| Today I learned you can rename files with the mv command Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:04 AM PDT This is probably something most experienced Linux users know but since this subreddit is for people who aren't as experienced I thought it could be useful to some [link] [comments]  |

| Manjaro XFCE: bash -> xfce4-terminal -> xterm-256color -> X Window System -> CPU ????? Posted: 02 Sep 2021 11:21 AM PDT Hi, I am new to linux and trying to learn about how the default terminal emulator on Manjaro XFCE works. Could someone please read over what I wrote and correct me if/where I am wrong? The deafult terminal emulator on Manjaro XFCE is called xfce4-terminal and by default uses bash as the shell. Since the environment variable TERM in my home folder is set to xterm-256color, and also from what I read on the xterm Wikipedia page about xterm being the standard terminal emulator for the X Window System, I think this means that the xfce-terminal builds on the terminal emulator xterm, which xterm-256color is a protocol/variant of? From my understanding this means that xterm agains build upon the X Window System. So when I write a command in bash it basically goes: bash -> xfce4-terminal -> xterm-256color -> X Window System -> CPU/some other program I am unaware of If I got it completely wrong, I would appreciate it a lot if someone explained why and where I can read to learn more.

| protip: make a habit of keeping README files in most of your folders. Posted: 02 Sep 2021 04:47 AM PDT I've found keeping a plaintext README file in damn near every folder to come in quite handy. in it i jot down syntax for certain commands i'm likely to run in a folder, notes reminding me if certain things are hiding in a weird nested folder, etc. i think i picked up the idea from a nextcloud plugin that displayed any README file in a folder at the top as a note. nothing groundbreaking but as a compulsive note-taker it fit in my workflow easy and helped me so passing along!

| Posted: 02 Sep 2021 10:15 AM PDT If I'm listening to a song on Brave (Browser) and playing Phasmophobia (Game), then I start to hear audio cackling. If I'm listening to only a song on Brave, then the audio is perfect. To switch to Pipewire I ran these exact commands,
For me the Pipewire.conf file is in
Unless that's where it normally is. Anyway I changed these values in the conf file, I don't have the original values; default.clock.min-quantum = 256 default.clock.max-quantum = 768 BTW I use Arch. [link] [comments]  |
| Is the pound symbol (#) the same as sudo? Posted: 02 Sep 2021 10:14 AM PDT I sometimes see command preceded by the pound symbol, does it mean the same thing as sudo? Sorry for the simple question, this is really difficult to google because of the special character. [link] [comments]  |
| Enabling Permissions Inheritance from Folder to Subfolder Posted: 02 Sep 2021 01:35 PM PDT Hello, Forgive this humble Windows guy looking to learn more about Linux as he has transitioned to full-time Linux at home. I need an ELI5 of how the setfacl command works under POP!_OS/Ubuntu (I'm on 21.04). I'm having a lot of trouble with the man pages and other researched forum posts and I just don't find them clear or straightforward to follow for some reason. I'm clearing misunderstanding something. The problem I am having is this:
In Windows this is as simple as going into the security settings and enabling inheritance (if it isn't already enabled in the first place). I've tried various permutations of the below command, changing options, etc
To me that looks like I'm telling the setfacl command to recursively modify the parent folder permissions for "groupname" to read and execute files, and recursively add that to all child folders. From the documentation I've read, it looks right to me. Groupname can already do that for in-line folders with it, and on the parent. It doesn't give me an error so much as just show me the syntax for the command. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how syntax works on Ubuntu's CLI, or there's something I'm missing, or maybe setfacl isn't the right command for what I'm trying to accomplish, but to me it *looks* like that should be working, and it's clearly now. Where may I be going wrong? Thank you for your time here. [link] [comments]  |
| What would be a linux alternative to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for home office use. Posted: 01 Sep 2021 10:53 PM PDT I use Acrobat Pro Dc for editing pdf documents (these are text documents not graphic/art. I know pdftk provides a lot of the functionality in cli form. I am wondering if there is a gui alternative that is recommended. [link] [comments]  |
| I want to change to linux but my laptop screen is broken Posted: 02 Sep 2021 01:08 PM PDT I have a 2gb ram laptop with a broken screen and i want to start learning programming but my the laptop has windows 10 installed and it take minutes to do simple tasks like opening web browser.

So my question is : is there a way to silent install linux or is automated instalation or anything that help me install linux without a screen? Plz help [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Sep 2021 01:07 PM PDT For some reason, retroarch doesn't handle n64 games well on my notebook (sometimes it crashes the pc, sometimes with graphics failures), so I thought I'd download the separate emulators one by one. How could I use shortcuts on the ipega control pg 9025 de save states?Volume type up: save state; volume down: load state, etc... [link] [comments]  |

| Manjaro Drive Permissions and Security Posted: 02 Sep 2021 11:11 AM PDT I am configuring a Manjaro install dual booted with Windows 10. After Linux install on SSD and mounting the HDD partition for storage, I could not create new folders in the HDD, so I changed the permissions with chmod and ownership with chown. Not entirely sure which one fixed my problem. There was some kind of delay after chmod. I am now the owner of the mounted HDD directory and root is set as group. This is a business computer (not critical for operation) so security is important.
I plan on installing all but storage hungry applications on the SSD, which is owned by root, and only files/media on the HDD. Does root, as the group, need to have rwx access to the HDD for installs/automatic file creation to function? Does root even need to be the group? Do I, as the owner, need to have rwx access or will rw- suffice until I install an application on the HDD? Can o stay at r-- without causing problems? I am the only on using this machine. Thank you!

| Cloning dualboot system to new SSD Posted: 02 Sep 2021 10:05 AM PDT Hello, I have a 1TB HDD with Fedora and Windows dual boot and I want to clone it to a new 256GB SSD. I looked at Clonezilla and will probably use it but I have some questions. Clonezilla doesn't clone if the source is bigger than the destination. So I obviously have to shrink partitions. How can I do that? Is it okay to simply shrink them and leave them fragmented? Or should I move them next to each other. Moving '/' and C: will probably break grub. What should I do?

| Which distro would you recomend for this PC? Posted: 02 Sep 2021 09:55 AM PDT I have a old PC running Windows 10 but it is getting slower and slower and it's starting to be a real pain to use it. So i wanted to install a linux distro on it (I already used linux and liked it) but I don't know which one to choose. I need stability, so I was thinking of a ubuntu or debian based distribution, but I also want a fast and good-looking desktop even if I have to tweak it a bit to get a good look. My Pc's specs are: CPU: 64bits Intel core 2 quad q8200 2.33GHz 4Gb ram (I'm not sure if DDR2 or DDR3 but I think its the frist) 148Gb HDD Thaks in advance for your help. [link] [comments]  |
| Improving as a noob linux user and discovering things (General base setup improvement advice) Posted: 02 Sep 2021 05:35 AM PDT Some background: Looking to improve on how I have done things up until now, I tried reading through support sites and found some alternatives one might consider: Mostly, what I am looking for is when and why doing any of the above optimizations/tweaks would be useful, and not necessarily the how(but that would be helpful too!). I know things like LVM are mostly hugely unnecessary especially when using only one hard disk, but again I am only looking to learn why things like these exist or if i should use them in anyway in the future. I don't know if all this would be productive in anyway for my life or career, but feels incredibly rewarding to get into; especially with such a nice community around it. PS: One of my first proper text posts on reddit, will improve the formatting as I make more :) [link] [comments]  |

| Change default application to select/open files with? Posted: 02 Sep 2021 08:24 AM PDT I use a cli file manager most of the time, but when I need to select or open a file (ie ctrl+O in a browser), it brings up a default file selecting menu. I installed Dolphin just so that it would use that, but it still opens that default one. I also set the default mimetype of I'm using DWM on arch btw. [link] [comments]  |
