  • Help changing mount point in Cachyos

    Jump

  • Since the drives are being mounted in /run/media they’re probably being mounted by your file manager, not via /etc/fstab. You could instead have them mounted on boot by the root user via /etc/fstab (the classic way) or systemd.mount (slightly friendlier),

    This is where I'm stuck. I read that changing the mount via fstab requires the UUID, which I can see with lsblk -f. But /etc/fstab has the same UUID for every drive, I have no idea what to do with it. As it is the 3 internal sata drives don't auto mount (even though they're selected in settings) and require a password to mount, and revert pemissions after reboot. I read it's due to /run but I'm stuck.

    The permission issue is probably for a different reason. Are you sure the filesystem(s) you’re mounting supports POSIX style permissions? FAT doesn’t, and NTFS requires a special flag for it. The files might look like they have permissions, but they’re coming from the mount options and modifying them will either fail outright or not do anything.

    They're NTFS. I just switched from Ubuntu Studio to Cachyos and they worked fine with mounting and permissions on Studio. Studio had them mounted in /media, took me a while to find that they were under /run/media on Cachy.

  • It's not shitty, and not quite the same but Rare Exports is on my yearly Xmas horror watchlist. The short film is about how Santa Clauses exist in the wild as a feral species and are captured and trained by trained hunters to be monetised and sold for Christmas.

    The full film (2010) is about the discovery of the first, true Santa buried in the ice in Norway, and his elves swarm to protect him.

  • Agreed on all points. I'll add that for me the film felt unfinished. There was no reason for anyone to be helping him, yet they do. Literally everything that keeps Richards alive is through sheer luck, usually randomly finding the right people to help him.

    Most egregiously, the old movie adage of "show don't tell" is thrown out the window. It really felt like they made the movie with the expectation that anyone watching it would be on their phones for most of it.

    I'm a big Edgar Wright fan but in my opinion he was a terrible choice for this one.

  • Ubuntu Studio 24.04.LTS has been freezing and unresponsive. Issue with ProtonVPN Beta?

  • OK! So I must have rebooted more than I remembered. Going back to -4 gave me the errors from the first freeze today:

    Going back to -2 I got the errors prior to the second freeze:

    Just want to say how much I appreciate you taking the time, I'm learning a lot with this, thank you.

    Edit: Looks like it may be related to memory issues OOM? I did install something regarding oom awhile back but I don't remember what it was. I'm seeing nohang recommended tho

    Edit 2: I check my running services, the other one was earlyoom. I've removed earlyoom and installed nohang. Hope I'm on the right track.

  • For the log? I just opened syslog in /var/log. Running journalctl -b -1 -p 3 only goes back to around 14:10, right after booting from the last freeze. dmesg just spits out a ton of the same UFW BLOCK entries, usb connections and such, and only one error that says usb 1-2.4.1.1.3: clock source 41 is not valid, cannot use (I have no idea if this is new or just always was). The first freeze happened yesterday morning, frozen sometime overnight when I wasn't even using the PC, but I didn't know about logs or anything so had no idea what to check.

    The ports are whichever port is currently active in ProtonVPN's port forwarding.

    I saw another Lemmy post earlier about task managers and installed glances earlier this morning. Unfortunately it wasn't running at the first freeze but was at the second, and didn't look like anything was amiss to me. I have had issues in the past though with running too many things at once, like a browser with open tabs, music player, and video editor at the same time eating RAM like crazy. I've since created a swap file and I can't remember the other thing, but it's meant to shut down the most memory hungry app before things get sluggish.

    This type of freezing up is new though, nothing works, and I've left it for hours with no change. Previous freezes from eating RAM resulted in a slow moving cursor and resolved in about 20 mins. I also made a lot of adjustments for audio recording months ago that I'd really rather not reinstall the OS and lose, mostly since I'm new to Linux and don't remember how I got it working haha.

    CPU temp seems to stay pretty constant around 45-48 degrees.

  • Should have mentioned I included the last log entry from when I got it back up. The clock froze at 11:09:55, 22 seconds after the kernel log entry. I booted back up at 11:32.

  • Had an issue with an update and had no networl access after reboot. How many kernals can be available in grub?

    Jump

  • Huh, I certainly don't want to cause more issues haha. I've got timeshift setup now so hopefully if it or similar happens again and I can't get it running the kernel way I can just use that. Thanks.

  • Blister packs aren't a problem, they save lives. In a moment of weakness it's easy to grab a handful of pills from a bottle. Often by the time a few pills are removed from a blister pack the desire to continue diminishes. Pain in the ass? Sure. Problem? Nope.

  • Weekly thread - What movies have you watched this week? 12/11/2025

    Jump

  • Del Toro's Frankentein (2025): I thought it was pretty good and beautifully shot. Then I realised it was sticking with me for a few days, which doesn't happen with movies often anymore. Gonna give it a month or two then do a rewatch.

    V for Vendetta (2006): Haven't watched it in about 15 years, and it was honestly a hard watch as things have changed. It's no longer 'possible alternate future' as much as 'near current present'. Honestly there wasn't much about it that was fantastical anymore, came out of it a bit depressed and angry.

    The Beldham (2025): Standard 'direct to video' horror schlock. Completely fine for what it is.

  • We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.

    Jump

  • Is that a thing? I'm in Canada and I've never seen a duplex sell as a single house. If you could find it that would be a pretty sweet deal

  • What show did you stop watching because it felt like a chore to finish?

    Jump

  • Same, shortly after Negan. I was hate-watching it every week. Once I realized I was only watching weekly so I didn't have to watch two episodes in a row I quit it.

    That's just buying two houses to rent one though

  • This has been a really interesting post. After going through all the amazing films I've become hopeful (probably unrealistically) that with the prevalence of not only CGI but now "AI", we may just get lucky enough to see a practical effect renaissance. There's a charm and soul in practical effects that's lacking in CGI, and completely missing in AI.

  • Check out the M4 fan edit. I recommend this at every opportunity haha. They cut down the entire extended trilogy into a 4 hour film, covering only the events in The Hobbit novel. One of the many adjustments they make is colour correction, which really helps with the "unfinished" feel you're talking about. It's incredibly well done, and aside from a few janky cuts is the definitive version of The Hobbit movies imo.
