Was going to say this, the cables are messed up

I mean, you want to go hard ball: our attorney general is who actually fired the prime minister and he was a CIA plant.

Recently had a similar issue with Via, the app for keyboards. Basically, there was an issue with chrome talking to the hardware…Except some lifesaver recommended plugging my keyboard directly into my machine, bypassing the docking station (the thing causing me issues) and fixing my problem. So I’ve technically still never had a driver issue, only a shitty docking station experience.

OpenVAS is a vulnerability scanner. Metasploit is a penetration testing framework.

First one does what OP wants. Second one less so, and is more hands on.

See dirbuster for automated dumb searching of web directories, gives you response codes to tell you if a page is accessible to the outside world. See nuclei which I haven’t used myself but seems to get good reviews for automated vuln scanning from the command line - has nice output and seems simple to use.

They’re both easy to use and install on something like Kali Linux.

But on the horizon, surrounding the shoppers, came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers

This you?

So we’re bashing the people who installed Linux now if they used something else first? What, if they’ve ever used windows we should send them to the Gulag? Wtf is this take? Like hey you dumb fucking person who finally figured out how to get away from the corporate software you were taught to use in high school, you are FuCkInG iGnOrAnT for putting yourself in this position in the first place!!1!

Let’s not talk about the multi billion dollar industry spent locking people into an ecosystem from day 1, because blaming high schoolers and teenagers for not switching to an OS best know for running web servers is an awesome use of our time.

Speaking from experience: no one thinks about operating systems as much as we do. We are not the norm. Most people don’t want to use the computer to begin with, but conceded its faster than hand writing everything. The guy who paved my driveway will never install Arch, because he only uses the computer to get paid. My office’s cleaner doesn’t understand how computers can even be unsafe.

When I went to primary school we had windows computers. Same thing in high school. In uni, because I did comp sci, I used Linux and found it was better for me. 350 people went through first year with me. Most of them continued using Windows, although a good chunk used Mac too. Like 10 of us used Linux. It is easier not to switch and that’s not going to change. So can we stop having a go at people for not having the same interests as us, because that’s the only difference.

Huh, my favourite part of using C and C++ was the ease of doing it all on Linux. Didn’t even need to install a compiler, just write code, run compile and laugh my way through endless segfaults because I am very bad at those languages

Ask a new user, the unsurprising answer is “ez pleazee”.

Hey, you’re also heading the right way for a ban… Not liking Linux on Lemmy smh

sudo nala upgrade

I play PlateUp with a friend, we started on remote play while I wasnt sure if I liked the game. It had issues where if the window lost focus, I’d crash and the entire game session was lost. Anyway, I bought the game and have never had any issues since. Its super fun!

Highly recommend this wargame challenge from over the wire. It makes you think and also feels like hacking. Youre just using linux commands to find passwords but the skills transfer to heaps of usage across systems. It can be a little beginner-ish though.

Thought something was weird here. The contrast and colour is making it difficult. If you turn up shadows it changes the entire feeling, including where the obvious light source is. I wouldn’t expect the dark side of the mattress unless there was a bright light directly above it.

Also the banister/handrail arm wouldn’t be horizontal. Most importantly, congrats, you got me invested.

Can the propaganda have more pixels next time please and thank you, how am I meant to understand the wishes of glorious leader if I can’t even make out the words?

Little confused by the second link. It’s not about Draiman, its just one of the band members saying assassinating trump wouldnt do the US any favours (I somewhat agree for different reasons, killing him would have started civil war 2 most likely).

In case you missed it/didn’t think of it, there’s a rather notorious tweet about student loans (unless he deleted it) that rubbed me the wrong way so I’d use that instead personally. He basically said “you took out a loan, pay it back” which ignores all the context for those who got one.

Plus there’s the fact their lyrics in the last album seem very “can’t we all just get along” and tends to trivialise many of the issues in the US right now. It’s this idea of “if we all just talked we’d see we have common ground” bullshit like no one has had a real conversation in the last 25 years cos they’re all on their phones etc.

Boot: Yes, the windows boot drive (an old 128GB SATA SSD), but I hit F11 on boot adn selected USB to boot to that to do the install just like with Pop. But again the install worked fine at least on the older LTS version of Ubuntu. And it booted on USB correctly with the later version too, just as soon as it went graphical it b0rked.

So do you get a grub menu at all? Is there the Plymouth (green, grey and white text only) loading screen? What does booting look like? I need more detail here because I’ve had driver issues and this is sounding more like a boot issue. Would it be possible to remove other hard drives during a test installation then add them back afterwards? Totally understand work and life comes first and all but if you get the opportunity, I’ve got a hunch.

I’m thinking we need a matrix chat or something to send images and details on lol

Okay, so I’m assuming with Pop you used the nvidia driver edition which meant it loaded using that. It’s possible that Ubuntu tried using nouveau and failed to work I guess but I think I need to know more. Tell me about how you are connected to your monitor. Display port or hdmi? Do you have a docking station?

Were both installs using Wayland, xorg or dont know?

It’s interesting that Pop installed and showed everything but Ubuntus later version didn’t because Pop is based on Ubuntu and theoretically has most of the same drivers. I’ve experienced it not working exactly the same before but yeah, that’s odd.

Does your computer use secure boot and was it on at the time you tried installing Pop, and Ubuntu?

Was anything above the usb in the boot priority during the Ubuntu installation? If the screen was unresponsive and the device rebooted using Ctrl,Alt,Del then how do you know that was ubuntu?

Do you have a spare device such as a laptop around with an Ethernet port?

What other distros have you tried and have you ever used Linux Mint? It’s my GOTO for anyone new to linux (including myself).

Sorry that’s a lot of questions but I think more information could be very useful.

I’m curious what OSs and what issues you had. If you want, make a post in a Linux community and reply with the link here. I’d be keen to see where I’m at in helping others with Linux drivers since I just had some issues I resolved. I want to move my grandpa’s computer to Linux when Win10 runs out so it could be a practice opportunity.

I’m sorry your team is like that, they should do better. I get along with my company IT team, obviously working close with them has benefits, but we have a lot of oversight and executive support so giving two word answers isn’t a thing where I work, they have to give a written justification etc.

In the same sense that not everyone works where I do, not everyone has assholes in IT who deny everything. Neither of our experiences are default and I was trying to write for someone in-between. Apologies if it didn’t come across that way.

There are businesses who don’t allow spotify on the corporate device, for sure. I saw a talk delivered by a guy who did. He worked for a mining company, they wouldn’t let people install things and were inundated with policy violations. He had to change the entire company culture around who IT were, and started by letting people make install requests for apps they wanted to use. They just tracked the requests so they knew who had what, and by helping, they could be selective about where the software came from.

When people don’t have IT as a support and see them as a regulator, they don’t work with them and bad shit happens. This dudes mining company was hit, also with ransomware (this one worked), because the CFO had local admin since he didn’t want to talk to IT.

My point is

• a. they should be helping in this instance. Sorry they don’t, that’s frustrating to hear. Work culture is hard to change and I’m lucky with where I do work and the culture we have.

• b. don’t bypass security controls regardless. Sorry. It’s still not the answer. If work makes you do things a slower or more annoying way, that’s their time lost. HR will throw you under the bus for the policy violation.
