| I have a frustrating situation Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:32 AM PST I'm maintaining my grandpa's laptop, it's a Dell Inspiron E1505 64-bit, which came preinstalled with Windows XP, and it has 2GB RAM. In 2015, the laptop was hit with a virus, so I installed Xubuntu 14.04 on it, and have been maintaining his laptop for him ever since, every 3 years I'd do a fresh install of Xubuntu, and just recently, I upgraded him to Xubuntu 20.04. Here's my problem, I'm going overseas for my job and I might not be back to my country by the time the next LTS upgrade, so I won't be able to maintain my grandpa's laptop like I did before. None of my family members and friends are tech-savvy enough to install Linux, so I can't count on them to maintain his laptop, and the computer repair in my area aren't familiar with Linux, only Windows. Installing Windows 10 wouldn't be ideal for 2GB RAM laptop and besides, my grandpa prefers Xubuntu over Windows. Since I won't be around to upgrade him to the latest LTS version, can my grandpa continue to use his laptop with Xubuntu despite the EOL? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:49 AM PST Hi everybody, I'm using Manjaro for a couple of years now ans I was using AUR every time.. I mean if I want to install something and if it's not in Manjaro or Arch repositories I'm 100% sure I'll find it in AUR and install it without doing anything complicated.. It just works! However, I just have a question.. When almost every software I'm using has no impact, I wanted to install KeeWeb. It's a front-end to KeePass.. It is indeed present in AUR, but I asked myslef the following.. Is it possible that at one time or antoher the AUR package get compromised (on purpose or not), I cetrtainly don't want to use a compromised version of such an important software. I know that it's possible to check what exactly the AUR package is doing but I might not understand everything. For that particular use-case I checked in the KeeWeb github https://github.com/keeweb/keeweb/releases/tag/v1.16.7 and they have plenty of binaries so I prefer to use one from here. But the question I have now, is which one is preferable to install on an Arch based system? I don't know if there's one that is a binary that has no dependencies (maybe it will be easier to install but I guess that in this case I will need to check and update the app myself.. I don't have any experience with Snap or AppImage, but isn't those packages could track of the source and update themselves? Anyway, thank you very much for any advises.. [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a specific Linux OS for my needs? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 08:48 PM PST Hi, I'm a lifetime windows user. I've been getting tired of Windows having bloatware and other things installed on my system when I update it, therefore, I wish to switch to Linux. However, I want some specifics:

| What is better overall,Wayland or xorg? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 02:37 AM PST I didn't thought about that until I found out that x11 is so old,that Half-Life 3 will came out before x12. I never used Wayland,so can someone say all the differences between them? I have some questions:

| Is there a way to find and edit environment paths? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:08 AM PST I'm rather a linux noob. I'm also trying to learn docker too. I'm using a RPi. When i try something for the first time, i tend to just copy the example exactly. Once i get it working as shown in the example, i then experiment and actually learn it. I do it this way to ensure i have everything set up correctly so when something doesn't work, i know it's an implementation issue or a installation issue. Anyway: I blindly followed Docker's documentation forgetting that some times things are different on the RPi because of the Arm processor. So i blindly used the following command to install docker-compose: Once i realized this just created an empty file because Docker doesn't directly support Arm and we need to go through the package manager, i installed docker-compose using the following command: It appeared to install correctly with what was shown in the terminal. I've reboot the Pi, so i can't quote what was shown. When i try: I get the following: Which is pointing to the unsuccessful attempt to install docker-compose when i blindly followed the documentation. How do i look at the existing environmental paths? And how do i change them? In Windows i would just go Control Panel > System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.. > Path > Edit I can then see and edit all environment paths. Is there something similar in Linux? I think the following lists all existing paths set? I suppose the supplementary question is, where might docker-compose be installed using the apt-get command? When i use the following commands, i get a list of directories and files. Is this all of the files and directories associated with the docker-compose package?: [link] [comments]  |
| installing wifi driver on kubuntu without ethernet Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:06 AM PST hi. ive been trying to install a driver for my wireless adapter on my Linux install without a ethernet connection. i have both all the dependencies needed to install dkms, and the driver. the issue is, every time i install all the debian packages with dpkg -i *.deb, it bricks my system because some c compiler named GPLO or something gets overwritten and fucks everything up. ive tried removing it but it seems the problem exists with more than that package. i wanna know if im even doing it right, and if i am, how to install the packages while skipping already installed packages to prevent bricking my system. as far as i know dpkg has no way of doing this, and i may have to manually sift through the packages and install every one of them [link] [comments]  |

| Xfce - Power manager doesn't respect settings Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:17 AM PST Hello! I set the power manager so when I close my laptop's lid the screen turns off and the computer never locks or suspends when it's idle. It doesn't work tho, and the laptop still locks after some time and closing the lid causes log out / suspend. How can I fix it? I tried setting it to HandleLidSwitch=ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf , no luck tho [link] [comments]  |

| How to restore xfce from cinnamon? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:33 AM PST So I changed from xfce to cinnamon using the —replace command in the cli and since then xfce has been left broken. I can't close or move most programs as a result of the windows manager disappearing, normal startup. I also have major issues with the keyboard layout being automatically set to dvorak every startup but I don't think this is related. Is there anything I can do or should I just jump ship?

| Not as Easy as I thought: Multiple distros using one Steam library. Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:30 AM PST Hey folks, Linux noob here again and a little despondent...:( I started an earlier thread about having the possibility of STEAM on multiple linux distros being able to share one steam library between them. I know with Windows you can point it to old installs on different physical drives. I heard Linux could do the same thing so I tried it out. Well it didn't work; I received the 'Download library folder must be empty error'. Did some interweb searching and fixes ranged from creating an empty directory and copying files to that (defeating the purpose) to folder renames and using symbolic links to avoid other install's getting screwed up (which I'm no sure about, being linux noob you know). I know the drives are mounted but maybe I'm missing something about those mountings? Any advice would be apprecaited. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments]  |

| Audio Help - Crackling and Fluctuating Volume Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:04 PM PST Hey everyone, I recently installed Kubuntu on my desktop. I'm running the 20.04 LTS release, on an i5-10600k and asrock z490m itx motherboard, which uses a Realtek alc1200 audio chip. I've been having lots of issues with audio. When I watch a YouTube video the ad plays normally, with no crackling and the proper volume, but after the ad the video becomes very quiet and then starts fading in and out. If I turn the volume up the headphones start to output crackling and static. I've tried this with multiple videos, so I know it was not just poor recording. I've tried quite a few of the solutions I've read about so far and have listed them. - Tried different combinations in alsamixer - Tested with loopback and auto-mute disabled and enabled, and all possible combinations - tried to stop pulseaudio using pulseaudio -k - removed and reinstalled the alsa drivers - reloaded the alsa drivers - changed the power save setting from 1 to 0 - changed the default sample rate - changed the sampling method - reassigned and check all audio jacks - checked the sound device in use - changed the time scheduling properties So far nothing has made any difference, I have a theory that this board may have extra complications with audio, as it also uses nahimic audio. Does anyone have any other suggestions for how I can fix this? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:13 AM PST Hey! I've been having a recurrent problem with my Dell Inspiron 15 7567 laptop with Windows and Pop!_OS installed for a few months now. Specs i7-7700HQ 1050ti Mobile 16GB RAM DDR4 Kingston SA2000 / A2000 512GB NVME 1TB HDD The problem is that the desktop randomly freezes, usually doing dtuff like installing apps from the appcenter, or doing vector work on inkscape or simply extracting files from a .zip file. It doesn't really happen under heavy load while playing games. On Windows, whenever I play games, my CPU's clock speed goes from the turbo boost of 3.4 Ghz to as low as 0.45Ghz. It seems to me like a cooling problem since the fans haven't been working like they used to before (it has had the heatskink, fan and grill parts repñaced). But I have also heard that the specific Kingston A2000 NVME SSD is having many problems with Linux, especially Manjaro. Pop! and Ubuntu. I'm reallly confused over here. I really don't care about Windows since I could do most of my work in Linux but this unreliability has me sticking to windows for now without being able to play games or render in Blender. So the question: Can the SSD cause desktop freezes, could it also be overheating that causes X Server to become unresponsive? [link] [comments]  |
| Synaptic touchpad two finger scroll too sensitive Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:11 AM PST I have an old HP Pavilion G7 that I'm trying to install Linux on but the touchpad two finger scroll sensitivity is too fast. I've tried the following distros: Linux Mint XFCE 20.1, Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.1, Lubuntu 20.10, Kubuntu 20.10, Elementary OS 5.1, Manjaro XFCE 20.2, Manjaro KDE 20.2 It's better on Cinnamon and Elementary BUT there's still some scrolling issues and they're both a little too ram intensive for only having 4gb ram. I've tried xf86-input-synaptics and libinput. One time I got it working on Manjaro XFCE but it didn't stick after reboot and when I tried it a second time it didn't work. I'm assuming because it's an older touchpad and it's a synaptic touchpad that libinput will not work. I'm not quite sure what to try next. [link] [comments]  |

| Having trouble booting into Manjaro after install Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:29 AM PST So I have had some experience installing Linux distros before including Manjaro. Almost all these times have been on the same drive as windows just on a different partition. Right now my current drive setup is a 250GB SSD with Windows 10, a 2TB HDD NTFS storage drive and a crappy little 40GB old laptop HDD which is what I'm trying to install Manjaro onto. I have an M.2 SSD on the way which is what I will be installing it onto but for now just to mess around a bit I want to install on this HDD. When I install Manjaro though it seems as if GRUB just doesn't install at all. Windows 10 boots with windows boot manager but nothing in my boot devices show up to boot GRUB or Manjaro from that HDD. I have completely disabled any legacy booting, fast booting, secure booting etc. All my drives are using GPT including the USB I'm installing from. I've tried just doing a clean / erase install on the drive and also custom partitioning which I usually set up as having a 512MiB FAT32 partition mounted to /boot/efi flagged as boot (Since later Manjaro installers removed esp and have legacy-boot instead and simply boot for efi booting). A 4GB swap flagged as swap and the rest just ext4 mounted at / and flagged as root. The install completes without issue but I just can't boot into the grub boot loader as the option to do so simply isn't available. I'm beginning to hope maybe the HDD is just too old and shit so things just won't install properly on it. I might be doing something wrong with the partitioning as since previous installs had been on the same drive as Windows it automatically detected that and set up GRUB to also boot windows but I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I even tried the grub-bios flag but from the little amount I researched that's only used if you're utilizing UEFI boot with an MBR partition table. Any help would be great, thanks.

| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:25 AM PST Hello everyone, I recently bought a brand new Asus Zenbok UN3481 that came without Windows, which was perfectly fine for me since I had switched to Ubuntu on my desktop PC a few weeks prior as well. Now, I thought after a bit of tinkering around everything was working fine. Pretty quickly though I started to have trouble with my trackpad sometimes skipping around and being unresponsive. The problem is, I'm unsure whether that issue is hardware-related or a Linux-specific issue. I've tried finding solutions for a few hours but nothing seemed to get me anywhere since it kept happening. My question is less about the specific problem and more about where I would go looking for ressources that help me with figuring out what exactly the problem is and how to fix it, since I'd like to at least learn as much as I can while dealing with stuff like this. (Of course, if you happen to know anything interesting on my particular issue I'd appreciate advice on that as well). Thank you in advance [link] [comments]  |
