    This is for my grandma. She is 82 years old and she got a imac with snow leopard since 8 or 10 years. This Macintosh couldn't be updated anymore and she need a new computer. I'm looking for something similar because she can't learn from scratch anything else.

    Thanks for your help.

    New to Linux as a Daily Driver on my laptop. Looking for advice on security, heat/battery management, and dmesg warnings.

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 08:42 PM PDT

    Bought a new Dell G7 15 laptop, and decided to take the plunge into using Linux for my only OS. I am not COMPLETELY new to linux since work has required me to use CentOS for quite a while, and in my free time I dabbled with a Debian external.

    But using it on a laptop as my only personal OS, I am still somewhat a noob and have some questions/need of advice. Gonna try and be thorough in what I am trying to say so I'll split it up. First the questions, then what I have done so far if they are relevant.


    The OS and Hardware:

    • Debian Bullseye Release Candidate 2, with a Plasma desktop.

    • Intel 10th Gen i7 processor

    • Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU, plus intel UHD Graphics


    Questions:

    • What are the best packages to help a laptop with heat management and battery life? Especially if I wish to game on this thing. Nothing extreme, just like... Final Fantasy 14 at best.

    • As far as security is concerned I hear as long as you are not dumb and downloading everything malware is rare on a personal user level. At the behest of a guide I have set up nftables with the default workstation config. Is that enough for peace of mind with ublock origin and noscript for my browser or do I need to do more?

    • What are the signs that an error is serious or not? Where should I be looking for these things aside from dmesg? Are the things I posted at the bottom serious?

    • I saw apt give a message "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" so I simply chose to remove them after a glance over the list. Is this generally a bad move?

    • Frankly just what is good advice you would give a noob, or has anything I have done up until this point seem awful without me realizing?


    History of what I did to set my laptop up so far:

    I basically used an external as a "trial run" to install, look at dmesg for missing firmware, then did this on the actual laptop.

    1 sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list 2 sudo apt update 3 sudo apt upgrade 4 sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list 5 sudo apt update 6 sudo apt upgrade 7 sudo apt-get install vim 8 sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek 9 sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi 10 sudo apt-get install i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin 11 sudo apt search firmware-sof-signed 12 sudo apt-get install firmware-sof-signed 13 sudo apt search i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin 14 sudo apt-get install firmware-misc-nonfree 15 sudo apt search nvidia/tu106/acr/bl.bin 16 sudo apt-get install synaptic 17 sudo apt search intel-microcode 18 sudo apt-get install intel-microcode 19 sudo apt-get install vlc 20 sudo apt install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r) 23 sudo reboot 24 which nftables 25 sudo apt-get install nftables 29 sudo cp /usr/share/doc/nftables/examples/workstation.nft /etc/nftables.conf 30 sudo nft -f /etc/nftables.conf 31 sudo systemctl enable nftables 34 sudo reboot 37 sudo dmesg 38 sudo apt-get install nvidia-detect 39 nvidia-detect 40 lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga" 41 sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver 42 reboot 43 sudo reboot 44 sudo dmesg 45 sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf 46 sudo reboot 47 sudo dmesg 48 cd ~/Documents/ 49 history >> history.txt 50 sudo apt-get install snapd 51 sudo apt autoremove 52 snap search bitwarden 53 snap install bitwarden 61 systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service 62 sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service 63 sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service > errors 65 echo blacklist nouveau | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf 66 sudo reboot 

    DMESG stuff, that I got from piping the output to grep commands for warn, fail, and unsafe:

    [ 0.925470] i8042: Warning: Keylock active [ 3.432407] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: warning: unknown sof_ext_man header type 6 size 0x20 [ 3.432411] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: warn: FW ABI is more recent than kernel [ 3.432414] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: warning: unknown sof_ext_man header type 3 size 0x30 [ 3.432415] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: warning: unknown sof_ext_man header type 5 size 0x20 [ 3.555201] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: warn: FW ABI is more recent than kernel [ 3.656926] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: warn: topology ABI is more recent than kernel [ 3.510697] thermal thermal_zone7: failed to read out thermal zone (-61) [ 2.785846] systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:16: Unit configured to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control-group'. Support for KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed.

    Ubuntu - Mouse Completely Stopped Working

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 01:20 PM PDT

    I could write a 30 page document on how many obvious things are broken on Linux, but I will save doing so. As of the past two weeks or so, my mouse on my laptop (built-in, not external) will abruptly freeze and stop working on Ubuntu. I can Ctrl+Alt+Delete to display the logout/restart/etc. screen and other things such as videos continue playing, but the mouse pointer will stay frozen and can't be moved or clicked, requiring restarting, only to have the mouse freeze again within 10 seconds to 20 minutes.

    It has been increasing from about 1 in 5 uses of the laptop to 1 in 2 and finally a few days ago it did so no less than a dozen times in one hour.

    I followed some steps on here and other sites and none have worked. This includes updating. After updating, the mouse will not work at all, whatsoever 9 out of 10 times. In the 1 out of 10 that it works, it will freeze after 30 seconds. I have to use the advanced settings to boot into an older Linux generic header or whatever to have the mouse go back to freezing every 10 seconds to 20 minutes each restart.

    I'm rushing to type this before it happens again. I have to restart the computer each time via hardware restart.

    I know asking for the problem to be identified and fixed is too much, so I will simply ask: Is there a way to "reset" the mouse when it freezes? Such as a Terminal command of "re-detect the mouse"?

    I honestly cannot stand how broken everything on Linux is. It's like trying to drive to work using a lawnmower with no wheels.

    Thanks.

    Stupid graph appeared after changing compositor rendering backend

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 12:27 PM PDT

    • Linux 5.13.1-3-MANJARO x86_64 21.1.0 Pahvo
    • KDE Plasma 5.22.3

    After changing the rendering backend in the compositor settings from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender this graph appeared in the top right corner of my screen and I can't find a way to remove it, I'm probably just missing something trivial lol. (and yes I've tried changing to back to OpenGL, didn't work)

    Hey fellow Linux Users I could use some help.

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 10:33 AM PDT

    I have a 10+ years old PC and recently installed Linux Mint 20.2. <Video Settings at bottom>

    My problem is that my Screen is too big for my Monitor. It is cut off on all 4 edges.

    There is no option to change this on my Monitor (1920x1080).

    I was able to fix the problem on my own tho by typing these commands in the terminal.

    xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan on

    xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set "underscan hborder" 20 --set "underscan vborder" 10

    But here comes my new problem. Everytime I restart my PC I have to type the commands again cause they dont save and the other Problem is, that it does work tho however it makes my screen kinda blurry.

    Settings

    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192

    why some distros have a corporate version?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 01:33 PM PDT

    So RedHat has a corporate and Fedora for desktop. Suse is corporate then there is OpenSuSE for desktop, there is even a more friendlier version called gecko.

    meanwhile MacOS is same for everyone and i believe so is windows. What extra(or less) is required for "corporate" use?

    Easy ways to migrate keys in trusted.gpg to keychains in trusted.gpg.d?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:03 AM PDT

    apt-key is deprecated, and it doesn't always want to work. I do have a bunch of keys in trusted.gpg, though, and I was wondering if there's an easy way to migrate them into the trusted.gpg.d folder. I tried extracting each key and giving it its own .gpg file via a bash script, but apt doesn't says the keys aren't trusted, but I can't seem to trust/armor them either becuase I still have trusted.gpg available, but if I remove it there are even more errors.

    What do I do? apt clean and apt autoclean aren't helping me regenerate anything, and reinstalling the keychain packages don't do anything either. It would take a bit too long to do manually with all the sources I have there.

    I'm using Debian 11 Bullseye.

    Is it possible to only use 2 monitors out of 3?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 11:47 AM PDT

    A bit of context: I have VGA from motherboard (in addition to DVI from my GPU) connected to my monitor because the BIOS refuses to display using my GPU. Currently my system thinks I'm running 2 monitors and I have the VGA disabled through selecting "display only on 1" through the settings app.

    Anyways, I'm planning to add a 2nd monitor. Will it be possible to connect the 2 monitors while leaving the VGA disabled?

    I'm running PopOS 21.04 and my GPU is AMD r5 240

    Logging out and back in strangely solves many problems

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 10:47 AM PDT

    I'm running Arcolinux with gnome.

    When I first power on the pc the animations are disabled, and I have a really high cpu usage on some programs (like Spotify for example), when I log out and back in (not reboot) these problems solve magically.

    Sorry I cannot give more information, but this is the only thing that is consistent, so I don't know where to start.

    I also had installed Openbox (without DE) and had the exact same problem.

    Edit: I have an nvidia gpu, with the correct drivers installed. Thought that maybe it has something to do.

    Dual booting Windows and Pop! OS. Pop (systemd-boot) wants me to create a partition for the EFI but Windows already has one and having two gives me issues. Do I make the partition Windows created as my /boot/efi?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2021 08:33 PM PDT

    I installed Pop OS and it told me I needed a separate /boot/efi partition, but I have a Windows 10 install and there was already an EFI partition on my computer. I understand the problem is that it's booting into the newly-made part which means it has no awareness of Windows, and my solution is to reinstall Pop using the Windows Boot Manager partition as my /boot/efi

    That being said I would really like to ask before I accidentally wreck the EFI to my Windows install. Thanks for all the help in advance.

    How to launch desktop applications in a bash script

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:09 AM PDT

    I'm using i3wm and I'm trying to open several applications in separate named workspaces using a simple bash script. It works, except for one program--Zotero. It's a graphical desktop program, and I can't seem to open it. Here's my script so far.

    #!/bin/bash i3-msg 'workspace "2: FF"; exec firefox' sleep 2 i3-msg 'workspace "3: mail"; exec thunderbird' sleep 2 i3-msg 'workspace "4: lit"; exec zotero' # doesn't work 

    Without the script, I typically launch Zotero from rofi. Execution of `whereis` shows zotero to be at ~/.local/share/applications/zotero.desktop. I've tried calling it using a fully qualified path, but that doesn't work either. Any help would be appreciated.

    Automatically switching wallpaper with light/dark theme (Pop!_OS 21.04)

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 03:09 AM PDT

    TLDR: is it possible to make background change to a specific one when you turn on light theme or dark theme

    Hi there, im looking for something thats gonna switch my desktop background to something else when i switch to light or dark theme (for dark theme obviously some darker background, for light theme something more vibrant or whatever). Currently im using "pop theme switcher" extension (i think thats the name?) which just adds a button to switch between light or dark theme in a quicker way than going to settings first, then appearance, theme, whatever... i switch between the two very frequently and while its not the end of the world if i have to go to settings to change my background it would be super convenient to just have it done automatically, just set background for light theme, one for dark theme, done.
