    How can I launch programs at boot in a specific tiling WM arrangement? [i3+termite]

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 01:50 PM PDT

    I want my second monitor to bring up some standard windows on boot. A web browser, a couple terminals, and an image viewer. I figure I could easily tell it to launch those in .xinitrc, but they would just come up as a bunch of vertical splits if it worked. I want specific geometry and position for each window.

    Is there a way for me to specify arrangement and geometry with tiled windows, or even to write a script that produces an exact sequence of opening and sizing windows to produce the results I desire? For example...

    Open window with <stuff\\>

    Open window with <morestuff\\> by horizontal split and 500px tall

    Open window with <additionalmorestuff\\> by vertical split and 450px wide

    ...etc

    Antergos WiFi issues.

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 08:27 AM PDT

    Hello.

    I am having issues connecting with my laptops wifi card. Here is the output of lspci -k:

    01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter Kernel driver in use: ath9k Kernel modules: ath9k The output of modprobe ath9_hw nohwcrypt=1 returns modprobe: FATAL: Module ath9_hw not found in directory /lib/modules/4.17.11-arch1

    And modprobe -r ath9k_hw returns modprobe: FATAL: Module ath9k_hw is in use.

    I looked at journalctl -e right after I tried to connect to a network. The output is here.

    From this I saw that wpa_supplicant and NetorkManager are conflicting with each other. However when I try to remove wpa_supplicant through the Software Centre, this is what I get. It says that those two long lists of packages will be removed along side wpa_supplicant. I used to be able to connect to wifi just fine, even installed the Antergos through wifi. Currently I am using a usb wifi dongle and it works just fine. Is there any way to fix this?

    UPDATE:

    I tried live booting without the usb dongle. Wether I am live booting or not I can connect to the router just fine. However when I send a ping request this is what I get:

    PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 28ms 

    OR

    PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.0.109 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable From 192.168.0.109 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable From 192.168.0.109 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 30ms pipe 2 

    192.168.0.109 is my laptop IP and sometimes it says pipe 3 instead of pipe 2

    With the wifi dongle, the ping goes through. What is even stranger is that there is a open wireless network outside of my apartment. Connecting to it, without the dongle, also returns a successful ping.

    Suggestions for all in one printer

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 07:47 AM PDT

    After fighting with my cannon for the past few years I am ready to throw it out the window.

    Some old posts mentioned HP as the being very linux friendly. Is this still the case ? Looking for something with a smaller footprint and wifi enabled would be fantastic

    I am running linux mint 18. I don't use the printer/scanner often but would like it to work when I need it :) unlike my Cannon. (Yes I had the proper drivers installed) It was just a piece of crap from day 1

    Does anyone else who switches distros often deal with destroyed/rendered-useless flash drives?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 01:33 AM PDT

    I feel like a quarter of the time I make a new bootable USB, the result is that once I'm done with it as an install disk, it is no longer usable mountable/usable. Much of the time I can repartition/reformat/clean it using diskpart to get it working again, but not always. Sometimes it says I don't have the permissions, sometimes the process just fails.

    I can't be the only one, right?

    SUSE Linux users, where can I find repo links?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 10:15 AM PDT

    Hi Linux users,

    I run SUSE Linux and would like to add official/community repositories to install packages like google chrome, text editor, pinta, htop, git. Could someone please provide info on where I could find the repo links?

    Querying internet gives me OpenSUSE repo links but I'm afraid if this will result in compatibility issues with SUSE Linux (during install/upgrades). Thanks.

    My speakers won't work :-(

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 03:20 AM PDT

    Hey fellow Linux-users! I've got some issues getting my speakers working on my Xubuntu 18.04 machine. It worked flawlessly on Ubuntu 18.04, so maybe it's some sort of driver issue?

    I've got a Logitech Z4 2.1 Speaker-set. The audio cable is plugged into the back of my computer, in a slot that has always worked before on both Windows and Ubuntu. I've double-checked that there is nothing wrong with the speakers and/or cables themselves, they work fine if connected to other devices. I've tried changing the audio-output source in Xubuntu's build-in Pulseaudio client, and other sources results in sound from their respective device.

    I'm fairly new to the technical side of things, anyone got an idea what might be wrong?

    Images of where my AUX is connected:

    Pi-hole not affecting a new Mint install on laptop

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 02:15 PM PDT

    Hello - I've switched a windows laptop to Linux Mint, and I find that pi-hole (running on a pi for several years & blocking ads for every other device in the house) is not blocking ads on it.

    I tried suggestions about startup changes such as

    https://askubuntu.com/questions/536787/dnsmasq-starting-before-eth0-is-ready-and-therefore-not-binding

    but that did not fix it (or Mint does not use a 'dnsmasq.clean' file). I'm on a straight wifi connection to my LAN and ads are coming through to the Mint machine, but none of our other devices. Any ideas where I should look? Thank you.

    How do I set my drawing tablet to be 1:1 with my screen?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 02:00 PM PDT

    I have a drawing tablet (HUION 610 Pro) that is designed for a 16:9 aspect ratio, but my monitor is 16:10, so everything that I draw on the tablet isn't quite aligned with what's on screen. I've already tried setting "Tablet Tool Area Ratio" with both xinput set-prop and a config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. I've even tried running the exe driver through wine, but it wont recognize that the tablet is plugged in. Is there a way to fix the issue that I haven't tried yet?
    Also, I'm running Manjaro.

    Dual booting issues - Win7, Mint 19 "Tara", EasyBCD

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 01:48 PM PDT

    Hey there, I just installed Linux Mint 19 on my system alongside a Windows 7 install, and wanted to have a boot menu to choose between the two on startup. For a background on my system, I have -

    • i5-6500

    • MSI Z170A PC Mate

    • Gigabyte Windforce OC GTX 1050ti

    • Windows 7 on a 1tb HDD

    • Mint 19 on a separate 160gb HDD(not a partition on the 1tb)

    I was looking into my boot loader options, and EasyBCD seemed really easy(ha. Get it?) to work with, so I installed it in windows, and set up my boot menu. Windows is the default OS, with Mint as the only other option on their respective drives. This seemed to work fine, I press the power button, get the splash screen from my bios showing drives and such, then a boot menu shows up. Perfect, now to pick my OS and start. I choose Windows and we boot up fine, right into my login screen. I choose Mint however, and I get the Grub4dos. I have my motherboard boot order loading the 1tb before the 160gb, so with no boot loader, Windows is the default anyway.

    Should I just change to Grub2? Is it any easier/harder to set up over EasyBCD, and to use than Windows Boot Menu? Would I have to change the drive boot priority to the 160gb first so Grub can load(if it has to be installed in Mint)?

    Basically ELI5 here, I'm extremely new to Linux and dual-booting in general, but I want to retain easy use of both OS's on this system.

    How to properly set up OpenVPN on Linux Mint 19?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 12:45 PM PDT

    I ran "sudo apt-get install openvpn" to install OpenVPN and copied all relevant config files to /etc/openvpn/. Then I restarted my computer and OpenVPN auto connects to my VPN provider. However I have a few questions:

    1. If I want to change the VPN location, do I need to copy that new config file into /etc/openvpn/ and delete the one config file? Because OpenVPN for Windows, you can have multiple config files for different locations and you just select from a drop-down which location you want to connect to

    2. How come OpenVPN sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't?

    3. Is there a GUI for OpenVPN on Linux or do I need to do everything on the terminal?

    4. Are there any good guides on how to use OpenVPN on Linux? I tried to Google and Youtube some, however couldn't find any recent guides.

    Ubuntu not booting

    So I recently installed Ubuntu but now it doesn't boot normally and instead spits out this error. It does however boot if I do so through recovery mode.

    • OS:Ubuntu 18.04
    • Kernel: 4.17.11
    • CPU: core i5 6600
    • GPU: RX 480

    The Kernel I run doesn't seem to make a difference Edit: I fixed It by installing different drivers for my GPU

    Windows 8 to Ubuntu Linux using VirtualBox [Error message] *Help Req*

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 12:34 PM PDT

    I was wondering if anybody could help. I am attempting to install Ubuntu Linux on a virtual machine (Oracle VirtualBox) on my HP Windows 8 laptop. However, I am getting the below error message:

    Error message on boot

    Preceding this error message, a purple screen briefly loads. I tried with the 64-bit file, which didn't load because of my processor (Error message: required i686 instead of x86-64 processor). So following this it was recommended to try with the 32-bit file. And that's where I became stuck with this error message.

    System details:

    Windows version: 8.1

    Processor: Intel Core i3-3217U CPU 1.80GHz

    RAM: 8GB

    System type: 64-bit OS

    My VirtualBox System settings used at the time:

    Base Memory: 1024MB

    Processor: 1CPU

    Extended Features: Enabled PAE/NX

    Thanks in advance.

    Testing SSL certificates using Apache

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 11:45 AM PDT

    I am currently looking to set up a local apache server to test how a particular system handles SSL certificates served over HTTPS with different parameters and how that system responds to different server SSL configurations. I have generated a self signed root CA cert which I have used to sign another cert that will act as an intermediate CA. Am I correct in saying that the very fact that the 2nd cert has been signed by a root CA cert (which will be placed in the OS/browser trusted store) automatically makes it an intermediate CA cert? If so and I sign a 3rd (leaf) cert with the intermediate cert and place it on the server to be offered along with a test web page do I need to include the intermediate cert in the server config as well ?

    How do I make it so that a drive on my linux machine is mapped to a drive on my Windows machine via SFTP?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2018 11:32 PM PDT

    I just finished installing NextCloud. Here is how I have been planning on using it:

    --=Documents folder on Laptop and Desktop Server synced with Nextcloud allowing me to also link people documents etc from the the NextCloud web interface.
    --= Work folder on Laptop and Desktop Server synced with the NextCloud allowing me to also also link clients documents from the NextCloud Web Interface.
    --=Archive and Media Server which is on my Desktop Server, and then made available as a mounted drive on the Laptop using SFTP, and also synced into NextCloud so that I could hypothetically watch or stream media to my phone or to the laptop or if I wanted to send a send a friend a video I could create a share link to send them.

    I've got the first two things working just fine, but in the process I realized that SFTP requires server information. Do I have to create a second server or something? Or can I map stuff directly into the NextCloud Server? How would I get that information?

    This is the info that I'm being asked for.

    http://www.expandrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/sftp-1.png

    I'm actually intending to use SFTP Net Drive instead of ExpandDrive but the picture they had was in my tab and was a bit easier to read.

    Benefits of Zswap on a laptop?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 10:43 AM PDT

    I have been reading about Zswap and I can't think of the use case for a laptop. I have 12 gigs but never break 8 so I thought I could maybe take advantage of my spare ram.

    So I'm asking what the use for it is. From what I have read there are multiple compression algorithms I can use with it but is one simply better than the other? examples: Lzo vs lz4

    What’s the best way to keep your Linux system up to date?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2018 11:45 PM PDT

    I have a ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Fedora 28 installed and I was wondering exactly how I should go about keeping it up to date. I haven't been using Linux for long, so I am not sure if I am undergoing all of the necessary steps to keep my system up to date. I usually just run 'sudo dnf upgrade' once a day but I am aware their are other commands that will allow me to upgrade my distribution in the future. Is what I am doing okay to keep up with updates and the like, or is there more I could do?

    Critique my multi-boot strategy

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 06:20 AM PDT

    For some background, I've mostly used OSX on my personal PC. But, the batteries on my macbook began to swell and I vowed never to purchase another laptop without replaceable batteries and a generous number of ports. So, I ordered a thinkpad with a ridiculous 3840x2160 display, 16M RAM, and a single 256G SSD.

    I've also grown increasingly paranoid and plan to multiboot windows along with Manjaro KDE and OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I'm keeping windows to support some work-related applications, while I use Manjaro mostly for entertainment and OpenSuse for banking, trading, and email. I looked at QubesOS as well, but it seemed like too much effort.

    Supporting 3 different OS sometimes seems like overkill for security. I could easily support different OSs in VirtualBox instead. Also, I'm a bit fuzzy on strategies for easily maintaining multiple OSs on a single drive - especially since I will probably want to swap Manjaro for Mint and/or Neon at some point.

    Linux Mint 19 Timeshift: RSYNC or BTRFS?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2018 04:30 AM PDT

    I just installed Linux Mint 19 as a dual boot, and the first thing I noticed is the Timeshift system restore utility. I am completely new to this software, but my first impression tells me that the idea behind it is not that much different from System Restore as you found in Windows.

    Just one thing though: Between RSYNC and BTRFS, which is better all round? What are the most obvious difference(s) between the two? I did some quick research on Google, but I still cannot understand anything.
