Hi all! On Win10 I used PhonerLite to connect to fritzbox SIP services. I'm looking for a sip/softphone client that lets me at minimum make and receive calls. I did some research and found the following packages in the arch repo/aur:

• linphone-desktop - marked as outdated(?), appimage version has bug reports and needs tinkering
• viber - doesn't mention SIP?
• jitsi - last package update 5 years ago?
• zoiper-bin - proprietary and not transparent on difference between free/pro
• twinkle-git - git repo down

None of them seem to be a good choice. Has anyone other recommendations but to try and run PhonerLite in wine?

Edit: Formatting

Edit2: I went with zoiper-bin in the end, and it works for calling. On every startup it has an ad for the pro version though. For anyone else who needs to open up the ports to receive calls, these are the ones you need for it to work with a fritzbox:

• 5060-5061 udp
• 30000-65535 udp and tcp

What Kernel are you guys using?

I have seen some people claiming that custom kernels like zen cachyos offer better battery life and performance.

Is it true ?

Hi,

I'm considering transitioning completely to Linux for my main workstation. However, due to the nature of my work I rely extensively on a few Autodesk products (namely AutoCAD, Revit) as well as Ms OneDrive to coordinate with clients. I did some research and these applications are not available natively and can't run through Wine. So I was thinking setting up a virtual machine with a windows image in order to run these two programs. They don't need extensive GPU. I was wondering if there are any obstacles / issues I should be aware if I chose to go this route? Thanks!

I've set up an old laptop with Linux mint some months ago, and while the laptop's speed is fine when there are no disk write, even a very small write can cause other applications to hang until it is done, and i can also tell because i have an IO led so whenever it is on i know that i can't really interact with stuff whenever it's on.

SMART status doesn't seem to report anything, (tested some weeks ago, but issue was always present), but i'm willing to test again and show screenshots.

I'll show some maybe relevant information, note that my Linux fs is mounted on sda7.

some forums online suggested looking at /etc/fstab:

If there is anything else that is relevant, I'd like to know, and thanks for any help.

I've tried various versions of these:

FILENAME has spaces

touch -d "$(stat 'FILENAME' | grep -oP 'Birth:\s+\K\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}' | sed 's/^/"/;s/$/"/')" $(echo 'FILENAME' | sed 's/^/"/;s/$/"/')

FILENAME has no spaces

touch -d "$(stat 'FILENAME' | grep -oP 'Birth:\s+\K\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}' | sed 's/\-//g;s/://g;s/ //')" "FILENAME"

the former returns error about wrong time format.

the latter ended up setting the mtime date to May 10 2446 (at least the millennium is right....) i can't even figure out how the numbers would rearrange/misread to get that from desired Jan 6 2025. So i assume it was read as some kind of offset from 1970 but I don't know enough to use that info to my advantage.

when i echo the commands, the formatting and syntax seems to match examples in the web. so I'm lost.

and I can't seem to find specific docs about touch vis-à-vis what time format is accepted and details of syntax.

btw I'm ND, and can't mentally process manpages docs, at least not dynamically enough to use the info in original or niche situations without also having stackoverflow or other q&a pages with directly relevant examples. ND/OCD is also why i need to sort files by mtime specifically. "just sort it by ctime" is not an option.

anyone who replies, thank you very much.

What I want:

To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager.

Additional Info:

1. So, apparently, to restore the BTRFS snapshot of a root subvolume, I shouldn't do it with the root partition being actively used.

2. So, I need to boot into the desired snapshot from the boot manager itself.

3. GRUB has grub-btrfs, which lets you boot into snapshot from OS selection screen itself.

4. rEFInd has refind-btrfs, which should do the same as grub-btrfs. But it didn't in my case. I am not seeing any way to boot into a snapshot from rEFInd.

5. I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper to manage snapshots.

6. I am not seeing any way to restore the snapshot from live environment too.

7. I am using CachyOS (Arch) with Plasma DE.

8. I suspect the reason is my unusual /efi /boot partition layout. (attached below)

9. I did my partition this way because, my initial EFI partition had less storage (as seen on image), so , I created another boot partition and mounted my pre-existing EFI partition to /boot/efi. I did this by referring a Youtube video (I know, I should've known better)

10. I also encrypted my BTRFS / partition

11. If you need any other info, please ask.

I am about to try switching to Linux, and will start with a dual boot so I can still use Windows if necessary. I'm planning to buy a new M2 SSD for Linux.

But, I currently have 4 hard drives which are all formatted as NTFS for Windows. What considerations do I need to make regarding these existing drives, or for moving files between systems?

For instance, I assume Windows simply won't be able to see any of the files on my Linux drive. What about the other way around? Are there any downsides to accessing my files on NTFS drives through Linux? Am I able to move files around between my drives?

Do I need to convert any of my NTFS drives to a different format? (Or is that even possible without wiping the data?)

I'm using CachyOS (Arch) with BTRFS. And tried to restore snap of root subvolume and it didn't work ( see previous post ).

If I remember correctly, i successfully restored root subvolume before. Take it with a grain of salt.

Some people on my previos posts said that I shouldn't have tried restore root subvol while system is actively running through the subvol.

Now my question is,

How to restore a snap of root subvolume ?

Edit: I know how to restore a snapshot. Just need help with root subvol snapshot.

I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper. And rEFInd doens't have boot to snapshot option. (I installed and it didn't work )

caveat; i've used linux in the best from debian to fedora to ubuntu to redhat on servers but this is the first time i want to actually switch to using it on my laptop because win11 is increasingly bad but also because i love it.

i'm just lost as to where to start. i'm currently looking at laptopwithlinux.com, system76.com, and thinkbooks. a lot of them come with specific distros, though i'm much more partial to debian than ubuntu. is it generally able to switch between a different one without too much hassle?

i also have an hp envy; https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/5818425?baseline=5818425 is it wise to get rid of windows and just install linux on it?

i know some hardware but i'm not an EXPERT (with drivers and such)

any thoughts? hopefully this is an alright community for this question; it was the closest community when searching that i could find that seemed like it fit.

Context: I updated my CachyOS (Arch) BTRFS system. Some new things caused few problems especially brave browser(missing tabs), some icons missing.

So I wanted to go back to previous snapshot.

What I did: I first restored my home subvol which I saved before update. I worked.

Then I tried to restored my root partition. This is where I got the problem.

I got this error.

I would really appreciate URGENT help

If you need any more details I can provide.

EDIT

1. I used BTRFS Assistant to restore the root partition. And I did it while the OS is running.

( I previously did that and got no issues )

Trying to install LMDE on a laptop (Windows 10).
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

1. Are desktop environments changeable once the OS is installed? Can I switch between Cinnamon and KDE Plasma, for example? Or should I decide on one before I settle for a distro?
2. Coming from Windows, I'm used to my hard drives just being "there", no matter what program I'm using. I need to explicitly set permission levels in order to restrict access, but by default I can access anything anytime. The last time I tried Linux, I couldn't get the program I was using to "see" my hard drives in order to open a file, despite the drives being accessible in the OS file manager. How does this stuff differ between Windows and Linux? What basics should I know about hard drives, e.g. what the hell is "mounting"?
3. What are the crucial differences between the different package managers (e.g. Flathub, Snap, etc.) and why should I choose one over another? And like with the desktop environment question, can I switch app stores at will, or do I need to commit to one before I begin? I've read a lot of very angry and passionate comments in passing related to the various package managers, but none of it was accessible/comprehensible to a n00b like me.
4. Can you recommend a resource - be it a CoolGuide image, video series, a PDF, a website, whatever - that will explain in simple terms the Linux way of doing Windows stuff? (Like with my hard drives question, for example.) "If on Windows you do X, on Linux you'll have to do Y" kinda thing, but for everything, no matter how basic.

Thanks for reading 👍

Title. This error/crash happens with certain web pages only whilst everything else works as intended. Any ideas of what is going on? Running on sway, on a Orange pi 5 max with 16 GiB of ram. Dietpi. Thanks in advance. And yes, Firefox runs just fine without any crashes whatsoever.

I'm having trouble figuring out how I can uncompress these parts into one file. I've tried "zip *.zip > file.zip" with no success.

Will my OS break if I make it the system Read Only? I am installing a raspberry pi 4 (Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)) in my car and read on Lemmy that if I make the system files Read Only my system won't get corrupt when power is abruptly turned off. I will leave the 'home' directory read-write. I realize I will have to remove the drive and run updates regularly.

Title. I've tried using dd but it doesn't work -- the .img file is written but it does not boot. Thanks in advance.

I haven't updated my Arch (Plasma) for some time.

When I updated it yesterday, suddenly all the exe icons started to show up ( I'm dualbooting with Win ), which is not the case before.

As far I looked up, I can't find anything on internet.

I don't know if it's whether WINE or Dolphin or some other package.

So, what's changed ?

I want to hide the about tag in rEFInd. So, I did according to the info in config and website, which is to add a showtools line with no options.

And, nothing happens. I still see About, Shutdown, Reboot, Firmware tools in the rEFInd screen

# Default is shell,memtest,gdisk,apple_recovery,windows_recovery,mok_tool,about,hidden_tags,shutdown,reboot,firmware,fwupdate
# To completely disable scanning for all tools, provide a showtools line
# with no options.
#
#showtools shell, bootorder, gdisk, memtest, mok_tool, apple_recovery, windows_recovery, about, hidden_tags, reboot, exit, firmware, fwupdate
showtools

Eventhough the previous showtools line is a just a comment, I removed it too. And still nothing happens.

Does anybody have any idea?

I only want Shutdown, Reboot.

SOLVED

It seems like a rEFInd problem in latest version.

Looks like I have to edit and rebuild it myself. Unfortunately, I'm not really that familiar with building packages myself.

Guess, I have to wait it out.

I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn't use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Also if I am not supposed to use Discover, can anybody suggest an actual GUI application store? Unlike Octopi (which I consider just as a TUI with check boxes and columns)

Edit: I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

For updating, I just use paru.

I'm trying to get a Garmin Ant+ USB dongle working within Fedora Kinoite to work with Golden Cheetah and my cycle trainer.

The Golden Cheetah wiki only has instructions for getting this to work within Ubuntu which I got working on Mint previously. I'm trying to convert over to Kinoite and this is critical.

The wiki says to create a new udev rule. Following the instructions it says to place it in /etc/udev/rules.d which also exists in Kinoite, the problem being it's a read only folder and sudo still doesn't allow me to place a file. How do I override the atomic structure to create a file there? I believe it requires using the rpm-ostree command but I'm unfamiliar.

I've got an image noise reduction app that I simply can't get working under linux, and that I can't find an equivalent tool for under linux.

I've tried VMs and wine and none of them work. My web searches haven't encountered anyone that can make it work either.

So, I'm at the point where I may need to boot in to windows to do my noise reduction. However, I would really love to be able to access my existing linux install via a VM or the like when I do so, so that I can access my daily driver software (which is all linux) whilst I'm in windows.

Is such a thing possible?

Problem: new kernels not showing up in boot menu

I can install new kernels, and I see them in /boot/efi/{PARITION_UUID}, but they don't show up in the systemd-boot menu.

Data

Normally, Fedora shows the 3 latest kernels (plus a recovery kernel) in the boot menu. I only see up to 6.11.6 in the systemd-boot menu. On the /boot partition, I see much newer kernel versions (both labeled fc40 and fc41)

Systemd-boot

I started with other distros on this disk before I settled on Fedora. Since I was happy with systemd-boot and its automatic discovery of boot entries, I chose to use systemd-boot when I installed Fedora. I know that Grub is the default bootloader and manager for Fedora, but I have systemd-boot. It's an option in the installer.

Major OS upgrades and rolling back the rollback

Last weekend I upgraded from Fedora 40 KDE Spin to Fedora 41. On the next Monday morning, screensharing in Edge Browser had stopped working, so I rolled back to a Fedora 40 snapshot with BTRFS Assistant. This turned out to be an issue in the latest Edge version, not in the underlying OS, so I rolled back the rollback and went to the Monday evening snapshot, then upgraded my packages.

Ever since, I'm not seeing new Kernels in the systemd-boot menu. Any idea how I can fix this, short of a fresh install of Fedora 41 KDE?
