Hmm, I don't know why this happen. Sometimes, after mounting my PSP's storage to my computer and pasting stuff to it (usually via GUI) it has the risk of becoming a read-only filesystem, no matter how many times I plug and replug, it'll be readonly

As soon as I connect my PSP to my windows partition, the system becomes writable again.

Also sometimes files won't show up either, doing "ls" will say "os error 5". Doesn't happen on windows either.

#LinuxQuestion If I decide to switch to linux given that I'm able to do the techy things but only with specific instructions that I usually search for as I go when i do techy things, where should I start? Is there a reliable and mobile friendly site I could reference via my smart phone as I worked or would I need to print out solid instructions that would get me from A to Z so I can get my laptop switched & back online to learn how to set up bluetooth connections?

Ok can anyone help me access this optical drive please?

So, eh. Does anybody know a program for Linux where you could bind keyboard presses to mouse clicks on specific screen coordinates? I want to bind W,A,S,D and such for a phone game that I scrcpy to linux...

#LinuxQuestion: I’m running #TimeShift for the first time. I’m saving the #snapshot to a USB hard drive. It’s been running for over 12 hours. It seems to be stuck because the backup isn’t getting any larger now. How long can it take to make the first snapshot?

Also, it’s impossible to kill the timeshift #rsync processes. I’ve run it several times and had to force reboot the computer to start over. I’m trying to upgrade to a newer version of #LinuxMint.

I'm trying to install Linux on my Mac mini (Late 2012). I am using an Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse. I don't have access to a wired keyboard. I have tried Mint but it doesn't pickup the keyboard or mouse. Is there a Linux that will work with this? The mac mini is running slow and I want to try Linux. #linux #linuxquestion

#LinuxQuestion in there a way to send video through a HDMI port without making it part of the windowing system?

I'm trying to play XCOM2, which I bought on GOG a few years back, but I can't run it via Lutris or Gamehub. Let's see if I have success with Heroic Launcher. If I can't, I'll have to try Bottles.

Anyone ever ran XCOM2, the Windows edition, successfully outside of Steam?

Linux question:
When I right click on a file go properties and go permissions.

What determines if the "Allow executing file as program" box is checked or not ?

Oftentimes programs I want to execute don't have it checked and today I noticed that a bunch of random video files I got from a Windows user have it checked.

Is there a tool in the #coreutils (or otherwise already integrated in #Linux per default) to reverse identifying symlinks? I mean in a way to show me a file with all the symlinks linking to that one. Any reccomendations? 🤔

I have a test question that I can't figure out. Any suggestions gratefully received...

"Alter the init boot sequence so that the ​rc.local​ or
boot.local​ script (depending on the distribution that you have
selected) is executed at boot time."

#Linuxquestion:
Is there a handy and safe way to write-protect specific files from being updated via #PPA apt? I have modified some (*.php) files on a software and don't want, that they will be overwritten by package updates. Somebody out there with an idea for a "Linux-beginner"?
