| Learn from my mistakes - upgrade your packages regularly! Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:43 PM PST To cut a long story short, I installed a new app from the arch repos and it broke a system utility. I spent hours debugging and searching online to try to find out how installing an app (gqrx) could break a system utility (gnome-control-centre). I traced it to a missing library (libnsl.so.2), but how could installing a software radio app delete a system library? Turns out I hadn't updated the system in a long time (at least months) and there were hundreds of updates available. One of those was gnome-control-centre. And then I realised... It was an old enough version that is used an old library! When I installed gqrx, it also uses that library but a more up-to-date version which replaced the old one. This broke the anything that was old enough to use the old library, including gnome settings! A quick pacman -Syu and it was fixed! Moral of the story: update your system! [link] [comments] |

| Remote access without SSH tunneling?? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 10:18 AM PST Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to remote into a linux computer without using ssh tunneling? I was thinking of setting up my parents on a linux computer but i think they would need some remote assistance from time to time. The only trouble is that they travel a lot these days so their internet access might be quite limited e.g. via a captive portal. As far as i know you can't use ssh tunneling in that scenario?

| Unrenameable "file system" drive Posted: 30 Nov 2021 12:03 PM PST I want to rename my system drive. I can rename the data drive just fine, but no matter what I try, the system drive always stays as "file system". Dont ask why but if i cant change this then its a deal breaker as I have a drive naming scheme that I have all of my PCs use. How do I make the file system drive say something else? I am using minimal XFCE manjaro. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 30 Nov 2021 02:14 PM PST Hello, I currently have a problem regarding a package I tried to install recently. I tried to follow this guide and so I downloaded and installed libtinfo6_6.2+20201114-2.deb manually from the Debian official website. However, there was an error installing because the package version has a different name from the one already installed (6.2-0ubuntu2), and now it's broken along with libtinfo6 and libncurses6:i386, which are both listed as 6.2-0ubuntu2. Trying to force a downgrade leads to this error (note: translated by me): I've read I should try and reinstall libtinfo6:i386, but I'm afraid of doing so because of how many dependencies it has. Thank you in advance for any help provided. [link] [comments] |

| Dual booting Linux on a Matebook D15 Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:52 PM PST Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, however I haven't been able to boot off of anything other than Windows Boot Manager on this laptop. I've used Linux before, I used to dual boot ubuntu on my older laptop, and had a really easy install from USB, however this laptop simply refuses to boot from USB. I've tried other alternatives like unetbootin with similar results. Yes, secure boot is disabled. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:50 PM PST I downloaded pop os and got rid of windows but the WiFi adapter wasn't found when on pop os. I found some fix for if you still had windows but can't find any solutions if I just have pop os, but I do have access to another device with windows if I need it to solve the problem. Does any1 have a solution? [link] [comments] |
| ULOSINO: new distribution reference site Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:32 PM PST Beginner and intermediate users tend to consult DistroWatch.com for a quick 'synopsis' of a distribution. For those unfamiliar, DistroWatch gives the effect that Linux and other open source operating systems look terrible and are very slow. My new site ULOSINO is a new alternative that places open source OSs in a modern setting. With instant search and offline capabilities, it's ready for ensemble into your flow. It launches with 22 distros, with more coming, and open to community contribution on GitHub (MIT License). [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 30 Nov 2021 12:57 PM PST Hello there! Sorry for bothering, I want to install this driver: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver pure and simple with its instructions. I've done it a thousand times because I reinstalled linux a thousand times. But this time when running the command: "sudo dkms add . " from step 4 on that installation manual, it gives out this error: "Error! Arguments <module> and <module-version> are not specified." It worked earlier today, I'm trying to do a fresh install of manjaro and I need the driver for my WI-FI adapter. Today I've also tried to install endeavourOS and Arco linux just for the hell of it(but I couldn't make the Nvidia drivers f%#$ing work so I switched back to use Manjaro's automated tools) but this command worked. At this point my brain is melting... Am I missing something? Was there an update that I missed... Thank you for your time. [link] [comments] |
| Question about drives and downloading games Posted: 30 Nov 2021 12:47 PM PST So I recently installed Manjaro. I have it set up dual boot with windows one one drive. I set up a 2nd drive for games. It works fine with steam and other games 700gb space free. I'm trying to download assassins creed Valhalla through lutris Ubisoft which is on gaming drive. When I direct the download to gaming drive says not enough space. It will let me download to drive C. Why is it not letting me use my /mnt /gaming drive? [link] [comments] |
| What causes a node service to die and restart itself Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:07 AM PST Hello World! A couple of times in my programming career I've dealt with strange errors or issues, usually I figure them out and learn new things. However a couple of months ago me and a colleague ran into a pretty strange issue and I've never been able to figure out what exactly was causing it, which is really bugging me. I've asked on several subreddits and on stackexchange but nobody has been able to provide me with an answer yet. I guess I'm looking for someone who has a lot of knowledge about how nodejs is starting up processes, nohup and process signals. One night we were tasked to set our server up using a docker container on aws. I wrote the dockerfile and my colleague was the one managing the infrastructure. The dockerfile was responsible for launching two separate servers, one for the backend and one for the frontend. Using: node example1.js (where example.js is the first server) Worked perfect. Using: node example2.js (where example2.js is the second server) Worked perfect. Using: node example1.js & node example2.js Broke saying that "port 4000 is already in use". This error was incredibly strange because absolutely nothing else was using port 4000 except for the first server, example1.js. Server 2 was using port 4001. I spent 2 hours at first regexing everything and looking through everything, searching everything to make sure that there's nothing using port 4000, but there wasn't anything. It was also a clean new alphine/node docker instance so there was nothing on that machine except for what we just installed. So I can 100% say that nothing was using port 4000 except for the service itself. That's why the error was so incredibly strange, why is it breaking on a port conflict on itself... I later on found that using: nohup node example1.js & node example2.js Made everything work perfectly, suddenly no more port conflict, both servers starting up fine. I then went to research why nohup was making it work and I found out that nohup is catching the kill signals and properly shutting down the process, among other things. So the reason nohup made it work is because the first process is dying, then nohup correctly catches the kill signal, properly shuts it down, then when it restarts itself it can correctly do so without another port conflict. So what's happening there is that something is killing that process the moment you background process it, then it automatically starts itself again. Without nohup the first process kill isn't captured and it breaks when it tries to restart itself since the first one is still running in the background. With nohup it correctly catches the kill signal, shuts down the first process, then when it tries to restart itself it can correctly do so without breaking on its own port. I intuitively guess that it has something to do with how nodejs is creating processes, or that it has something to do with the shell closing on docker or something similar. Perhaps the process is only running in background as long as the shell is open and something is closing the shell. I have no idea. The things I don't understand is: - What's killing it, why is it dying in the first place, why is it even required to use nohup since the process shouldn't be dying anyways. - What's causing it to automatically restart itself, or why is it trying to start itself twice. In my mind background processing a service should just run it in the background, it shouldn't affect anything about it dying or restarting, however that's not what was happening and for the life of me I can't figure out why. What's more is that even if it just died I could understand that, that would make more sense to me, but what on earth is causing it to automatically restart itself or start itself twice.

| GTK file chooser ignores changes to gtkfilechooser.ini Posted: 30 Nov 2021 11:37 AM PST I have an issue where the window for the GTK file chooser is larger than my screen.

| Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:17 AM PST Hi everyone, I decided to use an old laptop as a home media server, and I have to say that it works fine. However, I'm not able to enable transcoding, even after reading the Jellyfin guide. My pc is an AMD with a A8-3500m CPU and Radeon 6470M GPU alongside the integrated 6620G and it's running Ubuntu server 20.04.3 with the 5.4.0-91-generic Kernel . From what I can understand, to enable transcoding via VAAPI I need the GPU Mesa drivers, but I have no clue on how to install them. When I run
My Jellyfin setup runs on docker, if it's of any help. [link] [comments] |

| Need to Delete and recreate /home (/dev/sda8) partition Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:48 AM PST I have had a size reporting issue after i used gparted to resize a few of my partitions. /home now reports -1.6gb usage when df -h is run which my monitoring software doesn't like. i have tested the partition filesystem and all is ok with it. I have looked into getting ths fixed but i think the easiest and quickest fix, will be to delete and recreate the partition. This is a live server running debian 11 no gui I was hoping for some guidance in the best way to do this I did find this short guide for Centos but was unsure as some commands differ. • backup the contents of /home • test the backup • unmount home • remove the home logical volume • recreate a new 400GB logical volume for /home, format and mount it • extend your /root volume with ALL of the remaining space and resize (-r) the file system while doing so • restore your backup [link] [comments] |
| Module initialization failed when trying to combine sink with slaves Posted: 30 Nov 2021 09:25 AM PST I'm on Arch Linux with the 5.10.82-1-lts kernel I have to record in obs by having: A track for my microphone A track for discord audio A track for everything else If I understood correctly I have to combine a null sink with my default output device.

| Hide (but not disable) A Start-Up App Posted: 30 Nov 2021 08:39 AM PST Im on PopOS 21.04 Just set up a DasKeyboard 5Q. It has its own app that DasKeyboard provide. The app seems to work fine however on a fresh boot Im greeted with that big, ugly window on my nice, pristine desktop. Is there anyway to maintain the app starting at login while just hiding the window? I tried a gnome extension called "auto move windows" to start it in its own workspace but it just throws me to that workspace when the app starts on login. [link] [comments] |
| NTFS on Linux, can I stick with it or should I change file system? Posted: 30 Nov 2021 01:46 AM PST So, I am going to go through with the process of dual booting linux and I was going to try to do so without losing a ton of my files (games, photos, videos, etc.) and I saw that linux primarily uses a different file system compared to linux over NTFS. Would this cause a problem for me in the future, and should I change the file system, or would I be fine just leaving it as it is? Can I even swap if I have to without losing data? Thanks in advance, just confused. [link] [comments] |
