| Posted: 27 Dec 2019 09:51 AM PST Hello everyone I have a very quick question. I have an SSD and a hard drive. If I want to install Linux on my ssd and pretty much wipe it, will I get to use the things on my hard drive? For example I have steam games on my hard drive, will I still be able to play those or will I have to reinstall everything? Also if it is possible please explain how. Thank you.

| At my wits end trying to get a Win 10/Ubuntu dual boot working Posted: 27 Dec 2019 10:53 AM PST I've installed Ubuntu on my Windows 10 laptop seemingly without issue (shrunk the windows partition and installed onto the newly free space, on the same SSD), there were no problems during the install process but once it was complete and I was prompted to restart it just booted straight into Windows. I've spent the last several hours troubleshooting, messing around with disabling fastboot, and secureboot, and hibernation. In my BIOS, Ubuntu is first in the boot order but this apparently does nothing. I've tried to use the boot repair tool to fix it, but I can't even get that to run by following this guide. I'm not sure how the first option is supposed to work, I've created a live USB with the boot repair ISO but when I try and boot into it I just get a blank screen. I tried the second option, but the terminal gives me an error, saying that boot-repair depends on boot-sav. I'm at the point now where I'm considering just installing Ubuntu over Windows 10 instead of dual booting. It's a new laptop so I don't have any files I care about, but there is a good chance I'll want Windows on there at some point in the future. Can I back up the OS onto an 8/16 GB USB and reinstall it at some point? Appreciate any advice about getting the dual boot working, or if I'm able to reinstall Windows at a later stage without buying a new licence. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Failing to boot from Debian installed on USB (not live) after trying both BIOS and UEFI Posted: 27 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Hello! I've been working on making a portable Linux install for myself on a 256GB USB drive. Basically, the idea is to treat my USB as my hard drive and keep all data (programs, data, user files, etc.) on there so I can plug it into my laptop or desktop and boot onto it. Note: I'm planning to install another distro on the same drive at a later point, so I've only used some of the disk space. My most immediate issue is that:
Here are the partitioning schemes I've used so far: UEFI/GPT
MBR:
(When I get to the GRUB installation step, I just tell it to target sdb, and let it do its thing, and it never errors.) Is there something I'm doing blatantly wrong that would cause me to have issues with this? I'm happy to answer any questions that come up. Thank you!

| Posted: 27 Dec 2019 07:35 AM PST Hello, I currently have a nice powerful server that I am using for virtualisation. It has 2x 960gb NVMe drives in raid 0 currently. (Don't lecture me) I am adding two more and found out the hard way that you cannot just add two more drives and expand the raid. So I will have to move the VMs off the server, reinstall centos and then move them back. If I was using LVM would this be easier. Isn't lvm just raid? I have never used it. I am pretty knowledgable but LVM and Disks in general have me stumped. From my understanding, lvm is basically just raid 0? Or do you raid 0 all the disks and then partition it with LVM? Really confused as to what to do since I am reinstalling the OS anyways and in the future I want the ability to hopefully upgrade the storage again without having to copy all the data off.

| A weird sound issue on my linux installations Posted: 27 Dec 2019 09:35 AM PST I am trying to launch minecraft on my machine. It launches fine but there is no sound. The logs show that the sound engine has started. The weird part is when I launch the game from a live usb of xubuntu, sound works. I installed xubuntu thinking my earlier manjaro installation has some kind of problem. I cannot understand why xubuntu is not able to play the sound.

| Helllpp please Manjaro is being a little shit Posted: 27 Dec 2019 12:14 PM PST Hey guys!

| How to "UN"dual-boot my machine Posted: 27 Dec 2019 05:15 AM PST So Santa (me) brought me (myself) a super sweet-ass custom gaming rig for Christmas. It will replace a very satisfactory Dell machine my family have used - in a dual-boot configuration - for years now. So after moving all of the files and all that to my new machine, I wanted to remove Linux from it, since I am the only one that uses it. I followed the instructions from some web site, which were:
So I did these, and when I rebooted, got the grub stop and cursor prompt. The instructions did not work for me. So after that, I tried bootrec.exe /FixBoot - access is denied. Only after I mashed F12 on POST was I able to select Windows Boot Manager to get into Windows. Yeah it worked - this way, this time. But what about when my lovely but technologically-uninterested wife needs to reboot the computer, and gets the grub stop again? This experience really makes me balk at dual-booting my new system, if I am being honest. Why is it SO easy to remove the 'evil' Windows from a dual boot configuration, but removing our beloved, wholesome Linux is so frickin' frustrating? I mean frustrating like trying to cancel cable! What is the EFFECTIVE way to remove Linux from a dual-boot machine that does NOT feel like trying to remove a malignant tumor? Flame away, if you must. I am just very frustrated, with five other people looking to me to get their computer right, else they invade my new one!!! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| All my drives have lost their partitions after a reboot Posted: 27 Dec 2019 10:48 AM PST I'm having a major issue at the moment - Running Ubuntu server on my homelab, with 10+ hard drives and 2 ssds attached. I realised I hadn't properly set up mergerfs in fstab so I restarted to check everything was working. Now none of my drive partitions are showing up - the ssds were ext4 and HDDs were all NTFS Checked the data connections are working with another drive. Plugging one of the ssds into another computer shows the drive (e.g. sdc) but no partitions GParted gives an error 'can't have a partition outside the disk' Any help is really appreciated, I can't afford to lose the data on all the drives at once [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Install Centos on a lvm with multiple drives? Posted: 27 Dec 2019 10:00 AM PST Following up from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/egcjoo/is_lvm_like_raid/ How do I actually go about installing say.. centos7 as a lvm on multiple drives? I literally have no idea what I am doing. I have the option to use a iso but I would rather use Hetzner's installer thingy. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Any C/C++ devs here? If so, what dev work do you do and what IDE do you use? Posted: 26 Dec 2019 04:44 PM PST I love Linux, but damn do I love Visual Studio. Sure, one might get away with VSC for code editing and compiling via GCC/G++, but I definitely miss VS. Can one get VS on Linux? Anyone using QEMU for running Windows just to use Visual Studio?

| How to use appimagetool ? for packing a Unity game build. Posted: 27 Dec 2019 03:39 AM PST Hi, I would like to port my Unity game (ready with a file .86_64 and a data directory associated) to Linux, in the form of only one file. I would like to use appimage format. BUT as often, Im unable to correctly understand how to do a thing on Linux. I found that an appimage could be made with imagetool found on GitHub, but then i don't know what to do. Even if i read docs nothing happen in my head. Its like reading Chinese. I use Linux Mint. Someone for help ? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I really try but it seems it wont get better... Posted: 27 Dec 2019 12:35 AM PST I like the idea of open source and Linux but it seems i have bad luck with the switching. I build my pc for the first time by myself and that was a big step for me. The other big step was that i wanted to use Linux and Windows as dual boot. But here the problems already began, Windows was installation was easy as ever, but the linux distro(Fedora) I choose just dosnt worked at all. The next two distros I tried had similar problems the only distro that really worked was Manjaro. Okay Manjaro seems like a good distro, nice desktop, rolling releases sounds good as well, but now I have the problem that after one or two hours the system completely freeze and just a hard shutdown works. I tried to look in some logfiles but to be honest I have no idea what to looking for. So I changed the Kernel to a more stable version and just got an blackscreen. So back to the old Kernel and the freezes... This is really not what I expected when I tried to get into the linux world :/ What I want to know is: Will this ever get better or am I doomed to live in loop of fixing something and break something else by that? Im really not a fan of Windows an i still want to use Linux but I never had this kind of problems on Windows. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dualboot on two harddrives, or any idea? Posted: 27 Dec 2019 06:24 AM PST Hey guys, I just bought a ThinkPad p1 an plan to install Linux (my first Linux pc ever) and Windows next to each other. there is a 200GB ssd already inside but i wanted to switch it to 2x 1TB m.2 SSDs. Does it make more sense to install Windows on one Harddrive and take the second ssd for storage, and install Linux as a Partition (I heard of "never Partition a ssd", is that true?)? Or should I take one ssd for Windows and one ssd for Linux? If that is the case, how do i accomplish that? I heard of grub, but does it work with two different hard drives? TL;DR:

| Ethernet connected however I cannot connect to the internet. Posted: 27 Dec 2019 03:10 AM PST Hello everyone, earlier I was trying to get a VPN working (specifically windscribe) and I ended up causing more problems than what I started with. My PC recognizes that Ethernet is connected and pinging 8.8.8.8 seems to work fine however when I try to ping any website I keep getting "temporary failure in name resolution." I believe the problem stems from something to do with /etc/resolv.conf. I tried to edit resolv.conf with nano and tried adding nameserver 8.8.8.8 to it however I get an error saying "no such file or directory". I am kinda at a loss at what to do next. Also my os is arch. Any help is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
