Hi!Can someone help me? I have spent considerable time to rename each file to add series of numbers to each file while retaining its title. I have almost completed doing so.But when I check back - all those files are now missing and cannot be found in the folder itself. I have checked the "trash" but still there is no-sign of those missing files. I am most certain I did not delete them while doing renaming.
I am using Fedora 37 and used Dolphin file manager to do the renaming. What has happened. Kindly advised.Thanks

I posted this on the 2nd Slackware64_15.0 install. I just want to ask here directly how to eliminate the grub error prompt before booting. I have NVIDIA card but I'm using nouveau drivers.

Quote: error: no suitable video mode found
boot in blind mode My first Slackware64 install is pure XFCE, 2nd is full install with alienbob's daw template.

I installed grub during first install with os-prober enabled. I didn't install any bootloader on the second install hoping the grub os-prober will take care of booting it properly. I can boot, login and startx on 2nd Slack obviously BUT there's always that error message, and it can be annoying.:D

I've tried some tweaks on /etc/default/grub file.
Quote: GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=$( sed 's/Slackware /Slackware-/' /etc/slackware-version )
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULE=all_video
...
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
...
# os-prober
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false I was thinking of chrooting on my 2nd install and re-install grub from there. Thanks in advance fellow Slackers.

Slackware64-14.2 still running on this desktop.

I turned off the desktop and removed the power cord to replace the video
card. The MediaSonic Probox also powered down. When I plugged in the desktop
and turned it on, along with the Probox, the two single drives in the Probox
(/data2 and /data3) automatically mounted, but the 2-drive logical volume,
/dev/md0 did not mount. When I try to mount it manually I find that it
doesn't exist.

I've gone through this video card swapping several times this week with the
LV mounting, either automatically of when I do so manually.

Where do I start looking for the reason it's not now seen?

Hello,

Our final goal is install a server distro, most likely RedHat, in its paid version (about 349, I think) to support a server based web site + Firebird DB in cloud.
This system will support an IoT robot for an agricultural machine that we have in course of patent.

I will develop all the server code in a modern local Intel machine.

Then migrate the tested system to the cloud, in a vps that will have Red Hat installed.

The question is to know which distro select for the development ?

It should be a non paid version, and to be as close as possible to the interfaces of RedHat, to flatten the learning curve,

Thanks for your help, and hace an excellent day !

My CentOS 7.9 VPS gets overloaded - CPU - for a Little TIME around one or two per month

Widevine is not working for Firefox 102.9.0esr and Kodi Matrix 19.5 on a 32 bit x86.

I installed Widevine via http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...ugin/pkg/15.0/, copied libwidevinecdm.so to /usr/lib/firefox and installed it via Kodi's inputstream.adaptive.

diff .kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so /usr/lib/firefox/libwidevinecdm.so

They are the same.

Am I the only one facing this?

Remark: On Slackware-arm Widevine is running nicely in Kodi.

I'm looking at Musescore and wondering how to write two voices (?) in the same line? See the attached PNG and notice that the one voice has half notes only and that the other has quarter and eighth notes. How can I write that measure as-is in Musescore?

If it were just quarter notes over eighth notes, then it would be possible to break one of them into eighth notes via Notes->Tuplets->Other but that does not seem to work for breaking a half note. Writing them if they are the same duration is not a problem, like the quarter notes at the end of the previous measure. But the problem seems to be how to get some different durations in the two voices.

Apologies for having forgotten the correct musical nomenclature.

Hi,
We usually forward files via sftp to a remote host (thousands of files every day via automated bash scripts).
The remote host has sshd configured to be
- reachable with keys for interactive sessions
- reachable with password for sftp subsystem (with specific directory tree in the sshd config)
The users for sftp don't have access to an interactive shell (/sbin/nologin)

extract of a part of /etc/ssh/sshd_config (some info anonymized by xxx.. and yyy)
<<
Match Group xxxxxxxx
PasswordAuthentication yes
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ChrootDirectory /xxx/yyy/%u
ForceCommand internal-sftp -d datas -u 7
>>

Sending of files to the ssh/sftp server is running perfectly when the files are under 100MB.
sftp has issues when trying to send files of sizes above around 200MB (the size limit may probably differ from situation to situation with regard to hardware, versions, ...), but the issue exists, even if I don't find much info on that.

So I would like to replace sftp by rsync with ssh for files over a certain size.
My first tests aren't successful:
rsync -e "ssh -l someuser" ./localfile remotehost:/remotepath/
protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
(see the rsync man page for an explanation)
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(178) [sender=3.1.3]

Question: as I need to specify user for the ssh underlying connection of rsync: is the "/sbin/nologin" the reason for the issue or is it something else ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

In order to manage a pile of LibreOffice Writer documents, I want to assign keywords to individual documents, and then search the entire directory for the documents that carry that particular keyword. Can this be done?
