External NVMe slow once?
I’ve immediately thought of some defects but smartctl doesn’t report anything wrong, then I’ve tried again to copy (multiple times) the same folder and other files and now it’s super fast as it should be. What could have been the problem the first time? I didn’t have any program in background eating resources when I tried and I have a very powerful PC (AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX).
I’m on Kubuntu 22.04 with latest 6.2.7 kernel and I’ve always tried with the same USB port which is an USB 3.0 type.

DNS failures
I do not know of a good alternative to the WinSCP app, and using sftp or ftp does not work well. (I am guessing that the Windows elements are set up to prevent useful access via those methods; although I could be off-track on that.)
I am not writing to ask about remedies for the Windows app. What I would like to know about is a way to restore DNS functions on Linux once they have been disrupted to this extent.

Printing bash function definition until a blank line is encountered
Code: sed -n -E "$ptrn" "$flnm" In addition to the function definition, I can print consecutive lines until the first blank line in encountered (in order to capture the a corresponding documentation string), which I can do with
Code: /${ptrn}/,/^[[:blank:]]*$/p Here is an example bash function definition with documentation strings.
Code: firefly-wht () # TST Some Descriptiion
{
## FN firefly-wht [first docstring]
## DS Print parameters in white colour [second docstring]
local -r rst="$( tput sgr0 )" The difficulty arises when trying to colour the function definition with a blue foreground, and comments with a white foreground. The respective colour escape sequences are stored in "$blu" and "$wht".
Because I cannot do something like the following, what possibilities exist ?
Code: km_ere="[[:blank:]]*(##|;;|!!|//|@c)[[:blank:]]+"
/${ptrn}/,/^[[:blank:]]*$/p ; s%${ptrn}%${blu} %p ; s%${km_ere}%${wht} %p
Tricia, most recent update has made unwanted changes
2 Can no longer switch to other users, no longer an option to do so
3 Cannot restore as Timeshift will not open!
4 I'm traumatized and wish i'd never done this update.....it's a horror!
5 Yes, I know tricia is approaching EOL....no issue with that.
6 I am looking for a way to fix these issues.....other than getting a whole new system

[SOLVED] grub-install: error: unknown filesystem
this happens for me only on slackware-current. I have no problems installing and using grub on slackware15.
I use other distro to set up grub and use slackware-current with elilo as a walkaround.
