I was running `xen-create-image` when it failed near the end trying to
`umount` the `/tmp/SoMeThInG/proc` mount that it had created. `findmnt`
showed me that it was mounted on itself, as was `/proc`!
I got it unmounted with `--lazy`.
I'm guessing that the Xen script was merely copying what it sa
What happened with my CMOS battery?
I buy a new CMOS battery, replace the old battery and configure the
date/hour through the BIOS, save the configuration and restart the machine.
Start the operating system, the system loads but then restart and the
date/hour is disconfigured.

Hi,
Is anyone running an Nvidia card on a CPU that does not support
POPCNT?
I have been reading about Blue Screens of Death being experience by
Windows users due to Nvidia drivers not supporting CPUs which do not
have support for POPCNT.
I am wondering if this issue will affect Linux users

Hello all,
I still occasionally burn some CDs and DVDs.
In previous Debian releases, when you right-clicked on a .iso file in
Nautilus, there used to be a "Write to Disc..." option in the menu. In
Bookworm, the option is gone (see attached image).
Is there a way to bring it back? Maybe by installin
