    How to manage files between 2 OS and 2 SSDs?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 07:35 AM PST

    I have windows 10 installed on one of my ssd and newest linux mint on the other. Some time ago I was sorting some files on the windows drive, but through linux. Everything worked fairly well, until I tried deleting the files. Whenever I tried to do this I got a message "can't delete files, those files cannot be deleted" or something along those lines. No error number or name just "can't do it" type of message. When I booted back to windows, all the changes I did with linux stayed, except for the deleted files. There was however a new folder on that drive called "trash-1000" or something along those lines, and it contained all the files I was trying to delete on linux. I deleted it on windows and it worked normally. Also, when I'm on windows, I can't access the linux ssd at all.

    So my questions are: why couldn't I delete the files on windows's drive when accessing it through linux? How can I see the linux drive when using windows?

    Should I disable secure boot!!!

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 02:39 PM PST

    Trying to install debian from a bootable usb device. I get that red text-box not letting me to boot into anything but windows. I heard you should just disable it, but I am getting a pretty ominous message that is giving me cold feet. Should I disable it?

    I thought pop os was pretty turn key with nvidia drivers, what am I missing?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 02:32 PM PST

    I'm very new to linux. Had an old machine that I wanted to play around with using linux. Was testing out a few different distros and am having an issue with pop os I just can't figure out.

    Both ubuntu and mint were pretty straight forward and was able to get then running with recommended drivers pretty easily (with the driver utility or whatever it's called). Then when I tried pop os with the nvidia drivers packed in it's stuck on low resolution and the nvidia server settings screen is blank. Then I tried the normal (amd/Intel) version of pop and it totally seemed to work fine (at least was in 1920x1080, not stuck in low resolution with no option to change... like the nvidia package).

    So then I tried to install the latest drivers manually, (stating with the Intel version) rebooted and bam right back to where I was... Low resolution, black nvidia server settings... I'm at a loss. It seems like the one distro that is supposed to be easy out of box is the one that just won't work.

    I realize I may not be giving enough info, but like I said I'm new and I don't even know what questions to ask, info to provide yet. Just doing my best to follow what instructions find online. Though I'll also note I'm on a relatively old gpu (gtx 590). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.67 (time critical)

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 02:24 PM PST

    I've recently switched to manjaro linux, and upgraded my kernel about a week ago. Since then ive been getting this error:

    https://preview.redd.it/wz2z60l7tqe61.png?width=1255&format=png&auto=webp&s=99060526804e78bfca5d5e8ff6619da82e985a5a

    I have tried querying the package with pacman -Qp and pacman -Q, I have also tried simply reinstalling it. I know there are some people on reddit who have experienced a similar problem, but was unable to follow the advice given to solve the problem. I've also tried looking through my pacman.logs to see if an error was in there but I havent seen anything.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/ManjaroLinux/comments/gmaup4/error_while_loading_shared_libraries/

    I followed this too, specifically the command to update my mirror list. pacman-mirrors says to run pacman -Syyu after refreshing the mirrors and still nothing has changed.

    Im assuming I need to reinstall the library? All in all i am just confused. I need to get this working for school in a week, or else this is going to turn into a major issue. Please reach out to me with any ideas or any other information you would like me to provide.

    Root Home Directory

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 01:57 PM PST

    Hello all,

    I am using Ubuntu for my one college class and I am confused about one of the terminal questions. The question goes, "Change home root directory.... what command did you use?" The reason why I am confused is that I do not know what my instructor is referring to change, or I do not know what file to change it to. I know that /root is the home directory, but should I use something else to change it to? Any ideas?

    (this is a virtual machine I am running ubuntu on, and I am the only user.)

    how to execute a command via ExecStart:

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 01:42 PM PST

    when i run this command:

    ./target/release/polkadot --pruning=archive 

    it starts off this sync. I want to create a systemd config file to configure the service. that way if the computer ever restarts on its own, it can kick off the job.

    sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/geth.service 

    and then i place:

    [Unit] Description=Polkadot Validator After=network.target Wants=network.target [Service] User=polkadot Group=polkadot Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=5 ExecStart=/stakingmachine/polkadot/target/release/polkadot --pruning=archive [Install] WantedBy=default.target 

    When i run the command:

    sudo systemctl start polkadot 

    it runs fine, but when i check the status, i get

    ● polkadot.service - Polkadot Validator Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/polkadot.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2021-01-31 15:23:39 CST; 3s ago Process: 87340 ExecStart=/polkadot/target/release/./polkadot --pruning=archive (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Main PID: 87340 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

    Minecraft-Launcher won't open.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 12:57 PM PST

    Distro: Artix Linux

    Hi all, I recently bought minecraft java edition and installed the minecraft-launcher, I was able to play minecraft. But today I started the launcher and it didn't want to open however running it Did make my CPU % Increase, I checked Htop and found a few processes called minecraft-launcher so i closed them all down and then tried to open the launcher again but still no luck.

    I've already tried the following, in order:

    -pacman -Syu.

    -Simply reboot and try again.

    -To kill all the minecraft-launcher processes in htop and then reboot.

    -kill the processes by "ps aux | grep minecraft-launcher" & "killall" command and then reboot.

    -Installing minecraft-launcher AUR package again.

    -Opening the launcher in the Terminal, gave me the following output:

    "[0131/215512.651594:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(346)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process."

    I figured this is probably where the issue lies, but I would have no idea how to fix it...

    Thanks in advance.

    Colorized string

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 12:57 PM PST

    I have figured out how to get color text output from shell script. I am trying to figure out how to apply it to a string. If I used mkpasswd command I would like to add color to the numbers so they stand out easier to recognize. Not seeing a format option in man page but am guessing it would have to be a separate script that takes mkpasswd output as it's input and then slices the string, checks if character in list of numbers and adds ${RED}. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    If I unplug my HDMI cable while my laptop's lid is closed, video doesn't switch to integrated monitor.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 12:48 PM PST

    Hi. I use my laptop (Manjaro + Gnome) connected to a monitor through an HDMI, lid closed. If I unplug the HDMI with the lid open it's ok, but if I do it with the lid closed, when I open the lid afterwards, my laptop won't output video. It's clear that it's still trying to output video through the HDMI port, because when I plug it back in, it instantly starts outputting to the monitor. This has persisted throughout many reinstalls of the OS, and many different versions of both Manjaro and Gnome.

    Any help in fixing this?

    Assistance with setting up a home web/forum server

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 12:21 PM PST

    As the title says, I'm seeking assistance setting up a small web/forum server at home using Linux; specifically Raspberry Pi/Raspbian. Anyone had any success? I bought the RPi 4 - 8GB version because I know it can handle a small server. Nothing crazy; 100 users max and not all at the same time on the server. I am tech savvy, but admittedly a Linux beginner since I grew up with Windows. Any help/tips is appreciated. Thanks!

    Why use a terminal emulator?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 09:20 PM PST

    I started using Linux a few months back. And I've tried to get used to the terminal by using it anytime I have install something, creating file structures, writing files on nano, etc.

    But I've noticed that many people use a terminal emulator, like Terminator or Alacritty as opposed to the stock terminal that comes pre-installed. What would you need something like another terminal when you already have the stock terminal? Does it do anything special or different?

    What to expect: Windows -> Linux

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:12 AM PST

    Hi there. I'm looking to join the Linux family. I'm hoping to get some real world stories about the switch.

    • How easy was the the transition?
    • Is there anything you found you cant do on Linux? Any programs that wont run properly?

    I'm looking to use a Linux machine as my desktop for internet browsing and streaming video - I don't use any specialty software.

    I appreciate any input :)

    Mirror my Linux Laptop onto my Server

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 05:40 AM PST

    Hi,

    I would like it if I could completely mirror my laptop onto my server and vice versa.

    Is rsync enough? And then if I add a program to one, just add it to the other?

    What directories would I have to rsync?

    Thank you for all of your help!

    Need a Lightweight Desktop Environment

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 05:38 AM PST

    Im running an old pc, and want a Desktop Environment that ,ideally, uses less RAM and processing power. Im new to the world of DEs, and need help with this. It need not be the most customizable (though I do like customization).

    Recommendations for my needs ?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Edit: I realise the need to clarify why I simply did not google this question - I got mixed responses from different sites - some said XFCE, others said KDE and very few said MATE. Plus none of them would give me an idea of a good customizability : lightweight ratio

    Edit 2: Seems like Im going with LXDE. Thank you all for your input, it really helped :)

    I need to use wine for one program. A program for my programmable keyboard. Need help, please.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 09:00 AM PST

    Hey everyone. I need to use wine to be able to setup and edit settings for my programmable keyboard. I was able to get the program execute using playonlinux but it wont actually detect my keyboard. Knowing little to nothing about wine I was wondering if I might get some guidance. I would like to nuke my windows drive, hopefully i don't have to keep windows around for this one program.

    Anyway, here is the keyboard https://www.amazon.com/Koolertron-Single-Handed-Programmable-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B076LRJ528?ref_=ast_sto_dp

    here is a link to the program, its free. http://amazonfiles.s3.amazonaws.com/smkd72.rar

    When playonlinux asks, I choose windows 64bit.

    The way it should work is that you launch the program, hold down a key on the keyboard and plug the keyboard into your PC, program then detects the keyboard. The problem is the program launches but no keyboard detection.

    Thanks in advance.

    Will there a problem is the shared partition of Windows and Ubuntu is NTFS?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 02:43 AM PST

    Edit 2: Thank you all so much it worked!!!

    Here's a link to my manual partitioning Imgur Just want to confirm I did it right before I continue 😅

    The 1TB HDD is divided int1o 3 partitions intially from the manufacturer

    Leaving 930GB HDD of use I then partitioned that into a 100GB root folder 8GB swap and used the remaining 830GB for /home to have a shared folder

    Reason It is still NTFS and not FAT32 is that FAT32 can't store more than 4GB a file.

    Will this partitioning work? And will there be a problem if the /home partition is NTFS?

    Edit: Then how about: 50GB for root. 8GB for swap. 470GB ext4 for /home. 400GB for Windows. ???
