| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 04:50 AM PDT What are some must-try Linux games that are usually found in the repositories? Was looking to do some light gaming. Of course there's "Battle For Wesnoth" and "SuperTuxKart". [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 01:06 PM PDT I have a windows machine that runs on a sdd. I have a spare sdd that I want to throw Linux on and put in same system so I can boot from that when I want. Since windows is installed already what's the best approach? I've read to unplug the windows ssd, plug in new, install Linux then connect both. Would this be the best way? Thanks a lot.

| Trying to use ESC key to stop xkill Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:32 PM PDT I've managed to installed xkill and set a shortcut to run the program. However, when I use the shortcut and for whatever reason decide not to use it, I can't figure out a way to end the program other than clicking on an empty part of the desktop space? What can I do to modify the behavior of the shortcut to also allow the functionality of pressing [link] [comments]  |

| Genymotion increase internal storage space Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:24 PM PDT This post has grown from the unsolved question on SO Genymotion increase internal space. I faced this problem when trying to migrate several apps from phone to VM to save space on my phone. After deep studying and multiple attempts, I realized that Genymotion is the most advanced and easy-in-use Android VM. Unfortunately, Genymotion is installing Android VM with 13GB of internal space by default. There's no easy way to increase internal spaceI writing here the plan which consists of ~10 steps. That plan will lead you to any amount of internal space, that you want. First of all, we should increase vmdk size. The easiest way to do it is by using the default Virtualbox media tool. I dunno why, but you cannot resize vmdk directly. You need to copy Change and apply new size. Copy vdi to convert it back to vmdk and add final Change a volume of internal spaceThe volume of internal space depends on metadata of written filesystem. We need additional VM to manipulate filesystem metadata. I used Ubuntu 18.04 in live mode. Attach 64 GB vmdk as storage in Ubuntu VM settings dialogue to have access to 64 gb vmdk disk layout and filesystem. Resizing filesystem is very easy process:
Profit! Setup Android VM with new internal storageReplace in VM settings on storage tab Profit!Run your Android VM from Genymotion and be happy! ^__^ That's most easiest way to resize internal storage volume, that I know :) [link] [comments]  |

| Mumble pausing and playing applications as well as muting them Posted: 30 Apr 2019 01:19 PM PDT As the title says, mumble is pausing applications on launch, as well as muting them when Mumble is launched. It is also auto-playing VLC or Spotify if they are open when I shutdown mumble. The googling I did didn't lead me to a fix for this annoying behavior. What I found didn't work for me. I tried https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/314992/teamspeak-mutes-other-applications and its solution didn't change anything. I'm running Solus GNOME. Any help disabling this would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| A Linux replacement for Visual Studio Posted: 30 Apr 2019 10:27 AM PDT Hello, I have been getting into Linux, and I have been wondering, is there a replacement for Visual Studio for Linux? It's pretty important to me to have an IDE that supports C# compiling on my OS. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Is It Safe To Mark All Packages As Auto Removable? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 09:42 AM PDT When I look at the list of manually installed packages in Debian there's a lot that I didn't install (or don't remember). If I changed all manually installed packages that I don't recognise to auto would I lose anything important? When you first install Linux what keeps all of the packages from being auto-removed?

| Can't get Linux to install on my PC Posted: 30 Apr 2019 07:20 AM PDT Hello everyone! I'm using an Acer Nitro on W10 and I've been trying to install Linux (to dual boot) for over a month now, but it never works for some reason. I've been trying multiple distros such as Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Mint but it always end up the same way, so maybe I'm doing something wrong? What I usually do is: I put Linux on my USB flash drive using Rufus, install Linux on it either using by prioritazing launch in the BIOS or by pressing F12. The installation goes well, and it tells me that it has to reboot to be completed, which I do. Then, my screen freezes for a few minutes and I end up with some errors on a black screen. Something about no cache, I believe. So, I force reboot myself, and I get to launch Linux. I have the main screen with the distro in which they ask for my password, so I type it and then: black screen. No error, just a black screen and I can't do anything so I have to go back to W10. I tried disabling secure boot as told but it hasn't changed anything. Thanks for anyone willing to try and help me out :) [link] [comments]  |
| It is possible to add CentOS 7 server to Windows Server DHCP? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:01 PM PDT I reserved IP and assign mac adress of Centos but centos still has old ip even after reboot... [link] [comments]  |
| I'm unhappy with current distro Posted: 30 Apr 2019 03:36 AM PDT Hello. Ubuntu is my current distro only because of a large community and apt. The problem is that I don't like using it. I can't seem to find a distro that is right for me. I hate distrohopping. I've tried various distros from Debian to Arch, Fedora to Elementary but no distro seems to fit my needs. I really want to switch to Linux. What do I do? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the less buggy Os you know? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 07:16 AM PDT I read posts that you write here and I can't help myself but think that there are bugs in every Os possible. But, if you have to pick one, a single one, that you believe that has the less bugs of all the Os. What would it be? And I speak of actual Os that people use and care about. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 07:00 AM PDT I'm putting together a little render farm, and I'm learning Linux. Trying to start on the right foot and put things in their right place. Makes sense not to have to install apps locally on clients if they can just come off the server - only one thing to keep updated - but I'm not sure where I should mount my read-only "SERVER001/APP_BINARIES" share on my clients (and that huge "what's where in linux" PDF is... huge... I'm working my way through it). In a similar vein, where would you mount, say, media libraries - not for streaming/personal use, but as a "permanently attached resources" kinda thing. I've lots of stock footage, textures, audio, other assets for use in my projects, all on a NAS at the mo, and while I'm developing my own folder structures / naming conventions and moving stuff to a proper server, it'd be good to know what linux-specific standards there are.

| I'm having trouble getting games to work with WINE, could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Posted: 29 Apr 2019 10:30 PM PDT I'm on Ubuntu version 18.04, thinking about switching to Mint though because I like the UI better. I've been trying to install MTG Arena to my laptop for 2 days and it'll say it's installed but it won't open when I click on it. Sometimes when I reinstall it after it fails to work and I delete it the app won't even have a shortcut available in my app drawer. I don't know what I'm doing so any help is appreciated. My laptop's specs are: I haven't tried installing any other apps with WINE so I don't know how those apps would react to attempts to install them either. I get through the installer for the game, but once it's installed only sometimes does it actually display a shortcut in my app drawer, the rest of the time it only shows up in the WINE uninstaller when I search for that. While I'm here, I also need help figuring out how to install display drivers, The installer for MTG Arena is all kinds of messed up in terms of graphics, and I think it's a driver issue. Any help you guys could give me for figuring this out is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| How do I make my Radeon R9 200 video card work with Vulkan on Arch Linux? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 10:00 AM PDT Because I've tried -EVERYTHING- (installed vulkan-icd-loader with vulkan-radeon, amdgpu-pro, amdvlk packages. Then with lib32 versions of em. And then with git right on the aur packages. And then by manually copying and paste'ing everything) and absolutely nothing has worked. Seriously, I'm about to pull my hair out over here.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 09:27 AM PDT Hello, I just learned that Lithium-based batteries are better off left on AC power rather than have them go thru the cycles: charged to 100%, and then unplugged to "drain" to 20%, charged again, and so on. (I will then henceforth be plugging my laptop every time I use it.) And then I read about "charging thresholds" (some from Lenovo's forums) in which some 40/60% Start/Stop charging magic is nice for the battery's life. My problem is that I can't find info on whether my laptop has its vendor parts that would allow (or would have allowed) me to change such settings. Other Lenovo models (including Thinkpads) have a certain "manager" in which charging could be stopped at, like, 80%. And, if I understand correctly, this can be accessed via BIOS if the laptop boots on Windows...but I only have Linux Mint (19.1). Is there a way to access that Lenovo feature so that I can adjust the charging triggers? I want to set the 40/60% thresholds. BUT...that's mainly because I'm not sure whether plugging this brand new laptop every time I use it—at 100% battery—is okay. I see there are opposing opinions about this...but if something better could be done then why not. (I'm quite convinced, though, because I notice that Psensor's temperatures are lower when laptop's on AC power.) Many TIA! [link] [comments]  |
| Guidance on CalDav and CardDav server Posted: 30 Apr 2019 05:38 AM PDT Hi good people. I am currently running a Nextcloud instance on my home server, but i don't ever use the "file storage" feature. I am only using Nextcloud to host my calendar, contacts and my tasks. I would like to know if i can get rid of Nextcloud and only host some sort of calendar, contacts and tasks "server". Is it CalDav and CardDav I am looking for? If so, will CalDav and CardDav cover tasks as well? And are there any guides you know of that are noob friendly on how to set this up on Ubuntu server 18.04? Best regards. [link] [comments]  |
| Need some GRUB help with RAID change! Posted: 30 Apr 2019 09:20 AM PDT Hey all, I didn't get any help on Stack Overflow or /r/linuxquestions so here goes: I have Solus on my wife's computer installed fully onto a 128gb SSD. I had a fresh 1tb HDD and our old 1tb HDD that I decided to put into RAID 1 following this tutorial. Everything completed perfectly but when I rebooted after both drives showed "active sync", the computer won't boot fully! I get to GRUB and it shows entries fine, I select the usual (5.0.2 or something like that), the cursor flashes in the top left and I briefly see something along the lines of "initramfs" and then the screen is blank. What can I do to salvage this situation??? I can only assume that all of my data is currently on both hard drives (I have a third copy on a network drive but it's slow as hell to access so I'd rather not resort to using it). How can I get back to booting? I tried unplugging the sata cable from each drive independently (while the computer was off) and booting but I get the same result each time. I tried both cables unplugged and still nothing. Solus was installed 100% onto the SSD so why can't I boot with both drives unplugged?!?! Thanks everyone! [link] [comments]  |
| Could use some help with VNC (Debian) Posted: 30 Apr 2019 04:55 AM PDT Hi all. Recently got vncserver installed and configured (running over SSH). Unfortunately when I connect I just get the grey screen, not even the terminal. I've tried updating my ~/.vnc/xstartup file but i'm not seeing any changes. Here's the current config. [pound]!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & x-window-manager & [pound] Fix to make GNOME work export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 /etc/X11/Xsession My research indicates I may need to add exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to the file, but i'm not sure where this needs to go in the file. I also don't know if I need to comment out the Xsession part or anything. Thanks in advance for the help. [link] [comments]  |
| Cross-Desktop Power management Posted: 30 Apr 2019 08:31 AM PDT Not sure if im asking the right question but: Is TLP Desktop/WM/Wayland-x11 agnostic? I'm on OpenSUSE Gnome and cant seem to get TLP started. Also thought about switching to SwayWM and wanted to know if it would still work. [link] [comments]  |
| Cannot boot to encrypted LVM drive - unknown FS type crypto_luks Posted: 30 Apr 2019 01:54 AM PDT Cannot boot to encrypted LVM drive - unknown FS type crypto_luks📷 Hi all, so having some issues which I've spent quite some time trying to fix, but alas, it's still screwed. So rather smash my laptop up, thought I'd ask for some advice on here. When trying to boot via systemd, I get the error: Now, I have searched this and tried some different solutions, checking UUIDs and such but to no avail. Please see below my lsblk, fstab, arch.conf and crypttab: Evidently I've done something stupid, if anyone could point out what that is, I'd be thankful. Also, I do have encrypt and lvm2 in my mkinitcpio.conf and have ran mkinitcpio -p linux [link] [comments]  |
