    How do I enable the serial console in desktop 23.10? [Solved]

    I have a lot of experience with Linux, but not much with Ubuntu, however I have a project that needs Ubuntu in the cloud. I can't use the marketplace images because I need an application that requires a GUI to authenticate against a remote server before I upload it. I was able to create a vhd...

    No secure boot for Arch?

    I was surprised to find out that Arch does not support Secure boot. This is easy to turn off if you are installing this on a host computer. This is harder to turn off, if you are installing this on a VM under KVM/QEMU or VirtualBox. It's all or none, so if you already have some VMs with secure...

    Secure boot prevents nvidia driver install?

    I have two linux systems with Nvidia GeForce cards in them. Fedora39 and Arch 24.03.01. Ever since the 6.6.x kernels, my nvidia drivers have failed to install. Not a real big deal, it just falls back to Nouveau. I figured I would research it later. I have secure boot enabled on both distro's...

    Become a disk/filesystem guru

    You can do just about all of this in a GUI program like gparted. If you like GUI's, by all means use these programs. But sometimes, GUI's are not an option. If you have to something on a remote Linux system, ssh is often the only access you have. While using gparted can make things easier...

    Become a systemd guru

    Most Linux's up until about the 2011-2012 time line used something called sysV init. Some people call it rc or rc.d init. But about this time most of the major distro's started moving over to something called systemd. Fedora was the first, and then the same year Debian and Ubuntu joined in...

    AMD AM5 Motherboard Graphics Options

    I recently bought a new AMD AM5 motherboard, of course I have to get a AM5 CPU as well. In this case, I bought a Ryzen7800X3D. It is an APU with a built in graphics card. The specs for the GPU aren't anything to write home about. 256MB. It's even slower than a Radeon RX570. But for word...

    Tweaking audio in Linux

    I have mentioned in a couple of other posts that I'm usually not a fan of the onboard audio on most motherboards these days. But for the purpose of this article, that doesn't matter too much. No matter what audio setup you have, hopefully this article will help. First, if you do have multiple...

    Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus

    I recently bought a Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus internal sound card. I had a dual boot system, because I didn't know how well this would work with Linux. It turns out that it works great. At least with 6.6.9 kernel. Possibly older kernels as well. This a great upgrade to my on-board sound...

    Sound

    Most of what I'm talking about relates to any OS. ( Windows, Mac, BSD, or even ... Linux ) Most PCs come with something called an Aux output. This gets a little bit tricky. My main PC for example, has pink, green and blue 3.5mm ( sometimes called 1/8 mini audio jack ) Auxillary ports on the...

    Linux Kernels

    Recently, someone in another thread asked... Why update your Linux kernel? If it ain't broke, why fix it? I actually like that, and usually I feel the same way. But in this case, what does "broke" mean? On one hand, my computer is working, so that means nothing is "broke" right? But on the...

    https://fedoramagazine.org/introducing-fedora-asahi-remix-39/ It even supports OpenGL 3.1 on Apple Video Cards. I helped a friend install this today, it wasn't bad at all. You can install it from MacOS. Both Gnome and KDE support Wayland. The Wifi, the video, the sound, the USB ports, it all...

    KDE desktop time

    I mostly use Budgie and MATE, but I recently installed KDE on this system. It's not bad, I'm getting used to it. But down in the bottom right hand corner it shows the date and time. The date is correct. However the time never updates. It shows the time I booted up the computer and never...
