    Linux Why is Manjaro so popular lately?

    Linux Why is Manjaro so popular lately?


    Why is Manjaro so popular lately?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 04:24 AM PDT

    Pretty straightforward question. It's been a while since I've messed with Linux, but on a whim I decided to fool around with setting up a dual boot with my Win10 installation.

    I've always been a fan of Mint, but I want to try something new. I keep seeing mention of "Manjaro", and I see it's at the top of the list as far as hits go on DistroWatch.com.

    Anyone know what all the hubbub is about?

    Installed Linux-zen kernel, doesn't boot

    miktex and its dependency on libcurl is ruining my (computing) life. Can't install anything! (Super bad, as it's the beginning of the semester.)

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 11:54 AM PDT

    Hey folks, going to try to make this brief.

    Running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS bionic.

    When I run apt-get upgrade I get:

    You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies miktex : Depends: libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2) but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). 

    When I run apt --fix-broken install:

    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libhunspell-1.3-0 libicu55 liblog4cxx10v5 libmspack0 libpng12-0 libqt5concurrent5 libqt5scripttools5 linux-image-4.13.0-43-generic linux-image-extra-4.13.0-43-generic linux-signed-image-4.13.0-43-generic Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: miktex 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 58 not upgraded. After this operation, 85.4 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

    Answering [Y]es I get:

    miktexsetup: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by miktexsetup) dpkg: error processing package miktex (--remove): installed miktex package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: miktex E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) 

    I have tried these steps and some other pages, but to no avail. Please help me, the school year is upon us and I need to be able to install things.

    Appreciate any help. For real.

    adding a drive to an encrypted lvm

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 12:55 PM PDT

    I have a laptop with two drives in it. I plan on creating 3 partitions on the ssd:

    • /boot
    • /boot/efi
    • a luks encrypted lvm

    The lvm will contain:

    • swap
    • /
    • /home

    The "/home" logical volume will consist of the free space after all other logical volumes have been created and the full second disk (hdd).

    My question is: Will the data written to the hdd be encrypted as well?

    Linux support for 2-in-1's

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 12:34 PM PDT

    Im looking into buying a laptop for school and im debating between the ThinkPad X1 Yoga and the X1 Carbon. Im starting to lean towards the Yoga but I plan on trying to dual boot and im not sure how that would work with something like a 2-in-1. If i loose most of the features of the Yoga then ill just go with the Carbon. And if I do have to download some extra drivers how hard might that be for someone new to linux?

    What is the .xm.log command do and why does it take so long?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 12:33 PM PDT

    Hi. So I've noticed lately there's always a command on the top of my top command list. It's .xm.log and it's run by root. It takes about 200% of my cpu, amd a8 5600k. Here's a quick picture of the top list: picture

    Is this a command that I can stop from running and be all fine or is it important?

    Trouble upgrading Ubuntu 14.04.03 to 16.04.**

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 11:45 AM PDT

    A couple of weeks back I revived an old ADVENT laptop which I had installed Ubuntu on in 2014. In the process of making sure everything was up to date I realised that the distro version was a few years behind and started to take steps to upgrade to 16.04 (hoping to then move onto 18.04). This is where the jumper started to fall apart.

    When I use Software Centre I get an error saying "the required dependency 'apt(>=1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed"

    sudo apt update gives me the following return

    E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

    E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

    E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

    E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

    ps aux | grep apt gives me two returns

    3067 0.3 1.2 305280 100400 ? SNl 18:54 0:10 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/sbin/aptd

    4223 0.0 0.0 15948 912 pts/0 S+ 19:39 0:00 grep --color=auto apt

    At this point I'm a little out my depth and scouring askubuntu.com forums for similar insrances. So far I can see that there was a bad mirror for 14.04.03 preventing the move to 14.04.04/5 then onwards. Can anyone give me any support? Thanks in advance

    File Timestamps in Linux: atime, mtime, ctime Explained

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 08:07 AM PDT

    How can I directly copy my HD to a SDD so that the SDD will boot up just like the HD?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 01:20 PM PDT

    I have a 200+ HD and a 60 SDD. I am removing unnecessary files from the HD so that it is < 60.

    Is it possible to then copy all files over to the SDD from the HD so that the SDD will boot up just like the HD did? I am assuming i'll do a direct copy with dd or something like that. I just want to make sure this will work before I re-arrange all my files.

    Thank you

    Trying to install YouCompleteMe for Vim (At my wits end)

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 11:21 AM PDT

    Hello, I decided to give Linux a try. I am currently using Fedora.

    I want to try and get the hang of using Vim, and for this, I'd like to install the YouCompleteMe plugin, specifically for C++.

    I've been trying to follow this guide on the official page: https://valloric.github.io/YouCompleteMe/

    But after an entire afternoon of no success I come to you guys for help. Bear in mind I'm a COMPLETE Linux newbie, this is my first day using it.

    I've managed to install Vundle, and I've added the plugin as seen in the following screenshot:

    :PluginInstall

    Where I'm falling flat is in the following step, in the Fedora installation instructions: https://valloric.github.io/YouCompleteMe/#fedora-linux-x64

    Compiling YCM with semantic support for C-family languages:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe

    ./install.py --clang-completer

    When running these commands, I get the following error message:

    The source directory \"/home...\" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt

    So I went in to the full installation instructions: https://valloric.github.io/YouCompleteMe/#full-installation-guide

    And on this part, I'm struggling with step 3:

    Download the latest version of

    libclang

    .It links to this page to download libclang, but I have no idea which of those files I'm meant to download. There's nothing specifically called libclang. I've tried downloading some of the pre-built binaries for Fedora listed, and extracted them where I think they're meant to go. Further down the page it says:

    We'll assume you downloaded a binary distribution of LLVM+Clang from llvm.org in step 3 and that you extracted the archive file to folder ~/ycm_temp/llvm_root_dir (with bin, lib, include etc. folders right inside that folder).

    So on reading this, I extracted the pre-built binary file I made a new directory called tcm_temp/llvm_root_dir.

    With that in mind, run the following command in the ycm_build directory:

    cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DPATH_TO_LLVM_ROOT=~/ycm_temp/llvm_root_dir . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/cpp

    On executing this command, i get the following error:

    Using Clang completer, but no libclang found.

    And that's where I am now, I've tried so many different things. I've googled some of the error messages, but a lot of the pages I've found have people either just saying read the docs, or using linux jargon that goes way over my head.

    Anyway, hopefully someone can help me. Thanks for reading.

    Change brightness in openbox

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 09:44 AM PDT

    I am using Arco Linux openbox with xfce4-power-manager. I can change the brightness using the keyboard 'fn' keys but the difference in brightness is wide. If I change the brightness using my keyboard (xfblahblah key) it changes it by 25. I found that by using the command sudo cat /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/brightness. Max brightness I'd 225.

    So I want to know is there a way or a config file I can change to make it change the brightness by 10 or 15?

    My /sys/class/ backlight/ folder only has 1 entry amd*. So I changed my grub boot kernel parameter to acpi_backlight=none

    Device Information

    • Model: Dell Inspiron-15 3565

    • Distro: Arco Linux

    • Kernel: 4.14.67-1-lts x86_64

    • Desktop: Openbox 3.6.1

    • APU: AMD A9-9400 RADEON R5 (Stoney)

    • Driver: amdgpu

    Solus Budgie - Cannot Access Desktop/Cannot Pass Login Screen.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 09:39 AM PDT

    Skip for tl;dr but here is the full story.

    I was installing KDEConnect when suddenly the Desktop stopped responding or opening apps or anything, so I decided to restart.

    The system booted and I was able to log in, but the Desktop won't load up. I got stuck with the wallpaper and the bottom bar (for pinned apps and time etc).

    I googled a lot and ran through a lot of commands which eventually broke my desktop and I'm not able to Login anymore, let alone loading the desktop.

    I would boot up, reach the Login screen, type in the Passowrd, get a black screen for 3 seconss with a small _ flashing top left, and crash back to the login screen.

    What I have tried: Sudo eopkg up. Sudo eopkg check | grep Broken (grep Broken never did anything at all). Sudo eopkg history and takeback (went back 3 days and still no luck)

    What I have: a USB stick with a Solus installer ready to use, and a slow internet connection.

    Tl;dr: can't go past login screen, I type in the Passowrd only to get a blackscreen for 3 seconds and crash back to the login screen.

    Hi all, I'm a new Linux user (about 30 minutes as of this post) and I don't know if I should use rsync or btrfs to snapshot. I'm dual booting Mint and windows 10, and haven't got much space on my 128gb SSD, so want to know what the best option would be.

    More OS's on live usb

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 08:48 AM PDT

    I like to try out a lot of different distributions.

    I know how to make a bootable usb drive from an live image with dd. I have a very fast 64GB drive, from which I boot my live environments.

    However, much space is left on the drive, and I keep on rewriting my distro's with dd. Is there a way to put about 10 different live images on a single usb drive?

    A few questions/problems with booting

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 08:08 AM PDT

    1. If I boot my laptop with my USB C monitor connected Grub is unresponsive. It won't autoboot after x seconds and it doesn't recognize any keystroke. It remains like this until I reboot with the monitor disconnected.
    2. Even with the lid closed Grub is not displayed on the external monitor. Not sure if it's possible to have Grub show on the external monitor but it would be vastly preferable. As of now I have to disconnect the monitor, boot the laptop, connect the monitor.
    3. My Macbook used to power itself on when I turned the external monitor on. This would be ideal but I would be content if I could wake it from suspend by turning on the connected monitor. Is this possible on Linux?

    I run Antergos on a HP Spectre x360. Thanks in advance.
