    Pros and cons of running an arch based distro vs a Debian based one

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 05:00 PM PST

    What are the pros and cons of running an arch based distro like manjaro or endevour os, etc, etc against running a Debian based one like Ubuntu or mint. I understand that they use different package managers like snap and apt. This is coming from a person who has limited Linux knowledge :D

    NOOB Fresh Install of UBUNTU 20.04 on Lenovo Yoga 6, Now What?!?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 12:33 AM PST

    Hey guys, just completed my first install (dual-boot w/ Win 11) of Ubuntu 20.04. Had to use Google-Fu to get the Wireless Card to interact with Linux. All in all it went pretty smooth. I feel pretty accomplished. The question is, Now WHAT? Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get to learn what the heck i just did in the terminal? I typed in sudo apt update make modprobe, etc to get the Wifi to work, but now id like to see some stuff that can help me understand what that did specifically.

    I installed Ubuntu because im beginning my journey into being a developer and id like to know the ins and outs of everything im doing. I know its a marathon, not a sprint but if someone can point me in the right direction it would be much abliged! Thanks Linux friends. Im sure ill be lurking here often.

    Lenovo 720S WiFi + Bluetooth configurations for Debian 11 (bullseye)

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 09:08 PM PST

    I recently moved away from Windows as my primary OS for several reasons for personal use and I used an older Lenovo 720S with AMD and Vega graphics that I got up and running.

    ​

    Out of the box for Debian 11 I ran into the following issues:

    1. WiFi wasn't working out of the box
    2. Bluetooth wasn't working out of the box

    ​

    You will require the RTL8821CE driver to get the WiFi to work on the Lenovo 720S AMD version. I used the instructions listed here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1021865/driver-for-realtek-rtl8821ce-lenovo-720s-13arr-ultrabook to resolve the issue and compile from source.

    git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce.git cd rtl8821ce/ sudo make all sudo make install sudo modprobe -a 8821ce

    Once installed you will require a reboot of the laptop and WiFi should work. You might require some dependencies to install automake and compilers to build from source however there are plenty of instructions available.

    For Bluetooth this was more straight forward after some troubleshooting. Bluetooth is detected upon installation but the Gnome Bluetooth panel stays in a failed state. This is because it's missing the firmware/driver package needed to run.

    You will need to do the following:

    apt-get install firmware-realtek

    You may need to run

    sudo apt-add-repository non-free sudo apt-get update

    Upon installation restart the machine.

    After a reboot go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth.

    Spent several hours working through this as a Windows admin transitioning to Linux so if this is useful to anyone I am summarizing what it took to get this working.

    Using my Pixel Buds now and connected to WiFi with 2.4 and 5Ghz support.

    Arch/Sway/Easyeffects/Pipewire/Telegram

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 05:24 AM PST

    Hello everyone,

    I discovered recently easyeffects which supposed to replace pulseefects, and when I try to process the input sound through this app to telegram for recording messages, it does nothing. But it actually applies plugins on voice, and I can see it in easyffects, but telegram doesn't want to deal with this app.
    I can process audio in that case through carla with some routing, but carla is not the solution. Did I miss something or doesn't understand some concepts?

    I want to stop the reporting of a debian server's status in datadog

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:24 AM PST

    (Draft written but not yet able to post to r/datadog)

    Hello, I'm very new to this. I've inherited a dashboard, and there's a (debian) server on it I don't need or want monitored.

    Would somebody be able to advise me how to remove it from the dashboard, either by stopping datadog checking for it or by telling the server to stop sending info to DD, please?

    I've searched for an answer, but I keep getting into the DD docs, going round and round, and none of it seems relevant to what I want done, though that might be my lack of understanding. If somebody could point me to the doc that explains how to do what I want done, that would also be extremely helpful, at least I'd know I was looking in the right place.

    ​

    Thanks in advance,

    Phil

    A NOOBs Technical Question.

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:06 AM PST

    It's been a week and now I am even more damn confused.

    First few reasons why I am confused

    Can you use GPT with legacy BIOS?

    Legacy MBR boot is not able to recognize GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks. It requires an active partition and supporting BIOS to facilitate access to disks.

    Does legacy use MBR or GPT?

    In general, the legacy BIOS only supports MBR, but the UEFI supports MBR and GPT. So, when selecting the MBR or GPT disk, you can take the OS support into consideration.

    Does legacy BIOS support UEFI?

    UEFI is a fine extension to the legacy PXE boot, but not all OSs support UEFI boot firmware. This is where legacy boot firmware becomes a core requirement for OS booting. Windows versions such as Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 SP2 do not support

    Can GPT boot without UEFI?

    boot GPT disks are supported on BIOS-only systems. It is not necessary to boot from UEFI in order to utilize disks partitioned with the GPT partition scheme. Therefore you can take advantage of all of the features offered by GPT disks even though your motherboard only supports BIOS mode.

    wait there is more...

    Can GPT use without UEFI?

    The GUID Partition Table (GPT) was introduced as part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) initiative. So to use the GPT partitioning style the motherboard should support the UEFI mechanism. As your motherboard does not support UEFI, it is not possible to use the GPT partitioning style on the hard disk.

    Note These are all commonly searched questions on google.

    One says something then the next one completely denies what the previous one said.

    Is it like this Legacy BIOS ---> MBR UEFI ---> GPT

    OR

    Legacy BIOS & UEFI ~~> We don't give a fu*k choose whatever you want.

    Also please care to through some light on this Legacy BIOS /boot, swap, /, /home UEFI ESP, swap, /, /home

    "operation not permitted" while trying to mount nfs

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 01:48 PM PST

    Hi,

    I've got a NAS server that expoorts nfs share. I've got one desktop (linux mint), where I can mount that share without any issues with command:

    sudo mount 192.168.1.111:/mnt/share ~/mount-point

    Now, I'm testing something on vm with Manjaro. That vm comunicates with NAS without problem, but when I'm trying to mount that sahre with the same command, I get error:

    mount.nfs: Operation not permitted

    I have no idea what is wrong with that. Please help!

    UI app has terrible performance when run by service account

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 10:32 PM PST

    I'm tinkering with embedded flutter guis that are displayed via GBM/DRM, when I run the GUI app as either root or as the logged in user the UI run extremely smooth, 60 FPS-ish.

    So I created a service account and added it into the video group so it can also run UI just to make sure everything is safe and isolated however the UI runs terribly, 10-20 FPS. It's a weird problem because from what I've googled, service account users don't have any resource limits on them by default. I even checked systemd slices too and those have to be configured nothing is set by default. What could be going on? I've already opened an issue on the embedded flutter engine I'm using.

    I'm on Ubuntu 20.10 and I have systemd

    How to update the bios (keep in mind my brain is a neanderthal)

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 06:36 PM PST

    I want to make things clear currently I don't own a pc but I plan to in the future. OK moving own.

    So I was on PcPartPicker and I was checking the boxes etc. And I clicked this asus motherboard (I want to use a 5600x chipset) and in the bottom it tells me that I might need to do a bios update I'm going to use the "asus tuf gaming b550-plus (wifi) as an example. I even went to the Ubuntu forums and they said to just use easy flash. I'm just curious that if I follow the steps that I normally would to use easy flash (or any bios flashback) would this work?

    Tldr: can I use easy flash how you would normally follow the steps (yes I know about fat 32).

    Sorry for being a noob

    NTFS Drive in Linux

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 01:52 PM PST

    Hi all. I currently have a windows server running mainly Plex. I have about 4TB of movies and series on there. I want to move the server to Linux. Will still be able to see the data on the NTFS drives or do I need to format them to exFAT? I would prefer to leave it as is and just PnP.

    How fast is Debian (Gnome DE) on HDD?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 04:52 PM PST

    Hi all, I want to dual-boot Windows and Debian (because I want to play R6 Siege and Ubishit doesn't wanna be compatible).

    I'm not an active gamer. I only play Siege here and there, but I still want it to be on my SSD for the best performance. Because of this, I plan on putting Debian on my HDD. But how fast is Debian on HDD?

    I heard that boot-up times are longer if it's on HDD, but are there any other side effects? Will it slow down, say, desktop animations? or make the entire OS slow? etc. My Debian will just have the basics along with some packages and extensions for DE customization.

    I don't plan on doing anything else on Windows other than gaming on Siege. Should I just partition my SSD to hold both OS's instead?

    Here are my specs (I'm not very techy, so I'll just put down all the things I think might be of use to y'all):
    - (Current OS--which I also plan to dual-boot w/) Windows 10; version 10.0.19044; build 19044
    - (Architecture) x64
    - (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor, 3400 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
    - (GPU) Radeon RX 570 Series

    Is It Possible To Use 'Ventoy' To Contain A Live USB Image Of Open Media Vault (OMV)?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 09:50 PM PST

    Hey there,

    I got a spare 1 TB external USB drive that I want to put a ton of ISOs on it. I read about Ventoy and it looks awesome.

    My plan:

    • Install Ventoy onto the 1TB drive by using the related Linux based installer since I have Manjaro on my actual desktop
    • Then, on the USB drive itself, place ISOs for distros like 'Batocera' for occasional game emulator usage, Open Media Vault (OMV) to backup storage, and a bunch of other Linux distros like audio based ones to record some music.

    First Question:

    • On the days when I want to use my old 'Gaming' PC as a giant NAS to share a few drives as a SAMBA drive, could I just boot into a Live ISO of 'OMV'?
    • Or, do I have to prepare partitions ahead of time to make space for an installation of OMV instead? I ask because I've installed OMV via Debian's related installation script, and didn't know if they had a Live DVD instance.
    • Kind of confused about the workflow on how to pull this off.
    • I ask because I got an Odroid HC-4, which is cool with OMV, but I have a TON more drive space on my huge tower laying around that I never use, and this could be a huge game changer for me.

    Second Question:

    • For the offchance I want to use a bunch of random ISOs, should I use another drive to dump my '/home' partition on, or should I just somehow configure a single drive for basic storage for things?

    Win+Mint SSD+HDD Optimum Setup?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 03:43 PM PST

    I want to start using Linux Mint as my main OS, but I also need Windows 10 for the occasional thing that I expect to be difficult (if not impossible) to do in Mint, e.g. Garmin Express, Microsoft Excel, Google Drive.

    A reformat and a clean install of Windows is long overdue anyway, so I'm trying to think through the optimum way to clean everything up and set up my system in a well-structured way.

    I have a 120GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. In all honestly I will never need anything like the full 1TB, but I'm thinking that the best way is going to be to split them both in half, and give 60GB each on the SSD and 500GB each on the HDD to Windows and Mint. However, I'm not 100% sure on the best way to make this happen.

    If I am prepared to do a full reformat and a nice new "clean" installation, what's the optimum way to structure this, and in which order do I need to do things?

    I'm a real noob when it comes to Linux, so I could do with the most basic explanation possible please!

    Thank you

    Nvidia drivers while booting ubuntu (Legion 5)

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 03:24 PM PST

    My main purpose for buying a Legion 5 was to be able to run computer vision stuff locally, which require good GPUs. I want to install Linux (Ubuntu) on it . I know from previous experience that ubuntu doesn't come with the appropriate Nvidia drivers for gaming laptops and the PC won't boot unless you do so. If someone has tried this, please provide a source/guide of how to do this.

    Also I will try to install Ubuntu on a portable drive using https://www.58bits.com/blog/2020/02/28/how-create-truly-portable-ubuntu-installation-external-usb-hdd-or-ssd . Will there be any difference during the installation process because of this?
