    Scripting - kill and start same app

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 03:55 AM PDT

    I am trying to write a simple script, and it start to drive me crazy.

    I want to kill a process and start an app. The thing is that it is the same app that just had been killed.

    The idea behind this, is to have 2 scripts that loads "toto" with differents args, so that they don't run simultanously.

    ​

    Here is the script "kill_toto.sh"

    ​

    #!/bin/bash if pgrep toto; then pkill toto; fi toto -args &

    ​

    The only feedback I got when starting script is

    $ ./kill_toto.sh 7148 Completed

    It seems that the linge 2 is executed, but the ligne 3 never start.

    FI, My command "toto -args &" is working correctly if I start it on a terminal.

    ​

    Thanks in advance

    Pop_OS Alternative?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2022 03:30 AM PDT

    I'm trying to make the transition to Linux to use it as my work-only environment as I try to learn some code and web dev. I considered using a VM but that might just defeat the purpose of a distraction-free zone, right?

    My desktop has two drives, so cleared out the second one and went looking for a distro to put on it. To keep simple, I opted for a Ubuntu-based distro to make any troubleshooting easier, if necessary. Ubuntu itself seemed a little bloated but I really liked what I saw from Pop OS, as it came with less software, and I specially dug the tiling and the functionality they had with the Super (Windows) key.

    I installed Pop_OS (grabbing the nvidia LTS version as I have a 1070) but it feels surprisingly laggy. Firefox, without add-ons, took longer to launch than on Windows (with numerous extensions). Even the LiveUSB and installer felt laggy, taking a second or two to register my inputs as I clicked through it. (I should have known then but thought that was just a USB issue)

    To check if I needed to go for an lighter distro, I tried out the other mid-range I was had decided on: MX Linux. I haven't even installed it yet but it feels SO MUCH snappier and responsive just on LiveUSB. It even detected my usb-wifi adapter automatically (With Pop_OS, I had to turn an old router into an ethernet bridge with Windows first and then grab a driver from github)

    Before I wipe the drive and install MX Linux, are there any recommendations for getting Pop_OS to run better? Or another distro with similar functionality (tiling, super key)?

    TLDR: Installed PopOS, felt laggy. Tried MX Linux Live USB, felt snappy. Looking for something to make PopOS snappier or a way to get the same optional tiling & superkey functionality

    Thinkpad crashes/freezes and then reboots on docking. [Wayland on ZorinOS]

    Please help me make sense of my disk partitions. I have dual boot Windows/Manjaro. Want to switch to Windows/EndeavorOS

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 11:36 PM PDT

    So here is a snapshot my disk: https://i.imgur.com/2IPPcPq.png

    I don't know how I can have so many recovery partitions. What I would like to do is have Windows installed and running on Disk 0 and EndeavorOS installed on Disk 1.

    Currently, Disk 0 has both Windows and Manjaro installed on it.

    I would back-up the Yoda (D) partition into my NAS so I have no problem deleting the entire disk. What I am most worried about is that I will delete the bootloader/grub and I won't be able to log into Windows anymore. What is the safest way for me to delete Manjaro, and perform a clean install of EndeavorOS without risking my Windows installation?

    Thanks!

    Grub error while installing Arch

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 07:40 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I've tried to install Arch Linux multiple times but I've been running into the same error every time. After following the installation process and installing grub, I am met with the following grub error upon reboot:

    error: verification requested but nobody cares: (hd1,gpt2)/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod. Entering rescue mode...

    I've tried troubleshooting this elsewhere online, and I made sure that Secure Boot was disabled, but I haven't been able to find any other solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Having trouble setting up a development environment, and trying to wrap my head around the relationships between XAMPP / LAMP / WAMP

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 10:30 PM PDT

    Build: Ryzen 5900x / 64GB / LMDE 4

    I've been on Windows until this year, and used WAMP for all my local development work (primarily websites, and most of those are OS CMS). On Windows, I understand that WAMP creates a virtual server running Apache / MySQL (Maria) / PHP to run and tests sites locally. One of the nice things about WAMP is that I could switch configurations fairly easily (eg PHP 5.3 vs 5.4 vs 7.4, and then the corresponding MySQL and Apache versions) to emulate whatever server the site I'm working on has - great for major upgrade testing.

    I was excited about going over to Linux since that server stack seemed to be more built in. I figured I'd start with XAMPP to make the management a little easier. You know, baby steps. My understanding after struggling for awhile is that XAMPP is actually two separate entities that need to be started: the main application (which then controls the *AMP stack) and an optional GUI element ( https://i.imgur.com/uJP3GAg.png ). Have run into a host (ha!) of problems / questions since:

    1. The GUI can be closed by hitting the 'x' in the corner of the window, but otherwise there's no quit / exit / close anywhere else within the interface and no quit commands listed in the docs I could find. If I CTRL - C in the terminal window, the GUI goes away, the servers are still running. At this point...is XAMPP still active? If so, how do I close / quit XAMPP? I created aliases, would be great to add one to shut it off too but after a few hours I'm not sure what that would look like in the terminal.
    2. I generally get how WAMP works on Windows, but what is XAMPP actually doing on Linux?
    3. Is there an easy way of switching versions through the GUI? Or does that have to be done manually within the configuration files? The GUI doesn't even list PHP, and has no mechanism for switching...it must be working but there's a lot that seems blackboxed.
    4. I get that LAMP is essentially baked into Linux for the most part...but there's an information gap between using and setting up a dev environment. Does anyone have a good quickstart guide? Is there an easy way of managing the entire stack with respect to changing the versions of PHP / MySQL / Apache? Those seemingly simple steps are just sapping my energy and time.

    Thanks!

    New linux user on old iMac

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 01:42 PM PDT

    Just wanted to create a thread with my difficulties and successes in running Ubuntu on my 2011 iMac 21.5" 2.8ghz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. I am a videographer and use my Windows PC for video editing primarily with Adobe Premiere Pro. It is not a very beefy PC by any means and does not have good graphics for video editing. I bought my iMac in 2011 when it came out and beefed everything up when ordering it. It was perfect for my video editing needs back then, but when FCP starting to go downhill, I moved over to Windows and using Adobe and let my iMac gather dust in the closet. I have installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 on my iMac and plan on installing and using kdenlive as my video editing software.

    How do I write professional looking documents without a Word Processor or LaTeX?

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 01:08 AM PDT

    I want to write my CV and a school project as a PDF, and while I could do it in LibreOffice, I'd prefer something like LaTeX, where I can write the file in vim. I thought LaTeX was the perfect choice, until I noticed it is very restricted in how you style your document, infact, you can't even change the font size to an arbitrary value without additional packages. Is there any tool that can generate good looking PDFs, that allows me to style my documents however I want?

    Edit: I think I'll stick to LaTeX for now, thanks to you all for the help!

    Kernal compatibility with Intel 12th gen's P and E cores?

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 03:07 PM PDT

    My cpu recently went kaputt, and as a replacement I'm planning to go with a core i5 12600 and a B660 mobo. As you know, Microsoft is using this as an opportunity to force Win11 on people by not updating Win10, so that Win10 effectively ends up ignoring the E-cores on the CPU. I fucking despise Win11 and would rather switch to Linux than """upgrade""" to Win11. This will also be a nice opportunity for me to get away from the godforsaken MS Edge.

    I've done a fair bit of research and narrowed my search down to Linux Mint and Kubuntu. From what I have found, only the latest version of the Linux kernal (5.18) supports both P and E cores on intel 12th gen CPUs, yet many guides for versions of these distros as late as Kubuntu 22.04 show them running on older kernal versions.

    My question henceforth is whether I can get away with using the older kernal version that comes with the latest version of the distro while maintaining the superb intel 12th gen multithreaded performance, or if not then can I update the kernal without too much of a headache? I am an absolute Linux beginner.

    If you would like to recommend to me alternative distros then my requirements are very simple: top notch driver/emulator support, looks almost identical gui to windows 10 (or at least can be relatively easily made to look like so, I just love the windows 10 looks and feels), and of course easy to setup for someone who never touched a Linux machine before.

    My hardware will go as follows:

    Core i5-12600

    B660 mobo

    RTX 2060 Super MSI ventus OC (Yes yes bad Nvidia but I like Metro Exodus EE so I sucked up and paid the RTX tax)

    Samsung 970 Evo 1tb

    WD something 1tb (also M.2 NVMe)

    ASUS MG279Q main display

    iiyama prolie E2208HDS (secondary display, photo of the setup before the CPU died)

    Lenovo z50-70 on Arch Linux with 4th gen i7 is unusually slow

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 05:53 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I am running Arch Linux with the latest KDE Plasma version on a Lenovo Ideapad z50-70 with an Intel Core i7-4510U @ 2.1000 GHz and 8 GB of RAM and Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4400. I've run Arch Linux on this machine for about 9 months now, changing DEs every now and then but usually using KDE Plasma. Before this, I had run KDE Plasma in 2020 on Kubuntu, EndeavourOS and Manjaro, and I have also run Windows 10 on this.

    Ever since about December 2021, I've noticed that the machine has been incredibly slow. Compared to Windows it performs awfully off of an install following the Arch Wiki. On Windows I had 2 browsers (Ungoogled Chromium and Brave) open, each with their own Discord, YouTube and new-design Reddit tabs open and it'd perform fairly decently. On KDE, it can barely have 1 browser open with Discord and a YouTube of about 100 videos (YouTube is mostly in the background though and I do run an Audio Only Extension which in theory should reduce the resources used) - adding another browser to the mix is impossible, and new-design Reddit drags it to a crawl. Animations also have noticeable lag in spite of setting the compositor to force the smoothest animations possible, ensuring it used OpenGL for the rendering backend, etc.. It was never this slow on any other OS - Windows 10 or Kubuntu.

    Running htop, I've noticed that the issue seems to be the CPU. The RAM usage is fine and doesn't tend to exceed 2 GB or so, the temperature generally hovers around 60-70 C checking from KDE's monitor, and turning on/off hardware acceleration for my browser (Ungoogled Chromium still) made only a small difference. Whenever I do an intensive task, such as switching Discord channels or clicking another video in my YouTube playlist or even just opening a new tab and searching something on either Google or DuckDuckGo, the CPU threads all spike to at least 70-80% and oftentimes 100%. When idling, the CPU usage is relatively low - no more than 10-15% and often less than 5%.

    The CPU itself is mostly used by Ungoogled Chromium. In particular, the /usr/lib/chromium/chromium --type=renderer --display-capture-permissions-policy-allowed --change-stack-guard-on-fork=enable --lang=en-US --num-raster-threads=2 --enable-main-frame-before-activation --renderer-client-id=11 --launch-time-ticks=96546250 --shared-files=v8_context_snapshot_data:100 --field-trial-handle=0,i,8952165926558151528,8157417337735563184,131072 --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder process is what tends to use the most CPU. When I run chromium from the command line, it does say that [1380:1380:0603/221843.998184:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(791)] vaQueryConfigEntrypoints failed, VA error: the requested VAProfile is not supported which shows evne though I do enable the flag to override the software rendering list and chrome://gpu shows that video decode is hardware accelerated (though not encode, which is software only). ATM I do run 8 extensions - Audio Only Youtube, Chromium Web Store, Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller, enhanced-264ify, Less-Addictive-Youtube, Plasma Integration, Proxy SwitchyOmega, and uBlock Origin. All of these are things I cannot do without except the enhanced-264ify which I only am using for the purpose of trying to optimize performance. This is about the number of extensions I'd run on other OSes (usually those ran 1-2 less though).

    I've noticed that other DEs - most noticeably MATE and LXQt - don't slow down nearly as much as KDE does when these tasks are performed. That being said, the CPU still spikes quite a lot, and while it does perform acceptably with basic tasks it can't handle as much as the machine could when it ran Windows 10. Either way, I'd still much prefer KDE Plasma to these and would only use other DEs if I absolutely had to for various usability reasons.

    In terms of performance optimizations, I've done the following:

    • Turned the CPU mitigations off in GRUB. I'm aware of the dangers of doing this but I'm quite desparate. Performance improved noticeably when I did this - it was basically unusable before.

    • Turned the CPU governor to performance. This did help a decent bit but not by much and I'd rather not have to rely on this.

    • Switched graphics drivers - of which iHD surprisngly put up the best performance in spite of being the wrong driver and mpv --hwdec=auto not working which implies to me that hardware acceleration may be harming this and not helping. ATM I use i965 in spite of hybrid supposedly being the one for my machine, and I set the LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME env var to use it specifically in /etc/environment.

    • Tried different kernels. linux-zen used less CPU but was slower in turn and performance was noticeably worse, and the unsupported linux-clear noticeably improved speed but not by enough to support the workloads that I'd want.

    • Tried an extension to use different codecs in Chromium. There's frankly little difference, though VP8 seems to be the best overall.

    • Tried an extension to prevent the video stream from loading in YouTube. This did not do much surprisingly.

    • Tried Wayland, it made animations somewhat smoother but did nothing else.

    • Tried changing the KDE Compositor settings to force the smoothest animations, which frankly did almost nothing. I also set it to prefer lower latency and that actually sped things up a little bit but again not by anything substantial.

    • Tried running profile-cleaner for Chromium for the first time since using the machine, which frankly did nothing in terms of performance.

    • Tried disabling zswap, helped a small but noticeable amount - Tried ananicy-cpp which seemed to have helped too

    At this point I'm convinced that either this machine just isn't up to the tasks I want to run, or from what I've heard asking in a few Discords that KDE Plasma is not properly optimized for this machine (which I'm not sure is the case seeing that MATE and LXQt still don't do great). Either way, this is quite bizarre considering that other Linux distros worked just fine without different kernels, mitigations off, etc. and Windows 10 worked well in spite of it generally being heavier, so I think it might be something else.

    Please let me know what I can do to fix this performance, including posting any other system information I can get. Thank you very much!

    Help installing a PCIe SATA HBA on debian bullseye.

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 03:56 PM PDT

    I am currently running openmediavault on top of debian 11 on an old AMD A6 rig that was handed down to me. I ended up soaking up the 6 SATA ports on the mobo and grabbed a cheap HBA from [Amazon](FebSmart PCIE to 4-Ports SATA 3.0 6Gbps Max Speed Expansion Card for PCs, Servers, NAS-Plug and Play on Windows, MAC OS, Linux System-ASMedia ASM1064 Non-Raid PCIE 3.0 SATA Controller (FS-S4-Pro) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LW3XXYG/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_K6HTA88CDCPZM1XFN8E8)

    After installing it in a random PCIe slot it is recognized but I cannot see additional disks I have connected in OMV. In debian CLI I can see the card using lspci -v and it is using AHCI kernel drivers/modules.

    Will this card even work with my system? Im not sure where to begin. Any help is appreciated.

    Zorin OS: Should I choose XFCE, KDE or GNOME?

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 03:31 PM PDT

    I have a laptop, which I use for my software engineering highschool. I quickly realised that the stuff I need for school (coding, office 365) are all available on Linux, in which case I would like to use Zorin, except office is only available online, but I don't really care about that plus I can use it on a VM. A school friend uses Zorin which made me want to also go with Zorin instead of win11 (he told me to use GNOME but I wasn't really sure about that, which also is why I'm asking you guys, lol)

    System rebooting while in sleep?

    Posted: 05 Jun 2022 03:30 PM PDT

    Hi All,

    I've been having a very weird issue with my system for a while. Whenever my laptop's been in sleep mode (lid closed) for a while (it seems to be only when it's been closed for a few hours), I'll open it up only to be presented with the luks prompt, meaning that it's rebooted itself while in sleep mode.

    I used to not have any swap, but I recently set up a swap file (12G for my 8G RAM) for hibernation. I've confirmed that hibernation works flawlessly, but for some reason, this issue persists. The output from journalctl doesn't seem to provide any useful info, I'll paste it here.

    pls help! Linux -> Microsoft

    Unfortunately I need to uninstall Ubuntu from my PC and switch over to Microsoft for programs that sadly arent made for Linux users (proprietary software). I already have a USB with the Microsoft OS on it, however I'm having issues wiping my drive. If anyone can please help me I would greatly appreciate it!

    p.s. I plan to dual boot in the future, I just need to get Microsoft OS asap for work.

    Internet speed really slow on MX Linux.

    Network: Device-1: Realtek RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet driver: r8169 Device-2: Intel Wireless 3160 driver: iwlwifi Device-3: Ralink MT7601U Wireless Adapter type: USB driver: mt7601u

    I disabled bluetooth and the speed shot upto 16mbps only for some time. I cannot use Intel 3160 as I'm unable to install the drivers. /lib/firmware already had iwlwifi-3160-17.ucode in it.

    I tried a bunch of things but nothing seems to work so I'm using this USB enabled WiFi but it's speed is way too slow. It should be around 30mbps (down) but all I'm getting is 4-5mbps (down). Other devices just work fine with this adapter. 

    I used fast.com and speedtest-cli to determine the internet speed.

    Any advice would be much appreciated. TIA.
