| I am searching for a terminal text editor with these features... Posted: 24 Sep 2018 06:58 AM PDT Actually it's not exactly a Linux-related question, but I don't know where to ask it and people from here are more qualified to answer this question anyway I am searching for a terminal text editor for writing fiction and I need the availability of certain features (from the program itself or through plugins).
For now I am trying Vim, but I am facing some problems with this program and trying to solve them, that's why I am searching for other alternatives. If there are not terminal editors with these three features besides Vim, you may suggest me graphic text editors with spellchecker and possibility to easily add unicode characters [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 12:41 PM PDT As far as I know, the standard way to install packages on Linux is grabbing them from repos using a package manager of some sort, but how would one add and upgrade packages if they *did* have some way to download things off the internet but their actual computer was isolated. I'm very much thinking about these two use cases, and cases like them:
I don't know if there's a simple solution there that I just overlooked, but all my google-fu hasn't been enough to give me a negative or positive answer. I just started using Solus 2 days ago, and I think one has the option of unpacking downloaded eopkg files, but I have no idea if there's anything universal about how that works on something like Ubuntu or Arch.

| How to see what applications are opening output connections ? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 01:42 PM PDT Maybe not a n00b question, but: I'm using Mint 19 Cinnamon. I've set up iptables to stop most incoming connections, and have a VPN going. But how can I log each time any application makes an outgoing connection ? I can't tell how many updaters and services and such are running in the background and doing things on the network. I see discussion of this, such as https://superuser.com/questions/34782/with-linux-iptables-is-it-possible-to-log-the-process-command-name-that-initiat and https://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/monitor-net-connections.html But they seem to conclude that there's no easy way to do it with app names shown. All you get is PIDs that are no longer valid by the time you'll see the log. You can get instantaneous snapshots (not cumulative logs) by running "ss -tp" or "netstat -A inet -p". I tried to look for some package that might do it, but got lost, there are a bazillion firewall-addon or firewall-wrapper packages. And I don't want to run something that requires tons of knowledge and configuration, such as maybe Wireshark. Help, please. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2018 09:39 PM PDT Sorry if this the wrong sub, But can someone please help me. I'm looking at spending a fair bit on this as a I want a computer that wont get slow or lag etc... Obviously I'll buy the parts needed but when it comes to OS, I'm so stuck. Grew up on Windows as I'm sure most people did, I used to love that shit man, but every version that comes out I find more and more annoying and actively want to avoid it, It's also so ugly now. I do kind of like the aesthetics of IOS and also the Aesthetics of Apple products in general, I find them very ergonomic but I know through friends who know their stuff, internet communities and general consensus that you are mostly paying for the logo. I don't really know too much more about other OS's but Linux is my next go-to I suppose. I will be using my PC for Gaming. I won't be streaming or anything, I'll download a PS2 and gameboy emulator to play through yu-gi-oh tag force GX and the old pokemon games. I'll chuck a bit of Rollercoaster tycoon 2 in there and maybe an MMO-RPG. I'll use it for watching stuff, Obv I'll buy a great graphics card and screen. I'll use it for downloading A LOT, using music production software and accessing TOR. Other than that, just the general emails, Reddit and other stuff. Any advice would be hugely appreciated, I'm of the awareness level where I could be easily mislead and lied to in a shop so I've come here. Thanks :) [link] [comments]  |

| Epson l365 (a printer and a scanner) scanner not working Posted: 24 Sep 2018 12:51 PM PDT So I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 on a laptop. I was able to get the printer working using these and these drivers. I just can't get the scanner to work. I tried installing this package bu it only helps to recognise the scanner in programs like spimplescan. What do I do? Edit: Fixed a link [link] [comments]  |

| bricked dual boot linux on separate drive Posted: 24 Sep 2018 02:36 AM PDT I have windows 10 on my first hard drive installed and bought a second one to install ubuntu which went well. I updated my graphics driver and the whole system crashed and I can't boot into linux anymore. Now, how do I try to fix this problem? There is nothing important on my linux so I could delete and reinstall completely. I used "sudo update-grub" to install the dual boot. If I format my drive will I still get the boot menu where I can choose between w10 and linux? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 03:02 AM PDT Okay, so I've been a windows user all my life. I'm on Win10 with my laptop (Acer e5-573). Then I saw all the backend junk Microsoft has in Win10 and I'm disappointed; I want to distance myself from that. I've only barely heard of linux, but it's been somewhat likened to the recent slant toward the FOSS take I've brought my s8+ toward. So I read a well written introductory article about four beginner distros. Of those I liked what "Solus" had to offer, and I even went to their website to learn more. I like it. But I feel so.....overwhelmed. How do I start from here? I don't need much, really;
Help please. [link] [comments]  |

| Learning the meet n potatoes of linux Posted: 24 Sep 2018 01:03 PM PDT I've been using linux mint on and off for a few years. I used it the same as windows, using the software and package manager. Cruising the interwebs and doing some photo editing etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Backup and restore a linux machine Posted: 24 Sep 2018 01:42 AM PDT Hi friends, i am not quite sure if its a noob question but i feel like it is one. So making a backup of your data is quite important. I have a cronjob with an rsync script . I use rsync like this in it. I backup the whole root directory. Now i came to the realisation if i would try to copy it all back in after a crash or something wouldn't there be a problem with all the file ownerships and file permissions? thanks for all the help.

| Files gone after rewriting superblocks using mkfs.ext4 -S Posted: 24 Sep 2018 08:19 AM PDT Hey! Today my laptop running KDE Neon booted up to the grub 2 terminal. I tried multiple things to fix this. Last resort was running mkfs.ext4 -S to fix the alleged corrupted superblocks on my filesystem. This ran for less than a minute. Afterwards I ran fsck using Gparted. Now Gparted tells me that the partition is basically empty, i.e. it looks like a clean install. I tried both testdisk and photorec with no success. I also tried mounting /dev/sda2 (the partition) using different superblocks using mount -o sb=<block> /dev/sda2 /mnt/data/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. Output of dmesg | tail: [ 991.743066] EXT4-fs (sda2): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem [ 998.813738] EXT4-fs (sda2): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem [ 1191.053798] EXT4-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Any tips? Thanks!!!!!!! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 12:21 AM PDT I want to add some .iso files to my grub menu and I find it more problematic than expected. When googling, I keep finding methods how to add bootable Linux iso images, but pretty much nothing about other kinds. I would like to add things like: - a Macrium Reflect restore.iso to create/restore partition images to/from a secondary hard drive (I find it better for my needs than Clonezilla because it's easier to browse the images without restoring them first) - Hiren's Boot CD, because it's surprisingly useful still and the included Parted Magic, although outdated, would serve well as an emergency live linux boot if the operating system(s) fail for whatever reason, but the computer still boots to GRUB I know I can just use a bootable USB stick with all the utilities I want, but sometimes I'm either too lazy to search for it or simply forget it and leave it at work ;) [link] [comments]  |
| How do I put my computer to sleep from i3wm? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 03:48 AM PDT I'm using Ubuntu with i3wm and rofi. When I want to shutdown my computer I just type shutdown in rofi. However, when I want to make it go to sleep (to save power when I'm gonna be away for a while), I execute 'sleep' from rofi but it doesn't do anything. I tried looking around on the internet and there's some mentions of pm-sleep/hibernate/suspend as commands, but when I try to execute them in zsh it just says that there's no such command. Very noob question but I can't figure it out. [link] [comments]  |
