there is no recursive flag for mv

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:50 PM

it grafts the complete dir

Aantheas there is no recursive flag for mv

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:51 PM

and what about making the dir? how do I get the permissions right?

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:51 PM

if you run that command it will work

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:51 PM

as it is

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:52 PM

no permissions changed

Aantheas if you run that command it will work

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:52 PM

chown is needed too?

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:52 PM

maybe the top level dir will change permissions but the files inside wont

Aantheas maybe the top level dir will change permissions but the files inside wont

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:52 PM

I am making a new home dir

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:52 PM

and it should be instant too

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:53 PM

no, youre just renaming it, so nothing changes

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:53 PM

you can rename it back if it wasnt a problem afterwards

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:53 PM

but make sure a new deck dir did not get created first

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:53 PM

if it did, remove it before running the mv command

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:54 PM

got this so far

#!/bin/bash
sudo mv /var/home/deck /var/home/deck.backup
sudo mkdkr /var/home/deck

#!/bin/bash
sudo mv /var/home/deck /var/home/deck.backup
sudo mkdkr /var/home/deck

Ddnkmmr got this so far ``` #!/bin/bash sudo mv /var/home/deck /var/home/deck.backup su...

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:55 PM

I am actually gonna do something a little different

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:56 PM

#!/bin/bash
sudo cp -R /var/home/deck/* /var/home/deck.backup
sudo rm -rf /var/home/deck/*

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:56 PM

nonono

HikariKnight•3/1/24, 2:56 PM

honestly i would go into tty and sudo susudo su then do the mv operation and mkhomedir_helper deckmkhomedir_helper deck

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:56 PM

sudo su
mv /var/home/deck /var/home/deck.backup
mkhomedir_helper deck

sudo su
mv /var/home/deck /var/home/deck.backup
mkhomedir_helper deck

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:56 PM

thats it

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:56 PM

nothing else

antheasOP•3/1/24, 2:57 PM

if you do cp -R you will break it

HikariKnight•3/1/24, 2:57 PM

mkhomedir_helpermkhomedir_helper will make the homedir, set the permissions and copy skel in 1 go

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:58 PM

never knew that was a thing. see you at the other side. may be the last message from me for a little while.

HikariKnight•3/1/24, 2:59 PM

i would recommend doing that process through a root prompt though due to you messing with your shell and homedir

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 2:59 PM

I typed sudo susudo su

HikariKnight•3/1/24, 2:59 PM

yeah

HikariKnight•3/1/24, 3:00 PM

just double check everything you type in while on root prompt

HikariKnight•3/1/24, 3:00 PM

and exit as soon as youre done

antheasOP•3/1/24, 3:07 PM

good idea to set a root passwd too

antheasOP•3/1/24, 3:07 PM

with passwd in the root shell

antheasOP•3/1/24, 3:07 PM

so you dont get locked out in any case

Tayler•3/1/24, 3:11 PM

Looks like Dor filed a freeze exception to get VRR into Gnome 46, that's awesome

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 3:13 PM

three two one here I go

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 3:52 PM

After a restart, the system performed some updates and then hung late into the boot process. After waiting about five minutes, I restarted and tried again, and now I am unable to even alt tab from the Plymouth boot screen, so I am unable to even view what is taking place

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 3:53 PM

Normally, I can press alt tab to hide it

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 3:54 PM

This is getting pretty dire

VVarian-Killbot This is getting pretty dire

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 3:55 PM

agreed

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 3:57 PM

At the very least, I can boot into the previous OS tree.

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 3:58 PM

So my system is still operable, but this is definitely a sign that the current version is bricked

OptimumSlinky•3/1/24, 4:00 PM

Not sure if this is the same thing, but I tried installing the current Bazzite-stable on my desktop and it would not get past the initial boot stage.

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 4:00 PM

Very possible

OptimumSlinky•3/1/24, 4:01 PM

I ended up spamming my BIOS and reverting over to my Windows drive. The bazzite on my HTPC seems to be working without issue tho

Kyle Gospo•3/1/24, 4:09 PM

was there a message about initramfs during this?

KKyle Gospo was there a message about initramfs during this?

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 4:19 PM

There was, but only that it was updating it. Took north of 3 minutes or so, got past it, and was talking about GDM and delaying exiting Plymouth or something to that effect when it just never progressed further

Varian-Killbot•3/1/24, 4:23 PM

The most esoteric packages I tried to install to OSTree were things like Dropbear (which was redundant given the toggle in Gnome settings), Neovim, and Fortune-mod.

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 4:27 PM

I did a reset on my home dir and still sometimes I get the blinking _ when gamescope is being loaded

HikariKnight•3/1/24, 4:29 PM

no idea what would be causing it then

KKyle Gospo was there a message about initramfs during this?

dnkmmr•3/1/24, 4:31 PM

Hey what branch are you currently on. I am asking since you don't experince the blinking _ error. This is what my
