| You should know how to make custom commands! Its very simple and insanely useful!! Posted: 29 Jun 2020 01:44 AM PDT Go to your home directory and type: You can use any text editor Try not to mess around too much here, but in short what ever is in this file will be run every time you launch the terminal, make your way to the bottom and make your custom command by typing: or use this for multiple commands now save by pressing ctrl+0, don't change the name and ctrl+x to exit. now whenever you type test, command will be executed! (reopen the terminal) The bashrc file can also be used for more customization, you can use figlet or lolcat or something to have fun! gives whenever i open the terminal pretty cool huh? There are other cool things you can do with this, maybe you can replace some repetitive tasks you do with one command and other cool things i hope this helps you, i am new to linux so feel free to correct me if i m wrong !

| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 11:43 AM PDT Hello, this is probably a stupid question... i am trying to run a headless server, and doing that without installing a graphics card. Also no iGpu. The way imagined it to work: I plugin the gpu, install linux, enable ssh, unplug gpu. Is that even possible? [link] [comments]  |
| Disadvantages of dual booting? Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:59 AM PDT I probably should've asked this sooner, but yesterday I installed Ubuntu by following ksk royal's tutorial . When I visited some subreddits I saw people not liking dual boot and leaving it. Are there any big disadvantages of dual booting with this method, or dual booting in general? If there is, can I revert it? [link] [comments]  |
| FYI: Speedtest.net now has an official terminal app Posted: 28 Jun 2020 06:48 PM PDT I've used the unofficial terminal speedtest but ditched it because it seemed really inaccurate and a bit clunky. I notice today that speedtest.net now has an official terminal app and it gives consistent results that match the website results. [link] [comments]  |

| Screen stopped working on Ubuntu laptop Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:00 AM PDT So, as the title says my screen recently quit working on my Ubuntu laptop. I have a feeling it has to do with the Intel graphics card. I did get it working with an external monitor and when I checked it was running on the Nevida card. I tried switching back to the Intel (using prime select) one and now I can't get the external or internal monitors to work. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Edit: I got it working on a VGA external monitor but the HDMI and internal screen are still not working. [link] [comments]  |
| How do I set specific Java version in minecraft launcher? Posted: 29 Jun 2020 12:28 PM PDT I know where to go to set a java version, but I don't know what directory I should put into the text box for the java executable. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2020 03:31 PM PDT From a little google-fu I've found out that this is to do with Chromium being unable to play DRM content (In all honesty I don't really understand what that means) but this leaves me confused as to why it was working orignally but not now? I use Chromium because I'm not a fan of Firefox and like the UI/UX of chrome - however wanted a lightweight, less bloated and less google-fied version because my hardware is quite old and Chrome basically gives it a stroke. I don't really want to have to install a second browser JUST to watch Netflix - is there another way around this? If it helps I'm running Kubuntu 20.04 (freshly installed only a week ago with hardly anything changed/installed) Is there a simple workaround? Or would you recommend another browser? (Needs to be compatible with the Netflix party extension and preferably syncs up settings and bookmarks with my google account) Thanks! :) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 11:37 AM PDT I'm currently on PureOS right now and trying to install etcher to write another OS to my flash drive as I'm trying some different OSs out. I found a decent guide but once I got to running the app I got a mount error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? [link] [comments]  |
| What's the best AntiVirus to use on Linux in 2020? Posted: 29 Jun 2020 11:01 AM PDT I use shared folders with Windows computers over VMs and want to avoid getting those infected. I also work with a lot of files which are sent to other computers from colleagues running Windows and want to avoid getting them infected. Therefore I need to have some sort of AntiVirus solution in order to keep everyone safe. I have already tried ClamAV and didn't really like it, so please do not recommend it. I used to have Sophos for Linux, but am not sure they still provide the service. What other solutions are available today? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:00 AM PDT Alright, so I just recently set up a new arch system. However, I went the minimalist route and configured my tiling window manager and X to start up directly after login. There's only one user on the system (other than root). So, my question is how many of you out there use a display manager and why? I know this probably is not the best place to post this but I think a lot of newbies will get valuable information from your comments. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 10:35 AM PDT I Know I can run the profile manager using "firefox -P" and previously, I simply modified an existing ".desktop" entry and used that. I cant figure out how to modify the ".desktop" files that are a part of the gnome shell favourites? [link] [comments]  |
| Constant loopback on microphone Posted: 29 Jun 2020 10:00 AM PDT I have literally tried and googled everything and I cannot figure out why I have mic loopback constantly. It starts as soon as my bootloader loads and doesn't stop no matter what I do. Pactl list short modules doesn't show that any loopback modules are running. This is literally drving me mentally insane. [link] [comments]  |
| What's the best way to set aliases for both root and the current user? Posted: 29 Jun 2020 01:44 AM PDT So I want to set a alias (alias rm='rm -i') For making the rm command safe against general malware (I've seen people take advantage of being root and do "rm -rf /" This will stop that. But how do I set it for my root user? Since I can set it for my current user but if i do sudo in front of a alias it doesn't work. Solved, u/Helpful-Garbage [link] [comments]  |
| How do I make steam blend in more with my desktop? Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:15 AM PDT Im using PopKDEDark as my theme, which is just a port of PopOS's theme to KDE, but I can't seem to find any steam related theme that makes it blend in more with my computer. What should I do to fix this? [link] [comments]  |
| What are these memdisk and floppy.img files and how to create or get them to work like this? Posted: 29 Jun 2020 05:25 AM PDT Reposting, original post : https://www.reddit.com/r/kernel/comments/hhwkoi/what_are_these_memdisk_and_floppyimg_files_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x I am following a course which involves creating a simple kernel which I can run on a VM(virtualbox) and debugging using gdb(running on another VM - ubuntu) over serial port. The video tutorial shows use of these two files:
after this sudo mount temp/ /dev/sdb1/command : the two files are copied to the temp/directory . There is also this command used : The final result was: after placing this HardDisk(vhd) in a virtual machine, it should boot up to a screen like this : https://i.stack.imgur.com/0gNxY.png some gdb commands that the instructor runs on the Ubuntu VM (after the above screen has come up): further details: The contents of menu.lst inside temp/boot/grub/ : contents of grub.cfg in temp/boot/grub/ : My questions:
I tried creating a blank floppy.imgusing and also aquired memdisk from syslinux but it didn't didn't work The reason I am asking this here is that the instructor did not provide links to download those files. Please bear with me and suggest a way using which I can accomplish the above. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 08:57 AM PDT Hi All, I am very interested in migrating over to Linux, and I already use it on one of my extra laptops. I want to commit on my main gaming PC, but I also use it for school quite often. Has anyone currently in a university have experience with Linux and know if that will prevent me from using various applications I'm required to use for school? Would dual-booting be a viable option as well? [link] [comments]  |

| Linux not booting but HDD is recognised after Windows repair on different HDD Posted: 29 Jun 2020 08:03 AM PDT My setup is the following: I have two HDD in my computer. One contains the windows and the other one a Debian 10 Buster stable. The Debian-HDD is split and has a shared partition, which can be used by both the windows and the linux. The Problem: After an update, Windows didn't boot so I had to do a repair using the tools provided by Windows. Now my windows is running again but my linux isn't recognised as boot device. I can access the shared partition on the Debain-HDD via Windows but I can't boot into linux. Even if I disconnect the Windows-HDD, the Debian-HDD isn't recognised as a boot device. (Sorry for the bad english.) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:54 AM PDT TL;DR: Can't browse network In Nemo (empty, with "smb:///" in the address bar); typing smb://computer_IP or smb://computer_name works fine (displays all the shares & lets me browse contents). Long: Been using Mint 19.3 for about a month, everything worked pretty much out of the box: right-clicked "Sharing options" to share a folder, was prompted with "Samba needs to be installed to enable sharing," clicked "OK," rebooted & everything "just worked." Still does. Installed Mint 20 on the same drive, but sharing's no longer a one-click deal -- similar prompt about installing Samba, adding yourself to sambashare group & configuring firewall, but no more "would you like us to do everything for you?" with a friendly "OK" button. Installed Samba, added myself to sambashare, firewall is off, identical testparm output for both 19.3 and 20; 19.3 works, 20 doesn't. Any clues? Am new, so nothing's too obvious to mention. Thanks.

| SSH commands to use in terminal Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:49 AM PDT Hi I don't know if this is the right place to ask this...but I've never used Linux and I'm trying to help a friend on his website he sent me these commands to access all the data : ssh -N -L 9090:127.0.0.1:90 -i ~/.ssh/pezinhonofuturo.pem ubuntu@18.230.159.228 endereço: http://127.0.0.1:9090/ user: admin password: ****** ssh -N -L 9090:127.0.0.1:90 -i ~/.ssh/pezinhonofuturo.pem ubuntu@18.230.159.228 I write these down on the terminal but nothing happens, what is the correct way? Thank you all [link] [comments]  |
| Difference between running application from terminal and from start menu? Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:00 AM PDT I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with QOpenVPN where if I run it from the start menu (and through auto-start upon login) it will hang/freeze whenever I start/stop my VPN connection. This issue is not present if I launch through terminal, which sucks because I would want to view to output. Does anyone know if there are any relevant differences between the two methods of launching? Environment/User/permissions etc? My environemnt is:Linux Arch (5.7.6-zen1-1-zen) with XFCE. Ninja edit: QOpenVPN is a graphical front-end positioned in the system tray which controls a systemd service of a configured OpenVPN connection. It is built with python and Qt. [link] [comments]  |
