Looking for specific software in Debian repos

derezion · 05-09-2024, 03:35 PM

Okay, I just ran that command. However, I'm not worried about drive space being wasted. I'm wrried that my system is cracked. The thing is I don't know if I never paid attention or it's been a long time since I have, but I never recall these kind of numbers. All I installed was PCManFM, Firefox ESR, GNOME Calendar, and Geany.

I looked up the Folder properties of my root on Crostini (Debian environment on ChromeOS), and it says:
Total size of files: 256.0 TiB
Size on disk: 3.4 GiB
The second number seems reasonable, but I can't explain the first.
Sorry, if this belongs in the ChromeOS forum on LQ.

try

Code:

sudo parted -l

and

Code:

df-h

and

Code:

 sudo blkid -i /dev/sda

If wondering if hard drive drive specs were hacked.

Code:

smartctl -help

Comes in handy also.

What is this supposed to do?:

Code:

sudo parted -l

First my terminal doesn't show any output and then when I try sudo parted
It says:

Code:

Error: No device found
Retry/Cancel?

And when I run parted it says:

Code:

-bash: parted: command not found

What does df -h or sudo blkid -i /dev/sda supposed to do?
I downloaded GSmartControl (apparently the GUI frontend for smartctl), but it won't launch.

As far as where non-standard software veneers software package repositories are kept in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder which is where traditionally stored in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/repo.list so in this situation the file would be /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Vivaldi.list.

friendlysalmon8827,
Thank you for that tip about /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and the other information regarding repo.list, but I don't have Vivaldi installed. I installed Firefox ESR.
