To establish an SSH connection, I need to open a local terminal and run a valid command

2026-05-13T01:35:08Z

I have two laptops, say A and B. I have an SSD, an external disk, with a perfectly working Debian 13 installed and connected to a USB input of laptop B. For the past few days, whenever I try to connect via the SSH protocol to this SSD, I have to open a terminal on that SSD and run any valid command on it. If I don’t do this, particularly if the command I run on the opened terminal is not valid, "command not found", the connection fails with the error “no route to host.” Once I’ve done this, I can close the SSH connection and reopen it as needed: no further issues untill I either reboot this SSD or wake it up from sleep after a suspend action ("suspend on lid close").

If this helps, once the SSH connection was established, I ran the following commands from a terminal on the SSD:

~$ ss -tunlp

Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port Process

Do you have any idea what's going on?

Why doesn’t a website frame load as expected?

2026-05-12T21:37:49Z

I have a strange issue with a website named booking.com. Earlier all was fine. It happens when accessing the website on Windows or Linux PC with any recent browser.

There’s a messaging system within the website where you can send & receive messages to Customer Service. The issue is the right frame which is supposed to show the messages, only shows 4 rotating circles and the messages never load.

Interestingly their Android app is working fine.

This is what I have tried but that did not help

Clean cache, cookies, temp files. Waited for over 30 minutes to see if messages load.
Incognito mode
Tried from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Mozilla
Created a brand new Windows 11 VM with no previous cookies or history etc and tried accessing
Changed the ISP from cable to Mobile hotspot
In Blue stacks Android emulator I used Android Chrome app and accessed. The issue repeated inside the chrome browser on Android Emulator
Used a Linux PC and browser on Linux OS. Same behaviour.

I’m clueless where the issue is but my understanding is that it’s a backend issue. The booking.com team confirmed that this is not a global issue and they could not reproduce the issue so far.

What else I can try and what else they (backend team) can try to fix this?

The account is accessed using my email id (as username) and verification code received in the email.

To give you an idea how it looks like. Here's a screenshot. The 4 circles that you see in right frame just endlessly keep on rotating but the frame does not load.

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE after System Restore, BIOS detects SSD but WinRE sees no disks at all

2026-05-12T21:13:04Z

I’m honestly losing my mind over this

I for some dumb reason decided to run a Windows System Restore from a restore point a few days ago. It didn't work and kept getting me an Error message and I foolishly just kept trying other restore points until after the third when the whole system decided to take a dump on me and stop working

After rebooting I got:

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (0x7B)

In WinRE CMD:

chkdsk c: /f

Cannot open volume for direct access

and

bootrec /fixmbr

The system cannot find the path specified

BUT here's my main concern:

In diskpart:

list disk

There are no fixed disks to show

and:

list volume

shows nothing too.

So WinRE literally sees NO drives at all.

However:

BIOS/UEFI DOES detects the SSD normally
SSD model shows up correctly and completely fine in BIOS
RAM and CPU are detected fine
Boot mode is UEFI
I didn’t change AHCI/RAID settings
EXPO/XMP is enabled but system was stable before all this

System:

ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2

Ryzen 5 7600

Western Digital SSD (detected in BIOS)

At this point I’m trying to figure out whether:

WinRE/NVMe drivers somehow got corrupted
partition table/EFI got destroyed

Has anyone seen WinRE detect literally zero disks while BIOS still sees the NVMe perfectly fine?

Is there anything I can do except completely reinstall Windows and lose all my data?

It's amazing to me how Windows just has features implemented that completely f up your entire hard drive and system. Great. Really thinking about just moving to Linux atp

UCX devices visible to root not to user

2026-05-12T20:06:02Z

I'm currently using DOCA-OFED as the UCX driver, and IPoIB and UCX on the same device. The system can see the device from ibstat

CA 'mlx5_0'
        CA type: MT4129
        Number of ports: 1
        Firmware version: 28.36.1010
        Hardware version: 0
        Node GUID: 0x946dae03006f4936
        System image GUID: 0x946dae03006f4936
        Port 1:
                State: Active
                Physical state: LinkUp
                Rate: 200
                Base lid: 8
                LMC: 0
                SM lid: 8
                Capability mask: 0xa651e84a
                Port GUID: 0x946dae03006f4936
                Link layer: InfiniBand

This device is ibs1 on the node, and works perfectly on IPoIB

However I can't get UCX to work, as a user, notably it does work as root, confirmed by ibping.

I've worked through the udev rules

KERNEL=="issm*", SYMLINK+="infiniband/%k", MODE="0776", GROUP="rdma"
KERNEL=="ucm*", SYMLINK+="infiniband/%k", MODE="0776", GROUP="rdma"
KERNEL=="umad*", SYMLINK+="infiniband/%k", MODE="0776", GROUP="rdma"
KERNEL=="uverbs*", SYMLINK+="infiniband/%k", MODE="0776", GROUP="rdma"
KERNEL=="uat", SYMLINK+="infiniband/%k", MODE="0776", GROUP="rdma"
KERNEL=="ucma", SYMLINK+="infiniband/%k", MODE="0776", GROUP="rdma"
KERNEL=="rdma_cm", SYMLINK+="infiniband/%k", MODE="0776", GROUP="rdma"

In /etc/udev/rules.d/90-rdma.rules and confirmed that sets the /dev/infiniband folders sensibly (note-this server is airgapped so we can run a little bit lighter on the security. I also know I think thats not quite correct, but the documentation for this issue spans a decade and a half.

Running ucx_info -d as root produces sensible results with rdma memory domains for mlx5_0 but running it as a user who is a member of the group rdma does not produce the memory domains expected.

I don't even know how to diagnose this at this point (rocky 9.7 for reference, connectx-7 compatible device).

Is it possible to retrieve contents on website that auto-refreshes content?

2026-05-12T18:33:48Z

I visited a website that is set to auto-refresh after a certain period of time, and after that time passes, the content is no longer available when I revisit the URL. Is there any way to view the original content again?

I have already tried using Chrome Cache View, but the website didn't save the cache.

How to diagnose IRP_MJ_XXX routine latency?

2026-05-12T18:04:37Z

I'm using a PACS (physical access control system) that displays maps with campus doors and their status. The maps have some delay to retrieve doors status info, but succeed everytime. The maps use mshta.exe to display, I cope with a situation where I need to diagnose the latency of executing some IRP_MJ_XXX routines called as dependencies of mshta.exe ? For that purpose, I'm using Process Monitor and have enabled estimation of task duration. How to confirm that one IPR_MJ_XXX duration is normal and another one is long ? Is there any time threshold ? Thank you,

reg save HKLM\SECURITY (ERROR: Access is denied.)

2026-05-12T17:49:10Z

I have a user in a domain who is a member of the Backup Operators group. When using Windows' native reg command to save a remote domain controller's SAM and SYSTEM hives, it does so successfully:

PS C:\Users\...> reg save \\DC-1\HKLM\SAM C:\SAM
The operation completed successfully.
PS C:\Users\...> reg save \\DC-1\HKLM\SYSTEM C:\SYSTEM
The operation completed successfully.

However, when attempting to save the SECURITY hive, reg reports an error message:

PS C:\Users\...> reg save \\DC-1\HKLM\SECURITY C:\SECURITY
ERROR: Access is denied.

Looking at process monitor on the target domain controller, I notice that the error occurs on the RegOpenKey operation, suggesting that reg fails to open the SECURITY hive, rather than saving it in the specified location:

I understand that members of the Backup Operators group are granted the ability to bypass the ACLs of securable objects and thus using a command like reg save, successfully backup an object such as the SYSTEM hive.

Why does this happen? Is there some other restriction I'm not aware of?

Note: The target domain controller is running Windows Server 2022 (10.0.20348 Build 20348).

Format not preserved when pasting text from Google's AI-Generated output to Vim

2026-05-12T15:47:23Z

Please advice, when I paste text from AI-text generated output from the browser to Vim the format is not preserved as the pasted text shows all in one sentence, and it is not structured a it appears in the source text in the browser.

This only happens with text generated from Google's AI since other pasted text like text from a web search is pasted properly as it shows in the browser, or any other source like Word formatted text. I think I have tried most pasting commands and tried also the ":set paste" and ":set no paste" with no success. Please refer to the following example:

Original text from the browser Google's AI Output:

"Why Use Vim for Prose

Modal Editing: Allows for quick maneuvering and editing (Normal mode) versus typing (Insert mode).

Keyboard-Centric: Keeps hands on the home row, increasing efficiency by eliminating mouse usage.

Plain Text Focus: Encourages writing in Markdown or simple text, which is lightweight, non-proprietary, and future-proof."

And this is how the pasted text shows in Vim:

"Why Use Vim for ProseModal Editing: Allows for quick maneuvering and editing (Normal mode) versus typing (Insert mode).Keyboard-Centric: Keeps hands on the home row, increasing efficiency by eliminating mouse usage.Plain Text Focus: Encourages writing in Markdown or simple text, which is lightweight, non-proprietary, and future-proof."

What does quoting text in :has-text() do in uBlock Origin?

2026-03-27T14:39:32Z

uBlock Origin has a procedural :have-text() filter to select elements that contains some text. Up until now, I've been putting quotation marks around my text any time I used it:

example.com##button:has-text("Ask AI")
github.com##.TimelineItem:has-text("/(copilot|gemini)/i")

However, I noticed that other filter lists often exclude the quotation marks.

docs.posit.co#?#.nav-item:has-text(Ask AI)
www.google.com#?#.VwJg8d:has-text(AI Shopping)

My filters seem to behave the same when I remove the quotation marks, but I don't know if they have some use I'm unaware of, like if certain special characters behave differently when unquoted. I'd like to remove the quotes if unnecessary, but I'd like to know what they do first.

What do quotation marks do when using :has-text() in a uBlock Origin filter?

Microsoft Word keeps reverting the proofing language of non-English quotations to English

2024-04-07T00:45:05Z

I am writing a commentary on a French publication. My own text is English, but I have a lot of quotations in French, and occasional quotations from German, Greek, and Latin texts. I carefully "Change Proofing Language For (selected text)" in the standard way. At the end of a work session, I close the document. When I open it again, some random assortment of the non-English quotations are flagged as misspelled, and sure enough their proofing languages have reverted to English.

ATT Smart Home Manager "Network Attack Blocked" on server computer?

2023-05-29T18:39:29Z

I am a bit out my league here, as I am not versed in, well, really anything about network, but recently I have realized for the past ~15 days, I have gotten around 10 AT&T warnings that a network attack was blocked on my Windows 10 server for my home.

These are the IP addresses it is warning me of:

45.55.0.19
162.243.145.16
192.241.207.93
192.241.222.29
192.241.198.9
198.199.112.86
192.241.193.50
178.128.151.41
5.39.220.78 
212.83.8.79

Now, I'm not sure if these are false positives, or a genuine "attack" on my network that I need to bring attention to. These all came in over the last 15 days at varying times, even when I was asleep not online at all.

All of them except the last 2 seem to be coming from "DigitalOcean LLC" which seems to be either a datacenter or VPN (IP lookup I'm using doesn't specify). The last 2 are coming back as being not from the US, or "DigitalOcean LLC". I'm not sure if those are related to the others. The last one is coming back as from Russia, which, is honestly a big red flag from me.

The only applications I have running on my server is Chrome Remote Desktop and Python (and some installed modules), as well as pre-installed Windows 10/Lenovo drivers. Also to note, the python script includes pulling a file from Gitlab.

So, my ATT firewall is doing its job, but I would still like to know if this is something that I should/can stop. I have had multiple devices, including windows 10, and have never had this happen. Sorry if this post is kind of jumbled, just curious about this situation and would like to get to the bottom of this.

Changing the mac desktop icon resize shortcut in finder

2023-04-08T16:36:15Z

By default finder has a keyboard shortcut for changing icon size/zoom, ⌘ = and ⌘ -. If you are like me you press these on accident and the result is desktop icons all over the place as the grid overflows. How do you disable this shortcut?

Show seconds in system clock in Windows 11

2022-10-29T03:32:34Z

I like to show seconds in the clock in the notification area of the taskbar (a.k.a. the system tray, the lower right corner of the display).

In Windows 10, I added an item in the registry editor.

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

ShowSecondsInSystemClock (DWORD 32 bit), value = 1

But this method does not seem to work in Windows 11.

Can I do this in Windows 11?

Disable sleep, hibernate, and fast startup using PowerShell in Windows 10

2021-04-17T03:34:46Z

Edit: Skip to the end for the result of my situation

I am trying to figure out how I disabled the sleep, hibernate, and fast startup options in Windows 10, so that I can include them in the PowerShell scripts that I use to set up fresh deployments of Windows. I know that it is possible to do all 3 of these things using only PowerShell commands because I did it myself about a month or two ago on my desktop, but I cannot remember how I did it and cannot find it online anymore after an hour of google searching.

Note of clarification: When I say "disabled", I don't mean just unchecked the box, I mean that the options are no longer shown in Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options -> System Settings and are also hidden or removed from both the power menu in the Start menu and the "Windows key+X" menu

As I said before, I did it myself a month or so ago, so I know that it is possible to do this using only commands in an Administrator PowerShell. I suspect it involves powercfg -h off and/or some kind of registry tweaks.

Examples

Here are some examples of what the intended result looks like. These screenshots were taken on my laptop and desktop, respectively:

On my laptop with a fresh install of Windows, the power options look like this: Example of Power Options with sleep, hibernate, and fast startup enabled

Meanwhile, on my desktop (where I already disabled these things), the power options look like this: Example of Power Options with sleep, hibernate, and fast startup disabled

Edit:

It turns out I was being stupid and forgot that I had disabled these things globally in the VM host.

A quick powercfg -a revealed the following:

The following sleep states are not available on this system:
    Standby (S1)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        The hypervisor does not support this standby state.

    Standby (S2)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        The hypervisor does not support this standby state.

    Standby (S3)
        The hypervisor does not support this standby state.

    Hibernate
        The hypervisor does not support hibernation.

    Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

Linux install on HP Thin client issues and

2017-07-15T08:33:10Z

TLDR: I want to install Linux on a HP thin client, but no matter what I do I get the blinking cursor in the top left.

Sorry if this is not a question for "superuser" - happy to move if it belongs elsewhere

Background

I'm a web developer who is confident on the command line. Once the command line is there, I am content. I prefer a flavour of Debian. I've set up several Raspberry Pi's in my time and use Linux at work on a daily basis.

Objective

I currently have a Pi as my home "hub". Running scripts and generally helping out. It's not powerful enough for the next step for me which is to run Plex (which is currently running on my NAS) and to be a VPN gateway for devices in my home.

I've picked up a HP T5740 to handle this. I've upgraded the RAM to 4GB. It has an Intel Atom 1.6ghz processor

Why I need help

The computer had 2gb of flash storage as it's "hard drive" which I didn't consider enough for me. I did some googling and found using USB SD card reader was the cheapest, best solution for me at the moment. The computer does have SATA connector, so my plan was to install on an SD card then eventually pick up a STATA -> SD card connector to increase the speed. So I'm currently installing Linux on a16gb SDHC card.

I've attempted to install Debian 9 two times now and both times have resulted in a "successful installation". Upon reboot, I just get the blinking cursor in the top right - which I understand to be an error.

To install, I have downloaded the bootloader.img onto a USB stick and the ISO onto a second. During installation, the computer is attached to the network to download the further packages required. This all seems to work fine.

Question time

There are a few questions here - some specific to the issue above, others general questions that I have. Any answers to any of them would be hugely appreciated.

Is Debian 9 the best version of Linux to install?
Is it wise to install onto an SD card?
What does the blinking cursor actually mean? Is there any way to work out what is erroring?
Is there a better way to install Debian? With Raspbian I flash the actual OS onto the SD card and just boot it up. Is there a way to do do this with Debian?
What makes Raspian specific to Raspberry Pis - is it to do with the processor & hardware?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Configure second wifi router on same LAN as primary?

2015-09-04T15:15:38Z

I bought a second home wifi router to extend my wireless coverage. It has a wired connection to the primary router and is configured with a different SSID. I'd also like the second router to perform more like a switch, fully exposing all connected devices to the others on the primary router's network.

I can't configure the second router as a wireless repeater, the two routers are different brands, and I don't want to install third-party firmware.

How can I configure the routers to make devices behave as if they are on the same local network?

How can I connect to a Juniper Junos Pulse VPN from a Windows 10 PC?

2015-08-11T11:23:51Z

Just upgraded to Windows 10. I used to be able to configure Juniper VPN connection on Windows 8.1 natively without any additional software. "Juniper Networks Junos Pulse" was listed in Windows 8.1's VPN configuration screen.

In Windows 10, it is no longer an option.

Is this a problem with my installation? Or does it require additional software now?

New motherboard, audio device detected, but no sound heard

2014-11-16T11:28:44Z

I had a PC with an old motherboard and CPU (ASUS A7V8X + Intel Core2Duo). Some days ago I decided to upgrade Motherboard, CPU and RAM.

I bought an ASUS H61M-K and an Intel core i3-3220, with a 1600MHz 4GB RAM module from Corsair. My old graphics card (ATI 3870) and hard disks were compatible with the new motherboard, so I did not upgrade them.

I built my new PC, installed Windows 7 and installed everything that was on the motherboard install CD (including the Realted HD Audio driver). Everything works fine, except for the audio.

If I open the Realtek control panel and plug/unplug speakers, I can see that them are being recognized (windows also says "A new jack has been plugged in"), but I hear no sound if I try to play some music.

Why? Is there any particular setup that I should do on my motherboard to make sound work?

How to fix windows 8 startup black screen?

2014-04-18T04:57:07Z

Issue: I have a Dell laptop on which I have installed windows 8 but the problem is whenever I start the laptop, it behaves normally until after windows logo screen with loading circle beneath it. When that screen fades out, a black screen fades in.

Workaround: I hit the power button, it sleeps and when I press power button once again, it works and the desktop appears.

Question: Why does it happen and how to fix that?

I only have the "Keep Text Only" option when pasting in Outlook

2014-02-28T12:22:33Z

A couple of days ago I changed my Outlook 2010 default settings for pasting, so they all used "keep text only". I now regret that decision and have changed the settings back to the defaults.

However, on pasting I only have the option to paste as Text. The other options are not available.

So far I have

Removed Skype click to call
Repair install of Office
File - Options - Mail - Editor Options - Advanced - Cut, Copy and Paste changed all settings to defaults
In the same page, checked "Show paste options button when content is pasted"
Disabled Evernote add-in (just in case)
Rebooted

This is the same problem as here, but in Outlook instead of Excel

Why message "All your photo sources are hidden. To show some, change your settings" appears whenever I try to display a photo on windows 8

2013-12-18T06:04:32Z

I cannot display the screen. Maybe because every time I try to open a picture, I get the above message.

I saw a "solution" on youtube, but going to settings does not give me and "options" option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucQyJyXOPdY

How can I convert GitHub-flavored markdown to a PDF?

2013-12-16T11:52:11Z

I have recently started learning Markdown for use with documentation, and need to print out a few of my Markdown pages.

I would like to use a command-line, Terminal, etc. utility that allows me to convert GitHub-flavored Markdown to PDF. It needs to have proper syntax highlighting and should not look horrible.

How to uninstall gcc from source?

2013-10-22T16:24:44Z

For fun, I compiled and installed gcc 4.7.2 in ~/build, which contains bin, doc, lib, include, man, share, et al. directories, all of which are added to the appropriate environment variables.

Now I want to remove it, so it can stop shadowing my v4.4.7 /usr/bin/gcc with all its associated libraries and whatnot (whatever they may be), but, of course, the GCC make files offer no uninstall target, and find ~/bin -iname "\*gcc*" turns up quite a bit.

Is my only option to set the prefix to some temporary directory, run the installation again, then use than new set of files as a guide for deleting the old ones? Or is there a better way?

This is on Springdale Linux 6.4 (Pisa), kernel 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64, and I do not have root access.

Install OpenSSH on Drobo 5N

2013-09-17T20:40:36Z

The DroboPorts site says that it is possible to install apps onto the Drobo 5N, but I understand the Drobo 5N only supports Copy and Plex right now and cannot install other apps.

Could someone please advise how I can get SSH installed on a Drobo 5N? Cannot find relevant instructions anywhere.

How to fix incorrect margins when printing from Windows 7?

2011-03-03T23:07:22Z

My printer is a HP Photosmart 2575. When I print from my Windows XP the margins are all ok, but when I print from my Windows 7 laptop the top margin is 2x larger for the same document, and as a result the bottom is cropped.

I've already found one (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-and/Deskjet-5150-printer-incorrect-margins-with-Vista-64-bit/td-p/103166) thread in HP forums from someone that seems to have the same problem than me, but no solution is provided.

My Windows 7 is the Home Premium x64.

Can anyone help me?

Not getting any output from video card or onboard- is my motherboard dead?

2010-11-02T19:54:11Z

Probably a lost cause, but I thought I'd ask before I start replacing hardware.

I have a desktop that's been boxed up for a while, and when I set it back up I wasn't getting any video output. I pulled out the PCIE card and cleared the CMOS, then it started working fine with the onboard GPU. I assumed the card was bad, since I had problems with that model in the past. Then after a day or two the system locked up and I had to do a hard shutdown. Now I'm not getting any video from the onboard either. I cleared CMOS again, tried with and without the card in place, nothing. When I power up the CPU fan spins, but I don't see any other signs of life. The hard drive access light doesn't seem to come on either, which makes me think that this is not just a video problem, but I'm not sure what BIOS does if it can't detect any video device.

EDIT: Interesting development. At Xantec's suggestion I disconnected everything, which worked. I then started reassembling it piece by piece, and I now have everything back together- even the video card and other peripherals that were not attached before- and it's working fine. I'm typing from it right now. I have no idea what the problem could have been, but since I didn't narrow it down to anything I'm afraid it will just happen again.

Display File Count and Subfolder size in Windows Explorer

2010-09-22T15:38:20Z

Let's say I have Explorer open with the folder tree structure in the left-hand pane, and the subfolders and files in the right-hand pane.

Is there a way that I can see the number of files under the folder, and the total size of all data in the subfolder in the right-hand pane?
