Can't boot Clonezilla image from Surface Go 1 to Acer Apire 5737z
Hi everyone,
I have a finely tuned Fedora 40 image that I cloned using Clonezilla (see: sh.itjust.works/post/25762756)
I wanted to deploy it on my old Acer Aspire 5737z but it won’t boot. It’s just displaying a — on a black screen for hours.
I’m not so knowledgeable but I guess it means I would have to reinstall the GRUB or whatever.
I’ve booted into my Fedora Live USB and tried the lsblk command people were talking about on the web (I don’t understand the terminal). Here's the result.
I think the SDA disk is the one I would like to boot from.
Can anyone help me understand what I have to do 😇🙏

Målet med kriminalpolitiken måste vara att minska brottsligheten, inte att spärra in så många som möjligt i fängelse. En kriminalpolitik inriktad på att fängsla så många personer som möjligt för så lång tid som möjligt är en misslyckad kriminalpolitik. Det minskar nämligen inte brottsligheten vilket tydligt kan åskådliggöras av exemplet USA.

Interstate is closed outside Atlanta as residents evacuate due to a chemical plant fire
Some residents east of Atlanta were evacuated while others were told to shelter in place Sunday to avoid contaminants from a chemical plant fire that sent a massive plume of dark smoke high into the sky that could be seen from miles away.
Interstate 20 was shut down in both directions in the area, the Georgia Department of Transportation said in a post on X. Reports said traffic was snarled as vehicles backed up in the area after the closure.
The fire ignited when a sprinkler head malfunctioned around 5 a.m. Sunday at the BioLab plant in Conyers, Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel told reporters. The malfunction caused water to mix with a water-reactive chemical, producing a plume of chemicals.

Yep. While simple to prepare, this will affect almost nobody, as it requires the user to perform an increasingly rare action in a world that's often going paperless.
Also, the likelihood that a regular user will expose port 631 to the internet is probably close to zero. There's several uncommon pieces that have to be in place for this to work, to the point that it's not a simple matter to execute this exploit.
this will affect almost nobody
Is that really true? From evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Atta…
Full disclosure, I’ve been scanning the entire public internet IPv4 ranges several times a day for weeks, sending the UDP packet and logging whatever connected back. And I’ve got back connections from hundreds of thousands of devices, with peaks of 200-300K concurrent devices.
The very next sentence:
Note that everything that is not Linux has been filtered out [in this filtered list of unique IPs]. That is why I was getting increasingly alarmed during the last few weeks.
They said they were getting duplicates and non-*nix hits with that 300k number, which doesn't help them (i.e. the hundreds of thousands of hits was artificially inflated). So yes, the threat is overblown.
Coupled with the fact that patches are already out, and it's easily mitigated by closing 631, and I don't expect this will be much of a problem for most people.
How's that? If I'm running a Windows machine, how would a CUPS exploit affect me?
I'm not asking maliciously, but I genuinely don't grasp how that could be a viable attack vector.
Say I host a malicious server with ipv6 only. You visit the site without NAT. I get your ip and ip:631 is open (unless firewall and listen is restricted to prefix). Usual attack afterwards.
Edit: You need to have ipv6, for example many mobile networks.
I have full IPv6, none of my ports that I haven't explicitly whitelisted in the firewall can be accessed from the Internet. I can open a host completely, but it's not default. This is on the most common brand of consumer routers here.
Just because it's not NATted doesn't mean there's no firewall in place.
Yeah ofcourse firewall is the good idea here. I personally have firewall on on every device so that I can manage what can connect and from where.
The point is though often people just disable firewalls (some distros do not install/enable by default too) to workarround certain issues quickly like kdeconnect not connecting, bridge not working and such.
That's how I think the whole 'ipv4 NAT is the best (consumer) firewall' concept came popular.
I don't know why the guy just assumed every linux and BSD machine runs cups-browsed by default?
It took me literally 5 seconds to check that it's disabled on Fedora by default.
Then he wrote a whole paragraph about how no one should use CUPS for printing because based off of his own analysis, it's some insanely crappy and insecure system.
Which is actually stupid because the only alternative is windows?????????? Which is universally known for printer driver and spooler vulnerabilities.
Then he got mad the the maintainer for patching before his disclosure.....
I made a script that configures Ubuntu (mainly its GNOME) the way I like it. I also made it work in Debian and Fedora.
It doesn't do any crazy ricing, as I mostly focused on usability tweaks and automatic installation of my must-have extensions. (Tiling, clipboard manager, dash to dock, desktop icons)
Most notable tweaks include:
- clicking on a running app minimizes it
- clicking on a group of apps brings up their previews
- adds minimize, maximize buttons to windows
- installs flatpak, adds flathub
- install flatpak and snap plugins into gnome-software (doesn't work on Fedora)
- installs snap
- installs mtp-tools and gvfs-backends on Debian to be able to transfer files from a connected phone
- adds right click > New File
- Super + Shift + S brings up the area screenshot
- Super + E opens the file manager
- Ctrl + Alt + T opens the terminal
(Those already configured on Ubuntu don't get configured again, obviously.)
I also recorded a short showcase to prove that it works without errors youtu.be/xf739ivb9hg

Anyone know if the MX creative console from logitech works on Linux (and to what degree?
I kinda want to hook one up to raspberry pi for some home control, but I'm not sure if the software to configure it works on Linux (or how it even presents itself HID-device wise)
I'm sure it'll eventually be reverse engineered and have some custom drivers on github soon, but a quick google came up empty for this new device.
Edit: Oh I just realized this hasn't been released yet, I saw the "buy now" button and assumed it was.
MX Creative Console - Customizable Dial and Keypad | Logitech
Streamline your creative workflow with intuitive controls. Maximize precision with the dialpad and access countless customization through the LCD keys of the keypad.www.logitech.com
It's $269.99 and has 9 programmable buttons. It's designed to control rent-seeking apps like Photoshop.
The Streamdeck XL costs $200 and has 32 programmable buttons. I'm using it to control my dorm room through Home-Assistant, and my robot camera through Bitfocus Companion.
Logitech does not support Linux.
Most of the current compatibility of Logitech devices comes from, Linux devs reverse engineering their software, USB standards or from default programing stored in the device.

Mandelbrot Viewer: a cool program that renders the Mandelbrot Fractal
Hello everyone! This is a small program I made yesterday to render the Mandelbrot Fractal with beautiful colors!
It isn't as fast as other programs (e.g. XaoS) but it is the first good program I have made using OpenGL. I may update it to render some other fractals too in the future (e.g. The Burning Ship).
I hope you like it!

This has always been the whole point behind the Trojan Horse that is systemd. Now that Poettering/Red Hat control the entire userspace across virtually all distros, he/they can use it as a vehicle to force all of them to adopt whatever bullshit
he thinks of next.
This is what the Linux ecosystem gave away when they tossed their simple init system to adopt the admittedly convenient solution that is systemd. But in reality, the best solution was always to drop init, and instead replace it with an alternative that was still simple to replace if the need should arise. But now that everyone is stuck on systemd, they're all at the mercy of Poettering's Next Stupid Idea.
Convenience comes at a price. systemd is the Google Chrome of Linux userspace. Get out while you can.

askubuntu.com/a/831241
#1 thing I noticed in your image is that lsblk only shows you partitions, and doesn't mount them. You probably want /dev/sda3 mounted at /mnt
The only thing from the article you want to modify is using
mount -B /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /mnt/sys/efi/efivars, I believe the functionality changed since that article was written and that's what worked for meAdditionally, if you drive is formatted as btrfs instead of ext4, once you mount your drive your root will most likely be at /mnt/admin or similar. Mount subdirectories to that folder instead of /mnt
If you have questions lmk and I'll get back to you at some point today

in reply to Nate • • •Thanks for the help but I don’t understand anything from the message on askubuntu.
I’ve tried the sudo mount/dev/sda3 /mnt part though..
Sorry for my lack of terminal skills
Nate
in reply to Dariusmiles2123 • • •That's alright, I'll do my best to walk you through it.
Your drive contains multiple partitions (/dev/sda1 through /dev/sda3).
One of these drives is going to be your EFI partition. This is what your system can read before linux boots, your BIOS can't understand ext4 / btrfs / etc, but it can understand fat32.
If you run
lsblk -no FSTYPE /dev/sda1it should return vfat if that's your EFI partition. That's what we're going to mount to /mnt/boot/efiI'm assuming that /dev/sda3 is your data partition, e.g. where your linux install is. You can find the filesystem format the same way as your EFI partition.
Edit: After determining which partition is which, you're going to want to mount the root partition, and then the EFI partition

As such, to be able to properly chroot into an offline install, we need to make binds from our running system to the offline system. That's what's achieved by running
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; doneThis is just a simple loop that mounts /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, and /run to your offline install. You're going to want to either add /sys/firmware/efi/efivars to that list, or mount it (with -B, which is shorthand for --bind, not a normal mount).
Once you've done this, you should be able to successfully chroot into /mnt (or /mnt/root if running btrfs)
At this point, you should be able to run your grub repair commands.

in reply to Dariusmiles2123 • • •Apologies, I think I got a bit ahead of myself in the description.
Once you've determined which partition is which (in your case, /dev/sda1 does appear to be the EFI partition, and /dev/sda3 appears to be your root partition), you need to mount them in this order

in reply to Dariusmiles2123 • • •Hey there!
It sounds like you’re on the right track! The black screen with a dash usually means the bootloader (GRUB in this case) might need some love. So, you’ll likely need to reinstall GRUB on your old Acer.
Here's a simple way to do it from your Fedora Live USB:
lsblkto confirm that your old Acer’s drive is/dev/sda.sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt(Make sure
/dev/sda1is the correct partition; adjust if needed).sudo grub2-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdasudo grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfgIt sounds a bit like magic (or some weird old ritual), but it should help your Acer find its way. Give it a shot! If it doesn’t work, let us know exactly what you see. We’ve got your back!

Sadly it ain't working. I guess the GRUB installing part which is problematic.
