| Windows 7 Users - Welcome to Free*dom Posted: 02 Oct 2018 04:50 AM PDT I posted up a while ago that the stickied post needs changed. There was much clamour and general agreement at this point. It seems that despite Windows 7 requiring payment to keep alive, we're still welcoming people from Windows XP. Also, the details are great, but anyone unable to look this up themselves might feel a little intimidated or get choice paralysis. Could we just stick pictures of Ubuntu, Mint and Solus up there, and say 'pick what looks nice'? Also, it still contains a reference to this 4chan guide, which is now thoroughly outdated.

| Posted: 02 Oct 2018 01:22 PM PDT I installed it on opt btw. To upgrade, it said it needed privileges. I went to it's bin dir and ran studio.sh using elevated privileges. After the update it said "installation finished" and asked whether or not I wanted to import the setting of the previous version, then it recommended upgrading to the new version of gradle. After doing this I closed, then ran it normally. It once again said "installation finished" and asked if I wanted to import settings and then once again it asked if I wanted to upgrade gradle. Same story with a few different things I installed but don't remember anymore. It really weird and mysterious to me that this happens, which is why I'm asking. I feel like my computer is gaslightning me lol. By the way, running android studio without elevated privileges made the gradle update to fail (I'm guessing that why it failed, it was the only difference) . I'm just going to run it with sudo forever now, would that be ok? [link] [comments]  |
| How to install GRUB bootloader on RAID0? Posted: 02 Oct 2018 11:00 AM PDT When I first installed Ubuntu on my laptop, it installed without any problem. but then, I got RAID failure so I have to delete everything and rebuild the array. I then installed Window 10(For gaming, of course) and attempted to dual boot Ubuntu but Grub bootloader have problem installing and requested me to install somewhere else. This is where I am having problem. When my RAID failed, I copied the exact setting from it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2018 02:54 PM PDT So I am a total newb and I have been with Windows the whole of my internet life... (Maybe one or two days spent on Macs back when they came out with those cool all in one see through's with the color shades hah) So why choose Linux? What is it about Linux that is any better or different than Windows? Also for those able to go even deeper why choose linux over BSD variants or Unix? What does it do different or better?

| Constant crashes on XUbuntu and UbuntuMate Posted: 02 Oct 2018 02:04 PM PDT About 2 weeks ago i switched from win10 to XUbuntu on my main computer(i have been using XUbuntu on my laptop for years now). The installation went fine and everything seems to work. The problem is, that after a while playing games like CS:GO or watching Youtube videos the pc crashes. The screen just freezes and i cant do anything. I have to turn the pc off by pressing the power button a couple of seconds and after booting up again the pc works normal. The crashes seem to appear randomly. Sometimes 3-4 times a day and sometimes once in 2-3 days. My specs: AMD Ryzen 2600x AMD RX580 8gb Ram Asrock AB350 Pro4 Motherboard I use the 4.5 Mesa 18.2.1 drivers, which are labeled as stable, and i have the 4.18.0-041800-generic kernel installed. What should i do? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 Oct 2018 05:02 AM PDT Hi, I'm looking for a good Linux/tech video podcast show. Ideally a weekly one. I seem to remember a show where 3 guys sit round a table and discuss tech stuff. I watched one in the past where they were demoing solderless headers on a raspberry pi. Does anyone know what that was, or have any other suggestions? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| How to fix broken gpu drivers? (Ubuntu 18.04 RX Vega) Posted: 02 Oct 2018 09:26 AM PDT I was experimenting wih diffeernt proprietary and open driver packages (AMDGPU-PRO, ROCM, MESA) installing, uninstalling, tring to get OpenCL to work with blender. After some time I managed to make Blender work BUT the performance is abysmal, the GPU takes ages to initiate and then runs at roughly 30% the speed it is supposed to. Anything related to Vulkan fail to initialize vulkan. So i guess I broke my driver stack , open CL technically works but something is clearly wrong, Vulkan is supposed to just work OOB but it doesn't. Can I restore my Ubuntu installation to it's original condition without losing personal data and files? Is there a reset/restore original option? [link] [comments]  |
| Mouse focus problem Ubuntu 18.04 Posted: 02 Oct 2018 08:38 AM PDT Basic setup:
Sometime last year (under 16.04), my media center started having a weird problem where the mouse wouldn't focus on windows. For example I'd exit MythTV and launch a web browser. Once the browser launched, nothing was clickable. I couldn't click on anything except for the top bar with the power on-off button. I discovered that if I logged out and back in, things would work properly for a while, perhaps a few hours. Then the cycle repeats. I lived with it. Now I've upgraded to 18.04, hoping the issue would resolve. Nope, same deal. When things go "unclickable", it seems like the mouse clicks are focused on the desktop underneath the app. I don't even know where to begin looking. [link] [comments]  |

I am using Amarok for shoutcast streams and ran into an issue where I wasn't able to play many of them. I needed to grab the phonon-backend-vlc plugin. I had been using the GStreamer backend up to this point. I noticed the streams still wouldn't play until I put the the VLC as the preferred method at the top of the load order. With GStreamer being under it. this is fine and for the most part everything works (The Analyzer doesn't, but thats it). My question here is, are there any other backend frameworks that I should have other than VLC, GStreamer? I want to make sure I am getting the most out of Amarok. Thank you for your time.

| Dell Precision 5520, and TB16 dock distro selection Posted: 02 Oct 2018 07:26 AM PDT Hello all, I have been using Ubuntu on my home pc for about two months, and i'm trying to get it working properly on my laptop. Since i use it at work they have provided a dock, with three monitors, ect. I originally picked Ubuntu because it seems to be an easier transition, and it is "supported" on the laptop. However, I'm having some issues (NIC on dock doesnt always connect, Laptop goes to sleep as soon as desktop loads, sounds through headphones really low, fans on high alot). So I figured i would ask here if anyone else is using 18.04, or perhaps have moved to a different flavor of linux, and are having less flakiness. [link] [comments]  |
| Spotify won't play local songs Posted: 02 Oct 2018 05:49 AM PDT Using Arch and apparently it's a libavcodec dependency stated from the Arch wiki but it only offers a solution for PulseAudio users which is installing ffmpeg-compat-54. Has anyone come across this problem and use ALSA? How do I resolve this? Error msg: [link] [comments]  |
| Locate program's path in order to automate it Posted: 02 Oct 2018 04:05 AM PDT Hi, I downloaded a beta program (Without documentation), and I want to automate it so it will start on login. Now I can only start it with the GUI. Tried to grep it a figure out what to do next but too many results. Looked in the process list and saw 3 or more processes relevant to it - Maybe there's more... How to approach it? Another question, ~/.profile is the right place for these commands? [link] [comments]  |

| How to run Pycharm on LinuxMint ? Posted: 02 Oct 2018 01:15 AM PDT I am not able to just press the windows key(how is it called on linux?) and type pycharm and press enter to run the ide . I dont want to go each time through the terminal and navigate directories for something i can do in 1 seconds. Anyone got a solution for this? Browsing the web only gave me useless info , sorry very frustrated here !!! edit : Found the solution by myself , for those who come from windows and have no idea wtf is going on : Right Click on the StartMenu/DropdownMenu icon (windows key) click on Edit Applications , it will open a new window called Menu Editor. Hit the plus to Create/Add a new Launcher. In the Application Details>Command: put the path where you installed your Pycharm , it should end with your executable (mine is: /home/myloginusername/Downloads/pycharmetc/bin/pycharm.sh) . Working Directory , repeat the same as above without the last "/pycharm.sh" line . Save the Launcher (its the down arrow key next to the plus) you are done. You can add icon if you want by clicking the default Icon it gives you when you create a new Launcher. [link] [comments]  |

| Guide: Using your icon theme's icons for snap applications Posted: 01 Oct 2018 05:59 PM PDT As anyone who has used snap knows, icon themes don't work out of the box. This is because the icon path is hardcoded into the snap, and will ignore any themes. Here's how to fix that. This is all done on Ubuntu 18.04, so some paths might differ depending on your distro of choice. Icon themes are generally under Snaps are installed under Go into your theme directory that you found earlier, and find the corresponding icon in there. For Numix, these are under [link] [comments]  |
