Hey yall. I’m new to Linux, and ended up following SomeOrdinaryGamer’s guide for setting up Linux mint 21.3 with the Cinnamon DE. I’ve been really enjoying how easy and usable it is with the exception of *literally anything not included in the software manager app* For example, I tried to download an indie game on itch.io that runs natively on Linux. I follow the instructions on the site which was to extract the folder and simply run the file, but when I do that it asks me what app I want to launch it with. How am I supposed to know? It was a .ags file. I wish I could say this is the only time it’s happened but it’s not. I tried to install openrgb, again it asks me what app I want to open the file with. I have no clue. I’m used to just clicking on applications and having windows open it with whatever makes sense without input from me. What am I missing here? I just don’t understand how your average joe like me is supposed to have all of these things to open up different files on tap without knowing anything about what should be required. Do I need to update my software manager? Do I need to install some packages? I have no idea. I want to continue my overall good experience so far on Linux but this is particularly frustrating since I feel like I’m basically not able to do anything that’s not in the included software manager.

My wife's iPhone randomly stopped working, in the sense of only allowing an internet connection for meta apps (i.e. WhatsApp and Instagram). All other Apps (including settings and safari and even the App Store) couldn't connect to the internet (Wi-Fi and cellular). So we tried everything Turning it off and on again Hard reset (Volume Up, Down and Side button) Backup the iPhone and restore it via the Backup (through Win 11) Reset all together And only with a fresh slate, it started to connect to the internet again. As soon as we load the backup onto the iPhone, it stops working again. Now I wanted to save all of her media (photos & videos) and did it via the method in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YafOzenheLU So my question is: I have two huge folders with all the same files renamed to .jpg and .mp4 and I want to filter for working Photo and Video Files. Is there a quick way to do that, or do I have to go through 100+ folders and check every of the 200+ files in every folder? Tysm in advance!

Hi, as the title states I'm looking for the files to do a bmc update on an old intel s2600cp board. I'm unsure whether it's a cp2 or cp4. Unfortunately it's discontinued by intel and they've only put the BIOS update files on their website. If anyone has them or know where to get them it'd be greatly appreciated. By the by, the reason for me needing the update is that since one of the CPU's are faulty and I've taken it out, the fans are stuck on max speed at all times and I need that fixed, so if ya'll have any other way of fixing that issue I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

Today I transferred a game from a SanDisk external 1TB SSD to my Steam Deck. The folder has the expected size, but as I dig deeper into the filesystem, I get only empty folders. Why is that? The Deck isn’t even a month old and I never changed the m.2 or opened it up. Edit: I realize it doesn’t seem to show any files accept trash, pictures, desktop, etc.

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone, Slight/Big issue at Work, We Rolled out OneDrive backup and the Finance Managers computer has gone a bit silly and looking for a solution So, In the "This PC" you got Desktop, Documents, and Pictures, these are all the things we're creating a backup for through One Drive, the issue is, sometime in the past without us realizing the Finance Manager's "This PC" Documents Folder has turned into his Shared Network P: Drive, so OneDrive when it backed up his " Documents " actually backed up the Shared P: Drive and Took a bunch of documents for storage only on OneDrive, so now no one else in the company can access them, I've tried forcing it to store a Physical Copy of it on his Device hoping it would place them back in the same way it took them, thinking the Documents folder ( that is actually the P: Drive ) and restore it back to normal, but now they're all Solid Green ticked, and still not there >.> If you can please help

Hi, if I choose the upgrade option on WIN 10 installer will it keep my settings and apps like mail and outlook accounts, emails, calendars. I do not have gmail and such so that's why I am asking. And in the calendar app I have pretty crucial informations that I have been writing for more than 4 years. Another question, where can I find my windows calendar and mail files ? Where does Windows store it? And if i can find it somewhere and save it, can I load calendar data into calendar or mail or outlook again? Thanks.

I noticed that if I right click on any file on my W10 PC and click Properties, the Accessed time/date changes to whatever the current date/time is. Why is this? What good is trying to check when a file was last accessed if every time you check it, it's just going to change to whatever the current date/time is? I'm going to check on another PC when I get a chance to see if it's maybe just something with my PC, unless someone can confirm this is how W10 is now, or maybe has always been.

Hey, earlier today I deleted a folder containing 200GB+ of files that ideally I would quite like to keep. I was deleting another file, and did not realise this other folder was selected. Because of its size it did not go into the recycle bin, and due to it being on an SSD it deleted very quickly before I had a chance to react. I have used various free file recovery apps, and decided to buy OnTrack EasyRecovery. It has been able to recover quite a lot of the files, some of which even have metadata (for example, mp3 files having artists etc.) and whilst there are a few 0 Bytes files, most of them seem to have their original file size back. The issue is, none of these files let me open them. For example, I'll open a PSD in Photoshop and it thinks its not a photoshop compatible file, or an mp4 in VLC etc. I'm assuming the files are corrupted somehow, so does anyone know how to fix them? Any suggestions would be appreciated NOTE: I still have the original drive, and have not saved, deleted or done anything to any other files on the drive to stop them from being overwritten.

Hello everyone, I have a 4 TB hard drive that is full of stuff ranging from important documents for work to Google Takeout files to photos I took on an iPod Touch 14 years ago. Up to this point, I have basically shoved everything into the drive into random folders and I think it's time I started organizing everything. Before I spend several weeks going through everything, does anyone have any software suggestions for assisting in this? I know I'll have to go through a lot of it myself, but if there is software that can help cut down the time on this, I'd like to check it out. Basically is there software that will help with the following: Deleting duplicate files Deleting certain types of files (ex. .exe, .aac, or any other obscure file format that I don't plan on using Sorting certain types of files and putting them in folders (ex. JPEGs into a "Pictures" folder, .docs into a "Documents" folder, videos in a "Videos" folder, ect.) Software for organizing photos and videos and putting them in folders I don't mind if it's free or paid software as long as it works. And if you have tips on how to get started on organizing files (and maintaining them), I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. Have a good one!

When I started using Windows PowerToys Run, it warned me while searching that not all files were indexed. I went to Windows Settings and set it to index all files. Even after that, PowerToys still thinks not all files on my computer are indexed. Why?

I own a Honor 9 Lite. The most obvious answer would be USB cable, but it randomly disconnects during transfers, interrupting any operation (I've tried troubleshooting it, like disabling Power management in Device manager, but nothing works). Taking out the SD card is also too much trouble. What's a reliable way to transfer big files (1-10Gb) remotely? I need a program that can write on SD card, as the internal memory is mostly full (1.5Gb free storage remaining). Things I've tried: ShareMe, Sweech, Server FTP - a bit slow, the connection is often interrupted, deleting all the progress, despite my strong WiFi signal and battery optimisation disabled. Laptop performance is also at max. Cloud - Drive and Mega, reliable but too slow as method Do you know anything that could let my Laptop write reliably and not too slowly on my smartphone's SD remotely?

Hello, so I have had this weird problem where I boot my computer, (this only happens at random) but I boot, windows launches pretty quick, but I dont see the bios screen (which i usually do when i boot) and i see that my windows profile pictute is blank. When I get in, I cannot open file explorer at all or if I do it'll take any time to open and it wont show me all my documents, i cant access my HDD or SSD or anything its literally just a blank, very slow booting, flie explorer. I also cant open anything on the task bar like notifications, start button wont even bring up the start apps, but I can use my computer, like google, be in a meeting, watch videos, what not. Its just kind of frustrating because I think I am able to go play a game but It wont let me because obviously i cant acess any folders, causing me to restart the computer, most likely booting it correctly. I've seen like a weird hdd or something that says boot manager? is that my issue? do i delete it? what should i even do, i am currently in class and its on this weird boot that i cant open file explorer or just yes that problem. Its really weird, I dont know whats causing it. I took a screenshot of what my file explorer looks like, and i cant even open the screenshots folder, in order to do so i must restart the pc and share it afterwards.

i have a computer running linuxmint. i want to be able to access its files from my windows 10 pro computer. i decided to use samba. i used this guide and this video to help me setup samba. setup seemed to work fine. i then tried to access the files from windows by typing in \\{linuxcompip}\share in windows file manager. it then asked me to login so i typed in the name and password i setup but then it tells me that windows cant access the files. on this form someone had a different issue i did, but i thought that it was similar enough that i could try it. (bad mistake), i tried this fix and now when i type \\{linuxcompip}\share again, but this time it doesn't ask me for a password, it just straight up tells me i don't have permission to access the files. i didn't like that my files were not password protected, so i tried to reverse what the form told me to do, but i wasn't successful. anyone here who knows what i should look at to see what the problem is?

Hi all, I have this folder on my NAS that I want to copy to my local machine so that I can easily sort the files with a script. But the properties panel reports a "size" and a "size on disk". What's the difference between these and which one should I worry about? 144GB definitely fits on my local drive but 11.4TB definitely doesn't. Thanks a lot!

I don't know if this is just me, But I recently tried downloading Unreal Engine Because I just learned programming and I wanted to make some quick game just because of boredom. So, I started downloading Unreal Engine From epic games because It's a faster way to do because I already have epic games installed and I can just click Unreal Engine and boom magic! Unreal Engine is downloading. Now the issue I'm facing here and wanting help for is, because when I am downloading Unreal Engine it takes more space than it says it will. My Disk was 218GB left, Unreal Engine was supposed to take only 13GB out of my disk and leave me 205GB, Which Is fine by me. But Unreal Engine left me with only 185GB which is a little bit over limit. I don't want this much space being taken from my Disk! I don't even have anything else to delete all I have is My games, Important Files and that's it! So I cannot delete any of those, since I use those applications every day. But my question here is, Why did it take so much more space than said? I am typing this while my download is being finished, So I am wondering what if those are temporary files? What are those Files worth about 20-25 More Gigabytes? those are my questions. I hope I get my storage back when the download finishes. Bye everyone! by ElectroNeedsHelpOnline

I was trying to fix my neighbour's old laptop. I determined the problem was the OS and needs reinstalling. I tried to put the HDD on my external drive enclosure but when I plugged it in to my desktop. It wont detect the files and just showed up as 4 partition, 3 of them being Local DIsk somehow. Also when plugged the usb controller gone haywire somehow. Then I tried using Ubuntu via bootable usb stick hopping maybe it can read it. And you know what it did. But I can't transfer the file to my computer drives 'cause it detects it as a read only drive Can someone helped with transferring these files.

I have a corrupted hard drive and was attempting to reinstall windows 10 64bit and it didn't work at all until I booted from the usb, so I finally booted from the usb and I started doing the install I deleted all my partitions and thought I was done. It got to 17% completion and then it just said cannot complete install and quote unquote "anything you have done will not be saved" I restart thinking u know what I can handle the crashes every 10 minutes, and then this happened (picture below). So I disconnected the usb Ctrl alt del and the thing said no operating system again. I don't have enough money to get a new hard drive right now but I literally can't download windows to the hard drive it's corrupted and it's not getting past 1% on the download anymore. I'm not 100% sure how I corrupted my hard drive but I know it was around the time I was playing 3 games and downloading a lot of stuff like 4gb downloads from chrome and extracts to folders to play other games, idk how to turn overclock off and stuff I'm not that smart
