Early signs of SSD failure or a problematic installation? in c/linuxquestions@lemmy.zip
[–] TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

I created a live USB and ran smartctl and it didn't show any issues. I went ahead and reinstalled fedora (the OS was to far gone to repair) and as for all my files they were backed up on my NAS.

Although files disappearing along with core systems files does point to a hardware issue of some kind, typically you wouldn't expect a mainstream Linux distro to have a glaring issue like this. So wether it's something stupid like a dirty contact or it's a failing transistor there's only one way to figure out what's going on here and that's to keep using it.

I'm using half mini PCI instead of sata.

Early signs of SSD failure or a problematic installation? (lemmy.zip)
 

I have been having some issues lately with fedora. This install was pretty reliable and never threw any errors until recently. I also noticed really slow read and write speeds one day. Like 2 times slower then a hard drive. But that went away after some use.

Later that day I updated and it wouldn't boot. Just a blank screen. I was able to Ctrl alt f1 into a login sceen and run dnf and update.

That fixed it.

Then comes the second issue. I was programming and all of a sudden my python file disappeared out of thin air! Which is funny because I remember saving it. So I downloaded a backed up copy from my nas, and it disappeared again.

I figured it was a problem with Kate so I reinstalled it and it worked and saved files without removing them. Then I shut the computer down when I was done and this morning it boots to a blank screen. And the initial fix I did a while ago doesn't work. I'm pretty stumped on it and I did capture some photos.

It gets stuck loading this process

Same here

Then it passes them and tries something else

Then we enter this never ending loop.

So what do you guys think? New install of fedora needed or do I need a new ssd?

OMNI1500LCDT ups LCD and battery surge no power in c/techsupport@lemmy.world
[–] TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe I could hook my bench power supply up to the wires to test it? Although it only goes up to 14.4 volts so if it takes 24vdc I have no way of testing. I could go to the local electronics store and ask for old batteries and get them on the cheap just to test.

My other ups which is an APC will work and pass power even with out a battery. And it's not hot swappable. It will just beep.

This UPS doesn't even do anything, it doesn't even beep. The cables going to the battery don't seem to be pushing any voltage according to my multimeter when I complete the circuit. And it doesn't help the tripplite isn't consumer friendly when it comes to self service.

OMNI1500LCDT ups LCD and battery surge no power (sh.itjust.works)
 

Got this UPS on eBay as a "working unit" long story short it was a scam.

Now the UPS passes power to the normal AC power strip it has. However the battery + AC power outlets don't pass voltage.

I also tested the LCD desplay and its getting a VERY low voltage

Now I am thinking this has something to do with it having no batteries, but that shouldn't be the case, how would it charge if they were to run out of power? Has anybody here had this issue with there UPS?

A repair cafe?? Im not from the EU so I'm not familiar with the customs, but is it like a cafe with tools instead of food? Or is it like a community repair shop where people go to work on stuff?

Edit: I normally would recommend choosing to bike or get rid of a car if OP wasn't about to go broke and cars make for amazing shelter as long as you can maintain them.

I know how to find people, it's in my name. Thus I also know how to make it difficult for me to find you.

Learn to do things yourself. Let me give you a few answers

  • Car oil change: $35 for both the oil and oil filter. Would be a little over $75 if I had a shop do it.
  • compare prices when buying food, same with the amount of food in the container compared to the price.
  • spend in cash, easier to follow a budget if you have physical money in your hand.
  • buy things from the second hand market, my laptop that I use was $1100 MSRP, got it for $750. That's a good deal
  • don't eat out at restaurants
  • eliminate monthly services.
  • fix broken things. I fixed my aunts AC window unit for about $10 with a used run capacitor from eBay. Would have costed a little over $300 for a new one.

There are lots of things I could talk about, and some of these things involve learning a bit, and some time. As someone who was without a job for the entirety of COVID, it forces you to be thrifty.

Unable to flash usb to balena etcher (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello all, I'm trying to flash linux mint to a old thinkpad I'm refurbishing. However, when I go to flash the ISO to the USB, balena etcher throws the following error's

[23381:0729/101159.717484:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times! [23340:0729/101202.577845:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GtkFileChooserNative' to 'GtkWidget' [23340:0729/101205.337371:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: ../gobject/gsignal.c:2777: instance '0x37b801188b20' has no handler with id '5761' [23381:0729/101205.693383:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times!

I would like to note I'm flashing this ISO from my main computer running fedora, and I installed balena etcher from an RPM, (Already tried the app image, but it seems that FUSE is acting up).

Thank you in advance!

Unable to transmit VHF (144.390) on uv-5r. (sh.itjust.works)

Hello y'all, I recently got a cheap uv-5r off of Amazon so I could use APRS in a off the grid location, however I'm encountering a large set of problems with the radio.

First off all, I already tried the 3 finger unlock, doesn't work. Second off, I can program channels into it with chirp, but the radio will only beep if you press ptt. Only channels 1-30 will transmit, however if you change any of it in chirp it seems to revert back to gmrs.

Thanks for any help in advance.

what are your recommendations for a good privacy friendly sms app? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I've already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn't work.

What messangers do you guys/gals recommend?
