The 7z file archival utility can not only produce 7z files, but also some other formats including ZIP.

Normally, the ZIP format only supports a time granularity of two seconds. This means ZIP can only store even seconds (0, 2, 4, 6, 8), while odd seconds have to be rounded. But 7z can nonetheless somehow store odd seconds.

How to reproduce:

touch -m -t 202501010000.00 even.txt
touch -m -t 202501010000.01 odd.txt
7z a test.zip even.txt odd.txt
7z l test.zip

How is this possible?

Note that odd seconds still appear rounded up with lsar -L test.zip.

Been using Linux for over 10 years pretty casually as a daily and been using it as my main gaming rig for the last year or so. Looking for a way so that I can skip alot of the basic installs I make when I reflash my current OS. Ie package my current kernal updates, snap/flatpack installs, driver changes, basic apt updates? Don't need to keep any files at all. Not really looking for a backup as I can't transfer that to my other computers. Currently using kubuntu 25.04

So I recently had to build a new computer, long story short, my cat's a dick. Anyway, I took the opportunity to future proof my PC. ( Just for reference Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon 6800 XT) Now, i've got all my parts but I haven't built it yet because now i'm stuck trying to decide if I want to buy windows for the yet again or switch to Linux. So I don't only use it for gaming, I also use it for digital art, music and the occasional video edit. But seeing as i've had to buy windows four times in the past couple years, I don't really want to buy it again, and i've heard recently that windows 11 is having issues with messing up ssds. So my question is, is it worth it to just go ahead and using Linux instead? 🤔 I've never used anything to do with Linux. So i'm a complete beginner with it so I know very little if anything. So are there any pros and cons that I need to be aware of, aside from not everything is linux compatible. I would appreciate any input. Thanks

Edit: all I mean by future proof is making it so I don't have to upgrade anything for a couple years.

Hi, I’d appreciate advice on a reliable alternative to Remmina. My main requirement is solid RDP support. Recently, I’ve been experiencing significant stability issues with Remmina. It crashes intermittently, clipboard sharing is inconsistent, and if I attempt to initiate an RDP session too quickly, the application often becomes unresponsive.

I am on Fedora Workstation. Recently I have been facing trouble sharing my screen. Nothing, literally nothing works. Screen cast, Discord, Google Meet, Zoom, Kooha Literally anything that can share screen is not working. Is there any fix to

Hello,

Ich habe mir aus alter hardware einen homeserver zusammengestellt und betreibe diesen mit ubuntu.
nun habe ich 2 x 2TB HDD´s im RAID um über samba meine Daten ( Bilder, Akten etc.) zu sichern.

nun meine Frage:

wenn ich keine Lust mehr auf Ubuntu habe und doch win 11 nutzen will, kann ich den RAID und die Daten darauf (ebenso wie eine dritte 512 GB M.2 mit den selben Daten) in WIndows übernehmen?
Also wenn ich einfach Win 11 installiere und die Ubuntu installation lösche.

Hello! Im currently travelling and somehow managed to brick my SSD :(

I recently bought a framework 13 amd ryzen, and a 2TB crucial T500 to go along with it. For the past 3 months it’s been working wonderfully.

2 days ago I tried to shut it down after waking it from a longer suspend, systemctl poweroff wasnt working, so I held the power button (silly me).

When restarting it, I was met with a black screen. After a while, it booted to my usb expansion pack which contains an arch linux installation for when I brick my system.

Checking the kernel logs gave me this message: Nvme0 device not ready aborting reset, CSTS=0x1

Which, according to Claude, suggests the ssd is failing to initialize internally due to some error.

I also cant see the block device from my rescue install, fdisk -l or lsblk dont show it.

I also tried doing ’nvme list’ from the rescue usb but nothing luck there either.

However lspci grep nvme returns: non-volatile memory controller: micron/crucial technology t500.

Suggesting that its seen on a hardware level (I think?)

I tried creating a crucial bootable iso with the newest firmware version hoping I could reinstall it and fix it that way, but

1. The iso drops me into grub cmdline

2. Following these steps:

But after running ’boot’ I see ”Trying to terminate EFI services again…” after which it hangs again.

Im close to giving up and just buying a new SSD, which kinda sucks because I shelled out for a top of the line SSD thinking it was gonna give me good performance for a long while, but im out of ideas at this point. Also, why would a force shutdown brick my SSD to the point where it’s essentially unfixable even if Im ok with just reformatting everything?

Can anyone help me fix/troubleshoot this issue?

Btw all of this was on arch.

Hello , I wanna remove windows and Install Ubuntu LTS as only OS .

(I have an USB)

The problem is Whenever I search for a YouTube video that explain HOW to do it step-by-step its always by the Windows 11 and not 10 (IDK if there is big differences or not).

Im still searching for something that can give me a step-by-step to do it .

So if someone got an idea or somewhere to find every thing I have to know to do it , please tell me.

Ciao a tutti,

Vendo minipc, oggi pomeriggio parlando con un amico, mi ha chiesto se ci fosse l’opportunità di usare un minipc sotto alla tv. E io ho detto si, nessun problema.

Lui vorrebbe togliere la firestick di amazon. Mettere un minipc, dove puó avere un’interfaccia grafica per la tv (tipo kodi), dove puó vedere prime video, disney plus e netflix, e poi ci puó navigare in rete e perchè no, aggiungiamo anche il retrogaming..

C’è una distro che fa tutto questo?

Grazie

After the latest Windows update, I can't load into Ubuntu anymore when dual booting as it goes into the Gnu GRUB terminal.

I tried to check on Secure Boot and Fast Startup but both stayed the same as they were prior to the update so, what gives? Have I just lost my Ubuntu work and will have to reinstall because of another messy Windows update?

I am new and want to setup a newer to Linux and want to try a new setup with just a window manager.

But idk if I have to have a desktop environment with it. Looking at Xmonad, Sawfish and Moksha.

I have a WD Red hard drive in an external dock. I use btrfs.

Something spins it up every 10 minutes. fatrace doesn't show anything at the time it spins up.

iotop shows btrfs-transaction, and some kworker/u48:4-btrfs-endio-write most of the time. Around the time the disk spins up, systemd-journald appears. But I don't see why journald would need the external drive.

What other ways could I diagnose this?

Recently I got this Asus Vivobook 15 X1504VA-E82190 laptop brand new (i5 1354u)

Installed fedora 42 with kde plasma.

My battery without any apps open and minimal background processes (5% cpu and igpu utilization less than 1GHz) 35% brightness and power-profiles-daemon set to power saving is max 5 hours and with only kitty open its even less than 4.

I tried both auto-cpufreq and tlp and both didn't do much probably because they cant do much when you're almost not using your cpu at all.

The same laptop in windows 11 gets at least double that.

What am I missing??

Edit: Also checked powertop didn't see anything abnormal there as well.

I'd say this question is more for Ubuntu/Debian-based distros, but here is what the question is.

What is actually the proper way to iaunch the file manager as root? I heard that launching the terminal and typing "sudo nautilus" is bad and the better way is to open the file manager, press CTRL + L, type "admin:" and enter your password. I use the second method (CTRL + L) by the way.

I have been fighting this issue on and off and have never found a concrete answer. I have a few servers on my local network that I work on remotely. I use expressVPN and have it enabled on most of my machines. I have noticed that whenever the VPN is running on a host, while I can SSH over the local network with no issues, X11 Forwarding always fails and the DISPLAY variable is not set.

Today I realized that if I set X11UseLocalHost no in my sshd config, X11 forwarding works when the VPN is active. Of course I don't want to leave it this way for security reasons.

I am wondering if anyone has encountered this and found a proper solution? I assume the VPN is binding to a socket used by X11 (or something like that... Networking is not a strength of mine). I haven't found much information online so any insights are appreciated!

Just yerday I switched from windows 10 to linux after hearing so mch about it. I have never used it before. I tried a couple of linux distros which I had only a little problem getting to work and they all gave me the same glitch where my screen moves around quickly all over the place and static appears, sometimes even going black for a few seconds. I think it has something to do wirh my hardware but im honestly not so sure what the problem is. I have an evoo gaming laptop. I hope someone can help me out. My specs are: CPU: 9th Gen Intel i7-9750H GPU: Nvidia GTX 1660Ti 16 GB of RAM 512 GB of storage

I just installed Fedora 42 and have noticed that the disk won't auto decrypt if the laptop lid is closed. I used the following command at setup.

sudo clevis luks bind -d /dev/nvme... tpm2 '{"pcr_ids":"1,4,5,7,9"}'

I want to install servers with keyboard and displays connected and then unplug them. Will it work by rebind after disconecting via ssh or does dissconected and never connected have different signature?
