| Why are files being written as root when I am logged in as user? Posted: 09 Feb 2020 09:36 AM PST I just created a new linux VM and I am logged in as someUser. When I run "whoami" I get "someUser", however if I run "nano test.txt" and try to save it says Permission Denied. I can "sudo nano test.txt" but then the owner is root and I want it to be user without having to chown to user. Why isn't it writing files as user to begin with when I am logged in as user? How can I change this so I don't have to write with sudo and then chown to user? [link] [comments]  |
| Thinking of dual booting for gaming... is it worth it? Posted: 09 Feb 2020 09:19 AM PST Hi. I am your typical Linux noob. I've heard how slow Windows can be. As I am an impatient gamer, this is annoying. I also am looking into coding, which I hear Linux is better for. I don't have the money to go and buy a faster or second computer, so my only option is to dual boot. I don't have the space to download everything twice, so I also need to know how to share files between my Linux boot and my Windows boot. I would like to know if it is worth it to Dual Boot Linux Mint with Windows 10, and how to make it so my Linux build can access my Windows build games and vice versa without redownloading them [link] [comments]  |

And If there is a way to terminate program with GUI than I prefer the GUI one otherwise I can work with commands. [link] [comments]  |

| I cannot use my second hard drive! Posted: 09 Feb 2020 11:52 AM PST Just trying to do the switch to Ubuntu but I have 2 SSDs in my laptop and somehow I can just use one (the smaller one) I'm not able to access the other one as I did in Windows. Given the ssd I used to install Ubuntu is too small, I do need to use the second one to install everything and use as my main storage. I tried formatting it with gparted (and I did) but I can't still see it. Any ideas? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 09 Feb 2020 12:19 PM PST I periodically add files to a folder on my raspberry pi using Filezilla. I find that I have to change the permissions on each file after I add it in order for certain applications to access it. I do this by copying and pasting permissions from another file in the same folder. How can I set the folder to give the same permissions to every file that is added? Thank You! [link] [comments]  |

| Laptop can't enter deep sleep s2idle only. Posted: 09 Feb 2020 07:10 AM PST I noticed a huge battery drain when I leave my laptop overnight with the lid closed (~20%). Upon digging I noticed that my laptop was not entering deep sleep and I think the ram is still being powered. I am using pop os as my distro and the default bootloader systemd. the output of the following: Showed that it was only going in s2idle and not deep. also showed that s2idel was selected! I tried editing the: as root and ucommented : without any success. Any help would be appreciated! EDIT 1: I was finally able to get it to somewhat work by passing in a kernel parameter in here: and I added under the options line: and it seems to work so far! My other question is how do I check if my computer is hibernating after a certain amount of time (i.e. offloading the ram to disk so no need to power the ram) [link] [comments]  |

| Why should my linux password be strong? Posted: 09 Feb 2020 10:34 AM PST I am not using a public computer but a laptop with linux. I never go on public wifi, only via USB tethering on my mobile plan, and even if I want a mobile hotspot via WiFi I do so only with "approved devices" by entering my laptops MAC address. So why should my linux machine password be strong enough to withstand bruteforce attacks? I never allow inbound SSH traffic or expose my machine in any way to inbound web traffic. Sure I can get screwed over by a malicious download, but I don't see how a 16 digit password might help in that scenario. It's not "passw0rd" by any means. I use a passphrase that is 15 characters long, but I am considering 3 word passphrase that is maybe 10 characters in length to make it easier for sudo commands. What are the dangers?

| Problem moving /home partition to a partition on an external drive Posted: 09 Feb 2020 05:50 AM PST I am running into an issue moving my /home folder from my SSD to an external HDD. I have a dual boot of linux and windows on the SSD and I am running out of space, so I want to move the /home partition to the external drive. I am following this guide: https://www.maketecheasier.com/move-home-folder-ubuntu/ I have followed the first few steps:
I run into an issue at this point, I am not able to relocate my /home directory into /home_backup. It tells me that the device or resource is busy. So I looked it up and came to this similar question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/245925/mv-cannot-move-home-to-old-home-device-or-resource-busy Now, reading the first answer and it says that if your /home is it's own partition (which is the case for me) you should ignore that step and comment out the current home paritition in fstab, or the new one will never be mounted. Is this correct? the next answer says to log out and go on a virtual terminal, run as sudo -i and check lsof -n | grep '/home' to make sure that nothing is open. In my case it lists bash and sudo. Maybe I'm being too careful, but I need the computer working for university and can't be slowed down by bricking my laptop. Can someone clear up what the right process is? I don't see how I can just mount my new partition at /home, and comment out the currnet partition in fstab while I am actively in the current partition. Especially if what I tried above tells me that sudo and bash are running out of the current /home/username. Don't know if that makes sense, but hopefully someone can clear this up for me.

| Can I use a phone charger as a power supply for my Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+? Posted: 09 Feb 2020 09:33 AM PST I am not allowed to ask this in the Raspberry Pi subreddit, so I am asking it here. This will be my very first Pi. I have two phone chargers. I believe that their voltage is sufficient but I am not sure about the electric current. One of them is 5V-1.2A and the other is 5V-1.8A. If they are sufficient, would it create any problem to charge Pi this way? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Feb 2020 09:29 AM PST Hi all, I tried looking around, but maybe my GoogleFu (DuckDuckGoFu) search paremeters weren't up to snuff.

| Posted: 09 Feb 2020 05:02 AM PST I am going to switch to Debian from Windows soon but I have limited experience and knowledge with Linux. I chose Debian because security and privacy is my hobby/passion. To clarify, I will be mostly watching YouTube videos but also play games such as CS:GO. Could someone please answer these questions for me? I would very much appreciate it! What is SELinux? (ELI5) Should I and can I enable SELinux in Debian? If yes, why is it not enabled by default? I thought Debian was security focused? Will SELinux affect performance? I'm hoping to still be able to game on Linux, will I be able to? (After enabling SELinux) My basic PC specs are: NVIDIA RTX 2060 Intel i5-9400F 16 GB RAM Thanks soo much in advance! If anyone can even give the slightest of help/insight I will be very grateful!

| I'm trying to get rid of flickering in Gnome on Arch Posted: 09 Feb 2020 03:48 AM PST So, I've been using Arch for a while now and I'm happy with it. But ever since my old monitor died and I switched to a 5:4@75 Hz one, desktop environments won't stop flickering and now I think I messed something up. The flickering gets stronger when I open programs or move my mouse, but still happens when I just leave it be. I don't know how to describe it other than "screen-tearing". It doesn't happen when I'm just in the console, but when I run Gnome and Shift+Alt+F2 out, the console flickers too. As soon as I killall the gnome-shell, the flickering stops. To start my gnome session from the console I usually run this: "dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --display-server --wayland". I tried running the X version of Gnome with xinit, but no luck there either. I thought switching to a different DE might get rid of the flickering. I un- and reinstalled stuff. I can't start Weston anymore. It says "fatal: failed to create compositor backend" every time I run it. All other DEs now say "[...] cannot open display 0.0" or something along those lines. I double checked the hardware and Windows has absolutely no problems with my setup. I'm really confused cuz it used to work with my old monitor. Does Arch just hate 5:4 or 75 Hz? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a way to install a linux system without a pen drive/dvd? Posted: 09 Feb 2020 07:31 AM PST So, I`m a true noob in this tech world but Im trying to ressucitate my old PC (Windows 10 originally) and want a Linux distro to make it run. I got the Endless OS 2 days ago but I did not like it at all. The reason I "choose" Endless OS is because it allows you to install without an external device like a pendrive or DVD, since it only requires you to run their instalator. Is there any other distro that provides such thing? Im really unable to get a pendrive right now (not only financial reasons). Thx in advance! (Sorry any typos) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2020 07:17 PM PST Been about a week since i moved to linux (pop_os) and i love it. However, something that annoys me to no end is when I'm installing something or running multiple chrome tabs, basically anything that pushes my hard disk, my computer just hangs. The cursor stops being responsive and i cant do anything. That said, it's only for a few seconds and I'm generally able to get back at what i was doing pretty quick. However, it is still annoying and I'd like to fix it if possible. My hardware is as follows: 1. Intel core i3 skylake mobile processor 2. 4 Gb ram 3. 1TB HDD I know a quick hardware fix is to upgrade to an SSD and/or another stick of ram, however i wanted to confirm if I could avoid the issue I'm having via software first. All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
