[13:41] @diogenes_, uhm [13:42] @diogenes_, I made him try wipefs -- all , mkfs.vat etc. but all are giving same error that Filesystem is read only [13:42] @ri5h46h, yeah [13:42] what usb drive? [13:42] an usb stick fat32 [13:42] @SharGen19, show your lsblk screenshot [13:43] (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/F2L6bsaY/file_39866.jpg [13:44] here [13:45] @diogenes_, .

[13:50] @diogenes_, idk its not my usb thats the issue [13:50] else i wont have care much [13:50] @diogenes_, 50 time only ? [13:50] isn't it so less [13:51] ri5h46h, on some models it dies even sooner than that. [13:51] idk its company's usb stick [13:51] I have a Kingston 8GB USB 2.0 from 2009 and I still make it bootable every week to try different distros [13:51] SharGen19, do you have any windows pc around? [13:51] @diogenes_, yeah [13:51] i have dual boot [13:51] @diogenes_, I suggested him the same thing [13:52] Why might I receive a dozen notifications about needing to restart to complete an update even though I did not update anything? [13:52] but on windows its not loading up [13:52] nor on diskpart cmd nor on disk manager [13:52] Habib KOUAMÉ was added by: Habib KOUAMÉ [13:52] What's the brand of your pendrive ? [13:53] No, its either or [13:53] its just keep on loading and loanding [13:53] SharGen19, you could try some of these tools for a low level format and even firmware update, i managed to resurrect a usb drive this way but long time ago: https://flashboot.ru/files/ [13:53] @ri5h46h, hcl, its company's usb stick for thier employs [13:53] @diogenes_, I can't believe this omg so less [13:54] @SharGen19, I think now it's life is over [13:54] @SharGen19, consider purchasing a new one [13:54] ri5h46h, original kingstones are good brands but you know, newest products last less than older ones, they used to make more durable products in the past. [13:55] @diogenes_, yes that's true [13:56] I also have SanDisk 32 GB PenDrives, they are also performing well, I think they are also formatted more than 50 times [13:57] Tech tip: use a microSD card reader with multiple microSD cards as pendrives. Saves money and you can use them for your phone and stuff [13:58] @jBoi, Who uses sd cards now-a-days in their phones, phones are coming with 64/128/512 GB storage already [13:58] @jBoi, btw, nice tip [13:59] mhm but sdcard are slow than 3.1 usb sticks [13:59] Idk, some people have older phones, some take lots of photos or videos. [13:59] @SharGen19, yes right [13:59] Yeah, I guess [14:00] @SharGen19, what are you planning to do now with your pendrive? [14:01] @ri5h46h, throw it away, its bullshit wasting time trying to fix, idk i just formated it and than was transfer some images and suddenly had an error [14:03] @SharGen19, hmm, [14:03] @SharGen19, Get a better, orignal one now 👍 [14:04] i have an 3.1usb 64 gig usb which offer 100mbps [14:05] @SharGen19, 😎nic [14:05] I have a problem like yours with 2 of my usb sticks [14:08] @smhk1379, I nether can format them nor make a new partition table on them😕 [14:11] @smhk1379, are they also showing as read only ? [14:12] I also had same problem with one of my SanDisk Pen Drive but SanDisk support is awesome and they replaced it with a new one [14:12] personally I prefer gparted to the kpartitioner, the latter is buggy in my experience and indicates corrupted partitions when they are not [14:14] @BluesKaj, aa ! it's good that I haven't faced any issue with KDE Partition Manager till now [14:14] @BluesKaj, will keep this mind :p [14:43] @ri5h46h, I should check them.

I've also been experiencing some overall instability, with plasmashell sometimes "restarting" (desktop goes black, everything slowly comes back on). I've got an NVIDIA gtx960, and i've heard nvidia gpus don't play nice with linux. Anyone knows what to do?
