| Aside from gaming, what are some other things that Windows still does better than Linux? Posted: 18 Sep 2018 12:55 AM PDT I am planning to gradually switch over to Linux, mostly for the customizability and privacy, but what are some things I will be losing? I don't play video games so gaming limitations on Linux isn't an issue for me, but are there other things where Windows is still preferred over Linux? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2018 05:59 AM PDT Title pretty much sums up the question. How big of a risk, or how much risk are you incurring by disabling secure boot on a dual boot system? [link] [comments] |
| Real-life bash scripting excercises Posted: 18 Sep 2018 04:36 AM PDT Hello guys, I'm practicing bash scripting. I did most of the things here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html//writingscripts.html and now I'm left with mostly mathematical equations, which in the real world are not so much common in my opinion. Can you write here examples of things you really needed to do your work and which could actually happen and would be good to know-how to do. *Note Don't write some very sophisticated examples. I don't need to know how to fire a rocket to space with bash, but more Day to day automation tasks. Thank you in an advance, [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2018 12:33 PM PDT Does anyone have a good suggestion for a VM? I'm currently using virtual box to run windows in a VM so I can use office 366 for classes but it's so slow and in the future I plan on running games within a VM so I want to get comfortable with a powerful VM that can use my hardware to the best of it's abilities. Also, this is totally unrelated, but would having a mouse, keyboard, and monitor plugged into a laptop cause enough power draw that the fans actually need to kick on? [link] [comments] |
| SFTP & SSH For Transferring and extracting files. Posted: 18 Sep 2018 10:34 AM PDT Why is it that I you use ssh to pack a folder to zip, but then have to use sftp to transfer it, then on the other end use ssh to unpack the files, can't the sftp not unzip and zip folders? as your having to login and logout of each session yeh I know you can have 2 windows open at one for ssh and the other for sftp.

| Started Operating Systems subject on College. Having trouble intalling sudo Posted: 18 Sep 2018 11:32 AM PDT Hey everyone, first (of may well be many) post here. Here's my dilemma. I've started on this subject today as you read on the title, and was just following the steps and reading some explanations on the operating system we'll be working on, Unix. I installed the virtual machine with 0 problems, and when I was trying to install sudo (for ease of access to certain commands from what I understood?) and I'm getting sol and the guide isn't really helping me. So, here's what I'm dealing with. As you probably have figured, this is the first time I'm dealing with the OS and its terminal, so I have little to no idea what I am looking at. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time. [link] [comments] |

| How to make KDE Neon remember mouse-handedness? Posted: 18 Sep 2018 05:40 AM PDT I set my mouse to left handed mode through System Settings, but whenever I restart my computer it switches back to right handed mode. Any ideas? [link] [comments] |
| Installing Nvidia driver on Debian 9 Posted: 18 Sep 2018 10:06 AM PDT Good afternoon everyone, I just started with Debian 9 this week. I have a lot of issues trying to install the Nvidia driver. I have a laptop with a Nvidia Geforce 840m. I had the following issues: -The first time trying it gave me an error with Nouveau so I had to stop Nouveau in order to install it. After that, it kept giving me the same issue even though I stopped it. -I run the nvida-driver command and it looked like it worked but when I rebooted, it gave me an error saying it couldn't start GNOME. If you have any advice or procedure to make it work I will really appreciate it. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Ubuntu doesn't detect my Wifi Driver. More Advanced alt? Posted: 18 Sep 2018 01:29 PM PDT I installed Ubuntu onto a new machine, which I would like to use just for work. However, I found that even though Windows 10, preinstalled, had it working Ubuntu just doesn't ask or even notice it. No option which makes it hard to install new drivers if there are any. Are there any alternatives to Ubuntu with more drivers? I don't know much about the laptop other than it's a HP and new enough for a USB C. My older HP seems to run fine. Thanks for reading and looking forward to replies :-) [link] [comments] |
| Gesture map keypad and bind key - help with Fusuma and xdotool Posted: 18 Sep 2018 09:30 AM PDT I've just installed my very first Linux on my L470 (Ubuntu 18.04) I have no idea what I'm doing, but I love it. I'm trying to: Bind right click to PrtSc button. It's between right Alt and Ctrl, and I prefer having it as a "menu key". I thought of using xdotool (GitHub | Doc) or xbindkeys (linux.com article), maybe binding "Shift + F10" to it, but I can't find a keycode for it. Gesture map the keypad I like using three finger gesture to control media - tap to pause/play, up/down for vol up/down, left/right to switch track (less important). I tried using Fusuma by following the GitHub ReadMe, but even the default settings don't work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Why do I keep freezing? Debian Stretch w/ Cinnamon, Lenovo Ideapad y470 Posted: 18 Sep 2018 01:07 PM PDT Hi all -- I have an old Lenovo Ideapad Y470 that had some random freezing issues on Windows 7 & 10, so I decided to try Linux on it. Everything works great except I'm still having the same freezes. (The screen stays on, but I can't move the mouse or do anything.) I'm running Debian Stretch w/ Cinnamon. Previously, I tried memtest and ruled out a RAM error, and I've disabled the Nvidia card/switching in BIOS, so I don't think it's either of those components causing the issue. The error also happens on two different HDDs, so it's not that either... It's particularly aggravating because the OS (whichever one I use) doesn't acknowledge an error occurred (see the logs below). I appreciate the help! I realize this isn't strictly an OS issue, but I'm hoping I can use Linux to pinpoint the source of the error! Screenshot of syslog from first crash: Screenshot of syslog from second crash: EDIT: I should add that I wasn't doing anything special during the crashes. The first one was while I was browsing with Firefox, and the other happened several minutes later while I was viewing the logs from the first crash! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2018 09:06 AM PDT Hi all, I have been getting major help from you guys so far : This time, I am struggling with booting into linux mint on my external HDD on Mac Mini 2012. It was working fine until soime time ago, when after the logo coming on, it dropped to shell or the GRUB bootloader failed. I have initially installed rEFInd but it stopped booting as boot manager after an update (I think). Please see attached photo. Please advise as it is becoming a looong process to keep rebooting only to be successfully able to boot into Mint on like the 8th attempt. Thank you so much in advance! Attila [link] [comments] |

| Is Linux always going to remain free and open source? Posted: 18 Sep 2018 12:32 PM PDT Is there any possibility of Linux ever becoming closed source? I'm a Linux noob and have been using linux for almost two months, will all the talk about Linus taking a break and members of Microsoft sitting at board meetings its very worrying to think about. I only want to support free and open source software and fear for Linux becoming overtaken by greed and SJW's [link] [comments] |

| What does Linus Torvalds "temporarily" walking away from Linux mean for the OS system? Posted: 18 Sep 2018 11:37 AM PDT Somehow I feel like this isn't temporary at all. I just changed over to Linux some 3 months ago. What would happen to Linux if the man doesn't return? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2018 11:31 AM PDT Everytime I update Linux Mint I Loose the option to use my wireless usb wifi adapter to connect to the internet then have to carry my pc and all it's components downstairs to connect it via a wired connection to my home hub. To then download the correct drivers via the driver manager as I don't have a wired connection upstairs then after all that hassle I am able to use things that require a network connection to work. Is there a way I can avoid this as it is very annoying, maybe save the driver setup in a file so I don't have to connect via a wired connection to use it when updating/installing new versions of Linux?

| Help with error messages when installing linux Posted: 18 Sep 2018 04:44 AM PDT Hey guys, I hope this is the right subreddit for my question. I am a Windows user that wants to switch to linux. However, for some reason I cannot install any distro. I've tried to install ubuntu, debian and manjaro. The only thing I get are some error messages when I want to boot from my boot-stick (https://i.imgur.com/hGsAhgm.png & https://i.imgur.com/ZMst9Wm.png) Used hardware:
Advice is needed, thanks. Things I've done so far:

| Posted: 18 Sep 2018 10:25 AM PDT I bought a used computer from a surplus event with a small 128GB SSD. I partitioned it out at 90GB for Windows and like 40GB for Ubuntu for a dual boot set up. 40GB is not that much and I'm getting closer to filling it. I want to go buy 2TB HDD, but I'm not sure how to manage the 2 drives on Linux. Should I partition the 2TB drive, then merge the corresponding partitions of the other drive into 1 volume for each OS? In Ubuntu, is there a way to keep my 'favorite' programs on the SSD and things like build tools, compilers, and documents on the HDD? Is there an even better way to manage my storage?

| Help can't find anywhere answer anywhere Libvirtd Posted: 18 Sep 2018 12:58 AM PDT Hello, I have few KVM hosts using libvirtd but i sometimes get this weird bug that libvirt stops working and what i found out that that stoping libvirtd and deleting xml storage files in /var/run/libvirt/storage/ directory and starting it again libvirt starts working normally again and i can't find why this happens or how to debug. The process itself show as running without any errors but restarting it virsh list command wont show anything it gets stuck at that. How i found this bug is when i migrate clients between hosts it takes really fast depending on the size but sometimes it just wont migrate and restarting libvirtd shows as running after deleting xml files it gets back as normal. Really sorry it's really hard to explain to me how it happens because sometimes it happens three to five times a weak or sometimes it wont happen for weeks. So i just tried my best to explain my situation so i as wandering that maybe someone had the same issue or how to debug this situation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2018 09:16 AM PDT I am kind of new to the Linux world and I am loving it! I installed Ubuntu and am loving every single bit of it. So I came across LFS and I had doubts on how do I start learning to build my own Linux OS. I mean I have ubuntu now, what do I do? Will I have to format Ubuntu and start afresh? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2018 08:55 PM PDT I use i3 gaps and the package in the official repo never installed right so I installed via the github page. I see I need to update the package. Do I just rebuild it and that updates it? Will I have to reconfig it if I do that? [link] [comments] |
