this version removes the error returned when fin is given without an arguement. when fin is now given without an arguement, it returns the list of finished tasks. # mkdir -p ~/todo/do ~/todo/done # add this code to your .bashrc # type 'todo taskname' at the prompt to add a task # type 'fin taskname'...

Those wishing to install a later version of grub2 can use a debian installer. This procedure creates a "net" install of Debian to a partition and then installs grub-2.06 to the /boot of that partition. you can then relocate the EFI dir and then repurpose the partition for whatever your nee...

I work differently than the typical Linux user I am not sure what the typical linux user does, but I suspect many here like to tweak and tinker with their hardware, OS and installed programs. One should always duplicate the problem with the application as it is downloaded, in an unmodified version ...

if setting up a new disk or USB, you might consider trying to turn off everything in the bios associated with UEFI and installing grub4dos or another mbr only bootloader. this does not mean that you cannot have a small fat32 partition at the beginning of the drive in case you want to try a UEFI boot...

It sure would be nice if I could see some sort of log that mentions exactly how it is failing.

geo_c nice additions. the original code, not being supplied as a standalone script, but rather added to .bashrc had a simple simplicity of not needing any options like for instance, todo -a for adding a task and todo-r for removing a task. But just how much code do you want in .bashrc? If todo is t...

are you using a password manager or using the new Tbird with an older save?

If you set up your account and server info from scratch with the new install, there is a lot of little misconfigs that can prevent logon.
there should be a log file somewhere that you can find and post the last few lines.

Imagine you work on a file over extended periods of time, repeatedly adding changes and undoing them. Then, at some point you realize: Parts of the changes you undid two hours ago would be very helpful now. And yesterday you had already changed this particular bit, too, before you trashed that desi...

How to load through limine boot loader ? Please enter the boot partition. Files vmlinuz and initrd will be installed here. Note, you can enter same as above; however, the bootloader must be able to recognize a btrfs partition. Recent GRUB2 and rEFInd can handle this, but there may be issues. (ex: s...

Yes, I have read about grub2 having issues with btrfs, and that is warned of in QV Installer. I don't know the history of btrfs and grub2 -- perhaps the issues fixed in latest release of grub2 -- but anyone who has grub already installed in their PC will have an older version. Maybe I should emphas...

using qv-installer to repurpose an existing ext4 partition: the instructions say "the partitions will be wiped" but an error instructed to use the -f option. ( I dont think I did that right) as the output didnt look hopeful, but it worked! and the generated boot stanzas for grub2 also work...

I would like to install QV on separate internal partion of Nvme SSD. However, while trying to format using gparted from easyos, the same is not possible. btrfs option is showing but not live (not turning black/grey) and not able to select ?. Hence not able to format as btrfs. How to proceed with fo...

sda6 is unmounted by the first line, so the second line provides an error but it does not matter. thats understandable, not an issue really, if the frugal install is placed in a qv240403 dir shouldn"t the initrd and vmlinuz be there also? limine is for chainloading? If grub2 has no problem wit...

everything in sda6 example: Please enter the partition to install QV. This may already have a btrfs filesystem; if not,the partition will be wiped and a btrfs filesystem created.

Still researching ways to use dd to duplicate a downloaded img directly into the internal SSD BTRFS partition without having to install to a USB intermediately. Perhaps it's feasible to somehow break the QV download into two images?

edit: this post is superceded by the introduction of qv-installer
