Re: Can't access GRUB after system board replacement

If you really are booting in legacy mode then you probably need to set the drive with Grub MBR as primary in BIOS. Or install Grub to the MBR of your primary drive. This will overwrite previous MBR code of course. Another problem is when you used GPT then there is not enough space for Grub before fi...

Re: Samba and unix extensions

1. NFSv4 is secure enough to be used over internet.
2. So keep using SAMBA for your non-NFS devices.

Your initial post was about two Linux boxes.

Does your Android need to write or read only? If latter then fire up any light HTTP server on your NFS/SAMBA share and all files become downloadable.

Re: Can't access GRUB after system board replacement

I guess you booted in EFI mode before. When you replaced the board you should have re-created the entry for Grub EFI executable in firmware, Linux tool for this is efibootmgr. That's all. Your MBR is ignored in EFI mode. Another option is to copy Grub EFi executable to EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi - this is...

Re: Distorted sound when playing via HDMI

Sorry, I have no answers. Just happened to see this and remembered how digital audio was supposed to work. The idea was to pass through digitized sound without any processing. Because every resampling is loss of quality. All adjustments were supposed to be in the analog side, after DAC. (I've never ...

Re: Syncing entire computer with rsync

Computer programs run from RAM, this was the very cause RAM was invented. So you copy your binaries into RAM and then when they are executed they will be copied into another region of RAM ... I fail to see the rationale here?

Re: Moved Linux partition GRUB only booting old partition

You don't need LVM or other voodoo, often cleaning out old deb files is enough. Simple symlinking makes it possible to have directories on other filesystems. Some directories can be moved with changing variables.
In any case, running out of space should begin with investigation why it happened.

Re: Can't get Xorg to work - amdgpu/DRM KMS not loaded?

I'm not looking at your logs, dmesg is where kernel initialization is and it is not there. It may be the KMS driver in older kernel does not support your AMD card. Unfortunately your lspci is useless, there is no PCI-ID in it. You should use 'lspci -knn' to see it. Once you have the PCI-ID you can c...

I do not use Thunderbird, but I have it installed for Wife. Now she did something with her phone and Gmail won't let Thunderbird connect any more.

- If You have less or equal to 4GB RAM -> definitely i386 (*1) Poor advice. 2 GB and more is 64-bit land. 32-bit support is getting worse, due to reduced user base. In addition, proprietary applications tend not to offer 32-bit versions any more. Plus, going over 1 GB with 32-bit already comes with...

You should choose the computer keeping in mind its purpose, right now you have the cart before horse. In many cases virtual machines can eliminate the need for buying more hardware altogether.

For all users who have this "commands not working" issue. I have a recommendation. Every time you have a coffee break take one command from /bin or /sbin and read up on it. Won't take long, your commands will start working.

Re: sudo

Why not use 'sudo -i', this will log you in as root even if the system has inactive root account, does the same as 'su -'. Disabling sudo and using su makes sense only if you want to make sure user password cannot be used for root access.

Not only software (driver) is developed, so is the hardware. Your card may not have the features this game needs. What cannot be processed in [your] hardware will be done in software, therefore slow.

There are several possible configurations possible with such hardware. Is it Optimus? Something else? You can't make it work without knowing how these cards work together.

Re: Realtek rtl8168/rtl8169 - is there a proven fix?

The probability is high you have hardware failure. In other words, you wouldn't be the first one who has Realtek NIC gone bad. Get Intel, they make real NIC's. Realtek NIC is like winmodem, and Intel is like real hardware modem, if you remember those.
