Re: Exxos's PiStorm blog

I've found the option to restore images in Paragon now. Was easier before they totally changed the GUI ! Not sure what will happen when the SD runs out of sectors. I guess it will just moan and fail. But at that point, its probably blank sectors on the SD image anyway. I can set the stop sectors, bu...

Re: Exxos's PiStorm blog

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that should be /dev/sdd. Perhaps that's where your previous image restore attempt was going wrong? I was using the pi imager thing in windows before. PS: screenie also says is's mounted. You don't want it mounted when you're writing to it at the block level. Well, I don't kn...

Re: Exxos's PiStorm blog

I don't think that'll work -- that's /dev/sdd1 -- first partiion on sdd. You'll likely want (I'm guessing, but seems reasonable from the size of the image) the whole block device -- /dev/sdd in this case (without the 1). Don't nuke your main hard disc, BTW. That's possibly /dev/sda or similar. That...

Re: exxos's linux mint install blog

I just read back in my old comments of this thread... I must be a fortune teller I can't remember why I went for plasma, probably seemed easier and the best choice for me at the time. But if they are not developing it much.. it was kinda pointless choosing it then. I've had the same with desktop th...

Re: exxos's linux mint install blog

One post said I need to enable systemd. Seems that's done in the grub boot menu. Did that. Still didn't work. sudo systemctl status rc-local ● rc-local.service - /etc/rc.local Compatibility Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service; enabled-runtime; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /usr/l...

Re: Exxos's PiStorm blog

Just a warning, it'll take a long time (perhaps up to an hour) and you'll get no feedback on the command line until it's finished. It be fine. I'm doing my offsite backups today and that's taking hours. I can rest my hands a bit :) Still not maxing out my Ryzen 7 5700X :lol: :roll: Capture.PNG EDIT...
