    Accidentally moved everything from /

    Posted: 14 May 2019 10:27 AM PDT

    So, I did something really dumb...I ran

    mv /* ../ 

    while trying to move files from my /opt/Radarr-4K/Radarr directory to /opt/Radarr. I should've typed the absolute path but I was trying to be short handed and lazy...well, I ended up moving everything from /* to /opt/Radarr-4K. I didn't realize what I had done until it was too late. I couldn't run

    ls 

    so I figured I had to log out to reset the PATH variables for some reason. Now I can't SSH back into the server. Is the only recourse to go to the local machine and move everything back?

    Have Cron send an email when a task is completed

    Posted: 14 May 2019 01:18 PM PDT

    Previously Cron would send me an email when a user task was completed. However, I upgraded to Linux Mint 19.1 and it has stopped sending an email saying if the task was completed or not. Is there some command I can put in crontab -e so that it will send me an email?

    TIA.

    Fix Dual Boot Linux/Windows

    Posted: 14 May 2019 10:15 AM PDT

    I recently installed Linux Mint 19.1 alongside Windows 10. At the moment, the computer automatically boots into Windows 10. When I press F8 at startup, I get the following interface.

    https://i.redd.it/poskxeg2l7y21.jpg

    (I had previously installed Ubuntu on this PC but have now replaced it with Linux Mint, maybe this is why it shows ubuntu twice?) The first option boots into Windows. The second and third options are identical and open Grub from where I can boot into Linus Mint.

    I would like to change my boot configuration so that I automatically boot into Linux Mint unless I choose to boot into Windows. Ideally I would also like to remove one of the redundant 'ubuntu's in the picture above. However, I am scared to break the boot process by playing around with the boot settings.

    If it helps, I ran the bootinfoscript which produced the following output.

    Run from USB?

    Posted: 14 May 2019 05:32 AM PDT

    I reeally want to try out some linux distros without creating a dual boot on my mac. I have a macbook air with a limited hard disc space.

    Can I boot from a USB and try out some distros directly from the usb? Or should I just get another machine to test things out?

    Need help for installing software (Mint 19.1 Cinnamon)

    Posted: 14 May 2019 06:29 AM PDT

    Hi! So here's the thing. I'm going to install Mint 19.1 Cinnamon on my 2-year-old PC. However, I ran into one problem. You see, I have 2 disks in my PC, a 240 GB SSD and a 4 TB HDD. I want to install Mint on my SSD, and I want to install all my games as well as copy files to my HDD. How do I do that? It's bothering me because whenever I install a new program from Mint's Software Center it will install it to SSD and I want it to be installed on the HDD. Any help? Also, another question.. If I run .exe installer with Wine, will it ask me where I want that specific program to be installed or does it just install everything on system drive (in my case, SSD)? I really hope someone can help me, it's my first time using Linux on actual hardware and I really like it, but because of this it prevents me from using it :/ Thanks in advance

    Script to stop ffplay execution.

    Posted: 14 May 2019 07:43 AM PDT

    So within my python script I want to call ffplay with the flags for no display and auto exit on finished song:

    from subprocess import call def play(file): call(['ffplay', '-nodisp', '-autoexit', file]) 

    So far so good but additionally I'd like to stop the playback prematurely upon certain conditions. How would I do that? Are there alternatives to ffplay which make this easier ? The only thing I found in their documentation is about exiting on mouse or keypress, nothing about a script triggered exit. Thanks for reading!

    mount hard drive on boot?

    Posted: 14 May 2019 10:52 AM PDT

    I have to mount my hard drive after every boot so that i can access it or so that the download files or whatever can actually download without having issues. Is there a way to mount partitions or the whole drive automatically without having to actually open the file manager and mount the partitions?

    Linux Subsystem for Windows...?

    Posted: 14 May 2019 06:09 AM PDT

    So I've been hearing a lot about Linux Subsystem for Windows, but I still don't fully understand it. Is it literally running Linux alongside Windows or is it a fancy dual boot option or just a glorified VM? And I also heard Windows is running a Linux kernel now... Does that mean they dumped the NT kernel completely? I don't think that would be the case because then it wouln't be Windows anymore, but another Linux distro... Or am I reading it wrong?

    [HELP] Mic issues on many linux distros

    Posted: 14 May 2019 05:49 AM PDT

    Umm i think im very much a lost redditor but i'll really appreciate any help i could get, as most of the solutions available on youtube/tomshardware/other reddit posts has not offered any help in my case

    so i started off using Linux Mint and my friends told me the audio they heard from me was really distorted and had static in it...
    i could too, hear distorted sounds but not from my own mic, but any system/application sounds.

    so then i tried Ubuntu, and well, same issues...
    so my pc specs are kinda meh tbh
    CPU - Ryzen 5 1600
    MotherBoard - Gigabyte AB-350M-Gaming 3
    Ram - G.SKill ripjaws V 3200 MHz
    GPU - GTX 1060 3gigs

    then kali linux, again, same issue

    and now im on Solus and the system/app sounds are working fine but my mic is still shit, even on un-amplified settings...

    im completely lost on how to fix this, i'd be very grateful for any help.

    Thank you all!

    Dual boot Linux/Windows on 2 SSDs

    Posted: 14 May 2019 09:23 AM PDT

    Hey guys!

    Linux noob here. So I finally want to enter the linux world with Ubuntu, and was thinking about doing a dual boot with windows 10. Linux mainly for developing, and windows for gaming. I have a xiaomi notebook pro with 2 ssds, the default one with windows 10 on it and a 970 evo plus that I didn't touch yet (just received it). One thing to notice though, this laptop has only one PCle x4 slot, while the second one is only x2. So regardless the second ssd will be way slower.

    So I was wondering what was the best solution here in term of performance. I heard that partitioning a ssd wouldn't be the best idea as it could decrease its performance. So is it more optimized to separate both os on their own ssd? Or is it better to split them into one ssd (ideally the fastest one) and save the 2nd one for the other files (movies, pictures etc)?

    Thanks for your help! :)

    (Help) chroomebook keeps restarting despite hard reset

    Posted: 14 May 2019 12:27 AM PDT

    Evening. I downloaded ubuntu on my chromebook a while back, but recently had it reset by a mate. I removed all the linux esc things I've had on it, but everytime I start it up it always restarts when I try to set it up or when I use a usb with windows recovery. I'm assuming I missed files, or the chromebook is still trying to boot ubuntu. Any concrete solutions? Cheers mate

    How risky is plugging in a generic Bluetooth adapter into a Linux machine?

    Posted: 13 May 2019 10:21 PM PDT

    I bought a USB Bluetooth adapter for literally five dollars including shipping, which says it is natively supported by Linux (i.e. without drivers), but now I'm kind of sketched out by it. Nowhere on either the device or the packaging are there identifying marks associated with the identity of the vendor or manufacturer, so I'm kind of paranoid that it might have something malicious in it. I still want Bluetooth on my machine but money is tight at the moment. Should I just use the generic Bluetooth adapter? What's the worse thing that can happen with a Linux computer, and are there any ways I can test if the device is malicious or not?

    Help me get the most out of my hardware.

    Posted: 14 May 2019 03:19 AM PDT

    I have a pretty strong laptop (i7 8550U, 16GB RAM, 940MX).

    I'm using this computer to get my bachelor's in computer science, and I'm looking for a distro that can take advantage of that. I've been using Manjaro xfce, but since I'm a total distro hopper, I wanted to know if there's something more.

    Which Linux distro for an ASUS Eee PC 900A?

    Posted: 14 May 2019 05:55 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I'm not 100% noob but close to it. I have acquired ASUS Eee PC 900A with a 16GB SSH & 1GB RAM. It's currently got eeeBuntu loaded.

    I need this laptop for exactly 1 reason - it will live in my garage and be used to connect using a USB port to the ECU of my Moto Guzzi motorcycle using GuzziDiag.

    Am I better off leaving as things are or is there a better distro to put on the eeePC?

    Your advice gratefully received.
