    Linux Vim cheat sheet

    Linux Vim cheat sheet


    Vim cheat sheet

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 09:26 AM PST

    I love Mint, but there's one thing that makes me want to quit everyday.

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 05:01 AM PST

    The firewall. All I want is to block anything I want from accessing the internet but somehow I feel more locked down than on Windows. There I would just use an application like Simplewall & in 5 minutes I could block everything. Now I see tons of stuff on Wireshark but can't find a way to deny them access. I did tons of research & nothing.

    I'm not very skilled in network stuff but it shouldnt be that complicated...

    Difficulities playing Civ IV through Wine

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 02:13 AM PST

    I'm attempting to install the complete edition of Civilization IV, the GOG version.

    I installed Wine by following the instructions on it's installation page. Civilization IV installs fine when I double click it's installation .exe . I've encountered a bug where it quite often crashes when I try to load the game. I see that others have had the same problem and found a solution to it by using a winetrick:

    https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10158

    I saw that Lutris seems to make it easy to play with Wine Tricks, so I've tried to install the game from there. Only problem is, when I do so I receive this error:

    The executable at path /home/honeybeeoverlord/Games/sid-meiers-civilization-iv-the-complete-edition/drive_c/GOG Games/Civilization IV Complete/Civ4/Civilization4.exe can't be found, please check the destination folder. Check the destination folder, some parts of the installation process may have not completed successfully.

    There's no "GOG Games" folder inside "drive_c" folder. When I try to launch the game, it says "file not found".

    I tried to get it to work through Proton, I enabled Steam Play for games I don't own on Steam, but all it seems to do is try to launch Lutris. Bit confused about how to use Proton.

    I'm unsure how to proceed. Any help is appreciated

    Is there a way to record clipboard history EXCEPT coming from certain apps?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 12:09 PM PST

    I use KeePass, but it'd be nice to have everything not coming from it saved in a clipboard history somehow. While I was typing this I realized I could just open a document and paste everything in it, but is there a more integrated way to accomplish this?

    How to improve the usability of my terminal? (URxvt)

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 05:03 AM PST

    Hey guys, I am currently running Manjaro i3wm and have it setup the way I like it but one thing I would still like to have.

    As part of a software development course I am taking, we have to use macs, and in the terminal it shows quite a bit more information. The biggest one for me is the Git information.

    It tells you next to the caret what repo/branch you are on and I would love to have this in my distro. I am not sure what to search to find something like this.

    Any ideas?

    Water-cooling on Linux?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 10:51 AM PST

    I'm planning on installing a Linux distro (maybe Mint) on my custom-built computer, and I was wondering how Linux supports water-cooling. I'm currently running Windows 10 and I have a program called Corsair Link which controls the water-cooling, does Linux have an alternative to this?

    Also, do you think there will be any complications installing Linux on this computer? (I have only installed Linux on laptops before). Is there anything different with install Linux on desktops compared to installing on laptops? Is there anything I need to keep in mind?

    Specs

    CPU Intel Core i7-4790K
    CPU-cooler Corsair Hydro H100i GTX
    Motherboard MSI Z97 GAMING 5
    Memory Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 2400MHz (2 x 8GB)
    Video Card MSI GeForece GTX 980 Ti 6GB
    SSD 1 (Keeping Windows 10 on this) HyperX Savage 240GB
    SSD 2 (New to install Linux on) Samsung 860 EVO 500GB
    HDD Seagate Barracude 2TB
    Power Supply EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2

    Extra info

    I'm planning on formatting both the current SSD and HDD, reinstall Windows 10 on the old SSD, and install Linux on the new SSD

    awk - inverse matching multiple patterns not working as expected. What am I missing?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 12:44 AM PST

    So say I have a multiline string, TEST.

    # echo "$TEST" 1 0 1 1 1 2 2 0 2 1 2 2 

    If the last field matches either 0 or 1, it works as expected.

    # echo "$TEST" | awk '$NF == "0" || $NF == "1" {print}' 1 0 1 1 2 0 2 1 

    If I try to print records where the last field doesn't match either of them, it returns everything.

    # echo "$TEST" | awk '$NF != "0" || $NF != "1" {print}' 1 0 1 1 1 2 2 0 2 1 2 2 

    Why is that? Been searching for similar examples to no avail. If it matters, I'm using gawk 4.0.2.

    sudo -s -- Infinite Loop

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 10:12 AM PST

    Hello there,

    Everytime I run "sudo -s" in my terminal, it loads it infinitely. In other words, the following is what happens when I run sudo -s:

    ~>> sudo -s goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria goldcoin@goldcoin-pc Linux 4.19.24-1-MANJARO x86_64 18.0.3 Illyria 

    It does not stop until I close the terminal.

    I have checked ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc and was not able to find anything. To be honest, I do believe there is a "source" running constantly.

    Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.

    Advice on partitioning 500 SSD. Fresh off the Microsoft Kool-Aid

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 10:09 AM PST

    I am having issues. I used LMV on Ubuntu Server 18.04. I'm using i3wm. Everything works great, but I'm installing a lot of packages and applications as root, and the whole drive isn't available. I got steam working. I have reinstalled twice, and I don't think I fully understand what I've changed.

    I don't mind reinstalling again. I have a large external with my configs backed up.

    I've been using Ubuntu for about 2 weeks now and have been struggling to control my frustrations at everything needing much more "involvement" than I'm used to. How did you handle the transition from Windows/Mac ("OS knows what to do...dont worry about it") to Linux ("lol you're on your own, kid")?

    Installed Nvidia proprietary drivers but there’s no nvidia-settings

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 07:37 AM PST

    I've just installed LM 19.1. I've added the Graphics drivers PPA and installed the latest drivers (415) using "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall".

    Everything seems fine, the drivers seem to be installed, but nvidia-settings isn't installed.

    What can I do? I need nvidia-settings for changing some settings (obviously). Thanks!

    How to merge my second volume group in to the main volume group?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 06:39 AM PST

    I am using linux mint 19.1 and I have two hard drives ssd with linux in it and secondary 1TB hdd that is empty and I don't mind wiping it.

    Form what I could find on the internet is that I needed to use LVM.

    Here is what I made so far:

    sudo vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree mint-vg 1 2 0 wz--n- <111,29g 0 vgpool 1 0 0 wz--n- <931,51g <931,51g @:~$ sudo pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda2 mint-vg lvm2 a-- <111,29g 0 /dev/sdb1 vgpool lvm2 a-- <931,51g <931,51g @:~$ sudo vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree mint-vg 1 2 0 wz--n- <111,29g 0 vgpool 1 0 0 wz--n- <931,51g <931,51g 

    So there is two volume groups right now, the main one that I am working with right now, and the secondary that I want to merge in to the main one.

    Maybe someone can help me with this, or just point me to the right direction?

    How to stop 'did you mean ___?' in TTY?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 04:57 AM PST

    Ok, so I'm not a total noob in GNU/Linux. All my PCs and my home server run different Linux distros. The only thing left is my Windows 10 x86 tablet, because there are no drivers for the board (tried Debian with proprietary drivers - no sensor, no Wi-Fi, no sound, no battery). So I'm using Ubuntu on Linux Subsystem For Windows (basicaly full GNU/Linux system running as a Windows service without virtualization, you can even control running apps and daemons using Windows task manager), which only has a virtual terminal (I love tmux, vim and links, so that's no problem). But I have a light press keyboard and I mispress often, and each time it ignores input for a couple of seconds just to show this disgusting 'did you mean ___???' or 'the package __ is not installed, you can...'. I heard that you can switch this thing off somehow (if not uninstall it). I don't know how it's called to I don't know how to google it. How can I switch it off?
