Tysm, @[email protected] and @[email protected].

[Resolve]
DNS=1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
FallbackDNS=8.8.4.4

I added this to the file /etc/resolv.conf and it's working again.

What can I do to fix the problem here?

Well the machine's time is off by a few hours after I power it off for a night. So the time is incorrect right now. This might explain why it suddenly stops when I wake up and reopen it a day after installation. Should I manually set the correct time to fix it?

This is an Acer Aspire one laptop, with a 32 bit CPU and Debian 12.7. Whenever I install Linux on it, the Internet works for about one day. And when I boot it up the next day, it just stops working. This is the case for WiFi, Ethernet and USB tethering via Android.

After running networkctl it gave me this:

I can ping 8.8.8.8 in this state, but not gnu.org. I can't open websites in Firefox either.

Then I ran "sudo systemctl start systemd-networkd". The networkctl output changed but everything worked exactly as the above two images. Couldn't open websites still.

Yesterday everything was working perfectly

Edit: Thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] I finally have internet access on my 12-year old e-waste!

Download Navi hasn't been updated in 3 years. Will it be a security risk if I keep using it? Are there any good alternatives if it is a risk? in c/[email protected]

Firefox's default in-built download manager is hot garbage. It is so much more reliable to download multiple large files at once with a resource-friendly download manager.

I did perform the self-test function, the long version that says it will take 10s of minutes. Some of the errors were displayed with red text before the test. After the self test, it said that my drive passed and all the red errors showed up as "Old age" in black text, every single one.

(This is in the GUI app for smartctl)

It'd be bad if I were working on something and the entire thing just suddenly broke down before I have the time to save and backup 😅

I used the GUI program for SMART and the list of issues got marked as "old age", all of them.

It's the same error, no matter how many times I reinstall. I assume it's a hardware issue

Yeah the important stuff is backed up, but I am still concerned my entire OS will suddenly go kaput. How fucked am I?

I still browse through the political communities occasionally but I hate how their posts absolutely dominate the main page by default.

Now you can thank yourself for making that good decision!

I can't delete files in my old ntfs partition from when I had windows. [fedora, kde plasma] {EDIT: I messed up} in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah..... I am so sorry but I'm just a beginner and all I see here is a bunch of jargon. I am trying the solution that @nightwatch_admin has suggested here at the moment.

Could you please point me to some sort of simple guide/video? If that's not too big of a hassle

This laptop has one hard disk with two partitions. One of them has a bunch of data. I can't delete the data at all, dolphin(the file manager) gives a "not enough permissions error". When I try to delete stuff with rm it displays this:

rm: cannot remove 'filename': Read-only file system

What do I do?

EDIT: I backed up the data and reformatted the partition. This completely broke my install and fedora wouldn't open at all. I popped in a live USB, backed up some other stuff and I am reinstalling fedora right now (writing this from the live installer :P)

I had installed Debian on an Acer Aspire One Laptop. It has a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU with just 1GB of RAM. I obviously can't run it like a usual desktop anymore, it's way too slow.

I tried it to connect it to my TV with HDMI to create some sort of "Smart TV" setup, but that didn't work out because I can't even play 1080p videos on VLC with it smoothly.

So.... What now? Can I only use it for headless stuff like pihole, nextcloud, etc. now?

Is there any hope left for my unsuccessful "Smart TV" contraption?

Absolutely loving Linux btw (lemmy.ml)
 

Couldn't run Windows 7, and Windows 10 ran like shit. My old PC basically got a second life with Linux.

This is Half-Life GOTY running on Wine, runs really smooth.

The only downside is lack of directX support, OpenGL is there but the integrated graphics card only supports till OpenGL 2.1, which is not enough for many things, and also slower than directX. Still, my PC feels much faster now, and doesn't scream like a demon whenever I open up a browser :)

(Maybe I should dual boot Win7(While never connecting it to the web), just to play some more games with DirectX?)

Also, my local hospital has started using Ubuntu, their old PCs also couldn't handle the heavy burden of running Windows I guess 🤣

How do I uninstall my browser along with all its data? (lemmy.ml)
 

I recently installed chromium, created a new user and logged into a website. After my work was done, I removed chromium with "sudo dnf remove chromium".

A few days later I installed chromium again through dnf. My user account was still there and I was logged into the same site.

Is there a way to avoid this and uninstall an app along with all its user data?

Trying to rescue a 1GB RAM laptop (lemmy.ml)
 

I had an Aspire One D270 laptop with a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU and 1 gigabyte of RAM, so I installed Debian with Xfce on it, but even then it's running way too slow.

Is there anything I can do to make the laptop faster and more responsive given its limited memory?
