#linux question

I have removable #usb drives. When I plugged them in originally, #xfce showed them on the desktop using names like "Cool Drives Inc"

It was formatted ntfs. I deleted the partition and made a new one *with a label*. I also formatted to ext4.

xfce now shows them as "2.0 TB Volume".

Where was it getting that old label/name and why doesn't it read my new label/name?

WHAT TEXT DO I HAVE TO EDIT TO MAKE THIS WORK HOW I WANT

It *has* to be something accessible to #gparted, since that's how I obliterated the old text.

I shouldn't need compute this on the fly with udev or whatever.

Progress... #Guix installed with #Gnome because it makes administration easier. used #gparted to partition the second ssd, and then add a partition to the / btrfs and rebalance converting it to raid1.

next guix pull... when thats done adding bcache-tools and cryptsetup. Then the giant spinning hard drives will be bcached, and the bcache will be turned into encrypted filesystems. i actually have no idea how to get guix to mount the filesystem's using a cleartext key on a partition

#gParted für #Anfänger und #Einsteiger #Partitionen erstellen ändern löschen.

#gParted ist ein universelles Werkzeug zur Gestaltung von Partitionen. Es ist in vielen #Linux #Distributionen deswegen bereits vorinstalliert.
Bei Änderungen an Parititionen ist es unbedings empfehlenswert, vorher eine Sicherung der Festplatte oder Partition anzufertigen.

Dear Friend of the British isles,

In order to free myself from dependency but not comunicada with america I have:

- Tried Blag (in the past) and #Hereitix (well not heretix - website not responding)
- Installed and run #Ubuntu from keydrive
- Created a 5 minute rant on my efforts

Interesting experiment mostly done with #Gparted and a Puppy Linux utility which seems to have gone walkabout. But it did the job without me having to use the command line.  

Why did I do all this? Well the UK is mostly using MS Windows (no screaming from the penguins please) and I need something less CIA biased (Yep am talking about #Tails TOR's)  

Yackity yak later...

Talked my sibling through a Fedora re-install yesterday, using Gparted to delete the failed Fedora partition.

Upgraded to Fedora 43 KDE is a success via Konsole.
