Frustrating issue. Some suggestions for more info: Check the codecs that the system has provided: cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec Check for missing firmware dmesg | grep - firmware Check sound server status: systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service Check what's controlling...

"sound all good" is good :) Thanks for the output in post #47. It looks like the best default sound card the Intel 100. That is the sound card the system provides. The AMD sound card is on the Radeon video card. I expect the Intel is the one in current use. If the sound is good, it's probably...

Good luck with your studies :) The answers to your queries are in the manual pages: man ldd man ldconfig man ld.so These man pages are quite informative, though there may be some terms and concepts that need to be looked up elsewhere, but they do express the canonical information on the...

@nolew In post #36, where you showed the output of alsamixer, there are a couple of adjustments you could try: unmute S/PDIF; raise all sound levels to maximum so they show red at the top of each slider. You can use the instructions for adjustment described by @Condobloke in post #33. It...

Thanks. Your post #1 sparked me into trying to clarify dependencies for myself as well. In my case the issue started with the output of the command: apt list '?config-files' This command lists package names that have config files from those packages that have been removed but have left the...

Thanks for that hint @CaffeineAddict . An alternative to the option "autoremove --purge" is "autopurge". The following is some ancillary observations which are based on an exploration which may appear long-winded, but tries to clarify some issues about dependencies. The package that apt...

Yes, to make a prompt that includes some information like the user's name and the hostname, it's the formatting for PS that will achieve that. Not thinking that you were referencing alternatives, it's nevertheless quite possible to have the shell working with any number of creative turns without...

So far as I've read, tuta is banned in Russia and Egypt. Speculating, I guess banning an encrypted email service is to make it easier for the banning authority to access the emails. The issue would be pertinent for travelers who might visit such countries with tuta accounts they use, or others...

Tuta was tutanota, now abbreviated to the shorter name. As a former free subscriber, I found it quite secure for my purposes. It could send ordinary mail, or if the user chooses, encrypted + passworded mail such that the mail recipient doesn't receive the mail, but just a message that mail for...

Evidently, it's a chromebook that comes with the particular issues associated with that. Here's some info with links that may be useful: Maybe here as well: https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/faqs/operating-systems/install-linux-chromebook/

Hello @eumdaeum I note that you are a young teenager, and evidently keen to continue with linux, so kudos and plaudits to you! Congratulations on such a judicious choice of interest. If the following is a bit obscure to you, you might like to consider looking at another distro other than Kali...

To resolve conflicts signaled by package managers, it depends partly on what the conflicts are. If you show an actual conflict message from the package manager, then readers may be able to see a way through the problem. An example of a common conflict is when a program, say one named XXX...

Here is a set of 5 kernel options that worked on an old machine here in the past to get a keyboard recognised. They may or may not be useful, but since your post reminded me, here they are and were all used on one line at once: atkbd.reset=1 i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset=1 i8042.nopnp=1...

Thanks for that extra info about creating your own iso. It makes a difference. The inspection of the iso as described in post #2 won't find a home to extract, but as mentioned, the home directory will be created when the root file system is set up. When that final main root filesystem is set by...

The short answer to the query about the home directory in the arch iso, is that there is none to extract. In this case, using the iso: archlinux-2024.05.01-x86_64.iso, since you mentioned arch. To demonstrate that that is the case, you can list all the files from the mount point on the mounted...

Reading the link provided, it's clear firefox started in 2002, a good decade after linux hit the net. Wikipedia has an entry on the history as well. Before the firefox browser, there was Netscape from around the mid 1990s, but before both of them was lynx which is a text browser, and is still...

Checking the checksums is useful when one has an issue when using the .iso. Often the issue is trouble with freezes during the installation using the .iso, but there are plenty of other symptoms a faulty .iso can manifest. The point of checking the checksums in these situations is simply to try...
