    I've been using linux since last year and still don't fell like "advanced user". Could use some guide what should I learn.

    Hi there, I installed Lubuntu on my laptop last year. I chose this distro, cause my laptop is 10 years old, Windows 7-10 was not working great on it and Lubuntu is lightweight. I've been using Linux on daily basis since then, but I feel like I never actually learned anything at all. I usually use it like I used Windows and found it quite easy to learn. I installed needed programs via apt, after I googled "how to install stuff on linux" and I use top command after googling "where's bloody task manager on linux", cause my old laptop sometimes chokes on tasks and I need to disable some stuff. Apt and top are literary THE ONLY two commands I use in terminal. The rest of my time is spent in IDE and playing retro games - just like I did on Windows.

    Now, I've heard a lot of stories of Linux being such a deep OS with steep learning curve, but with so many possibilities and I'd like to learn more about it, but in my personal experience all I really need is pretty straightforward. I was wondering if there is any advanced stuff I could learn, without changing distro. Would be glad for some tour among Linux advanced stuff.

    Thinking about switching over to Linux - possible stupid question

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 08:12 AM PDT

    I've been considering ditching W10 and moving over to Linux for a while now. Here's the problem, I'm running Ryzen 1600 + GTX 1060 right now. Is there any problems running Nvidia GPU's with Linux? My CPU has no iGPU, so I'd totally depend on my dGPU. Should I try to swap it for a 580?

    Linux Tutorials

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 01:53 PM PDT

    I've been using Linux for about 8 years now and started a linux channel 2 years ago. I have done alot of videos and articles to share my experiences while using Linux but can't seem to get much support. I do tutorials on different commands, programs, and topics that I've learn. I don't think Im too good at it, but I just wanted to share to see if I can get some support and feeback. Any constructive criticism is welcomed, KeepItTechie

    Thanks Guys!!

    Manjaro changes to sudoers file not doing anything

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 01:04 PM PDT

    Ive been trying to add NOPASSWD to wheel on this pc for a while, but sudo visudo writes to the sudoers file but it doesnt actually do anything. Ive never had this problem on other distros, but Ive noticed Manjaro doesnt even have a sudo group. The contents of sudoers.d just include 10-installer and it has a line for wheel, but idk what sudoers.d does or why there is a sudoers file and sudoers.d, Ive always just used visudo and it works. What is the difference here and how do I fix it?

    Ubuntu Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 problems

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:51 PM PDT

    I just bought a new laptop with windows 10, but I thought maybe I should give Linux - Ubuntu a try. I tried Ubuntu without installing with a usb in my laptop but I couldn't connect to WiFi. And then I googled that there were some problem with this network card. So I was wondering if there's a easy solution for this, and if it's just that I have to install a driver for it to work properly?

    The message I got in the WiFi settings was: no WiFi adaptor found

    GRUB: Cannot find Windows

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:44 PM PDT

    Hi guys!

    I wanted to use Lubuntu and Windows 7 in dual-boot, with Windows already installed... I have successfully installed Lubuntu (mini/netinstall version) on my computer, but GRUB cannot find Windows 7 on my HDD...

    The 2 operating systems are installed in the same HDD but in different partitions.

    Any suggestions?

    PS: I have tried with sudo grub-update and with boot-repair.

    The last time I used "sudo apt autoremove" rendered my system unbootable removing practically every package, how do I avoid that in the future?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 04:56 AM PDT

    Even though the terminal suggested doing that, when I did it reported the packages that are going to be removed accumulating at 1.5 Gb consisting of more that 200 hundred packages. What's the deal?

    It's a workaround

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 06:20 AM PDT

    My fresh installed version of LinuxMint 19 cinnamon doesn't give me access on USB sticks via gui: it just asks me if i like to choose a way of opening them. I felt great by using the terminal, going inside the /media/user/usbStick/ to open them up, but thats just a workaround. Any idea why that happens?

    I have this shell script:

    for (( num = 1; num <= 1000; num++ ))

    do

    echo -e $num > list.txt

    done

    My intention is to end up with a txt file that lists each number from 1 to 1000 on a new line, wht am I doing wrong ? I got this far by using a tutorial however they seem to be able to write to stdout on a new line no problem.

    Handling GPU drivers in Ubuntu

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 07:08 AM PDT

    I'm a pretty new user, but thankfully the snap store and Steam Proton has made it pretty easy to transition from Windows :) However, I've noticed that my GPU never turns on, even when I run games (Don't Starve and others). As an experiment, I tried to run some games that require a GPU (Overwatch) which refused to start because 'no compatible hardware found'. Since I've checked that my geForce 950 is compatible, that implies that my GPU is ignored by the system.

    I followed this guide to update the drivers for my nvidia card, but the problem persists.

    https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux

    1. Is there something I've missed about the installation of drivers?
    2. How can I make sure that my system utilizes my GPU for all games?

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    Question about FLAC files

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 06:18 AM PDT

    I downloaded an album of Flag files. the first track is properly being recognized by ffmpeg as well as omxplayer and the file command.

    but all other following tracks/songs thr file command says only 'data'.

    I even installed the flac package with apt-get because I thought maybe some codec or decoder is missing.

    I guess the only option left is that these files are indeed not actual flag files or were not correctly encoded/converted/created?

    Ubuntu: desktop folder icons not responding since 18.04 upgrade

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 09:58 AM PDT

    Since upgrading from 16 to 18.04 I have had a strange problem where I've been unable to open folders by double-clicking their icons--nothing happens when clicking a folder on the desktop. Navigating and opening folders via the file system however is working fine. The problem does not seem to be limited to a single user account. Same issue when logged in as a different user. This has has left me dumbfounded. Does anyone know any possible solutions?

    Hard drive benchmark tool on debian repos

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 09:18 AM PDT

    Hi, could you advice me a tool with gui that I can use on debian 9 stable (not backports) to do benchmarks on hard drive and mass storage? I'd prefer something that is not part of another d.e. (like gnome disk) and that is not a file manager different from mate (because I'm using mate and its file manager).

    Help disabling terminal broadcast messages

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 07:33 AM PDT

    I am relatively new user to Linux on the desktop and have recently started to connect to several work/personal VPNs using the following command:

    sudo systemctl start openvpn-client@Personal 

    This all works fine, and I am successfully able to connect to my VPN. My problem is when my system asks for the VPN auth credentials (username/password), it does this in every single terminal I have open - not just the one I executed the command from. This is slightly annoying as it sometimes overwrites text/running commands in other sessions.

    Is it possible to disable this? I have tried mesg -n with no luck. Thanks!

    $ uname -a Linux t480s 4.18.10-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 26 09:48:22 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    (Update on Maya problem) One step closer to downloading Maya, yet still some problem hindering the install.

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 07:19 AM PDT

    Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/9kixlb/cant_seem_to_run_the_setup_to_download_maya_on/

    Hello! A few day ago, I posted about an issue concerning downloading Maya on Ubuntu, and thanks to some commenters, I was able to get one step closer. However, when trying to download Maya with the install client, I am hindered by the fact that I could not install the License and Server software with the package.

    Finally gotten to open the install client after using a guide and downloading some dependencies. However, the last part about downloading the 2017 version did not work, so I had to use the current release.

    I am currently stuck with the issue regarding Autodesk License Manager and Autodesk FLEXnet Client.

    After encountering these issues, I tried cheeking out the RPM file sin the Maya 2018 folder. As they were all not runnable files, I converted them to DEB by using Alien. After doing so, I tried installing them using the terminal. After doing so and running the install client once again, I got the same error. Making sure that I did not install them wrong, I tried reinstalling them, however, getting the message that they are already installed.

    All the files that seems to be missing from the install client, yet, even when downloaded, they still won't install properly.

    The question I have now is if there are still some dependencies that I am still missing, or if I have gone through the process wrong? I am so close, but it feels like I have stumbled upon a giant wall.

    Switching GPU's

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 02:07 AM PDT

    I'm currently using Linux Mint with an nvidia GTX card, but about to switch it out for an AMD RX card. Can I just switch it out and have Linux Mint recognise the change and get new drivers or is there some prep work I must do first? I don't want to be effectively locked out of my system doing this. TIA.
