    [Debian] Broke apt by removing the default games?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 03:02 AM PST

    I've been using Debian on servers for some years now, and now that I had to set up some Work-VMs for myself, for basic stuff and instaed of the hassle of Windows Licenses I thought I'd give Debian with a GUI a try.

    So I have a Debian 11 install on VirtualBox, chose Gnome as the DE. I manually commented out the cdrom source in /etc/apt/sources.list, otherwise apt update wouldn't work. After install I saw a bunch of games in my start-menu, I didn't want or need. I removed them with sudo apt purge *chess* *five* *four* *klot* *mahjong* *light* *mines* *nibbles* *quadrapassel* *sudoku* *taquin* *tali* *tetravex* *swell* *robots* *iagno* -y ; sudo apt autoremove. They are all gone now. But it broke some dependencies, or something else:

    julian@jle-5410-cure:~$ sudo apt install chromium [sudo] password for julian: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: chromium : Depends: libatomic1 (>= 4.8) but it is not installable Depends: libjsoncpp24 (>= 1.9.4) but it is not installable Depends: libminizip1 (>= 1.1) but it is not installable Depends: libre2-9 (>= 20201101+dfsg) but it is not installable Recommends: chromium-sandbox but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    and the GUI "Store" also throws an error:

    So where did I go wrong? How can I fix this now?

    Thanks!

    No WIFI with Mint Live USB?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 08:14 AM PST

    I have a Mint 20.2 Live USB I keep around for diagnostics and so on.

    I also have a Lenovo T430 laptop that the mainboard failed on. I've used that Mint Live USB before and it always worked fine on the T430. No configuring required to make the Intel wireless card work fine.

    I replaced the mainboard and everything works fine in Windows but when I boot into the Linux Live USB Linux can see my WIFI (hotspot from an iPhone 12 in compatibility mode) but it can't connect to my WIFI. Keeps asking for the password over and over. The password is very simple and I have carefully checked it over and over and am able to use the password to connect with other devices so I'm not sure what the deal is.

    The mainboard does not have built in wifi. It uses a wifi card and connected the old wifi card to the new mainboard.

    Any thoughts?

    Struggling to find the causes of many issues on Linux

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 06:26 AM PST

    Hi,

    Several of the issues I've had since using Linux seem very random and many times don't make sense to me. When they get solved I many times still don't know what caused it, which bothers me. I would prefer finding out what the cause is and it taking a bit longer to solve. Accidentally solving it is a bit annoying, to me. If I find a solution online that works they many times don't explain what causes it either.

    Does anyone else have this experience as well, or am I maybe just too ignorant still?

    An example is an issue I had yesterday where my WASD keys all of a sudden ''switched places'' with my arrow keys. The only correlation I could see was that I had just made some very basic changes within the code::blocks settings. I thought maybe I had accidentally pressed some key combination that changed it, but when trying to change that back (with the help of google) it didn't do anything. The solution was simply unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in. Thankfully a simple solution, but I still have no idea why it changed in the first place.

    No GRUB menu, no OS options in BIOS, Boot Repair made things worse (dual booting)

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 07:49 AM PST

    I'm dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu 21.10, each on their own separate SSD drives. I installed W10 first, did my updates, unplugged the drive, then installed U21.10. I hadn't noticed the Grub menu didn't exist until I needed to boot into W10 for something.

    I tried to get Grub to appear pressing and holding SHIFT and ESC (not at the same time of course) which didn't work. Trying to boot into W10 from the BIOS doesn't work because it wasn't even an option in the boot menu (I couldn't even select its harddrive).

    I tried all kinds of instructions and used Boot-Repair. Boot-Repair (and all the non-Boot-Repair instructions) seemed to have made it worse because now I can't even boot into U21.10 nor can I boot into it from the BIOS because the ubuntu boot entry has been deleted. Although I can select its harddrive in the BIOS boot menu, it doesn't boot into the OS (just a black screen with a blinking underscore).

    How do I repair this issue? I don't want to have to reinstall my entire system unless it's a last resort. If I do have to do a reinstall, how can I backup my U21.10 files and settings and restore them appropriately to the fresh install (and NOT transfer over whatever current settings is causing this Grub and BIOS bootloader problem)?

    Avidemux 2.8.0 crashing while editing

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 10:40 AM PST

    I'm having problems getting Avidemux 2.8.0 AppImage working correctly on Pop!_OS 21.10, it will open and save an unedited video fine, but as soon as i start trimming the video it crashes with this error:

    frame->data[i] at line 1852, file src/libavcodec/decode.c ADM_backTrack avcodec_send_packet decoderFFVDPAU::uncompress(ADMCompressedImage*, ADMImage*) decoderFF::uncompress(ADMCompressedImage*, ADMImage*) ADM_Composer::decompressImage(ADMImage*, ADMCompressedImage*, unsigned int) ADM_Composer::DecodePictureUpToIntra(unsigned int, unsigned int) ADM_Composer::goToIntraTimeVideo(unsigned long) admPreview::seekToIntraPts(unsigned long) admPreview::nextKeyFrame() MainWindow::thumbSlider_valueEmitted(int) QMetaObject::activate(QObject*, int, int, void**) ThumbSlider::valueEmitted(int) ThumbSlider::timerEvent(QTimerEvent*) QObject::event(QEvent*) QWidget::event(QEvent*) QApplicationPrivate::notify_helper(QObject*, QEvent*) QApplication::notify(QObject*, QEvent*) QCoreApplication::notifyInternal2(QObject*, QEvent*) QTimerInfoList::activateTimers() g_main_context_dispatch g_main_context_iteration QEventDispatcherGlib::processEvents(QFlags<QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlag>)

    I've tried a couple of older versions of Avidemux and they all crash with the same error. Additionally in trying out Shotcut (downloaded and installed from Pop Shop) I notice that it won't export a video, it hangs at 0% complete, and i'm wondering if that is related to the Avidemux problem above? I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask this to 😅

    Wine applications failing to launch supposedly do to proxy

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 10:31 AM PST

    Hello, it's me again

    While I succeeded in getting my desktop files working, it looks like my apps (ADE and Kindle) keep refusing to work due to, according to them, proxy problems. They launch correctly but always fall short because of proxy.
    The thing is that I'm at home and when I look at my other Windows computers I don't get any problem. Considering it seemingly worked until I started messing up with my app+wine installation I feel like I messed up somewhere and that wine just doesn't want to find internet (may be wrong though).
    I am on ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, my computer works on 64bits and the apps I get on Terminal when it comes to wine/winetricks are these:

    wine-stable 7.0.0.0~focal-1

    wine-stable-amd64 7.0.0.0~focal-1

    wine-stable-i386:i386 7.0.0.0~focal-1

    wine32:i386 5.0-3ubuntu1

    wine64 5.0-3ubuntu1

    winehq-stable 7.0.0.0~focal-1

    winetricks 0.0+20200412-1

    It feels like I need to uninstall one wine or two but I this point I feel like it's better if I get a second opinion considering I'm not making any progress. Am I on the right track or am I missing the point and it's genuinely a proxy problem? Because honestly I never get that problem with my other apps and I messed up with wine so much I feel like I broke something somewhere.

    File sharing system between laptop/PC and within a dual boot?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 09:35 AM PST

    Hey, I have a PC and laptop both that are running dual boot. Laptop - Linux mint + w10, PC is Ubuntu + w10.

    My question is 2 parts:

    1. Whats a good tool for sharing files with just my laptop or just my pc (i.e PC -> sharing between its dualboot)
    2. What's a good way for sharing files between my laptop and PC?

    I don't want to use an external hardware/usb.

    Thanks for the help!

    Dual boot on two different disks

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 09:06 AM PST

    So I want to setup a second os to my linux system. I tried it before when my first os was windows, but windows files got corrupted somehow and I had to install a fresh os. I tried that in same disk. But I have two different disks now. I'll setup the second os to a different disk. So, is there some tips to not corrupt my main os while setting up a dual boot? Will two different disks prevent the corruption of os?

    Oh, and I use Pop! os on a laptop rn, if that changes anything.

    Decryption/New Install

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 01:47 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    ​

    I have a laptop that is running an old version of Linux Mint. It's been deprecated for maybe a year or two now, and I want to put a new Ubuntu install on the laptop. However, the hard drive is encrypted and I don't want to give myself a problem I can't fix. How do I properly uninstall and decrypt the old OS/Memory before coming in with my Ubuntu boot?

    ​

    I also have an old SSD with an Ubuntu on it whose password I've since forgotten. Is there a way for me to again, uninstall and decrypt the old memory stick so I don't need to buy a new one?

    ​

    Thanks!

    Could use some help with the boot process in Linux Mint 20.2.

    Posted: 28 Jan 2022 11:58 PM PST

    So I'm having problems booting an Ubuntu USB (20.04.03 LTS) onto my old Macbook Air running Mint Uma.

    I'm either using the wrong boot key or something is wrong with my boot loader or BIOS?

    I've tried used the Boot Loader tool to fix grub to no avail.

    Would appreciate info on a functional USB boot command or help with fixing the boot process (?) if necessary.

    GRUB doesn't show up with Dual Boot?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 06:33 AM PST

    I have a Windows 10 HP laptop. It already had Ubuntu on it dual booting, which I uninstalled and installed Linux Mint 20.3 instead. The issue is, the GRUB menu never showed up. Neither on Ubuntu, nor on Mint. It boots directly into Windows. Fast Startup is disabled, secure boot is disabled.

    These are the solutions I tried, none of which worked...

    • Holding SHIFT during boot.
    • Using yannubuntu's Boot Repair (showed an error).
    • Going into /etc/default/grub, changing GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE to menu & GRUB_TIMEOUT to 10. I did sudo update-boot after that.
    • Went into Windows, open CMD with admin privileges, entered bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi as well as bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi.
    • Went into HP BIOS to try and do something from there. Pressing enter on the OS Boot doesn't show up anything.

    I have checked the EFI partition from Windows and \efi\ubuntu\ does exist, if that helps.

    What I'm doing now is pressing F9 during boot in order to bring the "HP Bootloader", from where I can boot into Mint. Would be preferable if GRUB worked though, any ideas?

    What's the "best" distro for my system out of the ones I have tried, maximizing performance (maybe some gaming) without losing stability, considering I am new to Linux.

    Posted: 29 Jan 2022 05:24 AM PST

    Hello, new soon to be Linux user here :D

    I left Win11 last week since it got really annoying and have since been distrohopping like crazy, without actually getting anything done.

    I am looking for a way to use my PCs "power" that i bought not too long ago without having to fix it every week or so, but I am willing to learn.
    Another problem I have is a pretty low internet speed, so a 1GB download every day or so would really hurt my experience.

    My System:
    Intel Core i7-9000 @ 3GHz x 8
    Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super
    16 GB Ram

    So far I have tried the following (mind you, for a few hours per distro that is):

    - Pop!_OS: Installed and ran fine, but there are certain tiny bugs once in a while that get annoying. The Pop-Shop and some other programs were unresponsive here and there, I couldn´t change wallpaper until I rebooted, etc. Maybe I'll wait for their new DE.

    -Zorin: Somewhat similar to Pop!_OS, though i had far less problems yet, but it seems to be a bit behind in updates? I don´t need my system to be on the edge but fairly up-to-date would be nice. I really like the look of it though and all seems really beginner friendly. I read from some users that it can become buggy as well, so that kind of irks me.

    - Fedora: Had a higher learning curve for me, needing to install and tweak a lot of things manually first until all worked. I had a good experience afterwards, but I am somewhat scared that I'll run into a problem sometime that i won´t find a fix for, since fedora is kind of it's "own thing". Most tutorial videos or posts I found were either for Arch- or ubuntu-based distros and the Wikis sometimes don´t give me right solution to a specific problem, or I just don´t know exactly what problem I have to look up to begin with.

    -Manjaro Gnome/KDE: I haven´t actually installed (just as a Live-USB) this one since I have read alot of posts about breaking the system if updates are not done regularly, or even too often. What would be a good "update schedule" for it, and about how much data per said time would that amount to?

    -Garuda: To be honest, it's a bit too much for me with all the "RBG-Gamer" appearence, and it has small community so far (for potential problem-solving), but I heard it is great at utilizing RAM for a faster and smoother workflow/ gaming? Though the problems of potential breaking and high update frequenzy might remain (like every Arch system I guess)?

    -ubuntu: Snaps take so long to boot and instead of "de-Snapping" it I might as well choose different.

    -Linux Mint: Does not boot from Ventoy for me, i just get a black screen with a few colored pixels in the top left corner, unresponsive to all input.

    ​

    Do you have a recommendation for me on what to use out of these or even a totally different one?

    Thank you all in advance

    Manually saving files to preferred location
