| Posted: 01 May 2019 06:53 AM PDT As the title states, I'm looking for a bootable usb maker that's as user friendly as Rufus, and runs on Linux. This is one of the last few things it seems I need to find before I can switch [link] [comments]  |
| HWMonitor for linux? Specifically fan-speed and the stats HWMonitor can show on windows machines Posted: 01 May 2019 01:31 PM PDT Hey, I am looking for a simple tool to check my CPU/Chassi fan speeds. Additional features won't harm but not needed. Got any hints? Thanks a lot for answers [link] [comments]  |
| Open Source Linux Development Book Posted: 01 May 2019 11:15 AM PDT Hi. I am really interested learning Linux Kernel Development. However upon reading people's journeys and researching some Linux Kernel Development Books I came to conclusion that these books are although still relevant at basic level,were also quite a bit outdated. Which is normal considering there is new Linux kernel releases occasionally and of course you can't change book to make it useful for new kernel. So as beginner I think whole process can be much more beginner friendly.Also books are great to have structured learning for new kernel developers.Especially when ones like Eudyptula Challenge is currently closed for new users. That's why I created below repository. It would be Open Source Linux Development Book. With help of the open source community upon each kernel change and release book will be upgraded. Maybe we can write some tool to convert the Github book data to proper PDF as well so user can pull repository and quickly turn it into actual digital book.Also with tools like Git diff old users can see what changes happened on each part of the book so they can adapt their learning easily.Book content would be up to date and it would also include relevant exercises and such that is up to date. I know Github is great for such projects as there is many examples of resources shared on the Github. However I couldn't find something like this for Linux and I think it can benefit a lot. By making Linux Development introduction easier we can have more developers which can make development easier for other developers. So contributing to one resource can have really nice effects. If you are experienced about Linux kernel development please consider helping this project. Thanks. Repository link: [link] [comments]  |

| How do i dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows 10? Posted: 01 May 2019 11:48 AM PDT Hi so im just gonna get to the point I wanna learn to use ubuntu, so i can use it as my main OS and learn the Terminal! But i really dont wanna switch OS completely, since i wanna use Windows 10 for gaming. But ubuntu for everything else, reddit, youtube, movies etc etc. Basically use it as i am using Windows right now. And i heard you can dual-boot, so i have i can have both on one pc. But i googled around on how to, but it all seems so confusing. As you might have noticed, im not tech savvy at all. If there is a good tutorial you guys could link or just help me that would be really appreciated! Im also gonna list my specs if needed. Thanks in advance! Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU 3.00GHz AMD Radeon R7 200 Series 8GB RAM 2 Hard drives, one with 17 gb left and the other one with 265 left [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 May 2019 11:01 AM PDT Config file allows to change font family and size but I have no idea how to make it bold. I tried add "bold" at the end of the font name (like I have it in termite), or add :weight=bold, but nothing seems to work. [link] [comments]  |
| How to run a program even after closing the terminal? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 07:12 PM PDT I'm using zathura as a pdf viewer, but if I type "zathura text.pdf", the pdf shows up, but the terminal is still running, and when I close the terminal, the pdf also closes. However, when I open a pdf with zathura through the ranger file manager, the pdf stays even after I close ranger and the terminal. How can I do this without going through ranger? [link] [comments]  |
| GPU fans run at constant crazy speeds on any distro I try Posted: 01 May 2019 07:48 AM PDT Hello, this isn't my first time using Linux. I distrohopped for a few months some years back and never had an issue (same machine). My GPU is an R9 380 Today I wanted to get back into it so I downloaded some isos. I started with Pop!_OS. While booting, my pc started making a lot of noise. It's quiet for the first few seconds, but once the OS starts loading it goes nuts. I thought it was weird but eh, I assumed it was a live environment bug or something so I still installed it. I rebooted, still noisy. Did all the system updates, still noisy. At this point I opened my case and noticed that it was my GPU fans. I don't even feel safe keeping my pc on because of how fast those fans are going lol I then checked out Solus, Manjaro and Antergos. All of them made my GPU fans go nuts (the pc is quiet with Windows btw). I tried many different DEs too. All these distros also worked fine on VirtualBox on Windows. I'm assuming it's a driver issue but I have no idea where to begin to fix it, my Linux knowledge is close to 0 now [link] [comments]  |
| Why is environment variable from .bashrc not included in systemd process? Posted: 01 May 2019 10:33 AM PDT I've created a service in systemd to test whether an environment variable is available that is added in my .bashrc file for that user. But when systemd runs the service, the environment variable is not available and I would like to know what I am misunderstanding. In /etc/passwd it indicates that the shell which is used is bash: In /home/ubuntu/.bashrc: This environment variable is present when I login manually to this shell and printenv. This is /etc/systemd/system/testingenv.service, which just creates a log file and then logs whoami, id, and printenv: And the output to log file when I run this: So it is user ubuntu, but neither DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or NODE_ENV environment variables are present?

| Posted: 01 May 2019 07:26 AM PDT I am looking at getting rid of my ISPs router and have my own modem and computer do this job along with all other things I currently have under one hood such as VPN and NAS. I will also be adopting VLANs. I plan to gain full control over my home network. My question is for those who have done this or have experience in it. Do you notice any negative impacts to your internet service by doing this, such as reduced speeds or increased latency over an ISPs router, or are there any caveats you feel I should be aware of?

| KDE with NVIDIA proprietary drivers (GTX 1050 Ti) Posted: 01 May 2019 11:37 AM PDT Are there tearing issues, lag, freezes and such? I'm taking into consideration installing either Arch or Manjaro, and I would want to go with KDE as the desktop environment. This or I go with i3wm or dwm. :) Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Monitor randomly loses source while playing Tekken 7 with Proton. Posted: 01 May 2019 11:30 AM PDT I am not entirely sure where or how to ask this. Essentially, my monitor stops seeing my computer while I am playing Tekken 7 on Steam with Proton. I have not added any sort of launch option. It does not seem to matter if I switch the cable to the integrated card or the NVIDIA card slot, but it seems I can alt+tab to bring my monitor back. [link] [comments]  |
| Best resources for learning Linux best practices? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 08:06 PM PDT I've been using Debian for about a month now and the transition has gone relatively well. Slowly, I'm beginning to install new open-source software to replace functionality I had on Windows as I find it to be necessary. However, I have no idea if I'm breaking any best practices or what state I'm leaving my system in... As a longtime Windows user, running msconfig to check on startup programs and services, uninstalling applications seeing little use, running CCleaner on a regular basis, and clearing out random folders/files were all actions I could take to ensure the health of the OS. What are the best resources I can read/watch to become more informed on Linux (or more specifically, Debian) best practices? [link] [comments]  |
| How to use a keyboard shortcut to either open an app or switch to that app Posted: 01 May 2019 11:15 AM PDT I set keyboard shortcuts to open my most used apps. Alt+K opens KeePassXC, Alt+X opens my terminal, etc. It's helpful, but it'd be nice if I could a key to open an app, or switch to that app's window if it's already open. How would I do this?

| Posted: 01 May 2019 08:58 AM PDT After a reboot I idle at around .5GB memory usage. However, after a few hours/days my memory usage creeps up to the point that my entire laptop becomes a stuttery mess and I am forced to shut it off since it is entirely unresponsive. I'm using Manjaro and KDE. Anyone have any ideas? Here is htop sorted by memory usage. I am only running 2 tabs in chromium and a small vscode project yet I am sitting at 4 out of 8 GB. I was pretty much full until I went and closed everything else that was open. Edit: It is a Dell XPS 15 9560 with bumblebee set to have the dGPU turned off. [link] [comments]  |
| Remove "optional" dependencies Posted: 01 May 2019 01:49 PM PDT Hi there, I'm currently running Manjaro i3 community edition, which came with i3-gaps, rxvt-unicode, and a whole bunch of software with it. Since i've done the switch to Termite, I was planning on removing rxvt-unicode, and while doing that (with Pamac), it said that in order do delete rxvt-unicode i had to delete i3-gaps aswell with some more software. When i checked the packages on the Arch website, rxvt was an optional dependencies on i3-gaps , so why am i unable to remove rxvt? Is it due to way it was installed in the system, or am i doing something wrong? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Stuck with Ubuntu live medium after failed install Posted: 01 May 2019 12:34 PM PDT It just cannot install. So I'm downloading the ISO again. When I've downloaded the ISO again, what's the best course of action? The SSD (/dev/sda) is empty, so could I use GParted and attach it that way? [link] [comments]  |
| Real quick question on choosing a new distro. Posted: 01 May 2019 12:31 PM PDT I run Linux Mint and have been using it daily for awhile now, mainly for homework but sometimes for other things. I have become comfortable using it as opposed to Windows 10. I run it off of an SSD that's connected via usb and I boot it from the boot menu (like in Asus when you have to press f12 or the del button to open the boot menu). I'm expecting a laptop to come in tomorrow and I am thinking about changing distros. Should I do so, regardless of what I intend to do? And, the amount of distros out there are sort of overwhelming when trying to explore out of Linux Mint. I've used Ubuntu, but didn't really like it like I do Linux Mint. I looked at Arch Linux and Manjaro online, and I guess I can accept the challenge of the customization. Tl;DR: thinking about changing distros from Linux Mint, possibly to arch or manjaro. Should I bother changing distros at all? [link] [comments]  |
| Get into Linux from a live long of Windows, feasible? Posted: 01 May 2019 03:21 AM PDT This question has probably been asked before. But most i could find were old and did not really answer my questions. I have been a lifetime Windows user. I consider myself an advanced user, and a gamer. I am also a C# developer. So i have in-depth knowledge about almost everything in a windows machine. Where to find things, how to change things. How stuff is stored, what is and isn't possible etc. Besides that i am also a gamer, and a programmer. And all my tools, games, stuff i am used to. Is almost always only supported on windows. Not to mention older games that i tend to pull out of the closet from time to time. I know Linux has grown with leaps and bounds. I know Valve has put effort into Linux as an OS for their steambox. I know that cross platform compatibility is on the rise. I know Linux support is on the rise as well. Stuff is looking good for Linux as is. And Windows 10 to me just feels like the plague. (I am the product, etc. Getting ads inside your Explorer windows is NOT OK.) So here i am. A stubborn Windows 7 user. Not willing to upgrade to Windows 10, despite the new direct X stuff, better Virtual Reality support, all other Windows 10 exclusive things i have seen pop up around me, and Windows 7 due to be dropped from official support by Microsoft, and likely other software manufacturers. Stuck between a rock and a hard place in Windows only land. Even if Linux could replace all my existing tools/games/compatibility issues i currently foresee. I still feel like it is an alien platform on which i know nothing. I would go from a computer on which i know i am in near full control. To a computer which with the correct distro, "feels" like a windows PC. But it sure as hell isn't when you go anywhere past the file system. This together with my experiences as "Office Libre is a great Microsoft Office replacement" (it mangled documents, cross-compatibility was the worst back then, sending a file from a windows pc to Linux, editing it, and sending it back, would nearly ever go over well with the original sender of said file) All of this does not make me confident i can make the jump to Linux, even if i try. And even if i can make the jump and get to know it just as well as windows, it feels like the bad compatibility with all of the windows things (which everyone assumes everyone uses) would just let me down from a productivity standpoint. "Oh well, i have to edit and send back this work document. Better reboot the pc into windows."Shut down everything, interrupt your music playlist, possibly completely lose states of whatever work you were doing on Linux etc. It would feel just as bad as needing to reboot on a Windows PC while in the middle of any work i assume. Did anyone come from a similar experience, how did you handle it? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 May 2019 11:59 AM PDT I'm making this post because I wanted to know about Window Managers substituting Desktop Environments. I talking about i3, bspwm, herbstluftwm, qtile, etc; the kind of things you see at r/unixporn. I've used i3 before (actually, I'm currently using it) and love the idea of Tiling Window Managers. However, I hear about other Window Managers such as the ones mentioned above, not knowing what makes them special. Because DE are used more, it's easy to discover what they are each good at. Gnome for ease-of-use Plasma for customization LXQT for a low resource consumption DE etc... What would be the equivalent with WM? Why are they so many, and how are they different from one another? Where does each of them excel? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 May 2019 05:21 AM PDT I've recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and I want to play Path of Exile (PoE) on it. I've installed Wine 4.0, Lutris and Vulkan/DXVK 1.1.70. When I launched PoE from Lutris it told me that I had to install DXVK (I've done that already) and I selected "Launch game anyway and don't show this message again.". This started the launcher which runs fine, but doesn't do anything on launch. I think there is something wrong with my DXVK installation, because when I run vulkaninfo the output is this: VULKAN INFO Vulkan Instance Version: 1.1.70 ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_radeon.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_intel.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 /build/vulkan-UL09PJ/vulkan-1.1.70+dfsg1/demos/vulkaninfo.c:2700: failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 May 2019 01:24 AM PDT I'm using Linux Mint 19 on a SSD and want to have a Windows 7 VM through VirtualBox. I still have a second SSD with Windows 7 installed for dual booting but since I've installed Linux Mint I've basically NEVER booted into Windows again. Maybe I can use that SSD to install a Windows 7 VM and I won't need to have a slow startup with GRUB. So the question is if there a way to use VirtualBox to create a VM whose space is allocated on another SSD? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| resize / partition and help with distro selection Posted: 01 May 2019 08:17 AM PDT hello guys, i will try to keep it as short as possible with the queries I have. Q1 -- i am currently using linux mint (LM) on a Dell laptop. system info is @ https://imgur.com/a/9EN0KuG Would like to switch to either Mx linux or manjaro because of the rolling or semi rolling updates.. I am more inclined towards MX based on reviews etc. So based on the above system info, is MX linux a good choice ? I mainly use for web browsing, downloading stuff from internet, watching movies etc.. Q2 - when I started using LM, i was not sure on how much space to allocate the / or root partitiion and had assigned around 100Gb but now i am running out of space on /home and need to use the space that is available in root partition. Disk info etc @ https://imgur.com/a/mmkZSrS and https://pastebin.com/J8FsgBK6 Resizing / and /home through Gparted in live USB seems like the option but resizing has its own risks from what i read or atleast understood. So, my question is can I reduce the / partition , create a new partition like /media , / movies etc and then install MX linux or Manjaro based on your advise.... so basically, I wont touch existing /home partition and keep it as it is and use the newly created partition. any help, advise would be really appreciated.
