1 • Mandrake (by Sasi on 2023-01-30 02:52:35 GMT from India)
Tried OpenMandriva (GNOME) a couple of weeks back. Am not quite impressed with the overall performance. After so much of research I 'm now settled with Calculate Linux CLD - a complete distro in all aspects, rock solid, pleasing look, built with wonderful tool for package management / system maintenance activities thru Calculate Console. It has a very friendly installer.
2 • opensnitch (by tomposter on 2023-01-30 03:33:18 GMT from United States)
From Jesse Smith's 12/6/21 review of OpenSnitch... while I was running Linux Mint, some programs sent out signals to Canonical servers which appears to be used for connectivity checks and/or getting a count of how many users are on-line. You might be interested in seeing how many programs are phoning home or pinging remote servers in an effort to count users or check for news updates.
Why doesn't everybody want to know about the software that is phoning home? What is the downside? Seems like many non-tech consumer-users would be interested too. What am I overlooking?
3 • OpenSnitch is what we need! (by Jack Tripper on 2023-01-30 04:08:54 GMT from Netherlands)
I'm so overjoyed OpenSnitch will soon be in the Debian repos.
Now if only we had some quality, up-to-date and well developed/polished rootkit detector. I'm sorry but both rkhunter and chkrootkit are just not enough.
4 • OpenSnitch (by Jay on 2023-01-30 04:22:25 GMT from Germany)
@3: What OpenSnitch does for machines, Safings' Portmaster does for networks.
5 • SMART (by Andy Figueroa on 2023-01-30 05:23:09 GMT from United States)
I use SMART tools, but primarily as a daemon (smartd).
6 • Device and filesystem checks (by AdamB on 2023-01-30 05:48:13 GMT from Australia)
I ticked "I use a filesystem that self-checks data" because i use Btrfs or ZFS on some of my more essential machines.
I use Smartctl occasionally; I should probably use it more regularly. I presume that it is irrelevant on a machine which only has an SSD.
I use 'fsck' fairly frequently, though not regularly. A couple of my machines have a second distro installed which I can boot into for the purpose of doing thorough testing of the partitions used by the main distro (using 'fsck' or 'btrfs scrub').
This Opinion Poll has inspired me to start a 'zpool scrub' on my ZFS pool - I cannot remember at the moment whether I have done this in the past.
7 • checking file systems and devices (by Dr.J on 2023-01-30 08:33:35 GMT from Germany)
Archlinux automatically runs fsck on every boot; for all devices entered in fstab (unless this is excluded in the fstab entry).
smartctl is run as a cron job once a month. From time to time I also let the Samsung magician run detailed tests manually.
8 • Mandriva (by Romane on 2023-01-30 10:11:41 GMT from Australia)
Did try "Rome" a couple of weeks back. Unlike the reviewer above, the desktop never crashed on me once, and Calamares behaved itself as it should.
Still, though I liked what I saw, it was wiped from my computer after about 20 minutes. Went away, screen locked and this horrid message came up about screen locker being broken, and directing me to take certain action to be able to get back into the desktop. Bye bye Rome. If it don't work, don't ship it.
9 • OpenMandriva ROME (by mnrv-ovrf-year-c on 2023-01-30 10:17:48 GMT from Puerto Rico)
I'm sorry the reviewer of this distro had many problems even with starting it. But my problem was different: the system was unable to recognize its own repositories. I installed successfully about a day after I saw the news of ROME on this site. Chose it with GNOME -- yes although I despise that D.E. Otherwise with the reviewer's computer much superior in specs to mine, I can't understand why that computer had Calamares crashing even once or the problems with log-in. It sucks when a distro with different D.E. behaves like two different ones from different developers. It looks like ROME is a bit rough around the edges yet.
10 • Opensnitch (by Barnaby on 2023-01-30 15:13:37 GMT from United Kingdom)
Sounds like ZoneAlarm, a great user end firewall for Windows back in the 98/2000Pro days.
It's a good concept and I'm looking forward to using it. What took so long to have something like this for Linux?
11 • Calamares and Mandriva (by Barnaby on 2023-01-30 15:39:45 GMT from United Kingdom)
Calamares is buggy. I tried to install a fully encrypted Artix recently and booting failed as cryptsetup could not find the key. Will not use it anymore. The antiX/ MX Linux installer works much better.
An ftp client is usually the first thing I install to access my personal 'cloud' server. Sure, you can do it in a file manager these days but my experience says transactions are slower. And the traditional interface of Filezilla is just so convenient.
12 • OPENMANDRIVA 'ROME' (by Albert on 2023-01-30 16:21:34 GMT from United States)
A few days ago I tested OpenMandriva 'Rome' and encountered none of the inconveniencies that regretfully Jesse had to face. This does not mean that the experience was perfect though.
I have two PC's and can connect to wifi through Realtek RTL8192eu and Broadcom BCM4360. Due to the popularity of Debian and its derivatives (among them Ubuntu and its own derivatives too) I could easily find tutorials on the Web to make this wifi connection possible. However, as OpenMandriva is less widely adopted by people I could not find any help in order to connect to the wifi. I only had Ethernet. As a rule I discard any OS with which I cannot access wifi.
One more thing, I must agree with Jesse on the (poor, particular, etc.) organization of OpenMandriva OS. There were some procedures that were clearly redundant.
13 • OpenMandriva 'Rome' and Opensnitch (by artytux on 2023-01-30 23:51:55 GMT from Australia)
After many many years of rolling releases with the constant maintenance at least every second or third update cycle had to finally go back to a static distros and very happy, yep some apps are oldish but they work without crashing.
If your going to tell me how the rolling distro you use never has problems - well good on you
Just remember not all machines run the same hardware.
OpenMandriva Rome gave it a try on spare machine, had the similar experience as Jesse, that did it staying on static distros plenty of choice so no problem !
Maybe it's because of we are using Intel hardware ?.
possible is it ?
Opensnitch seems it's unfortunately needed these days.
14 • Checking the health of storage devices and filesystems (by ANN ONAMOUSE on 2023-01-31 00:13:41 GMT from United States)
While I haven't checked the health of storage devices for a long, long time and I am aware of various utilities to do so in the Linux ecosytem, one that immediately pops to mind which is, I believe, superior, but also for a slightly different purpose than just telling about the health of a drive, is Steve Gibson's SpinRite (https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm)
It is a stand-alone program that not only will check and advise on the health of the drive and filesystem itself, but can help to recover and fix issues not found by other programs. It is beyond the scope of the question to go into all the details, but I would be remiss to not advise that I find it superior in that the last time I used it many years ago, it was able to detect and fix a few problems that other programs could not and were I to believe other programs, the disk or thumb-drive in question would have been thrown out as broken or beyond economic repair.
Steve is working on the newest iteration and it has been something like a decade or more since his last re-write. Such is the strength of his coding - he simply writes programs that just work.
15 • disk or filesystem checking tools (by Simon Plaistowe on 2023-01-31 00:23:51 GMT from New Zealand)
Although I answered "SMART tools" in the poll, I reckon I use all those methods at various times on different machines. Mostly it depends upon what info I want, from which filesystem & the capabilities of the hardware (eg: I have several USB drives but only one of them accepts SMART).
16 • OpenSnitch (by Simon Plaistowe on 2023-01-31 00:30:36 GMT from New Zealand)
I've been using OpenSnitch on several Linux Mint machines for a long time now. It works well and I've never had any problems with it, although I do have to upgrade it manually whenever a new version is released. It would be great to see it in the Ubuntu repositories. Maybe that will happen now that Debian's adopting it.
17 • Health of NVMe drives under Linux (by Ben Myers on 2023-01-31 04:45:51 GMT from United States)
I boot Linux Mint live using it as a hardware diagnostic, when I have a client's computer that won't boot up. I like to look at the SMART data for a drive to see if it has any bad sectors and to assess overall drive health, This works well for SATA drives, both old-time spinning hard drives and SSDs. But so far, the Linux distros I have tried are unable to display SMART data for NVMe SSDs. The owner of smartmontools needs to confront this issue and solve the problem, which is apparently caused by different port structures with NVMe. Lacking this feature makes any Linux an imperfect diagnostic and I have to resort to Windows programs.
18 • Disk Checking (by penguinx86 on 2023-01-31 06:36:13 GMT from United States)
I'm a big fan of ext4 and fsck. Why? Because it just works and it's easy to recover from problems on just about any Linux distro. Keep it simple! Most of the time S.M.A.R.T. errors require firmware updates from SSD manufacturers to fix problems. I had one SSD that required me to make a bootable floppy disk with Free DOS and boot from it to install a firmware update. Totally lame, but it did fix the S.M.A.R.T. error problem.
19 • HDD Check (by Guido on 2023-02-01 01:11:48 GMT from Philippines)
I can only highly recommend every reader to regularly check the condition of the hard drives and also to make backups.
Another program that runs under Linux is hdsentinel.
On Arch Linux in the AUR. There is also a GUI for it.
20 • Rolling Mandriva Descendants (by M.Z. on 2023-02-01 23:32:52 GMT from United States)
I've tried a few Mandriva descendants & use Mageia as one of my main distros. The thing about OpenMandriva last time I tried it was that it was very slow on the same hardware that other KDE distros were reasonably responsive on. It doesn't sound like much has changed now, except that they are releasing a new version that tries to directly compete with PCLinuxOS as a rolling distro & is doing a bad job of it so far. I actually ran PCLOS for about 5 years and had fairy few issues with it. I take no real issue with the freedom to duplicate the efforts of others, though I do find this case a bit odd, give that there is such a direct & obvious competitor in this space doing such a solid job. So far it looks like it'll be a good while before they get anything competitive.
21 • Disk Checking (by Vukota on 2023-02-02 22:41:09 GMT from Serbia)
Even though I am aware of the tools to check HD health and I do it from time to time, I don't do it on a regular base (unless I suspect problems with HD).
22 • to test or not to test... (by tom joad on 2023-02-03 17:15:35 GMT from Netherlands)
A very interesting question and one that I had not thought about. And it is a critical question in that our data is on those drives.
I do test my drives from time to time. Mostly I test them after they begin offer indications that they may be failing. No, that is not a good plan but I think most folks do it that way.
One reason for the lax testing, on my part, of storage devices is I make daily backups of my data. Andi I make backup on other devices too. Having backups on a failing drive is not good. I use cloud storage (what a silly term that is!) for that. I use that for my laptop. My tower has removable drives to back up to but I also use cloud storage there too. I like Timeshift, too, and always have it use on all my computers. That is invaluable and has save my *** more that once.
Is is possible to put Timeshift backups in cloud storage? I will look into that. Maybe Jesse has a thought or two on that idea...Jesse?
So I guess this question sh!
ould be a heads up to all of us.
23 • Mandriva (by GreginNC on 2023-02-03 18:06:33 GMT from United States)
I sad to hear Mandriva is still in sad state. Up until 2010 it was one of my goto distros. Sadly in 2010 all that changed with the system working fine at installation but breaking on first update. The first time it happened I went to the forum and was told by a dev that it was my fault and that I had downloaded the "wrong" ISO and needed to download a different one. After that I tried it again every year or so with the same result, Unusable system after first update. After several years of this happening I washed my hands of Mandriva, but still have good memories of what it once was.
24 • Timeshift (by Jesse on 2023-02-03 20:48:38 GMT from Canada)
@22: "Is is possible to put Timeshift backups in cloud storage? I will look into that. Maybe Jesse has a thought or two on that idea...Jesse?"
Timeshift is just a front-end to Btrfs snapshots and rsync copies. If you're using Timeshift as a front-end to rsync, then you're just making copies of files to a new location and there is nothing tricky about also sending those files to cloud storage.
The same basically applies to Btrfs snapshots. You can browse Btrfs snapshots and sync the files just like any other files. Fedora Magazine has a nice example of this: https://fedoramagazine.org/working-with-btrfs-snapshots/
Basically, the answer is yes. You can put files snapshotted by Timeshift in cloud storage the same way you would put any files in cloud storage. You don't need to do anything special, as long as you know where the snapshot is located.
