Thanks for linking me to the to this page. I did some more diging and I managed to figure out the actual problem. I was using a program called CompactGUI2 which allows you to use the NTFS file comprssion to save space. The minute I uncompressed the files from the Windows side I saw the Lock icons go away when I booted back into Linux.

I mounted it using fstab

I just download the appimage version of duckstation on the Linux side to see if it could run the game but it was unable to find my games in the ROMs Directory. Then I tried going to System > Start File and When I tried to launch the game that way I got this error.

What is even more weird is that I was able to launch the copy on my ext4 partition despite the fact the the BIOS I selected is in the ntfs partition.

Edit: I just tried opening the BIN and CUE files from the ntfs partition and got on error saying that the file does not exist despite the file being visible from the file manager. I also noticed that the one on the ntfs partition had some lock icons while the ext4 one did not. I also saw a windows directory in the cue file on the windows C: drive which I found very weird because I usually store all my games on the D: drive of my system. The copy on my ext4 also how this Windows Directory.

I just installed the program but it says that it cannot find any devices.

Do you mean like a different file manager? I just tried using Thunar instead of Nautilis and got the same error.

Ok I was copying a bunch of games from one of my Windows drives over to my phone while booted into Linux. And I got this error that says "libmtp error: Could not open source file". Thankfully I was able to copy the files when I was booted into Windows but it would be nice if I could Transfer files from my Windows drives without having to reboot into Windows. Is there a way I can fix this problem.

I think it might have to do with the ntfs file system because I copied one of the files from the phone back to my Desktop which is ext4 and then back to the phone without any issues. I already tried installing ntfs-3g which was already installed on my distro.

Long story short I was messing around in the terminal and messed up my Linux Mint Installation and now when I boot into Linux I only get a CLI and don't even see the Linux mint logo. I tried to restore to a previous state using Timeshift but it did not work so I ended up taking a live usb and backing up all my important documents to an external drive. I want to just do a fresh installation but unfortunally for me the boot drive is also the same drive I use to boot into Windows (which I am still able to boot into from GRUB). Is there a way I can reinstall the OS without affecting my ability to boot into Windows?

Ok so I was trying to clone 512gb nvme ssd to my new 2tb drive with clonezilla and it keeps taking me to automatic repair. I unplugged the original drive and replaced it with the new one before booting. I ran a chkdsk both times before cloning.

The first time I cloned the drive i used these settings:

device to device beginer disk to local disk Chose my source and target Skip disk checking -k0 use source partition table

Then I tried these settings:

device to device expert disk to local disk Chose my source and target Left everything as default -k1 Create partition table proportionally

I also plan on partitioning half of the drive so that I can dual boot linux as Window 10 is reaching eol and I don't want anything to do with Windows 11 and I still need Windows for gaming.

Here is an Odysee Link for those that don't want to give youtube support.

You know there is a fork on Android called Aliucord. It allows you to install pluggins like better discord.

I don't blame you man. That guy is a fucking joke.

Did you not see the link in the body

That would be pretty weird if if I did that. But in case anyone is curious, It was a few minutes after I had just gotten home from college and went inside the house and then went over to my dad to say hi before going to my room. He immediately asked me why I had my backpack on and I told him that I had just gotten back from college. It was at that moment he told me that wearing a backpack while talking to someone was weird. My Mom later walked in and asked what we were yelling about and she then started laughing because of how stupid the conversation was. I was standing the entire time we were arguing.

They are not abusive they are just stupid. Or at least my dad is.
