#LUKS is gonna drive me mad.

This is on a brand new #Debian install. All I'm trying to do is have my home partition encrypted on a second SSD. No matter what I try, I get an unbootable system or it just ignores the second SSD. Right now, the last thing I tried to do was to use LVM to add the second SSD as a physical partition. But that didn't work either.

The last thing I tried was to boot into the graphical installer (not the live session) and install it with the guided partitioning using LVM and encryption. I then booted into a live session, Set up the second SSD as a physical volume and then add that physical volume to the main volume group. I then extended the swap and root partition into the new space provided by the second SSD as physical volume, but it doesn't boot.

Are there any distros that handle this automatically? I'm tired of pulling my hair out.

Manjaro lead dev plans to implement age verification, other team members don't:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/will-manjaro-implement-age-verification/186816
(Aragorn for Manjaro lead! lol)

Solus says they don't have plans to implement anything, but aren't sure if the laws affect them, they are monitoring the situation:

Vipnix (a Gentoo > Funtoo > Macaroni-based, Systemd-free distro) rejects implementing age verification, excludes Brazil (their own country!) and California:
https://vipnix.com.br/site/livecd-vipnix/
https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify/pull/73
(They are pretty brave that despite being a Brazilian company, they decided not to comply, respect to them. Idk if I would personally trust them though, because they include some Google and Cloudflare stuff in their website, but their stance is respectable regardless)

Mobian will do whatever upstream Debian does:

I made an age attestation/verification tracker to track which FOSS OSes (Linux, BSD, others) comply with the laws, which oppose:

Anyone have any suggestions or links for addressing this challenge to get audio working for all guests on a Proxmox server?

https://lemmy.radio/post/12790131

I know I've made #debian and #proxmox behave before but I'm coming up empty in my googling of how to get a fresh Debian install to play nice with the browser based terminal specifically for copying and pasting.

I'm only running the terminal in Debian. No gui.

I tried the serial port trick but that didn't work.

I tried the spice tools but that didn't work.

Yes, I can do it in SSH with putty but I also want to be able to copy paste easily in the browser window from the ProxMox browser console.

The Discover app looks quite promising. However, when I click to install an app from the apps.kde.org website, it opens the Discover app but I get this error:

"could not open appstream://org.kde.discover.desktop because it was not found in any available software repositories"

I am not sure how to add the KDE apps website to the Discover repositories.

Is this a common error? Or do you think it is Debian or Devuan specific error? I haven't yet tried on my Artix Linux installation, as that is currently in a different location.

Linux Distributions for Beginners

I was asked many times over the last years which Linux distribution I would recommend for beginners. I always answered that they should try out multiple ones and choose the one that they like the most.

But, for the people that don't know where to start with that, here is my list of Linux distributions I would recommend for beginners in the Linux world.

#Debian Is Figuring Out How #AgeVerification Laws Will Impact It
For the Debian project that is strictly volunteer/community-driven unlike various commercial #Linux platforms, they are figuring out how such laws will impact them.
From a non-lawyer perspective, it is not yet clear how such regulations apply to a non-commercial, volunteer-driven project like Debian, which does not sell software and provides it in a highly decentralized way.

I will be putting #LinuxMint #Debian Edition, as that is what I have been doing for the last couple years.

Have been doing research on other distros and Desktop Environments. May switch to distro without SystemD and switch to KDE for customers... but haven't gotten something in place that I feel as confident in "just working" and me being able to support.

When migrating #dovecot to a new server running #debian #trixie, no one told me that with dovecot 2.4.0 basically the whole configuration logic changed and that you need to completely re-write your config.

So... My plan to build a Linux laptop for my mom didn't go exactly as I hoped, BUT: my mom is using Linux, and she's very happy with it! 😄

I had an elaborate plan prepared to install Debian root on ZFS, setup remote access, automated snapshots, remote backups, etc. See my two previous polls for the idea; thanks again for your valuable help! It did give me a lot of ideas, and also made me realise that it's okay not to have the "perfect" setup right away.

On install day, a few things happened: a) I wasn't having the best day (thanks long covid!), b) the drive configuration was less ideal than I had hoped (dual boot with Windows on same drive, instead of separate disks), c) there was more data and programs to configure than anticipated, and I had some trouble there as well. d) of course, I had to explain how it works as well.

Basically, I ran out of time and energy.

So I went with plain ext4 in the end, but was able to configure a functional setup for her at least. All in all, not too bad. If she continues to love it, I can always make small (or big; perhaps FreeBSD is ready next year?) tweaks in the future.

But the key takeaway: my mom is a proud Linux user now!! 🎉

I’m thinking of switching away from Debian because of all the systemd AI garbage code. Are there any good alternative distributions that don't rely on systemd and aren't full of AI code? The only things that matter to me are that I can still use X11 and i3wm.

Maybe void Linux and runit are an option. I have to look into that.

edit: fixed typo

#systemd #FckAI #FckLLMs #linux #VoidLinux #debian #x11 #i3wm

@arosano @SamuraiSakura check to see if you can pull up a gopher site with the terminal command `gopher gopher://sdf.org` (or some other url)
That is a gopher browser built in to Debian at least, and probably others. SDF’s gopher site will help you find lots of other sites too

#gopher #debian #bsd

Die #Nextcloud ist gerettet! Die Migration von der Zimablade zu #proxmox hat gedauert, aber verlief ohne Datenverlust.

VM setup:
- #Debian 12 VM mit #Docker (NC + #PostgreSQL + Redis + Nginx)
- Nutzerdaten auf NAS via NFS
- Self-signed HTTPS + HTTP fallback für Obsidian auf GrapheneOS (remotely save mag keine selbstsignierten Zertifikate)

Jetzt erstmal die alten Kabel entfernen und danach ein lahmes lokal laufendes #LLM als Archivar installieren.

Frohe Ostern aus dem #homelab
