| New to Linux, trying to install Debian - the installer says I have missing firmware files. Posted: 01 Jun 2021 06:21 AM PDT Operating System: Nothing on the desktop but I have a Windows 8.1 install on a netbook. Hardware: Hi, I am trying to install Debian on a system that used to run an install of Arch Linux that I did not administrate. Before I tried installing Debian I tried a Ubuntu server iso that was already burned onto a USB from a year ago. That didn't work at all and only gave me a glitched screen, So I thought it'd be easier to use something simpler, since I am new to this, which is why I settled on Debian. Here is what I've done so far: When I get to the networking part of the installer, I am greeted with this message: Message:
Where do I get missing firmware files from? How do I add them to the ISO? I only have 1 USB. Does the installer keep running if I take it out and add the firmware files to the USB? [link] [comments]  |

| Disk: ideal partitions for a dual boot setup Posted: 01 Jun 2021 03:23 AM PDT I have been a long time (since 2000) Linux user, with dual boot for windows gaming (some day I won't need this) but I still haven't gotten the perfect partition setup correctly for my needs. My HW:

Am I being too choosy? Will I have to make compromises? bonus: I don't know what I can use the 128 SSD for- suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Restore to default without reinstall? Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:47 AM PDT What is the best way to restore a system to a default state (remove all packages, all non-default files) without doing a reinstall? EDIT: [link] [comments]  |
| Acer Swift 3 - Debian 9 - Touchpad not working Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:14 AM PDT Hello,as the title said, I have installed debian 9 on my acer swift 3 but my touchpad is not working.How can I fix that? EDIT: I have non-free drivers but it still doesn't work [link] [comments]  |
| Slax doesn't show mouse pointer Posted: 01 Jun 2021 03:29 PM PDT Hi, I wanted to try Slax 9.11 32-bit and when desktop starts, it gets the "loading" circle mouse pointer first, but later the mouse pointer disappears. I can point stuff and click but the arrow doesn't show up. I can make it appear with usual methods like Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7 or running "startx" on terminal. It will also start with interaction with the terminal. However it doesn't save /etc/rc.local neither /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I'm lost here as I'm rather new on Linux desktop enviroment configurations. I don't know if it's a bug or something else. [link] [comments]  |
| Help running "Ultralist" CLI task manager app Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:56 AM PDT I could use some assistance... I recently changed back to Pop OS from InstantOS... and I am trying to run my favorite CLI task app Ultralist (https://ultralist.io/docs/cli/quickstart/) but I cannot get it to run what so ever. I have tried each option (install tar file as well as using golang to clone as indicated in the README.txt). When I try to run the app at CLI, I get command not found (even if I am in the directory containing the app). Anyone able to save me here? [link] [comments]  |
| Copying large amount of files extremely slow in Linux vs Windows Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:38 AM PDT Hi, I'm not asking for support for my case, but I briefly explain it to understand my question at the end. This post has been removed from r/linux so I hope it fits better here. I recently bought an external USB hard drive and started to copy hundreds of GB of data to it (classical home stuff local backup). I realised that in Windows I always get speeds of 60-80 MB/s while on Linux it starts fast but soon slows down to 2 MB/s (for the same folders and files, with both rsync, cp and testing different options with both), taking many hours to copy the amount of data I copy in Win in 15 minutes. Same hard drive, same USB port. Considering I need to copy about 3 Tb of data, sadly Linux is a no-go. Some rough numbers: Copying 3 Tb at 2 MB/s would take around 18 days (Linux) Copying 3 Tb at 70 MB/s would take around 12 hours (Win) Searching around, I found some posts in internet saying that this is a known problem of Linux kernel for already many years, that has not been solved yet. Finding this was a huge surprise to me. Is this difference in speeds really a "bug" of the kernel? It simply makes Linux impossible to use for this type of file transfers... Thanks!

| Posted: 01 Jun 2021 03:12 PM PDT I recently bought a couple larger drives than what my server has now. 2-4 tb drives that I have set up as raid 1. I basically just stuck each drive in and mirrored them. I now have an issue where the size of the old drives(500gb) is the size of the partition inside of my raid drives. I can't access them using gparted so I'm sort of stumped as of what to do now. I do not have lvm set up. I'm kind of at the point where I am considering doing a data backup, reinstalling Ubuntu server(with lvm lol) and learning my lesson of not using lvm. I have searched online but I'm sort of confused. I saw something about mdadm being useful in mounting the drive. I don't see how that could work, plus I worry it would screw up my raid config in my server. I don't think that's the way to go. I searched for an error and got results saying that's for fake raid and a sign of a software raid setup but I have a raid card. I'm running a thinkserver ts440. Any help would be appreciated. I am getting to the point where I may say screw it and reinstall like I said. I just want to know if i'm really at that point and if someone knows how to avoid that, is it worth the trouble? Thanks.

| Installing Ubuntu - Tips/Tricks? Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:56 AM PDT Hello guys! It's 2AM in my corner of the world but here I am creating a live USB installer for Ubuntu. Haha. The whole installation process is pretty much covered already, thank you beautiful people of the Internet! But I'm just wondering after installation, is there additional tips/tricks that I should probably consider? Anything that could optimize my Ubuntu experience? Or just anything that I should look out for/avoid? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jun 2021 08:22 AM PDT I am a first year cs student and I want to run Windows 10 and Linux side by side. I have been experimentating with some distro's. Now I am running into a problem when trying to install Fedora 34, I don't know which partition to delete for Fedora, this has gone wrong before which resulted in having to reinstall Windows 10 which was not fun ;) The picture shows my current partitions with windows 10 and Pop Os installed. I only know that p7 contains the main data for Pop Os but I don't know which others I can safely remove, I have two efi partitions for example, is that normal? Can anyone help me out?

| Responding to a sudo password request in a script? Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:53 AM PDT New, so apologies for the wording. Essentially, I'm trying to run a script that contains a sudo command. It's part of a larger process that I'm trying to automate. Is there any way to respond to the password request within the script? I've tried a few things / googling but I haven't had any luck This is what i tried when i run this the docker command fails with ,"incorrect password" I appreciate any time or guidance, thanks!

| Installing ARM Linux on a tablet Posted: 31 May 2021 09:03 PM PDT I have an Asus P1801-T tablet that currently runs Android Neptune, which happens to have issues with newer apps. The update servers are dead. (duh) I looked everywhere for newer custom ROMs, but the latest I could find was Android 7.1 which is still EOL, and all of the download links themselves were defunct. So, I am left with only one logical choice. If I go to https://www.asus.com/ph/supportonly/p1801t/HelpDesk_Download/, and I select Android, I can download the kernel source code that contains all the drivers for the tablet. How would I go about using this? Can I just simply install, say, ARM Ubuntu and then compile that kernel and boot with it? Or is the kernel going to be too old and things won't work properly?

| Posted: 01 Jun 2021 05:36 AM PDT I have had my laptop (ThinkPad E495, AMD Ryzen™ 5 3500U CPU with an integrated Radeon™ Vega 8 Mobile Gfx GPU) for longer than a year and I've experienced a lot of unstability. I already created some posts about it in the past (e.g. this one), but the problems persist. My laptop crashes often and I need to hard-reboot it. TL;DR, does anyone else experience serious unstability with my laptop or my CPU+GPU? Is the driver (amdgpu) unstable with it? Recently most problems seems related to the graphics card: at random times my X11 session freezes badly. Sometimes I manage to move to TTY2 and reboot the system from there, other times I have to hard reset the laptop. I'm not sure if the issues were because of the graphics card in the past too. Nowadays dmesg contains a lot of errors about the GPU, for instance (these are excerpts from the last 3 crashes): Then this error covered my monitor I've been running Arch Linux on this laptop, upgrading it over time since November 2019 (I started with Linux 5.3.8.1, now it's Linux 5.12.8). I've been hoping for an upgrade to fix my issues, but it doesn't look like it's happening. I can't install Windows on this laptop and would prefer not having to install other OSes either. But would love to know if the issues are hardware or software. I let Memtest86 run for a while and it detected no issues. Does anyone else have the same laptop or at least the same CPU+GPU? Is the driver (amdgpu) unstable with my chip or what else can be causing my problems? [link] [comments]  |
| I'm trying to get blu ray to work with ubuntu 20.04 but it can't find "libbluray1" Posted: 01 Jun 2021 04:06 AM PDT Hello, i asked https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/npby70/i_have_a_blu_ray_drive_with_a_blu_ray_movie_in_it/ yesterday, and someone said that i need to go to https://askubuntu.com/questions/1258745/how-to-play-blu-ray-mkv-files-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts i did and i tried to install the command, but the terminal reads "E: Package 'libbluray1' has no installation candidate" any ideas? what can i do to make blu ray work for ubuntu? thank you [link] [comments]  |
| What’s the point of not getting a lightweight distro? Posted: 01 Jun 2021 06:04 AM PDT So I was wondering what advantages do non lightweight distros have over light weight ones (ex: Zorin OS vs Zorin OS lite). To me, if Zorin OS lite uses less resources, and I'm still getting all the functionalities of a normal OS, then wouldn't it make sense to always go for the lightweight distro? [link] [comments]  |
| What are some user-friendly window tiling managers? Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:48 AM PDT by user friendly i mean easy configuration, dock option and community support. [link] [comments]  |
| Green stripe showing up in video reproduction Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:35 AM PDT I'm using a fresh installation of Kubuntu 20.04 and I tried getting the proprietary codecs but it didn't do it. Any help would be much appreciated! I'm planning to watch The Notebook with my GF (she's absolutely real and not underage btw) EDIT: Solved! As u/kbrosnan pointed out, switching to NVIDIA 460 driver fixed the problem. I'm going to leave an image as reference: https://imgur.com/a/fmY1Ff7 [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Jun 2021 06:54 AM PDT I have ubuntu 20.04.2.0 root in ssd alongwith win10(dual boot setup) and its home partition is in hdd. Was trying to update drivers, and after rebooting this happened. Tried changing sata configuration to ahci, which didn't fix the problem, but an error crept in windows bootup as well, so i changed it back to intel setting. Windows is running fine. Initial error - https://ibb.co/PFV9xfp Error after entering "enter" in initramfs - https://ibb.co/Ss3Jc9V Please help. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Give me some barebones linux suggestions that checks the following boxes Posted: 31 May 2021 11:29 PM PDT 1) Should have an installer gui (ex. calamares)
The goal is to mess around a little, learn a little and see what programs I need in a system instead of getting it all and then removing a whole bunch of things or never using them at all and leaving it installed for no reason. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jun 2021 08:20 AM PDT The login screen on my Thinkpad running Linux mint appears, but it looks different than normal (the white bar at the top being the most distinctive difference) and it also won't actually let log in. I can type my password into the entry field, but if I press enter nothing happens. Also, upon reboot, the first thing to appear is the on-screen keyboard. How can I get my system functional again? I'm using KDE plasma if this helps. This seems like it happened randomly; I had rebooted the laptop before and everything worked. Turned it on this morning and got this. [link] [comments]  |
