    Linux How do I disable touchpad while typing from the Terminal?


    How do I disable touchpad while typing from the Terminal?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 06:26 AM PDT

    This question is asked like a million times on the internet but I must be too dumb to make sense of it all. First of all, why on the green earth is this option not in the default built-in settings is just beyond me. Second, the internet seems to suggest the golden solution to be that syndeamon command or alternatively using touchpad indicator. Heres my issues with both them.

    Writing syndeamon in terminal returns command not found and trying to install it returns no such package found.

    I installed the holy touchpad-indicator and the second I ran it, it brought forth its wrath. My tap to click was dead. My pointer went into a hyper-drive with no respect for precision and the system mouse and touchpad setting were all puny beings that could not even function in presence of this monster. I then tried to get rid of it by apt remove --purge autoremove. It deleted some stuff but also returned with an error like "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)." I am back to normal, apparently, after restarting and running the above command still returns the same error. It really is a nightmare. And Im jobless and peniless. Life cruel Is.

    I am no linux expert but wanna do this simple tiny task of avoiding the monkey pointer while I draw my life pixel on screen. Even if syndeamon somehow works, my next thought is what if I wanna change it back or tweak the delay and stuff.

    Please someone unriddle this mystery for me. Thanks a metric ton!

    What's the best method for transferring all your data from your current SSD to a new, bigger SSD?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 11:50 AM PDT

    I just upgraded from my my old X230 to a T450, and I had a 64GB SSD in my X230 because I had repurposed the old boot drive from my desktop when I upgraded to a bigger SSD in it. So I figure that I might as well upgrade the SSD in my laptop as well now because 64GB is really starting to push the limits.

    But what's the best way to transfer my current Manjaro install so everything will be the same on the new drive? Is it safe to use cloning software when you're moving your data from a smaller to a bigger drive? Or is that kind of software mainly intended for backups?

    Digital Combat Simulator Crashing on Startup "Error Creating Process"

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 10:47 AM PDT

    I installed DCS last night manually using wine and then linked it up to lutris this morning. I then went to test it and it crashes on startup prompting an Error Message saying "Error Creating Process." I then checked the logs and the only thing that shows up is this:

    Running /usr/bin/wine /home/kalrach/Games/lutris/dcs/drive_c/Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Run.exe

    Error creating process bin/DCS.exe

    I then ran it in the terminal and the output was this:

    How do I learn about drivers?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 09:31 AM PDT

    I'm trying to install a driver on a openwrt ARM setup and failing.

    Is there some resource that can walk me through the basics of compiling (ideally cross compile), install and troubleshooting? Kernel headers etc. The whole google error messages without understanding it isn't getting me anywhere.

    Openning ranger in a specific directory with termite

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 01:07 PM PDT

    Hello.

    I'm using termite as my terminal emulator. I switched to it from console, so I started changing some of the scripts I had to work with it. However, I'm having trouble porting a script I have which uses ranger and feh to change my wallpaper.

    `/home/ayhon/bin/setwp`

    ```

    #!/bin/bash

    DIR="/home/ayhon/.config"

    termite -d /home/ayhon/.config/wallpapers/ -e 'ranger --choosefile=$DIR/wallpaper-from-setwp'

    feh --bg-fill $(cat $DIR/wallpaper-from-setwp)

    ```

    The problem comes with ranger opening up in /home/ayhon/bin instead of the wallpapers directory I save my wallpapers to. I read the `man termite`, and I think I found the problem.

    > OPTIONS

    > -h, --help

    > Display help message.

    >

    > -v, --version

    > Display version information.

    >

    > -e, --exec=COMMAND

    > Tell termite start COMMAND instead of the

    > shell.

    As said, the `-e` option tells termite to start a command instead of the shell, so it ignores any other options given, including `-d`.

    I searched in the man page, but I saw nothing I could do to fix it. Does anyone know an elegant work around? I would prefer not to have to use another terminal emulator just for this script.

    Thanks for everything in advance.

    No matter what I do I can't dual boot ubuntu

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 04:16 AM PDT

    I have successfully dual booted years ago and I wanted to do it again but now it when I try to install ubuntu it says "grub can't install and it's a fatal error". I have been trying every online solution for the past week. No matter which solution I try grub just cant install on efi partition. When I fix every error I always end up with "Unknown error -1". I deleted the old efi partition and created a new one with bigger size but that doesn't work. When I boot into Ubuntu (which is not properly installed) through default boot menu and install boot repair it doesnt work. Can anyone tell me why Grub refuses to install on Efi partition?

    Can't get right refresh rate / audio&video problems??

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 12:43 PM PDT

    Hello there!

    So I recently finished my build and wanted to install Linux on it, tried a couple distros (debian/ubuntu/mint/pop/manjaro/fedora..) and I get the same problem on all of them..

    So, my PC has a Vega 56 in it, hooked to a 4k TV via hdmi (for both video and audio), when running X, I can't get over 30hz (I know for sure the setup is capable of 4k @ 60hz), I have tried searching around for a solution, tried different things, messed around with xrandr and cvt, I just can't get it to go past 30hz.. Except.. if I switch to Wayland.. then 60hz is working.

    Except... if it's running at 60hz on Wayland, the video and audio playback is sped up (sounds like chipmunks, and video is going faster), I've also tried twitch to see what would happen, the video plays faster, buffers, plays faster and so on.. then again, I've tried searching for a solution, tried a couple settings with Alsa, pulseaudio .. nothing worked. If I set Wayland to 30hz then the audio and video is fine.

    So.. I'm kind of lost there, I don't know what else to try, hope you guys can help me!

    (Just to note; on Windows it's running at 60hz and no video/audio problem!)

    (Second note; on linux it doesn't seem to detect the right model TV, read some things about EDID but I don't know anything about that so that didn't help me)

    Unlocking Lenovo W540 Sometimes Not All 3 External Monitors Come Back on - Ubuntu 18.04

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 12:05 PM PDT

    Hello L4N,

    I've got an install of Ubuntu 18.04 on a Lenovo W540 that will sometimes not restore video to at least one of three external monitor (not consistent on which one). The usual solution to restoring all three is to undock and redock the laptop.

    Attempting to turn them back on with xrandr has not been successful so far, though I admit to not being familiar with all of its capabilities. I had to write a script to rearrange my monitors to be the correct orientation when I was on 17.10 because the system would seemingly randomize their orientation on startup.

    I'm on gnome for my desktop manager.

    If I could get pointed in the right direction of what to do to either stop this from happening or how to bandaid fix it even, that'd be swell

    Another "How to start programming with linux"

    Posted: 31 Aug 2019 04:47 PM PDT

    Hey, so I have little experience with C++ and I started relearning, programming or more like messing around with code on Win10. Anyway lots of people say linux is better for programming and etc. and I tought "wow i totally should install linux right now!". So I just installed ubuntu and thats it... I don't know where to start.

    I know terminal is better than GUI, but since I'm let's say practicing and maybe I'll do some small projects, was it wort it to install linux and maybe I should stick with GUI IDE? Also maybe I'm wrong but ruby is important with programming on linux?

    Getting an error when trying to upgrade my system using yay -Syu in Manjaro.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 11:33 AM PDT

    Whenever I try to upgrade, I get this error:

    Best way to back up other drive on live Linux?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 06:43 AM PDT

    I want to completely backup a Windows hard drive using Linux from USB.

    So the first approach that came to mind for me, is to copy everything (as possible) from the old hard drive to the external backup drive.

    Is this an appropriate way, or is there something better to backup an entire drive under live Linux?

    Dealing with PC becoming almost or completely unresponsive on high ram usage - is there a way to keep some minimal system reserved ram?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 10:00 AM PDT

    Hi! I'm not sure how it works in Linux, but I wonder if there's away to set some sort of minimal RAM reserved by the OS to ensure that even if RAM usage is maxed out and swap can't keep up - at least kernel and DE still have enough RAM to be at least responsive enough to kill the process that uses too much RAM? Without OOM killer, manually.

    Thanks :) Mostly just curious

    Bought a 2Tb external HDD for back up and it won't work with Linux

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 02:33 AM PDT

    Its a Seagate STDR2000302 and Windows picks it up no problem, but Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't even see it. Guessing it's a firmware / driver issue, but does anyone know if I can make use of the drive or should I just sell it to a Windows user?

    And, while I'm here, does anyone know of a 2tb ext HDD that Ubuntu can speak to?

    Moving Linux to larger SSD. Use dd? This is how I pictured doing it.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 08:31 AM PDT

    I have a dual boot system that is sort of backwards.

    Windows 10 is on a 120GB SSD, and Linux Mint is on a 1TB SSD.

    I want Windows on the 1TB, so I can have all my games installed.

    I don't care about keeping Windows intact.

    Linux Mint is using less than 100GB of space on the 1TB SSD (I think it's 80GB, I'm not currently on that system though).

    I'm planning on reformatting the Windows disk, then booting a live Linux USB.

    Then can I just use dd if=/dev/<1TBSSD> of=/dev/<120GBSSD> ?

    I would then unplug the the 1TB SSD, and make sure I can boot with the 120GB drive.

    If I can, then I would install Windows on the 1TB, with the 120GB unplugged.

    Then I would boot back into Linux on the 120GB, and rebuild GRUB.

    Is this an appropriate way to move Linux to the SSD Windows is currently installed on, or is there a different process I should use?
