I had completely forgotten how bad it was. I'll edit my previous comment to fix that error.

There was a few things, I can't remember all of the details but here's what I remember:

The CEO was arrested for abusing his wife.

One of their content creators, James Ryan Haywood, was accused of having very inappropriate interactions with multiple fans. Some of which being of questionable age.

There were also staff members who alleged that there was a toxic work environment. I don't remember if it was misogyny, racism or both.

Then there were allegations that the team that worked on RWBY were severely underpaid, with most of them not getting paid at all.

Something kind of ironic, is that a lot of the YouTube channels I used to watch have at some point had some pretty terrible things come out about them, mostly after I had already stopped watching them. Boogie2988, Mini Ladd, GeePM and Rooster Teeth are some of the ones I can remember.

For Boogie and Mini Ladd, I don't remember the specific reason I stopped watching them but I do know that I stopped watching them well before all of the information about them was released.

For Rooster Teeth, there was only two things I watched them for and that was Fails of the Week, which they silently canceled and never gave a reason why, and the other was RWBY which they decided to move it from YouTube to their own website which was so terrible that the episodes would have severe buffering issues at 240p. I don't remember what the last volume was that I watched but I know I never watched everything.

For GeePM, I watched him pretty much up until the day when he tried to cancel Vinny (Vinesause). In response, people were quick to bring out information about some pretty terrible things that GeePM was doing behind the scenes. I don't think I've ever seen a YouTuber just completely vanish from the internet that quickly.

I know for sure that there are more but those are the ones I remember the most and think they are the most notable.

I might try that later if the issue comes back up. Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed it. I did at the time think it was an issue with my HDD but disks wont let me check the filesystem because it can't unmount a filesystem that is in use.

It seems to be working now, so I might not need to try that. Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed the issue.

Right now it seems to be working fine, so I'll try that later if I have issues again. Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed it.

I'll try that if the issue happens again because right now it seems to be working. Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed it.

I just saw your edit, the closest to "remove duplicate dependencies" is "remove duplicate entries", is that it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The closest thing I see to "clear packages" is "remove foreign packages", is that it? For the mirror, am I supposed to change the Linux Mint mirror or the Ubuntu mirror? It's telling me to change the Linux Mint mirror but you mentioned "Jammy", so which one am I supposed to change?

 

Edit: Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and at least for now, it seems to be working. So I probably wont need help with this anymore, hopefully.

Every hour or two, the Update Manager keeps giving me an error message saying that my APT configuration is corrupt and that I should switch to another Linux Mint mirror. It usually goes away when I do a manual refresh but it just keeps coming back. I have also tried switching to a different mirror but I get the same error. It also tells me to run apt-get update but even if I add "sudo" it just gives me an error message saying to run apt-get update.

It happened again so I'm adding screenshots in case they help. The first is the initial error, then it's the error I get when I try to change the repository and the third is the error I get when I try running the command it suggested:

I think it's that they always turn from full color to "black and red" when they get too stressful for me.

It's been a while since I've played either Runescape or OSRS and my accounts were never upgraded to Jagex accounts, if I upgrade one of them to a Jagex account, is it possible to link my other account to that same Jagex account?

 

I recently found out about a Linux Distro named Q4OS and I wanted to test out their claim that it only requires 256 MB of ram when using the trinity desktop environment. However, when I used the live cd in virt-manager with 256 MB or ram, it just kernel panicked at boot. So I then tried it with 512 MB of ram. In addition to some issues that are not present when you are using at least 1 GB of ram, such as "sudo apt update" causing the entire VM to become unresponsive, I noticed that it seemed to actually use anywhere between 290 MB to 370 MB of ram when the only thing running was the process viewer (which is htop).

Obviously, this is still very low for a modern Linux distro but I was wondering how accurate VMs are for testing ram usage.

And, yes I know that it would be pretty much useless on a PC that only had 256 MB of ram even if it did work. I'm actually checking the ram usage because there is a possibility that I may be using a very old computer of mine that only has 1 GB of ram at some point in the future. So I'm just testing it and eventually other distros out to to see which one I'm going to end up using (assuming I do actually end up even using that computer).

Edit: I just tried the 32-bit version in virt-manager and htop stated it was only using 232 MB of ram, which means that their claim was right and that I might have been using the wrong version.

Edit 2: I just tried installing the 64-bit version in virt-manager and htop stated that it was using about 350 MB of ram, so I don't know if installing it actually made a difference.
