I bring this, wondering how many files in a folder would cause me the same problem I have when I read a /etc/hosts type adblock filterlist with 1 million, or one hundred thousand lines on it...

One million takes a bit to load,  on T430...
A lot Longer time on X230 but loadable.

hi, Have you seen a noticable difference with host addblock?

I had been using ...

# This MVPS HOSTS file is a free download from:            #
# http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm                          #

but unloaded it about 2 months ago and haven't really noticed a flood of adds. offtopic I know, but... ?

I only have .dbus session bus.

/home/glenn/.dbus/session-bus 

there is about 342 items... from june to now... looks like a file for each boot.

Probably safe to delete old files.

If it's the .dbus dir you mean, otherwise seek more advice .

Actually, xorg and wayland while both being bad, have an alternative, its called xenocara.

I cannot find Hyperbola-BSD anywhere.

I do find Hyperbola-Linux.

Did the BSD version get canceled and they stayed with the Linux kernel after all?

I'm pretty sure I have test driven Hyperbol BSD...

I saw this just now... "The developers cite the Linux kernel's adoption of Digital Restrictions Management (DRM), use of the Rust programming language and forced adoption of features in common GNU/Linux components like PulseAudio and systemd as reasons for abandoning Linux and the ecosystem around it.

I like their direction... I've had FreeBSD-12.1 installed... but I ended up using proprietary drivers anyway and had kde5/Plasma looking and behaving the same as my Dev-1 system.

#405 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Chimaera: "apt purge slim" will remove "task-xfce-desktop*" +much more » 2022-11-10 20:45:44

I use Lightdm as well, but I just leave slim alone except for switching off slim at start time.

rc-update del slim default
rc-update add slim off

My system is single user, I set lightdm to auto login (kde5/Plasma).

When in "dependency-hell" I usually re-install all the removed packages if I can copy and paste the list of packages that were/are scheduled to be removed.

That way I can at least then I can begin the cull (of un-wanted packages) again.

This is where the "--no-suggests" may be handy with the apt command. (edited for clarity, GW)

I have a feeling the preview is a non-boot image. Or at least with ver 4 it may have been.

you may search these pages.

but here it is. all the best.

#407 Re: Other Issues » Recovery after a badly failed update » 2022-11-07 01:45:18

Hi, in my experiences because it is a separate device it won't get hosed (deleted or formatted) unless you command it.

I think even a "set partitions automatically for..." depends on the device /dev/sda, /dev/sdb ,

I sometimes put an empty filename as a signal for similar devices. (edit hosed)

#408 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » How disable apparmor? » 2022-11-03 05:58:36

So if i use security=none it should only be for SELinux, Smack, Tomoyo, and AppArmor ?

I think they are all kernel "security" modules. That way you can leave out the apparmor=on/off command from the boot line.

I don't know if there are any others.

#409 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Locate cannot search for files with brackets? » 2022-11-03 05:54:19

this may be off topic, bvut I did notice a message this morning with apt update, a

grep package went through and a notice was given, but I didn't read it all... But,

The note said something like "grep has changed the escape key.. backslash, do I want to continue or use the old/new version.

the security module could be apparmor, selinux, ...

"Examples include SELinux, Smack, Tomoyo, and AppArmor."

so, security= , requires none.

Hi I too miss these tools, GNU/Linux is getting too much like another OS... seems we'll require a savvy tech to change a bash script, because they have slowly taken away all the tools that make GNU/Linux GNU/Linux!

Where is the virtual console shift, alt f1 f6.
What if I want to run shutdown -h now, or killall, or process stop start, or tail -f /var/log/messages, or zcat a man file, or ifup in root and startx in user; etc etc etc etc etc etc.
...
...
P.s., alas, back in the day we used to have shift fn pgup pgdn in console!!

or have networking, and all the hardware operating GUI or not!

...slowly they erode what freedom you/I/we thought we/you/I had.

How can I get these tools (vt, scrolling, wifi and basic networking) back?

#413 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » How disable apparmor? » 2022-10-31 23:17:44

Apparmor may offer sand-boxing for programs but it has cost me performance.

Slow boot times, slow shutdowns, and very slow program launches.

Hi, I add this to grub, similar to HoaS advice above... if apparmor has been setup before...

security=none apparmor=0

All the best.

Glenn do have a config exsample to blacklist hdmi?

Yes I do. I'll put it here but be warned there are many modules that rely/depend on hdmi.

I stopped using the blacklist when I was trying to get BT sound reliably configured.

here is a copy...

/home/glenn/My_system/backup-sys-default/etc/blacklist.conf

# blacklisted modules for PCI coldplug
# see also /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat
blacklist edac_mce_amd
blacklist edac
## Best not to blacklist modules that depend on eachother
blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi  #hdmi nvidia digital stereo
#blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek #hda onboard 5.1 surround
#blacklist snd_hda_intel
#blacklist snd_hda_codec

blacklist rivatv
blacklist bluetooth
# For some bridges both intel-agp and i82875p_edac are loaded. If i82875p_edac

# https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213840
blacklist i82875p_edac

# do not use "Boot Protocol" drivers, we prefer usbhid
# and they cause problems when loaded together with usbhid (#37726, #40861)
blacklist usbkbd
blacklist usbmouse

# disable PC speaker by default
# pcspkr is the standard driver, while snd-pcsp is the ALSA driver
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd-pcsp
blacklist nouveau
blacklist nv

# Prevent conflicts with nvidiabl
blacklist nvidia_bl
blacklist nvbacklight
blacklist mbp_nvidia_bl
# End of entries added for nvidiabl

...in it's totallity... I think that file maybe a leftover from another distro.

I did this instead so the snd-hda* dependants satisfied
/home/glenn/My_system/backup-sys-default/etc/modprobe.d/snd-options

options snd-usb-audio index=0 bdl_pos_adj=16,16
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd_hda_codec_hdmi index=-2
options snd-pcsp index=-2

current /home/glenn/.asoundrc

#defaults.pcm.!card 0 #hdmi
#defaults.ctl.!card 0 #hdmi

#defaults.pcm.card 1 #usb-audio
#defaults.ctl.card 1 #usb-audio
# Generic_1
defaults.pcm.Generic_1 #usb-audio
defaults.ctl.Generic_1 #usb-audio

I don't have it blacklisted anymore.

current /etc/modules

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
snd-usb-audio

Hope this helps.

zfsutils-linux maybe in backports... for chimaera.

You may add backports the same way you added contrib, as mentioned above.
