    Some good games for Linux?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 10:36 AM PST

    I am talking about games like supertuxkart that does not consume so much resources. I want to play them in a laptop with Intel HD Graphics. Do you know any simple cool games like supertux ones or gnome ones?

    I accidentally screwed my Ubuntu laptop

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 10:57 AM PST

    Soo today I was updating my laptop...when I rebooted I no loger had a desktop environment...I was in tty1. When I tried installing gnome, it said "use apt --fix-broken install", but that is just going to delete all of the packages I have installed (over 1GB). Fortunately I had installed xfce, so I ran "startx", but I can't seem to be able to move the mouse, and the keyboard does not work. What should I do? I can use xfce, that's fine, but how do I un-screw my laptop? I can't reset my pc as I don't have a backup HDD. I can still use tty1 by the way, but I don't know what to do.

    EDIT: Ubuntu 18.04LTS 64 bit

    EDIT 2: I can use my laptop inside xfce using VNC, fortunately.

    EDIT 3: After no useful help, anyone that will see this thread please read the following text. I fixed my laptop by firstly doing sudo apt install -f, which removed almost all of the packages (this did NOT break my system); next I added the oibaf PPA for the graphics drivers, then removed a faulty file which made the installation fail, which was /etc/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json; I then installed xorg and ubuntu-desktop. It now works just fine just like before. I hope anyone that sees this thread finds this useful!

    Why don't linux distros update packages automatically?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 12:04 PM PST

    I'm currently running Pop!_OS 19.10 after switching from ElementaryOS and just got this question that I can't seem to find an answer to: Why don't linux distros update packages automatically?

    I know people are mad at Windows for doing that (mostly because they require restart and sometimes Windows will suddenly restart on you during work) but since most distros (as far as I've tried so far) don't necessarily need restarts, why isn't it the default?

    Install DEB files

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 06:08 AM PST

    Hi, I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and wanted to download stacer. Firstly, would you suggest I download an appimage or a deb? I will have to install dependencies if I go with the deb, but I guess the appimage comes bundled with everything. And next, as I'm new to this, if I double click on the deb file, it will take me to the store to install it. If I click install, will it pull in all dependencies automatically? Or do I have to manually install dependencies first? Thanks!!

    Need help installing Java with Wine

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 01:38 PM PST

    I'm having an issue when attempting to install Java with Wine on Manjaro. If I try and just run the EXE from the file explorer, nothing will show up on my display, but I know that *something* happened because I can see the setup in htop and when I attempt to run it again, I get an error telling me to complete the open installation of Java. To see if there were some errors, I decided to run it in terminal, and this is what it spat out:

    https://pastebin.com/rsjwjcmw

    Anyone know how to fix this? I need Java in Wine because I need a specific library to work that doesn't appear to be on Linux (I'm trying to install the BeamNG-MP mod; the latest version won't work for me). Thanks!

    Postfix "make upgrade" from source code

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 05:41 AM PST

    Hi,

    I am fairly new to Linux and I am currently learning on CentOS 7. I have been trying to manually upgrade our current postfix installation from 5.4.7 to 5.4.8 using the source code available from the official download web page.

    I have been following the instructions available, but unfortunately without success and I am probably missing something important.

    Each time I upgrade I receive an error stating that TLS and SALS has not been compiled: warning: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable is true, but SASL support is not compiled in warning: TLS has been selected, but TLS support is not compiled in

    I have been using make upgrade CCARGS="-fPIC -DUSE_TLS -DUSE_SSL -DUSE_SASL_AUTH" to enforce the compile, but without success.

    libdb-devel and db4-devel have been installed.

    Looking at the previous version of Postfix (3.4.7) which is working without issue, and how that was installed by looking at the makedefs.out, and have tried replicating the installation, but still without success.

    "-DNO_EAI -DDEF_SMTPUTF8_ENABLE=\"no\" -DHAS_DEV_URANDOM -UUSE_DYNAMIC_LIBS -DDEF_SHLIB_DIR=\"no\" -UUSE_DYNAMIC_MAPS $(WARN)"

    There is mention of dynamic libraries, which I don't fully understand, but from what I have read, this refers to the sharing of libraries.

    I have checked the shlib_directory and this seems to be default and picked up within the Makedefs: /usr/lib

    I have seen threads with people with similar issues out there and but no reported fix for the issue, other than people querying the install method.

    Maybe I am misinterpreting the error message and the issues lie elsewhere.

    Nginx + DDClient + Cloudflare

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 10:26 AM PST

    Hello All. Figured someone may be able to help as this is driving me up a wall.

    A bit about my setup:

    1. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server
    2. Static ip and DNS set within Network Manager
    3. Running several apps (Jellyfin, Calibre-Web, Sonarr etc)
    4. Nginx fully installed
    5. GoDaddy domain proxied through Cloudflare
    6. DDClient synchronizing ip from server to Cloudflare
    7. Port 80, 443 and 8096 (Jellyfin for testing) allowed in server Firewall and from router to static ip

    I've installed DDClient and setup the connection between my server and Cloudflare to propagate the proper ip address on the domains I currently have setup (example.com and jellyfin.example.com). This connection seems to be working as when I visit the updated IP address listed on Cloudflare from the browser on the server, it opens the default Nginx landing page. If I use that ip with a port (ex: http://CloudflareIP:8096 for Jellyfin) in a browser on the server, it also opens Jellyfin, but very slowly. These links of course also work with simply localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the url on the server.

    However, when attempting to visit the Cloudflare ip on another device, it doesn't open the default index page nor any of the apps on ports. Also worth mentioning is that visiting http://staticip or http://staticip:port only works when calling the url from a device other than the server. When trying to visit the static ip from the server, it's unable to connect. And of course, visiting the domain and subdomain listed in Cloudflare (example.com and jellyfin.example.com) don't pick up the Nginx index page at all, but instead show a Cloudflare page with host error; again confirming that the DDClient/Cloudflare connection is working.

    What I'd like to know is how do I make the domains listed on Cloudflare serve externally or in other words, work as they're supposed to. Additionally, how do I ensure that the speed of the pages served is faster than tested. As mentioned, when visiting http://CloudflareIP:8096 from the server, the page loads but is a bit slow. I assume this is due to bandwidth (which I can deal with), but want to make sure there's nothing I've done to slow this down or anything that I can do to help the speed.

    Lastly, the domains hosted with Cloudflare will be the main domain and subdomains (ex: example.com, jellyfin.example.com, calibre.example.com and so on). I don't know if this has any effect on possible configuration or misconfiguration recommendations, but wanted to include as much information as possible.

    Any and all recommendations or possible scenarios are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    (Centos6) Installed new kernel from source (linux-4.20.17.tar.gz ) But now I cant install software that needs kernel-headers.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 10:11 AM PST

    I installed kernel 4.20.17 from source on Centos6 using an online tutorial. It boots fine, but now I can install software that needs Kernel-headers, such as VirtualBox which fails to setup drivers at boot time.

     

    Tried: yum install "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)" but it fails to find my kernel versions.

     

    I assume the tutorial was very generic and something else needs doing?

    Automatic shut down issue

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 05:37 AM PST

    I'm running Manjaro on my Alienware M15 laptop and i have a problem with running it on a battery power.
    When I unplug it, it works good until I put any strain on a cpu, for example running steam or just logging in to a desktop environment.
    (I think it is caused by cpu strain but it actually could be hdd read/write as well)
    I thought that tlp was bugged and I've uninstalled it, but on the next boot up it initiated "a stop job is running" again, now on the ac power.
    So yeah, I reinstalled tlp once again and it works on ac again but how can I fix it once for all, ac and battery mode.
    Btw, I'm running kde plasma spin.

    Lower youtube quality in Linux than in Windows, is this to be expected or can it be fixed?

    Posted: 02 Feb 2020 09:56 PM PST

    I normally watch videos in 720p on both OSs but I've noticed Linux's 720p looks considerably worse. It also seems that this isn't just a problem with youtube but with any and everything I see while in Linux. I might be wrong about this part but when it comes to youtube I'm sure of it.

    I'm running Pop!_OS 19.10 Intel/AMD version. As far as I understand, this version should come with drivers already installed. I'm using an RX580 8GB.

    How do I know if my drivers are fully updated and, if not, how do I install the newest ones?

    Could this problem be from something else other than GPU drivers?

    Edit: I'm using the latest version of Firefox, hardware acceleration turned on. By "bad quality" I mean it's mushy, blurry and washed out. Overall doesn't look 720p when at 720p. Images here (click to zoom or else it's hard to see how bad they are). I'd say it does affect videos outside of my browser too, such as downloaded videos through VLC. It's not nearly as bad but still feels less defined than it should.

    Do I need to unscrew and unplug my M.2 NVMe (windows 10) drive, if I'm installing Manjaro through a USB for another drive (SSD).

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 08:19 AM PST

    I used Rufus to make a USB drive for Manjaro. I'm going to install Manjaro onto my 120GB SSD Drive. I already have a 1TB M.2 NVMe drive for Windows 10.

    Do I need to unscrew my M.2 drive before I attempt to install from the USB? Or will it not matter?

    0 packets received from ping test

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 01:53 AM PST

    Hello,

    I'm running Raspbian Lite and trying to do PiLFS, however, when I need to use wget, I hang on connecting. I thought it was some sort of configuration error but the SSID and password was correct. My network adapter was up. I could perform updates and installs but could not use wget. I've configured the wifi settings through both raspi_config and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. I've disabled the power management settings for the wifi adapter. I've reinstalled Raspbian several times now and have even installed Raspbian with the graphical interface to check if my browser would connect to the internet- which it did. Browsing works fine but the terminal receives no packets and wget does not work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    What makes me even more confused and lead me to believe I'm misunderstanding something is I also receive no packets on my main laptop. Am I missing something here?

    Thank you.

    Need help

    Posted: 02 Feb 2020 07:34 PM PST

    So im a big idiot when it comes to this kind of stuff but I'm using Ubuntu and basically I need to boot with a different kernel because when it updated it messed a bunch of things up. So basically what I understand so far is that I have to go to the grub menu and go to advanced options and boot with an earlier version. Which seems pretty easy but my grub menu is nothing like the ones I've seen and only allows me to type commands. Idk if that even makes sense at all but if someone could help me that would be great.

    [Fstab] Documentation for the nobrowse option

    Posted: 02 Feb 2020 11:37 PM PST

    So, I've been using the fstab hack for running ntfs on mac for a long time now. I.e. if you wanna write to an ntfs drive named "Drive", then you add to you fstab:

    LABEL=Drive none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse

    And wanted to understand how it works, which is easy given the archwiki entry.

    But, i can't find documentation on the nowbrowse option (Apple took down the online page that had it, and it's built-in manpage doesn't even mention ntfs).

    So,

    TLDR; what does the nobrowse option do in fstab ?

    Error in sudo apt update

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 01:23 AM PST

    A few days ago, I tried to install LAMP packages but something wrong occurred so now i want to install it again from the beginning. But when i tried to reset everything i noticed that when i type sudo apt update, it prompts an error like this

    Hit:1 http://packages.deepin.com/deepin lion InRelease Ign:2 https://packages.sury.org/php stable InRelease Err:4 https://packages.sury.org/php stable Release 404 Not Found Hit:5 https://deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease Hit:6 https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'https://packages.sury.org/php stable Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. 

    I'm gonna be honest here, i don't know what 'packages.sury.org/php' do nor when did i installed it. I'm pretty sure its something related to php. There is no php left in my computer, when i type php -v it only return error which is what i expect. I want to start all over again and that means installing apache, mysql, php from scratch.

    I googled this error and found its because something call ca-certificates. I removed it and this error is still present and now i don't know what to do.

    I just migrated from windows where i used xampp for my php environment. There i just install things and it works. Can someone tell me what causes this error or have any idea how to reset LAMP completely?

    Help with a bash script

    Posted: 02 Feb 2020 06:59 PM PST

    I wrote what I thought was a simple bash script to build some strings for me. Here is a MWE:

    ```bash old_ifs=$IFS IFS=','

    org=$(cat $1 | head -n 1)

    url="git@github:${org}/${2}" echo "URL : $url"

    IFS=$old_ifs ```

    The script is supposed to read the first line of an input file, store that in the variable $org, then build a string concatenating a literal value with the values in $org and $2 (in this case, lab-3) with a forward slash between them to build a URL. When I run it, I get the output shown below.

    bash $ ./parse-url.sh cs161-99999 lab-3 /lab-3git@github:cs161-foo-99999

    The forward slash and the value of $2 is being printed at the beginning of the line of output, overwriting part of the constructed string. If I run it using a literal instead of getting the value of $org from the file I get the output I expect as shown below.

    The modified code:

    ```bash old_ifs=$IFS IFS=','

    org=$(cat $1 | head -n 1)

    url="git@github:${org}${2}" echo "URL : $url"

    IFS=$old_ifs ```

    Its output:

    bash $ ./parse-url.sh cs161-99999 lab-3 URL : git@github:cs161-foo-99999/lab-3

    I suspect the problem lies in how I'm getting the first line of the input file but I can't find the problem. I've tried using read -r org<${1} and get the same result. I've also tried all combinations of escaping characters that I could think of to no avail.

    Any help would be appreciated!!
