I think its because I don't have the efi partition mounted at /boot but also /boot already exists and has stuff in it 🤔

#linux

why do all these documents suggest a 1GB uefi partition

thats not happening, the partition is only 1MB and its the first one so I cant resize it

#linux

and even after all that, from the rescue environment when I try to install the kernel: `error: command failed to execute correctly`

what the fuck #arch #linux

How do I figure out what pacman is even doing when I do -S linux? like what script is it running so I can run each step manually and see what's erroring #arch #linux

@ken_fallon @paulgatling @klaatu Got around to looking up SparkyLinux this evening and the Web site put me off, probably forever. #Linux

Top right shows Microsoft's sleek modern building labeled "Windows". Bottom image shows a man standing in a modest home office setup, labeled "Linux", humorously suggesting Linux has no official headquarters.

Fantastic summary of the sad state of sharing knowledge on the internet.

Thanks for sharing on Perfect Media Server.

Another call out for help in the #Linux and #nixos community!

We REALLY want to get the #nixbook installer to be able to install #flatpak during (or right after) the calamares installation.

Currently its installing on first boot of nixbook, but it's janky, and causing some downstream issues.

I FEEL LIKE this should be fixable.

Again, the issue is that we want to install a handful of flatpaks after the nixos build, but it gets cranky with no DBUS.

https://github.com/mkellyxp/nixbook-installer/issues/4

Wish I could figure out what program on this new #Debian #Linux #Trixie install keeps creating an empty ~/Documents directory that I don't use or want.

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sQCgwJsM9g/

Anyone know how to fix this? My #NixOS Laptop over the last 6 months or so has had this issue where #iwlwifi crashes and I have to modprobe it out and back in to fix my wifi. The module is a Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 73) (according to lspci)

It happens on the Zen and normal (LTS and Latest) Kernels.

For the first time ever, I will be setting up a KDE booth in Japan at OSC ― Open Source Conference 2025 Tokyo/Fall!

I will be at Asakusa's Taitō-kan(東京都立産業貿易センター台東館), on 2025/10/25 (Sat.) from 10:00 〜 16:00 for the OSC event!

If you are near Tokyo, or have some interest in Linux or Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) in general, please feel free to say hi to me at the conference!

I will be the one promoting the awesomeness of KDE to all the people at the event! There's no entrance fee so please feel free to take a peek around if you end up in Asakusa!

Symbolic links vs Hard links in Linux. What's the difference? Why would you use one over the other? What limitations do each have? If you'd like to know these answers, check out this episode of Red Hat's Into the Terminal.

@OrionKidder @murdoc yes #Linux is the kernel, but #GNU is the stuff around the engine that makes the car usable (not always because there are alternatives, but most of the time). So all the basic things like chassis, wiring, exhaust pipe, steering wheel, electronics, windshield wipers, pedals, etc. Also tools to assemble the car of course.
The DE is just the nice, shiny surface that people usually interact with.

There's a #Firefox addon that fills out those "can we please track you forever?" cookie popups. I used it for years and loved it, but I lost it in a reinstall, and I cannot for the life of me remember what it's called.

it shows up as a dark blue box with light blue highlighting. If anyone knows what it is, please tell me. I miss it dearly.

Edit: SOLVED! It's consent-o-matic.

Out of sheer curiosity, my wife just set up her first #Linux on a computer via the #Debian 13 #Trixie netinstall: https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ via USB thumb drive I provided for her.

I was sitting nearby but she accomplished the task all by herself. I just explained what "LVM" means as this was not explained properly by the Debian installer.

You can do it as well!
