  • OK. So simply reading what was readable wouldn't have helped. Thanks.

  • So you need to build from source, as I don't see a prebuild version for RISC-V on their Github-page. As your system probably is supposed to be slim, you can try cross building from source on another computer. But if you are interested in doing that, please ask in a separate post, as I've never done that.

  • What kind of system do you have? I assumed it was a small RPi like device.

  • Yes, you need to specify the path where it should be mounted to. I proposed using /mnt.

  • Wasn't the problem that it the backdoor was not present in the source code on GitHub, but was in the source tarball? So as long as one reads the code that one actually builds from should be fine.

  • That depends on how you have mounted the device, as this is usually not done automatically. As I understand, your system doesn't have a desktop environment. So the you need to search e.g. the output of sudo dmesg after plugging in the USB stick, there should appear s.th. like /dev/sdb1 or alike. Then you can mount the partition e.g. to /mnt directory

     
        
    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
    
    
      

    You anyway can check the output of mount (without arguments) if and where the device was mounted successfully.

    You later can safely unmount the USB stick by

     
        
    sudo umount /dev/sdb1
    
      

  • Cool. Thank you. I haven't looked into the changelog ever. Obviously this works for quite a while now (~2017?) without moving the deb-file to /var/cache/apt/archives/.

  • The kernel alone has more than 30,000,000 LOC. Alone reading would take forever and a day for a single person, let alone understand it.

  • So, as I understand you, you've got a copy of tic80-v1.1-linux.deb on a USB stick and want to install this.

    After you've mounted the USB-drive, cd to the directory where the downloaded deb-package is located. Then run

     
        
    sudo dpkg -i tic80-v1.1-linux.deb
    sudo apt -f install
    
    
      

    to install the package and missing dependencies.

  • Like "see-age-own"? I'd pronounce it "ch-(like in change)-own".

  • They don't explain it in the text, but in the research article the data is probably taken from. Basically it's recycled vs. virgin Lithium.

  • There are two specific problems I see here for the mentioned binaries.

    1. The software is packaged as a generic archive, no format like rpm or deb the system package manager could/does handle. Thus, the package manager of your system does neither know that you've installed this binary nor what it depends on. The developer could have at least mentioned on which exact system the Linux binaries are supposed to work, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04, so that the user knows, that they might have issues running it on a different system.
    2. The developer could have built and packed it in a way that it can be installed by the package manager of a specific distribution. Launchpad or OBS are made for this purpose. The other option, wrapping it as a flatpak, works too, but may bloat the system of the user as different versions of the same libraries are installed (system generic + flatpak version).

    Nonetheless, as a Linux user, you are encouraged to build directly from source.

  • Online voting is free of charge. Apparently it costs e.g. 0,20 € from Germany and 0,99 € from a non EBU or not participating country.

  • It depends on the distro which release is installed and available. So certainly the problem is, the required and installed glibc library do not match.

  • It may be remarked that ReactOS is not unix-like, but a Windows NT clone.

  • When I had the issue with mariadb demon been killed, I think either in dmesg or syslog there was an entry reading "Out of memory: Kill process... " or similar.

  • In principle any DAV client should work. On Android, I use DAVx5 and Tasks.org to access my Nextcloud. On Thunderbird + Lightning, you can e.g. use SOGo connector or TbSync to use the address books, calendars and tasks.

  • I don't know about Fedora, but Debian keeps at least the previous version. However, that's about it. There remain only 4 (2 normal + 2 recovery) GRUB entries and the additional ones vanish automatically during the uninstallation procedure.

  • I wouldn't recommend it for a noob, but the setup process isn't too complicated either. Its benefit is definitely its stability and long update period, the downside is that some software might be a bit outdated, but today, however, one can get fresh versions, of e.g. Inkscape or GIMP, as flatpak.
