I run proxy through RPi3b+ that is installed in another country. I want to open a port on RPi that is being used by qbittorent on main machine which is 6881. Is there any way to do it?

I have used ufw enable 6881/tcp but it seems not to work. And I tried miniupnp but it fails to ind IGD which must be there cause router does have UPnP tailscale port open automatically. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey,

I'm looking for a tablet to put linux on and use it for nothing but writing and drawing. And I don't mean running linux/bsd on top of whatever OS the tablet ships with, I mean completely replacing it.

I'm sure this has been done before, and there should be resources for specific devices, but search engines don't really wanna spit those out at me :(

So I just want to find the smallest and cheapest where the process is doable and somewhat decently documented.

Thank you for any and all help!

Hi,

So, after doing all kinds of research I figured qobuz is the least evil streaming service and the only one I'd be willing to use.

However, after trying it, I realised that they don't allow VPNs. Often it doesn't recognize the IPs as a VPN, but for some servers it does.

So, since I could get locked out at any time, this isn't a long-term solution for me.

I'm thinking of self-hosting. But then there's no recommendations. And if I hear anything I like, I need to find the stuff as well, which is gonna be tricky the more obscure it is. I can't afford to buy more than maybe two albums a month. And often it's just individual songs I want.

Do I need to drop the luxury of recommendation radio and easy access to nearly every song I like?

This is probably simple to solve but I cant understand it at all

I'm trying to get my Gamesir T4n Lite controller to work on the PCSX2 emulator to no avail. It works with Steam just fine, but all it says I'm connected to is a keyboard and mouse. It has it's own dongle for Bluetooth, my system doesn't have Bluetooth built in. I'm using Ubuntu 24. I have downloaded xpad and xpadneo drivers, I've done the joystick test, everything. The computer seems fine, all looks well. It's just that the PCSX2 emulator won't pick it up for some reason. If anyone has any way to fix this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

first im not good at linux i chose mint cuz i just want it to work
on my main machine the mic produces just random noise
while on my secondary one the mic works no problem
basically every detail on my device is available on the linux mint forum
altho i posted this due to it being almost 3 months and a thousand views without comments so i decided to comment it here

after recent testing it seems like it is a hardware issue and not a os, bios, dependency, ect issue

where the mic doesnt pick up anything and produces usb noise

(the mic isnt the problem as it works on my phone and my secondary machine)

If I have a dlcument in word or any other office application, I often want to export that to pdf and share it with someone. When I "export as pdf" the file, it works almost instantly, but it takes several minutes before the pdf becomes visible in ly filesystem. Why does it take so long for the pdf to show up, eventhougj it has been created sucvesfully.

The process of creating the pdf even ends with the pdf being opened in my pdfviewer.

I know microsoft sucks, but I'm bound to it for reasons. So I'd like to understand why it su ks this time.

With the recent news about discord asking for face or ID scan, what other alternatives are there that we can recommend to our less tech-savvy friends?

Need some advice.

I've been consistently upgrading my old desktop for a long time now; knowing full well that someday it would just not be uppgradable anymore and it wouuld hit it's upper limit.

I'm hoping it's not doing it now, right when computer memory is getting ridiculous. And I don't have the money for a new one.

A couple of days back, My mouse (any mouse) would move in fits and starts. It takes a split second to start moving, and when it does, it's already on the other side of the screen.

This SEEMS to be related to oncee every second, my CPU is "Spiking"; jumping from 40 to 50% to 0-5% ever second like clockwork. I don't know if one is causing the other, just that they correlate to each other. Typing is similar effected; it'll hiccup every second or so.

System Monitor shows nothing unsual. The majority of the resource usage is from Wayland (I'm on Manjaro), with nothing else taking up resources.

Any advvice on what kind of reports I can run to get a sense of what'ss happening, hardware wise?

I've rolled back the most recent update to no effect. I booted up a USB stick version, and had the same problem. So I'm sure it's a hardware issue. I tried various mice and keyboarrds, various dongles, etc... I suspect a power supply issue, but I don't want to spend the money on a new 750 watt PSU without confirming it. And the only other PSU I have in my house right now isn't powerful enough to boot all the hardware I've got installed.

Help please. This desktop is where most oof my work is accomplished (video editing, graphic dessign and 3D modelling) which is completely impossibel with a jerky mouse.

I bought a Samsung Odyssey G9 and Nvidia 5070ti about a month ago. Monitor came first, works great. A week and a half later, I get the GPU. Case is 1mm too small for GPU, so I buy a new case (great start). Now my video (DisplayPort) and audio (USB to an interface) output drops, regardless of activity, then my fans ramp up. Then only solution I've found is a manual restart.

My PSU was almost a decade old anyway, so I bought a new one just to rule that out (again, great). Event Viewer and Reliability Monitor show kernel errors related to Nvidia drivers. So I switched from the standard driver to Studio to rule that out, same result. So I updated my mobo BIOS, same result. At that point I felt comfortable calling the GPU somewhat defective and returned it (had to pay for shipping, $171, again great). Replacement GPU arrived yesterday, and my outputs just dropped again and needed a manual restart. This time I'm not seeing any error codes however. I'm losing my mind, I really need help from a tech wizard.

So I jailbroke an iPod Touch 4G I bought off of eBay, and it works except for wear and tear and the battery saying it's dead but then restarting and turning back on despite it being "dead". So battery issues but nonetheless functions.

Anyway, I've tried MomentumDev's site, iPhone OS Obscura's site, and even Veteris itself, but it just shows the app icon "waiting" and not installing. How do I fix this? It also says Veteris is down and "cannot connect to server".

Hi, so I want to use my sister's old iPhone 6S to mess around with and to jailbreak, but apparently the charging port/pins are all messed up and it indicates that the phone needs to be plugged in when it is plugged in and the wire symbol only goes away when I hold down the cord at a certain angle and I don't wanna risk breaking it. Plus, it hurts my fingers to do so. I also have 16 year old devices that don't do this and charge fine.

I have a router with a fresh install of Fresh Tomato so none of the settings have been changed yet. The Samba server is on the other side of the access point.

It seems like it should be as simple as making the following alterations in the Network tab:

WAN0 Settings

Type: DHCP -> Disable

LAN

IP address 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.0.2, DHCP -> Disable

Default Gateway 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.0.1, Static DNS 0.0.0.0 -> 192.168.0.1

On my other server I would set the Fresh Tomato router as a static IP address.

Whenever I make all these alterations and click save computers connected to the Fresh Tomato router become disconnected from the internet and I can no longer seem to access the router. I've had to reset it.

Is there something I am missing?

Hello

I got a banana pi r3, and I want to connect some devices to it and have them accessible to my home network as well. The devices will be connected to the ethernet ports the system identifies as lan0 to lan3. Th e wan port is connected t my router.

I want to be able to connect to the banana pi from my network using a static ip, and I also want that any device connected to it in the lan ports gets an ip from my router's dhcp and be accessible to the network as well. Is it possible? What would be the simplest way to do it?

The system image I'm running in the banana pi is a debian image that used systemd-networkd. So far, I've been a coupe of days trying everyhting in that /etc/systemd/network directory, trying to bridge the lan0 and the wan networks (I don't even know if that's what I really need, but it's the closest I found), but I only manage to lock me out from ssh access messing it up. The information on the internet seems to be growing scarce, and I found nothing helpful.

Got hit with 3 of these yesterday.

Three HP ZBook Ultra G1a's all updated to Windows 11 25H2 yesterday and refused to progress past the boot screen.

The workaround patch for this issue is to long press the power button until it does a full reset, (20 seconds or so) and then get into the bios, note that when you reconnect to power you should also connect a USB to Ethernet adapter.

This worked on 2 of the 3 affected devices I have.

On the third one, the only way to get into bios was to crack open the laptop, pull the battery, long press power for 20+ seconds, then reconnect.

Either way, once it lets you into the bios, go to Update System Bios > Check HP.Com for BIOS updates. When you select this, the laptop goes black and reboots.

You will then need to repeat the same process you used to get into the bios to get into the bios again, only this time it will tell you it needs to disable BDE if you have bitlocker enabled. Then it will allow you to roll back the bios to 1.03.11.

Do so.

Once the rollback is completed the laptop will boot normally.

I have reported this issue to HP Support, but wanted to share in case anyone else is dealing with the same issue.

If it had only been 1 device I wouldn't have cared, but for 3 to get hit with the exact same issue at the exact same time when the exact same update with the exact same bios was applied, I figured that it would be useful for more people to know about it.

Hopefully this is somewhat helpful!

I'm an elder millennial. Distrustful of technology, but conversant.

I need to back everything up to PC. I just need an actual human to tell me which app to pick, and maybe an anecdote. The rest on my end I'm fine with.

This is something I have already posted in both LOS groups and no fix so far, coming here. Here's the copy-paste of the post I made prior, plus an update at the end for clarification.

-( So, here we go again. The first time I had an issue was because of a scam card. Now, I have a real SD card. Problem: I have been trying to move music and photos to it to keep on my new device (Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 / milanf) and when I insert it into my phone it says "Issue with SD card." And it wants me to set it up. However, when I plug it into a computer it's totally fine. I can't find any answers online, and the only other issue I saw similar was someone using a Xiaomi device running LOS 17. I didn't have the issue on my phone until the most recent LOS 23 update on the 8th of Jan. What do I do to resolve this? I don't want to have to carry multiple devices with me, for the time being, to access certain photos or music.

• edit: I neglected to add this detail. It has been formatted by the Lineage device, but the issue persists.)

I have been able to move music over after it's been formatted by the phone and that seems to be fine, but when I insert the SD card into my old Samsung Note 10 Plus and then download all the pictures and videos I have I then reinsert it into my LOS phone and it says the SD card is corrupted. I didn't have this issue until the latest update and I don't know what to do to fix it. Nothing is wrong with the card, I'm at my wits end. I have been dealing with this for a month. Please help.

Context:

I am running EndeavourOS on my X200S that has Libreboot. I have one drive that is encrypted. A while ago I had issues with my system not booting at all and had to switch to the Linux LTS kernel. I ran sudo pacman -Syu recently and after rebooting I've consistently had this issue.

So far I've tried:

• Reinstalling the linux-lts and linux-lts-headers packages and running mkinitcpio -P. This seems like the typical fix for only being able to boot in intramfs.

• Switching GRUB to loglevel 7 and when trying to boot normally it seems to get stuck on "timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/UUID/the UUID of EndeavourOS". The messages afterwards are about dependencies failing like /sysroot and United Root File System. From what I could find online this seemed like an issue with my drives being mounted so I tried regenerating fstab with genfstab -U -p / >> /etc/root.

Does anyone have an idea of where things went wrong?

This was not visible when I got this monitor. I’ve used it for about a week with no issues and today I see this. It looks like the display has a hole in it or something and I can see what’s beneath. This is visible with the display off. When it’s on I can still see this area lighting up as expected but looks slightly distorted but doesn’t seem like a dead or stuck pixel. Is there any way I can fix this? I ran pixel cleaning and it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

I recently got a new phone, and it has a quick access bar that pops up during certain actions (I think mostly when switching apps). It has a search button, the access to apps like camera, browser, phone, messages, settings.

How do I disable it?

Edit: I have worked out I can long press then I see an option to "Always show taskbar", so I haven't worked out how to hide it but I guess it's called the "taskbar", though this is different to the normal go back, go home, app switch task bar.

It started from the left side of the screen to toe right and I don't know how to fix it (if it can even be fixed)

On this mander account, in the standard web client. The front page loads as expected. Clicking next generates the next page URL, but posts do not load in; grey boxes where post information should be and an endless wait. Refreshing and reloading does not fix. Changing from all to local/subscribed feed does not fix. Logging out does fix, but then I'm not logged in.

Edit: Bug persists across devices, phone, pc and boox tablet, and both windows and ubuntu. Suggests server/account-specific issue?

I had a similar (identical) problem for a while on a feddit.org account, but it has since resolved to normal expected behavior without any input on my part.

It's annoying.

Please advise.

The symptom: the mouse becomes somewhat unresponsive. The cursor still moves. If you have a window focused, it still receives keystrokes and can launch other things. But the window manager (fvwm3) doesn't seem to be aware of what the mouse is doing; it won't pop up menus or do the "focus follows mouse" behaviour it normally does.

You can sometimes restore responsiveness by killing one of the Fvwm modules (FvwmButtons, FvwmIconMan), or getting the window that has focus to close. These tend to be sort of chicken-egg since the issue appears a few seconds after login so you don't necessarily have an xterm launched and receiving focus.

You can also get control back reliably by switching out of the current VT and back (Control-Alt-F1/Control-Alt-F7)

It mostly happens shortly after the first login on a fresh boot. (Log out and back in and it doesn't trigger). I think there have been a few times it happened in other scenarios.

It seems to happen on both Devuan Excalibur and Void (current). The impacted machine is a home-built desktop with a Radeon 6900XT and two monitors (one 1440p/120Hz, one 4k xrandr'd-down to 1440p/60Hz) and two trackballs.

I don't think it happens on my other machine (a Thinkpad L13 Gen3 running Devuan Excalibur, with just the one 1200p touchscreen, Trackpoint and touchpad) but its config is different in a few ways (not loading some items I don't use there), so there's not an obvious single differentiator.

I think I also saw some similar weirdness in Fluxbox; the menu would come up but wouldn't acknowledge clicks on items. In that case, I was able to navigate the menu with keystrokes to restart the window manager and regain control.

I don't see anything obvious in dmesg, either.
