| Ubuntu gamepack black screen on boot Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:05 AM PDT Recently I swapped from windows to Ubuntu gamepack, (I believe it's based on Ubuntu 16.04) but after updating graphics drivers and rebooting, I was dumped into a black screen, and nothing works. I've tried Ctrl + alt + f1, shift during boot, and nothing works. I'm really trying to avoid reinstalling but that seems like my only option. System specs are: Intel Xeon X5670 - cpu Gigabyte GA-X58-UD3R - Mobo Nvidia GTX 1080 - gpu 24gb ram, it's a bit of a mitch-match but worked well before Booting from dual Hitachi 320gb hard drives in raid zero (bios configured) Thanks for any help in advance!

| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 08:42 AM PDT Using Mint 19.2. No other OS. Built in wifi/BT is working without any issues however my USB Wireless AC Adapter was working fine for the last 4 days. This Morning it is connected and getting an ip address but for some reason cannot access any sites. Using DHCP or Static does not make a difference. I have tried;
Not sure what else to do. Any help is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Another composite manager is already running when trying to execute Compton Posted: 09 Aug 2019 01:53 PM PDT I'm currently on Ubuntu 19.04 with i3wm as a DE. I tried installing Tyrone's fork of compton and to see if it was working i tried running compton in the terminal. I get the message > get_cfg(): Blur method 'kawase' is incompatible with the XRender backend. Fall back to default. Another composite manager is already running which is very confusing as other programs have failed to detect a compositor previously, and I have removed mutter. [link] [comments]  |

| Looking for comparable programs for Linux to help me game with my health woes Posted: 08 Aug 2019 09:14 PM PDT I'm on disability due to chronic pain and this means that most of the time, I have to play games from my bed. I have my PC on a desk with a standard monitor, and a TV near it connected to the PC via HDMI. When I'm able, I prefer sitting at the PC, so I don't want to do a permanent solution that makes the TV the default. I've recently made the switch to Linux, and I love it. I really need a way to do what the below programs do though, to make gaming from bed without having to keep getting up to use the keyboard possible. Here is what I used to do on Windows. I use my monitor and TV in extend mode. The default monitor profile has the monitor as the primary display.
These macros are done via executing keyboard hotkeys via controller companion. I also have inverse macros for the controller to set the primary display and audio output to be set to the monitor again. For when I want to switch it back. This all worked great using the programs listed below. But I want to move away from Windows for good, I don't need to explain it to you guys. Programs used:
Hardware/misc:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| need help using shh to connect to Ubuntu server from Ubuntu desktop. both a VM. Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:53 AM PDT First I set up a static IP on Ubuntu Server using netplan and applied it... https://drive.google.com/file/d/18OFm1ITsqpR2udcrycp7SmQBnffHwkw_/view?usp=drivesdk Im running Ubuntu server and Ubuntu desktop on Virtualbox for testing/experimenting purposes to learn linux. Since they're on VM they seemed to be sharing the same IP? which was 10.0.2.15, so I set the static IP for the server as 10.0.2.16 . Ive already installed ssh on both systems. When I try to ssh in 10.0.2.16 I get a "no route to host" message. Ive already made sure the port 22 isnt being blocked on the Server. When I reload ufw is said that the fire wall was not enabled. not sure if this is a VM thing, or im doing something wrong. When I ping it I get this... https://drive.google.com/file/d/19XxJoza9BF95cmafWhmYPAq0k5sNbtA4/view?usp=drivesdk [link] [comments]  |

| Manjaro KDE, mouse using evdev. Switch to libinput? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:23 AM PDT Hi, i've been using Manjaro for the last couple of days and everything was great. today I start my computer and I notice that the sensitivity has gone way up (my mouse is a logitech g502 btw) so I go to the input settings and I find out that they changed overnight. Before I had the acceleration on Flat while now I don't even have the option to disable the acceleration. Anyway I used the command "grep 'input' /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and I noticed that the mouse is using the evdev drivers instead of the libinput ones. how do I switch the drivers in use? also notice that I already have libinput installed.

| Choosing a flavour vs. installing a DE afterwards Posted: 09 Aug 2019 05:26 AM PDT Hey Folks, I'm transitioning to Manjaro at the moment, and I just wondered: is there any difference between installing the Mate Edition of Manjaro vs. installing Mate afterwards? Do both of these possibilities provide me with the same Mate experience? If not, what is different? I think there could be some preconfigurations or packages bundled in the mate edition that are not part of the mate desktop you can get from the repo... [link] [comments]  |
| Properly installing Java on AntiX Linux Posted: 09 Aug 2019 12:42 PM PDT I wanted to install Java on AntiX Linux to play Minecraft on it, and I did, but there is no option to run a .jar file. I followed this guide: https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/debian/how-to-install-oracle-java-8-on-debian-9-ubuntu-linux-mint.html#Install_Oracle_Java . Am I missing something? Do I need to install something else? [link] [comments]  |

As I say, it has been working fine until a week or so ago. Thank you for your time and help (in anticipation). Sincerely Duncan [link] [comments]  |
| Wifi isn't working and I don't understand this fix Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:13 AM PDT I am using Debian 10 Buster on an XPS 13 (9380) For the first day or so the wifi worked fine but it has since stopped working. I have been using https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Dell/Dell_XPS_13_9380 to fix this but don't understand what it wants me to do. I'm not even sure if it would fix my problem. If someone could give me a step by step or a better explanation that would be greatly appreciated. Further notes on my situation:

| Two of the most popular distros (Ubuntu and Manjaro) have been controversial. Should I avoid these? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:11 AM PDT Issue with Ubuntu: removal of 32-bit support Issue with Manjaro: FreeOffice I'm currently running Kubuntu right now (I like KDE) I'm currently running Kubuntu 19.04, and tried Manjaro-18.1-rc7-kde just recently. Should I switch to another distro? If yes, any suggestions? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:32 AM PDT So in Nautilus there are the standard folders for music, videos, pictures and such. I have Ubuntu installed on my SSD and on my HDD I have folders with all my music, videos, pictures. Is there a way to redirect the folders in Nautilus to the HDD folders? I know that it's possible in windows [link] [comments]  |
| Rolling distribution vs non rolling Posted: 09 Aug 2019 02:20 AM PDT If you use a non rolling distribution how long does it take on average for new software updates to arrive vs a rolling release. I use Ubuntu for half a year now and want to switch but I don't know if I want a rolling distribution [link] [comments]  |

| Noob needs held dual booting linux mint Posted: 09 Aug 2019 04:58 AM PDT As the title suggests I have been trying to get linux mint (previously tried ubuntu) to dual boot on my laptop but to no avail. I keep getting no such device has been found errors. Secure boot is disabled and I installed linux of a live USB. The distro is installed on a 128gb SD card as the laptop dosent have space for other expandable storage (Asus T100HAN) I have attached the grub screen I get when i boot into linux. Windows functions as normal. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 12:51 AM PDT I'm running debian buster in a dual boot setup and since yesterday i've been getting the following errors on boot print_req_error: i/o error dev sda buffer i/o error dev sda6 sda6 is my swap partition, and after investigating i found out that it has a UUID in fstab, but it doesn't have one in blkid. The system spends about 2 minutes at boot trying to start that UUID on top of that, the swap appears unavailabe in the gnome system monitor what is the best way to fix this? remove the swap and recreate it from gparted? or is there another way to reassign the UUID of the swap? will a simple fsck fix this? update: eventually i just deleted and recreated swap partition from gparted, for some reason it got corrupted and the system was not able to use it or even mounted, it didn't have a UUID assigned to it. reconfiguring it solved the issue [link] [comments]  |
