| TIFU by creating an command that kills window on click Posted: 05 Feb 2019 04:43 AM PST I have an app that occasionally crashes on my system. To restart it I use - xprop to find PID, kill -9 to terminate. I thought it would be cool if I could terminate the app on xprop click. So i wrote a script to do that: It worked very well and I was happy about it! I went to my .bashrc to create an alias for it. I thought xkill would be a fitting name. Just before I assigned the alias I thought Ill check if the alias was not taken by anything else... And it was... xkill does function in exact same way my script does TL;DR created a script that already exist [link] [comments]  |

| Self-compiled kernel and headers - "This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules." Posted: 05 Feb 2019 10:27 AM PST I'm running a self-compiled 5.0-rc5 kernel. I've used this script to compile and install it including it's headers. Yet I still get this error when trying to install Virtualbox (or any other DKMS module for that matter):
What is going on here? Do I have to enable something special in the kernel config to be able to build DKMS module against it? [link] [comments]  |

I'm in my netplan and want to change it, but when I type the command: sudo netplan try (or apply) I get the following error message: This is my netplan config file: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: ens33: addresses: [192.168.250.12/24] gateway4: 192.168.250.1 nameservers: addresses: [192.168.250.1,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4] dhcp4: no I also have no ip address when I type ip a s How do I shut down other 'daemons' and get a permanent ip address?

| Laptop recommendations: Upgrade Surface Pro 3 or buy used laptop? Posted: 05 Feb 2019 09:55 AM PST TL;DR: My Surface Pro 3 is a terrible machine and I want recommendations for cheap ($250-$400) used laptop models to shop around for that work well with Linux. Primary use would be Java/Python/C/C++ development, notetaking, and occasionally general browsing or video streaming. ------------------------- Hi everyone, I currently have a Windows 10 Surface Pro 3 i7-4650U with 256GB SSD and 8GB ram but it's been failing on me for years and I'm finally ready to move on. I bought it in July 2015 (or around there) and it has just been a growing headache ever since. My issues with it are the keyboard and track pad quality, the pen, and also a somewhat large dead spot in the touch screen that requires the pen or touch pad to interact with. First, the keyboard quality is awful which is remedied in the Surface Pro 4 keyboard which costs a fair amount of money to upgrade to. Lately, my keyboard has stopped connecting and will not reconnect until I reboot the system and this extends to the track pad as well. On top of that, the system has developed a new habit of blue screening on reboots. I had to buy an aftermarket replacement pen which likes to continue writing on the screen after it's been lifted away. In summary, this device is just glitchy and unreliable, but I could always spend $200 upgrading the keyboard/pen and I could try re-imaging the system and installing Ubuntu instead of buying a new laptop. I am down to only 2 semesters of school remaining with many classes dealing with Linux, so I'm looking around at replacement laptops. I also have a nice desktop which serves as my primary computer for day to day browsing, homework, and tasks. Because of this, I'm looking at the used mid-range business laptop market to take to class with me. I've been looking at a lot of Thinkpad or Ideapad models on ebay but I'm not all that sure about device quality with those two lines. ------------------------- So my question: Is there a decent used device model in my price range (Quality keyboard/track pad, 1080p with decent screen, 8GB ram or upgradeable, 256GB SSD, i5 or Ryzen 5, and good battery life)? Or should I try to bring my Surface back to life? [link] [comments]  |
| How to connect to WPA & WPA2 wifi on ubuntu? Posted: 05 Feb 2019 01:30 PM PST Hi guys, I recently installed ubuntu 18.04 on my SB1. i have no issue connecting to wifi except when its WPA & WPA2 wifi. Please help me. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Can cURL's --resolve flag use a URL instead of an IP? Posted: 05 Feb 2019 09:28 AM PST I need to send an HTTP request to a given URL, but I have to spoof the URL being used to send the request (think external vs internal addresses). I've found that cURL has a --resolve flag, which lets you set an IP that a given url would resolve to. However, it doesn't seem to work with a hostname instead. Are there any options to do what I want? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2019 08:56 AM PST Hey guys, ID10T here, curious if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to enable the UPS plugin for netdata (Fedora), but I must be doing something stupid. I've downloaded apcupsd.conf and apcupsd.chart.sh. I've put apcupsd.chart.sh in /usr/libexec/netdata/charts.d/ I've put the edited version of apcupsd.conf in /etc/netdata/charts.d/ I've edited /etc/netdata/netdata.conf so that under [plugins] it states apcupsd = yes Not appearing, I'm assuming ID10T and the documentation for this plugin is a bit bare. Any help would be appreciated! [link] [comments]  |

| Is it normal for Ubuntu to be buggy? Posted: 05 Feb 2019 04:05 AM PST I've been a Windows user all my life but I decided to try out Ubuntu on my laptop. I've been using it for a little over a month and there are many things I do like about it. However, it seems to be far more buggy than Windows. One thing that really annoys me is the lock screen. It often will bug out and become non-responsive forcing me to reset it by either putting it to sleep or restarting my computer. Even turning off the lock screen doesn't circumvent this problem because when you close the laptop it forces a login screen (and there is no setting to stop this). Another example is interfaces with programs like F.lux randomly disappear. Normally there is an icon on the top task bar where you can pause or modify f.lux settings, but that randomly disappears (even when I know the program is still running) forcing me to try to open a gui manually, which often does not work. Forcing a restart. I was curious if this was just normal for Ubuntu to be noticeably more buggy than Windows (being a free software and all). Otherwise, what should I consider to reduce its bugginess? [link] [comments]  |
| Arch Linux: Issues on some commands and pn shutdown Posted: 05 Feb 2019 09:30 AM PST I've installed Arch once on my computer, it was very difficult to correct all errors, but I did it. Hardware problems occured and my official manufacturer repair formatted my computer. Now, I'm having the same problems, but without being able to fix them. I've been following the Arch Wiki and everything was going fine, until I needed to install Xorg. I needed to run the command: This doesn't occur because it ran out of RAM, because with On reboot/shutdown it hangs forever... Even on archiso Live USB, I received the message: My specs: Computer: MSI GL72M 7RDX RAM: 16GB CPU: Intel Core i7 (7th Gen) 7700HQ / 2.8 GHz Quad-Core GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Can anyone help me?

| Where do you backup or store your password manager's database files? Posted: 05 Feb 2019 02:38 AM PST Hi, gnu/Linux user here. I am planning to start with keepassxc as a password manager. I am curious about the best practice/place to store the database files containing encrypted password? How do you do it? Do you put it in the traditional cloud storage like google drive or dropbox? My target is to get it synced across multiple devices. [link] [comments]  |
| cifs module issue while trying to mount shares Posted: 05 Feb 2019 04:21 AM PST Hey guys, I am currently trying to mount my samba share folders on my linux machine but having quite a few issues that Google can't seem to answer, most of the problems go back to 2008 and the solution always seems to be a kernel update but afaik I am on the latest kernel anyway.

| Which Linux distro should I choose? Posted: 05 Feb 2019 01:17 AM PST I'm going to use it in a Dell Inspiron 9100. Primary using it to understand how it works, how to break it/destroy it/configure it etc. I'm thinking of using Slackware but is there any other distros I can tinker with? I used Ubuntu before but I'm still a noob :) Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Automatically spawn something into a currently open Tabbed instance? Posted: 05 Feb 2019 12:30 AM PST So, I'm currently messing around with a full suckless setup, just for fun and meme cred. So, the hypothetical ideal I'm aiming for is to script something to automatically spawn, say, a surf instance, into a currently open tabbed instance that already has other surf instances. I found a way to manually do it, using lsw, piping that out into dmenu, then sed'ing out the XID of the chosen tabbed instance window for surf -e 'XID'. So I need to find a way to list XIDs, then find which are tabbed windows, then find which tabbed window is the one with all the surf instances...and do it all automatically. I know that there has to be a way to do this, but I just don't have the right tools, or know which tools to use. Like, lsw just lists all the windows, it can't tell which are for tabbed. Xprop has more relevant information, but you have to manually click a window. I totally wouldn't be surprised if yhere was a simpler answer. Feel free to tell me to RTFM, but tell me which manual first. [link] [comments]  |
| Unsure about read and write permissions on an ext4 external hard drive Posted: 04 Feb 2019 11:50 PM PST I used GParted to format my external 1TB harddrive to ext4. When accessing it in the Dolphin file manager, I can't copy or move anything to it. This link suggests using the following command: Is that what I need? Suppose I connected my drive to someone else's computer or if I reformatted my drive. Would I have to run this command again or is it somehow saved in the "lost+found" folder on the drive?

| Posted: 04 Feb 2019 07:09 PM PST Hey guys I'm a cs major about to graduate and I want to be able to know my way around linux. What distro should I use for genuinely learning? I dont just want one that's most similar to windows I want one that can aid me in learning if that's possible. This will be my main OS if that changes anything. Forgot to mention my main goals are to be comfortable with it as my main OS and know my way around everything with the CLI [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2019 08:23 PM PST HI, I am looking for a way to have any USB drive mounted as the same SMB share. There would only be 1 USB drive attached at any one time. The idea being that network devices can write to the USB drive and it be removed for offsite access and replaced with another that the devices keep writing to the new USB drive at the same share location.
