Mangohud not showing GPU stats after update in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev

[–] gpstarman 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can you tell me how to do it ?

Because I don't think I am seeing my dedicated GPU in Goverlay. Only seeing integrated card.

EXE icons out of nowhere in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev

[–] gpstarman 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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.

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.

[SOLVED] Unable to hide 'tools' in rEFInd in c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world

[–] gpstarman 2 points 5 months ago

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.

https://lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz/comment/16257252

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.

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)

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)

[SOLVED] What I can delete on my EFI partition? (self.linux4noobs)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by gpstarman to c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world

I installed lots of OSs on my PC. The mistake I did was not backing up my EFI partition beforehand.

Now I deleted all the OS except CachyOS (Arch) and Windows.

Now I want to tidy up my EFI partition. I want to delete everything (even rEFInd) except Windows and Default ones like OEM. (I am gonna reinstall CachyOS ) Can anybody please assist me?

I already deleted the obvious ones like ubuntu and fedora. Anything else?

I know this is not necessarily a linux question but anyways 😅

Solved

Before proceeding with any of the following, I STRONGLY suggest you to make a full backup of your ESP (efi) partition.

I deleted everything on boot folder, since I didn't need grub or any of those files ( after searching everything individually on internet)

I deleted refind folder, since I didn't need refind boot manager.

I kept insyde folder, since they are my uefi provider.

I kept OEM , microsoft folders because I need windows and whatever my OEM provides.

I kept tools folder since that's just an empty folder ( I didn't know which OS created it)

I installed CachyOS with BTRFS, LUKS2 , REFIND.

After successful installation I'm not seeing any prompt for password nor the linux boot entry on refind.

Note: I didn't do any lvm or raid.

What should I do?

Solved

I just forgot to create a boot partition 😮‍💨

[SOLVED] Can I delete BTRFS snapshots from middle? (self.archlinux)

Let's say i made 10 snapshots on top of the base.

Now can i delete snap no. 5? Will the snaps after 5 will be affected?

Solved

Yes, one can delete consecutive snapshots. The data won't be deleted unless all snaps ( reference points ) get deleted.

Note: If you delete the original file and delete all the snapshots made when the file is still there, the file will get deleted permanently.
