  • Though it definitely has something to do with Bazzite also, because previously I had Ubuntu installed in that exact location on the disk. Honestly, I’m currently not impressed by Fedora Desktop and its Spins (Bazzite being a special version of Fedora Atomic). I also have problems with my other fedora desktop installations, that I didn’t have with Ubuntu. I contemplate on keeping Bazzite for gaming (because now that its installed that seems to work great) and move to Debian for everything else (trying if that works as good as Ubuntu without snap, that gave me headaches multiple times)








  • Today I tried this. The original EFI partition is 1.4 GiB, which should be big enough; I tried nonetheless. The installer has a partioning helper (available through the tree dots menu), though that didn’t show any disks. I had to use gparted to create the partitions. The mentioned error didn’t appear again after I used this partioning:

    The boot and esp flags where necessary for the installer to accept the EFI partition.

    Though I got another error later in the process:

    NoneType object has not attribute path

    The new EFI partition was completely empty afterwards (checked through my Ubuntu). No grub boot menu entry either.


  • Yes. First I tried having 2 partitions (/boot and /) then I tried to build an additional EFI partition (/boot, /boot/efi and /). Though I could not create the partitions in the installer, since the storage helper (which is reachable through the tree dots menu) didn’t show any storage devices (though gparted and lsblk had no problems seeing them). I then created the partitions using gparted

    In fact then the mentioned error didn’t appear. Instead I got a different error at a later stage:

    NoneType object has not attribute path

    The newly created EFI partition stays empty (I checked by mounting it with my working Ubuntu). And there is no entry in the grub2 boot menu for Bazzite













  • Wow, thats one kind of a project. I’m impressed. Though it doesn’t really fit my problem. It has to be something webbased, where everyone of us can use it without an app, without seeing each others information. From the github page it looks like a local tool. And also focused trading similar items. The presents in our secret santa are highly individualized, so randomly trading does not make much sense. And if the interface is too clunky, my non-tech siblings will just reject using it. I want to keep them from deciding for some free privacy nightmare app.

    But I thank you for the suggestion. Its an interesting project


  • Security noob here. Would it be sufficient (in addition to only local authorized access) to directly put the file in an unprivileged container, watching its log output? And of course limiting resource use and execution time of the container (don’t know if common container tools like docker or podman have a way to limit resources out of the box)

    So lets say a simple interface for the file upload behind an authentication service, based on lets say python cgi, ramping up an unprivileged nonroot docker container, killing the container after a fixed time (a few seconds).
