| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 08:02 PM PDT How many of you out there are the only person in your circle of friends who cares about any of this at all? Even the tech savvy crowd? I feel like the more I learn in Linux the more distant I feel from everyone around me. We're starting to speak in different languages. While you folks are wonderfully supportive, It's difficult to get excited about something and having nobody to talk shop with in person about the bullshit thing of the day that we learned in Linux or projects that we want to do. How do you get passed the loneliness that appears to come with this territory? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 05:21 AM PDT Today I learned that Linux has bash and its really simple (for now). [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 11:13 AM PDT and I get the error "status_command process exited unexpectedly" unless I add "UTF-8" in the locale.conf file so that it does look like this:
but when I do this, I get new error:
when I log in on tty1. So how can I remove this annoying error and still get i3 status bar to work? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 10:48 AM PDT Hi guys. I'm currently using linux mint 19.2 cinnamon and want to know how I make programs I downloaded from the web to appear on the menu. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| Can I change the brightness of my laptop screen if I want to use Linux without a GUI? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 01:42 PM PDT Pretty much the title. I am using PopOS on my laptop, but if I switch to tty then the volume and brightness buttons on my keyboard do not work. I tried to use xbacklight, but it gave me an error saying "RANDR Query Version Returned Error -1". Anyone know if there is any way to fix this? [link] [comments] |
| Someone please help me, It’s driving me crazy! Posted: 02 Nov 2019 01:12 PM PDT I'm 2 seconds away from throwing this thing in the trash. Is there any distro that works with SiS 671/771 Graphics what so ever? I have honestly been trying for days now trying to get any to work to no avail. I know Linux Mint 13 works but i'm looking for one that's at least up to date. I'm getting so frustrated now, downloading and installing one after the other. I'm open to any distro as long as it's at least not to outdated. I have tried everything I can think of to get a work around but unfortunately nothing has worked, the screen resolution is so bad I can't even edit simple settings within the OS. It's painful😂 Any suggestions/ideas are much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| How to reorder columns of hex of a file Posted: 02 Nov 2019 07:02 AM PDT Basically trying to swap the order of the columns of a hex file of 8 values in one row. So the first 4 columns and last 4 columns change places. Any idea how to do this easily? Thank you very much [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 12:33 PM PDT Edit 2: I checked out the contents of /boot/efi and can see that there are Ubuntu files in there. How can I reinstall Ubuntu so that it is 100% contained on /dev/sdb instead of needing to mount /dev/sda2 to /boot/efi ? == Original Post == Hello! My fstab: This is the computer I'm using. System has 3 drives:
During Ubuntu install I made sure to choose the 250GB SSD for the installation. It is still automounting /dev/sda2 to /boot/efi and I'm wondering if I did something wrong. Ideally this linux install should still work even if I unplug the Windows 10 SSD or reformat it down the road. I chose the "something else" option and (supposedly) configured it to be entirely on /dev/sdb. There is only:
Before I continue setting up my new install, I'd love to know if I should reinstall and do something different (like leaving the /dev/sda drive unplugged?) to make sure my Ubuntu install isn't relying on anything besides /dev/sdb to function. I appreciate your time and insight! Edit: In case it's relevant, I installed via a USB drive, not from an image on /dev/sda [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 12:23 PM PDT Soooo basically I installed Pop_OS and I kind've wanna dualboot into Windows. I see my other disk, called "DATA" which contains Windows files from my Desktop. I'm not seeing the option to boot into Windows when I go into my boot menu (I have an ASUS laptop, I restart and press escape multiple times to get to said menu). I guess what I'm trying to ask is how do I boot into Windows AND Linux? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:26 PM PDT I have been able to install centos 8 and (I think) the Epel registry. However when I try to install R I get a message "Problem : package R-3.6.1-1.et8.86_64 requires R-devel = 3.6.1-1.el8 but non of the package can be installed". How do I fix this to install R?

| Popups when using fullscreen apps in i3 Posted: 01 Nov 2019 09:59 PM PDT So I'm very new to i3 but it's definitely growing on me. I'm trying to use a fullscreen program (GIMP in this case), but whenever it creates a popup (such as when I go to "Save As" it opens it up in a new blank workspace and then after I close it I have to switch back to the workspace that's running GIMP. Surely there is some way to prevent this behaviour? I've tried Super + F to enable fullscreen mode but it didn't make any difference. [link] [comments] |
| USB stick write protected - can't even format with gparted Posted: 01 Nov 2019 08:38 PM PDT I have a USB stick that I've previously formatted, changed the label and written some files onto. When I changed the label though I had to use a root shell - even using sudo from a regular shell failed. The files on there are owned by my user/group. These were a bunch of mp3 files of lectures for my wife and she has used the drive in some mp3 player. She's asked me to put a bunch of other lectures onto it but I can't write to it. The disk is mounted as read-only - it seems permanently write-protected. I've backed up the files - so I can definitely read them - and tried to re-format the drive using gparted and fdisk and both of those say the drive is read-only and I cannot change it whatever I try to do. Some drives have a switch to turn write protection on and off but this drive doesn't have one and anyway. I'm totally baffled and I have no idea how this has happened. How can I get it to mount read-write? Does anyone have any idea what has happened to cause this? [link] [comments] |
| Nvidia drivers/No DE on Solus 4 Budgie Posted: 01 Nov 2019 08:25 PM PDT So I got a new computer and installed Solus 4 Budgie. Did all the updates and everything was working fine until I used doflicky to install my Nvidia drivers. Doflicky installs the drivers, both 64bit and 32bit (for steam), then asks me to reboot. After the reboot I'm stuck on the evil black screen with the blinking white cursor. I looked up some solutions on the solus forums and tried suggestions posted in https://discuss.getsol.us/d/1208-black-screen-flashing-white-cursor-top-left-on-live-boot-nvidia-gpu Which involves installing the current drivers via eopkg and restarting lightdm. This did not fix the issue. I tried suggestions posted in https://discuss.getsol.us/d/2639-black-screen-with-white-cursor-in-left-corner but running sudo nvidia-settings does not do anything. I've also tried looking for incomplete packages as suggested in https://discuss.getsol.us/d/583-solus-booting-to-black-empty-screen/19 but there do not seem to be any. Each time I try something and it doesn't work I end up having to use sudo eopkg history to roll back the nvidia driver install to get back into my system. One of the Solus people told me I was running an older Kernel and needed to update it for the drivers to take effect. I installed the Kernel, rebooted my computer, and spammed spacebar. A menu pops up giving me 2 options, Solus 4 Fortitude Firmware Interface Picking Solus 4 Fortitude boots me into Kernel: 4.20.16 and Firmware Interface takes me to bios I was then told to run these commands one at a time: sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 5 sudo clr-boot-manager update Doing so gives me the output: [FATAL] cbm (../src/bootman/update.c:L126): Cannot determine boot device The only posts that talk about that error mention fixing it but don't talk about how to fix it in a way a newbie like myself can understand. Someone help me please, I wanna play games but can't cause these damn drivers and kernels wont work. inxi -F System: Host: ***** Kernel: 4.20.16-112.current x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Budgie 10.5.1 Distro: Solus 4.0 Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: ASUSTeK model: ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING v: Rev X.0x serial: <root required> UEFI: American Megatrends v: 5007 date: 06/17/2019 CPU: Topology: 6-Core model: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X bits: 64 type: MT MCP L2 cache: 3072 KiB Speed: 1886 MHz min/max: 2200/3600 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 1888 2: 1887 3: 2195 4: 1903 5: 2052 6: 1946 7: 2195 8: 1884 9: 2192 10: 2042 11: 2189 12: 1894 Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] driver: nouveau v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.5 driver: nouveau unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1920x108060Hz OpenGL: renderer: NV117 v: 4.3 Mesa 19.2.1 Audio: Device-1: NVIDIA driver: snd_hda_intel Device-2: AMD Family 17h HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Sound Server: ALSA v: k4.20.16-112.current Network: Device-1: Intel I211 Gigabit Network driver: igb IF: enp6s0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: 04:d4:c4:57:dc:96 Drives: Local Storage: total: 465.76 GiB used: 14.06 GiB (3.0%) ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: Crucial model: CT500MX500SSD1 size: 465.76 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 453.31 GiB used: 14.06 GiB (3.1%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda3 ID-2: swap-1 size: 3.73 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) fs: swap dev: /dev/sda2 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 41.1 C mobo: N/A gpu: nouveau temp: 30 C Fan Speeds (RPM): cpu: 0 Info: Processes: 255 Uptime: 14m Memory: 15.64 GiB used: 1.43 GiB (9.1%) Shell: bash inxi: 3.0.36 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My boot (/dev/sda1) was not mounted.

I was then able to do in Terminal: sudo eopkg install --reinstall linux-current sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 5 sudo clr-boot-manager update Rebooted my computer and Finally had the option to select the latest Linux-current Kernel. Updated nvidia drivers via doflicky and it worked as it should. [link] [comments] |

| Fonts too small on drab install Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:57 PM PDT I have a fresh install of Debian, bare bones. I installed open box and once i opened it up the fonts are so small they're unreadable. I had this problem before and it was a custom dpi in XFCE issue that was easy to resolved in its settings. How would I fix this on command line? It has something to do with me using my tv as the display. Please help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:51 PM PDT Hi there! I'm writing a script in which, after a series of conditions are met, I have to supply the shell with a file that contains a name and a surname, so the script echoes the number of letters in each one. Example, if the file is called "names" and the file content is "John Smith" ... echo 'number of letters in the name is' cat names|cut -d " " -f 1|wc -m Expected output should be: number of letters in the name is 4 However, I get 5. Then I tried with echo instead of cat: echo 'number of letters in the name is' echo -n names|cut -d " " -f 1|wc -m In this case, I get 8 whatever name I put inside. So, I have 2 questions: first, why do I have to tell cut that SPACE is the field separator, if it is meant to be the standard one, meaning that -d is not needed? And second: why is cat adding 1 to the lenght of my string, while echo just returns a string size 8? Update: cat is not neccesary (of course). The problem is that cut is adding an extra newline in the end of each string it generates. I just gotta remove it somehow [link] [comments] |
