| Posted: 11 Dec 2019 12:49 AM PST What's the difference between Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu Server (or another distro) if both can do the same things ? Are they different or seperated like Windows 7-10 is from let's say Windows Server 2019 datacenter etc [link] [comments]  |
| I have a Live USB with Debian, can I transfer all the data to a bigger one somehow? Posted: 11 Dec 2019 11:15 AM PST So I created this Live USB to try the distro in order to make up my mind about substituting Windows for it, but I now think I might need more time of thought, therefore needing more capacity, is it possible to take all the data and copy it on another pen-drive to have a bigger Live USB?

| Can Linux read and write NTFS hdds? Posted: 11 Dec 2019 12:52 PM PST I'm thinking of trying out a dualboot setup between Win7 and CentOS before fully migrating over. One thing Im worried about is my current data on NTFS drives. Will I still have access to them? or is it recommended to transfer the data over to EXT drives? If so, is there a tool that helps you do this easily, like Samsung has a fool proof cloning tool they offer with their SSDs. [link] [comments]  |

| How Do I Change The Bash Prompt Name In Lubuntu? Posted: 11 Dec 2019 02:40 PM PST Hello I would like to change the Bash Prompt Name in the terminal that I am using which is called Qterminal. I have read a lot of conflicting information on several websites and they usually have me take two common approaches in order to change my name. I would like the easiest solution. Currently my bash prompt looks like this [link] [comments]  |
| Novice question - Backing up a server Posted: 11 Dec 2019 07:49 AM PST What's the best way to backup my Linux box? Not just documents files. I'm thinking more of a server type box with config files in the /etc folder that execute on boot. Some basic data backup stuff and other server type things. I was thinking of manually backing up the configs, but that's probably not a solid plan either. I'm also looking to put on things like nextcloud and be able to restore all those configs and dependencies so I can be up and running in short order. No specific reason, it is an internet exposed box, so the chance I get some haxor trying to break in is pretty high, so I'd like to be prepared with a scalable solution. The box is offsite, so ideally a restore plan would work from an minimal server install. Ubuntu is my flavor of choice. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2019 07:21 AM PST I first installed Lubuntu 18.04. Installation worked fine, but it doesn't have a task bar, which is really disappointing. I also don't know how to connect it to the internet. It used the internet when installing the distro but I can't find a way for it to search for available WiFi. I then got a Lubuntu 19.10 LiveUSB running as I know it has a task bar and generally looks a lot better. The LiveUSB doesn't offer an option to install, only to boot into it. I believe then one can install it from a desktop icon. Problem is the monitor resolution is way off, I can only see the right hand side of the screen. I also can't run the terminal or any other program because I get the following error: failed to exexute child process "lxsession-default" (no such file or directory) I tried booting off the LiveUSB into safe mode and it failed to boot and did nothing. I also checked the integrity of the LiveUSB and it said it was fine. I'm feeling pretty stuck as to what to do. I'm leaving the country in less than 24 hours and trying to get a friends old computer working again which had a corrupted harddrive. They basically just wants to play World of Warcraft. The internet connection is slow but I can try downloading a different distro to use. I did want to use Lubuntu 19.10 since I've put that on a different computer that was also broken and usable and they like that OS. If anyway can give some advice as to what to do it'd be appreciated. Lubuntu 19.10 doesn't seem to like this computer so I might try and see if I can put a task bar on Lubuntu 18.04 and install World of Warcraft onto it. [link] [comments]  |
| Good backup tool for synchronizing (personal) data Posted: 11 Dec 2019 12:08 PM PST Any good and easy to setup tools for doing backups of the personal data on an encrypted home folder to an USB stick? I tried timeshift from Linux mint, but I still couldn't figure out why, although I excluded almost everything from the disc, it still tried to backup everything. I tried Bacula, but the instalation always fails and messes up my system. [link] [comments]  |
| Booting Debian freezes on “[OK] Started GNOME Display Manager” Posted: 11 Dec 2019 05:38 AM PST Hello all. This is a crosspost from my question on unix.stackexchange.com but I am really desperate for help. Yesterday, I downloaded debian-10.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso from the official site, then burned it into a physical DVD before installing it on my laptop. Everything ran smoothly since the installation is guided. I only have wifi so the installation was performed without an Ethernet cable connected to my device. When the installation was done, the DVD was automatically ejected and I restarted the system. And that's when I encountered the problem. The booting process freezes on [OK] Started GNOME Display Manager. That is when I googled the problem and I have found these posts which somewhat describe comparable problems.
Now, to the best of my ability and after reading the suggested answers on these posts, I tried to uninstall GNOME then selected lightdm as the default desktop environment. For that, I opened tty with [Ctrl+Alt+F2] and entered these commands after logging in as root:
Nonetheless, the problem doesn't go away. The system is rebooting and it is still stuck. Nothing but a black screen appears and only the cursor blinks on the top left of the screen. Any help would be much appreaciated! Thanks in advance. Edit: For additional details, here are the settings of my BIOS and the model of my laptop PC:

| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 03:05 PM PST So I am considering making the switch to Linux finally after using Windows for a while. This is mainly driven by being tired of Windows violating privacy concerns and forcing telemetry on everyone. I got the Windows 10 Education Edition, but it appears you can't turn off telemetry with that version either unless you have the Enterprise Edition. Anyways, I am looking to use Mint Cinnamon. I found a guide to make a dual boot SSD here: https://itsfoss.com/guide-install-linux-mint-16-dual-boot-windows/ The only concern I have with the guide is a couple things. One is it is not clear to me how much space I should partition for Mint. I have a 1 TB SSD. I already have Windows 10 on it. Could I have use 500 GB for Mint and 500 GB for windows 10? Or does it not work that way exactly? I'm new to partitioning and dual Booting with two OS's on one SSD, so find this confusing and not sure what to look out for when deciding this. Not sure if a certain amount should be left blank on the SSD or not either. Also, the guide just sort of says give 100GB here or there, but that assumes that you have a smaller HDD/SSD I think. The second question I have is related to if I decide to get rid of Windows 10 completely and remove it from the SSD and just have Mint on it (after doing the dual boot). If I decided to do that, how would I make sure windows was completely eliminated from the SSD and also that Mint would have access to all the SSD memory (aka, remove windows and remove the partition so that Linux has access to the entire SSD)? Again, new to this whole partition thing. Overall, I'm tired of Windows and ready to make the switch. Thank you for any help with this. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 11 Dec 2019 10:26 AM PST First timer so please be nice lol I got given one of these and decided Ubuntu was the way forward with it. Installed a version onto it and all seemed well until I realised the touch pad was not functioning at all. I have run xinput in the terminal and I can't see the OS picking up on it. Can anyone please assist? I'm using a wired mouse which I don't want to use all the time. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Can only access Samba shares if set to 777 Posted: 11 Dec 2019 10:25 AM PST I've been setting up a NAS with Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS. It's mostly working but I'm having an odd issue with Samba. I have all my shares set to read only = no and guest ok = yes. Testparm says everything is clear. But, I can't write to the shares from Windows unless each folder permission is set to 777 (and I have to set every subfolder to 777 as it's made). If I set a share to 755, it's readable but not writeable from my Windows PC (which is normal, I believe). But if I set it to 766, it becomes unreadable from Windows, even though 766 should allow read and write, correct? Only setting it to 777 allows read and writes, but I've read that's not a good security practice? [link] [comments]  |
| Diving Deeper into Linux - Where to Next? Posted: 10 Dec 2019 09:36 PM PST So I am relatively new to Linux and have recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.3 on my laptop. I chose ubuntu for my first dip into linux because as far as I could gather at that stage was that it is the most user friendly for a noob coming from Windows. I have definelty enjoyed my time with Ubuntu and can say I will not be going back to Windows. However, I have been reading up a bit on other Linux distros. It seems like Ubuntu is seen as the "Windows of Linux" in so far as it is bit bloated and basically set up to be noob friendly. (This is what I gathered from reading up and watching some youtube vids, not my opinion). So basically I would like to dive deeper into the Linux ecosystem and try something new and a bit more challenging. Which Linux Distro and desktop environment would you recommend? I have heard good things about Arch Linux but I'm worried that I might be out of my depth going for a distro like Arch as I am not what you would call skilled in using terminal and commands. My hope is that going the Arch route will force me to learn and improve, where with Ubuntu it feels like it acts like a crutch and I then I'll never learn to properly use Linux. I'm also very keen to be able to set up your system just the way you like it with a distro like Arch. Thanks in advance for the help. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 11 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST Hi, I have a full partition on a VM Debian 3.1, I deleted at least 2gb of files in /var/log but the partition is always full. The system won't boot, exept in recovery mode. Please help, I'm new to this. Edit : lsof returns nothing Edit2 : It's ok now, the solution is here https://askubuntu.com/a/498812 + https://www.xenetis.org/a_32_force_umount_message_device_is_busy_linux_debian.html Adding space to the logical volume,resize, then reboot. Mind you the filesystem is ext3 but it worked. "Most of the disk is in an LVM partition already, which lvm calls a physical volume. LVM then divides up the space from physical volumes into logical volumes. You can use the pvsor pvdisplaycommands to show stats on the physical volumes and lvsor lvdisplayto see information on all of the logical volumes. You should see that there is plenty of free space in the physical volume. You then can use lvresizeto expand a logical volume to use more of the space, as in: That will add 10 gb to the logical volume named slash in the volume group vg00, which is apparently your root volume. After that, you need to expand the filesystem to use that space, which assuming you are using the default ext4 filesystem with: " + "umount -l /dev/sdb1 man umount...-l Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore. (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.)" Thank you guys for your help. [link] [comments]  |

| Windows 7 dual-boot on MSi laptop Posted: 10 Dec 2019 07:40 PM PST So Microsoft is no longer supporting Win 7 at the beginning of next year. I am definitely not switching over to Windows 10. I need advice on which distro to use for an absolute newbie which would be similar to the Windows 7 environment. I am currently using Ultimate x64. I still however plan to leave 7 on for work applications but never use it online. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
