I remember some video where somebody was showing an example of either a word or a sentence & showed: "mbrtskvni"

this language would make you think they have to pay a fee for using vowels

 

My parents are fed up with windows 11 slowing down their old HP desktop to near unusable levels. It is so bad that the right click menu can take up to 6 seconds to load. Anyway I created a free 900GB ext4 partition that I want to install to but how do I get the fedora KDE installer to detect that free space (sda6)?

I have been inside lots of trees, but I can't think of anyone I know who has actually bothered to build or buy a treehouse

Same, jam/jelly & peanut butter have two wildly different tastes & textures. I have no idea what lunatic decided to put the two spreads together but PB&J sandwhiches sound about as appetising as cranberry haddock

What is K-12? I'm assuming Kindergarten to 12 as in grade 12? That's the US system right? You say you've never been to school in these grades. Are you saying that you didn't do them because your country doesn't use this system or have you just not done the equivalent of those grades at all?

I'm sure these are just things from the US. The only reason I know what a prom is is because of TV. Before that I only ever heard 'prom' as an abbreviation for promenade

I honestly don't understand why people smoke this stuff. cigarretes & vapes smell horrible, there's not even that many things to compare it to but its like car exhaust but worse. & I just can't get why people smoke things like marijuana. Exactly what's the point? Doesn't it basically turn you into a zombie temprorarily or something like that?

Same here, it would be impossible since middle schools don't exist where I'm from

okay, exactly how should I flash that boot image to the phone? do I put it in download mode? & will this erase all the data?

 

I have an older Samsung Galaxy A3 with an already unlocked bootloader (it comes pre-unlocked) that I want to clean & root. I have a few apps like firefox, some games, DraStic, notesnook, etc. as well as my music. I want to keep all of this of course bug remove all the other bloat i dont need. I dont want a custom ROM or anything. The samsung ROM is good enough (android 6.0.1) I am very unaure on the process though & I dont want my old phone to get bricked so I'd appreciage it if somebody helped me out here, thanks.

UPDATE: I checked the logs & found a few relevant entries. But it basically says that for some reason it cant initialise OpenGL backend, then stops wayland followed by all Qt processes failing causing any GUI elements to completely fail after that. What should i do now? I can't use dnf since the wifi isnt connected yet in the tty3 so should I try a repair from the live boot?

[–] Ezek@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh, I hadn't realised those were there. I'll see if I can get the GUI back up through the terminal. Do you have any idea what might've causes it to fail in the first place, though?

I know I can press esc to check the startup logs, which might hive a few more details. But I'm out right now, so I can't check till later.

I am running Fedora KDE 40 alongside Windows 11 23H2, (the PC in question is also sometimes used by a few other family members, which is the reason I still have Windows) When I tried restarting into Fedora today, everything appeared fine, I selected the normal boot fedora option in GRUB, and the normal loading screen showed up. to be then followed by the cursor appearing for a while before it simply disappears, the screen goes black & turns back on stuck on a screen which is completely black with a terminal-like cursor in the very top left, It will then stay stuck thet way until you forcibly turn off the power. This hasn't happened before. I tried a live boot and checked the partition... It dosen't seem any different than normal. One thing I did notice is that yesterday on the login screen the sleep and restart option where bugged out, but I wouldn't think that's relevant? Can anyone help. I'm not sure what could be happening.

EDIT: here are some pics of the logs, I still dont know why this happened or really what to do, I'm still fairly new to this

 

I am trying to install Fedora KDE 40 on my HP laptop alobside windows 11 on a 40 GB partition. for some reason, installation works fine but gts stuck at 'Generating initramfs' i cant see any other issues and USB access is fine. what could be going wrong?

 

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or if anyone can help me, but today, I installed the ubuntu ISO & converted it to a bootable format on an 128GB SD card (All my USBs are too small) I ran the installer as normal & here's where I think I messed up. I allocated a 27GB partition for linux but that option didnt apper on the installer upon being asked where to install to. Thinking nothing of it, I ran the installer clicking on the install to drive option & halfway through it failed saying something like Error16 Drive is busy & the installation was only half done. now on attempt to restart windows is completely gone & all I can do is boot up a very fragmented Ubuntu without internet & firefox works very slowly. If anyone can help, then it's appreciated. I've always wanted to try Linux & just got an SD card large enough to do it, but now this happens.
