    How To Set Up Ubuntu 20.04 For Gaming Tutorial

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 05:00 AM PDT

    Hi everyone.

    With the latest release of Ubuntu and the ever growing popularity of Linux gaming in general, I thought it would be a good idea to produce a quick video that covers the steps you need do in order to set up the latest version of Ubuntu for gaming.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DToZ9wU2qRk&feature=youtu.be

    This video covers setting up Ubuntu 20.04 for gaming on Linux including installing GPU drivers, Wine Staging, Lutris, Steam with Proton enabled, and setting up Feral Gamemode to work with games loaded from both Lutris and Steam.

    But for people who prefer a written guide, see below:

    Step 1: Install the latest GPU driver that supports DXVK for your system.

    For nVidia GPU:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

    sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440 libnvidia-gl-440 libnvidia-gl-440:i386

    sudo apt install libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386

    Restart your system once done.

    For AMD / Intel GPU:

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

    sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

    sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

    Restart once done.

    Step 2: Install The Latest Version of Wine Staging Branch

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/win...

    sudo apt-key add winehq.key

    sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubu... eoan main'

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging

    sudo apt-get install libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 libxml2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libdbus-1-3:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386

    Step 3: Install The Latest Version of Lutris

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris

    sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lutris

    Step 4: Install Steam and Enable Proton For All Games

    sudo apt install steam

    Once installed, open Steam and sign into your account.

    Navigate to Steam / Settings / Steam Play / Advanced and tick Enable Steam Play for all other titles.

    Once done, restart Steam to apply.

    Step 5: Enable Feral Gamemode for Steam and Lutris.

    By default in Ubuntu 20.04, Gamemode is preinstalled, but it still needs to be enabled manually for games.

    For Steam, right click on the Properties of a game, click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS.. and then type the following: gamemoderun %command% Click OK, and then Close to apply.

    For Lutris, navigate to Preferences / System options / Command prefix and type in the following: gamemoderun

    As always if this is helpful, please consider subscribing to my channel to support me.

    Thanks

    Trust a snap app, or trust a company's repository?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 10:54 AM PDT

    Hello, I've been using various distributions of linux for years; but still consider myself a noob, so here's my current noob question:

    I'd like to install Spotify on my machine. They offer their client via snap and via deb package. Which should be my preference? Feels like either way you're trusting that publisher. I don't know much about the snap, it's just another packaging system right?

    Thanks!

    Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 rolling out?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:33 PM PDT

    I know it's early and 20.04 has just been released but I am eager to try it out and it is not available to me yet. I have checked software settings - "any version" is selected. I tried to trigger the upgrade using Settings - about, and also with the terminal.

    Is the upgrade rolling out slowly - I'm in Canada - or should I be concerned? I'm running 19.10 and this was installed on my PC not long ago (maybe one month ago).

    system won't make /dev/ttyusb0

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 05:39 AM PDT

    Fedora 27

    I've been working with an esp8266 through the Arduino IDE. Things were working well but then I am not sure what changed. Previously in the Arduino IDE, /dev/ttyusb0 (though sometimes /dev/ttyusb1) would show up as an available port. Now it does not, even after restarting the IDE and the machine.

    when I run

    lsusb 

    I get a line that sees the device

    Bus 001 Device 019: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP2102/CP2109 UART Bridge Controller [CP210x family] 

    but when I list the files in /dev, there are no /ttyusbx files at all.

    Previously I did a

    modprobe cp210x 

    which worked to add the driver, but now I get "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'cp210x': Exec format error" and cp210x does not show up when I run lsmod.

    I am not sure what changed here, or what else to do.

    Thoughts? Thanks

    ELI5: The GNOME workflow

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:36 AM PDT

    I keep hearing how GNOME has a workflow that is different from the Windows-style taskbar and desktop model used by competing DEs like KDE (namely the removal of desktop icons and hiding the dock unless you click the activities tab), but haven't found much in the way of explanations on how GNOME wants users to use it and what advantages or disadvantages it has. Can any GNOME users explain?

    Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 02:46 PM PDT

    I was booting Ubuntu mate 20.04 live and a brief flash of errors comes up before the typical bootpage then when I hit try without installing, initramfs unpacking failed appears then a string of numbers. When I attempt to write them down, the numbers are never the same. The disk automatically checks itself for errors, and none are found and despite this, the live session boots normally. I have used two different USBs and downloaded Ubuntu three times, yet continue receiving the same error. Is it a glitch, something I need to change in BIOS. What is the problem?

    [NOOB Question] Why are there so many folders on the harddrive?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    My question might be stupid but I'll give it a try since this board is for noobs like me.

    If you open your harddrive you see:

    bin, home, opt, snap, var, boot, lib, proc, srv, cdrom, lib64, root, sys, dev, media, run, tmp, etc, mnt .... I think you get the point.

    Why are there so many folders? Was it not possible to make a folder for all user data including pictures and documents, another for everything that is important for the system itself and a third one in which there is only stuff for software (the best thing would be that every software is "portable" and only needs a folder or an icon)?

    I know that the folders that are already there are not there for fun and all serve a purpose. But why didn't people choose to make it simpler when they started making linux?

    Please help a noob by explaining this, I really appreciate your help :-)

    Where can this file be found? - linux5-bbswitch

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 05:29 AM PDT

    Manjaro 20.0 Lysia; Kernel version: 5.4.34-1

    I am trying to integrate Optimus Manager QT in my system for hybrid usage of Intel and NVIDIA cards. Have been following the instructions of user openminded on the Manjaro forums over here https://forum.manjaro.org/t/install-drivers-for-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-without-bumblebee/114828/3 and after installing Yay, I successfully downloaded and installed optimus-manager-qt. However, the next command is

    sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qo /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz |cut -c54-60)-bbswitch 

    and after executing it I get

    error: target not found: linux5-bbswitch 

    How would you suggest dealing with this?

    [PROBLEM] Installing Mint on 2-in-1 and resolution

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 08:07 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, recently i've installed Mint on my Asus TH101HA in dual boot with Windows 10, and i've been having some problems with the resolution. A big problem i've been having is that this device's display is vertically oriented by default for some god forbidden reason, and even though i changed the orientation of the screen through the system's settings, it's still rotated wrong when it's booting up or when i'm logging as a user. The thing that bugs me, is that when i'm in the UEFI the display is actually in landscape mode, but when i get into Mint it always switches back to portrait mode, and there are seemingly no options to change this. Does anyone know a way to get past this ? Thanks in advance !

    EDIT : i also forgot to mention that despite having fixed the orientation through the system settings, the touchscreen remains uncalibrated to the new orientation.

    Installing a winetricks component manually

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 11:07 AM PDT

    I've been trying to install this "riched30" thingy for a while now, but my connection to the server keeps being refused for some reason. I found the file in question on another site, but I am not sure how to install it, whether through Wine or something else. Any suggestions? I've looked on Google for a while, with no success.

    I put "export WINEARCH=win32" and "export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32" prior to installing everything, this is what my particular guide document is telling me, if that makes any difference.

    [Question] Installed Ubuntu in the same disk drive as Windows, anyway to remove it?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    I dualbooted Ubuntu to use CheckRa1n but I made a huge mistake by installing Ubuntu in local disk C where Windows 10 is installed. All the methods to uninstall dual boot safely is to format the disk where its installed but in my case doing that would fry my windows. Its not really annoying me but i am running low on storage in my SSD and would love to be able to get back the storage used by linux.

    Is there anyway to completely uninstall it without breaking my windows. I didnt even make a new folder or anything, all the linux folders are just lying randomly in between the windows/programfiles/users folders.
