@floppingfish Might check places on your desktop.
@1984 Glad for you. I think some of my issues arise from the fact that I only use it occasionally, keys get stale.
@floppingfish It says operation already pending. In Ubuntu and many other Linux distros, when you plug in a USB device it mounts automatically, take a look at df and see if you don’t have a new partition mounted somewhere you didn’t expect.
@pastermil If you want a newer kernel than is provided in the apt package manager, you can download the latest from kernel.org, unxz it with unxz kernel-version.tar.xz, then untar it. It will give you a directory like linux-6.14.6, cd to that directory and do a make mrproper to remove any residual crap that might have been left there by the maintainer or a previous build, then if you want the stock debian configuration copy the current config file from /boot to .config, then make any adjustments to the .config, including some automatic adjustments that get made for your environment with make config, make menuconfig, makexconfig, make gconfig, whatever you prefer. For xconfig and gconfig which are graphical configuration GUIs you may need to install some libs that aren’t installed by default on Debian but ARE provided in your apt package manager. Then make -j$(NPROC) bindeb-pkg, for example on my machine 18 cores, 36 threads, I would do make -j36 bindeb-pkg to fully utilize the CPU cores, on the 18 core machine this takes about 7 minutes, on my 8 core workstation about 18, when it’s done you’ll be left with three or four .deb packages (depending upon whether or not save DEBUG is turned on or off in the kernel config). When you are done install the packages with dpkg -i *.deb, check /boot and your new kernel should be installed.
1·2 days ago@possiblylinux127 To be sure, but I assume since he was formerly running Windows performance wasn’t an issue. No, it’s obvious he is more concerned with getting the clutter factor down so he stated a preference for a single large drive, and if data isn’t important or backed up some other media fine. If not, then you risk losing your data because sooner later drives fail. If performance was really the goal he’d raid a bunch of nvme drives together. This, by the way, is what I do for the system that runs this friendica node, along with an 18 core processor and 256 gb of RAM.
@sommerset You can always compile your own kernels for Debian, I’m running 6.14.6 on debian:
Linux debian 6.14.6 #1 SMP Sat May 10 15:48:59 PDT 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
@possiblylinux127 @applemao I wouldn’t worry so much about efficiency as redundancy, better to have at least two drives and set up a RAID1 array, and given that the Linux kernel already has RAID, NFS, etc, I don’t see the point in being dependent upon additional software such as TruNAS. That said yes it’s just a matter of copying files to move the data over BUT a windows executable often will not work in a LInux environment even with wine, particularly if it contains what is known as a rootkit anti-cheat. You can however fairly easily setup a windows vm under linux.
@applemao Yep, I would just mount the windows partitions on /mnt one at a time and copy the data where you want to go, cp -a /mnt/data/ /newlocation/data/
@Intheflsun @Floopquist What I meant is that I do not think you can have it discharge the battery when AC is present without altering the PD chips firmware.
@Floopquist I don’t think that you can do that without altering the firmware on the PD chip.
@oyzmo I would start by going into Network Manager, delete all the interfaces, and rebuild from scratch, then reboot and try again.
