The failure to finish booting occurred after i did a system update after not doing so for several months. OS was <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SparkyLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SparkyLinux</span></a> Testing / semi-rolling. Afaict, whatever caused the damage did a pretty good job:</p><ul><li>the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/bootloader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bootloader</span></a> had vaporised</li><li>the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LUKS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LUKS</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encryption</span></a> seems to have been damaged [even booting from a Live usb stick couldn't unlock the drive, my LUKS pswd being rejected despite absolutely certainly being correct]; it accepts my LUKS password during boot, then says "Slot 0 opened", then... just sits there, evermore. Sigh. </li></ul><p>I considered trying to repair the bootloader via a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/chroot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chroot</span></a>, but even if that succeeded i frankly had little appetite to then do battle with a sulky LUKS. This pc is a very old clunker, spinning rust HDDs only, merely 8 GB RAM, i7 though old model, &amp; i'd repurposed it to be my lounge-room media pc several months ago without bothering to change anything about its extant OS... &amp; tbh Sparky had been wearing a bit thin on me anyway for a coupla months in this role. </p><p>So i decided not to bother attempting repairs, &amp; instead make a clean break with an alternative distro that i feel should be just about ideal for this use as a media pc, whose only function is to run a browser, &amp; my VPN app, for my nightly movies &amp; shows streaming. As such, i really just don't wanna be arsed with running updates on it often, &amp; generally mollycoddling it like i do with my <em>real</em> pooter [<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Plasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plasma</span></a>]... i just want it to live happily in the darkness of my timber cabinet, asking little of me re upkeep, &amp; just purring away. </p><p>Thus, it now has <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LMDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LMDE</span></a> 6.

Es läd gerade noch, um bei den bald folgenden Änderungen hin zu CalyxOS vollen Akku zu haben. <br>Ich habe mit einer Anleitung für ein Umgehen der Aktivierung der Google Dienste schon mal die Einrichtung abgeschlossen und mir das mal angesehen. Wirklich ein tolles Handy, so vom Aussehen und von der Haptik her. Display ist auch ok (finde nicht, dass es zu schwach ist, habe das als Kritikpunkt immer wieder gelesen). <br>Aber: Abzüglich der paar wenigen essentiellen Apps zum Telefonieren usw ist wirklich alles voll mit Google Apps. Insgesamt 31 Apps, wenn man die wenigen essentiellen dann abzieht, sind es wohl bestimmt 25 Apps direkt von Google. Das ist echt mega viel und echt kacke. </p><p>!! Frage: Falls noch irgendwer wichtige Tipps hat, damit das Installieren von CalyxOS gut verläuft, bitte jetzt! <br>Spezielle Frage zum <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Bootloader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bootloader</span></a>: <br>Habe gelesen, dass man am Ende den Bootloader nicht schließen muss, um später nochmal ein anderes OS aufspielen zu können. Stimmt das so? Oder ist das nicht so gut?</p>

Lanie Carmelo<p>Still running into <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> installation issues. I've gotten almost everything done, but I'me having trouble installing a <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/bootloader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bootloader</span></a>. I want to use systemd-boot. I'm using <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/vmware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vmware</span></a> workstation. Everything I've read says there should be boot options in the <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/vm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vm</span></a> settings where I can set it to either <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/BIOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BIOS</span></a> or <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/EUFI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EUFI</span></a>, but that's not there, so I added a couple lines to the .vmx file to make it use EUFI. Everything went well until I went to set up systemd-boot. I have no efi directory under /sys/firmware, so I can't do it. Anyone seen anything like this?<br><a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/techSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>techSupport</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/LinuxHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxHelp</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/VirtualMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VirtualMachine</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/VirtualMachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VirtualMachines</span></a></p>
