I am trying to use the terminal to perform a chksum on a downloaded iso file. The instructions for doing this state to go to the folder of the file and to enter in the terminal the command: md5sum foxclone_std-50-06.iso . The response is no such file or folder found. I have tried using the command ...

Except I can't access it.
The installations seem to go fine but WIne never appeared.

It was probably installed when you wrote that comment. ^^

And you accessed it when you entered wine --version; wine usually doesn't "appear".

This fixed a lot of QT quirks for me In ~/.profile add export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct Also ocenaudio's fonts were too small, so I launch it like QT_FONT_DPI=128 ocenaudio "$*" < 96 makes fonts smaller; > 95 makes hem bigger Edit: there's also a way of a making qt programs use gtk3 setti...

Check pavucontrol, "Playback" tab, for a list of programs making noises. (though it might not include those connected to alsa without using pulseaudio)

Exit firefox, then try this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

firefox -safe-mode

Put this in those scripts instead of the mail command:

Code: Select all

zenity --warning --text "Disk Full"

You can fancy-it-up by adding info to the message.

I'd really like to avoid figuring out what's on the old drive and reinstalling everything from scratch... That's actually pretty easy: just get a list of all your installed packages and use that list to install them on the new OS. synaptic: File->Save Markings, sudo apt list --installed dpkg -l

I've been running pipewire and easyeffects, just for a headphone EQ, but easyeffects has been flaky in several ways, so I was lucky enough to find jamesdsp to replace it.

exist an application for alert when disk space its full? There are a bunch of example on the insectnet, like: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tech-tip-send-email-alert-when-your-disk-space-gets-low I'd change the "mail" warning/command to a zenity warning: https://help.gnome.org/user...

How can I sort all 8,000 of them into a random order? Would this do it? (foobar2000) shuffle-tracks.jpg Edit: Oops nevermind the above...although you might be able to create a playlist with the files in a random order using 'shuffle'. Make a list of your files ( find -iname "*mp3" > file-...

Yes, there's no point in running all the commands a"at once" if the first one(s) don't work

So you know where they are, and the title of your post is incorrect.

In a terminal, cd to that directory and do:

Code: Select all

ls -al
file <one of the filenames you can't open>

I downloaded exodus wallet from the software manager, but now the wallet software needs an update. You downloaded it or installed it? They're not the same. If you installed it, you should update thru the regular apt/synaptic/sw-manager software. When you run sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade...

It showed me a pretty broken login screen, it looks like it may have been trying to load the login screen styles from my previous Plasma theme. Hopefully I’m able to fix it and it all looks good again. You probably have to install a lightdm-*-greeter; there are a few, I dunno which one is the defau...

FWIW, I had installed pipewire on an Arch distro a year or more ago, and it used considerably more CPU than pulseaudio (IIRC, around 10% total for pipewire+pipewire-pulse, vs .8% for pulseaudio), so I removed it. Just tried it again and pipewire* is using about 2% (on arch), so I'm leaving it instal...
