Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm assuming this isn't normal behavior, but copying and pasting commands into shell windows (host, VMs, LXCs, doesn't matter) doesn't work. I've noticed issues with curl too, despite saying it's installed and up-to-date, but one thing at a time...I'm also not convinced that edits made to conf files are persisting as a result. Is this a browser issue? As always, thanks for helping out a normie in need.

Edit: it's taking at least 20min for a simple conf edit to save. I have to assume that's abnormal too, running a i5-13500 by the way...confirmed, not saving conf edits

Ctrl+shift+V

However this won't work with vms as the console is just vnc. You'll have to use spice or ssh.

That's not working for me. Tried on the host and an lxc

If you want to parse in the console you need to setup the xterm console, or use spice viewer

Yes, I've been using xterm

What browser are you using?

Firefox 144.0.2

Did you confirm your hash for the iso before using it? Might be a corrupted install because of this if all hardware checks out.

Which browser are you using? I had odd issues with one and I cant remember which but worked fine with chrome and vivaldi. I want to say firefox flavors had issues for me which sucked but could be remembering it wrong.

I am using Firefox, that's a shame...

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago
