| Posted: 17 Sep 2021 06:53 PM PDT Hey all, I'm relatively new to the world of computer science and even newer to the world of Linux, and while I've been using computers for years, I gotta ask- What the hell is a GUI? I know what it stands for, but specifically- what parts of the stuff on the monitor in front of me make up the GUI and what parts are separate? Is everything I interact with visually the GUI? Even the CLI? And why do Linux users seem to collectively hate GUIs? (Mainly noticed in online communities that people love to complain about it) [link] [comments]  |

I just need it to run at 4:30am for 5 days, every 22 days. 30 4 */22 * * <script> is the closest ive gotten, but can't figure it out!! please let me know if there is a way or any alternatives, thank you!

| What are your thoughts on Manjaro? Is it worth using nowadays? Posted: 18 Sep 2021 11:43 AM PDT I've been using Linux for well over a year, and can't find a distro to settle on lately. I like Fedora, it's rock solid with a great philosophy, but GNOME 40 simply makes me less efficient.. I could write up a whole essay on why I hate GNOME 40, but let's not descend into arguments. This brings up an issue - its KDE spin can be pretty iffy at times, so in case I can't fix it, I'm looking outwards on what KDE distro I could use. I definitely want to be on a rolling release due to the tremendous pace KDE improves at, and I want something that will "shut up" and just let me enjoy my day watching videos or get some work done. And of course, a good KDE experience is required. Manjaro seems to get a lot of love everywhere and seems to fit those 3 requirements, so I'm intrigued. I also saw many writeups on the technical flaws of Manjaro and why it could lead to more breakage, but then I wonder, could those be just blown out of proportion? I see *a lot* of people on Reddit claiming they've been happily using Manjaro for years with some minor hitches here and there that come with using a rolling release. As for distros like openSUSE and pure Arch? I don't really like openSUSE's package manager, and I'm not confident with trying to run pure Arch on a laptop - would hate to have screwed up battery life or Wi-Fi due to me missing a few things. On the other hand, I ran Arch multiple times on a desktop. These are just some thoughts I put together while brainstorming for distro ideas, so feel free to share your opinion and perhaps suggest an entirely different distro. I'd post this on r/findmeadistro but I also want this to be more of a discussion. [link] [comments]  |
| Switching to modesetting; Light Display Manager fails to start without Intel driver or xorg.conf.d Posted: 18 Sep 2021 01:51 PM PDT Goal I wish to use the Impetus My current graphics configuration results in two problems:
Problem LightDM fails to start if I perform any of the following:
LightDM complains:
Diagnostic Information I think it is weird that I have the nouveau driver as well, but that is the least of my concerns right now. Xorg Information The contents of Booting from Ubuntu 20.04 or Kubuntu 21.04 live media leads to a flawless experience. Unfortunately upgrading or reinstalling is not an option at this time. I have to fix the configuration manually somehow. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| KDE File Manager Dolphin, permissions to share a folder to network? Posted: 18 Sep 2021 01:18 PM PDT I'm trying to share a folder on my hard drive to my LAN, but according to dolphin I don't have permission to handle Samba user shares. This is what the share folder shows me: https://i.imgur.com/z9R0jsO.png I've tried running But you can't launch dolphin with sudo because of "unfixable security vulnerabilities". I'm (my user account) is the owner of the folder and the owner can view and modify content. How do I get permission to share folders in Dolphin? [link] [comments]  |

| Swapping SSDs between computers with different OS. Posted: 18 Sep 2021 12:34 PM PDT So I have a 2015 MacBook and it has MacOS running on it. I have a spare SSD, with no OS or anything on it. I replaced the old SSD with the clean SSD and I want to install Linux on it. Although the old SSD contains some important files and I would need to go back to it at some point in time. Would it be as easy as just replacing the Old ssd even though they would both have different OS on it? Im worried that if I install Linux on it, the old SSD will no longer recognize it. Also I'm not referring to using both simultaneously, I'm strictly referring to replacing them and being able to go back to MacOS when I need to. [link] [comments]  |
| How do I get my dedicated Nvidia GPU working on Wayland with Optimus? Posted: 18 Sep 2021 12:07 PM PDT I am using Arch Linux with the latest 470 driver. I followed this guide to get Nvidia only like I wanted, but only with X11. If I start a Wayland session, it runs only on the Intel GPU. Is there any current way at all to configure it to run Nvidia only and Wayland at the same time? [link] [comments]  |
| exFAT drive unreadable after booting into Windows Posted: 18 Sep 2021 12:00 PM PDT So I have a hard drive in my PC that I only store Pictures/Dokuments/videos on (so no Programs or anything) which I recently copied all the files off of, formated it to exFAT(previously NTFS) and everything worked quite fine. Now today I booted back into Windows for the first time since that (about a week ago) and didn't really check to see if the Drive was still there however after then going back to Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 btw) I noticed that the drive wasn't there. Switching over to Windows it was also missing here. So since I still have a backup and the loss of data wouldn't be too great if I just did a Backup but before doing so I wanted to at least ask it this is a common/known issue and if there's any easy fix for it. Oh in case you are wondering the Error message in Gparted is only that "The contents of the Filesystem could not be read" [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2021 11:24 AM PDT When I first installed Debian, I chose the option to install the GRUB boot in my USB(I don't know why I did this) but now I'm trying to return to Windows because I'm not yet soo comfortable with Debian. So I installed the Windows ISO file and moved it on my other USB but when I'm trying to boot my PC it says: 'Attempting to boot from USB' and it does nothing! How do I return in Windows again?

| In a nutshell, what is the difference between all the main desktop environments? Posted: 18 Sep 2021 10:55 AM PDT I'm about to try ArcoLinux for the first time after using Ubuntu,Mint and Zorin over the last few years. The ArcoLinux installer lets me install many different desktop environments but I really don't know the difference between them and why I would pick one over the other. What are the differences? Are some more lightweight perhaps? [link] [comments]  |
| I have a script to build Mesa on Debian but I'm not sure I understand it. Posted: 18 Sep 2021 08:48 AM PDT https://gist.github.com/baryluk/1041204eff4cc4fad6f1508afe67b562 Firstly I would like to know how to pull this off of github to my machine. Next, I run an AMD Radeon machine so I don't believe I need to compile Intel, swrast, or OpenCL etc. How do I disable these things? -OpenCL -Intel drivers -Zink -Software rendering (swrast and lavapipe?) -The DEBUG build (I don't need to compile two versions if I will not use it right?) The script instructions say modify MESA_COMMON_OPTS but to what? [link] [comments]  |

| Two GPUs, one of them runs really slow (when it shouldn't) Posted: 18 Sep 2021 07:38 AM PDT I plan to do a dual GPU setup. One GPU is an RX 560 for Linux and an RX 580 for my Windows VM. Unfortunately Linux runs terribly on 560 but runs flawlessly on 580. I want to run Linux on a 560, but can't because of the terrible performance. Mouse moves smoothly, but everything else runs as slow as possible. It's worth noting that I did use a 580 on Linux before when I installed it, but now I want to switch GPUs and I have no idea where to start. I did try updating my drivers, but nothing seemed to help. I even connected my monitor to one GPU or the other for testing and the results are always the same. Fast on 580, slow on 560. My specs:

| What's the worst what can happen using proprietary google chrome on ubuntu/linux-distro? Posted: 18 Sep 2021 06:36 AM PDT Hi, I'm using Ubuntu for many months now ... and I'm trying to use as much FOSS as possible :) I'm not a real hardcore gamer- but I like two or three games- including csgo (from stream). As Techlore mentions in his video "Dark Side of Discord" , to avoid installing proprietary discord client, you could use it in the web-browser version. But firefox is causing lags in csgo, only when I join a voice-channel in discord-web. I tried it with a portable chrome version (I feel kinda better if chrome isn't installed correct, idk why)- with chrome this doesn't happen. (Maybe because firefox is showing an annoying microphone-using pop up tl;dr what is the worst thing, that you could imagine, that google chrome could do on our linux-distro machines? You can run it without root rights- and it would be really crazy if chrome would try to manipulate or destroy some parts of the system. BUT what about scanning your files in the background and sending them (the hashes/checksums) to google? Just to check the hashes of the files a user has, to compare with other users and create profiles? I don't care in this case about what is happening while browsing- I'm just afraid chrome could spy on my computer and do other things then being a browser. Your opinions/thoughts? Maybe you can calm me down a little ^^' [link] [comments]  |
| Trouble appending numbers into an array Posted: 18 Sep 2021 02:46 AM PDT It's appending it all into one single number for some reason. I'm unable to slice each element too. Any idea what the fix is? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Problems with VS code on Slax linux Posted: 18 Sep 2021 06:15 AM PDT I installed vs code on Slax by downloading .deb file and installing it. But then I try to run the application it just keeps loading and doesn't open. If I try to run it through terminal it says that it can't run as root. Any ideas? System information: Slax: 9.11.0 (debian: 9.13) Vs code: 1.60.0 RAM: 8Gb CPU: i3-6100 3.7GHz What have I tried: I tried switching to non root user, but then I didn't have permissions to edit .vscode and .config files.

After you set them, how would you check how thick the 1st / inner border is or what color the 2nd /outer border is? [link] [comments]  |
| E2fsck error while cloning OMV 5 drive Posted: 18 Sep 2021 03:56 AM PDT Basically Trying to copy\clone an operating OMV5 on an SSD. With Clonezilla I got a Program Terminated error.

No errors when creating img but an error when trying to shrink img in Pi Power Tools e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/loop0p2 Could this be a zero-length partition?

| Can you make background that shows current price chart for stock or crypto? Posted: 18 Sep 2021 03:23 AM PDT I was just curious if it was possible to have background that would update few times a day to show current price chart of stock or crypto (or even whole portfolio but not sure if that's possible). Or maybe just make widget that would be always on bottom layer of all apps? Thx [link] [comments]  |
