@blackhole, pretty sure if they below 5, they are mostly irrelevant, but if they above 7 they are a huge problem hence why I asked the severity of the vulnerabilities.

Although, I suppose their stability method could also have security problems.

#2 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » Yesterday 06:23:55

It doesn't sound much different than gnewsense though in my opinion. Yet the FSF wasn't telling them to change trademarks.

I guess because the name itself looks different even if they sound very similar when spoken out loud.

#3 Re: Off-topic » Trying to explain what happened with Cloudflare? » Yesterday 06:12:17

blackhole what is the severity of those bugs though... how high are they rated? like 1-10

I meant debian because its known for stability. Not the security aspect lol.

Actually, I think my file manager is having a glitch or something because everywhere else indicates it has been raised to the correct amount of memory.

EDIT: Maybe its not the file manager, because I tried doing lvextend -l +100%FREE to my volume and it acted like it had the old amount of storage... very weird.

Very peculiar indeed...

/dev/volume/home seems to have 1.79TB (lsblk command)

but home folder only has 443GB when I check it with lvextend +100%FREE (spacefm)

Very peculiar...

EDIT FIGURED IT OUT!

resize2fs /dev/myvolume/home was the final touch.

cfdisk /dev/sda in live image or w/e
partprobe
lvextend -L +100%FREE /dev/mapper/matrix-home
#####must be in devuan after gparted unlocks luks (did so via usb persistent install)
resize2fs /dev/matrix/home

That's how I did it.  SOLVED.

@ralph

Fair enough, but would showing you vgdisplay, pvdisplay, help

EDIT: I figured out the next step,

had to do this:

lvextend -L +100%FREE /dev/mapper/matrix-home

with gparted disabling luks encryption temporarily

Now I need to go from there.

its now in the physical volume but not yet the virtual volume, etc...

EDIT ONE MORE:

It still doesn't show in my file manager or home the change. yet.

@ralph not even close to the truth, I don't know why you said that

#8 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] resizing after a diskclone to recover reclaimed space » 2025-12-02 13:17:48

@ralph more or less it didn't work I mean.

Funny thing is, I did this long ago and got it to work. I forget the guide I found though.

Its online somewhere, but... I can't find it easily.

#9 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] resizing after a diskclone to recover reclaimed space » 2025-12-02 12:53:56

@ralph Hmm not working...

@Vert yes I did clone a smaller to a bigger. I forget if e2fsck, partimage, partclone or something else is needed

I have done the following:

cfdisk /dev/sda in live image or w/e
partprobe

and now my lvmvg matches the luks volume size.

However, I am trying to rezize my home partition volume and it keeps saying stuff like there is nothing to add.

I have 476.6G of 1.8 TB being used currently used, so I know there is something wrong

Can someone help me out here?

CLI instructions required btw.

#11 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-11-30 04:02:37

aitor, you working on Excalibur? Just wondering when that version coming out.

#12 Re: DIY » usb controllers and qemu » 2025-11-28 07:02:09

If your Hyperbola uses udev then it should work the same.

And by the way, the group doesn't have to be "plugdev"; that's just a (has been) convention. The key point is that due to that udev rule, the device node at /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy gets set up so that any user in that group have read-write access to it.

So I could put group wheel there as well or something else entirely huh. Sounds good. I would probably try kvm then.

#13 Re: Off-topic » Trying to explain what happened with Cloudflare? » 2025-11-28 01:50:03

One line of code caused all that?

I thought the web was built more like debian, not archlinux LOL.

I once made one tiny mistake in mkinitcpio.conf in Hyperbola and it wouldn't boot it dropped me to a shell.

The issue?

I didn't remove the parentheses from the i915 line

And therefore, I kept getting it borked every time I tried. lol.

This feels like that kind of situation.

#14 Re: DIY » usb controllers and qemu » 2025-11-28 01:47:16

@ralph.ronnquist I wonder... if this would work in non-debian distros like Hyperbola as well.

Currently, I see no plugdev group in Hyperbola until I made one.

This is why I kind of wanted to get this working. big_smile

#15 Re: DIY » usb controllers and qemu » 2025-11-26 04:43:13

To that end you might for example add GROUP="plugdev" appropriately in /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules, and make the user member of the plugdev group, and then the user gains access right whenever the device is blugged in.

It's also possible to refer to the device using the bus and device id.

How can I pass the whole GROUP="plugdev"

to /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules

Where in that rule file would I put it and what do I put before it?

I see stuff like SUBSYSTEM ACTION KERNEL AND LABEL

But I don't know where I would put it.

Also, you are speaking of putting this into the host OS right?

Let me know ralph, as I have tried this but it isn't showing up in my vm.

Its peculiar.

EDIT: Btw, when I boot up my image, all I see is this all I see is two lsusb mentions. and neither are my usb adapter that I am using.

via lsusb in my terminal that is

You know a situation is stupid when marketing is the only reason something prevails over something else.

like rust vs fil-C

or systemd, or pulseaudio, pipewire, avahi, dbus, networkmanager and their libraries forced down people's throats.

But hey, that seems to be the norm. I don't get why... but it is the reality.

#18 Re: Off-topic » Trying to explain what happened with Cloudflare? » 2025-11-21 04:46:57

from what I have heard, they tried to recreate their code in rust and that led to the problems.

Further proof that rust isn't a silver bullet and that its overly hyped

#19 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Why does Trixie/Excalibur have two Nvidia driver versions (535 / 550)? » 2025-11-15 00:45:14

I have an AMD cpu, there are loads of AMD cpus without IGP, both current and older generations, recent Intel cpus without IGP are far less common but they do exist too.

Didn't know that there were amd or intel cpus that had no integrated graphics cards in them.

#20 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Why does Trixie/Excalibur have two Nvidia driver versions (535 / 550)? » 2025-11-15 00:43:29

@steve_v Current GPU is using less than 5w, while writing this and doing general desktop stuff. When I want performance... You get what you pay for (in watts).

I don't understand obsessing over idle power consumption, particularly when it's on-par with a network card or additional SSD.

Fair enough, I didn't realize that the power usage was thatt low. I wonder how much it uses when nvidia is the graphics card being used though.

#21 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Why does Trixie/Excalibur have two Nvidia driver versions (535 / 550)? » 2025-11-14 03:30:53

@tux_99 what kind of cpu do you have? I thought intel and amd both had their own individual graphics card functionality built in.

#22 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Can't suspend, reboot, or shut down in a WM » 2025-11-14 03:29:18

@stultumanto No idea why, but that was easier to do in doas for me.

I think the syntax was just trickier for me is all. doas syntax is much simpler is all.

Those of us who have been using Linux for decades have done our part. Now, it's up to the younger generation to acquire that knowledge or it will just be a footnote in history . . . or not even that. So saddle up if you want to save apt or any of the other code that is being hijacked to turn Linux into windows.

An open source windows? Isn't that what reactos is for?

...
But yeah, we don't need linux to become like windows.

#25 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Why does Trixie/Excalibur have two Nvidia driver versions (535 / 550)? » 2025-11-11 00:37:11

@steve_v I don't use nvidia either... I tend to think, myself, why bother having an additional graphics card. They waste electricity even if you aren't using them and a lot more if you are.
