What Is Kiwix?

Kiwix is a non-profit organization and a free and open-source software project dedicated to providing offline access to free educational content. The name “Kiwix” is a play on the word “Wiki” as it represented our initial goal of making Wikipedia accessible offline.

I found this for standing it up:

Unfortunately not. Seems like an obvious fix, but you lose features, if it even works at all.

It wasn’t exactly hiding. Completely accessible from their git repo. Also a link on their website. One of the first results when searching Google.

selfhost it on my desktop pc (windows) that will keep it updated and working without having to mess with it or do a bunch of command line stuff

You’re on a self-hosting community. If you want to self host, you might have to learn a little something new.

I haven’t read their documentation, but you’re also going to have to make sure you setup your router properly if you want to access it outside your home.

No errors around ‘Generating initramfs’ ?

How long did you let it sit there?

40Gb partition

What filesystem? So just a single / partition?

Have you tried it multiple times?

installation works fine

So the installation completes? And you’re trying to boot into the new OS? I don’t understand when you’re seeing this error if the installation completes?

Yes it does. And my touch monitor has protruded bezel at the bottom. It’s nearly impossible to initiate. Can that gesture be changed? That’s about where I left off on my last attempt.

Does not help with full screen kiosk apps. Its broken. Plain and simple.

The osk fails to pop up when using apps like Cider. Probably something to do with electron.

For both gnome and plasma.

I was really hoping for a better onscreen keyboard solution for Linux. Turns out it’s awful for both Plasma and Gnome.

CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor agent can be and is installed on bare metal, VMs and inside Kubernetes clusters. All running Linux.

is there a use case … on Linux

It’s already installed on Linux, in massive companies all around the globe. Leadership sure thinks so.

Made a decision long ago that I’m not going to browse the web, setup a calendar of life events or store my email with the largest advertising company in the world.

Their “eco system” is not the best and their hardware has been hit or miss over the years.

I understand why people do use them and I will use their products when absolutely required. I don’t hate them, I just avoid them.

Scalable, lab grown meat operations.

Yeah, but our leadership had a really nice lunch with their sales rep! Licenses for everyone!

Is why I can’t use AMD. My primary display is a TV. Yea, there are large monitors with Display Ports, but they didn’t exist until recently and most if not all are inferior to a high quality TV in picture quality.

Great!

If you do fix it, go ahead and update the post with the solution. Help out the next guy.

You left out the NVIDIA card part. This is super important. So you have two kernels in a bad state and the NVIDIA driver is probably not building out.

You’ve got a chicken and egg issue.

This isn’t a technical answer but simply a generalization of what probably needs to happen.

I would start over on whatever kernel situation you have going.

First uninstall the NVIDIA driver.

Then remove that unsigned kernel and its headers. Use the force option if necessary.

Ensure dkms, the base kernel and its headers are installed.

Reboot using standard kernel and then install nvidia-dkms package. Reboot.

It’s tough to tell you exactly what needs to be done because I’m not really sure what kind of damage you did or what the full extent of the errors are. You might need some force options or whatever but generally that’s all that needs to happen. YOU do not have a NVIDIA driver built for whatever kernel you’re using.

Oh. Wow.

Yeah, when asking for help start with what you did.

Your screenshot you posted first. The top command is:

sudo apt install —fix-broken

That means you did something first and then found your way to that command

I used to delete these script to get over errors aaand that worked fine for some time.

I can’t think of one time that I’ve done that in 20 years outside of repackaging applications for work because of crappy vendor supplied packages.

And you’re sure dkms and the headers are installed?

In situations like this, if bad enough I would usually temporarily remove mentioned packages until the apt fix works cleanly again and then reinstall whatever I was trying to do. But you’re saying you have removed post install scripts and manipulated packages? Hmm that seems like trouble.

I’m positive if I was infront of the terminal I could help you out, but I’m starting work for the day. Maybe someone else has a better idea. Sorry bro. But on a positive note, your system is certainly not beyond repair. This seems trivial with a little work and maybe someone who sees the issue better than I right now.

For others taking a look…. What was the command run before the apt fix?

Wow. The terms “nuked” and “bricked” seem to have lost the meaning I grew up with. What you provided is just a simple error.

It says dependency problem. Have you installed the dependency? It says:

Package linux-image-6.9.7+bpo-amd64-unsigned is not installed. … linux-headers-6.9.7+bpo-amd64 depends on linux-image-6.9.7+bpo-amd64 (= 6.9.7-1~bpo12+1) | linux-image-6.9.7+bpo-amd64 -unsigned (= 6.9.7-1~bpo12+1);

Maybe you’re doing too much at once. What happens when you just install the one kernel?

sudo apt install linux-image-6.9.7+bpo-amd64

Or maybe try to uninstall the new kernel and its headers. Make sure you have dkms installed and run the apt fix again.
