| DIY phone or phone-aware linux computer? Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:46 AM PDT Is it possible to connect (through the use of some adapter) a SIM card to a Raspberry Pi or Linux laptop and create your own DIY phone or by using mobile data a kind of always-connected portable workstation? I've heard of phone-aware tablets that can make phone calls, and I'm just wondering if there's some way to interface with a normal SIM card to create my own phone/text/mobile data functionality using Linux.

| New to Linux, get many crashes. Posted: 31 Aug 2018 12:27 PM PDT Hi peeps, just as the title says, I decided to jump from w7 to Linux after a recent problem with it and not being able to recover it. Todays is my 1st day and I, as a video game lover, looked for the basics stuff to game on Linux, (Wine, Discord, play on linux, ...) And since I started, I had like 3 or 4 time pc freezes, with a "screen glitch" (can be looking like some areas where pixels looks broken, or some more "regular glitches" where areas of the screen aren't where they should be), my mouse still can move, but I can't do anything else, ctrl+alt+F1/F6/F7 doesn't works. Can't be a regular bug. I don't really know what I'm doing most of the time, when websites aren't clear enough about what I'm trying to do. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.1LTS (64x) and couldn't find anything really similar. So here I am, asking for your help. My pc is a prebuilt pc I got in around 2011-12; Acer predator G3610 CPU:i5 2320 GPU:GTX660 Memory:6GO Storage:2TO Thank you for reading and looking forward some help (: [link] [comments]  |

is the only way that works every time My /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn-acpi-support file is this: Surely, the last "else" should work? The only other directory in /etc/acpi is /events, which contains /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn-acpi-support I think that goes back to the previous file Any ideas? Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:19 AM PDT Hey Everyone! Hope y'all are having a fantastic day! A little bit of backstory... I want to start switching over to Linux from windows 10 so i'm doing research on distributions and which one would be right for me etc. I've narrowed my choices to either Ubuntu (budgie) or Mint 19 Cinnamon. What exactly are the differences? I was searching the subreddit, and one of the popular answers about differences between distributions was:
But my question is a little more specific. What is the difference between Ubuntu and Budgie besides just the DE? are they the same under the hood? If so then what does that mean for Mint? From what i understand Mint is based off Ubuntu, so would there be a real difference if i just installed the Cinnamon DE on Ubuntu to make it look like Mint? Does it have the same Repositories? I feel like i might be getting too much into the weeds thinking about these specifics but i'm just excited to learn more about Linux [link] [comments]  |
| Static when using volume slider in applications Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:27 AM PDT EDIT: Crackling might be a better description. There is audio static while increasing and decreasing the volume sliders on websites in Firefox or apps like Spotify. Any way to fix this? This isn't an issue when adjusting the actual volume output outside of the apps. [link] [comments]  |
| Problem when installing Arch on Virtualbox Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:48 AM PDT I decided to install Arch Linux on Virtualbox. I found a tutorial on the internet to follow through, at the disk partition stage where it says that I need to type in the "fdisk -1" command, I typed that in and instead of a list of available disks, it said that it's a invalid option or in exact words "fdisk: invalid option -- '1'" What am I doing wrong? I spelt it correctly and use other tutorials but no luck. :( UPDATE: Grammar fix. [link] [comments]  |
| 3 Best DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) Apps for Ubuntu, Linux Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:18 AM PDT Digital audio workstation (DAW) apps are used to record, edit and create/produce audio files. DAW apps comes with wide range of configuration options based on their types. Using DAW apps, you can record music, songs, speech, radio, TVs, sound effects, podcasts and these apps also helps you to mix & alter multiple recordings and produce a single track. There are lots of DAW apps available (free and paid) for Windows, Linux, Mac. Lets have a look at 3 free and open source DAW apps for Linux. https://www.debugpoint.com/2018/08/3-best-daw-digital-audio-workstation-apps-ubuntu-linux/ [link] [comments]  |
| Font problems after using lxappearance Posted: 31 Aug 2018 01:51 PM PDT Hey, people. I recently decided to put on my big boy pants and install Arch and start ricing things up.Today I decided to see how to set up gtk themes and since the first thing that came up was to use lxappearance which seemed pretty easy, I decided to use that. I got it going, set up the theme and icons and was messing around with the fonts. Suddenly I realized how the fonts on some of the websites I opened through firefox stopped changing despite having switched to another font through lxappearance. I fixed that manually by setting up the font in the firefox preferences. But then I realized that the same font that firefox was stuck on was also on dmenu, Steam and Autodesk Maya. I read up on how to properly setup fontconfig with fonts.conf and local.conf but that only fixed dmenu. Steam is acting the weirdest because the UI of the client window is using the stuck font but the applet on the status bar is using the font from lxappearance and games like Team fortress 2 are using the font set up from fontconfig. Any ideas how I can get everything to just use the fontconfig font? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 01:29 PM PDT I have experimented with Ubuntu for about a month now. I like Ubuntu, there is nothing worng with it, except for a few hiccups every now and then. I have another computer and would like to add a Linux Distro to that system but not Ubuntu because I want to try something different. What Linux Distro do you recommend? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 07:22 AM PDT Hey there, I'm on a laptop with intel i3, Debian stable with a AMD GCN 1.0 southern island GPU. Would like to get steam to use llvm6.0 and the latest mesa that the backports could provide me (mesa-vulkan-drivers 18.1.6). My card only has 'radeon' support in the Debian stable kernel (kernel 4.9). [link] [comments]  |

| Thinkpad external lights remain on during suspend (Xubuntu 18.04) Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:20 AM PDT I have an old Thinkpad Yoga 11e that I wanted to resurrect, but no matter what distro I put on it this issue remains. Xubuntu has given me the fewest issues (others wouldn't recognize trackpad, or would not wake from suspend), but I simply can't make these lights shut off! Specifically, there is a green light on the top of the case that seems to represent wireless connectivity, and a little red dot above the "i" in Thinkpad. Any idea would be greatly appreciated! I would even be happy if those lights were permanently off. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:56 AM PDT Hey all. I'm trying to figure out how to use crontab with DietPi. I'm running Tautulli (for Plex) and can't seem to get it working as a daemon service, so thought it might be easier to just have it autostart on boot with crontab, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. So firstly, this is what my "crontab -e" looks like: https://pastebin.com/Mnf6PB5X And, this is what my "tautulli.sh" script looks like (which is in the /opt/Tautulli/ directory). This is probably wrong as well because I've never done this and was trying to follow examples online, but I'm probably not understanding them correctly. Am I overlooking something? I'd like to figure this out so I can also setup crontab to run a daily or weekly backup of my Tautulli.db using rclone to my google drive account. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:02 AM PDT Hello, Ive been trying to find a tutorial for setting up mpd to work as an ordinary music player. Im new to Linux and all thr tutorials assume I know what I'm doing. But I don't. I never understand most of the stuff and the rest just doesn't work.

| Old Laptop Is Not picking up Ubuntu on USB drive Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:48 AM PDT I've decided to learn Linux just for fun to start with and then get into coding. I installed Rufus and imported Ubuntu (16.4 LTS) iso onto my USB using Rufus. However, when I go to BIOS it doesn't pick up the file. All that I see is this window. It's like the .iso has disappeared. I googled everything on how to create a bootable drive and was sure I was following everything correctly. What have I done wrong? Thank you. EDIT: make of the laptop is ASUS. Unfortunately, I do not know the model number. [link] [comments]  |
| How can I get the Arc shell themes for Ubuntu 18.04? Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:40 AM PDT I thought I could run something like sudo add-apt-repository ppa:appropriate_name then look for the theme in my tweak tool, but I am not sure what the appropriate_name would be or even if that would work if I did it. Can somebody help this noob out? [link] [comments]  |
| Quote mark in my monitor name causes visual bug Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:36 AM PDT distro: Xubuntu 18.04.1 When I boot I'm greeted by my wallpaper and nothing else, no panel, I can't launch any programs, right click doesn't open menu. Every time I have to press ctrl alt del, wait a bit then unlock to get everything back to normal. I'm sure it's caused by this because deleting the file makes system boot smoothly into desktop on restart but then the file is recreated, I'm stuck on next reboot and I have to wait, press ctrl alt del and unlock every time. How to prevent this file from being created or change the name so it doesn't break because it seems it's the weird " breaking everything. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:16 AM PDT I currently use Linux Mint Cinnamon but I would like to switch to plasma. What is the easiest method? Can I just install it over Cinnamon? Because generally I haven't ever managed to switch DE without screwing linux... [link] [comments]  |
| Should I Install Linux on a Chromebook Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:13 AM PDT I don't own a Chromebook (yet), but I would like to buy a Chromebook if it's worth installing Linux. I plan on using it for web development and school. Is it worth buying a Chromebook and installing Linux on it? Or should I use something more powerful? I don't know any particular Chromebooks that I'd like to install Linux on, but it would have decent specs to get the job done. [link] [comments]  |
| Troubles with installing Ubuntu on Asus FX503 (GPU) Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:18 AM PDT Hello, I recently got a new laptop (Asus FX503VD-DM002T with i7-7700HQ and a GTX1050M). Yesterday I tried to install the newest version of Ubuntu Desktop (18.04 LTS) on my 128GB SSD. When installing everything went fine, but when I wanted to shutdown the laptop after installation, it crashed (just freezes). After that I tried to boot Ubuntu. Everything went fine until I logged in, it froze again. After some troubleshooting I discovered that I needed to disable acpi in grub, which I did. I can now use my laptop. However, it performs pretty slow and I've got a problem with my GPU. It appears that it's not using my GTX1050M but instead uses the Intel Graphics. When I run "sudo lshw -C video" it shows that my GTX1050M has "display UNCLAIMED". I'm not sure how I can fix this issue. I already tried to disable secure boot but that didn't work. Any help is appreciated :) EDIT: I already installed the NVIDIA drivers by using "sudo apt-get install nvidia-390" [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2018 09:47 PM PDT I have an old 2010 net book. "The demo unit HP sent me came with a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 250GB, 7200RPM hard drive." Those are the specs on it. Should I go with Ubuntu on it or not? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 06:41 AM PDT I know how to renice and am aware of the -20 to 19 scale but have a question. Lets say I renice firefox to 9 and firefox's pid at the time is 7395, when I start up again it gets a new pid right? So then how does Linux know to keep firefox at 9 when it's pid changed?

| A Few Questions About Setting Up Ubuntu In Dual Boot With Windows Posted: 31 Aug 2018 10:04 AM PDT Hello. After a lot of frustration using Windows 10 I have decided to try Linux. I used Ubuntu at school in the past where I learned some basic commands. I've also installed it on virtual machine recently to see if the programs I use(or its alternatives) work fine and everything seems to be alright. I have a 120GB SSD with Windows 10 installed on it and a 1TB HDD. My first question is how should I distribute the space on an SSD(I want to dual boot). My first thought was to give 60GB for each system but I'd like to hear advice from someone more experienced than me. Also I think I'm gonna leave about 500GB on my HDD for NTFS partitions(which I already have) and format another 500GB for Linux. I'm not sure how much space I'm gonna need but I can adjust it later anyway. I also have a question regarding installing software. Let's say I installed Ubuntu on a 60GB partition. Does the apt install command install the program on a system partition? If so, can I change it? I mean 60GB is not much and I have a whole 1TB HDD available. Any other advice would be appreciated as well. [link] [comments]  |
