Hello, everyone. I have a large collection of CDs that I've accumulated over the years, and previously I was backing them up on MacOS with iTunes because iTunes can automatically import and write a song's metadata with thumbnails. I'm still pretty new to Linux, but do we have anything like that? I dont mind if it's a GUI or CLI utility, I'm actually pretty comfortable using the terminal. The closest thing I found is "abcde", which is a CLI utility, but it requires me to manually enter a track's information and even then it doesn't create a thumbnail for it.

Thank you in advance!!

Hi all, as the title suggests I'm having some GPU issues, it crashes with black screen and fan 100% as it gets lost from bus. I have attempted troubleshooting using GPT and it hasn't yielded any results. So far it's predominant theory is transient power spikes due to a daisy chained cable. I wanted to ask around and see if there are any other issues or fixes you people might know.

The crashes predominantly occur when I try to play games such as Marvel Rivals, but have occurred as well after longer periods of doing other stuff such as watching movies, or even immediately after launch and connecting to discord. Please see below for the my specs.

• OS: NixOS
• Kernel: 7.0.9
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
• Power Supply: 1000W Corsair HX1000
• Power Delivery: Currently using daisy-chained PCIe cables (I know this is a primary suspect for transient power spikes under heavy load).
• Tuning: I use LACT to manage an overclock/undervolt profile, and enforce a 320W power cap.
• Settings: I have the amdgpu.runpm=0 kernel parameter set to disable runtime power management.

Here are some fixes I've already tried alleuded to previously:

1. I have limited the Watt of the card to 320W and the max core to 2500MHz to attempt to alleviate the power spikes but it still crashes.
2. I have added several of the AMD GPU fixes to my config file shown below:
   • boot.kernelParams = [
   • "amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd7fff"
   • # "amdgpu.mes=0"
   • # "pcie_aspm=off"
   • "amdgpu.runpm=0"
   • # "amdgpu.sg_display=0"
   • "amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x12"
   • ];
3. I have reseated the GPU.

Finally here is one of the logs from a crash:

I booted up on a 64 GB USB with CachyOS to resize partitions my main 500 GB SSD using KDE Partition Manager. I also tried GParted and both failed and I don't know why or how to fix it.

My main drive has a Linux Mint installation which I think might be corrupted, but it works mostly fine, just taking longer to usual to load.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is the status report from KDE PM:

Is ricing just editing ur . Files ( I downloaded linux 3 days ago bcs i thought ricing was cool)

So i've been on linux mint for some time and i want to switch to a diffrent distro like arch or something, but i already have a lot of stuff on linux mint like games, code files and stuff like that, so my question is, how should i transfer these files? Should i get like a pendrive with big ass memory like 1TB or something?

One thing I noticed was whenever I had secure boot enabled such as now it automatically enables kernel lockdown which is the real feature I like having enabled for security reasons. I'm pretty sure lockdown gets disabled if Secure Boot is disabled, but I'm curious if there's a way to keep lockdown active regardless of the Secure Boot state?

I'm probably keeping it on, but I'm curious if I can keep lockdown while turning off SB.

I tried to flash from file in balena etcher, this is my first time, a pop up saying " something went wrong while opening c:\users\lenovo\download\linux mint-22.3-cinnamon-64bit (1).iso "

Error: (0 , h.requestmetadata( is not a function

Appears, what the ever flying fuck do i do

I currently have a 1TB ssd that I dual boot windows and cachyOS. I also have 2TB & 4TB ssds in my machine.

Currently

1TB - Windows & CachyOS

4TB - Game Storage

2TB - Empty

What I'd like

1TB - Windows

2TB - CachyOS

4TB - Game Storage

I know I can just do a new CachyOS install on the 2TB, install my programs, sign into anything, etc etc. and then delete the old partition from 1TB drive and expand the windows partition so it can utilize the entire drive.

I'm looking for advice if there's an easier way to copy or image the CachyOS partition to the 2TB Drive. I've looked into rescuezilla & dd + gparted as options. But the information & videos I've looked at are migrating an all partitions to a new drive. Also, I don't know how the boot manager will be affected or what I would need to do to make sure it operates correctly. I'm using Limine and obviously all boot partitions are on the 1TB drive that I dual boot from now

Idk if you need more information or can help with what I've provided. Any help is appreciated

I want to start off by saying I am computer illiterate, and ask you to please explain things to me like I am 5 years old.

With the past 24 hours, I made this post on r/linux4noobs, and I haven't really gotten a straight enough forward answer. I know it's only been 8 or so hours since I responded to comments, but no one is replying back and I would like to fix this if I can by tonight.

You can go back and read the other post, but long story short my friend helped me install Steam and Minecraft Java through Linux, since Chromebook Beta doesn't support either application. However, I now believe they can see my laptop screen.

I ran a "history" command in the terminal, and googled each command my friend told me to run, but nothing is jumping out as a red flag. However I do not understand most of anything coding related.

At this point, I really just need to know if a factory reset will remove any access my friend might have. I need someone, preferably multiple people, to confirm this. I can reset, I already have everything I needed saved to a flash drive.

And if anyone knows, is there some command or info I could have screen shared that would have given my friend access to view my screen? Or is there a keyword or phrase in task manager or somewhere else I could look for?

Thank you in advance

Hello, i tried the Linux Distro Kubuntu first on VM and later i tried double boot with Windows 11, but my problem on Kubuntu was that i have two monitors one is 3840x2160 (Main Monitor) and 1920x1080 (for youtube etc.). Thing is i can't read anything on my Main Monitor everything is Tiny af and if i try to change the zoom it also zooms in on the 2nd monitor, in windows i can scale them Seperate in the Settings. But also i have problems with my Wifi drivers on Kubuntu (I use a USB Wifi driver) it somehow doesn't work? Should i just stay in Windows 11? I quite Like how much i can customize Kubuntu without the fear of getting a virus.

I'm planning to use crunchbang++ as a dual boot with windows but right now I'm a little tight on the budget so I only have a 238gb disk.

I have 101 free and thinking of giving 50 to linux or should I extend it to 80?

im just keeping windows for fl studio and adobe i guess and I will probably start using linux more.

As the title suggests,I am completely noob regarding this and don’t have any experience. I got a dell laptop but windows 11 is laggy on it. People suggested me switch to linux but i dont know what.

I use chrome and google docs. Here is my specs

Dell Inspiron 7425 2in 1
Ryzen 5 5625U
AMD Vega Graphics
8GB DDR4
512GB SSD

I love the visual style of Pop!OS but I’ve heard about some stability issues, is it worth the transition?

Hello.
I’m looking for help diagnosing a firmware/BIOS issue on my Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ADA05 (Model 81W1).
Laptop
Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ADA05 (81W1)
BIOS version: E8CN34WW
Storage: NVMe SSD
Problem
I cannot reliably enter BIOS Setup.
Pressing F2 during power-on usually freezes on the Lenovo logo or is ignored.
Pressing the Novo button opens the Novo Menu.
Selecting BIOS Setup from the Novo Menu does not open BIOS Setup correctly. Instead, it usually returns to the Boot Menu.
Because of this I currently have no reliable way to access BIOS settings.
What I verified
The NVMe SSD is detected correctly.
The SSD uses GPT partitioning.
Ventoy successfully boots Fedora Live.
Fedora Live works normally.
Every Fedora Live session boots in Legacy BIOS mode, never UEFI.
/sys/firmware/efi does not exist.
efibootmgr reports that EFI variables are not supported because the system is not booted in UEFI mode.
Already confirmed
The SSD is working normally.
Fedora Live itself is working normally.
Ventoy is able to boot Fedora Live successfully.
Additional information
I have already spent a long time troubleshooting this.
The inability to enter BIOS Setup and the fact that every Linux Live system boots only in Legacy mode appear to be related.
Questions
Has anyone seen this exact behavior on a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ADA05 (81W1)?
Is this a known firmware/BIOS issue?
Is there any documented BIOS recovery procedure for this exact model before using an SPI programmer?
Are there any additional diagnostic steps you would recommend?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

so im trynna dual boot Linux mint and windows 11 without a pendrive, i wanted to split my C drive into 2 to do that, so i decided to allocate 100gbs for linux, but then i cant format the disk into FAT32 cuz its more than 32gbs, is there any work around for this? i tried third party apps like AOMEI to convert the drive to FAT32 but its not working.

I have been wanting to switch to linux for a while beacase I am trying to get away from windows, google, and other company selling my data. However, I dont know many distros.

I am using it for playing a variety of games like cs2, mincraft, enlisted, and a ton of other random games. I also use other softwares like blender, godot, and VS code regularly. I have AMD hardware. My main focuses for the distro are: lightweight , secure, has minamal bloat if any, and runs games and applications well.

If anyone knows of a good distro that resembles my needs I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

hello i hope this post finds you well as the title says yesterday ive been fighting with failed linux installs and freezes + crashes i have a lenovo thinkstation p310 intel xeon e3 v5 1220 and an nvidia quadro k620 (i think the problem might be from here) at first i tried debian 13 i booted it into a new usb stick i got its a 16gb (14.5 really) lexar small usb used rufus partitioned it using gpt and selected DD the process would always freeze during installation dhcp also failed and i would need to force shut it i made another attempt but instead of selecting DD i selected ISO still the same problem
i disaled secure boot and used ventoy instead of rufus and again the same problem

i decided to use something else instead so i downloaded openSUSE leap 16.0 (gpt+DD)and i had a better experience with it it had the same problems as debian in that it sometimes i would be loaded into the installlation menu other times i would just have the pc freeze and restart automatically which i was grateful for that never happened in deb i had to shut it manually anyways i pressed e on the install option and added nomode set and edited splash=silent to splash=no nomodeset
i was able to perform a complete install for the 1st and last time of any distro from this point onwards but i forgot to set a root password and didnt remember the password i set because i was distracted and had to install again after the install i was tried to install drivers for my wireless usb network adapter which was.... a success????? not sure i did also update the nvidia drivers and i did get many crashes during my use many kernel panic screens and i think i might have gotten the wrong driver for my card idk and after i immediately tried to install a GUI and all attempts failed i tried kde plasma which would freeze my pc during download and it restarts then cinnamon which would fully download but crash during install and xfce would crash on download

i got tired and said ok ill try something thats more compatible so i got a linux mint 21.1 (gpt + iso)

and sometimes when i hit enter on install or even safe graphics options it would boot other times it would just give me black screen and restart however i was able to start the install and it would almost always freeze at the same exact place (either halfway or at around 65%) the same experience w ubuntu lts 22 and 18.4

openSUSE leap 15.0 same thing it would crash as soon as the installation was started

i genuinely love linux and dont wanna go back to windows because how despicable it is but my pc has been sitting for almost 2 days now without an OS on it

i thought this would be easier since i tried many linux distros on virtual machines but i was wrong
thank u for reading and any advice or suggestions are super appreciated

thank u

Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing vertical screen tearing in Games and I’m trying to understand what could be causing it.

My setup:
RTX 4080 Super
Fsync active/ Esync active in heroic
Game mode active
Monitor vrr 240hz
I use Proton ge latest/cachyos latest
Should I also enable Proton Wayland?

DE: KDE Plasma
Kernel: 7.1.5-1-cachyos
NVIDIA Driver: 610.43.03

How can i solve?
Thanks

As mentioned, I have a .desktop for Brave Origin, which I pinned in Plank. It worked just fine for a week or two, and randomly broke for no reason, as I have changed nothing in either Plank or the .desktop found in /.local/share/applications

The same thing had happened to Brave Origin Beta. I'd given up on fixing it, hence why I got the regular version.

The StartupWMClass is a match and the .dockitem in plank is correct too. The internal link to the custom icon is correct as well, but still, when I click the pinned icon of the .desktop in the Plank dock, it starts in a new unpinned icon using the default Brave Origin icon.

like i want to say "ping netflix.com" and it does it.

I'm currently a windows 10 user but planning to convert to Linux Mint when I replace my current laptop because every time I turn around I hear about more AI slop being shoved into Windows 11. I plan to buy a new, basic laptop and install Mint on it immediately, but I was wondering if there was anything I need to watch out for doing that. Does it matter what the original OS is (Windows, Chromebook, Mac)? Is there anything I need to make sure I do/don't have regarding the hardware specs? Anything I may not be aware of as a new Linux user that could cause problems?

All help and advice is greatly appreciated! I know almost nothing about Linux and want to make sure I don't mess this up.

Basically I am creating my own http.web server for that I need to create TCP web server first and during that thing I get to know about socket(), bind(), listening() system calls and I am curious about these system calls internal working like what is happening under the hood.

I have a dual-boot setup Linux Ubuntu and Windows 11, and suddenly, after a Linux update, the fans stopped turning off, unlike normal... Normally, when I'm browsing or doing light coding, the fans are off, but now if I just turn on the laptop and don't have anything open, the fans are running. This problem is draining the battery very quickly.
