    Hey all! I'm interested for using linux after using windows for 10 or so years but i got a few questions!

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 01:08 PM PDT

    (Update : Thanks everyone for the awesome suggestions! Without this subreddit, i would be in the endless sea of youtube videos that might be outdated or bad. I might come back to ask more questions but for now. I'm gonna get an SSD that is at least 1TB if i ever want to do a full switch. I might back up my most important files in google drive or something in that sense. For now, thanks again <3 I feel welcomed)

    I'm very noobish when it comes to computers and linux caught my eyes because of how more secure and how gaming has gotten better. ( Pop OS! is in my interest after watching a few videos)

    1. Is there a possible way to keep windows while using linux, so if i want to go back for anything. Is it possible or recommended to do? (I'm aware of dual booting but not sure if it's safe to do)

    2) Is is possible to keep all your files when installing pop os? (I don't have a way to do a backup of my files)

    3) Lastly, is there any more benefits of using linux other then security?

    What is KDE and is it good for beginners.

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 06:27 AM PDT

    I've seen videos that kde neon is highly customizable and that is what I want. But I am confused by the different names such as kde neon, kde plasma etc. What exactly are these things.

    clicked "Open With" on the wrong app cant fix it now

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:15 PM PDT

    So I went to "open with" on a file and accidentally told it to open it with java which I didn't mean to do and for some reason now anytime I open a folder from my Desktop or notifications it attempts to open it in java which results in an error.

    switching keyboard layouts language take forever [Ubuntu 20.04]

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:30 PM PDT

    I have an English keyboard layout on my laptop, but I need to write in Portuguese now and then. American keyboard doesn't have "ç" or "éá" and etc.

    Every time I need to switch between layouts it takes too long in Linux, but in windows, it is instantaneously, I thought it might have something wrong.

    Difference between Adobe Flash, Adobe Flashplayer and Shockwave Flash

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:56 AM PDT

    I had to install Flashplayer today for some videoconferencing, and I was surprised because I thought the support for Flashplayer had ended, with HTML5 being the replacement. Turns out only the support for Flash had ended and Flashplayer will be supported till end of 2020. And then when I installed it in Firefox, I found that it was called Shockwave Flash. Now I am confused, and since I could not find any specific details with a quick google search, I thought of asking here.

    Do let me know if this is not the best place to ask this question.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Is there a distro that would serve both if there needs the best?

    Remove Linux Partition

    Remove Linux Partition

    Hi guys, sorry for the noob question but I'm still new to Linux. I have Linux Mint in a 2TB hard drive, with 1TB partitioned for Linux and the other 1TB used as a standard Windows storage volume. My question is: how can I combine that 1TB Linux volume back into the volume readable in Windows so that my Linux volume is erased, and I am back to having one 2TB volume? Obviously right now my partition in Windows is only 1TB. Thanks

    Can't disable background on Latte Dock w/ KDE Plasma

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 04:50 PM PDT

    Cacti Monitoring: Configuration file include/config.php is present, but unreadable.

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 08:33 PM PDT

    Hi, as the title says, I'm stuck with this problem after following the instructions first from here (for the reqiusites) and then this website (for the nginx config).

    I'm using CentOS 8 with Nginx and the only thing I changed was the directory of the application (/usr/share/nginx/html/cacti in my case). I'm having a difficulty, maybe the permissions were off but it already is set to read/write for the user and group, also the ownership has already been set to nginx:nginx.

    The logs only shows status 200 so I know nginx can access it, but it just gets stuck at that point. Thanks

    Help: GPU drivers not working on Debian 10

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 08:21 PM PDT

    After installing Debian 10 alongside Win10 on a different drive, I booted (into Debian) to find a blinking cursor. Seems as though the driver for my GPU isn't working properly.

    After switching to integrated graphics, I ran lspci-k to find my installed drivers, and it seems as though the driver is installed?

    root@debian:~# lspci -k | grep -EA2 "VGA|3D|Display" 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 3e98 (rev 02) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 7b17 Kernel driver in use: i915 -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1e84 (rev a1) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device c726 Kernel modules: nouveau 

    Relevant system specs are as follows:

    • GeForce RTX 2070 Super (Supported by Nouveau
    • SSD with Debian10 Stable and GRUB2 (Working correctly as far as I can tell)

    It's also worth mentioning that earlier when I tried to check support for my GPU, I couldn't access the freedesktop homepage, on any device or network, so it's possible the site was down during the install

    Where do I go from here? If possible I'd like to avoid using NVIDIA's own drivers.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated; I'm totally unfamiliar with dedicated GPUs when it comes to Linux :)

    WiFi on Linux Mint 19.3

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 07:28 PM PDT

    Hi all!

    Recently, the wifi on LM 19.3 (fully updated) for me has been bugging out. It's been happening more and more often, but every 20 minutes or so the connection stops working although it shows I am still connected. Turning the wifi on and off seems to fix this, but not for long at all.

    What should I try to resolve this? Do note that I have tried a mobile hotspot as well and received the same problems. Every other device in my home works fine.

    I also want to note that I'm running a dual boot. My WiFi card recognizes my 5Ghz network on Windows, but only shows the 2.5Ghz on Linux. Why is this the case?

    How can I prevent some unnecessary processes from running at startup? And a bonus question

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 11:19 AM PDT

    Hi all! Using Xubuntu 18.04 on Lenovo V130-14igm.

    I was just wondering where can I disable some processes from running at startup - especially since processes in question I cannot find in the Whisker Menu > Session & Startup?

    For example, here is the output of service --status-all

    snailien@snailien-Lenovo-V130-14IGM:~$ service --status-all

    [ + ] acpid

    [ - ] alsa-utils

    [ - ] anacron

    [ + ] apparmor

    [ + ] apport

    [ + ] avahi-daemon

    [ + ] bluetooth

    [ - ] console-setup.sh

    [ + ] cron

    [ + ] cups

    [ + ] cups-browsed

    [ + ] dbus

    [ + ] grub-common

    [ + ] hddtemp

    [ - ] hwclock.sh

    [ + ] irqbalance

    [ + ] kerneloops

    [ - ] keyboard-setup.sh

    [ + ] kmod

    [ + ] lightdm

    [ + ] lm-sensors

    [ + ] network-manager

    [ - ] plymouth

    [ - ] plymouth-log

    [ - ] pppd-dns

    [ + ] procps

    [ - ] rsync

    [ + ] rsyslog

    [ - ] saned

    [ + ] speech-dispatcher

    [ - ] spice-vdagent

    [ + ] udev

    [ + ] ufw

    [ + ] unattended-upgrades

    [ - ] uuidd

    [ + ] whoopsie

    [ - ] x11-common

    snailien@snailien-Lenovo-V130-14IGM:~$ whatis bluetooth

    bluetooth: nothing appropriate.

    snailien@snailien-Lenovo-V130-14IGM:~$

    As a bonus side question - why can't I find bluetooth using whatis function? And yeah, bluetooth I want to kill at startup as I never ever use(d) it and can't imagine situation where I would :D

    Thanks!

    Questions about setting up virtual machines with VMM and passing through a pcie ethernet adapter.

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:05 PM PDT

    Forgive me if I'm too much of a noob to even ask these questions properly, I'm kind of learning things as I go to accomplish a goal rather than trying to learn linux, networking, and virtualization properly from the basics.

    So i have build a server running Ubuntu 20.04 (with GUI, command line only would have slowed me down although I have been setting most things up in the terminal so I'm starting to get the hang of it.) On this server I have installed an I340-T4 intel based four port pcie Ethernet card. I set up a VM using VMM to run pfSense as the router for my home network and in VMM I configured the network connections for the VM to be the 4 ports on the ethernet card, set them all to macvtap with the source mode as "Passthrough" and device model as "e1000"

    Now here comes the questions. Does this isolate the network adapters on the ethernet card from the rest of the machine? Do I need to do some terminal magic still to blacklist the pcie adapter? If so, what do i need to do?

    Edit: I have this virtual machine functioning and routing my network traffic just fine, I just want to make sure that it's secure and the network connections it has can't be used to break out into the host from the guest.

    Mint random errors and Ubuntu ACPI errors

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 02:55 PM PDT

    Hi guys, I have spent all day trying to install linux on an old notebook LG C400 I fixed and I found so many problems that I even have a log cause it will be so many!
    So first I installed Mint on it, for first look it was running fine, but after rebooting sometimes it dont have wifi, it recognizes the card but can't see any networks and cant even connect to mine that's already saved; sometimes it starts with an weird configuration of the touchpad, sometimes the pad dont even works...
    After some hours trying to fix it with tips I found in the internet with no lucky, I decided to install lubuntu 20.04 but when I boot from USB to install it gives me "ACPI error: AE_NOT_FOUND", "ACPI error: 15" and other numbers too. Saw that I can use "ACPI=off" as an workaround, but when it boots it gives me the same problens as with mint: or i'm without wifi, or without touchpad, or both...
    I'm still with mint installed on the notebook, and after I swore i'd beat the shit out of him, he magically booted with no problems... But i'm afraid of him troubling me again, can someone give me a glance on what the problem can be? Thx in advance!

    Problems with wi-fi drivers

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 04:56 PM PDT

    Hey all, I've been really wanting to start using Linux as I've only ever used windows in the past, but I can't for the life of me get my WiFi adapter to work, started using a netgear wnda3100v3 and that didn't go well at all on Ubuntu, tried all sorts to get it going. bought a Alfa awus036ah as people had good luck with them, but still nothing, installed mint instead to see if I'd have any better luck and directly after the initial updates and enabling the 8812au driver it worked. Stupidly I didn't test it much before moving my computer back into its usual room (have to move it for Ethernet) just saw it light up and that it was listing connections, but now it's dead and I checked event viewer and it says 8812au: version magic '5.0.0-32 generic SMP mod_unload ' should be '5.3.0-51 generic SMP mod_unload so I've moved it back to the Ethernet to attempt updating this but I'm not sure if this is the 8812au that needs updated or if this is referring to something relating to it. Sorry for the long post. Totally new to Linux and really don't want to give up on using it due to WiFi issues seems like an awesome snappy OS.

    nvidia drivers problem

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 08:20 AM PDT

    Hello friends!
    I just installed Manjaro XFCE and have been trying to set it up for a couple of hours. I fixed most of my issues but this one is persistent and im at a loss. Whenever i try opening a new app or even a tab in firefox, the screen flashes into darkness and about a second afterwards returns to normal. I figured that it should be a gpu problem, so i went and checked which gpu is being used ( integrated intel or nvidia gtx 1050 ti). It turns out, that the integrated intel graphics are used, so i tried to install the nvidia drivers, but im getting these errors (hopefully the photo is helpful enough). I tried searching online for solutions but really just got overwhelmed . So i turn to this community for help.
    Thank you all in advance!

    the errors mentioned
