rsync

Came here for this.

I made a dump folder on sync thing. When I want to share a file or 12, move it the dump folder and presto - the files are moved.

But yes, a USB drive is still very good for transfer, especially lots of files to other people.

took this image 2 years ago when being there on holiday. We went back last year, to enjoy the absolutely beautiful nature scene in which we found the salamander, only to see it having become a construction site for a new road…

I usually just use Bluetooth cuz I’m only transferring an image or two over. But if it’s something big, I just use USB transfer because when the phone is plugged into the computer, it appears as an external drive.

Using this double sided boy seems like it would be putting a lot of weight on the USB port… 🤔

AscendantSquid ,

I think it’s a flash drive; you plug it into your phone, load files onto it, unplug it then plug it into the computer.

I use KDE connect…

But my grandfather does the ol reliable method for image upload, which is:

  1. emails it to himself
  2. prints the email off
  3. scans the printout into his computer again
  4. uploads image to faceboom Facebook

I typo’d Facebook originally but thay was too good to get rid of so I just strikethrough’d it

Lemminary ,

scans the printout into his computer again

Your grandpa got the memo that inhales IT NEEDS MORE JPEG! And took it one step further.

Sounds eerily similar to what my mom does to save receipts, minus the facebook part

As far as I can tell, DaVinci Resolve is not available in a Debian/Ubuntu package. The standard installer, designed for Red Hat, doesn’t seem to interact with the package manager either. This makes me think some kind of wrapper script you downloaded from the internet was the culprit here.

There are some guides online that will make Resolve into a package, but they seem to be pulling all kinds of weird tricks. I would not recommend using those guides without some kind of backup and recovery tool set up for your computer.

It’s hard to tell what exactly got removed, so I don’t know what you need to reinstall. If you use a tool like Timeshift or Snapper, now would be the time to restore a previous system snapshot. If you don’t, you’ll need to do the recovery manually. Either way, this isn’t an easy fix, especially if this was caused by a script like MakeResolveDeb which seems to also modify other system files.

To get a running Kubuntu install back, you basically have two options: either use the command line to sudo apt install every package you notice missing (sudo apt install dolphin konsole…) to reinstall them, or, what I would do in your case, do a clean reinstall to get everything back in working order. First make a copy of your entire home folder (and any other folder you may want to save) to another drive, then do a clean install, and copy the files back to where they’re supposed to be.

If you can’t log in, try logging into the console (ctrl+alt+f3, type username and password when prompted). From there, you can run a command like sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop. That should fetch most Kubuntu files it it installs successfully. If it refuses because of package conflicts, you’ll need to remove the conflicting packages first (i.e. sudo apt remove davinci-resolve if apt complains about kubuntu-desktop conflicting with Resolve).

A reinstall is probably quicker and easier, but you’ll need to make sure to copy over everything (including hidden files!) you may need off the broken system. You can do this from the Kubuntu installer by running the “try kubuntu” option when prompted and simply launching a file manager. Any system modifications you made to your system (additional drivers and programs, configuration) will need to be made again. If you haven’t messed with the system too much, this shouldn’t take long; all you need is to install your old programs, and the config files from your backup should leave you right where you left off.

As for system snapshot tools:

If you’re comfortable with messing around with partition layouts, I highly recommend looking into setting up BTRFS+TimeShift; it could undo the damage in seconds after rebooting.

Unfortunately, Kubuntu doesn’t offer this tool as a simple option in the installer, so there’s a bit of manual work involves to get it to work, and if you don’t know what BTRFS is you may not want to deal with that nerd shit.

I think setting the partition type to btrfs during setup is all you need to do (that, and installing timeshift of course), but I haven’t verified that this still works.

EvolvedTurtle OP ,

I’m lucky enough to have other systems around to back up the drive with for the reinstall

I am absolutely going to fiqure out how it set up timeshift now

IR data connection.

Print out on paper & scan it into the computer.

Copy the data into the computer in binary with an electron gun directly to SSD.

Recreate the data from scratch.

Install desktop os onto your phone & use it as your main rig to eliminate the need to transfer data in the first place.

Use an USB cable to connect the phone to a floppy drive & copy the data to floppy discs. And enjoy the asmr sounds as you do so.

Bluetooth if all else fails, but using a2dp dial-up frequencies.

Accept that there is no convenient way to transfer data & just live without it.

Natanael ,

There’s gigabit IrDA these days FYI, if you can find the adapters…

Evil_Shrubbery ,

… oh, TIL.

Outside of regular simple-command remotes I only ever used IR data transfer between my PC and Nokia 3650 (bcs the proprietary connector had shitty contacts).

And it was slower than any of other methods previously listed.
(I don’t actually remember, but less than 100kbps I think, about half the theoretical max iirc, some of which was the phone and the memory cards fault too)

DaCrazyJamez ,

Place phone on scanner and scan each screen

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Oh, that’s a good one, high tech, no need for extra data conversion on the PC, works for transferring videos as well :D

Scubus ,

Take your phones hard drive out and add it as an external hard drive

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Nokia N91 actually had a hard drive (like literally a spinning hard disc drive).

So the method is valid, albeit a bit easy.

MonkderVierte ,

SD cards are still a thing.
