    Linux I'm planning on switching to Linux

    I'm planning on switching to Linux

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:28 AM PDT

    As Windows finally starts to get on my nerves, I'm thinking more and more often about switching to Linux, but I need some advice here.

    I decided I'm going to go with either Arch Linux or Ubuntu, but I'm having a bit of a tough time choosing between the two. Could someone please tell me how they compare and which one might be better for me?

    I plan on mostly learning programming (c++, maybe others, if that matters), making documents, maybe playing some games.

    This would be my first ever time installing and using Linux so I'm looking for beginner advice, whatever that might be.

    How To Update The Linux Kernel In Ubuntu

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 09:05 AM PDT

    Hi everyone.

    So by default you cannot usually update the Linux kernel in Ubuntu, which creates a problem if you are using newer hardware that is not supported by older kernels.

    So after a suggestion from a comment on one of my YouTube videos, I thought it might be useful to produce a quick video on that subject.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdPpo3AtwY8&feature=youtu.be

    I will using the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer for this purpose which can be installed using the Terminal by typing the following:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cappelikan/ppa

    sudo apt update

    sudo apt install mainline

    Once installed, simply launch the application, select the Linux kernel that you wish to install, and reboot.

    Ubuntu will automatically boot into the most recent Linux kernel but if you want an option to choose a kernel, I recommend installing GRUB Customizer through the terminal.

    sudo apt install grub-customizer

    Once installed launch, and navigate to General Settings, Change Boot default entry after to a value higher than 0 seconds, and under advanced settings, change GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE value to 0.

    Once done, save the configuration.

    As always if you found this helpful, please consider liking the video and subscribing to my channel for more content like this.

    Thanks

    I might switch from Xubuntu 18.04. This looks great. Thoughts on this? I have a Toshiba Satellite with 4GB RAM and 64 bit capability.

    Why cant I load any older versions of minecraft?

    How would I go about this specific installation setup?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:57 PM PDT

    Currently on Windows 8.1 installed on a SSD, I also have 3 Hard disks and another SSD. Is there a way I can dual boot and install Manjaro Linux on the second SSD, also having both Windows and Linux use the space of the hard drives?

    Lenovo P53 Dual Boot Help

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:18 AM PDT

    Hey all, I'm having issues installing Linux and other distros.

    My latest issue was installing Mint. After install and reboot, I was stuck in the grub command line. All commands I found on the web didn't work.

    I've since removed Mint. The biggest issue and frustration Is the distro I tried did not support my wireless card AX200. What would you suggest I do at this point? Should I try another distro?

    Thanks in advance!

    [Fedora] Just installed sxhkd and bspwm, having trouble locking my screen

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:23 PM PDT

    I am trying to figure out how I can lock my screen akin to how in gnome you can do it with 'Super + L'. I can't seem to find any CLI command to lock the screen this way, once I find a command I can just put it in my sxhkdrc.

    Does anyone now the CLI command for this?

    Mx Linux fresh install games run poorly

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:58 PM PDT

    Just installed mx on my brand-new desktop. AMD CPU and and gpu. Csgo hardly runs at all. Like 1 fps. Obviously something isn't right. I thought amd made things so much easier in Linux. It seems like the game isn't using the gpu. Any suggestions?

    TIA Edit installed the AHS version Cpu is ryzen 7 3700x GPU is Radeon RX 5700xt

    Looking for a better Task manager in linux.

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:25 PM PDT

    The Task manager in Manjaro XFCE is ok but it is missing some major points. That being the harddrive monitor. It doesn't list any harddrive monitor. I know it seems weird to want it. But, I have caught a couple pieces of malware with it. By sitting idle and noticing that the drives that shouldn't be active are active and I know you are not supposed to worry as much about viruses on linux. But, I assume there will come a time.

    Having problems with VLC in Manjaro xfce

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:14 PM PDT

    I have been playing around with Manjaro and when I watch a movie with VLC and then close the movie. VLC will stay open and will not close. It stays open in the system tray area of the XFCE gui. When I right click and tell it to quit it does not respond and it will not open a new MOVIE and it will not continue playing the old movie and even opening VLC and going to open file does not work. I have to restart system.

    I do not know if this is a manjaro bug or if there is a way to fix it. I do not know the "kill" command for linux. I do not know anything Linux TBH.

    Migrating totally from Windows (deleting dual boot), need some tips

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 04:19 AM PDT

    As I said in the title I'm going to remove Windows on the dual boot because I'm really done with it and his stupid behavior. But I'm really missing some things on Arch that I liked to have on Windows.

    I know, there are a lot of questions, sorry, but even if you can help me solve one it'd nice <3

    1. Most important: An Android/ARM64 emulator, but not like AnBox or Genymotion, something that can truly emulate an ARM Phone like BlueStacks or Nox does on Windows. (Some games aren't on x86_64 Android but only ARM/ARM64)
    2. Some tip about to setup correctly the best AMD driver, I read the amdgpu wiki page but some information might be outdated: giving that I have a 5700XT should I use the mesa-git version and what else? How's your personal opinion on the drivers right now? Is there a Vulkan Cache or something?
    3. On Windows I use WOMic, that is something that use the phone as a mic wirelessly (server+client) - but under Linux I had no luck to make it run, probably because the instruction are outdated or I can't understand the last parameter to make it a recordable flux for discord.<Link to the site> - If it's impossibile, is there any alternative? I can't get a real mic right now, and the quality was even better than the old headset and It was ok for me.
    4. Something that I'd really like to have is an alternative to the 'Radeon Software' I have on Windows: it has good functions like game-streaming/recording/replay and a pretty easy way to edit fan curve and GPU frequency and see GPU stats in-game like MSI Afterburner.
    5. Less important: Probably it's me, but the screens seems more blurry and less clear (currently using Plasma, but had the same on standard KDE some months ago). Am I missing some settings?
    6. Less important too: Wallpaper Engine for Linux, pretty much it - there's any way to run animated video/scenes on Arch?

    And then, some questions just for information, do guys recommend to stick to default Kernel or use some fork for gaming or, in general, what is your tips and experience about that?

    Is ext4 still 'the go to' or we got something better now? (Using an m.2 NVME and Sata HDD)

    I installed a gtk theme on xfce and the system tray icons won't display.

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:50 PM PDT

    I installed this icon theme https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1352717/

    The icons work elsewhere, but the bluetooth, wifi indicator won't work. How can I fix this so they are recognized? I've tried different folders, even tried dragging in icons from other icon packs that do work, but not really getting anywhere. I like this icon pack, but just need this last bit to work.

    Bashing my head around to make an FTP work like a normal FTP

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:46 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Let me settle the level of pissed off I am by saying I'm ready to take a bullet from this bs.

    Now, to the real deal.

    I'm trying to setup an FTP on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine for two directories present in www (apache that is). Permissions work like a charm. I and one friend are going to use it, so two accounts.

    What does not work like a charm is the unholy motherfucking FTP.

    I'm using VSFTPD. Installation itself was easy. Everything went fine. Then, I created the two accounts said earlier, added them to the group to have permissions of writing in the directory. So far, going pretty ok.

    Then, I've enabled the "chroot_local_user=YES" option. I've managed to change "home" directories for the two created account into the www/ folder. I don't care if this is not recommended or anything, I just wanted to keep things straight and simples. Those account will be used only to use the two directory, nothing else.

    I manage to connect using Filezilla on a Windows 10 machine. I use both local IP and internet IP. Both works.

    Now, my friends tries to connect, and can't do shit. I've verified with him, nothing stands out. He just can't do anything : everytime he tries to navigate or upload a file, the client disconnect itself (Disconnect because inactivity) we tried to put "0" for the timeout settings in filezilla but instead it does nothing, he can't even connect now.

    So, I had enough. First I tried to make a passive FTP. Does not work. All ports are open on my internet box. Does not work. Still the same issue.

    So, I try to put FTPS. Generated Cert and key. Put the right config. Does not work. Now I can't connect to my own FTP, even with the local IP. Worse, everyone is like "use the 22 port" but I can't do that, my internet box only have from 32768 to 42000. No 20. No 21. No 20. Nothing else besides those. And I've been searching, nothing to change the port for SSL. So I'm fucked.

    I tried to play around options, nothing works. It's been more 6 hours of constant fight now.

    This is my config : https://pastebin.com/2FMYDm9D

    What I need to do. I beg you. Really, I can't take it anymore. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SHIT WORKS.

    Thanks.

    Segmentation fault (core dump) help

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 08:48 AM PDT

    I've been using dvdbackup for a few years now, however, I've recently hit a 'Segmentation fault (core dump)' error and I'd appreciate any help to debug. I was able to find the core dump file and based on my extremely limited knowledge, it looks like the issue is with one of dvdbackup's dependencies, libdvdread.

    I ran gdb to glean anything I could from the core dump file (output below), this is how I figure the problem is really with libdvdread instead of dvdbackup. However, I'm kind of stuck here and don't know where to go next. This was working fine a month ago, and I haven't made any major changes / updates to my system (aside from normal package updates).

    Any suggestions about where to look next? Also, does this seem like a problem with my computer or the software?

    How Standard is Dracut?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:44 AM PDT

    I am doing my Linux+ on linuxacademy.com and am learning about dracut. I just have a quick question. I know some systems have a special script written by the devs for configuring initramfs, how often is dracut usable? Like does every system offer it? Or are there some systems that dracut won't work on? Sorry if this is a bad question...

    Hello guys. Strange bluetooth issue in Ubuntu 16. I have an updated system and I'm using MX Master 2S mouse. When I turn on the computer and connect the mouse, it works fine. However, when I switch it to a different channel and switch back, it stops working. In the bluetooth menu, it shows as paired

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    Any help in resolving this issue is very appreciated.

    Everything was working fine and I could easily switch my mouse between my Windows and Ubuntu computer. However, one night I left my computer running over night, and in the morning the mouse had stopped working.

    This also happens when I leave the computer idle for long time. When I come back, the mouse will not work even if it the bluetooth menu shows it as paired.

    I'm hoping this is not an issue with the mouse.

    Forking in bash scripts

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 07:54 AM PDT

    Hello.

    Let's say I have systemd unit parent.service which have ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/parent.sh as a argument. While parent.sh is running it invokes a child.sh script.

    1. Is child.sh fork of the parent.sh? Or are they running paralelly on the same level?
    2. What Type= should be specified inside unit configuration file?

    How to not run anaconda3 python?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 10:55 AM PDT

    I want to be able to run python3 without anaconda but still be able to start jupyter-notebook without typing the whole anaconda path. I have this in my .bashrc file:

    export PATH="/snap/bin:/usr/bin/python3:~/dart-sass:~/scripts:$PATH"

    export PATH="~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

    When I run python3 in the terminal it starts anaconda's python, but here I have my path to python3 set first. I had it in the same line after the python path too, but that did not work either.

    ​

    Thank you

    I really like googler, but what I can't seem to figure out is how to run a search in google that opens a window with the results displayed?

    I'm pretty new to scripting but I'm also about to get my degree in CS so I'm OK with more complex explanations or suggestions.
