Maybe it still appears in /var/lib/dpkg/status? If it is, try deleting the entry from there.

I use openmediavault for my home NAS, it does all the heavy lifting for you with a nice GUI so you don’t have to config everything yourself. I’d recommend checking it if you don’t have a lot of experience with RAID setups or don’t want to do manually.

Just please remember that RAID is not a backup solution, it’s a redundancy solution. If you have data corruption on one side, it can copy itself to the other mirror and then you’re screwed. If your media is important, keep a proper separate backup.

Turns out it was a problem with the Steam client itself, I think it’s because the steam:i386 package isn’t used anymore and it’s now steam-installer, but something with the steam update didn’t run correctly. After purging all the old steam packages and reinstalling from Pop Shop it started running again.

Yeah, some vendors do this, I think the .exe basically unpacks the .bin file then calls some API or something to push it from Windows while it’s running. Probably done for the sake of more casual users who don’t know/want to mess with the actual BIOS UI.

Just to add to that, you also have the option of using Flatpak, which already comes installed by default in Pop OS and integrated into Pop Shop. With Flatpak you can usually get a more recent version of the app, but the downside is larger install size.

Worth a try. I should probably switch back to X11 anyway since Slack screen sharing is broken on Wayland for quite some time and it doesn’t look like they’re gonna fix it.

Thank you for releasing the Mesa 23.1 update. I was hoping you’ll get to it for some time.

Did you check if the recovery partition was recognised and mounted? Maybe some voodoo made it fail to mount, but it worked after a reboot.

If you’re using the default bluetooth connection from settings, maybe try installing blueman instead.

Oh yeah, Time Commando. Had the demo as a kid and I played it so much, thought it was the best game ever. The demo was just some parts of the prehistoric and roman levels, I think. Then years later I suddenly remembered it and picked it up on sale from GOG, and oh boy, did this game age badly. The cutting edge graphics for its time are just plain ugly today, and the gameplay is boring. My advice to you is stick to your memories but don’t bother with the actual game.

He’s 40% mural!

I have the wireguard configs imported with nmcli and use WireGuard Indicator to turn it on/off.

• Not sure if the installer would run, you may have to disable secure boot just for that. But you can run Pop with secure boot although there is no built in support. You will have to sign the kernel yourself everytime there’s a new version.
• Yes, from the custom install option you can set up the partitions however you like on the drives you select. If you don’t want to overwrite the Windows drive by mistake, you can physically disconnect it before installing Pop.

I just got The Last Door yesterday, interesing story (at least in the first part) and it gets the creepy atmosphere just right, though the puzzles are pretty easy. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/275/The_Last_Door_Collectors_Edition_Bundle/

Also, Lair of the Clockwork God is awesome and everyone should play it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1060600/Lair_of_the_Clockwork_God/

The mother of all games! I bet the game manual I printed is still lying at the bottom of some forgotten drawer at my parents house.

Thanks, bookmarking that. I always get -L and -R mixed up and have to look up examples, this one looks very handy.

Sounds like Shattered Pixel Dungeon. The code is open source (since it’s a port of the original Pixel Dungeon which is also open source) and a Java version and .apk are freely available to download from github. But it is also being sold on mobile/Steam/GOG, and I think the dev is making a bit of money of it (enough to go on developing, in any case).

Probably the Quest for Glory series for me. Played them so many times that I can just pick up any one them with any character and get sucked right back in to the game. I’ve had an itch lately to do a full playthrough of all 5 games after not touching them for a long time but I have little free time and too much backlog…
