    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 11:31 AM PDT

    Basically, I have started the update from 18.04 to 20.04 using the terminal and it has been going on since well over an hour. It's mostly unpacking and removing stuff now but it has been going on since quite some time and idk if everything is alright or not.

    How does domain registration work?

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 01:16 PM PDT

    Let's say I go to godaddy, I buy the example.com domain for $10. Godaddy goes to the domain name registry managed by the IANA, tells the registry that I'm purchasing the domain and registers me as the owner. But how does all that work? Does godaddy buy that domain on their own when I ask for it, and then sell it to me with an upcharge, or does godaddy buy that domain before I even ask to purchase it and when I ask they transfer ownership. And who determines the value of a domain? The IANA? And who does godaddy purchase their domains from: the IANA? Does the IANA even charge money for their domains, or do they just maintain the registry and if somebody asks for an unused domain they just hand it out for free?

    Cisco Packet Tracer 6.2

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:33 PM PDT

    I'm running Ubuntu 20.04, and need to install packet tracer. I've done the download and the install command. When I try to open to open it through the terminal it tells me packet tracer is starting, but nothing happens.

    Is there anything I can do?

    How to learn vim, emacs and some other essentials for programming in Linux?

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 11:28 AM PDT

    Also what other essentials should I learn besides emacs (by choice) and vim (people say it's the best text editor).

    And how learn all these essentials?

    P.S. I'm using Mint 20.

    Updated laptop from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, and now everything is really slow (I think it's a problem with GPU rendering?)

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 07:13 AM PDT

    Specs:

    • CPU: i5-8250U
    • GPU: Intel UHD 620
    • Previous OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
    • New OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

    Issue (and what I've identified so far):

    • General sluggishness
    • Whenever I launch a new application, the window takes a while to render, and you can see it show up pixel line by line
    • The above program is especially bad whenever it does something that requires redrawing the entire screen (e.g., when I see what windows are open by pressing the super key)
    • High CPU temps
    • Screen brightness controls do not work
    • I think this is the problem: glxinfo | grep render shows, among other things, OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 10.0.0, 256 bits). Some googling suggests this indicates that the CPU is rendering graphics via software and not using the GPU at all.
    • neofetch and lspci correctly identify the Intel GPU

    What I've tried so far:

    • Launch a different DE (issue persists across DEs)
    • Reinstall Intel GPU drivers (via apt/terminal)
    • Reinstall OpenGL (again via apt/terminal)
    • Reinstall xserver (via apt/terminal)
    • sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and reboot (no change)
    • systemctl --user unset-environment LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE and reboot (no change)
    • sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall (no change)
    • Check software center and tab "additional drivers" (nothing shows up)

    I guess as a last resort I could just reinstall Ubuntu, but I'd rather not do that. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

    Is it possible for native Android apps to run on a desktop Linux Distro provided that the same libs and architecture be used with little to no alteration? Since they both run on the same Linux kernel (I think).

    Posted: 01 Oct 2020 07:45 PM PDT

    Something else to add on, would the opposite work? A native Linux application on an Android OS. Of course I'm not talking about the ones that are coded in Kotlin/Java and run on the Android Java Runtime.

    I think very complex software like 3d games won't work but maybe simpler ones like music players, 2d platformer games, calendars could?

    If it's not possible, what sort of modifications are to be made?

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 02:03 PM PDT

    Hey,

    So there is a app called Fender Fuse for old guitar amplifier on Windows and I wanted to try it on my linux machine.

    I installed a windows 7 on virtualbox and installed the app there, is there any way to somehow connect my amp to the Fuse app on virtualbox?

    Cause when I plug my amp it doesn't recognize my amplifier?

    Does weak wifi have something to do with the operating system?

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 10:07 AM PDT

    So, some 8-9 months back, I had windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 as dual boot. But soon after I decided to completely use Ubuntu 18.04LTS, so I removed both the OS and installed Ubuntu 18.04 from scratch. But this time, I started to face the problem of too-weak wifi. So, I reinstalled ubuntu again but nothing. After that, I removed 18.04 and installed 20.04LTS, but again wifi doesn't work. And to this day, I'm using ethernet from my mobile. The wifi doesn't even connect. I've tried installing Realtek software from GitHub but nothing worked out. Could it be because of the OS? Should I try to install some other OS like Mint or some other Linux distro?

    Looking to get more insight about /boot/efi/EFI

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 01:50 PM PDT

    Hello everyone, first post here.

    Can someone please give me a more detailed explanation about this directory? Preferably on a dual boot system (windows being the other OS).

    /boot/efi/EFI on my machine:

    $sudo ls -l /boot/efi/EFI
    total 3
    drwx------ 2 root root 1024 out 14 2018 Boot
    drwx------ 2 root root 1024 set 27 20:15 debian
    drwx------ 4 root root 1024 out 12 2018 Microsoft

    I recently made an upgrade to the BIOS which removed the GRUB, I managed to restored it but in the process I may have modified some things that I shouldn't have. If I take a look at $sudo efibootmgr I get this output which confuses me if I compared it to /boot/efi/EFI:

    BootCurrent: 0000
    Timeout: 1 seconds
    BootOrder: 0000,0003,0004,0001
    Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager
    Boot0001* Hard Drive
    Boot0003* Windows Boot Manager
    Boot0004* Grub

    Apparently Boot0000* is loading the GRUB (?!) which should be the job of Boot0004*...

    -- Something isn't right here -- Ubuntu 20.04, Network Manager and Non-Active interfaces

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 07:30 AM PDT

    I'm trying to get a few VMs going. Fresh install of minimal ubuntu 20.04 lts.

    1. The fresh install is not using netplan or NetworkManager by default. I thought this was supported to be.
    2. Followed the guide here to switch it over to network-manager
    3. I used nmtui to set the hostname and set a static address for the server.
    4. reboot
    5. the interface is down after a reboot
    6. used nmcli to activate the interface
    7. reboot again as a test
    8. the interface is down again
    9. I searched and search, but I cannot find a solution to this.

    The biggest thing that confuses me is that damn near every single guide out there seems to be a copier of each other, and the .yaml files in /etc/networking/ are different. I have 00-installer-config.yaml. I have yet to see this exact file in any guide that I find. It's always something else. What is up with my image? I'm using the latest minimal directly from one of the mirrors on ubuntu's website.

    Why is updating the kernel so smooth, in general?

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 03:28 AM PDT

    Recently upgraded the kernel of my AMD based laptop and was blown by how smooth the whole process was.

    Most driver updates (When manually done) took me hours; getting trivial things to work, such as brightness control, stopped my laptop from booting; any simple config changes had always messed something or the other up. Given all these problems I have always had with all my previous laptops, was very hesitant in doing anything kernel related, but did it anyway because apparently the AMD CPU and iGPU are barely used with 5.4 and support got far better with 5.8, and literally all the issues i previously had vanished.

    Given how frequent issues with manually installing or debugging drivers are, how come a complete kernel update worked that smooth and fixed so many problems at once which would have taken hours or more to fix individually.

    Not sure how relevant this is but I use Ubuntu 20.04 and followed instructions given here

    Timeshift Snapshot Restore between Distros

    Posted: 01 Oct 2020 09:59 PM PDT

    Hi, I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and am looking to switch to POP OS.

    I made a Timeshift snapshot in Ubuntu. Can I simply install POP OS and restore the snapshot that I made in Ubuntu ? Are snapshots compatible between distros (with same base) ?

    Thanks.
