Windows partition does get automounted. But, it's because I wanted it to.

But, even before windows and another ntfs drives are automounted, there was no icons.

It's (icons showing) only after the update.

Also, I have no reason to suspect of any malware. Why do suspect that though?

I simply thought I might be some changes in dolphin or arch or plasma or Wayland.

Thank you for the script though. Looking for something like this for a long time.

Yeah

Except for some .dlls, I'm seeing icons on linux and not on windows.

What's strange is, I didn't even installed anything new. Just updated existing.

[–] gpstarman 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Don't have icoutils installed.

But now that I checked there is a option on Dolphin. I don't know if this is a new feature or something.

Also, I found this on reddit, which is 4 years old. So, I don't know.

EXE icons out of nowhere (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by gpstarman to c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world
 

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 ?

Thank You.

showtools in main and theme config are both commented out.

Even if my theme config's showtools is not commented, rEFInd shouldn't show firmware and about. Since, they are not included in the showtools anyway.

And You are correct, I need it more like second picture.

Some, other person told me that, this is 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.

Thank you. Looks like that's the problem.

[–] gpstarman 1 points 1 month ago

No.

There is another one on the my custom theme's theme.conf. But, made it a comment it as well.

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.

Yeah. Not like this 👇

someone from reddit 👇

My big problem with discover is that it is a vertical layout for something usually horizontally oriented across platforms.

There are no banners or large graphics on the home page. Nothing that makes you feel like you're in an overarching meta view of the app and all the apps available to you. Instead the front page is just icons and names, same deal with all the categories. It's just not easy to use to actually find apps, I guess? It feels too much like a package manager or catalogue metaphor and not enough like being in a marketplace?

I guess it's just not easy for some people to understand that not every people like CLI or TUI. 😮‍💨

Thanks for the info. What about KDE addons section though?

for find and install new apps

using the Arch repo websites to help look for packages when I need to.

I mostly use GUI package managers to discover the existence of new apps.

I would say you should backup, timeshift, and try it. You can always do a reinstall if you break something.

Thankfully I use BTRFS.

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.

Did they changed the logo? (self.cyberpunk2077)

Did they change the Cyberpunk logo in new versions?

Just started my blind playthrough (no spoilers please) and noticed the cyberpunk logo is different from what I saw before.

Old Cyberpunk 2077 (not 2.0) 👇

New Cyberpunk 2077 (after 2.1) 👇

At first I thought there is something wrong with my GPU driver ot something.

How to Encrypt Drives ? (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by gpstarman to c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world
 

This is my disk layout:

500 GB Linux - BTRFS

100 GB Windows - NTFS

400 GB Storage - NTFS (shared between linux and windows)

I want to encrypt everything. For Linux I can use luks2 but what I'm supposed to do for Windows ? (No bitlocker please)

Will veracrypt replace refind boot manager?

Note: I am talking about the one that asks password before boot (full encryption)
