    Chrome OS + Ubuntu dual boot from USB has met a slight obstruction. Pls help...

    Posted:

    I was following the instructions of the video below,

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vFfU0jTjb8

    and everything was, for the most part, going swimmingly. The point where things came to a bit of a halt would be right at the point where I was supposed to locate the USB and set the partitions or something (about 6:05 in the vid). It is mentioned that I won´t want to install Linux on an mmc file as that would simply be on my hard-drive (which I don´t want), but for some reason, the file that I think is my flash drive, /dev/mmcblk0p1, is an mmc file, and it isn´t even shown as a separate device, too... Did I do something wrong?

    Mainline kernel + nvidia drivers?

    Posted:

    I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to a Ryzen 5600X soon. From some research, it sounds like kernel 5.10 or newer is required to get full support for these processors including temperature sensors and such. I'm using Kubuntu 20.04 currently (though I should probably upgrade to 20.10 soon), a GTX 1060 and the 460.39 Nvidia driver. I've discovered the Ubuntu mainline PPA which has the newer kernels, but warn that you can encounter issues with proprietary drivers and DKMS modules such as with Nvidia.

    So, with all that said, can anyone tell me if it's possible to install a mainline kernel and have working nvidia drivers on Ubuntu? If so, does anyone know of a how-to guide I could follow?

    Edit: Solved! Just going to wait a few weeks for 21.04.

    BIOS update.

    Posted:

    Struggling with updating the bios on my Dell Optiplex 755. Had Lubuntu running on it without any problems. Need to update bios to upgrade hardware on this machine. FreeDOS attempt was not successful and left my HDD blank, removing Lubuntu. Am I using the wrong method? Very new to Linux and I've found very little information on the union of Linux and this ancient hardware

    Audio Issue

    Posted:

    Hello! I'm using Artix Linux. Earlier today everything was working fine, but now I can't hear anything. When I ran pulseaudio I got this:

    "E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed."

    I searched it up and tried every fix suggested in the top results. I tried restarting Pulseaudio, I tried deleting the config files and restarting my computer, I tried reinstalling Pulse, I made sure I didn't mute my audio. Whenever I try to play a youtube video I hear a popping noise in my headset (I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett). Anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Thoughts on MacOS

    Posted:

    I'm a huge Linux fan, but I recently got a Mac Mini and I've been enjoying that as well. Obviously the general beliefs that Linux is better, but I'm just curious as to some of the reasons why. Linux is more customizable, and if something doesn't work on Linux you could write your own driver. Also Linux isn't corporate owned so there's no one selling your info.

    Discord crashing when connecting of streaming

    Posted:

    Hello,

    I have a problem with Discord on my system. Every time I want to connect to Discord room, my Discord freezes for a split second and then crashes. When I open it again, I can connect to that room, but if I then want to connect to other room, Discord crashes again, and after opening again works for one more "move".

    This does not occur when I am alone on the server.

    Also, not only connecting, but also moving from room to room, starting stream or opening up someone else's stream has the same effect. Crash, manually open again and all good for one move.

    I have tried both Lightcord and Discord, both with the same issue.

    I'm using Arch Linux kernel 5.11., will provide more info if necessary.

    Thank you!

    Want to upgrade RAM on my laptop, need some help!

    Posted:

    Hey folks, I hope this is not the wrong place to ask this question, but I am pretty caught up with which RAMs I should order from amazon for my laptop, My motto is to upgrade from 4gigs to 16 gigs.

    Some details:

    I currently have 4 gigs in one of the memory slots, the other slot is empty(I am not quite sure if it's even in a working condition or not, can I figure that out through the terminal?) output of some relevant commands is as follows:

    $ free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.8Gi 2.1Gi 187Mi 451Mi 1.5Gi 1.0Gi Swap: 15Gi 568Mi 14Gi 

    The processor I am using is i5-2450M according to the following command, so I just realized the seller made a good deal for himself selling me a pretty old generation, that b*tch! well! I bought it in 2014!!

    $ more /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 42 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz stepping : 7 microcode : 0x2f cpu MHz : 804.225 cache size : 3072 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm cons tant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc cpuid aperfmp erf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid ss --More--(0%) [1]+ Stopped more /proc/cpuinfo 

    something about the memory slots

    information about the expandable memory

    $ sudo dmidecode -t 16 # dmidecode 3.2 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 2.6 present. Handle 0x0014, DMI type 16, 15 bytes Physical Memory Array Location: System Board Or Motherboard Use: System Memory Error Correction Type: None Maximum Capacity: 16 GB Error Information Handle: Not Provided Number Of Devices: 2 

    So, for the last one year, I have been coding regularly and got into data analytics and some AWS related work through Upwork for which I use many tabs on my browser and vs code simultaneously, so laptop is slowing down and freezing quite a bit, after some research I found out that it could as well be because of the less amount of space available on the root folder or something(found from disk usage analyzer and there's only 2 GB of space left it in pretty much out of 20GB). I will be changing that to 50/60GB in a week, but I am also planning to upgrade the RAM to 16/32gigs.

    My questions:

    1. Based on the outputs above, is my extra RAM slot working?
    2. Is the maximum capacity of each slot 8gigs or 16 gigs?
    3. Can I buy a DDR4 RAM while upgrading or are my RAM slots restricted to DDR3? Will DDR4 make a difference?
    4. Is it worth upgrading to 16 gigs on a i5 - 2nd generation? (I believe that's an obvious yes, but..)
    5. Is it a good idea to upgrade the RAM to 16 gigs(about 150 Euro tops) or buy a new laptop with 32 gigs - i5 10th gen(pretty much costs 950 Euro) ?

    Foot notes: I mostly plan to code on the cloud servers(AWS - freetier and push it to git right after each session) - but I still do that via a plugin on VS code, that way it's easy for me to code on the remote server actually, so it's important for me to be able to work on multiple stuff simultaneously(like I mentioned, VS code, firefox with upto 6 tabs, a couple of csv's, opening files and navigating through folders!). Thank you very much for taking the time to read!

    Rsync help...

    Posted:

    I've never used rsync so I'm not sure what it's limitations are but I'm hoping I can share my scenario and someone can help me.

    On a remote Linux device there is software that creates a new folder each time it runs. It looks something like

    /path/Home/Auto_xyz_123

    Where Auto_xyz_123 is the new folder it created.

    Within that folder I need a couple of specific files, I know how to get these I think.

    My question is - can I configure rsync to create a folder with the same name, and copy over just the two files I need from it?

    I used "rsync -rv remote/Home/Auto_*/*.fileType /fileTest" which copied over some of the files I needed to fileTest, but I need it to create the Auto_* folder as well.

    Possible to get live output from any command?

    Posted:

    Hi

    Is it possible to get a live output from something like df -h kinda the same way as if you tail a log? There are probably other ways to get a live view of the file system but the df command was just an example.

    Would be handy with for example something like docker service ps where you could follow a service to see when it's ready.

    Yum history question

    Posted:

    Hi Everyone! I am investigating a package (selinux-policy-target) and trying to find who updated it. I checked in yum history info selinux-policy-target and noticed that "System <Unset" is the user who updated this.

    This server is running RHEL 7.7 and is hosted in Azure. Can someone suggest on what to do next? I dont want the system to automatically update this (I dont see any yum-cron service). Anyone who has an idea to check and resolve this? Thanks.

    Building my first home server with a Raspberry Pi 4 /4

    Posted:

    Hey there. I am absolutely new to this and I have to learn everything from scratch. I've already made my research about most of the stuff I need but there are other things I can't understand because I don't know what to look for, or because there are several options I have to choose from and I have no idea which one's the best.

    So I bought a Rpi4 (4Go) in order to build my home server.

    Along with that, I bought 2 x 5To usb hard drives, 1 x 256Go and 1x 32Go flash drives along with a 32Go micro SD.

    It will mostly be hosting Nextcloud for my calendar, contacts and phone backup.

    It will also host my website, and more importantly, I'm willing to backup all my work (large photos, large videos and large audio files).

    I want to use the 32Go micro SD for the system.

    The 32Go flash drive to backup the system.

    The 256Go flash drive for content I want to stream such as movies and mostly music. Also for phone backup.

    One 5To usb drive for backup one.

    One 5To usb drive for backup two.

    So, I work on a specific drive on my PC that I backup to one external drive AND to one internal drive. I use Create Synchronicity for this purpose.

    Being paranoid (maybe) but mostly cautious (I just can't afford to loose my work, like anybody I guess) I'd want to backup and automate said backup to my external HDs plugged to the Rpi.

    Routine would look like this:

    Work HD > internal backup drive > external backup drive > 5To drive 1 (on the Rpi) > 5To drive 2 (on the Rpi)

    It is important to note that I need to empty my work HD from time to time and I don't want the process to mirror that behavior on my backup, of course.

    I'd also want to schedule auto backup of the system from the micro SD to the 32Go flash drive plugged in The Pi (like an image I could restore from using Pi imager).

    What would be the tools and methods to achieve this ?

    Logitech K380 keyboard won't connect to my ThinkPad T14 on Linux Mint Cinnamon

    Posted:

    I just bought a Logitech K380 bluethooth Keyboard, and while trying to connect it accepts the passcode and pairs, but it says disconnected. I tried booting into Windows 10 on the same system and connecting it and it works fine, so I know it isn't my computer. I also tried connecting it to my ThinkPad X1 Nano also running Linux Mint Cinnamon and it works fine. Any ideas as to what's going on? I've rebooted the computer several times and still doesn't stay connected. I tried turning off the keyboard and back on again, but it says disconnected

    Edit: I have a Logitech MX Keys keyboard which pairs with it no problem. Just seems to be this particular keyboard.

    Solved: I solved it by following step 2 on this website I'm not sure why I had to do this on my ThinkPad T14 and not my ThinkPad X1 Nano, which are both running Mint, but I think I'm running a newer kernel on my T14 so maybe that is why.

    Searching Lightweight Linux System

    Posted:

    Hi there,

    I am often sorting out my sisters laptop as it never has enough space to download the latest Windows 10 Update, we think their laptop is an Acer N16W2 and the system info is:

    x64 based PC

    Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU n3350 @ 1.10GHz, 101Mhz, 2 Cores, 2 Logical Processors

    RAM: 4GB

    Total Virtual Memory: 5.83GB

    Total Laptop Space: 28GB (cry)

    It's Also touchscreen

    (I'm not 100% smart in this area, but there are some specs) However, they also need to run and has been previously able to run Photoshop, Chrome, Discord. They would also like it to be similar to windows like a good taskbar??? (thats what they said) I've never done something like this, so a video totorial would be needed.

    Many many thanks

    EDIT:

    They said that they'd rather have the taskbar at the bottom and thats about it

    District suggestions for programmers?

    Posted:

    I'm coming from a MacOS background so pls pls pls excuse me if I say I want something aesthetic 😅. I'm mainly going to be using vscode (maybe get back into GUI Vim at some point) and whatever terminal software is popular. I want something that highlights keyboard shortcuts and minimalistic/uncluttered design.

    I think GNOME 40 is cute. What other suggestions do you have? I'm not familiar with customizing OS components or anything yet so maybe something simple first?

    STUCK IN INSTRUCTIONS: Reading the battery level of my bluetooth TWS using bluetooth-battery 1.2.0 PIP module

    Posted:

    So I was trying to find a way to read the battery level on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Zorin OS 15.2), and came across this github repo

    At one stage in the instructions it says:

    https://preview.redd.it/c1rwkx13jdq61.png?width=849&format=png&auto=webp&s=38077a2ef6631893938232fe87fa792da1b52e4d

    I successfully completed the pip3 installation in my terminal with no errors (the previous steps were done successfully as well). However the second line says bluetooth_battery BT_MAC_ADDRESS_1 ...which I didn't understand as to where should I enter this command. I tried doing this in my terminal (replacing BT_MAC_ADDRESS_1 with the MAC address of my bluetooth TWS device of course), however, it says bluetooth_battery: command not found . Am I supposed to place this line somewhere else? I have zero clue on this.

    Thanks in advance!

    The VGA/DVI displays work but when booting up Linux Mint goes into fallback mode. I have tried installing a fresh version of mint but same issue.
