I'm in a really weird situation, yesterday I installed Linux (Fedora Kinoite) on my mothers laptop (An old Asus F550C) and it worked perfectly fine. Great! Or so I thought.

We needed a few files from Windows 10, so I put that drive in, put the files on a USB stick, put the Linux drive back in and... Nothing? It recognizes the drive, but not the Linux boot option. I put the drive in my pc and it works fine, the boot drive is also still detected in the laptop just fine.

What the hell could it be??

  • The laptop is fine (Windows drive works perfectly)
  • The drive is recognized in bios (But not the boot option)
  • The drive works fine in my desktop and can boot to Fedora
  • The laptop can boot to the USB drive I used to create the install
  • Yesterday it worked just fine
  • I went through the bios, but can't find any settings related to this (Secure boot did not fix it)

Update: the issue is solved! Windows somehow wiped the efiboot entry.

I mounted the drive from a live usb and ran

sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'

After rebooting, the system works again!

You know you're just drinking spicy water when eating soup, right?

This was not a comment I expected to read on this post

How is that allowed?

Well it's not, you aren't supposed to be able to get a patent for something that already exists. But you know, corruption

I’m fairly certain she was asleep at the time.

Fairly certain? You didn't check?

For reference, earths escape velocity at the surface is about 11 km/s. I'm not sure how quickly the cap would slow down, but if it hadn't been vaporised it surely would be orbiting the sun right now.

Also, the escape velocity from the Sun at Earths distance would be 16.6 km/s on top of earths speed, so depending on the direction it could've escaped the suns orbit as well.

But it was most likely vaporised

I just got a new phone (Sony Xperia 1 VI) and I'd like to replace the standard google apps with some open source alternatives. I already tried a bunch in the past, but not all of them feel quite right compared to the google apps. Lineage OS 21 has a few apps I'd like to try, especially the dialer and keyboard app. Do any of you know where I can get download them to install on any android phone?

Thanks!

Yeah I can drive for 30 hours and still be in my hometown, in fact, I can spend my entire life there. Crazy

Plenty of people will fall for that, my mother rarely uses her laptop, so I installed Firefox for her. She got a notification telling her to switch to Edge, so she did. At least she told me so I could switch it back

But imagine how much more money they can make with that money!

Western Europe will get pretty fucked without it, We're much further north than people realise. The Netherlands is further north than Calgary, Canada

Yeah it should really only give me 2, maybe 3 options. Distrochooser is supposed to be the one choosing, not the user
