    Tip: Looking to bzip files using multiple cores and with a progress bar?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 06:43 AM PST

    Ive been searching far and wide for a way to create bz2 disk archives using all the cores of my laptop, and with a progress bar. I amalgamated the information and instead of being selfish with it, ill post it here so other people might gain some benefit from it: 

    pv IMAGE.img | pbzip2 -kz >IMAGE.bz2

    You'll need pv and pbzip2.

    Instead of having to open a new terminal, and send a signal to the process to get a reading, you'll get a nice text progress bar:

    https://i.imgur.com/WSaSjxO.png

    The fields are as follows:

    Data Send to pbzip2, Elapsed time, Pipe Speed, ===> , Progress Percentage, Completion ETA.

    How to setup non-root Xorg

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 01:07 PM PST

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjdhsgHfoBQ&t=1s

    I guess the use flag thing doesn't have to be done on distros other than Gentoo, but this is helpful for when X is running as root.

    How to run a command as if I was in a different directory?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 10:49 AM PST

    Example:
    I'm currently in /home/user/ and I want to do git pull in /home/user/qimgv-git/ without changing directory.
    Is there an easy way to do this to "save time"? :) Probably some simple thing which I just can't remember now..

    Adjusting mouse wheel scroll speed in Raspbian

    It's just a bit too slow for me. I tried looking in the keyboard/mouse preferences with no luck...

    Good book(s) to get started?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 11:01 AM PST

    Hey there,

    I want to get into Linux (Debian and Arch/Manjaro and alter Kali) to use it as my non gaming os and to create my own webserver.

    Are there any good digital linux books available which start at the basics?

    Wine won't install

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:04 AM PST

    I'm running Linux Mint 19.2 Xfce edition.

    I've found a few guides on installing Wine, but I'm getting errors.

    $ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

    Reading package lists... Done

    Building dependency tree

    Reading state information... Done

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

    or been moved out of Incoming.

    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:

    winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 4.0.3~eoan)

    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    I looked up how to clear the held broken packages and got this:

    I've run "sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ eoan main' " and it says "Repository already exists." But it seems like I can't go any further than that. Winehq.org has separate commands for different versions up to Ubuntu 19.10 and I'm running Linux Mint 19.2. Is the problem simply that wine doesn't have a version for 19.2 yet?

    Can I format an SD card FAT32 on Ubuntu?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:56 PM PST

    Trying to set up a way to record dashcam footage, and the memory card needs to be formatted in a Windows format. Just making sure it's possible (and not overly complicated!) before moving forward. Thansk.

    CentOS 8 - Black screen after login

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:51 PM PST

    After I've entered my password from the login screen I just get a black screen with no cursor. This happens to all the accounts on this computer. I don't have the root password so don't know if it happens with that account. I've tried ctrl+alt+f2 to f7 but nothing happens.

    I'm able to SSH to the desktop and start the GUI by running "systemctl isolate graphical.target". I set graphical.target to be the default by running "systemctl set-default graphical.target" but after rebooting it goes back to black screen after logging in.

    Running Centos 8.0-0.1905.0.9.

    Practise commandline on ipad

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:41 PM PST

    So I have to travel by train a lot (5 to 6 hours return rides) which leaves me with some time I would like to spend on learning Linux administration. I was thinking I could use my ipad to log in to a remote (CentOS cloudhosted) server to practise commandline stuff. Laptop isnt really an option since I'm already carrying one with limited rights. Any ideas what would be possible without to much hassle?

    [QUESTION] Edit images/videos on linux? Trying to switch from W7

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 06:41 AM PST

    Hi, im thinking of switching from windows 7 to linux, but because of my work im not sure if it is the best option. I dont like w10, and i already have a 120gb disk with linux on my pc, but i was told that i could not work the same way in linux as i do in w7. I work as a real estate photographer, so that means Lightroom and Photoshop, and sometimes Premiere (so mostly Adobe for work). And on my free time i love to game LOL, Project CARS, Cities Skylines (that i know works on linux) for example.

    My question is, what would your suggestion be if i wanted to still be able to do this and avoid the security's problems that will con if i stay on windows 7? I appreciate the help.

    Can I have an application launcher open a text file in a terminal, with nano, by default?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 08:51 AM PST

    I prefer doing any work I can in a terminal and until recently that included file browsing. Now I want to improve my work flow by including a launcher like rofi that can more quickly find files and open them. Only problem is that I still want to do text editing in the terminal (nano is my preference), and I don't know how to tell a program to "launch a terminal and have it run nano <file>".

    Is this even possible?

    Help understanding network configuration ie. auto-negotiation, full, duplex etc.

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 06:55 AM PST

    I've had a few technical issues with my ethernet connections that were solved by either checking auto-negotiation in KDE network manager and the other issue required unchecking auto-negotiation and selecting "Half" and specifying 1,000Mbit/s.

    What are the differences among auto-negotiation, Full, and Duplex and what are the specific use cases for each one? I think if I understand these I can troubleshoot better in the future. Thanks

    What's the Linux equivalent of "dir /w" and "dir /p" in DOS?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 06:49 AM PST

    I know ls is a similar command, but I can't find a command line option to paginate output or arrange it like "dir /w" does. It's really annoying.

    Huge memory and CPU consumption sometimes on KDE Plasma Manjaro

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 10:24 AM PST

    From time to time I get freezes with 100% busy CPU and memory with just a few apps open – Brave, Figma, Telegram and others

    looking into processes running doesn't show the full picture, because the highest CPU and memory consumption is coming from Brave, but only 5-15%, other processes only take 1-5%

    how to figure out the whole process list to see which processes freeze my laptop?

    also could NVIDIA drivers be the issue? I have 440

    Error: Install baspkgs 255 while installing manjaro architect

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 04:30 AM PST

    Greetings, I'm trying to install manjaro on a ThinkPad t440s and get the error stated in the title. This is my first time installing anything Linux related besides Ubuntu.

    Here is what I did so far: Partitioned the ssd I want to use, chose the ext4 Filesystem, encrypted it with the tool that came with the installer. Ranked my install mirror by speed. Chose the awesome window manager. Selected minimal install.

    Please let me know if you need any more information. Thank you!

    Edit: Here is what I already tried/didn't seem to work for me. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/error-install-basepkgs-255/45508/9

    The output tells me something about skipping packages - findutils gawk gettext grep gzip pacman sed sudo textinfo which

    And error - target not found gtk3-classic

    I removed gtk3-classic from the list of packages to be installed. Installation seems to work, now I need to figure out if I need that package.

    Having trouble installing Wine on Mint19+

    Posted: 16 Dec 2019 10:37 PM PST

    I'm having problems installing wine on my machine. I'm running mint 19.2.

    I try to follow this install guide from WineHQ website, running the following commands:

    #enable 32bit sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 #download repository key wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key #add repository and update sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main' sudo apt update #install winehq sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

    I get this error:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies: winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 4.0.3~bionic) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

    so I try to install wine-stable and I get the following error:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine-stable : Depends: wine-stable-amd64 (= 4.0.3~bionic) but it is not going to be installed Depends: wine-stable-i386 (= 4.0.3~bionic) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

    so I try and install wine-stable-i386 and I get the following error:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine-stable-i386:i386 : Depends: libpulse0:i386 (>= 0.99.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libasound2-plugins:i386 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    And I don't know where to go from here.

    Advice?

    -jailshell: brew: command not found -jailshell: eval $(/bin/brew shellenv): No such file or directory -jailshell: brew: command not found

    Does the top and bottom errors relate to the middle error; if so I don't know what is required for shellenv ?

    Unable to permanently repair .profile

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 05:48 AM PST

    I'm running this; PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/X11/bin at my bash prompt which is recovering commands such as ls which were not working before; although when I save the .profile file in nano, then restart bash, I'm back to square one, in other words this error, when using any native bash commands such as ls;

    The command could not be located because '/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. ls: command not found

    I can reset the .profile file but it won't stick, it keeps reverting ?
