Can you remember the last version that worked for you? A quick workaround could be downloading an older build off the github.

Still this is extremely disappointing and hopefully someone forks it.

To add to the software point, STOP buying hardware that requires some shitty software to fully work.

I did this back in the Windows 7 days years before I even knew anything about Linux. But Razers rootkit managed to load in before the Win7 login screen then crash it. After that I avoided any peripherals with mandatory software and it made my transition to Linux a lot easier than most people I know.

Funnily Metallica was the first thing 11yo me pirated after some older student told me about uTorrent/PirateBay.

Same guy also sent me some Slayer and Entombed over bluetooth. Hope he's doing good these days.

 

About a week late to post this but someone could probably use this info.

This is a community made patch to fix serious issues playing Black Ops 3 online everything from stuttering in menus to RCEs, it's basically a requirement even if you're just playing zombies with friends.

The latest version no longer requires you to run an exe along side the game and is officially supported on Linux now.

My main backup drive is internal/Sata but I cloned it to an external USB one after I started noticing issues with it

My bad I'm reading this all off my phone rn while using a live boot on my PC

When I tried using Ls on my main install it just froze without giving any output, I even left it for over an hour and it didn't budge.

It's not the boot drive and is unmounted at the moment

Any data recovery I'm trying at the moment is from the portable drive I cloned the main one from. And yes I got actually important stuff backed in multiple places, it's mostly media and stuff like game saves I'm trying to get back.

I'm actually in a live boot rn copying as many files off it to other drives (and it seems to be working unlike on my main install?)

I am using fstab to mount my drives not KDEs mounting solution as I've had issues with that in the past.

But I still get a popup in the bottom corner saying the drive couldn't mount

And yeah even went mounting and going through the drive just using CLI it still freezes up, I dunno if there's a way to get an error log from Ls? Or something similar

 

I've been on Linux for close to a year but I'm still kinda a newbie and the past 40 something hours have been really testing me.

I had my 4tb backup HDD break on me in a strange way, it still mounts and at first glance seems to still be working, But KDE throws an error saying the drive won't mount (even tho it is?) and I'm unable to copy files from it using Gui or Term commands it just freezes up without throwing an error message, It also freezes after using Ls more than once or twice on it.

Now last night I used clonezilla to copy the entire drive to a portable HDD of the same size, now that drive is giving me the same issue. So I'm assuming it's a software issue and not the drive itself? at least for the 2nd drive.

I already tried fsck to no avail and I'm abit stumped on where to go from there. Any help would be great!

Edit: Should also add the drives EXT4

Update: At the directions of a Gentoo nerd I know. I'm currently in a live boot of Ubuntu copying files to another drive and they seem to be working so far.

Part of the issue might with my few month old install of Endeavour, But I'm still gonna replace the drive. I already paid for a new on.

Another Update: I was able to recover the majority of my files to other drives by running an Ubuntu live USB and copying them over on that, So seems something on my main install was preventing me from copying files? Either way the drive itself is still done for and I got two others on the way to replace it, I've also reinstalled my distro as I was having some bugs with it anyway.

It is in settings though?

A lot of us did but not everyone knows about LibreWolf or Mullvad etc

Also can't help but think the average person will see the news about Mozilla's new trackers and tell themselves 'Well if I'm gonna be tracked anyway I might as well stick with Chrome'

Yeah pretty much.

Unless you want to build your own car from the ground up, which you can do in most places if it passes safety regulations. But that takes time, money, workspace and knowing what you're even doing.

Sorry, that just sounds annoying and less productive.

It is but the "holy trinity" of Ui/UX design Apple, Google and Microsoft have been pushing this for years now.

My eye twitches anytime I go onto a webpage that's just a phone app in the middle of my screen with two blank voids on either side.

Half the reason I switched to Linux almost a year ago was to avoid Microsofts forced invasive Ai bullshit. Seeing stuff like Recall has only cemented my decision.

I could go on a long rant about what I consider "right & wrong" when it comes to Ai but I'm just some dude and wanna use my own computer in the way I want to.

(Bonus update) I'm back on KDE6 and it's actually working! I ran Cinnamon for about a day before missing KDE and tried a fresh install of EndeavourOS. It worked fine, Wayland still doesn't work but I'm only getting minor bugs with x11 compared to when I tried to update from 5.27

(Update) Well finally back on my desktop but sadly not on my original install, Thanks for all the help and advice! Sadly every path just sent me into another brick wall, I'm starting to think my drive itself is physically failing as I couldn't mount it in chroot and even had trouble reformatting it...I'll keep an eye on it and not save anything important to it.

I've decided I'm just not cut out for vanilla Arch just yet and gone back to Endeavour but this time with Cinnamon (for now) Thanks again!

After upgrading to KDE 6 and experiencing too many bugs for it to be useable for me I went back to a snapshot I made right before upgrading.

Now I've spent half my Friday tracking down different systemctl errors and trying to fix corrupted conf files from live USB environments, physically unplugged all but my nvme boot drive.

Rn I'm in a situation where I'm getting

[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot. See 'systemctl status boot.mount' for details [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File System.

Then it's asking to give root password or press control-D, which I've dealt with before but this time my keyboard just doesn't work

I tried to just sort it myself reading the Arch Wiki before begging for help on forums but I'm kinda at my wits end, This is a pretty new Arch installed and the first time using btfs on my main drive, I last updated maybe 4 days ago before today. I've also successfully restored from timeshift snapshots on this install before without issues.

Any help where to go from here would be great, thanks in advance.

 

I've been playing Black Ops 3 through Proton just fine until a few days ago some of the textures mainly transparent ones like glass turned bright white, It happened after I switch from running the game on GE-Proton 8-9 to 8-25.

I've tried everything I could think of, switching back to 8-9 and regular Proton Experimental, manually clearing the vulkan cache and even reinstalling the whole game after making sure no files were left over.

Any ideas how to fix this? I am using an Nvidia GPU, which is normally the cause of my problems...

 

I've been using Krusader for a few months after looking for something similar to Double Commander which I used years ago, It's been mostly great but I've been having a few issues mainly when transferring or archiving larger files.

I've found making zip & tar archives with in Krusader takes a lot longer than doing so in Dolphin, Also I've recently been having issues when trying to copy or move large amounts of data to separate drives, last night I had a transfer fail on me twice then take a lot longer than expected when I finally fixed that issue.

I've already looked back at double commander and some of it's forks but stuff like most of them lacking a dark mode has been putting me off using them regularly. I'd ideally like it to be Qt based to it fits my KDE theming, But running a GTK program isn't a deal breaker for me.

Any advice or ideas would be great thanks in advance!
