| Is my hardware good for Linux Gaming? Posted: 30 May 2019 11:20 AM PDT I have decided that I want to ditch Windows. I have chosen Manjaro KDE as the distro I want to install and I wanted to ask if I will have any problems with hardware compatibility. Thanks! EDIT: Might actually go with Pop!_OS because it works with .deb files which makes it easier for me (a noob). I also have a dual monitor setup. 1080p 144Hz and 900p 60 Hz. Please tell me if I will have issues. Thanks again! My hardware is: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 8 GB of 2400 Mhz RAM A 250GB SSD A 1TB HDD [link] [comments]  |

| Copy .jpg files from many subdirectories Posted: 30 May 2019 10:02 AM PDT I have numerous .jpg files spread among multiple (many!) directories. There are also other files in those directories, I'm not interested in them. Is there a way I can only look for the files with that extension, and copy them all in one directory (using bash)?

| Posted: 30 May 2019 12:30 PM PDT So I don't know if this is the best place to post this... I posted this in r/linux_gaming but was told that it's not a support forum and should come here or r/linuxquestions. I have a problem with running FFXIV using Lutris and DXVK. The launcher runs and I can install the game and even press play but the game window opens in black with either of the errors i stated in title of this post. There are few others sometimes but all of them start with dinput8.dll+00000 (replace 00000 with some random numbers and letters). I am not using steam for this I have the game through the official website so even after i went to proton i found nothing that I could use. I went to Wine configuration and added dinput8 in libraries tab. But no luck. I also tried enabling x360ce support using game configurator in Lutris but that didn't work infact the game doesn't launch at all and crashes outright. Not even black screen like i've been getting previously. The game does manage to run sometimes and works however as soon as I exit the game it have trouble getting it to work again. EDIT: To clarify on the "Sometimes it launches". I still get the error but despite the error the game works. When I try to close the game I get the error again and can't get it to work again. EDIT: When the game launches it's detecting some controller because the character screen is rotating constantly as if somebody is holding right stick on controller and somehow right mouse button causes map to open. but there is no controller plugged in. I have to go into game system configuration in-game and disable gamepad for it to stop and behave normally. EDIT: Wine Log - https://pastebin.com/futgGSAR [link] [comments]  |
| Linux Noob: need help with running executable file Posted: 30 May 2019 12:04 PM PDT I am currently trying to install linux and I was going to get on firefox to search the web for some things while on the linux mint 19 distro. I noticed that I couldn't connect to the internet at my college due to my college requiring a file called "serviceinstaller.exe" and it's basically a contract for students to obey the rules on their internet and allows them access to see what we do on our devices or something along the lines of that. But i need that file in order to get access to the internet, but I can't actually run the file due to it being a ".exe" file. So i'm looking for help to try and get around this somehow or to run this file in some way? I have read that I could install and application called Wine but I can't install it without the internet.

| Multi display scaling wont work Posted: 30 May 2019 11:47 AM PDT Ive looked everywhere and tried but I cannot get KDE Manjaro to scale properly with my monitors. I have a 4k display, a 1080p display and a 2K display and I cannot get the scaling correct at all. I've tried xrandr and every time i set the scale it made my display go black. I am running a GTX 1080 with the latest nonfree drivers. Can anyone help me fix this before I jump ship back to windows? [link] [comments]  |
| Installing Solus without external hard-disk Posted: 30 May 2019 10:50 AM PDT I currently use Windows 10 and want to jump head first to Solus. I want to back up my Steam games, but I don't have external hard drive. This is my plan:-

It works fine when i change my boot seqence to legacy from UEFI, any help is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Can you game on open Nvidia (nouveau) drivers? Posted: 29 May 2019 06:30 PM PDT I've been trying to install binary Nvidia drivers but they don't work right. I would use the open source drivers but steam, minecraft, supertux, minetest, all won't run. Supertux boots buts is glitched and same with minetest. Is it possible to use nouveau on a 320m for gaming? [link] [comments]  |
| Firefox addon for integrating youtube and more with MPRIS? Posted: 30 May 2019 02:11 PM PDT What are my options to get multi media controls and notifications (MPRIS) for websites in firefox? I know KDE has some neat integration so that you can control e.g. youtube or soundcloud from the kde multimedia control widget. [link] [comments]  |
| Identifying why certain programs cause your computer to hog CPU Posted: 30 May 2019 02:03 PM PDT I use htop every time my computer starts running hot out of nowhere. Recently I have identified one culprit: Visual Studio Code! So I have the line in question: https://i.redd.it/5knfexmsxe131.png My question is, where do I go from here? Is there anything in that line that really tells me more about what the issue is? If it an extension for example. How do you really drill down on solving issues like this on your computer?

| Posted: 29 May 2019 10:21 PM PDT Hi, Could you please shed some light as to how much Linux knowledge is required for both data science, data engineering and database administration? Something on the RHCSA level or the RHCE level? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| netdata, the open-source real-time performance and health monitoring, released v1.15 ! Posted: 30 May 2019 12:15 AM PDT Hi all, we just released netdata v1.15 ! This release contains 11 Bugs Fixes and 30 Improvements. We are very happy and proud to include two major improvements in this release, an aggregated node view and the new database engine. You can read about Netdata Cloud and the future of netdata here: https://blog.netdata.cloud/posts/netdata-cloud-announcement/ Other major additions We have added support for the AWS Kinesis backend and new collectors for OpenVPN, the Tengine web server, ScaleIO (VxFlex OS), ioping-like latency metrics and Energi Core node instances. We now have a new, "text-only" chart type, cpu limits for v2 cgroups, docker swarm metrics and improved documentation. We continued improving the Kubernetes helmchart with liveness probes for slaves, persistence options, a fix for a Cannot allocate memory issue and easy configuration for the kubelet, kube-proxy and coredns collectors. Finally, we built a process to quickly replace any problematic nightly builds and added more automated CI tests to prevent such builds from being published in the first place. Improvements

| System settings not found in after KDE install Posted: 30 May 2019 03:05 AM PDT So I've been wanting to install KDE in my Linux Mint 19.1 cinnamon machine for a long while and final did it following this tutorial on YT. The things he(and I) installed were
From kubuntu-ppa/ppa Quite soon I realized that this install hadn't installed kwin as there were no title bars after multiple reboots and The kwin installed fine and on next install I got my title bars back. Now the problem is that, most of the stuff which usually comes with KDE like system settings, the screenshot tool, and some other stuff. Now this is a problem as the only reason I installed this was to theme my DE and I am unable to do it now. I do have some programs like Kdenlive, Konsole, etc but there is no place called system settings. But there seems to settings scattered all over for example, there is login window settings, fonts settings, etc. This is is the current situation Please help get a proper working version of kde and steps I need to take to do so.

| Nautilus always blocks access to USB devices (even with sudo privileges) !! Posted: 30 May 2019 02:00 AM PDT Unless I open nautilus with root access it will always open an empty folder with 'no permission to access' error ... it happens with any NTFS USB device I connect !! I have sudo privileges in the system so this doesn't solve the issue too. I remember it worked correctly the first week I installed Ubuntu 18.04 but after a while this strange issue happened without any indicative reason behind it. Can someone explain the reason for this ?

| Posted: 30 May 2019 07:15 AM PDT Im sure this had been asked many times over. I am sick of ubuntu, all their distros cause me headaches and nothing but issues. Don't like feel of ubuntu. kubuntu always bugs out, selecting icons and not letting deselect them, cant restart or power down without holding power button on pc, windows leave trails when dragging and does not clear off. Xubuntu does not like to install nvidia drivers, always failing to install 3 files they need, seems to be common issue. Ubuntu budgie installed great updated fine went to restart and would not let me log in to my account. Tried wrong password on purpose said incorrect password, so i know it's not a password issue just decided to not give me access. So i would like to look into some different distros. I have tinkered with only ubuntu since about 2005, and have always had issues so i end up back on windows. I wad thinking about Debian, but started having seconds thoughts because that's what ubuntu is based on, so maybe that's where my issues lay? Then again maybe it's not and it's ubuntu. What about fedora or open suse? Also open to other options. Keep in mind im not real familiar with linux on the deep end of things. Would be nice for software to simply be installed. I don't mind googling how to install something with a few lines of code, but when it comes to having to basically build the programs i get confused and things start to mess up even more. For example when i install steam it would let me download the .deb file and i would install it that way, i think i saw a .rpm file before which i assume would be for fedora. This is for a spare computer that will be mostly used for watching Netflix or youtube, maybe some light casual gaming. Amd 6300 3.5 ghz, 16gb ram, low end graphics card gtx 740 i do believe. My main computers power supply took a dump so I'm tinkering with this one for awhile. I like the look and feel of the budgie environment from what little i got to use it. Xfce wasn't bad either. Kde is nice but I'm not sure if the bug experience i had was due to a bug through kde or ubuntu. Just want something simple. Thanks for any input and advice. [link] [comments]  |

| speed limit for external storage with usb 3.0 or microsd? Posted: 30 May 2019 02:15 AM PDT hi, my ideapad 120s (4gb, 64gb emmc, celeron N3350, arch kde) is running somewhat low on space and I am thinking about an external disk, a usb drive or a microSD. I'm pretty sure, I only have usb 3.1 gen 1, could a ssd (via usb) still be faster or as fast as my emmc? And if not what speed should I expect? I actually would prefer a fast microsd, there are some with max 270 M/s, I guess that's too much for my microsd reader, is something like 150M/s still overkill? benchmarks: internal emmc: write=121M/s, read=167M/s Microsd (theoretical max 48 M/S): write=20.4 MB/s, read=39.2 MB/s write speed for an external hdd with usb 3.0 is 50MB/s I couldn't find a fast external ssd, if you have one, can you try to connect it to a 3.1 gen 1 port and share read/write speed? benchmarking done with dd, here are the commands and terminal output: https://pastebin.com/AxgMik9e and here's my previous post from linuxhardware [link] [comments]  |
| Trying to get previous user's account off of a second-hand PC [no root access or internet] Posted: 29 May 2019 03:46 PM PDT I have an old HP tower from 2006, it has Lubuntu 16.04 on it. I got is used the other day, and there is an account from the previous user on it. I do not have the password to it, but when i boot it up it starts logged in. I can't get it to connect to WiFi, but that's a separate problem. If you need more info, I can edit this with whatever. [link] [comments]  |
