Graphical user interface for managing your Linux applications. Supports AppImage, Debian and Arch packages (including AUR), Flatpak, Snap and native Web applications - vinifmor/bauh
Mate, you are not being clear at all. I’ve clarified this multiple times. If you’re unwilling to acknowledge that built in package managers do not include non-native package formats, this conversation can’t progress.
They're saying they want something like Synaptic (mostly for its "multi-select", apparently, though I'm not sure what that means?), but have it support AppImages, Flatpaks, Snaps, etc., instead of just Debs like Synaptic does.
Don't feed the trolls, especially the ones that are bad at it. But yeah, this app doesn't let you select and uninstall multiple things nor does it have all the functionality of Synaptic (which is amaze). I'd settle on a CLI tool for this too, I just want a one stop shop because I get so triggered having to juggle different managers. It's just fucking annoying really. Like, I found the cli tool Topgrade and it is just the best thing ever for keeping things up to date from all package managers, I want that with extended functionality as even this tool doesn't manage every manager that Topgrade does. Something modular, otherwise I waste time fucking around with everything.

LJL is a job creation language that takes a job file, gathers items mentioned in its various lines and here-documents, and generates a runnable .deck file (short for "deck of cards").
The .deck file is a complex Bash script that creates a log spool and several temporary files in /tmp/. It automatically cleans up scratchable files after the run. The log file contains the output of each step, including any program results.
More Detail::: What SUBMIT Does with Each LJL Statement:
For every statement, SUBMIT generates corresponding commands in the .deck file. Below is a step-by-step breakdown:
One //jo line, as many /dd lines as are required, and as many //ex as are required
//jo sumjob owner=me@mail.com log=print class=a
Generates a deck command to invoke ifclass a, which checks if the job's class allows execution at run time.
Generates a deck command to Log "sumjob is starting" to /var/log/JCL/ with a timestamp.
Generates a deck command to create /tmp/sumjob
Generates a deck command to initializes /tmp/sumjob/jobname.log with a formatted header (e.g., via figlet sumjob).
Job Classes: A = Runs as soon as submitted B = Runs only if load is low enough C = Runs in Off-Hours
//dd alias source(here|file=pathandfilename|new) disp(keep|scratch)
Note the disp (disposition) if keep the put the file in /home/user/.lcl/jobname as whatever the alias is if the disp(scratch) then the file will go into the /tmp/jobname directory as named by the alias.
Generate deck commands to
-- if source is here: copy lines from lcl up to '/*' to the deck file as a here document if source is a file: add commands to copy the file into a working directory either in user's home or in the tmp directory under the alias. //dd users source(file=/etc/passwd) disp(keep) ==> copy /etc/passwd to /home/user/.ljl/users
//ex somecommand --options < alias
-Generate doc commands to execute the program as specified and save the output to the logfile In this case echo (somecommand --options < aliasproperlyexpanded) > logfile
The deck file now forms a fully functional batch file to do the specified computation.
Between bash (and the 40 or so other shells available under Linux), python, perl, and the several hundred other scripting languages already available, is a dedicated job control language really needed? I think unnecessary fluff.
It is not mandatory that you install it - Yes, there are other choices already. But in the beginning, Unix only had C and Assembly why didn't we just stick with those?
I have changed the syntax a little: //jo jobname owner(username) log(mailto=user@location) class(a) //** Note that the next step copies /etc/passwd to /tmp/jobname/passwd and then later deletes it when the job is done //dd passwd disp(scratch) source(file=/etc/passwd) //ex cat passwd

“The price of the Chernobyl catastrophe was overwhelming, not only in human terms, but also economically. Even today, the legacy of Chernobyl affects the economies of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.” - Mikhail Gorbachev
He wrote: “Chernobyl opened my eyes like nothing else: it showed the horrible consequences of nuclear power even when it is used for non-military purposes.” -- Mikhail Gorbachev
"On 26 April 39 years ago, the worst nuclear accident so far exploded in Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. It was a Soviet-made RMBK, high-power channel reactor design that could produce plutonium for nuclear bombs as easily as it could produce electricity.
A major reason for the disaster was that those in Moscow who decided to re-purpose reactors originally designed to produce materials for nuclear weapons to produce electricity kept secret a good deal about the inherent design dangers and instability of the reactors even from the reactor operators (including its “positive void co-efficient of reactivity”). The operators with pressure to fill production quotas cut corners.
In the reactor, 1,661 zirconium pressure tubes contained fuel rods and cooling water within 1,700 tonnes of graphite and a complex system of control rods, without heavy engineered containment. The design was 20 years old, but the plant had only been operating for three years.
An experiment was conducted to determine how much electricity could be generated by the freewheeling turbine to which supply of steam from the reactor had been cut. The experiment was delayed by 12 hours but continued in the wee morning hours despite failure to reset the automatic control system.
Multiple safety rules were deliberately violated. Reactor power was lowered to prohibited levels before attempts were made to insert shutdown control rods into the reactor core. Because of an inherent flaw in the reactor design, this did not lead to powering down, but to a rapid explosive burst. Nuclear criticality increased rapidly in some fuel elements, leading to their explosive disintegration, generation of vast quantities of steam and a hydrogen explosion. Chunks of highly radioactive molten fuel were blasted 7 – 9 km into the air, much of it into the stratosphere. A burning plume extended 500 m high. The two explosions and graphite fire over the next 10 days ejected about one third of the 190 tonnes of fuel inside the reactor and radioactive material continue to be emitted for a month.
The World Health Organisation observed that the Chernobyl disaster released 200 times as much total radioactivity as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs.
Early fallout more than 1,500 km away was first detected the following day when unusually high levels of radiation were measured when a nuclear power plant worker in Sweden was checking out of work. For a day and a half, nobody understood the full extent of the disaster. Initial attempts to put the fire out with water only worsened the situation. Evacuation of nearby residents was only implemented after 34 hours.
Nuclear reactors may produce useful electricity for a brief few decades, but their enduring products are uniquely hazardous radiation and high-level radioactive waste which persist over geological time frames.
Thirty nine years is a little over one half-life of caesium 137, so the cesium-137 in fallout across the world will by now have decayed by a little over half. The plutonium 239 released, however, with a half-life of 24,400 years, will have only decayed by one seventh of 1% by now. It will take a quarter of a million years for it to substantially decay away.
The misguided arrogant and dangerous hubris and vested interests that brought us the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters, and at least 11 other core melt accidents in different nuclear reactors, now brings us the willful madness of the alternative parties of Australian government’s plan for nuclear reactors proliferated around our wide, sunny and windy land. If we don’t act on evidence and learn from the past, we will be doomed to repeat it."

Well, the horrible consequences of getting it wrong. Nuclear power itself is a wonderful thing, far cleaner and more reliable than any other form, provided it's run competently.
The unfortunate thing about these scare tactics is that nuclear actually has the fewest sources of death of ANY power generation method, has the lowest carbon foot print of any base load power generation system, and is really our only viable path to a future. To put things in context, Chernobyl killed 50 people directly and perhaps caused cancer in about 4,000 others, but nearly every one of those cancers was thyroid cancer and there was only one known case of death that resulted from that. To put that in contrast, the failure of the Banqiao Dam, a Chinese hydro power project is estimated to have killed 175,000 people.
@nanookThat's bullshit. There's nothing more deadly (and costly) than nukes.
All Nuclear Reactors Leak All Of The Time. They’ve been hacked, infested with vermin, power black outs, hundreds of accidents that the public never hears about ... When the Chernobyl elephant foot sinks into ground water, they’ll be an explosion. Radioactive spills happen all the time and the media overs most of it up
@AnungIkwe ᐊᓈᓐg ᐃᑴ Try taking a Geiger counter to a nuke to prove how wrong you are. Sellafield wasn't an issue because of the nuclear reactors, it was an issue of how badly the British did reprocessing, and we have a similar issue here in Washington known as Hanford. In both cases, it was a military project to extract plutonium, the chemistry wasn't well worked out at the time, and the emphasis was on getting as much plutonium as fast as possible. Nuclear energy CAN be tremendously destructive if applied to tremendously destructive objectives, i.e., dropping nuclear weapons on people, and it can also be tremendously beneficial. And to address Jolly Ranchers post, Graphite was a poor choice of moderator because at high temperatures it could catch fire, and unfortunately neutron capture lead to poisoning of it that required occasionally taking it to high temperature to purge it. What a lot of people don't know is that we had a very similar reactor to Chernobyl in California, that, like Chernobyl, also caught fire, but an employee took a fire hose to it and successfully extinguished the fire before it became a Chernobyl explosion. I personally am not a big fan of even boiling water reactors because of four safety issues, 1) they have to operate at 200-300 atmosphere's of pressure to achieve anything close to acceptable thermodynamic efficiency, 2) Water can and is disassociated into hydrogen and oxygen and if systems fail that can detonate into a Fukushima event, 3) they require active safety mechanisms and 4) because fission products aren't continuously removed, fission decay can create enough heat for a sustained meltdown even after the reactor is scrammed. Molten salt reactors resolve ALL of these issues, and while Jolly Rancher rightly points out there are some issues that are not fully resolved, he exaggerates some, 700C isn't white hot, it's red-orange hot, exhaust nozzles of rockets operate at twice this temperature and as Elon has demonstrated, can endure it repeatedly, but more than that the chemistry of continuously removing fission products had not been worked out at the time of Oakridge, it isn't known yet of the corrosion resistance of Hastalloy used in Oakridge us sufficient but material science has improved vastly since that time, but even so if you get a leak, unlike the situation of a pressurized water reactor, it's not the end of the world. You drain the core into the drain tank, what leaked will have solidified at room temperature and owing to the lack of fission products will be at room temperature and not nearly as hot as conventional corrium containing fission products, you scoop it up, put it in the tank, fix the plumbing, heat the drain tank and pump the salt/fuel back into the core and life goes on. Neither expensive nor a risk to the environment. Further, if we DON'T build these then we've got tonnes of million year waste that is impossible to safely store for that time frame, but if we do, we can use the actinides in that waste, which are the long term portion of that waste, and end up with a much smaller volume of waste that will take only 300 years to cool down to be safely disposed. As to the chemistry of removing fission products from molten salt, at least one human, Kirk Sorensen, has worked this out.
Those molten salt designs always lose me at "a sparge of fluorine" ...
Fluorine lowers the melting point of those salt mixtures, but it reacts with every other element in existence (except maybe helium and neon). You do not want the melting point of that Inconel or Hasteloy to be lowered.
And of course, the government hates the molten salt designs because none of the isotopes used in them are applicable to the construction of weapons. For various reasons..
@AnungIkwe ᐊᓈᓐg ᐃᑴ They don't have to tell us, anyone can buy a Geiger counter or scintillation detector for under $100, and a decent one that will give you gamma ray spectrum allowing you to identify the element(s) in question for under $200. I own one, I think in this modern day everyone should.
@AnungIkwe ᐊᓈᓐg ᐃᑴ That depends somewhat on the level if goes off at. If it's at a very high level, unless someone drops a bomb unlikely here, but if it is then I obviously will try to determine in which direction it seems to be lower and head in that direction. But I consider that unlikely. If it is lower, I will take steps to try to determine the source such as trying to localize it, looking at various news sources, online monitors, etc. The nice thing about radiation is there is quite a wide range between detectable levels and levels that represent a safety issue as opposed to many chemicals which you can't readily detect at low levels but will kill you just the same.
Regardless of whether you eat bananas or not, you and I and everyone have naturally radioactive potassium in us all the time. Long half-life, so not many atoms are decaying in any one second, but the energy of each decay is awesome. Powerful enough to make positrons.
Antimatter is in your body, right now!
In the wake of Fukushima, it was amusing to see all the twitter users posting the readings on their radiation survey meters. Fukushima genuinely polluted the entire Pacific Ocean, but unless you were sampling it along the coast of Japan, you needed some sophisticated lab equipment to sort through all the NR and find a decay from some fission product..
@Jolly Rancher @AnungIkwe ᐊᓈᓐg ᐃᑴ To be sure, and the levels above background that it takes to be dangerous are actually quite high. But yea, we have anti-matter being formed, cosmic rays zipping through our bodies, billions of neutrinos a second though very few of them ever interact. The universe is a busy place.
@Jolly Rancher @AnungIkwe ᐊᓈᓐg ᐃᑴ On the pacific coast radioactive isotopes were being detected on order of a dozen or so atoms per cubic meter, hardly anything to get excited about (pun intended).
... so long as you can get away with pumping fluorides thru white hot metal plumbing. There are some problems with them that have never been addressed.
Water moderated reactors are the way to go. The ones that power our navy are some of the most uninteresting machines ever built. Just sitting there making power.
Windscale and Hanford were cold war efforts to breed plutonium for weapons. I understand the Soviets made some messes too back then. Running right at the edge of insanity to get that Pu239. Molten sodium cooling is another neat idea that never caught on. ..
And Chernobyl was graphite moderated. Much less stable than water. The techs were playing around that night, deviating from the operation manual. And TMI here melted down when they disabled an annoying alarm signal instead of shutting down... It's a good idea to follow directions with those things.

Angenommen, wirklich nur mal angenommen, der #Blackout in #Spanien wäre ursächlich, nachweislich und zu 100% aufgrund eines deutlich zu hohen Anteil von Wind- und Solaranlagen entstanden. Glaubt jemand, diese Erkenntnis würde die deutsche Politik zum Überdenken der Energiewende bewegen? Ich bin davon überzeugt: kein bisschen. Die geschaffenen Strukturen, das viele investierte Geld und die festen Überzeugungen an die Richtigkeit sind inzwischen so mächtig, dass man alles, buchstäblich alles riskieren würde, um dieses Weltbild aufrecht zu erhalten. Genau diese Denke herrscht leider in vielen anderen Bereichen auch. Das Hauptproblem in diesem Land ist nicht das Treffen von Fehlentscheidungen. Die sind unvermeidlich. Das Hauptproblem ist die nahezu vollständige Ignoranz, aus Fehlern zu lernen und einmal getroffene Entscheidungen zu korrigieren.
I have temporarily installed LMDE6 on an HDD where I had a bit of free space, worked with it, experienced Steam with Proton and now I am convinced: I want to move to Linux from Windows for good.
Have another disk, an SSD in which most of the space is taken up by the Windows C: partition. Would like to move Linux there after shrinking the Windows partition a bit more than what it currently occupies now.
I have tried to do this with Paragon on Windows, but after restarting no change can be seen, despite no error being presented. Tried from Linux with GParted but all attempts end up with an error when running ntfsresize.
So 1. What do I use to do this and how do I do it safely? 2.How do I move the content of my current Linux partition (less than 50 GBs) to that disk keeping the bootloader and everything else working? And what filesystem is best to use?
Others have pointed out what may he going wrong (drive locked due to Windows fast startup).
A slightly different tack - dual booting windows and linux on the same drive is a bad idea. One reason is the messy boot set up which can cause issues with windows not booting or linux not booting, or either/both fighting over the boot partition. It can get to the point of using repair disks to repair one or the other or both. It can be managed but make a mistake and its a real headache to fix (I say that as someone who has been their and done that and learned the lesson)
If you want to switch to linux but keep windows "just in case" and have a desktop I'd get a new SSD and use it as a dedicated linux drive. SATA or even better an m.2 card if your motherboard has the slots.
A separate drive is far better as linux can be the drive booted by the BIOS and then Grub can then point back to your untouched windows drive to boot it when you want. If linux updates it won't affect windows, and if windows updates it won't affect linux. Also if you have a drive failure you won't lose 2 OSes and all data in one go.
Personally I have 5 drives in my PC - easy expansion of storage is a big benefit to a nice full size PC. I have one largely unused windows drive, and 4 ext4 drives.
Is there any hardware specification I should be pay attention to when buying for exclusive Linux use?
If I was to install one more home partition from the LMDE installation USB, would it automatically fix things for me in Grub or would I have to fix things myself before or after?
If I was to install one more home partition from the LMDE installation USB, would it automatically fix things for me in Grub or would I have to fix things myself before or after?
If I understand you right, you want to install two additional SSDs, one for Linux root (system), probably ext4 formatted, and one 'home' for your personal data?
If that's the case, the boot loader GRUB is going to be installed onto the system SSD and will usually automatically detect the Windows boot loader on your current, Windows only, hard drive. If it didn't, you need to toggle an option in GRUB's configuration file and run update-grub again.
For your home-partiotion on the other SSD, there exist two options: 1. The home partition is Linux exclusive, probably ext4 formatted (this doesn't work with NTFS), and all your data will be stored there. Yet, afaIk, you need to install an ext4 driver in Windows to access the data when you're on Windows.
The home partition is mutually accessible. (This the setup on my wifes laptop). There it's NTFS formatted and the respective folders (Documents, Downloads, Pictures,... ) are mounted one by one using bind in /etc/fstab to their Linux counterpart.
Edit: I've forgot to mention that, first I created folders named Documents, Downloads,... on the new partition before being able to mount them in Linux.
After copying the data in Windows from the old folders to the new ones, the old folders can be deleted and replaced by hardlinks to their new counterparts using the Windows command line or PowerShell.
Just a possibility: Check if the m2 slot is for disk. There are many boards where there are WiFi exclusive m2 ports. For disks there are also m2 sata and m2 nvme port variations. You need to find out what yours are. Consult your motherboards technical documentation if in doubt. If the BIOS can boot from it, Linux can too.
Edit: that beeing said I never encountered problems with a similar setup ( I boot from Linux on nvme m2 then there is a combined windows /data disk)
