I guess he's finally lost it completely.

Windows just fucked up my bootloader... in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

I always had trouble with running dual boot, mostly because I don't really have a clue about all this stuff. So the consequence was to ditch Windows. Never going back.

Ah well. I guess a reinstall every couple of years or so isn't such a bad thing.

I switched my Mint install to Pipewire already. Just hope that won't mess up the upgrade.

There's Easyeffects. I don't know if it is equivalent but it certainly has more features than I could ever hope to be able to use.

You can pray all you want. They will alter the deal. Enshittification never stops.

Where would one find custom Pipewire profiles for specific speakers and would those work for an unwashed Mint peasant like me? I have external speakers for my PC but the sound has room for improvement. I tried tweaking with Easyeffects but that is not really that easy if you have no idea about sound engineering.

Cool. I'll try that tonight.

Thanks. I've had some problems with TigerVNC. Do you know any good guide on setting it up?

Headless VNC on Mint (feddit.de)
 

I installed x11vnc on Mint and it works fine as long as I have a monitor plugged into the server. I want to run the server without a monitor though. That apparently doesn't work with Cinnamon. I already bought a dummy plug to simulate a monitor but that seems clunky. Is there a better way? I'm also open to using a different VNC server or even a different distro (as long as it's not Ubuntu or Arch).

Dell 5070 won't boot into Linux Mint (feddit.de)

Update: it worked without any issues after i tried a different USB stick with a different ISO. Which is weird, because I had installed LMDE on several machines with exactly this stick. I guess the ways of our Lord and Saviour are mysterious.

I swapped out the SATA drive on the Dell 5070. There is no NVME drive. Before I had a 256 GB drive. I put in a 1 TB drive and installed Mint on it. The previous drive also had Mint. But I must have somehow messed up the BIOS settings because now the blasted thing won't boot.

The drive shows up on the System Info page of the BIOS:

It also shows up in the Drives page:

But I can't choose it as a boot option:

Clicking on Add Boot Option only brings an error that it can't find any file system. I tried restoring the settings but that didn't help. What can I do?

Synology DS215j NAS - time for an upgrade? (feddit.de)
 

I've had this box for almost ten years now, so I've been thinking about getting something new. Looking at the market, the new systems don't seem to be all that much more advanced, though. So my question is, should I get a new one or just keep the old box and swap out the drives? What can a new NAS do that my old one can't? And what kind of drives should I get? I have 2 TB WD Red something, is that still a good choice? I'd move up to 4 TB, of course. This box is only used as backup for my home stuff and a small business, I'm primarily concerned with reliability.

/etc/fstab entry for Synology NAS (feddit.de)

I'm trying to mount my Synology NAS on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspian. I works when I do it the following command:

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.178.**:/volume1/my_data / /home/pi/mount/NAS

but it doesn't work with this entry in /etc/fstab:

192.186.178.**:/volume1/my_data /home/pi/mount/NAS nfs defaults 0 0

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: pro tip: make sure you get the IP addresses right so you won't spend days chasing after a trivial error like some idiot. Don't ask me how I know. Thanks to @Arlos for pointing that out.
