| Just switched from win10 to linux. No malwarebytes? No eset? Posted: 23 Jul 2019 01:55 AM PDT Hi Why doesn't malwarebytes exist for linux mint? And for eset there is only nod32 antivirus. Is there some other good alternative for malwarebytes? [link] [comments]  |
| Teaching my buddy linux, want some ideas to help Posted: 23 Jul 2019 02:03 PM PDT Buddy of mines working at geek squad that I went to highschool with, I'm currently in a linux systems engineer role so it's something I'm very familiar with. Nonetheless trying to go back in time and figure out a way to teach him pulls some blanks. Spent about an hour with him explaining most of the default base directories, such as var standing for variable storing mostly files that change such as logs. Or etc for system configuration files. Followed by commands to move around the system cd, ls with different options. Viewing/editing/manipulating files, rm/mv/cp/cat/vi/vim/nano. At least with this knowledge in my mind he could sit in front of a linux box and be able to navigate at least using his cheat sheet. Was thinking for a next time, some more in depth commands as well as some important sub directories so you would know where to look if your default gateway wasn't setup correctly. Any good ideas for some next steps would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Jul 2019 12:03 PM PDT Hey everyone So I have a server not doing shit at work and we are in need of a backup server. I have a lot of autonomy here to experiment stuff (without screwing up hard, of course) and since I was discussing with one of my coworkers yesterday about making this server a backup server and we'd need to get a license for running Windows, I decided to try Linux on it. Now, it's also experimental for me and I'd love to get the opportunity to get my hands on it. But I don't know much. I can figure out shit as I go. I'll also test things for some time before saying everyone our backup server is full-go and ready. Anyway, it's a full windows environment right now and I just need this machine to receive our files from the network and then sync it to Google Drive. I was thinking about CentOS. But what about the shares and backup routine and everything else? Does Samba do what I want it to do? Give me your thoughts on it and how you'd set it all up. Thank you very much.

| Good place for Untuntu tech support? Posted: 23 Jul 2019 02:19 PM PDT It seems to me I read that r/Ubuntu is not a good place to go for specific problems. So, where is? I have to say I'm about fed up with the Stack Exchange moderators and their "This is a duplicate question," when it really isn't. As a follow-on question, if I can't get advice on Ubuntu, what is a distro that I can get beginner/intermediate answers that is NOT Stack Exchange? [link] [comments]  |
| Virtual machine installation not working Posted: 23 Jul 2019 02:17 PM PDT Been trying out Linux a bit recently and am doing so on a virtual machine for convenience, I tried Ubuntu first, really didn't like the UI so i moved to a decently popular distro called manjaro. Problem is, whenever I complete installation and reboot it sends me right back to installation without the registered user or anything, is this a common problem with virtual machines or am i doing something wrong?

| Some Noob Questions About LibreOffice Posted: 23 Jul 2019 01:34 PM PDT Since I'm going back to college soon, I've been thinking about using Debian 10 as my operating system on my laptop. Since I'll be doing a lot of school work with this machine, I'm wondering how well documents or presentations made in LibreOffice Writer and LibreOffice Impress would work when opened in their Microsoft Office equivalents. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a recent version of the Microsoft Office suite, so I can't test this myself. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Jul 2019 01:32 PM PDT This isn't a critical issue, just something very annoying. I'm on Zorin OS 15. When I save files to the desktop, the icons all seem to save on top of each other (and on top of the icons for mounted drives). I end up with a ton of icons in my upper left corner, all layered on top of each other. Is there a setting I can adjust to change this? [link] [comments]  |
| Unable to boot after a fresh install (Ubuntu 19.04) Posted: 23 Jul 2019 09:24 AM PDT Hey guys, I recently got more and more tired of Windows and its crazy update policy and figured out I could use Ubuntu instead, since I'm already using it in a VM for programming. I got an official ISO, booted on a USB stick, installed it, everything went fine. However, for some reason I'm unable to boot. It keeps getting stuck around the same steps. Here's how it looks like. It got stuck for 10-15 minutes so I tried rebooting it. This time it got past the previous step, but got stuck again for 10 minutes before I ran out of patience. I tried using another hard drive and got the same issue. I thought the problem was coming from my GPU, but as it got past the relevant step on the second boot, I'm quite confused... I'm running on an i5-4460 with a MSI GTX970 GPU, if that helps. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I tried booting again and again to see if it could get past the steps one at a time. At first it seemed to work, but then it reversed to previous ones in a quite random way... At this point, it seems so random that I don't even know what to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Ubuntu black screen blinking cursor on boot after installing Windows for dual boot Posted: 23 Jul 2019 09:24 AM PDT I had Ubuntu installed on my SSD with two ext4 partitions /dev/sda5 was the boot partition with boot, esp flags /dev/sda6 for everything else I needed Windows for something so I attempted to install it and created a new ntfs partition using ubuntu from a usb and that worked, but the installation of windows failed due to some error code. I figured I would resolve it later, but when booting into Ubuntu I got a black screen with blinking cursor. I had read installing Windows after Ubuntu may require you to run boot-repair so I started Ubuntu from a usb. I open gparted and notice that /dev/sda5 does not have a filesystem associated with it. There is a red exclamation point next to the partition name which says Warning: Unable to detect file system! Possible reasons are - The file system is damaged ...3 other reasons... boot-repair doesn't work Here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hXV9bSNHTD/ /dev/sda1 is a 1gb boot partition I tried to create afterwards /dev/sdb1 is my usb from which I run ubuntu and boot-repair so that can be ignored since that is working fine /dev/sda5 Mounting failed: mount: /mnt/BootInfo/sda5: unknown filesystem type ''. I am not sure how I screwed up the boot partition so bad by attempting to install windows. All the data in my other partition for my home directory is fine and I can access it by mount, but I can't mount my boot partition since it doesn't know the filesystem meaning I can't chroot into it. What are the next steps I should take to recover this? Can I recover the data in the boot partition at all? [link] [comments]  |

| How to restore backed up materials from my Ubuntu system to a Zorin system? Posted: 23 Jul 2019 08:36 AM PDT Hello, I have been using Ubuntu for a few months now, but now I'm considering to shift to Zorin. If I do, how to get all the current packages and apps that are already installed in my Ubuntu System on my new Zorin? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 23 Jul 2019 08:09 AM PDT Hi! I'm a total Linux noob who moved to Pop!_OS a few weeks ago. So far, I absolutely adore it. Aside from a few tiny issues caused by me, It's been near flawless. Using this video I was able to fix it. However, despite not having TLP, my changes are reset and the problem returns every time I reboot. Any advice? I looked around for a solution to stop it being rewritten, but everything I found was a bit too complex for my dumb ass. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Jul 2019 08:07 AM PDT I had to get a new hard drive for my old gaming desktop running windows 7. The old one was full and I was having issues with it. I took all the files I wanted off of it and threw them onto a portable hard drive. I just bought a new HDD to replace the old one and want to try Linux Mint. I'm brand new to Linux. I don't really game anymore, so this hard drive will just be for watching movies and web browsing mostly. There's lots of tutorials for installing Linux in a system already running windows, but I can't find one pertaining to my specific situation. Is it as simple as dragging and dropping an ISO onto a USB, swap the HDD, then install? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Jul 2019 11:46 AM PDT Hi, I've been using Ubuntu for almost a year now, and I'm loving it. Two days ago i noticed that Software & Updates was closing when i would try to launch it. I had a look online and tried in terminal ~$ software-properties-gtk when I run this I get ERROR:dbus.proxies:introspect error on :1.115 followed by more lines I've looked online and I can't find a way to resolve this problem I'm having. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| How can I run terminal commands remotely via my phone or laptop? Posted: 23 Jul 2019 05:40 AM PDT I run a server on my PC and occasionally the server inexplicably shuts down when I'm not home. How can I access my PC when I'm not home and start the server again via the terminal? For reference, I am using Manjaro i3 and the servers I'm running are for Plex and Minecraft (Plex usually works fine, but the Minecraft one is new and has been giving me issues.) [link] [comments]  |

| Stuck on black screen after switching to Intel GPU Posted: 23 Jul 2019 04:15 AM PDT Silly me, I wanted to try the Intel GPU on my Ubuntu 16.04, I rebooted the laptop and got a black screen. I switched with the nvidia-settings GUI (sudo) but now I don't know how to switch back in console recovery mode. Should I remove intel-microcode? Remove nvidia-driver and try to reinstall it? (I had troubles getting a network connexion in recovery mode). If anyone can help it would be nice, I can probably solve it by myself after 6 hours (and maybe by reinstalling everything), I already spent one, but I hope to avoid spending so much time on this crappy bug. I had a nice tensorflow/pytorch/cuda configuration if I can avoid to completely destroy it, it would also be nice. Some errors are displayed about nvidia-persistenced, which I tried to enable with "systemctl enable" but it seems that it's already enabled. [link] [comments]  |

| That moment when you realize you can grep a man page... Posted: 22 Jul 2019 03:09 PM PDT In retrospect this seems pretty obvious. However, for other linux noobs this might prove helpful... The The grep command allows one to filter the standard output of a command using search terms, regex patterns, various flags and so on e.g. So the gist of this whole DUH moment is that you can use the grep command to search through man pages in a single command. For example, Okay... All done. I decided to provide a little more information in case someone reads this and doesn't understand the context. Also, mods, apologies if this post is off key.

| Looking for the name of a terminal program that I used in a previous job Posted: 22 Jul 2019 11:11 PM PDT Sorry for the silly title, but that is it In my previous work there was a server where when I typed `ctrl+x u` in the terminal it opened a menu with a list of hosts, and returns the host that I selected. It was quite convenient, for example, if I type `ssh ` then `<crtl+x u>` I could select the server instead need to remember the hostname. Recently I'm doing `git checkout <some branch>` quite frequently. So I remember that command. Does somebody know the name of this program, and if I can adapt it to use `git branch`? Conclusion:I found it! It name is peco (https://github.com/peco/peco) The script that I would like to use is [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Jul 2019 09:00 PM PDT What can I do in this situation? Update 1: I did this in the terminal, now it doesn't show me "list --upgradable" anymore. Is this normal? Update 2: Now again I have "list -upgradable" showing up. So, basically not solved. [link] [comments]  |
