How do I stop the volume slider from making a 'bloop' noise when I change volume? Posted: 19 Apr 2018 10:58 AM PDT I have the volume controls mapped to my mouse. When I raise or lower the volume, each tick goes "bloop." Relatively mild annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless. Is there any way to make it silent without losing the alert sound for all events?

Ubuntu: Install 18.04 now or wait until 26th? Posted: 19 Apr 2018 07:06 AM PDT Hello, I know that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS arrives on the 26th but if I use the nightly build will the nightly build be upgraded to the final release ? [link] [comments] |
How can I recover deleted files? Posted: 19 Apr 2018 10:39 AM PDT So I actually have a rooted android phone and thought that there might be some kind of commands I could run to recover lost data. Maybe with dd? Anyway, I have an EXTREMELY important vcf file that has all of my contacts. Some of them I absolutely can NOT lose. I don't give a shit about all the pictures and apps I lost, but I absolutely need my contacts. This just happened last night and I haven't been using my phone yet, so hopefully it didn't get overwritten. Also, I run my phone FLOSS only, which means no google cloud backup or whatever it's called now. Idiotic me: I backed up my contacts to a vcf file because I was going to re flash a rom, however, I accidentally wiped the internal storage. I had no backup of the rom, or any texts. Therefore, I lost almost all of my contacts. I had a few of them saved in the sim card, but I'm missing the majority of them. [link] [comments] |

Good lightweight distro for noob/kid? Posted: 19 Apr 2018 01:46 PM PDT Recently picked up an older laptop (20gb HDD, 512mg RAM) for cheap, no OS installed. Looking for a good Linux distro to put on it for my kid (9yrs old). He's interested in programming and I feel like learning Linux would be a good thing, it seems to encourage that style of thought process more than just slapping Windows on it. Unfortunately, I am also a complete Linux noob, I'm taking a class rn but don't have much more under my belt that basic file system commands, etc. Basically, what's lightweight enough to run well on an older system, and is good for beginners?

How do you install a GTK3 theme or Gnome Shell Theme in Gnome 3.26? Posted: 19 Apr 2018 12:58 AM PDT I've lost a good hour trying to do it. I'm on Debian Sid and Gnome 3.26. I'm trying to install either or I can't, for the life of me, get them to show up. I DO have enabled use themes in the extensions, and I have: 1) Copied the files in ~/.themes Still they do not show up in gnome-tweak-tools. I've also relogged and rebooted a bunch of times. What else could I try? EDIT: This seems to work https://github.com/tliron/install-gnome-themes [link] [comments] |
Is there any way to get over the lower limit on KDE's lock screen timeout? Posted: 19 Apr 2018 11:10 AM PDT My laptop is playing music at the moment, and isn't to be tampered with (i'm at a party). Because I always forget to lock the screen, I'd like to lower the timeout to like 5 seconds, but KDE's settings only allow 1 minute at most, ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc doesn't parse 0.x apparently, so I'm out of options. Any ideas? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Apr 2018 10:39 AM PDT I have a Ubuntu Mini USB that my friend wants to copy with Acronis. Is there a way to disable, from within the OS, backups from external software like Acronis. Say, maybe encrypting it or something? [link] [comments] |

Posted: 18 Apr 2018 09:01 PM PDT I am currently running Ubuntu 17.10. However, on 18.04, they mention not just version updates, but also changes to many things, particularly, " I want to get all the changes made to 18.04, so I was thinking that some changes will only be available if I reinstall from scratch instead of upgrading. However, I'd like to just upgrade since I would rather not lose my current installation. What do you think? Should I just upgrade from 17.10 or reinstall 18.04 when it comes out? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Apr 2018 02:10 AM PDT Hi. I am trying to set up a remote repo for pass (the password manager) and atm I seem to be failing badly. Followng the manual I did ok looks good so next step in the manual would be Now if I do Again, this also looks correct right? The problems start when I try to Now I am not sure what to do here. Every other repo on my machine works. I have a bare repo for my dotfiles that works great. SSH key also works with other repos. I did google a lot about it but didn't have much luck fixing anything. One of the suggestions i found was to set the url with I'm probably missing something very simple and easy to fix and I just can't see it. Thanks. EDIT: Ok I don't know what I was thinking there. My brain just stopped workinig for a moment. [link] [comments] |
Pulling my hair out trying to install mint. Posted: 19 Apr 2018 12:38 AM PDT Installed mint first time from USB using default options. Didn't boot. Booted from USB and installed again, using custom options. Installed, booted fine, but wifi not working and cannot find secondary HDD. Rebooted with USB again, wifi works. Reboot using installation on computer, wifi still doesn't work, HDD still not visible. HDD is visible when I'm at the partition screen of install, but not anywhere else. Sudo fdisk -l doesn't show it the secondary HDD Gparted isn't installed and I can't install it because no internet. Can connect to multiple working wifi networks, all show as connected, can ping the routers, but no internet. I suspect that the reason the default didn't work was that my laptop has 2 HDDs, a normal one, and an SSD, sda is set as the HDD and sdb is set to the SSD when I go to install. I also cannot remove dev/mapper, and am not sure where it is putting it. What do? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 18 Apr 2018 08:47 PM PDT I'm a big fan of the look and feel of mint but I had the understanding that it's basically a desktop theme for Ubuntu. Especially cinnamon (mate is based on gnome? debian?) Anyway mint 19 is supposed to have a significant performance gains. Does this mean that credit goes to Mint or to Ubuntu? How much is specific to mint? I hope I'm not conflating the cinnamon desktop (which I know can be activated in Ubuntu) with significant development done by the mint team on their distro. I've even themed antegros with cinnamon, but paddled back to my safe space when I needed my machine to just work for homework. Edit: See here
But. But.
Now mint 19 is improving its speed but not Ubuntu? [link] [comments] |
Need help with piping commands using Xterm -e or Konsole -e Posted: 18 Apr 2018 07:40 PM PDT Hi anyone here who can please help, I am trying to execute a shell script from an python application and want to pipe my variable to the shell script.
I have also tried the above with konsole --hold -e and the issue is the same. Also is there an alternative way I could pass a variable to a shell script in a single command ? [link] [comments] |
Ubuntu 16.04 is not booting from the USB Posted: 18 Apr 2018 04:26 PM PDT So I have this Windows 10 machine, and I am trying to do a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 on it. I downloaded the ISO from Ubuntu and then I used Rufus to burn it onto the USB. Then I switched the BIOS startup priority to USB-HDD instead of the local hard drive. After saving the priorities, the computer attempted to restart, but then it gets stuck on the Windows logo and does nothing, rather than launches Ubuntu. Any ideas on what could be going on?

[ArchLinux] nvidia 940mx does't seem to work Posted: 18 Apr 2018 10:21 PM PDT Hi. I am new to Linux and I chose Arch as my first distro on purpose; I don't mind spending hours learning. I installed the closed nvidia drivers (I want the best performance) using: pacman -Sy nvidia lib32-nvidia-libgl But when I open Blender for example I don't see the GPU option at all, and when I open a video file it doesn't work properly. So I just want to make sure whether I installed it correctly and if not, how do I do that? I read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA but it's a bit complicated for me, so please go easy on me. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 18 Apr 2018 08:37 PM PDT I'm using arch and I was using gnome because I know only gnome as a desktop environment therefore I have installed gnome. But I was trying to learn Arch linux for love of open source world. So, I have seen the KDE. It was very new and fascinating thing for me because I'm a newbie :). Therefore I have wanted to switch to KDE. I installed the plasma and the kde-applications packages and I did, I installed the KDE and I was using it but there is a thing that I didn't know. I was still using gnome menu for login(I was Changing gnome to kde from a little gear thing left side of the login screen). Therefore I was searching how to do that but finally I have found a thing that will help me(or I supposed to this) then I removed the gnome and gnome-extra packages or whatever. So I rebooted my computer then I got simple Arch screen(black terminal thing e.i login and password). So I saw, I didn't handle it :(. But I find a new thing that will help me :(. I was trying to type "systemctl enable sddm.service(probably you know but It's plasma desktop environment thing)" but It was syslinked to gnm.service(probably you know too but it's gnome desktop environment thing) So I saw a new command from BBC.Arch that was "systemctl enable sddm.service -f" in "sudo su" mode. After that I rebooted my computer, everything was fine but after boot screen my plasma wasn't show itself. There is a black screen and that's it :(. I want to fix it but I can't access the part which is writeble part. Therefore I need to help from you guys I'm trying to fix it almost 3 hours. Thanks for interesting and helping already now.(I probably need to access writeble or codeble part) [link] [comments] |
Trying to install Linux on clean macbook pro Posted: 18 Apr 2018 03:39 PM PDT I have an old mid-2009 macbookpro which I'm trying to get linux onto but keep running into issues with the uefi problems when booting, it's making it so that the boot times are much longer than they should be. Is there something I can do or any particular distribution I can use to avoid issues? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 18 Apr 2018 06:13 PM PDT This is probably not the right sub, but I couldn't find any other more relevant ones. So I apologize in advance. I need help with encoding a 20 sec video using SHVC (scalable extension of HEVC). I know that I need to use the SHM Reference Software but I don't know how to use it. I downloaded the source code on my Ubuntu 64 bit machine. However the documentation is not very thorough. I have 2 questions: (1) How do I use the encoder? (2) What is the configuration for encoding with 1 base layer and 3 enhancement layer? [link] [comments] |
