaie d'installer #linux sur un asus #T100TA qui était sous Win 8. Je rame.
Le machin, il est en 64 bits mais nécessite de démarrer sur un fichier EFI en 32 bits. Et je n'arrive pas ajouter ce fichier dans une iso en la conservant bootable.
En plus mes recherches sur internet m'envoient sur des sites générés par IA qui racontent n'importe quoi. Ou alors qui traduisent en français des fichiers de config 😭
mais je progresse...

"It's just part of the job to notify and respond." Well, in many projects it is. But in #Linux it's not, as as participation in stable maintenance officially is totally optional for mainline developers – which is why some developers do not care about it.

Oh my god, Pied JUST WORKS!
I can't believe my ears!
I just installed Pied's flatpak package, let it install Piper, then downloaded the best English voice I could find ("Lessac", the basis for most other voices), and told Pied to set it as the Speech Dispatcher voice…
Now Orca sounds natural, and I can stand using it, for the first time in 20 years.

Linus once again expresses his dislike for "Link" tags in #Linux #kernel commits that link to the last patch submission:
But he (as usual) has a point: ""[…]I get really damn annoyed when I wonder about some context of a commit, and follow a link to look at the background, and all I see is that SAME DAMN PATCH that I already looked at […]""
Sometimes I think we should start using self-generated change-id for patch series[1] and individual patches, which b4 and maintainer scripts then could convert to "Link:" tags that use lore to find the complete history of a patch.
But I guess that would be a really hard sell.
[1] might be nice for stable maintenance as well, as that would allow "this patch was part of a series" lookups, as it might depend on earlier patches from the same series

Hello, oh Fediverse! I'm hoping someone can share some of their wisdom with me.
At some point, the meaning of SUID (at least for Linux, or some distributions of it) changed subtly. In, for example, RHEL 7 and earlier, a SUID process could access things belonging to its original owner - it gained the privs of the new user, but that wasn't exclusive. RHEL 8 and later, a SUID process no longer has access to the privs of the user that launched the SUID binary. In recent Debian and FreeBSD the SUID process doesn't have access to its old user, but I haven't got older versions around to compare.
Is there a backstory or some flag day where this behaviour changed that anyone can remember?
@mason That would be a kernel change, since access rights and process ownership are tracked and enforced by the kernel. So you're looking most likely not for a distribution change but for a kernel setuid semantics change then.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/SafeSetID.rst looks relevant, and suggests kernel version 5.9 may be involved somehow, but that doesn't fit with your mention of RHEL 7 (3.10) and 8 (4.18). Apparently something very like it was in 5.1 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.1/admin-guide/LSM/SafeSetID.html but that's still too recent.

To be usable by the less savvy, the Linux desktop lacks stability. Not software stability, but organizational and human stability.
I want maintainers to have a stable income. I want apps to last a decade, instead of having to chase the next rewrite of an abandoned project.
The Linux desktop is a beautiful accident that only exists because people devote part of their lives to it, for better or worse. We ought to support it financially, as a public service.

2️⃣ Plus risqué, forcer le passage à #Win11 via les qq hacks existants quand le PC est non compatible
3️⃣ Acheter un PC compatible, en neuf/reconditionné/occasion
4️⃣ Payer pour du support étendu #Win10 chez 0Patch (25€/an, 5 ans minimum) ou Microsoft (particuliers : 30€, 1 an seulement)
5️⃣ Continuer à utiliser Win10 sans plus aucune maj, TRÈS fortement déconseillé

@baloo If this is for someone used to Windows, my suggestion would probably be Mint.
If they are willing to learn some differences (seems a reasonable guess given that you've been asked to do this), and want something which will work stably for years with minimal work once set up but may require slightly more work during the installation and *initial* configuration process, then Debian. Trixie is just out (released a few weeks ago) and is quite up to date.
Just in case there is somebody who is using Clear.Dental in production, I want to let everyone know I am making a number of major changes in the next few months (see attached image)
These will be major changes that will help bring Clear.Dental to the mass market. Now that Clear.Dental is the only Open Source EHR/PMS, getting people to switch has never been more important.

Ofcourse, I'll bring up #GNU and the role if played for the success of the Free Operating System that most of us refers to "Linux" today.
