I’m installing #Linux for someone.
When I (try to) boot it, the computer (old dell laptop) says “Operation System Not Found”.
However, GRUB is installed: if I add in a #openSUSE USB and select “boot from hard disk” the installed grub opens and I can boot the system normally!! I need the pendrive only to select “boot from hard drive” - then it opens the installed grub and I can just remove the pendrive and boot.
It only isn’t opening Grub automatically apparently? Tho the BIOS doesn’t let me select a specific partition, only “hard drive”.
Legacy BIOS, MBR.
It’s a Dell XPS L511Z
Any ideas?
Relevant: Fedora installer wasn’t detecting any disks. So we installed openSUSE dual boot with windows (it worked, the only problem was grub didn’t detect windows). They wanted to try deleting the disk to see if fedora would detect it. Opening Gparted, apparently it was a RAID (even tho only 1 disk). Someone else deleted the disk (new partition table).
From then on, any distro we installed had the problem I mentioned.

#OTD on March 13th 2020 my school in San Jose, Willow Glen High School, announced a “two weeks break” in light of the Covid pandemic. Little did we know that this was the beginning of a nation wide lockdown causing this school to close for over a year.
In this video you can see us celebrating this decision as we thought all it would mean was less homework - be careful what you wish for!

A video of me secretly filming in class sometimes pointing my phone down so you can only see the table. A student opens the door only to be greeted by more celebrating students.

I've worked on community groups for a long long time, and the only good thing I can say about most codes of conduct is that their existence proves the group fought past the army of dudes who think they get in the way of important things like letting them dominate the group.
But seriously, most codes of conduct are worth about one bit of information: "has cared at all (y/n)”
There's a single code of conduct document that was extremely influential by being designed to be copy-and-pastable: the document was given a specific name, work was done to propagate the idea that all you had to do was adopt it as-is. Drop in and ready to go!
The only problem there is that doesn't work. A long, legalistic set of rules about what's Not Allowed with no actual policy for enforcement invites a bunch of problems: a long list can be treated as exhaustive, so people will do things not on the list then cry foul when you tell them to stop. A lack of enforcement policy invites a binary approach: is a person good (did nothing on the list) or bad (did something on the list)? If they're bad, kick them out, if they're good, keep them.
This is bad.
The actual rules that will be enforced will be much more subtle, will favor people in positions of power, and will not yield results consistent with the stated values of various factions of the group. Arguments will ensue about whether or not something "really counts" as an item on the list, because often the actual decision being made but not explicitly stated is “do we kick out some important person to the group for some broken way they relate to others in the group?”
The other way they get used is "here's a person doing something some part of the group doesn't like, which rule can we use to kick them out?”
These are both broken approaches that don't actually reflect the relations of the group, and they lead to punitive and destructive methods of enforcement, rather than healing and reparative methods. This leads to conflict within the group being turned into a code of conduct violation while at the same time allowing outsiders to weaponize the code of conduct by provoking those conflicts.

@… Do you only want the latest version or are you comparing the version number with your local copy and only fetching if you don't have it?
If you just want the latest and do not care about local copies, I have an even easier way
