    Add Windows 10 to grub

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 12:30 PM PST

    I dual booted Arch and I want W10 to show up in the GRUB menu at start. I came across this solution

    $ mkdir -p /mnt/windows $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg 

    However, I'm not sure if I have to mount sda1 or what partition exactly because my partitions look like this:

    $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 476.9G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 100M 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 16M 0 part ├─sda3 8:3 0 242G 0 part ├─sda4 8:4 0 1G 0 part ├─sda5 8:5 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda6 8:6 0 4G 0 part [SWAP] └─sda7 8:7 0 229.3G 0 part / 

    sda1, sda2 and sda3 are all belong to Windows (as far as I know) but I don't know if I have to mount sda3, which, being 242G, is where all my W10 is being stored, or sda1, which I assume is the W10 bootloader (?), or whatever in hell sda2 is for

    any ideas in which one should I mount?

    Question from an interested Windows user.

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 06:29 PM PST

    So Ive seen a lot of things on Linux for a long time, and Ive kinda wanted to try it out because it feels different, I just have one problem.

    I dont mind Windows 10 at all, and Im already elbow deep in the OS.

    Its never given me headaches, my PC doesnt restart at random times, and I install a program and it works.

    Now looking through different tutorials, my main issue is always compatibility.

    The games I want to play or the software I want to use isnt always going to run.

    And I understand there are things like Proton and Wine to hopefully get around these issues at times, but that doesnt completely solve the issue for me.

    So I guess my main question here is, why else would I want to use Linux? Are there other benefits to using Linux as apposed to Windows that would justify going through what looks to be a pretty big headache just to get myself settled down?

    It just seems that people's main complaints or reasons for using it, are issues I dont really have with Windows as an OS.

    Thanks all, looking forward to learning more about this

    How to Dump your Timeshift Backup to create a bootable USB Jumpdrive with persistence.

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 11:13 AM PST

    Take you Linux install with you to use on other PC's.

    Before you do your backup with Timeshift :

    - Run the Wizard and pick a Hard drive to store your backup. - When you get to the <User Home Directories screen> - Select <Include All> in each entry. 

    After you backup is done :

    - Plug in your jump drive - Start the Disks App. (be careful when in this App.) - Click on the left pane and make sure the Jumpdrive is highlighted. - Delete all partitions on the jump drive (this will wipe the jumpdrive.) - Format the jumpdrive to ext4. (name the partion to anything you want.) - Close the Disks App. - Start up Timeshift and select the backup that you just created by clicking on it.. - Then click on Restore. - <Select Target Device screen> Path Device ============================= / Make sure you select your usb jump drive /boot Keep on Root Device /home Keep on Root Device - click on Bootloader Options (Advanced) <button> - make sure all options are selected - also confirm your jumpdrive is selcted (right below (Re)install GRUB2 on) - click the Close <button> - finish your restore. 

    !!! NOTE : - This tutorial is for using <Legacy Boot> and Not UEFI BOOT. - Also, The Linux OS that was backed up is using a single partion.

    Discord has been disconnecting for me for the past few months on Linux. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 02:29 PM PST

    (posted this on r/discordapp already [link to the original post], but didn't get an answer that worked):

    I have the latest version of Discord on Linux (Pop!_OS 20.10) and I keep randomly getting disconnected from calls. I know it's not an issue with my WiFi, as it does not cut out like this in any other program. Also, this never happens on Android or Windows for me. Does anyone have any tips to fix this issue?

    I already submitted a support ticket a while ago and they gave me the public test build which still produced the same issue.

    I've tried these methods for installing Discord (uninstalling the previous version before installing the next):

    1. using the Web version with "discord.com/app" ...still disconnects on both Chrome and Firefox. This one surprised me, as I thought the Web version would be the most stable.
    2. using the .deb installer from the Pop Shop.
    3. using the .deb installer from the official website (pretty sure this is the same "discord-0.0.13.deb" package that was in the Pop Shop).
    4. using the tar.gz installer from the official website, creating a folder called "Discord" in my home directory, and launching it in a terminal with "./Discord"

    I'm honestly so frustrated with this and would love if anyone could help. I know that I stated above that it's not my WiFi but it might be now that I think about it. I have a Netgear A6100 adapter that I used some terminal magic to get it to work properly. This may screw with Discord's connection protocols or something. This could be another path to go down since switching Discord versions doesn't seem to work.

    Edit: forgot to mention my hardware. Oops:

    CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K

    GPU: GTX 960 2GB

    Mobo: Gigabyte F2a88xm-d3h

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3

    SSD (for OS install): Samsung 850 Evo 250GB

    HDD (for games): WD Blue 1TB

    Network adapter: Netgear A6100 USB (connected to 5GHz WiFi)

    Monitors connected to a Dock are not found

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 01:40 PM PST

    I have a Dell WD15 dock and an HP Envy 13 running Linux KDE, and I cant get the 2 DisplayPort monitors to work. I've found the following error in dgmesg when I connect the monitors to the dock:

    [drm:drm_dp_send_link_address [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR* Sending linkaddress failed with -5 

    And I see the following in xrandr:

    DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 

    My wife has the same laptop running Windows 10 and it works fine, and my work laptop (a Dell) runs Ubuntu and also works fine, so I'm at a loss as to why my personal laptop doesn't.

    I just installed Pop_OS 20.10 and I'm wondering why is it the only beginner-friendly distro that I've tried so far that doesn't have any taskbars/docks by default

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 01:07 PM PST

    It seems so odd. Am I supposed to learn how to navigate without using a taskbar/dock? Perhaps using the workspaces? And what's up with applications having only a close button? Why is the tiling behavior installed by default but nothing from the things I mentioned, stuff that exist in both Mint and Ubuntu?

    How to get audio to work?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 12:47 PM PST

    Hi, just installed Gentoo for the first time got to the desktop environment and got no sound.

    Emerged pulseaudio and rebooted, and then I have just emerged pavucontrol in order to see what's going on, and it says "Establishing connection to Pulseaudio please wait".

    Maybe is it rather a kernel config option?

    lspci | grep Audio

    00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH HD Audio

    01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation TU116 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

    System freezes when switching HDMI on my monitor, but not when turning it off an on again

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 12:28 PM PST

    Hello everyone,

    not a real noob here, as I use Linux since 2014 or so. Nevertheless I need help.

    As you read in the title, my system freezes when one thing happens and that is losing the HDMI connection to my monitor, either by hibernation or switching the HDMI 1 input on my monitor back and forth on the same channel, as I use a HDMI switch on HDMI 1 and HDMI 2. Somehow not when simply turning my monitor off and on and not when switching on my monitor from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and back. My monitor is recognized correctly by the system as a BenQ 28". It is the EL2870U. It has 2x HDMI and 1x DP. I use both HDMI ports, the DP port is not used. On HDMI 1 are, behind a switch, my Larkbox Pro and a Chromecast Ultra. On HDMI 2 are several consoles behind a switch. No other system has any problems when switching the HDMI port while usage / output. They all regain their normal output whatever I do.

    Since this machine comes with Windows 10 pre-installed on the internal 128 gb EMMC, it is a dual boot system. But before someone says that this is the problem: before I added the SSD and installed Manjaro on it, I used Windows some days and the same problems occured there.

    So this is basically my system:

    [20:49:02] > inxi -b System: Host: larkboxpro Kernel: 5.10.7-3-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0 Distro: Manjaro Linux Machine: Type: Desktop System: CHUWI Innovation And (ShenZhen) product: LarkBox Pro v: N/A serial: <superuser required> Mobo: N/A model: N/A serial: <superuser required> UEFI: American Megatrends v: GB01_ZW_1_05 date: 09/17/2020 CPU: Info: Quad Core Intel Celeron J4125 [MCP] speed: 799 MHz min/max: 800/2700 MHz Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 605 driver: i915 v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.10 driver: loaded: intel unloaded: modesetting resolution: 3840x2160~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 600 (GLK 2) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.3.3 Network: Device-1: Intel driver: iwlwifi Drives: Local Storage: total: 593.94 GiB used: 45.43 GiB (7.6%) Info: Processes: 209 Uptime: 8m Memory: 5.63 GiB used: 2.35 GiB (41.8%) Shell: fish inxi: 3.2.02 

    When this freeze happens, my monitor simply shows a black screen (background lit). Then no input is accepted anymore. I tried every more or less known way to regain access to the system and nothing works. Like

    ctrl + alt + f2 , ctrl + alt + f7 

    or

    alt + sysrq + r,e,i,s,u,b 

    after making sure it's active in my system. And it is, 'cause I tried it when the system responded normally and the commands worked just fine.

    My power button on the Larkbox Pro is configured so that when I press it, the system shuts down. Which works when the system runs normal and is responsive.

    When the system freezes, this button does not respond in the configured way. I have to brute force a shutdown by holding the power button several seconds.

    I looked for a lot of thing on the internet and tried one thing that sounded reasonable: changing the order of my HOOKS in my mkinitcpio a little, so that resume comes earlier. It changed nothing for my.

    It's hard to search for something that specific if you don't have a clue where the problem lies.

    I know it must be solvable, but I really really need help to get at least an idea what to try or where to look.

    By now I suggest it has something to do with X, mesa, the compositor or somehow my monitor (EDID or what it is called). Or it might be something in the UEFI / BIOS.

    If any further information is needed, I will provide it.

    I appreciate any idea that might just lead me into the right direction.

    EDIT: I looked up common issues with my compositor xfwm4 but none of those solutions helped with my problem.

    Dual booting Mint/Windows on two different drivers

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 12:12 PM PST

    EDIT: Typo on the title. "Drives" not "Drivers".

    Hey everyone,

    My current computer is a basic Acer laptop with a 120GB SSD that I use for Windows and programs + a 1TB HDD for files, but I've been thinking about dual booting Mint alongside Windows to test it out as a primary OS.

    The thing is, my SSD is full of programs that I use on Windows and can't delete it (work/school), and buying a bigger SSD is not something I can do right now, so I'm thinking about creating a 80-120 GB partition for Mint on my HDD.

    How do I go about creating said partition on my HDD to run Mint alongside Windows 10? Is it even possible to have multiple systems on different drives?

    Any help is greatly appreciated :D

    Shell script: taking user input and applying it to a command line parameter

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 12:11 PM PST

    Hello all. Linux Mint user here with a shell scripting question.

    I am trying to write a Bash shell script that:

    1. Displays the current time
    2. Asks if you want to see the time X number of hours in the future
    3. Displays that time X number of hours in the future

    What is not working is applying the user supplied time offset. The shell command I am using is:

    date +'%I:%M:%S %p' -d '+1 hour'

    It is that 1 in +1 hour I am trying to change with user supplied input. My code:

    #!/bin/bash

    #

    thetime=`date +"%I:%M:%S %p"`

    #

    echo "enter a time offset"

    read offset

    #

    echo "the current time is:" $thetime

    echo "the time with " $offset "hours added is:"

    date +'%I:%M:%S %p' -d '+$offset hour'

    Does anyone know how I can apply the $offset value to adjust the time display?

    Thank you!

    Problem with kern.log growing over and over

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 11:44 AM PST

    Hi all, I'm a student, and because I had a pc problem, my college lent me a computer so I could take my classes. To save money, these computers are under linux Ubuntu 18.04.

    The problem is that I don't know anything about linux at all, and I have no base in code / language, and an important problem arises on the device: The computer has a single 100gb SSd, I only installed bleachbit, zoom, and a few libreoffice files. I very quickly had alerts of full hard drive, to the extreme. After searching, it turns out that it is the kern.log file (in var / log) which is currently 84 gigabytes. I would like to delete it, but it is not possible, or find a way to reduce it. It is filling up at an incredible rate.

    I thought I saw on the internet that it was necessary to limit its size, or increase the frequency of rotation (with logrotate or whatever), but I very misunderstood and I did nothing for fear of doing nothing. whatever.

    Could you tell me if you have a possible solution? (knowing that I remember it, I don't know anything about linux at all) Thanks in advance, you would save me! And sorry for bad english

    Vultr VPS Kernel Panic

    Posted: 23 Jan 2021 05:14 AM PST

    Simple question and noob here, where do I get a copy of /sbin/init? Vultr VPSes don't give control of most things, so all I can do is upload a custom ISO. What else do I need to do then?

    Sorry for the stupid question, I'm decent at using Linux but not repairing boot problems. I'm extremely sleepy too, so I can't think well. I'd appreciate if you could give me some hints. Thanks in advance!
