| Copy/Paste using Barrier bug? Weird Chinese text Posted: 27 Jan 2021 05:05 AM PST TLDR - has the Chinese government hacked my computer? Linux Mint? LibreOffice? EdX? Barrier? I have Linux Mint 20 Ulyanna (hereinafter referred to as Mint) on my laptop. I have another Windows 10 laptop (hereinafter referred to as Win10) that I use for things that require Windows (like work, school, etc.). The two are connected by Barrier. Today, I was working on something via Firefox on the Mint computer and I copied and pasted a spreadsheet from the website (edx.org) to LibreCalc. After having some trouble trying to get used to the slightly different interface of LibreCalc, I switched over to Excel on Win10. I recopied the spreadsheet and moved my cursor to the Excel sheet on Win10 computer. Instead of printing out the spreadsheet (like it did on the LibreCalc sheet, it displayed this huge amount of Chinese characters/text (see at end of post). This only happens when I copy something from LibreCalc on my Mint laptop and try to paste it into Excel on my Win10 laptop. If I copy something from the text editor on Mint and paste it into anything on Win10, no problems. If I copy something from LibreCalc on Mint to anything, I get Chinese characters? FWIW - I am an American and have never been to China. See below: Google Translator wasn't quite up to the task, so I used DeepL: Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Edit - The Chinese text should actually say "This is a test from Mint text editor to Win10 Excel" Edit2 - Scroll to the right for the English translation, it says more than just home [link] [comments]  |

| Dual Boot from 2 drives without using Grub? Posted: 27 Jan 2021 07:06 AM PST I am currently using Ubuntu 19.10 on an old HDD. I want to install an SSD as the boot drive with the latest version of Ubuntu. I don't want to continue dual booting once I have my new drive working properly and all of the software I use set up properly. However, until the SSD is ready to take over, I would like to keep the HDD in a state that I could boot from it if I needed to. I am happy to change the boot device in the BIOS should I need to switch so my question is: Will the installation of my new OS (might not be Ubuntu in the end) want to add the old OS to the boot options in grub or will it safely ignore it allowing me to control boot by changing the BIOS. If I had to physically disconnect the old HDD before the installation to the SSD, am I likely to face any issues when I reconnect it? Thanks in advance for any tips! [link] [comments]  |
| ipod shuffle 4th gen. and Rhythmbox/Clementine Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:02 AM PST I've posted this on the Ubuntu subreddit but no response. Here's my question: I am able to move podcasts to the ipod shuffle 4th gen using Rhythmbox and play them, but once listened to, if I try to delete them, then I get an error message. Rhythmbox crashes each time I try to delete, and Clementine says it is not possible. How can I sync and delete to an ipod shuffle 4th gen in Ubuntu? Also, what would happen if I formatted the iPod for linux. Would the play button still work once mp3s are stored on it, or would that turn it into a simple usb stick? [link] [comments]  |
| how cleanly do snaps uninstall? Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:57 PM PST I have a question about how cleanly snap packages uninstall. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and am trying out a lot of software (both snap packages and .deb packages), most of which I don't intend to keep. I'm running the software that I'm trying out on a KVM virtual machine so that I can fully and cleanly get rid of installed packages without hassle. However, with respect to the snap packages that I'm trying out, I'm wondering whether it's necessary to install and run them under a VM to ensure that I can fully get rid of them. Since snap packages are run out of their own container, does that mean that they uninstall more cleanly than a .deb? I understand that after uninstalling a .deb package (i.e., sudo apt purge) there still may be changes to the system as compared to before the .deb was installed. Is it the case that the removal of snap packages (i.e., sudo snap remove) is more clean because snap packages are containerized? In other words, after uninstalling a snap package (that was installed directly on the machine, not on a VM), will my system be virtually identical to what it was like prior to the snap installation? I'm primarily worried about cleanly removing apps that I don't want to keep after trying them out. (I'm not too worried about malware because I'm only trying out software from the Ubuntu repository and from the snap store.) If I want to ensure a clean uninstall of snap packages, is there any benefit to having installed them on a VM? Or is it the case that since they're containerized they delete fully and cleanly, meaning that it's not necessary to use a VM to ensure clean removal? Any thoughts or advice on this matter would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |

| Help system systemd - trying to enable user service Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:07 PM PST Greetings, I've spun up an ubuntu instance on AWS and installed my Unity game server to it. I can run the service from an SSH terminal window and connect to it from my clients. Now I want to configure the server to run automatically when the instance boots up. I created a systemd unit file called DBServer.service as follows: [Service] [Install] I've tried placing it both in /etc/systemd/system and /etc/systemd/user. I've run systemctl daemon-reload What step(s) am I missing to get this configured to launch automatically when the instance boots? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| how to abort apt installation (ctrl+c not working) Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:06 PM PST I installed tlp to optimize battery life on my laptop. installation guide recommends to also install acpi-call-dkms for thinkpad laptops. during installation it warned my I have secure boot enabled and that I need to set secure boot password and I really don't want to mess with it as I have windows on the laptop I need for work. I tried to abort the installation, there is no option to exit, ctrl+c, ctrl+x, ctrl+q is not working. so I closed the terminal, but it looks like installation is still running, I'm unable to install anything else with apt-get as it is locked. when I restarted computer and tried to install anyting I got error that dkpg is corrupted and I should run sudo dpkg --configure -a and when I did acpi-call-dkms resumed.

| Why can't I make new files or move data from my other HDs? Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:50 PM PST Hey it's me again. I searched for over 3 hours now for a solution for my problem and I reached a point where I'm not even frustrated anymore, I'm just angry how over complicated this thing is. I have my main HD were everything is installed from ubuntu too any other program. I also had my other two HDs plugged in for all the time I tryed to get used to the whole Datastruct thin in linux. I was able to move arround and copy the files from my other HDs (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb2) freely. But all of the sudden I can't even make a new folder in the two HDs. I red a lot about an permission problem but the explanations to solve this are so cryptic for me that I have no idea what to do right now. Edit: I don't wanne sound rude here but yeah I get that Linux isn't windows and has an other way to manage data. But at the moment for me it is a situation where I simply can't access stuff from my HardDrives. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:10 PM PST Im trying to create a read only samba share for my transmission Download server . This is my configuration for smb.conf . The transmission directory is inside the Share directory. I suspect that the issue is with the transmission directory, since It's 'owned' by the transmission daemon. How do I make it so that other users can read the contents? EDIT: I'm able to CD into the directory just fine when SSHing in, but I cant access it over Samba. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:16 AM PST So I'm using Kvantum to set a theme, and have configured qt5ct to use Kvantum. I also added QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct to ~/.profile, but for some reason it's not recognizing it. [link] [comments]  |
| How to force local login to X session from remote shell Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:46 AM PST "Hi, can you unlock my computer?" My 8 year old asks me for the sixth time today. "Sure thing," I respond, switching over to my terminal. It's unlocked by the time she gets back to her room. Unless, for whatever reason, the computer has been turned off. In which case, unlocking all sessions doesn't help me because there are no sessions to unlock. I can have her turn on the computer, that's not a problem. But how can I remotely tell her login manager to go ahead and start a new session for a given user and run it on her display? [link] [comments]  |

| Is it safe to dualboot two Linux distros? Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:38 AM PST I hear a lot that dualbooting with Windows is a mess, because Windows erases Linux partition with it's updates. But dualbooting two distros should be Ok, no? [link] [comments]  |

| Can any one help me with my questons about Freetube? Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:13 AM PST For those of you who who have not heard of it Freetube is an anternative client for Youtube. It allows you to watch videos and keep your own host of subscriptons. I am asking here do to freetube not having an active subbreddit. My main issue is the youtube sub API. I am woundering how many subs can freetube handle. The website tops new accounts at 1000 subs. I used to have over 3k before youtube removed my account. I am wounderiing if any of you know what the max is. [link] [comments]  |
| Use darling without compiling it from source. Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:10 AM PST Hello. I want to try darling for running some MacOS software. But I didn't find any prebuilt .deb files (Debian Sid; amd64), those from the release section fail to compile. Does anyone have an idea, where I can get up-to date .debs, as my computer is already quite old and I don't want to compile such a big project. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| I did the dumb things your not supposed to do with dd :( Posted: 26 Jan 2021 09:55 PM PST So I've been restoring old computers and I was trying to write a FreeDOS image to a floppy disk with one of those USB to floppy drives. I don't even remember doing it and I know the labels of my drives, but apparently I wrote a 1.44 MB floppy image onto my 4Tb hard driver!!! So Stupid. Presumably the vast majority of the data must still be on the hard drive, and it was only half full, but what's the best way to try and recover it? I've looked into TestDisk. I do have a backup but it's from a few months ago, so I might loose a few files, which is why I'd prefer to try and save the 4Tb drive, but it's not the end of the world if I have to restore from backup. If I ever try to do this again, I will do it on an old ThinkPad and not my main desktop I use for work, lesson learned. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 09:33 AM PST Today I was triying to increase or extend the size of my HDDs' root partition using GParted. Meanwhile, I misunderstood the 'Create Partition Table' option and did it on an unallocated space of my hard drive with which I was planning to merge my root partition. But it made my whole hard disk unallocated and I don't know how do I fix this. There were some important documents and photos and I really need those back. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 09:15 AM PST I'm a mathematician and I'm installing GAP on my Ubuntu system. It runs perfectly fine for all users from the terminal when I'm in the proper directory and call ./bin/gap.sh. The install instructions at the website say to add that script to my path to call it from anywhere, but I'm not sure how to do that. In the past when I've used GAP on uni computers it's preinstalled and I can call it from the terminal anywhere by typing "gap." I would also like that to work on my machine for any user. I realize this is probably a simple question, so I'm very glad I found this sub. [link] [comments]  |
| Migrating data from NTFS to BTRFS formatted drive | Required steps & things to look out for Posted: 27 Jan 2021 04:31 AM PST Hello again, Please refer to the following outline for added context to my question;
Layout of my PC's drives
I would like to copy the contents of my Media(D:) --> Media Main. I intend to use Fedora as my daily driver, and keep Windows for Steam only.
What is the best approach for me to execute this task?
After having read through forum posts, articles, and even watching examples of people migrating data from NTFS formatted drives to an ext4 formatted server, I still am not confident on how to proceed.
Having to use tools like Rsync should be okay for me, as I am in no rush, and am making the switch to Linux to learn more after all. That being said, I really don't want to stuff up documents, videos, and images.
Any advice, literature, or tips are greatly appreciated. <3 [link] [comments]  |
