What Linux distro surprised you the most? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Decency8401@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

Tails is easily the distro which surprised me the most. This is because, even tough I would rate myself a well aware privacy advocate, I didn't expect to see a full suite of privacy tools. I somehow just expected, that it would be just the Tor Browser and nothing more. I don't know what I thought tough. I need to mention, that Tails was one of my first distros I've used so I was kind of mindblown that all these tools could fit onto a USB Thumb drive.

What is the largest file transfer you have ever done? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

A few years back I worked at a home. They organised the whole data structure but needed to move to another Providor. I and my colleagues moved roughly just about 15.4 TB. I don't know how long it took because honestly we didn't have much to do when the data was moving so we just used the downtime for some nerd time. Nerd time in the sense that we just started gaming and doing a mini LAN party with our Raspberry and banana pi's.

Surprisingly the data contained information of lots of long dead people which is quiet scary because it wasn't being deleted.

Problem with File transfer (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Hello Everybody I've been encountering a recent occurred Problem with my installation of Debian 12. When I plug in my Phone (Fairphone 4) to transfer some large files, it won't get recognized, which is odd because I do this every few Weeks and since a couple of months this keeps happening. It will something like:

Malformed URL mtp:udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-7/.

Or

Unable to open MTP device "002,086".

I've installed gMTP, but that won't recognize my devices either. I also tried to manually go to the media and mnt directory but found nothing. Likewise, I switched cables, Phones and USB Ports.

At first, I thought it was a Dolphin issue because when I switched to the Thunar File Manager everything seemed to be flawless, but now it's even occurring on Thunar.

These are my Specs if it helps.

  • OS: Debian 12 bookworm
  • Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64
  • DE: KDE 5.103.0 / Plasma 5.27.5
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 @ 8x 4GHz
  • GPU: GeForce 720

Any Comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Issue with KDE Plasma 5 and Spotify in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Thanks, that fixed it. I did not know that Spotify has its own settings.

Issue with KDE Plasma 5 and Spotify (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hey everyone,

I'm facing an issue with KDE Plasma 5 on Debian 12. Whenever I skip a song on Spotify, the notification sound plays. I've come across suggestions in other forums to simply mute notifications, but I still want to receive notifications. Therefore, muting notifications is not an option for me.

I have disabled all Spotify notifications in the notification manager, yet I'm unsure how the sound still persists. I don't want to disable notification sounds in the Plasma Workspace, as mentioned earlier.

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Specs might help:

How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Decency8401@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Warpinator. I use it all the time, set a password, make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi and you are all set.

What about a linux phone that has a full Android OS sleeping in parallel? Like OnePlus Watch 2 that runs 2 OSs at the same time. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I tried Ubuntu Touch for about a week or two (absolutely broken on the OnePlus 5 btw.) I kind of had a VM of Android on it. I used Waydroid for apps I need, like E-Banking. Waydroid was an absolute mess, it constantly crashed and often played Music via Speaker instead of Bluetooth.

Edit: I really liked the way, how to interact with the whole os. The habit to switch apps and show the sidebar stuck with me for at least a month after my little experience.
