This community will be moving to lemmy.zip

!linuxquestions@lemmy.zip Hello all, As you might be aware, lemmy.world has gotten rather large. It is so large infact that when it goes down it takes a large portion of content with it. I don't know about you but I personally don't like the idea of all lemmy activity happening on one instance. Because of this I have made the decision to move this community to a place that is smaller.

How do I get started using btrfs snapshots?

I'm using btrfs for the first time along with default Fedora Workstation. I want to setup incremental snapshots in case of something goes wrong while tweaking my system. Or just be able to take a snapshot right before making a major change. I'm not sure how to get started. When I look up guide, most of them feel a bit too advanced.

why do most non-gnu distros, like chimera and major BSD variants, use elftoolchain instead of the LLVM tools?

Often the LLVM tools (llvm-ar, llvm-strip, etc) are already installed by default, so why include 2 sets of binary utilities?

Multiple Polkit errors on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed make the network unusable

On login, or when NetworkManager is restarted, an error message from PolicyKit 1 pops up: ``` System policy prevents enabling or disabling device statistics An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action. Password for root: ____ OK | Cancel ``` Call this Message 1. On attempting to turn Airplane Mode on/off, two more messages pop up in sequence. ``` System policy prevents enabling or disabling Wi-Fi devices An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action. Password for root: ____ OK | Cancel ``` ``` System policy prevents enabling or disabling mobile broadband devices An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action. Password for root: ____ OK | Cancel ``` Call these Messages 2A and 2B. On attempting to connect to Wi-Fi, another message pops up. ``` System policy prevents control of network connections An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action. Password for root: ____ OK | Cancel ``` Call this Message 3. Nothing happens (visibly) when message 1 is cancelled. When messages 2A and 2B are cancelled, airplane mode cannot be switched. Message 3 appears after I enter the Wi-Fi password. When message 3 is cancelled, Wi-Fi does not connect, and a notification appears. ``` Failed to add Network_SSID Not authorized to control networking. ``` I have modified 2 files in /etc/polkit-1. ::: spoiler /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-allow-network-manager.pkla ``` [Network Manager all Users] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.* ResultAny=no ResultActive=yes ::: ::: spoiler /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules ``` polkit.addRule(function(action,subject) { if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.") == 0 && subject.isInGroup("network")) { return polkit.Result.YES; } }); ``` ::: My user is in the "network" group. After making these modifications, messages 2A and 2B will still appear, but airplane mode will switch if they are cancelled. Messages 1 and 3 still appear. I am on an Acer laptop, with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and KDE. What is the cause of this, and how can I fix it?

5.1 sound on Linux Mint

How do I map my motherboard audio ports to all be 5.1 line-out? I'm trying to fully make the switch from Windows to Linux on my gaming desktop. I've messed around with it on my laptop for quite a while. One of the main things holding me back is configuring the 3.5 audio ports on my motherboard. I have 5.1 surround speakers with 3 3.5mm jacks for center/sub, front and rear speakers. The jacks it uses by default are line-in, line-out and mic. In Widows it automatically detects and changes the ports to all be the correct line-in ports, formally I could use the realtek panel to map them manually. I can't seem to find any option in Mint to do that.

Just got a new laptop, what's the best method to check if it's hardware is compatible with a distro?

I managed to get an ok deal on a Lenovo Legion slim 5 with the ryzen 5 7640hs and Geforce rtx 4050. My experience with Lenovo's on Linux in the past has been kind of mixed, is there a good way to check all the hardware for levels of compatibility?

For thosewhoo have proxmox and docker in there homelab, how many docker containers do you assign to a VM?

I'm moving from lxc to docker but I'm torn on how many docker containers I should assign to a VM. I want to have modularity if something goes wrong but having more VM adds overhead

Firefox produces a crackling sound in Mint lemmy.world

On my Mint installation, Firefox running causes my sound to crackle. If I try the same site (say, Odysee) in Midori or Chromium, everything is normal while Firefox isn't running, but with Odysee playing, if I so much as open Firefox and let it sit on the landing page, my sound will begin to crackle until I decide to close it, at which time it quits in a few seconds. It also sounds like crap when I try to send Firefox to Odysee. It’s the same for if I send it to another site, like YouTube or Pandora, as well as finding videos on r/BreathOfTheWild via Reddit.
