Can't boot Clonezilla image from Surface Go 1 to Acer Apire 5737z
  • Since you're using btrfs, there is likely another subfolder under /mnt. ll /mnt will tell you this, but the drive isn't still mounted from the other day. When you're mounting the EFI partition, you're going to want to mount it to that folder, and not /mnt itself (/mnt/root/boot/efi, instead of /mnt/boot/efi) same for the binds (/dev, /proc, /run, etc)

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • “While we are making this change to ensure users’ expectations regarding a community’s access do not suddenly change, protest is allowed on Reddit,” writes Nestler. “We want to hear from you when you think Reddit is making decisions that are not in your communities’ best interests. But if a protest crosses the line into harming redditors and Reddit, we’ll step in.”

    Yall have very clearly demonstrated that you do not care about the communities best interest, and you have no interest in hearing what we think. Fuck Spez and good riddance to reddit

  • Apologies, I think I got a bit ahead of myself in the description.
    Once you've determined which partition is which (in your case, /dev/sda1 does appear to be the EFI partition, and /dev/sda3 appears to be your root partition), you need to mount them in this order

    mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi

  • That's alright, I'll do my best to walk you through it.

    Your drive contains multiple partitions (/dev/sda1 through /dev/sda3).
    One of these drives is going to be your EFI partition. This is what your system can read before linux boots, your BIOS can't understand ext4 / btrfs / etc, but it can understand fat32.
    If you run lsblk -no FSTYPE /dev/sda1 it should return vfat if that's your EFI partition. That's what we're going to mount to /mnt/boot/efi

    I'm assuming that /dev/sda3 is your data partition, e.g. where your linux install is. You can find the filesystem format the same way as your EFI partition. Edit: After determining which partition is which, you're going to want to mount the root partition, and then the EFI partition
    mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi

    Unix systems have theology of "everything is a file", all devices and system interfaces are mounted as files. As such, to be able to properly chroot into an offline install, we need to make binds from our running system to the offline system. That's what's achieved by running for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
    This is just a simple loop that mounts /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, and /run to your offline install. You're going to want to either add /sys/firmware/efi/efivars to that list, or mount it (with -B, which is shorthand for --bind, not a normal mount).

    Once you've done this, you should be able to successfully chroot into /mnt (or /mnt/root if running btrfs)
    At this point, you should be able to run your grub repair commands.

  • I'm doing my morning scroll before I start my day, so I can't delve too deep, but this is the article I always reference when I have to do repairs

    https://askubuntu.com/a/831241

    #1 thing I noticed in your image is that lsblk only shows you partitions, and doesn't mount them. You probably want /dev/sda3 mounted at /mnt

    The only thing from the article you want to modify is using mount -B /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /mnt/sys/efi/efivars, I believe the functionality changed since that article was written and that's what worked for me

    Additionally, if you drive is formatted as btrfs instead of ext4, once you mount your drive your root will most likely be at /mnt/admin or similar. Mount subdirectories to that folder instead of /mnt

    If you have questions lmk and I'll get back to you at some point today

  • Share your stories
  • No, that was one of our main books. This was something pretty obscure, I've never seen anyone mention it and I don't really remember any more details than that off the top of my head

  • Share your stories
  • I was behind in my literature class in like, 7th grade. The books were boring as hell and I couldn't make myself read the chapters at night.

    Our teacher gave us a list of bonus titles to catch up for like, 1.5x the points of a normal book, so I jumped on the first one on the list.

    I don't remember the title of the book unfortunately, but about one or two chapters or so, the either the main character or their neighbor or something...

    Gruesome

    ...snaps the head of their cat off while petting it

    Proceeded to put the book down and hand it back into the teacher and ask for a different one. I don't think she was aware of the content of the book

  • there's a new "zen" Firefox fork on the block focused on theming and has some features from Edge, all licensed under MPL
  • This got me to finally move away from Edge. Only thing I'm wishing comes soon is native PWA support. The addon is so janky and my biggest gripe about using Firefox, but I can put up with it since I've now got vertical tabs and multiple profiles

    Does anybody have good experiences with Lenovo's warranty?

    Edit: Conclusion at the bottom

    I just sent my ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 in for service the other day, it hasn't yet reached the depot but I'm worried after seeing reviews online about Lenovo's customer service. I know people are definitely more likely to write a review if they have a bad experience than a good one.

    The repair is just for the TrackPoint, which hasn't been really up to the old ThinkPads I've had (T23, T43, T61, T410, T460) and had recently stopped going to the right entirely. TrackPoints are the only reason I still buy ThinkPads and not something like a framework (and I don't think I can go back to non 2-in-1 laptop after this last one)

    I also took the NVMe drive out and swapped it with one that had a fresh install of windows 11 on it so that I could use my data while it was sent in. Will they refuse to work on it if they have a non oem drive inside?

    AFTER REPAIR EDIT: Just got it back from the warranty center! Instead of replacing just the TrackPoint module, they replaced the whole top cover & TrackPad (I did mention that it was having similar issues to them). Came with the factory plastic on it. They didn't try to short-change me in any way, didn't try to argue that it was normal or that it was wear and tear or anything like that. It works better they day it was new, and all of the scuffs that I had on the corners are now gone (so is my intel sticker but I can live with that).

    In regards to the SSD being out, they didn't say anything or refuse service because of it. I was up front that I had been inside the device before I had sent it in, so YMMV, but all in all 10/10 experience

    How long do updates take?

    Started an update for a minor version and it's been like 20 minutes and I have no display out from the nas and I can't access it over the network. This is the first update I've done on the system how long does this usually take and when should I try rebooting it?
