SethStorm666 oh nice WP, share please?

ibm450 · Jul 29, 2024

did u add workgroup/samba into your credentials file?

credentials

username=tolga
domain=workgroup
password=xxxxxx

i also add 777 into my mount options, i dont care, im the only one using it:

fstab

# -------------------------------------------------- #
# Server mount points
# -------------------------------------------------- #
//192.168.0.14/documents/TEST /mnt/Mint21-Doc cifs credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

sudo eopkg it cifs-utils
sudo chmod 600 /etc/samba/credentials
sudo chown root:root /etc/samba/credentials
 sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo mount -a

if your using the gnome version u may have to manually add the mount point manually, gnome is poor in this compared to kde: obviously change to suit
echo "file:///mnt/MINT Documents" >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks

nautilus -q

personal alias:
alias tolga-samba='echo "Restarting Samba" -- sleep 2 && sudo systemctl enable smb.service nmb.service && sudo systemctl restart smb.service nmb.service'
alias tolga-solus='sudo mount -a && sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger && sudo sysctl --system'

Ok.. found and interesting issue. The latest update/kernel is causing my laptop to run HOT when viewing YouTube or running a vm

Wow I have nvidia gt1030 on pascal architecture so I'll be interested to join in on the testing team especially when nvidia 560 drivers come out with full open source compatibility

how to install the nvidia cuda libraries and packages in solus please

Ok, these are the steps taken

sudo clr-boot-manager mount-boot

cd /boot/loader

sudo gedit loader.conf

added console-mode max into the loader.conf

so it looks like this:

timeout 3
console-mode max
default Solus-current-6.8.12-293.conf

saved and exit. i didnt execute sudo clr-boot-manager update as that wipes out the extra enteries in loader.conf

At reboot, i got the full resoultion on the systemD boot?

Your thoughts on how to keep this permanent ?

Quick access:

alias boot="sudo clr-boot-manager mount-boot && cd /boot/loader && sudo gedit loader.conf"

console-mode options:

console-mode max
console-mode auto
console-mode 0
console-mode 1
console-mode 2
console-mode keep

Add, if not already, into your environment or bashrc.

I add these into my NixOS, fedora and now, solus and it does help

So did it work

Whats your favourite kernel parm's

Didnt work, and followed as per to the instructions:

sudo clr-boot-manager mount-boot
sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/
sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/loader/entries
sudo clr-boot-manager list-kernels
ls /usr/lib/kernel
ls /lib/modules

sudo nano /boot/efi/loader/entries/solus-current.conf

Hi all
I implemented the following as I didn't like the restriction of choosing or accessing my bios at boot:

sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 3
sudo clr-boot-manager update

My question is, just like in NixOS in the boot loader configuration, you can set the console mode to max. How can a similar configuration be applied to the clr Linux kernel or its corresponding grub entry?

I've managed to disable mitigations by setting the kernel parameter successfully, but achieving maximum resolution for the console (systemD) remains elusive

Example like mine in my NixOS:

https://github.com/tolgaerok/nixos-2405-gnome/blob/8817bc75f9617300a771d1b4d5cac39502b6be35/core/boot/efi/efi.nix#L29

Thanks for the link I used the documentations before

ibm450 · Jan 6, 2024

Hey everyone,

I've been a dedicated Fedora and NixOS user, but recently, I decided to try something different and went for good old Solus KDE. The last time I used Solus was when Ikey was the main developer. He did some amazing things not only for Linux Mint back in the day but also for SolusOS in its early stages.

I'm genuinely impressed with the Intel optimizations and tweaks that have gone into this project. However, I can't say the same about its package manager.

Now, here's my question: How and where can I get Fortune and Lolcat to install on Solus? Any guidance would be appreciated!
