| Is there some way to transfer ebooks from Linux to my iDevice? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 09:18 AM PDT I know I could just email it to myself, but is there some other way? I'd like to just drag 'n' drop it. I have all the necessary packages installed, and I can mount my iDevice, but when I drop the .pdf file in .../Books/Purchases/ (where my other books are) it doesn't work. The file is there, but it doesn't appear in iBooks. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Installing two versions of GCC on a Linux system, is this possible? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 06:31 AM PDT Hi, New to Linux and I want to make sure I am doing this right. I have a CentOS machine running an earlier version of gcc, 4.8. I believe it came with the operating system and it is installed under /usr/bin/gcc. I mostly admin Windows machines so this is not my strong point, one of our users asked me if I could install GCC 6.5. He needs that specific version to compile some software. Is there any reason why I cannot put GCC 6.5 in something like /usr/bin/gcc6.5 and have two versions of GCC on the same machine? Then just make sure his path is set up correctly to use the new version instead of the system version? I found this tutorial for GCC 6.3: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/8.0/general/gcc.html however about halfway down the page it says "Even if you specify only languages other than C and C++ to the ./configure command below, the installation process will overwrite your existing GCC C and C++ compilers and libraries." I don't want this to affect the 4.8 version already on the machine. Can I have two versions of gcc running at the same time? Many thanks for your help. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 12:17 PM PDT Hi. I have terrible performance issues with Xubuntu 18.04, the pc works fine for a while, but it suddenly loses speed and starts freezing. I have an i5 6200u and 4GB of ram. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 09:29 AM PDT I want to install Fedora to a separate drive and not in the same of Windows. So I made a partition in an HDD that will be the one of Fedora, it's that large because I want to switch to Linux entirely and use Windows only when there aren't any other options available. I made a bootable USB with Fedora Media Writer and tried to install it but when I try this error comes up. EDIT: This applies to both the Automatic and Custom option Why is this happening? Also when Fedora will be installed, to make my system dual boot do I have to edit my bootloader with EasyBCD or will the installation itself do it for me? Thanks to everyone that hopefully will reply, it's my first time with Linux and dualbooting so it might be a dumb mistake, but I tried searching online for a solution and nothing really relevant came up.

| Installing Linux on a Windows 10 laptop Posted: 01 Nov 2019 12:32 PM PDT Hey guys I'm a noob at this thing, I want to learn computer programming but I know I need to install Linux first. I'm not sure how to go about installing it to replace the whole Windows 10 OS, I'm already familiar with Linux since I had to use it for an old job I had. If you can link me to a video on YouTube or can give me a step by step on how to install it I would really appreciate it [link] [comments] |
| Finding and changing desktop environments Posted: 31 Oct 2019 08:37 PM PDT Hey all, I'm currently on Fedora 31. While I'm really enjoying the GNOME workflow and polish, I'm not enjoying it's impact on my every day performance. I've got a two in one with 8 GB of RAM, and and i5 8250u with integrated graphics running the show. While GNOME runs perfectly smoothly, it does mean I have a significant amount of my CPU and memory being used at all times. I want to try something lighter. I love how well GNOME works as a two-in-one desktop, but that's more of a luxury than a requirement. I mostly just want something that feels modern, maximizes screen real estate, and won't hog up my resources. If possible, how would I be able to cleanly replace my current desktop, GNOME, with something else on Fedora? If I have to change distros, how do I keep all my important stuff in tact on the switch? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:09 AM PDT Hey everyone! I'm currently dual-booting Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Windows 10, however, I would like to remove Windows. I'm not entirely sure how to safely do this and wanted to ask since I don't fancy ruining my laptop :D My current partition setup is the following:
I thought about deleting partition 2,3 and 4 and then moving the Ubuntu partition to the front after the boot partition. Is it safe to move the partition to the front? I then would probably install Manjaro KDE on the new free space. Here's my current partition setup again: [link] [comments] |
| I don't get to install Pop! _OS from the live version on a bootable USB stick Posted: 01 Nov 2019 11:52 AM PDT Hey guys, totally noob here. This is my first time to try something like that and I feel totally lost. I am fed up with windows crap and I want to switch to linux. I saw some videos on YT about installing a dual boot version of the Pop! _OS. I followed them to the T and I am having a weird problem. I downloaded the .iso image for Pop 19.10, burnt it on a USB stick using Etcher program. I went into boot, and the OS actually boots. Then when I get into the Pop OS it asks about language, keyboard, etc. Then, nothing happens. I don't get to actually "install" the OS on my pc. It seems like a portable version of the Pop OS. Am I doing something wrong? My PC is HP EliteDesk 800, so it's a BIOS system. I also checked from windows settings and it said BIOS -> Legacy. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

| Is there a Linux basics for Windows Administrators? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:37 PM PDT I've been a IT Admin for more than a dozen years, and have in depth knowledge on a broad range of tech topics, but know relatively little about Linux and its associated technologies. Searching around I've found lots and lots of Linux tutorials and the like, but they all want to spend forever in the baby school level of 'this is how binary works, here's what a mouse does'. Is there any good resources out there for someone well familiar with technology and systems administration, but just doesn't know the actual nuts and bolts of linux workstations and servers?

| A linux distro for my family computer Posted: 01 Nov 2019 12:47 PM PDT Hello guys, I'm looking a light weight distro for my parents' pc, I must say I'm not living with my them and I just visits them every six months so it must be a really stable distro. They are going just to use internet, and play some simple games like mahjong. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:29 AM PDT I had a long night last night, I was installing a new ssd, and linux, I'm not huge into the intermediates of computers (ie. Drivers) and I had to make some decisions. Combining accurate outdated tutorials with indated adjacent tutorials, the only portion I add was "/" 25GB ext 4. So should I like shrink that? I'm not hurting for space, so I dont really care about it, but there are other partition I should add [link] [comments] |
| Best way to set up my disks and partitions - win7+win10 + *nix Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:28 AM PDT Hi I have a laptop PC with 2 physical hard drives, 600gb each. I have dual boot Win7 and Win10 installed on Disk 0. Disk 1 is just a single NTFS partition, which I use for storing all my files. I want to install one (or perhaps two) linux distro to harddisk also, to have a triple/quad boot system. I know it would be easier to start with wiping Disk 0 completely and partitioning and installing from scratch but ideally I want to keep the windows installations/program etc as they are (for now at least). I have messed around with linux here and there in the past, but still rather green. I will probably go with ubuntu mate or mint or similar, but also interested in Kali. Not sure whether to install 2 different distros or just have the one but install all the cool stuff from Kali. Here's the current partition layout: [disk0 part1] ~[1.46/1.46 GB free] (Simple,Basic,Active,Recovery Partition) [disk0 part2] ~ [178/236 GB free] (Simple,Basic,Primary Partition,NTFS) (windows7,E:/) [disk0 part3] ~ [155/357 GB free](Simple,Basic,Boot,PageFile,CrashDump,PrimaryPartion,NTFS)(win10 C:/) [disk1 part1] ~354/596 GB free] (Simple,Basic,,Healthy,Primary Partition) (storage D:/) I could shrink the windows 7 OS disk0part1 down and leave just 20gb or so free, as I don't ever really add to the existing size. win10 OS disk0part3 free space could be shrunk down by half, leaving around 70gb. So if I can shrink these two windows partitions like this, I should have a little over 200gb spare on disk0. Would it be better to install ubuntu on a new partition at the end of disk0? Or on a new partition on disk1. I understand that a SWAP partition is desirable on a different physical disk than the OS. I guess I will shrink the win partitions first while I'm running in win10, I have Easeus Partition Master. Or if I can't do this while the OS is running I wil boot from gparted on USB? Or I assume most live USB installers etc will have something suitable built in. Do I need these partitions to be MBR or GPT? Primary or logical? What's a suitable size for the swap partition and what format should that be in? Laptop has 8gb RAM. Just standard old HDDs, not SSD. The "storage" partition is where I store all my random files music, photos, movies, setup files, isos etc, basically everything except operating system and installed software. It is shared between all the operating systems, and also shared over the network. Currently it is NTFS but if I am to be creating modifying accessing these files with linux as well then is there another file system that would be more suitable? There are a few that are over 4gb. Any suggestions would be appreciated. PS: yes I do have and have used virtual machines but I want a "real" install now =0 [link] [comments] |
| How to install nvidia drivers? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:23 AM PDT Alright guys, it is terrible mess here. I need your help. I am trying to install Tensorflow gpu in ubuntu dual booted along side windows 10 on my Asus Rog Stix laptop with NVIDIA 1650 graphics card. I am following these instructions. Now, the very first step is running
To deal with this I found a stackoverflow answer and tried everything suggested to no avail. Several answers online say to disable secure boot,which i have already done. Next up I look around to see how to install the necessary drivers. I found this post. I can't select the first option When I select the first option and hit apply changes the dot automatically goes back to the second option. I tried the second step of the first link (this one) ie, installing NVIDIA CUDA. From NVIDIA's site i got the necessary commands to install CUDA for my perticular configuration::
All commands worked fine except the last one:
Running
What should I do? [link] [comments] |
| Pop! os 18.04. can't seem to upgrade to any other version. Posted: 31 Oct 2019 08:57 PM PDT Basically what the title says. Whenever I google search it just says that I should automatically see an update button in my settings menu, but it's not there. This is my first week or so withi Linux, so I don't know if I'm missing any steps. I know there are newer versions...18.10, 19.04, 19.10 just came out. I would like to at least be on 19.04 if I can get there Thanks for any help [link] [comments] |
| Adding secondary drives from windows 10 Posted: 01 Nov 2019 09:21 AM PDT OK so I have my boot drive and everything setup fine, however I want to add some larger hard drives that I was using in my windows machine. They've got a lot of data on them that I'd like to keep. What's the best way to go about this? I can see the files, but they won't open. I looked around and tried to figure it out, but I think I'm not wording it correctly and most of what I've see with mounting drives are just mounting/adding new blank drives with no data. Thanks I'm using Pop!OS if that matters [link] [comments] |
