Comment on How to install VNC server on Linux Mint for remote access by Phil

In reply to Nemkrad. Thanks, removing the & in the xstartup file fixed it for me. I did have to run it the first time using sudo to configure it, that took a bit of time. All in all several hours for what I thought would be just a couple of minutes. Now I see it starts a separate session, which in some cases would be fine but I would like to jump into the same xterm session so I guess I need to look at tigervnc-scraping-server now.

Comment on How to install and use TimeShift on Fedora by Torsten Funk

Torsten Funk — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 20:11:54 +0000

I have installed and configured TimeShift on Fedora, which uses BTRFs, but in a mode not supported by TimeShift, i.e. not having @ and @/home subpartitions. Therefore I chose RSYNC as method, which should work on any filesystem. And TimeShift did do the snapshots as configured. They are available on an external drive with all the folders available. Now has come the time to do a restore because a system update has crashed my WIFI. But when I select a snapshot and click on restore TimeShift pops up a window saying that a restore cannot be done to BTRFS without any further options. Why should RSYNC not be able to restore to a BTRFS system? Any hint?

Using the first method. This command gives an error:
sudo systemctl start nagios
Failed to restart nagios.service: Unit nagios.service not found.

But if:
sudo systemctl start nagios4
OK
and then everywhere instead of nagios -> nagios4

Comment on Exploring hibernation challenges in the Linux environment by Jessica

Jessica — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 12:42:11 +0000

This is something that bothers me a lot when I use linux because of all those configurations I have done are all complicated and risky as well. All are just to enable hibernation. Especially when they are down to the boot level. And I had to be ready to deal with messing the whole linux altogether. The feeling was nowhere pleasant to begin with and it’s something that I found to be especially useful and important. Thank you for the explanation it was what I needed.
