| Posted: 29 Nov 2021 11:40 AM PST Hi, where should I store deb files in Ubuntu? Should I store them in some system directory? I wanna download virtualbox and I don't think I should store it in Downloads, or do I? [link] [comments] |

| Is moving GRUB to the EFI partition a good idea? How to make a speratae /boot partition? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 12:25 PM PST Please read my two previous posts and comments for context. I currently have a problem with the Calamares installer that seems to be that it encrypts grub within my root partition and grub has to decrypt itself first before showing a boot option list. People told me /boot is encrypted but I struggle to figure out how to make a separate /boot partition to put grub inside. When I partition linux I have two mountpoints to use (/boot/efi, and / being root) I have two mount flags boot and root. I have to give them to two partitions so it looks like the following: fat32 /boot/efi btrfs (encrypted) /, /home, etc. The btrfs has the grub files on it. So in order for grub to not be encrypted should I install grub on the EFI partition or create another one? If the latter what size, type, flags and mount points should I give it? Ubuntu based distros solve this by having an ext4 as boot an an LVM partition that's encrypted. I don't know what's going on. [link] [comments] |

| How to generate a command and run it based on a string posted to the command line? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 10:12 AM PST Say I watched some video on YT that I want to download. Could I paste something like https://www.youtube.com/somevideo to the command line, and have a certain regex that fires off when a url is posted, which generates "youtube-dlp URL MY-OUTPUT-DIR"? I already have aliases for commands, but I wondered about taking a step further to make the terminal guess my command based on a recognizable, unambiguous string like a URL. [link] [comments] |

| Wifi suddenly and randomly disappearing Posted: 29 Nov 2021 09:32 AM PST Debian 11 bulseye, only OS on the system. I'm currently facing an issue with my wifi, where it just randomly cuts out in no apparent patern. If I try to go to reconnect it, I just see the 'no WiFi adapter found' message in the settings. I'm currently using the pci=nomsi boot parameter to fix a constant log error, but disabling it doesn't seem to do anything after my testing. This is really annoying, and would really apreciate any help. [link] [comments] |

| Question Related To Types Of Services in Linux ( Enabled, Disabled, Active and Inactive) Posted: 29 Nov 2021 04:03 PM PST Hello everyone, When I was studying I'm confused a little bit. I am using Redhat Enterprise Linux 8. And what are they below: - enabled active -enabled inactive -disabled active -disabled inactive I'd be really glad if you could explain to me those topics. Thank you for all of your comments :) [link] [comments] |

| What is a good distro that runs off of a USB stick? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 07:34 AM PST I would like to find a distro that runs off of a USB stick without installing. I want to have everything on a USB stick that I can use on multiple computers. I have used tails before and its almost perfect but its a little too complicated with the security measures [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to boot a Linux OS from a decrypted partition while I have booted into a Live CD? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 11:10 AM PST Title might be a bit confusing so let me explain further. 1) Boot into a Linux Live CD (distro doesn't matter) In other words the Live CD needs to act as a bootloader. Is it possible? [link] [comments] |

| Trying to understand Package managers Posted: 29 Nov 2021 03:28 AM PST I'm sure this has been asked a lot but let's say that I use Ubuntu and I want to install SDL2. All I have to do is:
But what if let's say I switch to Fedora where you don't use apt to install packages but you use dnf. To install SDL2 on Fedora you have to do:
My problem is that as you can see SDL has 2 different names that I have to remember depending on my package manager (obviously I can just look it up). How can I know the name of the package that I wanna install doesn't have a different name on Fedora for example? (The same applies to Arch, I just used Ubuntu and Fedora as an example) Thank you for your time! [link] [comments] |

| Tutorial request: enable networking on debian Posted: 29 Nov 2021 06:56 AM PST I was previously trying to install Open media vault, however came up with installation issues. I learned that you could install it on top of a pretty bare debian installso that's what I went with, however I was not prepared for how different from everything else it would be. First hurdle: I only have one VGA, so I planned on a headless install. That didn't send up working due to a bios setting, so I settled and swapped my GPU over. I planned on setting it up via SSH, which leads to the second hurdle: The installation did not enable DHCP or assign an IP by default, so I had no way to Console in, so the GPU got moved back into the machine. Third and final hurdle (so far): I'm apparently way less familiar with debian than expected. I've previously used Ubuntu and it's derivatives, and I work with a few Linux based systems, but I was caught way off guard. I'm quite confused by any relevant documentation. They are clearly written for people smarter and more experienced than myself. The commeds they listed weren't recognized, so either I did it wrong (more likely) or it was written wrong (less likely). I need a line by line tutorial on how to enable DHCP on at least one adapter, so I can free my GPU. [link] [comments] |
| enabling firefox wayland in KDE Posted: 29 Nov 2021 10:28 AM PST aI have a wayland KDE session running. Now I'm trying to make it so when I click firefox, I just it in wayland. No console.

| Posted: 29 Nov 2021 06:41 AM PST I have a Acer laptop with hybrid graphics (i.e., intel integrated and gtx 1650). and I have been thinking of installing Arch based distro like arcolinux maybe. But I have found people talking that they face many problems in hybrid graphics laptop than integrated ones. CPU - i5 9th gen GPU - intel integrated and nvidia gtx 1650 So, should I install arco or just some ubuntu based distro. and another question is that If I clean install a linux distro. should I just format the SSD (i.e., all the partitions of windows including partition 1 (EFI system partiton) and partition 4 (Recovery Partition) or just the C drive.Will wiping the recovery partition and EFI partition will cause problems? Will I wipe my bootloader or something. P.S. sorry for bad english. [link] [comments] |
| Optimizing Linux for old-ish laptop? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 04:20 AM PST I have a 7 year old laptop that I mainly use for web browsing that I wanted to breathe a little new life into so I switched to Zorin 16 Core from Windows 10. It turns out that it's running noticeably less smoothly than it did on Windows 10 when browsing the web. And the search function on the Software center doesn't seem to be working. Is there something I'm not doing that could optimize my experience? Is there another distro of Linux that would suit an older laptop better? Thanks for any tips. [link] [comments] |
| Renaming tool or script "database" based or renaming based on a list with codes Posted: 29 Nov 2021 08:19 AM PST Hello there! I am searching for a script or a batch renaming tool that would search, compare a parto of string of the file name with a list and rename it based on it. What I mean by that: The files: otherN33.txt anotherA001.txt The names in the list: So the final names would be: I saw that renameutils package have something similar (renaming file in a text editor), but as far as I tried it will only give option to rename it sorted and manually.

| Arch/Sway/Sudo rejects correct password Posted: 29 Nov 2021 02:03 AM PST Hello everyone, Sometimes, purely accidentally, I have an issue when sudo rejects correct password. The situation can be resolved by rebooting. Could anyone explain why it happens? I have no login managers and using only tty, and I have this issue when I try to do something in terminal only. Usually I'm suspending the system, and I think it can be related somehow. [link] [comments] |
| Connecting thinkpad 460s and 4K TV - sound via HDMI to monitor?? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 07:38 AM PST Hi, I am trying to work out how i can get my laptop to output on my tv (for movies etc). The TV is currently at family members house so I dont have access to it now but I'm just trying to get my head around what I need to setup. I tried this before with this set up: Thinkpad T460s running arch and awesomewm with pulseaudio sound server ...connecting via HDMI to a Samsung 4k (I think) TV. (Not sure of screen technology but not oled). I was able to see the desktop on the TV but there were blurred lines / screen tearing and there was no sound via the TV. I've since moved from awesome to Sway, partly because I believe being on Wayland will provide better support for 4K monitors? (please let me know if I am wrong about this). I am also now using pipewire. I am assuming that I will be able to come up with something on sway to output my desktop on the TV using I guess if all of the above is right my main question is to do with the sound... Is there anything I need to do to enable the sound via the HDMI connection? Could it be that either the cable or the hdmi ports dont support sound? If i recall correctly the TV speakers didnt show as an option in pulsemixer. Does anyone have any experience with this? I think i am missing something rather obvious but I can't work out what it is.... Thanks [link] [comments] |
