Re: Some curious data regarding hard drive stats
Size, taking Kdiskmark as an example - something I would use rarely and it wants 2.5GB drive space. Yes, I know subsequent flatpaks require less. I'm running on a 40GiB

Re: Flatpak and deb apps don't follow set dark theme colors in some Windows
I know backintime uses QT, I think virtualbox uses it and I think vscode uses electron. You can google "does x use QT" and/or play around with QT5 settings and see if it makes a difference: Screenshot from 2024-04-19 12-58-55.png This will affect any QT application installed from deb, so r...

Re: Fan control on MSI laptop
It does work with something I pulled from github: https://github.com/dmitry-s93/MControlCenter I had to disable secure boot to make this work. However, I would like to make it work without random "3rd party" software from github, and I wonder if there might be something I didn't try yet? ...

Re: “Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found”
I don't believe this has anything to do with multi-media codecs. I have never had a problem with them during install and don't believe "this issue is fairly common". What are your sources that indicate this is common? Failed to load image Failed to start MokManager: Not Found Suggests an i...

Re: Do I need to turn off BitLocker to install Linux?
With bitlocker enabled you will not get the option to "install alongside" win. The installer does not understand bitlocker, you need to use win's disk management utility to shrink C: and leave the space unallocated. Then you will get the "install alongside" option. With bitlocker...

Just checked, Kdiskmark is in software manager, but a flatpak, so it won't get installed in my system.

Re: Best virtual machine for Linux development
I use VirtualBox. It has its' quirks, but I understand how to use it & am happy with the results I get. Same, I know how to use it, comfortable. If I were starting again I might go down the qemu/kvm route based on it being faster, but I'm not starting again. Another alternative is VMware. I did...

I did tell you that was only for win filesystems, but the best learning is by making mistakes and that one will stick. You can now consider yourself fluent in fstab or at least semi-literate

Re: Adding menuentry lines into Linux Mint GRUB
Legacy = the old way of installing/booting systems (dates back to the 1980's), UEFI = the new way (since about 2010). Doesn't matter which distro, linux installs in the same mode your install stick boots in. So you need to boot your fedora install stick in UEFI mode. To do that, disable the CSM flag...

Re: Adding menuentry lines into Linux Mint GRUB
Based on your last posts I can explain it. OS-prober (used by grub) will only find other OS installed in the same mode. Win is installed in UEFI mode: path \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI Both fedora and mint are installed in legacy mode, but... With LM21 when you install in legacy mode, it also cr...

Re: Issue while booting up
What MiZoG has suggested will work, but requires you to use a terminal text editor (sudoedit). You might find it more comfortable to use a GUI text editor. When you have mounted your / partition ( sudo mount /dev/sda4 /media/myborkedsystem ), open your file manager (nemo if cinnamon), navigate to /m...

Re: HDD Storage Mounted Poorly?
Excuse me if my post was ambiguously worded. The drive IS mounted at /mnt. Would it be advisable to create a new mount point mnt/USER and remount the drive at that mount point? Yes, if you add further drives/partitions and want to mount them in /mnt . In linux you can mount partitions anywhere you ...

Re: Adding menuentry lines into Linux Mint GRUB
It sounds like all three OS are booting legacy. You can confirm in mint/fedora with efibootmgr . If it says EFI variables are not supported it is legacy, anything else is UEFI. In win I think msinfo32 tells you. I'm speculating, but you are booting fedora off a drive with a gpt partition table and a...

Re: Boot Errors: Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD, and Timed out waiting for device /dev/disks/by-uuid/
Obvious question - when you installed win10 it will have put itself at the top of your BIOS boot list. Have you been in BIOS and put "ubuntu" back at the top? Do you still have an ubuntu entry in your BIOS boot list? If it was in the EFI partition on your win drive it probably got wiped by...
