| What's the difference between running Mint w/ cinnamon vs. Ubuntu w/ cinnamon? Posted: 27 Nov 2018 09:56 AM PST Title. Does Ubuntu get faster security updates, making it more secure? For example, I'm running Mint 18.2 w/ kernel 4.8. Kernel 4.15 is available but it's a level 4 update, meaning it can break something. If I was running Ubuntu, would this update be available and not break anything? Coming from Windows, I like Mint (but by that, I probably mean that I like cinnamon) so wouldn't it be better to run Ubuntu with cinnamon instead? [link] [comments]  |
| Need hep setting up Ubuntu Server 18.04 Box to operate as a firewall / router Posted: 27 Nov 2018 01:07 PM PST Greetings, all. First and foremost, I apologize if this is in the wrong sub. If a better sub exists for this request please let me know. My work was going to throw away a perfectly good OptiPlex Core i5 (now w/ 12GB RAM) just because the HD went bad. I offered to take it off their hands and now have it up and running with Ubuntu Server 18.04. I'm about to install a second Gigabit Adapter with the hope of turning the box into a firewall / gateway / router (I have no idea if I'm using the proper terms). In short, I'd like it to:
The box will also have OpenVPN running (assuming I can get it up, it pooped the bed on my RPi) and a plex server. So my questions are as follows:
I guess it would be helpful to know the proper terms of what I am trying to do so I could use my own special Google Foo on the problem. Irrespective, thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| Old radeon 128MB should be supported in linux but it kind of sucks. Posted: 27 Nov 2018 12:21 AM PST Hi, I have a Firegl T2 128MB on a laptop. It should be supported on linux (it's like a radeon 9600) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#Fully_supported but instead everything is super choppy. Now it could be that my expectations are too high - or it may be that I've not configured properly... I've tried debian lxde, mint 19 xfce, xubuntu 18.04 and a bunch of others. Scrolling web pages is painful in linux, while is kinda ok in Windows XP with the proper drivers. Rest of the config are 1.5GB of ram, a PM 1.7Ghz and a 20GB ssd, so not great but the machine should be able to surf the web more smoothly imho, and I'm not talking about watching youtube or the likes. Any suggestions? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Question about certificate ssh keys... Posted: 27 Nov 2018 12:18 PM PST There exist two machines, Think (a laptop) and Decopolis (a server (not its real hostname) ). I ran ssh-keygen on think. and transferred the public key with to decopolis. Did I do this backwards? I may want others to be able to ssh into decopolis. I did it that direction because I do not have an sshd running on think. Do I just give the other parties the public key? I would have to then share my key's password wouldn't I. Can I generate another public/private key set on decopolis and share that public key out? Can each user have their own key password? [link] [comments]  |
| Tool for best control making gifs Posted: 27 Nov 2018 11:14 AM PST I need a tool that will let me take images of vids and make animated gifs with strict control over the resulting file size.I can use ffmpeg or GIMP to make gifs from a 30MB vid file or the original png files but the gif animation is 200-600MB. I need a better tool and more control. I need to for instance make sure the gif is under 10MB, reducing resolution size or cropping is less important than resulting file size. What is the best tool to use? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2018 10:56 AM PST Late last week, before the holiday, I updated my server doing the normal apt-get update process. During the update I received a message that the prosody service failed to start. I thought this odd as this has been running properly, like forever. Finding the answer has been difficult as this is a brand new issue and hasn't been acknowledged by the prosody folks. I'd appreciate any help on this. When updating it tries to restart the service and dumps out this:
lua-sec was at version 0.5.1-1 and is now at 0.7-1 after performing the commands listed in this output. Edit: I seem to have resolved this. I worked with the people at the prosody chat and discovered that lua5.2 was somehow missing. To resolve this I uninstalled lua-filesystem. After that I did an autoremove and then reinstalled lua-filesystem and lua5.2 and prosody itself--in that order. sudo apt remove lua-filesystem sudo apt autoremove -y sudo apt install lua-filesystem sudo apt install lua5.2 sudo apt install prosody Combine those installs at will. I did them separately as I was stepping through to see what was causing my issue. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2018 02:34 PM PST I've been using Chrony for my clock for a while now (I read it was better for laptops where Internet connection is intermittent), and I'm a little confused as to whether I should use rtcsync or rtcfile. Is there any performance benefit or increase stability to using a file to track the clock over syncing with the RTC? Does anyone else use chrony? [link] [comments]  |
| Linux I/O error numbers > 1000 Posted: 27 Nov 2018 02:32 PM PST I have had for years a java program feeding data through a pipe to a scientific application program. It has worked well for years. I upgraded to mint 19 and got an input error on the scientific application program with a value (most often) of 5001. Sometimes 6001 and occasionally something in the 22,000 range. I finally figured out that the problem was the java program chased leaving a broken pipe (user error in the program name). I have searched the internet and not found the meaning of error numbers above a little over 100. errno --list does not list anything in the 1000+ range. Does anyone know of a list of linux error numbers >200 and what they mean? (I found a list for windows.) [link] [comments]  |
| Issues installing Mint from USB Posted: 27 Nov 2018 05:29 AM PST I've been running Kubuntu on a Toshiba laptop for a while, originally a Windows 10 unit with the dreaded "100% disk usage" error that made it useless. Anyways, decided to switch it up for Mint after running into a lot of bugs in Kubuntu and having a few friends who run Mint rave about it. Needless to say, I'm barely a step above clueless when it comes to this stuff. Issue I'm having is this: I downloaded the newest Mint 19 Cinnamon distribution, created what I thought was a working ISO bootable using the dd command in Terminal. It appears to have loaded correctly. I also tried to download Unetbootin, but had the same issue I've had with Kubuntu from the beginning, it won't let me download any programs at all, through Terminal, internet, or the built in software/app finder. I also have a lot of issues with the built in software, specifically things like Libre unable to open docs and crashing, Wine not working at all, etc. Anyways, when I reboot into BIOS and change my boot order to USB first, it recognizes my USB as Sandisk, but won't load in any of the three slots. I turned off fast boot, have tried changing to CMS, everything I've seen online. I've even tried booting directly off the USB using the manual boot menu. No luck. Just keeps booting into Kubuntu every time. Didn't have any issues whatsoever when I loaded Kubuntu from the same stick. At a loss with what to try next. [link] [comments]  |
| [Manjaro] Mouse freezes after suspend Posted: 27 Nov 2018 02:11 PM PST I've updated the kernel and after I come back from suspension mouse won't work. Even If I unplug it and plug it back it, won't work. Rebooting works. I've found a solution but for Ubuntu only. Ofc doesn't apply to me, which is this: https://itsfoss.com/keyboard-mouse-freeze-suspend/ tl;dr: reinstall xorg input What would be a solution for Manjaro/Arch? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2018 01:59 PM PST Hi, I'm a Kubuntu user (newish to Linux) looking to connect wirelessly to my smart TV to use as a second screen. It should allow me to have IDLE/ PyCharm open on my laptop screen and view web browser/pdf on the TV. I've had a look and cannot see an option to do this. Hate to use the 'w' word but Win10 made this a really easy feature to find and use. Am i just being a muppet and not finding it or do I need to download a helper? Many thanks in advance, D [link] [comments]  |

| Is there a need for an antivirus program on Linux? Discussion encouraged! Posted: 27 Nov 2018 01:17 PM PST Hello! I am new to Linux, I've installed Ubuntu yesterday and I am still getting a hang of it :D I have one question though - I've read multiple times that people say that you do not need an antivirus program on Linux because if anything wants to execute it needs sudo and your password for it. I am asking the community for what purposes would you use an antivirus then? If you recommend an antivirus, which one do you recommend and why? I am a pro security guy and I feel naked without an antivirus, maybe it's a deformation from Windows platform. [link] [comments]  |

| Increasing the hold time of "turn off touchpad while typing" Posted: 27 Nov 2018 03:52 AM PST Hello, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from years of both OSX and Windows. I am not a developer, the terminal is still wildly intimidating to me overall, but I'm liking the learning process, and the OS overall. My biggest problem is that I cannot seem to type anything more than a sentence or so at a time without my cursor moving up to halfway through the previous sentence, which is disruptive. I have an Asus laptop that I dual boot between Mint 19 and Windows 10. I'm assuming this is a software issue, because I have no troubles at all typing in Windows. Most answers I've read suggest thumbs are brushing the touchpad, and this seems logical, but in my mint settings I have checked the "turn off touchpad while typing" option. But that has not solved my issue. I am wondering if I can customize this setting to hold the touchpad off for an additional second or so, as maybe it is reacting to quickly to me stopping typing? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |

| How do I install a USB wifi adapter on Ubuntu 18.04? Posted: 27 Nov 2018 07:31 AM PST Hi sorry, I have an installation disk but I just can't figure out how to make it run. On my previous Windows 7, the minute I put in the disk it would just auto run but here when I put in the CD, I saw the contents of the disk on the driver folder but I have no idea how to make this work. Really sorry if its too basic a question but I'm a total noob and I just transitioned from Windows to Ubuntu last night. Thanks very much! [link] [comments]  |
| Does an average/new user notice difference between distros if DE is same? Posted: 27 Nov 2018 05:57 AM PST Hello, I have installed Debian to my machine and I simply cannot get every software to work that I would like to and I have read that Ubuntu has better support for these softwares (Steam is the main software that I would like to use) so I think that I will switch and try if I have better luck with Ubuntu. My concern is that I really like how Debian works with KDE and I wouldn't like to change it so I found about Kubuntu which sounds good. Before I make the switch I would like to know is there a significant difference between distros (in this case Debian and Ubuntu) if the DE is same? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2018 05:22 AM PST I have two hopefully simple issues with MX Linux. First, my audio isn't working. The only thing I've tried (besides obviously turning up the volume) is looking in Alsamixer to see if my headphones are muted, which they aren't. Second, if I try and select my Steam library folder, it gives me an error saying: New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions I don't know how to fix either of these issues but I'm hoping someone can help me out here. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| If I create a file with dd can I mount partions from it somehow? Posted: 27 Nov 2018 12:45 AM PST So, I want to dd if=/dev/sda of=path to a file - then mount 'path to a file' to get files from it - can I do that? What if I dd individual partitions instead of the whole disk? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 27 Nov 2018 12:05 AM PST Hi all, I'm looking for some advice, I got this message in my auth.log but when I try and replicate it by trying to login using a random user and password nothing shows on the log. Is this a bot sniffing around or is this a genuine access attempt xrdp-sesman: pam_unix(xrdp-sesman:auth) :authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= xrdp-sesman: pam_unix(xrdp-sesman:auth): check pass; user unknown Thanks [link] [comments]  |
