The AUR package btrfs-autosnap does this. You define which subvolumes need to be snapshotted and how many it should keep of each. It adds a pacman hook that then takes a snapshot before updating.

I’ve been reading into the US politics too much, I thought they were writing about the capitol riot.

I thought the exact same thing…

Ah, I’m certain you can use sshfs from KDE Connect on your desktop to browse through the files on the phone. Depending on how the videos are stored, you should be able to find them on the Internal Storage drive. Unless it’s DRM enabled videos, then it’s locked down behind the app sandbox.

So I was right. She chose (maybe unknowingly) to run Ubuntu and dropped out because she couldn’t install the software required. Not Ubuntu’s fault at all.

I haven’t seen the video, but that title does not seem correct. Pretty sure it would be her choice to use Ubuntu that got her to drop out. I don’t believe Canonical/Ubuntu can force someone out of college.

If you don’t like me writing when I haven’t seen the video, then please post some TL;DW info, so we all know what’s going on without having to watch a youtube video.

Just to clarify.

You want the KDE Connect app to have direct access to video files on your Samsung phone?

Is there a specific reason you can’t just use the media browser on the phone and use the “Share” feature in that to send it to KDE Connect Send To Device?

I’m an old man. I don’t get the appeal of a terminal with hardware acceleration and all that fancy stuff. I use what the distro/DE came with.

I don’t replace anything. I just install what I need from the beginning.

And yes, I run Arch btw. :D

This is really good advise and it all boils down to one attribute. Patience.

Don’t get disheartened when something does not work the first time. Take a step back. Look at what went wrong and then try again, hopefully without doing the same mistake again.

Learn the basic tools of Linux and Bash/Posix. cd, ls, cp, mv and rm are some very basic tools, but it is what we use 80% of the time.

Yeah, but not immutable and not with waydroid pre-installed.

I think I want something bazzite-like and probably immutable but more media focused than gaming, with already working and set up waydroid and remote control support.

Likely does not exist yet. I haven’t heard of one, at least.

You mean like an APU?

David might be using git’s send email, which he likely has set up to have a max line length of about 80, because that’s what the kernel developers require.

There is, but it is not great at handling conflicts, and other yes/no questions pacman might ask. This can lead to something going wrong during installation or updates.

Good point. sudoe + TAB is 1 keystroke shorter than sudo -e :)

How is sudoedit shorter than sudo -e ? :D

What does CTRL+SHIFT+M do?

The website says you install it like any other package on your distro. Ofcourse that will only work if it’s packaged for your distribution. KCM modules in general are system packages, so not something you can install on a user-basis, like themes and widgets.

## Easiest way to install and receive update is to use my Personal Package Archive as follows:

### To install from command line

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bstrong-f/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fisysmgr or fsmgr

### To install from Synaptic Package Manager

First add the repository:

Go to System Settings, Driver Manager.
Open the "Other Software tap", click Add.
Enter "deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/bstrong-f/daily/ubuntu noble main"
For later releases change "noble" to the appreciate release name.

Close Software Sources.

Open Synaptic Package Manager.

Enter "fsmgr" in search bar. (you may need to click Reload on main Synaptic dialog.)
Right Click "fsmgr" in list.
Click Mark for: Installation.
Click Apply.

### Suggested additional packages.

To search for samba/cifs shares you will need to have cifs-utils installed.
To search for NFS shares you will need to have nfs-common installed.
To search for network shares you will also need to have avahi-utils installed.

It’s europe. All electronics are more xpensive here, often because of import taxes/VAT etc.

I’m not sure why I got downvoted with that comment. Is it untrue?
