| How to fully close an application? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 02:53 AM PDT Hello, I installed Whatsapp for Linux, and I thought if I closed the window, it would shut down the program. But I keep getting notifications of new messages, so it's clearly still running in the background. How do I close it completely? Thanks EDIT: Thanks all for the useful replies. This community is amazing. Also good to see that not everyone is a noob on this subreddit. [link] [comments]  |
| Dual boot with Windows 10, am wondering what that will do to my programs Posted: 16 Jul 2021 10:06 AM PDT I'm thinking about installing Zorin or Linux Mint on my computer. I have two hard drives so I can put Linux on one and leave Windows on the other. Thing is, I want to use my Windows programs (like AutoCAD, already set up and configured on 10) on Linux. Zorin claims to be able to have a native setup to run Windows programs, but I'm not sure if it can do that post install. (I know it can run them if it's installed on Linux.) My question is this: is there some way to install Linux and still access my programs and settings on my Windows drive? If I didn't have to rebuild my three-screen Rainmeter HUD, that would be phenomenal. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |

| Old disk suddenly won't mount, but TestDisk can read it? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 08:09 AM PDT I have a big old hard drive for file storage and an SSD for the OS. The hard drive has just started refusing to mount (with a 'location not available message'). I initially assumed that it had died of old age, but TestDisk can see (and copy) files from it. I tried running a SMART disk test, but it failed repeatedly. The disk stats show tens of thousands of bad sectors, and a couple of years of run time, so it's definitely need replacing, but is there any other reason it would stop mounting? Also, how can TestDisk see the files when the disk will no longer mount? [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone tell me in simple words which is the linux working directory? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 12:51 AM PDT Update1: Thanks a lot for helping out! I'm done with these steps! :) I've been googling and such a simple question has taken an hour! This is ridiculous.
Also, I need to pull a github project. Is there any way I can achieve this via shell? [link] [comments]  |

| Manjaro GNOME gets stuck on a black screen after clean install Posted: 16 Jul 2021 10:54 AM PDT I've been a Linux user for about 2 months now, I'm in the process of trying to find a distro to call home. So over the past couple months I've been dual booting W10 alongside a Linux distro. All other distros install just fine for me. but Manjaro GNOME just just launches into a black screen. I have a UEFI system with secure boot and fast boot disabled. This is how I manually partition my Linux Install drive:
I've tried a plethora of different distributions, including other spins of Manjaro like Plasma and XFCE, they all seem to install just fine. Could someone tell me if it's something I'm doing wrong? I tried googling but I couldn't find any help. Any advice would be helpful since I'm super new to Linux. Thank you for reading this! [link] [comments]  |
| Arch hangs up after sleep randomly and everything takes too much time to respond. Posted: 16 Jul 2021 08:39 AM PDT I'm experiencing quite a few bugs recently with Arch. The whole thing just hangs up and stops responding for batches at a time, usually after sleep. Opening many tabs in firefox also seems to be causing the problem. Here's the output from journalctl It seems to be some problem with the processor. But I can't understand what the rest says. I'm on an Asus laptop with Ryzen 5 3550H with Vega 8 and Nvidia GTX 1650 with 8 GB of RAM.Arch + Windows dual-boot. KDE Plasma + SDDM + Xorg What could be the problem? [link] [comments]  |
| How to run a script continuously? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 01:39 PM PDT Hey folks, I would like to run a script continuously, not at specific intervals like every 1 minute or every 1 hour. I just want a python script to run continuously as it completes the execution but I can't use a while loop because I am using a bunch of http requests and didn't write any end cases, it's quite possible that once in a while the request could fail because of internet connection issues but it won't effect my work flow, I just need the script to run continuously and even if it fails a few times, it's fine I am hoping I could setup something like a cronjob or a bash script for this, would that help to achieve my task?

| How to open new document in same Gedit window from cmd line? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 01:33 PM PDT Before, if i have no gedit windows open and i do "gedit somefile.txt" in terminal, it opens a new window. If i do it again, like "gedit somefile22.txt", it opens the new file in a new tab of the first window. If i go to another desktop in my linux, the first doc will open in a new window in that desktop, and future docs in new tabs of the same window.. Same for other desktops. Now, everytime i do "gedit file" it opens a whole new window even if im in the same desktop. I literally didn't change anything. I want all new docs to opens in the same gedit window in each given desktop. Can someone help? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 12:05 PM PDT So I accidentally ruined a working Windows installation and currently there is no way for me to boot into it. First thing I tried to do is to burn an iso to usb with my android phone (since I don't have a second PC to make an installation usb), but it only uses fat32 and the iso is almost 6gb. What I want to do now is to get a small linux distro on the usb and boot it, just for moving the data (since the ssd was almost full, which would be bad for reinstalling) and making the installation usb. Which one would you recommend, that would be small and easy to use? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2021 07:21 PM PDT I just started realizing there are a lot of really cool, built in features to my OS that I don't know about, and I would like to go through what Linux (or Debian I guess) comes with that I can use. I know learning how to read the top screen taught me some things, and I was curious if there's anything else out there that I could look at that might help me understand my computer a little better. I really just want to start doing as much from the console as possible tbh [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 11:17 AM PDT So basically, my whole audio is dead. The sound macro in the taskbar (I use kde plasma) is gone and the media keys wont do anything. Weirdly enough, the devices still show up in `pavucontrol` and discord, but they dont play any audio. Pulseaudio is installed but the service doesn't exist: `philipp4@yano:/$ sudo apt install pulseaudio Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done pulseaudio is already the newest version (1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.11). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded. philipp4@yano:/$ sudo service pulseaudio restart Failed to restart pulseaudio.service: Unit pulseaudio.service not found. philipp4@yano:/$ ` How do I get it to work?

| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 10:34 AM PDT Hi I'm having stability issues with Kubuntu 20.04. Issue is not from KDE its from ubuntu itself. When some app crashes, every other app crashing too. For example when vscode crashes, I get the vscode crashed popup as expexted but after that 4-5 more popups coming from other apps and system components. But when I check these other apps. They are working fine. I heard arch is more stable than ubuntu even if its rolling release. Also heard arch is creating problems with nvidia optimus dual gpu and I have nvidia+intel on my laptop. Should I switch arch? [link] [comments]  |

| How to change PS1 prompt to display size of the current working directory? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 11:11 PM PDT So I've been playing around with the prompt variables in terminal and I've found something I like. I wanted to see if it's possible to display the size of the current working directory, and this is what I've come up with However, apparently I also tried doing: And although that works for the first instance the prompt opens on, it doesn't seem to update afterwards (for example if I open the terminal on /home it will show it's correct size of 100G, but as I navigate down into different folders the prompt doesn't keep updating itself to show the correct information as it does with the above This is my entire PS1 variable so far: Can someone help me change the last bit to show the true size of each directory I navigate to. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
