    What is secure boot? Do I need to turn it off while installing Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 11:51 PM PST

    I am trying to dual boot Windows with Mint 20.3 Cinnamon, my laptop is just a year old and had windows 10 pre-installed. Do I need to turn off dual boot during installation? If yes then should it be turned on again after installation? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Ports Forwarding not working

    Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:21 AM PST

    I was trying to set up port forwarding for my jellyfin server & the port seemed to not open when i checked it in https://www.canyouseeme.org/

    So i ran nmap to find open ports & got this list & tried them on canyouseeme.org but got the same error message saying 'connection timed out'

    nmap -open 192.168.1.10
    Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-02-23 16:36 IST
    Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.10

    Firewall is turned off too.

    Did i miss anything or is my ISP blocking the ports?

    Second Monitor with a heavy green tint, but works fine on Windows

    Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:20 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I'm a Linux newbie and recently bought a second monitor. In Windows the monitor works fine with a HDMI cable, but on Linux it gets a heavy green tint, as if only the green channel of rgb is being displayed.

    Tried connection with a VGA cable, but although Ubuntu 21.10 recognizes that there is a second monitor, I get the message VGA No Signal on the second monitor.

    Anyone here knows something about it?

    EDIT: My second monitor is a Tronos TRS-HK19WY

    Btrfs, snapshots, and other partitioning stuff

    Posted: 23 Feb 2022 02:56 AM PST

    I wanna install fedora with btrfs and I have 2 drives

    one SSD and one HDD

    I want to set the partitions up properly to work with btrfs, benefit from snapshot features, and have some other things that I need.

    - I want every app I install to run on the SSD -whether it's an rpm, a flatpack, or anything- and my data to be stored on the HDD.

    - I want to be able to reinstall the os without having to worry about my data being erased and if possible I don't need to reset the same setup every time I reinstall or try a different distro

    ***

    I have a basic idea of how to do some of it as mounting my `/home` or any subdirectory to the HDD but this gives me the separate data part but I don't know if it gives me the rest of the things I want and I only tried it with ext4 and never tested the snapshot thing with it.

    How do you guys cope up with youtube watching on linux on relatively older cpu systems?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2022 02:05 AM PST

    • i'm on i3-3110m, powerful enough to get my work done (surfing, streaming)
    • had been on linux for few months but currently on windows mostly
    • want to use linux but video streaming (i stream @ 480p only) leads to high cpu usage.
    • tried varoius workarounds but i think this is a general problem with older cpus (while it isn't on windows)
    • most feasible workaround following right now is play with mpv but that isnt a complete solution- additional clicks for watching every video and other issues. but it limits the cpu usage

    How do you guys with older CPUs fix this issue?

    please do add your experiences and suggestions. thanks

    [Arch] Alacritty not displaying truecolor

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 09:19 PM PST

    I know it's not strictly Linux related but I'm not sure where else to post this, sorry. I have been in the process of configuring my setup including Alacritty but the colors for it look off. I'm using the one dark color scheme but the colors in the terminal don't quite match, specifically the yellow/orange looks like a dark brown. I read here that you can check if a terminal is using truecolor by using this command:

    printf "\x1b[38;2;255;100;0mTRUECOLOR\x1b[0m\n"

    If the terminal is using truecolor, it should print TRUECOLOR in red but for me it prints it in dark orange.

    GRUB rescue

    Posted: 23 Feb 2022 12:42 AM PST

    Hi!

    So I was trying to install Debian 11 on dual boot with Windows 10, though I ended up with some unexpected things (the track pad was not working, WiFi adapter issues) and I did not have the time nor mood to fix it so I did stupid and deleted Debian partitions trough Windows Disk Manager. Now I assume some things from Debian were not deleted, and stayed on perhaps Windows EFI partition.

    I have found some of fixes that I might try later, but since I would like to have this laptop on dual boot with Linux of some sort, I reckon if I did another installation, perhaps Ubuntu, if it would fix the issue of GRUB prompt I get on startup. It's not severe issue, just kind of annoying for every startup I have to type 'exit' for it to boot into Windows.

    Should though clean installation fix this?

    Thanks.

    Will my integrated gpu be used to it’s full potential when using KVM/Qemu?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 11:55 PM PST

    I'm going to buy an apu system (5700g) soon until i can get my hands on a discrete gpu.

    I'm planning to do some gaming through KVM and what i was wondering is will my integrated gpu be automatically set up by default or is there some tutorial on how to set it up properly to fully utilize it. I couldn't find good documentation online.

    Thank you in advance!

    ^@^@ on screen when shutting down

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 08:17 AM PST

    When shutting down/rebooting, sometimes characters like ^@^@ (it could be longer: ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@) shows up on the screen and most of the time, it stucks there for a few minutes.

    What could be the issue?

    I'm using Arch Linux x86_64 with the 5.16.10-zen1-1-zen kernel and KDE + SDDM.

    Here is an image of it:

    Command `notify-send UPTIME "$(uptime -p)"` is giving the incorrect output when launched as a keyboard shortcut but the same command is working correctly from terminal

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 11:20 PM PST

    ​

    $(uptime -p)

    I have bound this command to a keyboard shortcut and unfortunately, it is not working as I want it to work. When I run the same command notify-send UPTIME "$(uptime -p)" from the terminal the output is the total uptime formatted.

    Thank you.

    Use secondary login password to trigger selfdestruct

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 11:37 PM PST

    I want to set a second password for my user account that would trigger some custom hooks/run scripts when entered.

    Use cases: If I want to start working outside of regular working hours, this would tell my device to start my work apps or If I feel compromised, I could run some scripts zeroing out data on my device.

    I have considered using secondary account that would run hooks on its login but that sounds inconvenient and does not cover all my needs.

    Is it possible to do this?

    Help - Learning to write bash scripts?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 11:31 AM PST

    I'm having trouble putting together bash scripts. I've watched a few videos on how to do it and now I want to practice.

    I'm starting with super simple stuff, (at least, I assume it's simple) so I can get a feel for it. But I don't know how to find the commands that would be relevant to things I want to do. Also, std in, std out, std err are still confusing as hell to me, even after all the videos I've watched.

    Any really good recommendations or walkthroughs yall know of?

    My simple project right now is writing a bash script for connecting to wifi, where I have the credentials stored in a text file. Say, in the use of Tails, if I don't want to enable wifi persistent storage so I don't give out any known SSIDs every time I log in, but I hate typing out a password every time. [I know, this isn't Particularly useful, however, it's something that would be good practice for me.]

    Any pointers? How to start looking in the right direction?

    Seeking advice for finding a basic, portable Linux laptop that stays cool and quiet.

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 03:26 PM PST

    I'm looking into buying a new laptop to run Linux on, but I'm frustrated by past experiences with laptops that:

    • Burn up the CPU even when under light load (literally just running GNOME with nothing open is enough) which is hot, loud, and chews through battery life like it's nothing (even with TLP)
    • Have issues with drivers (e.g. wifi cutting out, hibernate doesn't work, touchpad stops working on wake, audio hum)
    • Are really underpowered

    I really like the look of the Framework laptop, but a lot of the reviews point out that the laptop gets hot and loud on linux, which I'd rather avoid.

    I just want something that does the basics well with no fancy frills. I don't need a dedicated GPU or a high-refresh rate 4k OLED touch screen or RGB. What I do need decent multi-threaded performance (I'm thinking a Ryzen 5500U or better) and lots of RAM (32 GB preferable, 16 workable) for programming with docker.

    At this point, the laptop which is checking most of my boxes is the M1 Macbook Air... but I'd rather not buy into the walled garden of Apple if I don't have to; and Asahi Linux just isn't close to meeting my needs yet.

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

    laptop is running hot after switching from windows to ubuntu

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 04:31 AM PST

    specs:

    • XPS 15 7590
    • Intel® Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz × 12
    • Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU
    • 16GB RAM
    • Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

    switched from windows last week and have noticed a drop in battery life and a massive increase in temperature when running tasks.. before I could run an emulator in android studio with multiple tabs open( sleeping tabs in edge usually)

    now I run a couple of tabs in firefox and the laptop is burning hot with the fans running loudly.

    • I installed tlp, but I'm not sure what, if anything, it's doing right now.
    • running 'top' in the terminal, doesn't show too much.. the highest processes are below 10%.
    • currently only the intel GPU is running so shouldn't be a problem here?

    running 'sensors' gives me this:

    ucsi_source_psy_USBC000:001-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter in0: 5.00 V (min = +5.00 V, max = +5.00 V) curr1: 0.00 A (max = +0.00 A) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +82.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 0: +81.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 1: +81.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 2: +82.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 3: +80.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 4: +81.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 5: +81.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) pch_cannonlake-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +71.0°C BAT0-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface in0: 12.37 V curr1: 3.11 A iwlwifi_1-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +57.0°C dell_smm-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device fan1: 4933 RPM fan2: 4915 RPM nvme-pci-3d00 Adapter: PCI adapter Composite: +40.9°C (low = -0.1°C, high = +81.8°C) (crit = +84.8°C) Sensor 1: +40.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C) Sensor 2: +43.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C) acpitz-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface temp1: +25.0°C (crit = +107.0°C)

    (I've just turned the laptop on.. it's charging currently so I'm sure that makes a difference, but it shouldn't be this hit from essentially start up)

    I'm really new to linux so detailed explanations would be amazing if anyone knows?

    Thanks so much!

    Is there a way to make use of Ubuntu's hardware drivers on other distros?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 06:12 PM PST

    I have a USB peripheral switcher that I use to switch my keyboard and mouse between two computers. It works in Windows/MacOS/Ubuntu-based distros, but nowhere else.

    I'd really like to try running other distros but I don't want to have to buy another device (which may or may not work either).

    Is there a way to find out what driver it is using and then apply that driver for use in something like Fedora or OpenSUSE?

    Thanks!

    Here's the device in question:
