Yes this. Imagine posting to a stack themed site, your question would be closed for being incomplete. A screenshot of the failed boot would be great, and some info about the options you chose when installing and the type of machine you’re using.

Hi, for the past few months I have been working on my website Installies. It is a site for managing, organizing, and retrieving shell scripts for use to install, remove, update or compile apps on Linux and Unix-based systems....
I have been using PopOS for a while now (came installed with my S76 Lemp10), but now looking for a new distro (I want to try Linux Mint). I am looking for the easiest way to set up the new distro with most of my current applications installed....
My advice is to install a clean copy of the new distro and install new software as you need it. I do this to avoid the inevitable extra packages hanging around that I never use.
If you want to get real crazy you could switch your apt sources from pop to mint and tell apt to reinstall everything, but it will almost certainly fail at some point.
Is this site insane? On Linux I have access to so many more applications than other platforms. Sorry apple, ios apps repeating the same thing infinitely doesn’t count.
Yes. But since we’re in Linux land, you may be able to replay the journal and un-dirty your disk by mounting with the ntfs3 driver listed here docs.kernel.org/filesystems/ntfs3.html, or you could try using ‘ntfsfix -d [your device]’ from the ntfs-3g package to clear the journal and the dirty bit, although whatever the last operation was on the filesystem may be left in an incomplete state since the journal is not replayed.
I haven’t done it in a while, but with virtualbox I have used direct disk access by creating a special vmdk with vboxmanage to give a VM access to real partitions.
Well I’ve joined the “accidentally trashing your system with rm -rf” club! Luckily I didn’t delete my home directory with all the things I care about, but I did delete /boot and /usr, and maybe /var (long story, boils down to me trying to delete non-system directories named those but reflexively adding the slash in front...
ser*, and said non-root user being “nonexistant” (i.e set via ENV)? Can such container -STILL- be exploited/breached through malicious means? Forgot to mention that its a DOCKER container @ title, but there you have it. Just curious....
I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
While I was switching distros, I accidentally broke a partition. I’m almost certain that all the data is there, but it doesn’t have a filesystem (I used ext4). Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...

Gnome 3 has an option to keep one display fixed when changing workspaces… Also most window managers allow you to keep certain windows on all workspaces, maybe that will help?
There’s supposedly a variety of different spectroscopy methods but what drives the choice of one method over another? If elements drive the colors, how do you parse out individual elements from a compound?...
Waiting for an actual spectrographer to weigh in, but I think there are databases of molecular emission spectra that can be used to match a sample for complex molecules.
Each element has a known set of emission lines. Mixing elements together in molecules can shift these lines some and add them together. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum has some examples across the visible spectrum.
Afaik emission spectra are measured for astronomy and passive remote sensing (since generally you’re just capturing what’s already being emitted). Most spectrometers or spectroradiometers can be used to measure emission or reflection, so then it’s just a question of if you want to measure a sample’s reflectivity by shining a known source of light at it or it’s emission by exciting it with heat or electricity or lasers.
I think Raman spectroscopy is used to excite a crystal lattice with a laser to identify its structure based on the wavelengths emitted outside the laser band, so it has a specific application on crystallography, just like X-ray diffraction.
Also don’t forget mass spectrometers literally rip apart molecules and sort the atoms by mass, so the relative composition of elements can be measured directly.
So…I have an…interesting behavior I’ve never had before with an Nvidia or integrated intel chipsets…I have now my AMD card plugged both to a normal HDMI monitor, and then to another HDMI TV. Both work well. However, when I turn the TV off… The monitor will start flickering. About three flickers every minute or so....
Thinking that the TV is periodically connecting and your desktop environment is trying to switch to dual monitors before quickly losing the TV connection.
2 days ago (see 2) I posted something into the !programmer_humor community which got almost 1000 upvotes (see 1) while the user numbers for the last week are at 131 (see 3), this doesn’t add up. How can 131 users upvote almost 1000 times?
Heya folks, some people online told me I was doing partitions wrong, but I’ve been doing it this way for years. Since I’ve been doing it for years, I could be doing it in an outdated way, so I thought I should ask....
I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....
First start using ardour gimp inkscape libreoffice and blender on windows, then dual boot or use a VM to install Linux and start challenging yourself to use it for real stuff when you can. You may eventually realize you’re using Linux much more than Windows, like when you boot into Windows and every time require a bunch of updates. Eventually your windows will be so out of date you remove it entirely or start using a windows vm.
As title says. Obviously I could setup different virtual machines or spend the time and install all the DEs in one VM if it is even possible without breaking the OS. I’m wondering if there is an already made iso or something that installs all the maintained DEs for trying.
Just be ready to clean out your home, maybe add a new user to test them. I set up KDE then went back to gnome and it broke my cursors somehow… nbd but it’s a bit annoying
