I’ve had a lot of success with Lutris for apps you wouldn’t expect.

I had a Tough Book that I had to run a one-liner script on boot so I could have sound. It was something to do with alsamixer. I remember that I couldn’t get any audio out of the silly thing without that script unless I plugged in and then removed headphones. Loved that machine though!

Oh man! Now I have to go to my (free) optometrist to have my eyes unrolled!

I’m in Canada. I’m just going broke for my inability to work, not from medical bills.

A cure to whatever the heck is wrong with me! Hell, even a diagnosis would be nice…

I have not, and I will check! If that’s all it is… It’s been finicky for years!

My friends bought me a litter robot, too. I have mixed feelings. I seem to have to reset and fiddle with the thing too often, but when it works, it’s really good for keeping the smell down. My guys use it more often than the other two old school boxes, so I guess two paws up from them?

Just a guess: model rocket?

LVM is a bit more complicated than just using a normal partition, but it does add a lot of functionality. If you need to make an LVM volume bigger, you can just add another disk to the volume. You can also do RAID like stuff with it. Live resizing of volumes is doable too.

I think some LVM stuff can be done in Disks, but I generally just use the command line. Smarter people, are there graphical LVM utilities I don’t know about?

“The chances of anything coming from Mars, are a million to one.” He said.

I will try that!

I feel dumb for asking, but I did this and wow! Is the usb drive formatted as NTFS? Steam in Linux does not work on an NTFS partition. I read all of your day 1, and now I feel invested.

Hmm… Shot in the dark here… smb://username:password@ipaddress/sharename/ ? I have an OAF router with a USB port that’s samba shareable, and I just got to my files by going: smb://phanto:testpass@192.168.1.1/share If you can get it to work once, it’s a heck of a lot easier to get a simple fstab mount so your share just sits in a folder, accessible at boot. I know I’m Windows, you can keep a Z drive, I just have a /media folder. Anyone whose smarter than me know what might be the issue?

I’ve had some weird issues with the Fedora file explorer not liking windows shares in the past. A few things to try: Down at the bottom left, click the “+ other locations”, and where it says “enter server address” I use: smb://perplex.local/mediabay/ Perplex is the name of the computer with the share. Mediabay is the shared drive. If I don’t put in the .local, Nada. If I don’t put in the slash, again Nada. Then, it asks me to log in. I put in my username and password, and if I forget to change the domain in the popup from SAMBA to WORKGROUP, again I get nothing. Also, the WORKGROUP has to be in all caps.

Then I hit connect. Then, I can browse. Also, literally everything has to be in the correct case. smb://Perplex.local isn’t the same as smb://perplex.local.

Agreed, it’s a pain. However…! Linux has much choice. The file explorer in Fedora isn’t my favorite. (It’s called nautilus, by the way.) I prefer a file explorer called thunar.
Thunar, for some reason, buries accessing shares in the “Go” menu under “Open Location…”, but seems to work better than nautilus for mounting shares.

Once you have it mounted via Thunar, it just shows up on the list in nautilus as well, and once it’s mounted, I use VLC to play shares all the time with no trouble.

I could get into how to use mount points and stuff, but baby steps… It’s just different. Not ‘ass’, just odd. I’ve been Linux-ing for a few years now, and find myself back in Windows for school, and there’s all kinds of Windows bullshit that makes me want to scream, it’s just that it’s different bullshit than the Linux bullshit.

The spice must flow…

I see that spice is a grayed-out option in Proxmox, is it relatively easy to get it going?

Thunar

I know this isn’t a real answer, but it’s what I use as a stop gap measure… I basically have a text file called buffer, and ssh into the VM on a terminal on my host, and paste into the buffer file.

I know it’s lame, but for simple text and stuff, it works. For things like files and pics, I use a shared drive.

If someone has a better answer… Please let me know!

My rule is basically: If it’s visually interesting, such as a good graphic novel or something with good art, I might go and buy the physical book after I’ve read it digitally. Otherwise, if I intend to lend it out, I’ll get the physical copy. Most of my friends aren’t e-book people, so it makes sense.

It’s slangy, for sure. It’s said in a way where the rest of the sentence is not explicitly stated but implied. Like, "Now I put the cheese… " (On the burger), and then I put the bun. (Again, on the burger.) It’s not terribly uncommon, but it does happen.
