| What distro to install on this low notebook? Posted: 15 Aug 2016 03:38 PM PDT It's an ASUS Seashell Series 1215B: First of all, NO, I did not buy it, i don't buy low-range laptops, got it as a gift. It'll just be used for browsing, coding and college stuff (pdfs, office). Windows 7 didn't shine so well on it, opening google goes to 100% CPU. So, I'm wondering, what distro to install? Something very light that can work for these simple things. [link] [comments]  |

| So I deleted my Linux partition including grub2 Posted: 15 Aug 2016 04:31 PM PDT [SOLVED] I needed the space on my hard drive. I run a dual boot with grub2 Ubuntu and windows 7. So stupidly I used gparted and just deleted the whole ex4 partition. Now when I reboot I get a grub recovery prompt. I have a live USB OS with Ubuntu. I need some help. My overall goal is to install a windows boot loader or even grub. I only use Windows and will continue using Linux through a live usb. So what I'm trying to say is what's the best way going about this and what should I do. Thanks in advance! Edit: thanks alot for the help everyone [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2016 11:16 PM PDT So I've gotten to the pacman mirror list following a guide for installation, but when I go to the next step, I can't enter a command and only get "pattern not found". I can't seem to get the command line back up and am stuck on the mirror list. I'm fairly confident that it's a shortcut key that I just don't know as I'm inexperienced and any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Edit: Updated a Word [link] [comments]  |
| what laptops do you run linux on? what are your personal favorites? Posted: 15 Aug 2016 06:31 PM PDT I'm looking to buy a new laptop for school, so I'm currently looking at laptops to buy, and I've been turning to outdated threads(that I could find), so I was wondering what your favorites are.

| Posted: 15 Aug 2016 09:20 PM PDT I'm trying to set up a Git repository that will sync with a local machine every X seconds, and allow the local machine to push new files to the repo every X seconds. This is what I have so far: http://pastebin.com/wG100chv but I'm getting "./Git Sync: line 10: syntax error: unexpected end of file" as an error. I'm not quite sure what to do here [link] [comments]  |

| USB2 actions freeze up all USB2 devices Posted: 15 Aug 2016 08:15 PM PDT I can't find this with Google. I just upgraded my motherboard from ATX to eATX--an MSI X99A SLI Plus to a Gigabyte GA-X99-UD5 Wifi--and now every time a USB2 device does anything at all, every USB2 device freezes. If I plug in an SD card to my USB2 card reader (plugged into one of the motherboard's USB2 headers), my mouse and keyboard (which are plugged into the USB2 slots in the back) freeze for a second. If I transfer files from that SD card, the transfer runs at normal speed but my USB input... stutters. Like, for about 50% of every 1/10 of a second, my input is ignored. It makes my mouse seem like it has lower sensitivity and eat most of the clicks I try to click. I've had this problem on both of the 2 kernel versions I've run on this mobo so far, 4.6 and 4.7. I did not have this problem on the old motherboard and do not have this problem with any USB3 devices at all. So, I could work around this by never using my USB2 ports and only using them for that card reader. But that's a lot of USB real estate I'm missing out on. Another issue that might be related is with my Windows virtual machine (QEMU/KVM). I have a USB3 PCIe card that I pass into it, and an IOGEAR KVM switch for my mouse and keyboard that's plugged into it. Only with this new motherboard (with no other software or hardware change to my system), despite the card's ports working fine if just one device is plugged in, things get really weird with the KVM switch. The switch has 4 USB2 ports, and I use them for keyboard, mouse, microphone, and drawing tablet. No matter which ones are plugged into which ports, the keyboard always gets power, the mouse and microphone never get power, and the tablet gets power randomly (it switches on and off at a whim). When something has power, it works fine. [link] [comments]  |
| How to install Launchpad (Bazaar) branch Posted: 15 Aug 2016 08:00 PM PDT I was looking into installing this branch of Plank on my 16.04 machine, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. There are no "recipes" using this particular branch, and I don't have any experience with launchpad. Could anyone point me to some instructional help? [link] [comments]  |
| How to activate Anti-tearing in Ubuntu Mate 16.04? I'm using AMD A6-6310 Posted: 15 Aug 2016 06:37 PM PDT I'm fairly new in Linux. Recently I installed my laptop with Ubuntu Mate 16.04. After installing it, whenever I tried playing a video I'm always got a screen tearing. I'm always annoyed by this because I'm watching videos on my laptop VERY often. I am trying to install Catalyst (for the sole purpose of activating anti-tearing) but unfortunately they didn't provide it anymore. So my question is: How do I configure the AMD open source driver (amdgpu/radeon) to activate the anti-tearing? By the way my laptop is Lenovo G40-45, coming with AMD QuadCore A6 6310-2.0Ghz Turbo 2.4Ghz, Radeon R4 Mullins Graphics. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2016 12:26 PM PDT I've set up a headless Debian box as a media server. How the heck do I go about backing it up? Optimally, I'm looking for something that copy all changes once a day to a second HDD (Something like Carbon Copy for OSX). And, of course, it has to be something that works from the command line.

| Fastest way to erase hard drives for encryption? Posted: 15 Aug 2016 02:19 PM PDT I plan on encrypting two external 1TB USB drives with LUKS however dd-ing with zeroes will take forever. Is there a way faster command that securely erases the drives? [link] [comments]  |
| What software do you use to create a bootable USB stick Posted: 15 Aug 2016 10:33 AM PDT I'm looking to upgrade from Mint 17.3 to 18 but Unetbootin doesn't seem to work. [link] [comments]  |
| Question about certificate authenticated internet connections. Posted: 15 Aug 2016 05:41 PM PDT I have an old netbook I have been getting life out of with a lightweight distro on it, but my school's internet requires that we sign in with with a certificate. As far as I know, android, iOs, Windows, Mac, and even blackberry all are supported by our school's system, but there is no love for Linux unfortunately. I'm wondering, is there a way to get around this without too much legwork? I tried using Wine to connect, and it didn't work. I also tried to just download the Windows and Mac certificates and use them anyway, but no luck. Kind of an odd question, and I'm not sure I've asked it well, but I'd be really grateful if anyone cane help me. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2016 11:40 AM PDT Consider: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/dh.1.html A long build process for a separate documentation package can be separated out using architecture independent overrides. These will be skipped when running build-arch and binary-arch sequences. How do I do this when starting my first pass for arch-dependent? My rules file: So far, I documented the way to go about this here: https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/documents/blob/master/Debian/arch-and-indep-target.md Please let me know what else I can read up on, or note where I can improve my understanding of this.

| Posted: 15 Aug 2016 05:28 PM PDT I have already installed Ubuntu and formatted it under EXT4. I also set up a RAID5 Array with 5 500GB HDD's. Can I install Windows 10 normally, or do I have to reformat/free up a disk for the installation? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Ubuntu and i3wm on MBP is causing weird resolution changes Posted: 15 Aug 2016 02:23 PM PDT So I recently set up my macbook pro to have a ubuntu partition, which is running i3-gaps. Whenever I log in for the first time, the UI gets really large, like this. However, if I log out of i3 and log back in, it changes back to normal size, like this. Can anyone help me stop it from changing to the large size? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Slow tar-per-file magnetic tape write Posted: 15 Aug 2016 01:51 PM PDT Howdy. I typically perform client spec-based tape archives. We've used 1 tar for entire entire tapes and life has been grand. Recently, a client requested a sorted, tar-per-file tape. There were around 30,000 files. I thought it through and just threw together the following: This resulted in an (understandable) really long tape write as the tape had to stop and start. 2TB of data wrote in around 4 days vs the 3-4 hours it typically takes when writing just 1 tar file. Is there a way to improve this tar-per-file tape write performance? The client really wants each file as a separate file (and I understand why) but I don't think that I'm doing it in the most efficient manner. [link] [comments]  |
| (Help) Installing Windows 10 AFTER installing Linux Posted: 15 Aug 2016 12:48 PM PDT So I installed Linux, stressful I might add. I kept getting some issue with amd64 signed thing after install and said it wouldn't boot. So I deleted all of Windows and installed Linux fine after. My guess is Linux doesn't like to be installed on a drive with the Efi flag. Anyway, can I safely install Windows 10 into 50GB of my main drive without losing Linux? I'm curious because of the issues I faced from installing Linux in the first place. I have fastboot in bios disabled, can I enable that and use Linux? Also can I make the grub bootloader require a button to press on startup to select OS to boot? [link] [comments]  |
| Which SSDs support queued TRIM and aren't blacklisted? Posted: 15 Aug 2016 06:44 PM PDT I was looking at getting a Samsung 850 series SSD but I discovered that there was a corruption bug in the kernel which resulted in the 850s being blacklisted from enabling queued trim. Apparently even though the bug was fixed they are still blacklisted. And since queued trim gives better performance than synchronous trim I would like to get something that supports it.

| Lubuntu graphics are messed up when running from live media. Posted: 15 Aug 2016 10:31 AM PDT Whenever I run Lubuntu from a USB stick on my computer, some parts of the screen (like images, text entry boxes, etc.) are separated into bars. Sometimes I can hardly see what I'm typing. How do I fix this?? [link] [comments]  |
| How to have a keyboard-centric setup? Posted: 15 Aug 2016 11:29 AM PDT I'm going to be running Linux on a laptop and I hate using the trackpad and want to be able to use (most of) it using only the keyboard, preferably with vim keyboard shortcuts since im also learning the editor. What keyboard-centric alternatives are available for common programs? Best tiling WM? Program plugins or extensions that allow keyboard control? [link] [comments]  |
| What are the best Linux-based Media PC options?

| Posted: 15 Aug 2016 07:12 AM PDT I have a program that spits out terrible, and useless log information. But I have come to the conclusion that it is not running properly because it's trying to bind a port, that is either A) already bound or B) trying to bind on something that isn't a port number. I am running into a brick wall when trying to find information regarding this. Is there a way to monitor for attempted socket creation attempts? I'm am not seeing anything in syslog, or any other log for that matter regarding the attempt for this process to open a socket on what ever port number it's trying to do it on. Or is this something that only this process knows about? I can clarify if my question is confusing. [link] [comments]  |
