How can I merge the highlighted partition with the 500 GB unallocated space at the end of the drive?
  • Copying all the data elsewhere and re-partition is still the right answer...

    You could possibly get away with copying the data out of the last partition, deleting the last 3 and extending the other one then copying the data back but, as others have said, you seem to have rather too many partitions.

    ETA: there is no way to merge ntfs and ext4 partitions anyway - even without the intervening partitions that are present here. Copy, destroy extend is the only way.

  • Repairable Bike Tips
  • All bikes are repairable, some are more repairable than others. It all depends on how scared you are of getting your hands dirty and how confident you are that you can think your way out of problems.

    My point is that a bike can be really simple and, as such, anything should be possible.

    Modern innovations usually mean a set of tools beyond the basic bike set but the specials are available (bottom brackets are a particular case in point - you use to be able to get away with ponty things and gentle hammering - despite there being tools designed for the job now it's use our tool or forget it)

    So I would avoid anything too new - get a rat bike from a scrappy and learn how it works whilst rebuilding it.

    No bother with swipes (don't usually use them), backspace, predictive text - though word suggestions only appear when I stop the swipe.

  • You are right, it doesn't happen with any other O/S except iOS where you have to pay people/Apple to fix it (or reset the OS) or Windows where the stock response is "reinstall the O/S"

    How valuable is the data on your laptop? Did you have it backed up? If so, stop worrying and just take the Windows approach. If not... Find someone local to you who is able to fix it (good luck with that...)

    As for the rest - you come over as someone who expects someone else to fix your shit for free with no information other than "waaaa it's stopped working"

    Fwiw, based on your brief description of symptoms, I would say your boot device file system is broken somehow. To fix you need to mount it on another booted OS and fsck it (however if it mounts, copy valuable data off onto other media, then fsck it) . How to do that is left to your powers of Google. Not warranting my response in any way.

    Best of luck.

  • Where should I go to get help from experienced people on very specific issues that I can't find a solution for?
  • First up - I know nothing about your specific problem. Let me add some pointers as to why you may be having difficulty...

    You need to provide way more detail than a screenshot (which shows nothing really) and "why is it broken?"

    What is the hardware, what is the boot device, what is the boot loader (and version), what does the boot loader config look like... There could be any number of things that stop the boot, including a corrupt boot file.

    No one is able to diagnose your problem from the information you have provided.

    If you are unwilling to grab a USB stick from a retailer, boot a different OS image and try some diags on your original file system you may well find people reluctant to help (for free...)

  • How does SecureErase work?
  • One thing other answers have missed is that some ssds encrypt data before writing and obviously after reading (this prevents a swap the storage controller type attack) A secure erase on such a device consists of changing the read/write key. Takes milliseconds. Irrevocable (unless you find a way to read previous contents of the key storage)

    Guys

    Voyager native app on Android.

    Anyone else got an issue when scrolling through a thread the rendering flicks all over the place?

    It's random and I can't think of a way to screenshot it. It's like the replies get drawn in one position then jump to where they should be. Sometimes, if I catch it right, sliding up and down with my finger flashes the post/comment on and off...

    Like I say, hard to describe properly.

    Feature request?

    Guys

    Dunno if I am missing something, but I notice that many times a post is cross posted to many communities, resulting in the All feed being full (well not really full but you know what I mean) of what are, effectively, reposts...

    Does voyager have a "hide posts with the same title in different communities" setting somewhere or is that a feature request?

    Printer Offline (not really offline) issue

    Guys

    We have an XYZ DaVinci 1.0 Pro, connected by USB to a Windows 10 PC (latest updates etc.)

    The drivers are all correctly installed (both cameras show up in device manager, the printer shows up in device manager as both a printer and a USB-COM3 device).

    The printer has Firmware 1.2.3 installed (as recommended by XYZ.... not sure if that's a good thing)

    • XYZ Printing does not detect the printer as online;
    • Cura does not detect the printer as online;
    • Pronterface does not detect the printer as online;
    • In a massive turn-up for the books.... Microsoft 3d Builder does see the printer on line and will start a print.

    In device manager the com port seems to be set at 9600,8,n,1. Changing this to (say) 115200 breaks printing in 3d Builder. Changing Pronterface to use 9600 baud makes no difference to connecting to the printer.

    I have changed the USB lead, tried different ports on the PC yadda yadda yadda but no change at all - only Microsoft 3d Builder will see the printer online and print.

    Anyone got any idea at all why everything except Microsoft 3d Builder can't see the printer?
