I'm using Solus 4.0 (in a VM) and trying to make screenshots of "typical" kernel panic output ("BSOD"). The init system in Solus is systemd. I tried the following commands in the terminal without success: $ kill -6 1 Doesn't do anything (no echo). $ sudo kill -SEGV 1 Also does nothing... # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Freezes the system but it's not what I need. Any ideas? I'd like to see the stack calls and all. It's not about freezing the system with a fork bomb. **References used:** - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/85357/intentional-kernel-panic-under-linux - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/66197/how-to-cause-kernel-panic-with-a-single-command - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/66698/how-does-systemd-survive-a-kill-9 - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49655943/how-to-create-a-kernel-panic-in-rhel-without-rebooting-after-panic

So, I am busy writing myself a program to move and restore items from my trash (recycle bin), currently I can move it to the trash, but if I try to restore it from the trash using a file manager, it fails. The trash directory is located at ~/.local/share/Trash and it has 2 folders inside it, files/ to store the files you want to delete and info/, to store the data about the files. I got the file naming correct in the application, so that is not the problem, and I got the details that gets stored in the info/ folder correct as well. Yet, if I delete something with my file manager and then recover it from the trash, there is no problem, but when I move it to the trash with my code, it can only be recovered by manually moving it... Here are some examples of my application: $ nrash todelete.txt > Moved to trash The above creates this: (inside Trash/files) todelete.txt (inside Trash/info) todelete.txt.trashinfo Inside the **.trashinfo** file, the following resides: [Trash Info] Path=/home/netsu/Documents/todelete.txt DeletionDate=2021-10-08T18:24:04 In a .trashinfo for a file deleted from the filemanager instead, you would find this: [Trash Info] Path=/home/netsu/Documents/pp.txt DeletionDate=2021-10-08T18:25:02 The two are exactly the same, yet don't work the same... Is there something I'm missing about moving things to the trash? Why can the file that was placed there by the file manager be restored, but the one I placed there can not? Is this the universal way the trash works on Linux distros, or does it change depending on distro/desktop environment? Note: My file does appear inside Trash when I open it in the file manager, but I can't restore it. - Distro: Solus - DE: MATE - File Manager: Caja

I'm using solus, the installed version of snapd according to software centre is 2.57.5-72 but snap --version shows snapd version as 2.51. any idea on how to sync the two? (I need >2.55 to install zoom-client)

I had a system setup to dual boot Windows 10 with Solus Linux; however, after some trouble with one of my secondary drives (ended up removing it, Windows worked fine without it for a time), attempting to boot Windows in GRUB yielded an error I do not remember, and I had to update Solus through the terminal to get it to boot properly (if I remember correctly). Now, Solus boots fine, but Windows doesn't show up in GRUB at all and after researching and trying solutions for hours I feel like smashing my head against a brick wall. Things I've seen recommended and tried but don't work: - **Attempting to automatically fix it by running os-prober and update-grub.** At first, I was receiving an error stating WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.. Once I resolved this by [restarting the lvmetad service](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43555360/restart-lvmetad-service-in-linux-centos-cpanel) , it would output nothing, GRUB would say it updated its configuration, and still no Windows. - **Attempting to manually add a Windows 10 Boot Entry.** Mostly following [this](https://deriklima.com/posts/how-to-add-windows-10-to-grub/) guide, I struggled to find the fs-uuid but eventually managed to get it. I was never able to get the hints_string working though, always receiving the error grub-probe: warning: unknown device type nvme0n1.. Furthermore, I could not find the /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi I'm supposed to have in my Windows installation, instead finding bootmgfw.efi located at /Windows/Boot/EFI/bootmgfw.efi and receiving an error whenever I try to access the other location that it doesn't exist. Despite these hurdles, I pressed on and added the following as a manual entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, only to be met with an error: invalid signature and disappointment.

# Microsoft Windows 10

- **Attempting to run Startup Repair from a bootable Windows 10 USB.** Following [this](https://askubuntu.com/a/1318980) suggested answer, I booted into my Windows 10 installer USB, went to "Repair your computer", selected "Startup Repair.", and was told that Windows couldn't figure out what was wrong and was simply prompted to "Shut down". At this point, I'm exhausted. I feel like I'm running in circles with what I'm finding online, and I can't really think of anything else that could work. I'm no expert with Linux; I'm half-decent at terminal stuff, but I don't have a good understanding of how these things work to try and fix it from nothing on my own. And even though Solus is lovely to use, it still has its share of issues I'm running into (albeit those are irrelevant to the big problem here), and I'd still really like to have a powerful desktop computer capable of running Windows so just abandoning my Windows partition isn't something I want to accept. Anything is appreciated, thank you so much in advance. For reference if it helps, here's the output of fdisk -l that's relevant to my boot drive:

Also, I'm pretty sure Windows would boot in legacy mode based on the output I found in setupact.log after following [this](https://www.diskpart.com/gpt-mbr/how-to-check-if-uefi-or-bios-0825.html) guide to find it.

I installed solus os and accidently didn't include boot menu .Os doesn't boot and can't get into the bios either.Is that fixable? Plz,help.My device is Dell Inspiron 5567

I had tried to start screencast by the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R. Although it didn't start. Why this is happening? It was working fine when I was using Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora.

I'm trying to build a package from source (ROCm) (Distro:Solus): libnuma isn't available so I had to build it from source. And once I installed it, even though the files are in /usr/local, make still gives the error numa.h not found. How to add /usr/local/include and libraries to the path of gcc headers?

I just installed Solus. Its repositories are somewhat limited. I'm interested in adding a supplemental repository. But I don't know which one would be a good one. So let's say I want to find out what repositories out there have a particular software, let's say xscreeensaver. I don't want to add a repository that just has xscreensaver, there are some of those out there. I want to add a fairly large repository that includes xscreensaver. Are there any places one can search for repositories by package? I've found a couple sites with lists of repositories, but they're in alphabetical order and do not allow searching by package. Perhaps this would not even work. Perhaps the softwares on repositories for one distro do not work on unrelated distros. Then that would answer my question as well.

I'm very new to Linux, and I'm trying to make my application (bash script) pinnable to taskbar (I have Solus). I'm doing this via desktop entry (copied and modified from another application that is pinnable). This is my "install"-script: #!/usr/bin/env sh BASE_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)" || exit 2 mkdir -p "$HOME"/.local/share/applications cat "$HOME"/.local/share/applications/example.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Example Exec=$BASE_DIR/example.sh Icon=$BASE_DIR/example.png Terminal=false Type=Application Keywords=example;sample;test; EOF However, my application still cannot be pinned/favorited to taskbar. But it does appear in Solus application menu, and the keywords will find it from there too. What might I be doing wrong? Do I need to do something more?

I have tried dual boot as well as Linux on the entire disk - same problem. When the nvme is mounted and when trying to write to it; sooner or later it freezes and journalctl says that it can not write to it. Then it is lost, does not show up w/ lsblk. Tried with arch, solus and elementary, a couple of times it has worked but 99.6% of the times it is a fail. Has been posted on the arch forum for some time now without success. Details here

I recently moved to Microsoft's Windows 10 because of some apps that wine wouldn't run. I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable Gnu/Linux user. I am trying to set up a dual-boot with windows 10 and solus. These are the steps I followed: 1. I shrank the C:\ partition of the drive, to allow space for Gnu/Linux. (The new partition had 160 gigs). 2. I created a bootable Solus USB with balenaEtcher. 3. I restarted my computer, pressed f2 to enter the BIOS, and selected the USB as the first boot option. I applied these settings and the computer automatically restarted and booted into the live Solus. 4. I went into the KDEPartition Manager, and formatted the 160gb partition into ext4. 5. I applied this, restarted the computer, and started the Installation Manager 6. Upon reaching the "Where should we install?" menu, I selected the "custom" option. 7. I selected my 160gb volume to be the "/". *This may be wrong. I have never installed using the custom menu. I might have need to choose this to be "/home", but no tutorials mentioned this. Also, the 160gb volume showed up as 170gb.* 8. I spammed through the rest of the options, such as username/passwd. 9. I restarted the computer, removing the USB. 10. The computer booted into Windows 10. 11. I though it might be a boot order issue, so I checked the BIOS. There was no Gnu/Linux option. There were 3 Windows options, but that is the way my computer has been for a while, even when using Gnu/Linux. nevertheless, I tried each of them, but all of them predictably booted into Windows. 12. I got a new installation USB with a new iso and tried steps 2-9 again. 10 and 11 were the results, again. 13. I entered Windows' partition manager to see what's what, and windows had replaced that new partition with the drive letter D:\ I am not sure why this is doing this. I am on a Dell Precision Tower 3420, which originally had Windows 10 pre-installed. The default barracuda HHD was too slow, so i used a 120gb SSD with Ubuntu instead. I bought a 500gb m.2 SSD and transfered the old SSD to the m.2. I needed Windows, so I cloned the original HHD to the m.2, wiping Gnu/Linux. Then I tried the aforementioned steps. I do *not* want to use a VM, so please do not include answers involving that. Much thanks in advance!

Some software I use uses inkscape to convert images from one format to another, as an intermediate step. This means that they write images to the /tmp folder, and attempt to use inkscape on those images to obtain the image format they need. However, on my system, inkscape doesn't like the /tmp folder. When trying to open/edit an svg file in the /tmp directory using inkscape, e.g., inkscape /tmp/test.svg it throws the error/warning

** (inkscape:6528): WARNING **: Can't open file: test.svg (doesn't exist)

The file exists, and I can open it with Budgie's default viewer. When doing something similar in the home folder, e.g., inkscape ~/test.svg the test file opens just fine. Inkscape itself runs when calling inkscape somewhere in the /tmp folder, it just can't use files from the folder. I am running Solus 4, and installed inkscape using sudo snap install inkscape.

I'm using an ultrabook (Dell XPS13 9350) connected to a Razer Core V2, (which works wonderfully!) inside of which is an AMD Vega Frontier Edition (air-cooled). This part of the setup has never given me problems, and is very capable despite the limited Thunderbolt bandwidth. The outputs to many system info commands are in a separate pastebin: https://pastebin.com/RmMH4RZN The problem is my LG UltraWide 34in second monitor (3440x1440, plugged directly into the Vega with a displayport cable), which only worked for a short period after I got it, before my distro (Solus) updated Xorg from version 1.19 to 1.20. It was also necessary, at first, to use these commands to start the screen (which came from the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME) : xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink "Radeon Vega Frontier Edition @ pci:0000:08:00.0" Intel xrandr --setprovideroutputsource "Radeon Vega Frontier Edition @ pci:0000:08:00.0" Intel xrandr --output DisplayPort-1-2 --above eDP1 (eDP1 was, at one point, lvds1) The display settings screens of Gnome, Mate, Budgie, and KDE have never shown the second monitor until the above commands were executed After the update, the second monitor has never worked, and this is the state I'm in right now, using the above commands: Also, I do realize that I could roll back the update and lock the version, but that would only be a band-aid, and something else will eventually break, so I would like to find a fix for the current version. First I tried using Gnome with Wayland, which recognized that there was a second monitor right away, but also looked scrambled (only at 21:9 resolutions, 16:9 works fine in wayland), just like it does in the second picture above. Then I tried using Ubuntu, which had the second monitor working, but only on a reduced resolution. The native resolution still looked scrambled. While on Ubuntu, I installed the AMDGPU-PRO drivers, which never even recognized the second monitor, even after the commands above. I've also tried messing with the refresh rates, to no effect. For a time, I dabbled in the xorg.conf.d folder, but I still haven't made much progress there, except for getting the external monitor's speakers to work at startup.

I had a perfectly fine and running Solus OS installation on a 100gb of 1tb hard drive. When I created a partition on the remaining 900gb, boot just vanished. I tried all the things from the internet, regarding the Solus or not. I even don't have the hard drive as a boot option anymore, but I can see the partition and all the files if I boot live CD or other hard disk. **Now the weirdest part:** if I attach the "problematic" hard drive to the computer via. USB enclosure I AM ABLE TO BOOT WITHOUT PROBLEM, but still no luck if attached to SATA, so I suspect there must be some problem with EFI. I tried everything I know and everything I could find on the internet without luck. Note: there were some updates in Solus that might have messed up the boot, but I doubt as I can regularly boot via USB and not via SATA **EDIT:** I remember I followed [this instruction](https://solus-project.com/articles/installation/disks/en) while installing the Solus OS. Boot, swap and main partition are visible via GParted. Boot partition has both **boot** and **esp** flags set. GParted also shows that around 300MB disk usage on boot partition that is 500MB large. I tried the following [boot rescue instruction](https://solus-project.com/articles/troubleshooting/boot-rescue/en) and everything went OK, but the disk still doesn't load. I also tried to use [boot repair tool](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair) from Live CD with no luck.

I am trying to run **SolusOS** on my computer for a few days but after I choose it on my pendrive it just show a 5 sec countdown and then nothing happens, just a black screen with a cursor blinking. I searched on internet and some people are having this trouble AFTER installation too, but in my case it doesn't even start the live system, I tried after pressing Alt + F1: sudo systemctl stop lightdm sudo systemctl start lightdm sudo startx

Everything worked fine last time I used Solus, and now I cannot boot because of the error below. Let's try to solve it without using a live USB. **Failed to start File System Check on /dev/disk/by-partuuid/5ff8cfe6-53e1-43b1-9275-dc6f24ad812a**

The laptop I'm using has Solus installed on it, but I accidentally bricked it while trying to get the right video driver. It's a MacBook Air. I have a HDD with a partition containing a live version of the newest Solus, but the laptop isn't recognizing any external media as bootable. How can I fix this?

So I'm using solus, but I'm sure that other Linux with GUI have the same problem. I'm formatting my USB, which I go to file manager (GUI), click the drive to mount it, then right click and select format (I've choose the erase data option). But since there isn't any progress bar, how can I know when is it done and how much percentage is left if it's not done yet? Will I get a notification, or can I know whether it's done by checking if the drive is listed on file manager (since it looks like when you start formatting it, it'll disappear in the drive list)?

Suppose I remotely start my Solus linux machine with Wake-On-Lan. Then I would like to connect to it using VNC, but seems like VNC server is not running yet. After machine just booted, there is no user currently logged in and on the screen it asks you to choose user and type your password. After which it starts my desktop environment and VNC becomes available. The problem is that I do not know the way to log in to desktop environment remotely while connected over ssh. Is there such way?
