    Is it possible to compile a program in ubuntu 18.04 and use it in 14.04?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 11:05 AM PST

    That's probably a very stupid question, but I have the problem that I can't compile a program (zathura) in 14.04 due to outdated dependencies (glib). I suppose it would be easy (or at least easier) to compile it in 18.04. Can I copy the compiled binaries and use them in 14.04?

    Used RUFUS as DD to make a USB of Manjaro on two flash drives. The newest version of Manjaro won't work otherwise. Now gparted sees the drives, but can't touch them.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 08:58 AM PST

    I have tried formatting the drives, installing distributions the normal way, and even magnetized them with no joy. The drives are still usable. I can put things on them, put distros on them, etc. I just can't use gparted to partition them. The only thing I can think the try now is DBAN. They are large drives, so it would be a bummer to take that long only to find out it didn't work. Ideas?

    Installing the Latest Nvidia Drivers?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 09:21 AM PST

    Hi there, I'm trying out Linux again for the first time in awhile to give Steam Play a shot. I wanted to update my drivers to the latest so that I can make sure I'm getting the proper performance. I've Googled for a bit and most of the installation guides seem much more involved than might be necessary. Even if they're not I'd appreciate the terminal commands being explained so I'm not just typing them in willy nilly. Thanks so much for the help :)

    EDIT: I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 my bad for not including it.

    What differentiates a desktop OS, a server OS and a pentest OS?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 07:07 AM PST

    Linux noob here. I'm curious what's the big difference between all of these specifically designed OS. If we just slapped a GUI on a server OS, can't we treat it like a desktop OS? If we just added some pentest tools to a desktop OS, can't we just treat it like a pentest OS? What are the fundamental differences between them other than the tools anyone can add and remove? Does the kernel work differently? What makes Kali Linux different from Debian with pentest packages? Thanks in advance.

    Building a pc to learn and use Linux/Ubuntu

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 11:54 AM PST

    I'm assuming the ram, psu, hard drive won't matter for comparability but what about the CPU/Motherboard

    Would I be better with this Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8 GHz 6-Core Processor and MSI - H310M PRO-VDH Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

    or AMD

    ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac AM4 mITX AMD Motherboard AMD Ryzen 5 2400G

    I'm hoping the AMD will work fine due to already having the cpu and I choose the other ones because they're currently open box at my local microcenter and rather cheap

    How to use xrandr to identify display-names? Further, is there any way to get my USB--->VGA cable to 'work'/be recognized by my laptop? Thanks :D

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 02:01 PM PST

    I'm using Mint w/ XFCE on a dell e7440, it's got 2 outputs an HDMI and a Mini DisplayPort, anyways I'd already had a 2nd display but am trying to setup a 3rd right now actually it's what I'm looking at while typing right now but w/o the MiniDisplayPort--->HDMI cable that I should get onto Fasttech for, I'm hoping to get this new display to work with my USB--->VGA cable!

    Also, how do I use xrandr in the terminal to determine display-names? The new wall-mount 'monitor' (26" TV) is good but too-bright and causing eye strain, IIRC it's `xrandr --output OUTPUT NAME --brightness 0.00--->1.00value` to adjust brightness (are there other adjustments here? Sadly, the new TV was a freebie and while it's sharp HD it does not have a remote! Figured it's no problem as I've got a better TV as the 'media TV' and this one's just for browsing but would still love just 1 session with its remote to adjust all the settings, I'm the type that adjusts my TV's settings before watching anything to fine-tune them to what I'm watching ;D )

    Thanks a ton for any guidance on this one!!!

    Brand New to Linux

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 09:36 AM PST

    I had an old Lenovo Z580 that I replaced as my main computer, but kept as a backup and mostly used to watch streaming movies and do a little net surfing. Finally though, it developed so many Windows problems it became unbootable, so i installed Linux Lite, first booting from a USB stick, then installing fully. So far, so good. I'd like to keep using the Logitech Keyboard and mouse I'd been using, but I can't seem to get the computer to use them. I go to the device manager and I see it recognizes the Logitech unifying USB dongle I have inserted, and also lists the various mice I've used with it as recognized devices. It also recognizes the Logitech K800 wireless keyboard I'd had hooked up to it. But when I go to Settings>Hardware>Mouse and Pointing devices, select one of the mice on the list, and check "enable this device" I get nothing. I've turned the mouse off and on, reinserted the USB device in every port, and still get no joy. And when I go to "keyboard", the K800 is not even on the list.

    I heard about a program called Solaar that apparently helps manage Logitech unifying receivers for Linux, but when I tried to install using the command line, I get a message saying "This doesn't have a release package, we can't verify it, so installation is disabled by default" (I'm paraphrasing of course).

    As you see from the title, I'm a total novice with Linux, although I've been wanting to try it for a while. I'm sure there's something completely obvious I'm missing, so any help will be humbly appreciated.

    Help with installing Linux Mint on a USB stick

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 12:15 PM PST

    Hey! I've recently decided to partially switch to Linux and Mint was my distro of choice. I only have a laptop with very minimal space so I have to install it on a USB stick. I have two sticks, one with 16gb and another with 32gb. I used Rufus to install a live version of the OS onto the 16gb one and then proceeded to install the full OS on the 32gb one. I followed a tutorial throughout this process. A text box came up telling me the installation was successful. I then shut down the computer and removed the 16gb USB stick. When I booted up the computer into the boot menu however, it only showed Windows boot manager. There's no option to boot into Linux. All the Linux files are on the USB stick. How can I fix this? Thank you in advance.

    Dual booting with Windows

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 06:47 AM PST

    I was able to install Linux Mint on my system with windows perfectly, but I used the "install alongside windows" option in the installer and it used up all the space in the empty partition. I changed to the "something else" option so I could customize how much space is allocated of the partition. However, what additional partitions does Linux require? Root home and swap if I'm not mistaken?

    Ubuntu problems with Radeon VII?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 10:09 AM PST

    Specs:
    MB: ASUS X470-I (Latest BIOS, Secure Boot: Other OS(Cant choose off), Fast Boot: Off)

    CPU: Ryzen 2700x

    GPU: Radeon VII

    I'm currently dualbooting Windows 10 and Ubuntu on one SSD(500GB). Windows was installed first and then Ubuntu so my grub works fine for me to choose what to boot.

    Windows works perfectly fine.

    Ubuntu on the other hand has been extremely problematic....first, right after a fresh install I just get a black screen with a blinking line on the top left after the purple ubuntu splash screen, I fixed it by doing something with CNTRL+ALT+F2(or 3, don't remember) and then installing lightdm, now I remember a few times this not being consistent, I know after a series of purges, reconfigurations and such, gdm3 or lightdm worked at some point, it's probably lightdm.

    Logging in, the resolution is completely wrong and there's severe ghosting(Move a window, but an image of it stays where it was, and the new location punches holes through the fake window to show me where some things are but not all). AMDGPUPRO drivers fail to install because of dkms, installing dkms says it's already installed?

    Changed kernel to 4.20.10, resolution is fixed, ghosting is fixed, but now some pages crash on firefox, like amds own front page.

    I can also only login using "Ubuntu with Wayland", everything else just loops on the login screen, I tried installing Cinnamon because that's what I want to use, and it also doesn't work.

    I tried installing oibaf ppas and padoka ppas for some mesa drivers, but nothing ever showed up on my drivers list for me to switch to.

    So I'm kind of lost, all the "fixes" I find just lead to more problems, am I using a wrong kernel? Am I using wrong ppas? wrong drivers? wrong version of Ubuntu? I don't understand.

    I tried installing Linux Mint at one point but it was just stuck in software rendering mode.

    I want to use Ubuntu, and hopefully proprietary AMD pro drivers with my Radeon VII just in case SR-IOV gets released for it, so I can run a virtual machine of Windows 10.

    Debian 9: Multiple Failures During Startup

    Posted: 27 Feb 2019 06:21 AM PST

    Recently I was using my notebook in a normal session when, suddenly, the network interface stopped working. I manually shut down the system (couldn't do it via LXDE neither via terminal) expecting that things would be fixed in the next session.
    However, during the startup, several errors appeared:

    • Failed to start Network Time Synchronization
    • Failed to start Raise network interface
    • Timed out waiting for device dev-di
    • Failed to start Light Display Manager
    • Failed to start OpenSSD Secure Shell server
    • ... etc ...

    When reaching the login screen (via terminal since the GUI stopped working), it keeps asking for username in a continuous loop, which prevents me from accessing the system and trying to fix the problem:

    I found several tutorials that might help. However, all of them requires to be logged in order to access configuration files. Therefore, I'm somewhat stuck.

    Any ideas?

    Help configuring Rasberry Pi openVPN.

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 03:53 PM PST

    Okay, so I used the following guides to setup my Raspberry pi: Link one, Link two.

    I have almost everything set up successfully, I have openVPN running in a screen so I can exit and it will keep running, and I have connected to Deluge on my PC through the local IP. I need to make sure there is no possible way for any of my Deluge traffic to go through anything except openVPN. I am using private trackers and I cannot have it ever leak my real IP into the swarm. How can I do this?

    Also, very minor thing here I tried to download the BTGuard torrent file from the link in the guide and it kept spinning and spinning without ever downloading. Is the site down for anyone else?

    I can cross-post this elsewhere but it is about IP routing on linux so I didn't think there would be a more appropriate sub that this one.

    Thanks for any and all help!

    edit: i have found a few threads about it now, this link, says that I can start Deluge under a certain user and all traffic of that specified user can be forced to go through the interface of the VPN but I need to be able to access it on local network and not through the VPN's IP
