I want to restore my windows image created with dd I used the command

dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of="./$(date).img" status=progress

to create the image. There where four partitions in my nvme0n1

* EFI system
  * Microsoft reserved 
  * mircosoft basic dat 
  * Windows recovery environment

my guess to use

dd if=./$(date).img of=/dev/sdaX bs=4m && sync

I was wondering what about the UUID of the partitions. Is there something I need to reconfigure.

I’m using Parrot OS in dual boot with Windows 10. One day Windows just stopped booting from GRUB with next error:

/EndEntire
file path: /ACPI(a034d0,0)/PCI(1,1)/PCI(0,0)/UnknownMessaging(17)/HD(1,800,32000,f452754febf9674d,2,2)
/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/EndEntire 
error: cannot load image.
I have tried using boot-repair to fix this but it didn’t help. Here is its log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6SXYdWxwxh/ 

When I try to boot Windows directly from BIOS, the screen just blinks for a second and nothing happens. Linux is working fine. have tried using boot-repair to fix this but it didn’t help. Here is its log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6SXYdWxwxh/ Secure boot in BIOS is set to off.

### Environment Details - **Previous OS**: Windows 11 - **Current OS**: Arch Linux - **Desktop Environment**: KDE Plasma - **IDE**: Visual Studio Code (**OSS CODE**) - **Required Feature**: Jupyter Notebook support ## Issue Description After migrating from Windows 11 to Arch Linux, I'm unable to get Jupyter notebooks working in VS Code. Specifically, VS Code cannot detect any Python kernels for the notebooks, preventing me from running any code. ## What I've Tried ### Attempt 1: Direct Installation First, I attempted to install Jupyter directly using pip:

pip install jupyter --break-system-packages

This resulted in an error about externally managed environment, which is expected behavior in Arch Linux. ### Attempt 2: Virtual Environment Setup Then I tried setting up a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install jupyter

This is the result I got:

[harshal@quanta ~]$ python -m venv .venv
[harshal@quanta ~]$ source .venv/bin/ativate
bash: .venv/bin/ativate: No such file or directory
[harshal@quanta ~]$ ls
Desktop  Documents  Downloads  Music  Pictures  Public  sof-bin  Templates  Videos  yay
[harshal@quanta ~]$ source .venv/bin/activate
(.venv) [harshal@quanta ~]$ code .
(.venv) [harshal@quanta ~]$

**Code** : ### Attempt 3: System Package Installation I also attempted to install through pacman:

sudo pacman -S python-jupyter

This failed with "target not found: python-jupyter" error. ### Output of ls -al .venv

## Current State Even after these attempts, VS Code still cannot detect any Python kernels for Jupyter notebooks, as shown in the screenshot below: ## System Configuration - VS Code has the Python extension installed - Python is installed and accessible from terminal - Virtual environment is created but not being detected by VS Code ## Expected Behavior VS Code should be able to: 1. Detect the Python interpreter in the virtual environment 2. List it as an available kernel for Jupyter notebooks 3. Allow running notebook cells using the selected kernel ## Actual Behavior - No kernels are being detected - Cannot run any notebook cells - Kernel picker shows no available kernels ## Question How can I properly configure VS Code to detect and use Python kernels for Jupyter notebooks on a fresh Arch Linux installation, considering the system package management restrictions?

I am dual booting a Dell Precision 7520 with Fedora 35 and Windows. Worked fine with Windows 10. "Up"graded to Windows 11 and now every time I boot into W11 it puts its own boot loader ahead of "fedora" in UEFI Setup. So every time after booting into W11, I need to hit F2 and reset the boot order in the UEFI Setup. I've developed a workaround, but it doesn't survive an update to W11's bootmgfw.efi file, nor an update to grub.cfg. Nevertheless, my solution means that I can go for many months without having to do it again. Here is my workaround: 1. boot into Linux 2. Make a backup of the MS Boot directory, just in case:

cd /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft
cp -a Boot Boot.bak

3. Then do the following,

cd /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot
cp -p bootmgfw.efi bootmgf2.efi
cp -p /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubx64.efi bootmgfw.efi
cd /boot/efi/EFI/fedora
cp -p grub.cfg grub.cfg.bak

4. Now edit grub.cfg and replace "bootmgfw" with "bootmgf2" (note that the real grub.cfg might be in /boot/grub2 rather than in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora) 5. reboot Now when Windows 11 puts itself top of the list in the boot order, and boots its bootmgfw.efi, it is actually booting grubx64.efi, which loads grub.cfg. As mentioned, you'll have to repeat steps 3 and 4 when bootmgfw.efi and/or grub.cfg are updated. I turned the above into a script which I only have to run once every several months when W11 updates its bootmgfw.efi file. Given the non-permanent nature of the above solution, is there a better solution? Note that after weeks of researching this problem, I came across a solution suggested by "Piotr" a few years ago to reset Windows "{bootmgr}" to \EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi, but that didn't work. Windows had no idea about \EFI\fedora...

I am facing while dual-booting Windows and Fedora on my system. I have Fedora installed on an external SSD and Windows on the laptop's internal SSD. Every time I start my laptop, it directly boots into Windows. If I want to boot into Fedora manually, I have to press the esc button (I have a HP Pavillion laptop) while the laptop is loading to go to the boot menu, then start the UEFI-Fedora boot option, which then opens the Grub menu to choose Fedora. This is a very annoying issue, and I have tried almost all possible ways from YouTube, but they are not working and the Windows boot manager is opening by default. Please help me solve this problem.

I have 2 OSs on my laptop: Windows 7 on its own NTFS partition and Debian Jessie on its own ext4 partition. I also have a separate NTFS partition for my data which is shared between OSs. In Debian my data partition is mounted automatically after boot using this line in /etc/fstab: UUID=4E2831122830FA93 /media/data ntfs defaults,permissions 0 0 I need "permissions" here to be able to grant ownership of some folders and files to my user account (which doesn't have administrator's rights). Note that some time ago it was with "ntfs-3g", not "ntfs". I made this change hoping to solve the problem, but it didn't helped. So, the problem is: When I open Windows, I do not have permissions to use any file in the folder for which I have changed permissions from root to my account in Debian. I always get "access denied". Note that my account on Windows have administrator's rights. In the properties of the folder I have troubles with, I can see that it is set to deny access for everyone. I tried to remove this setting and got "access denied" again. And I still can't access my files from Windows. I also see the setting to allow full control to "S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462843383-12000". And the owner of the folder is "Account Unknown(S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462843383-12000)" I need to find a way to give the proper rights to my Windows account. How can I tell Debian that my accounts on Windows and Linux are of the same person and the two accounts are both owners? I would be very happy to get help. Thank you in advance!

I'm using dual boot Windows 11 and Fyde OS. On my bootloader screen there are 3 other boot options which are not any OS, they are EFI and recovery partition. I want only Windows and Fyde OS boot logo on my bootloader screen. The boot manager is rEFInd boot manager which got installed automatically with Fyde OS. I also have Linux environment installed on Fyde OS.

Running RDP on my Win10 box against my Raspbian distro on an R4 with xrdp. My keyboard layout was not corresponding to my Norwegian keyboard. I followed the advice in https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/99085/save-setxkbmap-settings to get the keyboard (Norwegian). setxkbmap no in a terminal fixes it. I also followed the advice and added that to ~/profile. Problem is my keyboard layout seems to be reset when the connection is broken (for what ever reason, network glitch, rebooting router after fiddling with some settings etc) or simply being inactive for a while even without the connection being broken. Any takers? Quick question. What's the difference between setxkbmap no and setxkbmap -layout no? Both seems to do the trick but both suffers from the same lack of permanency.

I've tried everything mentioned on the answers mentioned in the following post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/255509/bluetooth-pairing-on-dual-boot-of-windows-linux-mint-ubuntu-stop-having-to-p But I've made no progress. A few details about my system: Keyboard: Logitech K380 (Bluetooth) Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal Windows 10 (Latest edition as of writing this post) After changing my keys in linux to the ones from windows, the keyboard connects for a fraction of a second, before disconnecting, and I'm unable to understand why. My keyboard has 3 profiles that I can switch from and I tried all combinations of profile choice in windows and linux. I've spent quite a few hours on this and any help would be appreciated. Please let me know if I am missing any details that might help.

NMAKE by Microsoft comes with some components of Visual Studio. Is it POSIX-compliant?

I have a ~500gb hard drive that I intend to split 50/50 for Windows 10 and Linux Mint 17. The Windows partition is 232GB and the Linux partition is, at the moment, uncreated. When I run Mint off my pen drive and go to install it, it shows the hard drive as 500gb of 'free space'. I can't install because it will wipe my Windows install. How can I get the partition to show in Mint?

My Linux desktop runs parallel Windows 7. I found some solutions to fix errors, examples: restart computer, or re-install Cinnamon (sudo apt-get install --reinstall cinnamon cinnamon-screensaver cinnamon-session cinnamon-session-common cinnamon-settings-daemon libcinnamon-control-center1 libcinnamon-menu-3-0 mint-meta-cinnamon),... but not working. What do I have to do? Is there any solutions that do not recovery system or I do not need to delete all data? If you want to know anything, do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you so much.

When a logical NTFS partition is mounted on Linux using NTFS-3g + "permission" mounting option + UserMapping, I often found that "execution" permission of the same file may be different on Windows or Linux. E.g. an binary executed by "Peng Cheng" on Linux will look like this on Windows: It appears that a blanket "Deny" permission was added by the NTFS-3g driver to block all execution, even by the owner of the file. This behaviour is triggered regardless of "acl" mounting option or other options What can I do to disable this behaviour?

A couple years ago I set up a computer build with an ASUS motherboard for running POP! OS. Then, shortly afterward, I purchased a second hard drive, and I installed windows on it for a dual-boot, using windows bootloader. The problem, now, is the Windows drive got broken, and when I try to boot to just the POP! OS installation the only option to boot to in the BIOS is windows boot manager, and when I boot to it I get a blue screen, and some options, but no matter what option I choose, they all just reboot the system and repeat the process. I am wondering is there a way I can revert to a normal boot using just the POP! OS grub as it was before? Someone else on this forum had a similar issue: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/688253/windows-breaks-bootloader-in-dual-boot-with-pop-os but their problem is currently unresolved. Any help is appreciated!

My question may be weird. I want to know if there is some virtual machine that lets me install Windows 7 under Linux and lets Windows use, as a virtual device, the same device that is really installed in my physical PC. I need to do that, because of a lot of Adobe software that I need for work and I can't switch to other software (even if I'd like to). Maybe what I need could be something even simpler, like letting the virtual machine see the graphics card I have to get the full compatibility with the Adobe software and the OpenGL and DirectX drivers. Actually I use VirtualBox to run Windows, and Fedora is my main OS. The hardware that I need to share is as follows: ⠀CPU - Intel Core i7 990x (even only a subset of all the cores) ⠀GPU - Nvidia Quadro 2000

I was using windows and tried to install nixos on my external hard drive. After some problems with partitioning the drive stopped being bootable. I want to erase the drive and continue using it but windows does not let me do anything with it because it is read only now. Is there any way to reset it?

I bought a brand new 4TB Western Digital Blue HDD, which is connected to my NAS running Debian via usb with an external HDD enclosure. I used the following commands to setup the drive: (parted) mklabel gpt (parted) mkpart primary 0% 100% sudo mkfs.exfat -n 4tbBackup /dev/sdc It seemed to work okay on the Linux machine, but when I plugged it into my Windows PC, it showed up under Disk Management as an unallocated 2048GB partition and another unallocated partition with the rest of the disk on it. I tried switching to gdisk, and it immediately gave me this error: GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.6 Warning: Partition table header claims that the size of partition table entries is 0 bytes, but this program supports only 128-byte entries. Adjusting accordingly, but partition table may be garbage. Caution: invalid main GPT header, but valid backup; regenerating main header from backup!
