| Are mainstream text editors really that bad ? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 04:18 AM PST So i'm a linux noob , i'm used to Thonny IDE for Python and Sublime text for Html/Css . I allways hear linux hardcore users talk about Vim/Emacs/Nano Text Editors , They also make fun about VS Code and Sublime Text and consider them pieces of garbage. So i need someone to explain: -Why should i use Emacs or Vim instead of the other Mainstream programs to write code? -Are these programs really worse to other open source alternatives? -How do i setup Emacs or Vim for Python/Html/Css coding ?

| Almost losing hope on trying to reinstall grub after windows deleted it Posted: 02 Dec 2021 08:15 AM PST After installing windows 10 so i could dual boot with zorinOS (main install)i noticed the boot loader partition was gone. I was not able to boot back into linux, luckily my data is still there just not able to boot into it. My drive is encrypted with Lvm/Luks which made it harder. I've tried tens of troubleshooting tips online but each one cascading into more troubleshooting quests. They include failure to mount my encrypted partition to unrecognized file systems. I had some recent time shift backups on it and i was wondering if i could somehow access them and possibly booting into them because trying to install the grub boot loader has been a nightmare as a not so tech savvy idiot. Any tips would HIGHLY appreciated!!!!! [link] [comments] |
| So apparently I need to edit a file in /sys/… Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:46 AM PST CAREFUL, ONE HELL OF A MEGA NOOB AHEAD So there is this error: Atomic update failure on pipe A Which is caused by the i915 driver from my cpu, which causes my laptop to be in a constant state of agony, which can't be fixed by any amount of distro hopping. So there is one last hope before I give up. There is some file called enable_psr in /sys/module/cec/holders/i915/parameters/ And all I need to do is to change the value inside of it to 0. The only problem is that it is in the sys folder, which is apparently some magical folder, which is a virtual file system, which has files, which are somehow not "real". Any ideas on how I can do this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 12:53 PM PST I've tried ubuntu, mint, a few ubuntu flavors and the problem is none of them want to boot into the os, grub seems to be broken. I don't want to have to monkey around a ton just to get the os installed, I just want it to work so I can start using it. The only two installs I've had luck with are Pop OS! and ubuntu cinnamon remix. I have no clue why Pop Os cinnamon remix works, but I know pop os worked because it doesn't use grub it uses systemd. (ubuntu cinnamon remix wouldn't display on my monitor if I used nvidia proprietary drivers) and that is why I've been stuck with Pop os. Does anyone have any ideas for a distro? [link] [comments] |
| Help opening multiple monitoring scripts for a linux server? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 02:24 PM PST I have a red hat server that i have a few scripts that run and a few log files that are constantly updated. I need a way to open 10 SSH windows that automatically open up to 1. tail the logs And 2. Monitor the scripts Essentially, it takes about 30 minutes to open all the scripts and tail all the logs and i wanted some sort of batch file or something to open all the windows at once. Any idea? Thank you!! I used to use OpenText Exceed but i no longer am able to use it for free. PS: Hopefully a put this under the right tag [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 12:00 PM PST I'm thinking of wiping my entire drive clean and having ONLY Linux Mint on my system. I've backed up my stuff to an SD card already and Opera has sync enabled. Would this be a good idea? [link] [comments] |
| Havine trouble understanding & disown Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:42 AM PST So currently, I'm trying to get a python script to start a python HTTP server that is kept running after the python script closes. To do this, I'm using "os.system("konsole -e 'bash -c \"python -m http.server; bash\" ' & disown")". However, when I run it, I get "sh: 1: disown: not found" yet it does run the python http server and does disown the new terminal. Why am I getting this error? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:53 PM PST I piped the history and mount cmd's searching for "mount -t nfs", and it doesn't matter if I do grep -t nfs or grep -- -t nfs or grep \\-t nfs or even grep mount -t nfs I get grep: invalid option -- 't'. Is there a right way to do this that works or am I using the wrong tool? [link] [comments] |

| Keybind to record desktop audio and then save it to clipboard Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:10 PM PST Hello, in Windows I used ShareX with a keybind to quickly start recording desktop audio, then when pressed the keybind again it would stop and have the audio file copied to my clipboard. Any way to achieve this? It has to be fast. I'm on Fedora, thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Ubuntu 20.04 - NVIDIA GPU consuming power even when using only integrated graphics card (Intel iGPU) Posted: 02 Dec 2021 12:59 PM PST The issue is pretty simple: using Nvidia X Sever Settings GUI to switch from NVIDIA GPU to Intel iGPU doesn't work and the NVIDIA GPU does still consume some power after rebooting and, as a consequence, it generates unnecessary heat. Same thing (obviously) happens if I use prime-select from the terminal. I can see from powertop that when I have everything on idle, I am still consuming around 18-22W which is at least 10W more than I would expect. This seems to be a rather old bug and supposedly it got "fixed". I can find at least two launchpad bug reports (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1765363) and there are some workaround there. Problem is that at this point I am not even sure what works and what doesn't since most posts are over 3 years old. I tried for example installing ubuntu without selecting "install third party drivers" since someone suggested it would fix the problem but it didn't work in my case. Someone else here recently posted about this issue again -> https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/nvidia-prime-not-powering-off-the-dgpu/21856 I used to have another Optimus laptop years ago and I remember it worked fine in older Ubuntu versions but now something seems wrong.

| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 03:15 PM PST trying to use the <box> tag in my xmonad.hs and xmobarrc and I just get the tags printed to the screen. I should have installed everything? Is there an import I need to enable it? Haven't messed around with github much yet to upload the files but anyone have an idea of why it could not be working? I've even tried pasting from others configs still has the same result. [link] [comments] |
| A Great Tool for Distro Hoppers - Use Ventoy! Posted: 01 Dec 2021 09:54 AM PST I've been using Linux almost exclusively for about 4 years now - gaming has long been my exception until more recently. In all that time, whenever I wanted to try a new distribution or install Linux on a new machine, I'd often go digging around for a USB drive, format it because I couldn't remember which ISO I already had on there, toss an ISO on it, and then start installing. This year, I discovered Ventoy. If you're not familiar with it, then I want to make sure you know about it. Basically, if you put Ventoy on a USB drive, you can then add multiple ISOs. Now every time you use the USB drive to start up an install (or run a live instance), Ventoy's UI shows up instead and allows you to choose which ISO you'd like to use. Now I just have one labeled USB drive with a dozen ISOs for whatever I need it for. I am not involved or associated with Ventoy in any way. I just think it's an awesome product. Simple, sure. But game-changing for me. Hopefully this helps someone else out there. [link] [comments] |
| battery limit and brightness control not working on laptop (legion 5 pro) Posted: 02 Dec 2021 02:31 AM PST i am buying laptop but i noticed someones review who tried using it with ubuntu and he had issues like "cant set battery limit, not even in bios", "cant control brightness of display so its always at 100%" (its 500nit display so thats too much for indoor use) and that he have to complile the wifi drivers. is all this legit or is it fixable? i would use it woth arch and i tought things like this are easily fixable but now im not sure...

| How to install Nvidia 340 on a fresh arch install Posted: 02 Dec 2021 08:42 AM PST So last night I finished setting up a new arch install. The computer is an Asus G60-JX with an Nvidia 360m graphics card. I had Ubuntu on it prior. On both distros, neavous does not work. It will lock the system and cause really weird artifacts. Right now that is what I have running. On my Ubuntu machine, I had to have the 340 driver installed, or my computer was unusable. I found the driver with a GitHub on AUR. Since this is a make or break thing for me, can someone explain how to properly install this on my arch machine? What I am finding previously seem to be out of date, and some mention a DKMS modifying? (I know I got that acronym slightly wrong). I don't know if it matters, but I am using x.org and with an installed mesa package. So I am guessing neavou is running. I have both the LTS and modern kernel installed. My guess is I am better using the LTS kernel for better stability. Thank you [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 05:32 AM PST I've been working on a project to do with kernel optimisation and I need some extra documentation on kernel parameters, more specifically how to modify the runtime parameters. I have found some on "kernel.org" but I wonder if there's a simpler resource to use before diving in that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:08 AM PST Using a tiling window manager is so freaking handy and convenient. What's not handy and convenient, though, is having to learn a syntax or programming language in order to configure the whole system via a text file. Sure, this system is very powerful, but it's the only option for window managers, from what I've seen. On the other hand, desktop environments provide GUI settings managers that make configuring your DE so straightforward and simple. Anyone could do it in a timely manner. So, is there a window manager out there that provides this type of convenient settings management? If not, is there any potential for one of those in the future? The convenience of the WM usage almost doesn't feel worth the hours put into the configuring as it currently stands, in my opinion at least. Thanks for any input [link] [comments] |
| External hard drive suddenly stops working Posted: 02 Dec 2021 07:13 AM PST Ubuntu, Linux Certified Z1, the Hard Drive is from a Windows 10 laptop, running on the new computer through one of those Sabrent things. It worked fine for a couple days but it began to stop being accessible. The light pops up and sound plays so it is connected but I don't believe it is mounted and I could not get it to be accessible through restarting, reconnecting or the terminal. Interestingly turning on the computer with it plugged in allows me to start from the Win10 installation on it but I cant access the drive in Ubuntu. Please help if you can, thank you.

| Why did upgrading one package cause sddm to be unable to start? (Arch + KDE) Posted: 02 Dec 2021 10:58 AM PST Hello, Yesterday I had to upgrade the packages: Raptor Brltty Harfbuzz-icu To upgrade icu and install kdepim-addons When I went to boot today, my system showed all the usual messages, but sddm was unable to start. It was only after a full system upgrade and reboot that my computer was able to boot normally. This is a non issue in that sense, but I would like to know what had happened and why upgrading a handful of packages cause my display manager to Break [link] [comments] |

| Sleep states: Linux drains ~10% battery each day on idle Posted: 02 Dec 2021 06:35 AM PST I've been using Fedora (35, Gnome) on my Dell XPS 15 (9560), hardware support has been great so far but I'm plagued by one issue: the sleep states. Whereas Windows 10 used to go to hibernation a while after I closed the lid (maybe like 1h), Linux tries to mimick macOS "instant wake up" feature, but doing so drains ~10% battery each day I don't use the laptop. How do I force a "hibernate" sleep state? (Suspend-to-Disk ?) so it doesn't use battery when idle? I had the same issue on Fedora 34 and Ubuntu 20.04.
