    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 08:46 AM PDT

    I was dual booting windows 10 and Linux Mint on seperate drives. I deleted Mint to change distros, but when I restarted my pc it booted into grub console. How do I find where grub is located on my windows drive and delete it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Internet Download Manager (IDM) alternative for Linux (that can grab media from any website)?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 12:07 AM PDT

    I have recently switched to linux from windows. I can't find a download manager as powerful as IDM to download media (audios and videos). I tried XDMan (Xtreme Download Manager), but is not as handy, showing media from all the websites I visited previously and also taking too much resources.

    So, is there an app to get a button like IDM to download literally every media the internet?

    PS: Wondershare video converter also had something similar on windows.

    Fuck Windows and their lack of backwards compatibility w Win11... Changing main OS to Ubuntu and using W10 vm for non wine games?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 01:32 PM PDT

    I just learned MS is going to make processors older than 3 years incompatible w W11, so I'm done w them for my personal stuff. So I wanna set up Ubuntu (or if you havd better recommendations I'm all ears) and use like a virtual box vm for W10 for games that don't work with Wine, then have a hackintosh vm for music production. How bad would my overhead be with an fx8350, 24gb ram, gtx1070, 256 gb ssd, and 2.5tb worth of mech hdd space (for gamss, and data. Ssd would be for OS and probably VMs if I can set up the data to go to the other drives)

    How do I sync files in Linux?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 05:03 AM PDT

    I have a laptop with arch installed and recently installed arch on our family desktop. I want it to have the same configuration as the laptop. USB is an okay-ish option but I don't want to have to manually copy files each time I edit some values. I've made a github repository for my dotfiles but I'm new to github and don't know how to manually configure it. What I thought about at first was uploading the dotfiles to github then making a shell script that moves the files to their correct locations. But I feel like it'd be quite tedious to set up so please suggest some efficient methods.

    pulseaudio issues in linux mint.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 08:36 AM PDT

    Hey all, I have a monitor hooked up via display port and I am running linux mint. I have a speaker setup, but I rely on my monitor to connect headphones. Whenever I log back into mint after turning my pc off, my monitor is no longer detected as an audio output device. Running pulseaudio -k is the only way to remedy it. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

    Switching to Linux

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 07:42 AM PDT

    Hi! Long time mac user here, who already made the decision to switch to Linux. After trying (via live usb drive) almost all the distros available, Mint and Zorin are the ones most appealing to me. But I can't really decide which one to choose. Can you please help? Thanks in advance.

    Tried to resize disk partition and now all I get is the GRUB shell

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 08:22 AM PDT

    When I moved to Ubuntu, I freed up 300GB from my Windows 10 partition and set up a dual boot. That was all fine. But recently, I've been close to filing up all that 300GB, so I freed up an extra 78.8GB from my Windows 10 partition (that's all that Windows would allow). I wanted to merge the new unallocated space into my original 300GB.

    I started following this tutorial but I'm not sure what LVM means or is and I know very little about partitions and disks. I also couldn't find any better tutorials. I got ahead of myself a little and used fdisk to delete my main Linux partition and recreate it. The size of the new partition was 378.8GB and it had the same number (7), so I assumed everything was good.

    I rebooted my computer and got a GRUB shell. After a bit of googling, I learned how to use ls to view devices and their contents. ls (hd0,gpt5) tells me that partition is 1.5TB of NTFS, so that's clearly my Windows 10 partition. ls (hd0,gpt7) tells me that partition is 378.8GB, so that's my Ubuntu partition, but GRUB describes it as No filesystem detected.

    Looking at set, I get lots of things. The ones I believe to be relevant are prefix=(hd0,gpt4)/boot/grub and root=hd0,gpt4. Looking at ls (hd0,gpt4), I get a 102MB FAT filesystem, which I think is my boot partition.

    I've got a LiveUSB for Ubuntu, which I used to install it on my laptop a while ago. If I plug that in and boot to it, I can run Ubuntu from the USB and install gparted. That doesn't recognise the filesystem on partition 7, just like GRUB. If I look at cfdisk or fdisk, it tells me that the type of /dev/sda7 is 'Linux filesystem' and the size is 378.8GB, so I know it's the right one.

    I think my problem is just that GRUB doesn't recognise the filesystem on partition 7. I have no idea why or how to fix it. I really don't want to have to reformat or reinstall anything, because I think all my data is still there, just currently inaccessible. Most of my data is backed up but I know it will take weeks to get everything back to the way I like it. I think I just need to fix the type of partition 7.

    UPDATE: I ran boot-repair and didn't have an option to repair the partition table, but I did run a BootInfo summary, which is here.

    UPDATE 2: The tutorial I was following told me to make note of the original fdisk output for later, so I knew where the partition originally started and ended. I used the LiveUSB to run fdisk and resize the partition to where it was originally. It's now back to 300GB again, but I've got all my data back and everything boots. I'll make sure to be more careful next time.

    I broke my system by installing a mesa driver and I can't remove it. Not sure where to go from here

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 12:11 PM PDT

    I'm using arco linux with awesomewm I was trying to troubleshoot a steam game not launching and one of the suggestions was to try a different video driver. Oh how I should have known that was a bad idea

    I installed the mesa driver and now my system is comandline only. I've tried pacman -r mesa but it says it cannot find or read directory mesa/var/lib/pacman

    How can i work through this to fix the issue?

    For reference I have a vega64 video card Thank you for any help / insight you can provide

    Lm sensor output for custom gui?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 10:46 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I just finished my basics in c++ now. (I'm an electrician but I'm trying to fully learn software). I'm currently learning Qt apis for graphical progeams, which has some of the worst tutorials I have ever seen.

    But that's another matter, Is there a way to read the hardware sensor output? I read all the files for lm sensors on github and was still stumped.

    I want to see if I can program a custom sensor readout gui. But I'm way more stumped than I should ever be. I only ever done console programs that do stuff. But not hardware manipulating or well anything woth hardware

    Any suggestions here?

    Software to write down and calculate work hours

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 03:36 AM PDT

    I have been searching for some time but I couldn't find anything that is not too complex. Everything I've found is some kind of project management software which is not working for my use case or way out of proportions in terms of complexity for what I want to achieve.

    How I do it now

    I'm writing down the hours I work (think: start=08:00, end=17:30, accumulatedbreaks=00:43) into a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet then calculates if I have worked more hours than on average days (based on my contracts hours per week) or not and shows the difference in green / red in the column next to it. The spreadsheet shows +/- hours, sick leaves, paid leaves overall for the whole month. The value of all months together (+/- hours, sick leaves, paid leaves) is accumulated on the dashboard spreadsheet. This kinda works, but the more "features" I add (like: 'f' in column X marks a holiday which [in terms of worked hours] counts like I worked an average work day), the more nasty the formula becomes and it's a little beast already.

    What this software should be able to do (requirements)

    I don't do anything too fancy, what I'm searching for is this:

    • Lets me enter (in the above mentioned or any other practical format) the hours I worked
    • Lets me mark days as holidays or paid leave (this distinction is important)
    • Lets me mark days as sick leave
    • Shows overall useful statistics like
      • how many hours I SHOULD have worked / I HAVE worked / DIFFERENCE between these
      • how many paid leave days did I consume / still have left
      • overall sick leave days

    Bonus Points

    • Open Source
    • Self hosted with WebUI or local installation (docker is okay too)
    • Android client (or any other way to access the software via android smartphone)
      • Self-Hosted with WebUI would be totally fine as I have a mini-server with a VPN at home already
    • Clean UI
    • Graphs / pie charts or something like that for visualization

    There's gotta be some kind of software for this, right? I can't be the only one writing down the hours he worked to have an overview and who's getting sick of spreadsheets.

    I know I could write my own self-hosted website with a database and everything running on docker, but in my opinion this would be way over-the-top as I would have to learn HTML / CSS / JS / PHP / SQL / Docker for something that already kinda works, but is clunky, suboptimal and hard to expand.

    My OS

    • Arch Linux on laptop / work-pc / home-pc
    • Proxmox (based on Debian) on my home-server
      • I can virtualize on this, so I could easily create a VM with Ubuntu / Debian / whatever if need be

    PS:
    Sorry for possible grammar / spelling, english is not my native language. Is there a better word for this than "work hours"? It feels totally strange saying it like this.

    Laptop suddenly dies even when battery is not even close to zero & stops charging again and again randomly even it isn't fully charged

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 03:58 AM PDT

    My laptop: Hp 250 G6 (i3-7020u, 4gb DDR4 and a 1tb HDD)

    Laptop age: 2 Years 3 months

    My Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04 (plasma version 5.18.5, Kernel 5.8.0-59-generic)

    My issue:

    1. My laptop battery randomly dies on me, you can see from my battery stats that over the entire last week my laptop has never fallen below 20% still it has randomly died at any random percentage (23%,64%,81%,etc), It wont restart until i charge it, when i open it after plugging it for 5minutes its battery is what it should have been 65%,42% or whatever is the actual percentage.

    https://preview.redd.it/p7dnvw60gs771.jpg?width=1361&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a5a43d4c1cd5aca93f461ce1d440683cbc8401e

    1. My charging stops suddenly for few seconds and again starts then it again stops then it again starts and so on.... even when i clearly know battery isn't full yet, here's a video for that

    this happened when my battery was at 65% only same for the sudden death today happened at around 60% today but it isn't same every day and differs wildly

    When this issue appeared and how: I really don't know exactly when this issue started, but its been nearly a month, my system and drivers are up to date and i don't think its a malware. this issue was definitely not there 2 months ago

    My battery health: as everything else it varies wildly due to this, it should be around 60-80% as it used to be when the issue wasn't there 2 months ago, but now its anywhere between 20%-70% depending on when the battery died or stopped charging

    PLEASE HELP, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT & BEING A CSE STUDENT I JUST CAN'T AFFORD MY PC TO DIE ON ME WHILE I AM ON THE GO OR CREATING MY PROJECTS

    ~THANKS

    How much space should I allocate for my linux on a dual boot? And later I can change the amount of space devoted to linux?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 12:53 PM PDT

    I plan to buy a 250GB nvme ssd for my notebook, I currently have a 1TB HDD. I intend to install windows 10 and manjaro or ubuntu on ssd, in addition to heavier programs so that they have better performance (like fl studio, photoshop, cs:go, etc).

    I already use linux most of the time, so I will probably install a lot of programs on linux. How much space should I allocate to it?

    I am on Windows 10, I installed Ubuntu but Grub menu won't show up!

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 06:52 AM PDT

    Earlier today, I install the latest version of Ubuntu and got it to work... The only problem is the Grub menu won't show up. The only way for me currently to switch between Ubuntu and Windows is to go to the BIOS and change which OS it will read first. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't want to through the trouble of going to the BIOS and changing stuff all the time. My parents who use my desktop hate it when something as intuitive as that happens.

    Thank you in advance!!!

    Edit: My Distro is Ubuntu LTS, Hardware: I have 1 hard drive for Windows and 1 hard drive for Ubuntu. And no error messages. grub just doesn't show up at all. Sorry, I'm super new to this.

    How should I remove Manjaro?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2021 06:02 AM PDT

    I've got Manjaro on a separate HDD from Windows. This is how it looks like:

    https://preview.redd.it/h4hmcfqs3t771.png?width=1708&format=png&auto=webp&s=24a12e525ab4121ab56c7338309c4f6bd24f3001

    As you might've noticed, I've got two EFI partitions on two disks. I'm concerned as to how I should remove it without Grub freaking out. The 29.30 GB is where my / partition is and the 59 GB partition is my /home partition. Windows resides entirely on Disk 1 with D: and E: partitions on Disk 0. I'm trying to remove Manjaro and install something else. What would be the best way to do this?
