I have a botched ubuntu 22 LTS to 24 LTS upgrade on my hands. Fixing it is beyond my skill level. Lesson learnt. Now I'm installing a fresh 24 LTS. Fortunately, I had all the files I needed on other devices (thank God for syncthing).

Should I take this as a hint that ubuntu might fuck me again in the future? In general, ubuntu has been more than fine for my needs. I like fedora alright, it just gets difficult sometimes to do some of my work -- I use R a lot and the support there has been mixed in my experience.

oh gosh, the auth on 4ch ate my first post. Fug.

I have a 'puter I've installed endeavour onto to act as a soft home server, 2nd computer kinda deal (6700k/16GB). It's there so I can install private MMO servers basically and act as a go between my steamdeck and my regular PC with game backups etc hosted on there.
I only have 3x HDDs I can install onto (1x500, 2x250) and when I installed the OS on them, performance was terrible with really bad random read/write. An anon suggested RAID and I got filtered by Intel RST.
So, if I understood correctly I can use software RAID with mdadm and get a performance increase with raid1 (raid0 filtered me admittedly or I'm just a retard). I'm actually a retard.
The soonest I can buy an SSD would be on Friday and it won't arrive until mid next week so I gotta make do with this atm. If things work out well and I get an SSD in the future I'd be migrating the install to that and then using the 3 drives as storage like they were intended.

That image was what I had worked things out to be, pulled the trigger while waiting for 4ch auth.
230GB partitions for BTRFS, with / (or root) on the 500GB drive, that would be mirrored post install with mdadm and a 1GB /efi partition set with the boot flag. I couldn't get calamares to accept /boot too so I ended up with that config.
This is what it looks like now, so I guess the path would be to setup mdadm with raid1 and that'll mirror? If I've fucked up I don't mind starting again but I'll have to do it later tomorrow as I have appointments in the morning.
Once I setup mdadm I'd just continue writing to sda1 or does it go to md0, do I need to change my config with systemd etc? This is where I'm getting filtered atm.

Also I know guides say not to go to archbased if you're a noob but the deck is & I used linux casually in the mid 00's.
Thanks for any help.

If your script or whatever leaves stuff behind on purpose, it could make sense to have some naming.
As in something like

>>102997434
What's a "wireguard profile"? You can use systemd-networkd for configuring it all btw.
>I download wireguard profiles from protonvpn
What does it actually contain? You only really need a key and address:port.
Here's an old systemd file of mine, it was used to connect to my VPS' WireGuard endpoint
# 01-hetzner-wireguard.netdev 
[NetDev]
Name=hetzner
Kind=wireguard
[WireGuard]
PrivateKeyFile=<here goes the file containing your personal private key>
[WireGuardPeer]
Endpoint=address_of_my_VPS:51999
AllowedIPs=10.255.44.0/30
PublicKey=<here goes the public key of your VPN endpoint>

And a .network file to give the thing an IP:
# 01-hetzner-wireguard.network 
[Match]
Name=hetzner
[Network]
Address=10.255.44.2/30


So the VPS was 10.255.44.1 and I was 10.255.44.2 on a /30. It was all point-to-point though.

>>102998583
It has an "on-screen controller" when you mouse over it with some simple options but it mostly expects you to do things through hotkeys. You can even add a command to mpv.conf to make it not even have window decoration.
I've been an avid mpv user for years and I need nothing else, but some other anons just need a GUI for whatever reason.

>>102998645
Don't ask me, ask the anons that want that.
>>
>>102998605
I forgot it even had window decoration. I remember now that I turned that off years ago. You can change the UI around by installing different plugins, though I don't know of a popular one that has "more UI" than the default. I noticed that was a possibility when I installed TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script, because it implements its own on-screen controls. To me they seem generally the same as the default ones, but I don't really care to see a lot of buttons and crap on screen when I'm watching a video.

There are people running Ubuntu on $25,000 servers. There is no meaningful relationship between the choice of distribution and the price of the hardware it's installed on.
>>
>>102997764
I'd highly recommend googling around for upgrading Ubuntu from version X to version Y. From what I've seen, a lot of people going from 22LTS to 24LTS have had serious issues. It typically gets ironed out eventually, but the issues have been ongoing since 24 LTS released. Fresh installs are fine, but upgrades are specifically fucked.
So yeah, it might fuck you again in the future if you just upgrade the version without checking around first. You shouldn't have to, but here we are.

>>102998797
NTA, but do you happen to have a short writeup or summary to recommend of the things people are running into? I need to upgrade my work laptop from 22 to 24 sometime soon.

Years ago I've used Arch, then moved to Gentoo, then to Void. After that I've had a long break from Linux and I'm looking for a distro which IS NOT rolling release, but has the same "vibe" as Void, mainly I want a distro which comes "bare" as in without any desktop environment, just not rolling release. Can you guys recommend anything?

I'm on X220 and need something light and fast, but also reliable. The thing which finally broke me when it comes to Linux was when I needed to install some Qt libraries for GUI development and I haven't upgraded my system (Void) in a long time - long story short it took hours and in the nd my entire system deadlocked itself upgrading and I couldn't install or remove any package (mfw pic rel). RR is really just not suitable for usage unless you care more about ricing than actually doing stuff. I don't mind packages being outdated since if there's an issue I can always just install something locally or build from source.
>>
>>102998651
>Get a SSD.
Yeah, that's going to be a week and a half away at least right now.
This would only be short term if it could improve performance. I've already got it installed on the fastest 2.5" I have.
>makes your boot process magnitudes more complicated if you host your system inside just about anything.
>be it RAID or LVM or encryption
It's only for home use and atm it'd just be simple backups and the MMO server, nothing super serious.
>You sure you on the track here?
No, that's part of what was filtering me during setup. As far as I knew I had to set a /boot flag before setup previously but only needed /efi when installed. Currently the 1GB partition is /efi with boost & esp as flags.
I'm using systemd, sda1 (the 230GB partition) is /, /home, /var/cache & /var/log for mount points.
Running efibootmgr like that shows this, from searching I guess I'd use that to change the entry if I did go RAID? I was on track really until efibootmgr was mentioned but I think I get you?

If I'm right then the process would still be:
>MDADM RAID 1 from 230GB partition SDA1 BTRFS to the other 2 drives SDB1 & SDC1
>wait for it to copy/mirror
Then and this is where my understanding breaks down.
>boot from 1GB partition SDA2 FAT 32 EFI partition
>use md0 or SDA1 from that point on
I'm almost certain I'd need to change something to boot properly there but that's where I'm unsure. If I pulled the trigger too early and need to setup md0 before install then I can do that too, nuking it and restarting is possible and fairly fast with endeavour. I don't have anything at all setup here. It's a clean environment.
Thanks anon, again, SSD won't be an option until middle of next week.

>boot entry called "Hannah Montana Linux" exists and points to \\EFI\boot\Hannah Montana Linux\grub\grubx64.efi with the correct boot arguments
your distro' scripts should do the tricks when you start "grub-install"

I used mouse gestures to type the sudo password every time it pop ups in kde5. It was faster and easy, middle click + move to the right it pasted and enter.

Kde6 removed mouse gestures and typing with shortcuts. So now I have to figure out how to send my password to the clipboard and then make it paste it. Make it an script and then I can set a custom shortcut.

So far I managed to send it to the clipboard via xclip reading a file.txt but then it paste it inside terminal with xclip -o.... Any ideas?

>>102999089
Yeah, I got most of that concept down it seems.
I know the init stuff is in the efi folder/partition under a uid (or letters numbers) part with another EFI folder and loader folder where the config files are.
I know loader has the entries folder, loader.conf (can set the boot time/default entry here) and the .conf file is I think what's used to generate the initramfs which is the kernel?
I've set kernel flags before and had them permanently set on my main desktop when I tried to get back (both to correct a realtek issue and for amd-epp powercfg stuff).

I'm not using grub, only systemd for booting.
Do I NEED to use grub if I wanna use sw raid? Is it something that I can't do with systemd? Is this just being used as an example to demonstrate the purpose of the EFI/boot partition?
To put it into terms as the other post did: it feels as this is off track, downstream at the end of the process and
>If and when your initramfs fails at setting that up, it's another topic.
seems to confirm that.

I'm still just trying to get an idea of what I need to do with mdadm and if things should be writing or pointing to md0 or sda1. I'm unsure of how automated that process is and if I should just be setting that up and then worrying about a config after.
It feels like we're discussing something hypothetical down the line or at the end of the track, and why I'm so unsure is because it's left out the middle part so it appears as though it has been shutdown at the end as something not possible.

To sum up: I know how to create a blank md0 array and did so in the live environment (it's nuked now).
I'm unsure of whether it will copy over/mirror my existing drive, if the process is automated from that point on and if I need to worry about changing stuff for systemd to boot. I am also aware generally of how systemd functions.
It appears as though we're missing that middle section..

How to de-bloat my system?
It's arch with KDE, I've used it for 6 years now.
I've installed so many applications over the years and uninstalled them.
But when I look into the config I see all this extra config just there not to mention all the installation packages cached.
What else is there.
What do I do? track each file and delete it?
or nuke the drive start over and migrate the config back?
>>
>>103000812
You didn't use -Rns to remove config files as well when you pacman -R'd?

No, I run -Rns, but sometimes applications change the way it store configs.
Especially things not installed with pacman.

So I'm dual booting and want to sync some folders like game saves of games that I play on Windows and Linux among other things. What's the best software to sync a bunch of folders between two computers? Must be free and open source.
>>
>>103001284
I know of FreeFileSync or Syncthing. Also for game saves specifically there's Ludosavi.

Do they work with wg-quick?

e.g:
find /etc/wireguard -type f -name "*.conf" | shuf | head -1 | xargs -r -I{} wg-quick up {}

I wonder if pacman can be changed in pacman.conf to not cache in the first place though? Everyone has good Internet these days. If I needed to downgrade a package I can download the old one from the snapshots repo

for me it's foot

Nothing beats Alacritty (fast, GPU accelerated minimal) and Konsole (all the bloat).
>>
>>103002022
If you're using Wayland then you might as well use Foot. Pretty much the fastest terminal I've used.
>>
>>103002012
It doesn't seem like it. Sad. I guess you could make CacheDir a tmpfs.
>>
>>103002034
foot is faster and GPU accelerated terminal is a huge meme, especially in combination with proprietary Nvidia driver + Wayland

>>103002056
It works fine for me on AMD and even shitty iGPUs. It's not slow or sluggish. It will consume a small amount of VRAM though.

say i have a file or set of files on some fixed-size media, and wanted to fill the remaining space with ECC based on that data, like those par2 files back in the day, what options are there?
i only currently know of dvddisaster which can do this, but that's specifically for padding optical discs, which this is not, i'm looking for more general-purpose solution. anyone do something like this and have a go-to program for it?

i just use mktemp and trap to make, track, and remove temporary files used during a script
like this example i made in another thread;
>>102729156
workdir=$(mktemp -d)

makes a temporary directory with a random, non-conflicting name in /tmp (configurable) and puts it's path into "$workdir"
rmworkdir() { rm -rf $workdir; }

defines a function to remove the workdir and its' contents
trap rmworkdir SIGINT SIGTERM

this ensures that if the script dies or is killed, it will still run the rmworkdir function to remove the temporary folder (still need to run the function at the end as well in case the script ends normally)
tracking what files are "yours" based on PID doesn't seem like a bad idea, though there's better ways to do it. while conflicts may not be likely based on what else you give as a name, i feel more comfortable creating temp files that have been tested for conflicts before creation, and are remembered specifically by the script so there's just no chance anything else could be mistaken for one

Probably missing host-side libraries. Run it from the console and see what it says.

I'd +1 for syncthing, I'm not going to give it a massive, glowing endorsement because for all I know there could be better software out there but you said:
>save data
Syncthing has an option to backup files & keep copies too, so you could keep your last 500 synced saves for example in case say steam's compatdata folder nukes your save 20 hours in and even copy those backups to another service with another program.
>Also for game saves specifically there's Ludosavi.
Gonna have a look into this now I got a steam deck, could be a good thing to fit into a workflow.
>Saves that are stored as files and in the Windows registry.
This sounds perfect for something like FF XI that works off of the registry. I've been having problems with getting Ashita to run on SteamOS.

Ive used NixOS for a week and its good. I'm surprised everyone's not using it.
>People keep saying the language is convoluted
I learned it within 5 minutes and the syntax is easy. I'm not sure how anyone could say this is harder than arch or resolving dependency issues in deb based distros. It's much much simpler.
>People keep saying the compatibility with programs and setup for things is hard
I never found anything that didn't work or was hard to do. I setup syncthing it was as easy as this. I never found anything that didn't work.
services.syncthing = {
enable = true;
};

Why did DE's like GNOME & KDE an hero instead of building upon what was great.
