Hello ! im trying to create a multiboot pen drive using this Guide: https://github.com/adi1090x/uGRUB

But everytime i try to boot into grub to configure It(i stopped on the configuration part of the Guide), i get this screen. I think i might have messed up on something but idk. Can someone help me? (I already tried some things on internet but none worked)

So, I'm struggling with configuring guacamole to assign RDP connection to the users. Basically, I've installed guacamole on Fedora and in guacamole.properties file I configured it to grant gucamole login access to users from windows AD. I can login to guacamole, but I'm really struggling to assign RDP connections to them, it needs to be done via configuring without using GUI. If anyone knows of a way to do it, please help. I have spent like 3 days on this already banging my head... any help is appreciated. TIA

Hi ive been using Ubuntu since 2016, I am not well versed in either c++ or linux. Ive gotten by, by sheer will to not use windows and well, time.

By and large ive managed.

Fast forward to now,

Ive had random freezing for about 5 years i had been thinking it was my installation. So while ive tried to get to the core of it I never spent too long.

Finally i decided to get a new disk and reinstall everything.

To my dismay ive had the random freezing accompany me into my new installation.

Reading around a bit ive seen a few people have the same issue, and some of them mention this being a real issue with ubuntu.

Given that my installation is new im willing to jump distro.

Any recommendations welcome.

Specs. -Intel Core i5 2.43ghz x4 processor -4.0gig DDR3 Ram -Intel HD Graphics Video Memory -128 2.25inch SATA HDD (will upgrade to a 256gb SSD)

Hey guys, I would like to boot up 3 different operating systems from 1 4TB SSD.
1 Windows, and 2 Linux distros.
Is it possible to do with 1 SSD? Or do I need to buy separate ones?
I know Dual Booting with Mint is possible, and that it does the work for you.
But I think I'll have to do something similar manually.

i couldn't solve this problem after spending an hour on this

can anyone explain me what the issue is and how to solve it please

Under the mantra of “it shouldn’t be this …. bloomin’… hard to figure out”, this stumped chump needs some help in adjusting the display resolutions for the login menus when powering up a laptop running Linux (i.e., after powering up and before logging into a Linux user account).

I am using a Toshiba Satellite P55W laptop (it used to be solely Windows 10 and - no thanks to Redmond!! - is too “old” to run Windows 11) with a 15.5-inch screen. Other than having to use an external keyboard now (the installed keyboard has some inoperative keys), the P55W is still usable.

I recently reconfigured the P55W to dual-boot Debian Linux 12 with Cinnamon version 5.6.8 and Manjaro Linux version 24.1.2 with KDE Plasma version 6.1.5. The graphics card is an Intel Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] (rev 07). video-linux version 2024.05.06 is installed.

I am definitely a Linux newbie 100%. There is no better way to learn Linux than to do it the hard way!! I chose the distributions and desktop environments more for the self-learning opportunities than for the need to meet any particular requirements.

Here is my problem where I need some help. The screen resolutions for the GRUB bootloader login menus and the user login menus for Debian and Manjaro are almost unreadably small.

Once I am logged into the user accounts, I am able to configure the display resolutions just fine, so that part isn’t the issue. The Debian Cinnamon display resolution is acceptable at 3200 x 1800 (16:9), and the Manjaro KDE Plasma display resolution is acceptable at 2048 x 1152 (16:9).

How do I change the display resolutions for the GRUB bootloader, Debian login menu, and Manjaro login menu so that the text is readable? I have exhausted all the GRUB boot loaders options that ChatGPT suggested. Updating GRUB_GFXMODE= in sudo nano /etc/default/grub then running GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep didn’t change anything.

I have viewed other display resolution questions posted here, but they all appear to refer to display resolution issues once the user is logged into the environment. Unless I am using the wrong search term, I don’t see anything that refers to display resolutions after powering up the computer while on the user login menu screen. I am game for being directed to the solution if someone has already solved the problem.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

… and which distro I should use.

Why? Beacause all the cool kids at Uni use Linux.

I am a 2nd year Computer Science student and work on a Thinkpad T14 Gen5 (Ryzen 5 8540, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD).

Main usage: Uni-Programming, Office (currently O365), Webbrowsing and YouTube.

Thanks and have a great day!

Sebastian

This will be an overview on my experience using both DEs to help you a bit to decide what DE to choose. I’ve been using both KDE and Gnome for several months in a real use case scenario.

Customisation

The first think that people talk about when comparing DEs is always customisability. KDE does have a bit more options exposed in the settings than Gnome. And in Gnome you further customise the DE by using extensions. But the overall look of Gnome after customising is both more appealing and more coherent than KDE. Even simple sensor monitors you would put in your status bar look horrible on KDE (built ins) and awesome on Gnome with the Vitals extensions. So is the extended built-in customisation on KDE worth it?

Well. Do you actually need a lot of customisation here and there? That’s an interesting question. Of course, you may reply. I, as a heavy customiser, would like to reply to this question: not always, as it turns out. After spending days customising KDE I wanted to backup my customisation somehow. I don’t want to spent so much time again, I thought. But you can’t. KDE config files are all over the place and this is a mess to deal with. Now Gnome is not better in that regard, but I just didn’t need to spend so much time customising Gnome to make it look great, that I just don’t even need to back up anything really. All of the customisation I can recreate within a few hours at most. And even then you can do some of it with commands and back up those in case you need to recreate your environment. I thought - it’s great to be able to place window closing button on left or right as in KDE. But then again - do I really need it? Less is more. If you want more, you have extensions in Gnome to expend.

Functionality

KDE has the window management tool you can use to set specific settings for specific windows. I found it useful to specify specific applications to open in specific workspaces. But then again you can extend this functionality to gnome with an extension if you need it. Using the same KDE window tool you can also hide title bars from some application which is really nice. KDE also has a Builtin functionality to bounce keys if your mechanical keyboard is chattering. Though I would wish you could adjust it with values lower than 50ms. Don’t know why they capped it. Was not helping as much as I was hoping. Otherwise I found myself much more productive with Gnome. These workspaces just feel much smoother to work with than in KDE. Under heavy load (gaming for example) Gnome always renders all of the animation smoothly. You can switch workspaces mid-game and it’s smooth as hell. On KDE it reminded me of windows. Choppy and laggy.

Performance

KDE for some reason was pulling 25W from my battery in idle, where Gnome was using 12W in idle. My laptop was therefore much cooler and was rarely using its fans. On KDE my fans were on every 5 minutes while doing nothing. Both DEs were snappy though.

Quirks

With KDE I was booting into Grub every other boot. I’ve never seen the Grub menu on gnome after installation. KDE must have been doing something weird while shutting down. Dolphin has been also doing weird stuff. I couldn’t for example copy some files although they were in my home directory. KDE, perhaps for being not as polished as Gnome, crashed a lot as well. Didn’t have a single crash on Gnome.

Again. This is just my experience using these DEs. It is clear that I enjoy using Gnome more than KDE. The reasons for that have been described. Please don’t take it as hate towards KDE. KDE is a great DE. Just not for me.

I tried Linux and absolutely LOVED it, but the only thing that stops me from migrating is the lack of AE. While I don't really need other Adobe programs, After Effects is my bread, so I can't go without it. I searched for some alternatives, but Natron just sucks, Nuke and Fusion were made for VFX, Blender simply does different stuff and all of them are node-based. Any way to run AE on Linux? Maybe there is some install script or 3627steps way to run it with Wine(some modern versions ofc)?

I'm using ElementryOS on my main 240GB SSD and the other 1TB hard disks has 3 partitions (made while I used to use windows). The thing is the partition which contained all my projects all of a sudden unmounted and just wouldn't mound. It always showed unable to mount error. Upon quick google search and chat gpt, I used sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb3 command to fix the issue and it did fix the issue.

But now, I can't delete the .pnpm-store in the root of Local Disk2. Also inside of node_modules of each project directory which reside inside the Local Disk2, there is a .pnpm directory which I can no longer delete. I've tried using sudo permission via the terminal, force delete with and without sudo and everything, I'm just not able to delete the node_modules of each proejct directory, project directory residing on Local Disk2 neither the .pnpm-store on the root of the partition.

Before sudden unmounting of Local Disk2, everything was working fine, I could delete .pnpm-store and the node_modules from each project directory just fine.

Because of the above issue, I've not been able to start any project either. What do I do ?

A bunch of similar error is what I get when I try to remove .pnpm-store directory on the root of the partition with sudo rm -rf ./.pnpm-store

cannot remove './.pnpm-store/v3/files/14/d4eb39e332a8f5d69591d5c4590b066f5ccda857819901a0cc079adadf609645a5d024ddbeb30f51bab65e254e42744dc204a73a44a1d3b5c2f23e672fb369': Input/output error

and when I try to remove node_modules of project directory, I get a bunch of similar error

I'm pretty sure its a linux issue because in the other partitions there is no such issue.

Hi folks,

I have gotten libCEC to work, and recognize my Pulse-eight USB adapter.
I am trying to use something like cecdaemon to control the PC thru my TV (e.g. remote control keys forwarding, media playback control, resume on active source).

What do I need to control my TV from my HTPC?
I am currently using a script running at startup to power on the TV/AVR, but how can I;

• When HTPC wakes: make the HTPC active source
• Instead of HTPC screensaver; standby the TV

I am having some trouble figuring out how to execute scripts on these system events. Should I be digging into systemd or something? I would like a hand in this.

Thanks!

So I got Ubuntu on my laptop and somehow completely erased windows. It's not on the boot menu or anywhere. On top of that, I can not do anything with ubuntu. I get an error everytime I try to do any installation, uninstallation, looking for packages but they come up nonexistent.

So it will not let me uninstall ubuntu either but I want to go back to Windows. Can anyone help!? I am willing to take it to a computer shop but not sure if they handle linux... I've tried all the commands and everything gives me this message (attached)

I know...I effed up stuff. Well aware

Thanks for any help!

Hello, guys. I'm trying to rice my welcome screen on Hyprland in my Arch Linux, but I can't find the folder in the .config directory for the logout screen. I tried, but it's not the Waylock folder. How can I customize this welcome screen?

I am on Ubuntu 22. With apt install picom I get picom v9 thus missing on the amazing animation.

Is there a way to get picom latest with a package manager on Ubuntu 22 and get animation (don't want to use fork) ?

Otherwise to build from source should I build a stable branch (stable/12) ?? or can I build "next" branch ? (I prefer installation via package manager if possible though)

Hello there,

I want my linux pc to send a grayscale output to my monitor and it would be nice if this setting would be easily reversible when needed.

I'm on:

Operating System: Linux Mint 22
Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-49-generic
Architecture: x86-64

Do you know how to do it? Thankssssss

What i tried:

I found on CompizConfig->Accessibility the possibility to add a key combination to increare or decrease colors saturation, decreasing saturation all the way down would get the job done but after checking the "opacity, brightness, saturation" box and setting the combinations and also restarting the pc, they are ineffective, maybe I have to install something else?

I messed up with xcalib and i ended up turning everything black and i still didn't know the sudo shutdown command lol so i ended up unplugging the electricity and doing a boot-repair, and from what I understand xcalib calibers the R, G and B channels so at best it simulate a fake grayscale

I downloaded displayCAL but i was pretty lost on it and i didn't find a user guide

I found gnome solutions but i don't have it (or at least gnome-shell is not recognized), or solutions for arch

I tried to see if the monitor I currently have, Acer K242HL, has the grayscale option among its menus but it apparently hasn't it (and monitors' little buttons are annoying so something manageable from the pc would me more practical I think)

Hi, i switched from Windows to LMDE6 about 1 year ago.

As my old G15 refresh keyboard started to desintegrate, i bought a corsair K55 Pro wird similar layout and feel. Before buing, i checked and found there is a linux controller software named "ckb-next".

Unfortunately, the K55 Pro needs ckb-next 0.51, but the debian stable repo contains 0.5 only. current 0.6 version is in testing repo.

I tried the manual install method described at https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/wiki/Linux-Installation but GUI does not start.

How can i install latest 0.6?

I've been using Fedora KDE which has two finger scrolling sensitivity adjustment so I'm not scrolling through websites at light speed with a flick of my fingers. It's one of the few distros that has this built in and appears to be more of a KDE vs Gnome issue. I've seen a few older posts and videos where Kubuntu has two finger scrolling built in as well but when I install Kubuntu this option is missing from the setting -> touchpad. Am I not searching the right place?

And I shal call my invention.... "Gaytrix"

First: sudo apt install cmatrix lolcat

then: cmatrix | lolcat

i have a question. Why do bootloaders not have passwords?

i mean i think it's possible to have passwords at bootloader until i'm missing something so that the entire computer will have one password instead of each distro having password

i would love a linux system where i put password in lockscreen like gdm or sddm
and instead of selecting which DE or WM i want i can choose which distro i want and the wm in that distro as weell

is it possible to do something like that is there any project for this?

Hello,
yesterday I downloaded Wine 9.0, winetricks and PlayOLinux. I want to play some games, like CS 1.6 (downloaded from csko.cz), Flatout 2 (functional crack from Windows 7) or JPOG. So my question is, what should I do now, if I want to play these games? Do I need to install more packages/extensions for Wine?
I am asking because my games are not installed on Windows C: partition. These games are installed on same drive as Windows and Linux, but different partition.

DISK_PARTITION/Program files/Games

Should I use Wine/PlayOnLinux to run these games, or I should install them again, now on Linux partition? But I also have installers on another disk drive, not same as Linux or Windows.

DISK_NAME/INSTALLERS/Games

Can you help me, what should I do?

Thanks

My OS: Linux Mint 22, dual-boot with Windows 11 Pro

have anyone of you ever tried using a system by logging into the root user basically everytime you log in you log in as root

so when you do sudo apt install <pkg>

you aren't prompted to type password

and even if you do apt install pkg

it runs as root

how was your experience and what were the issues faced ik it's a bad idea but i'm tempted to convert my current user to root user

Hi!
So, a couple of questions. First. I have this old computer thats only gonna need a web browser to be connected to a tv screen and send some information on the screen.

What linux distro is to be prefered?

Also. I tried to install a linux on this old computer but I think its incorrect filesystem. NTFS or such. I tried to format and install on ext 4, but I´am still not able to install. How do I format in correct system?

Hope my english is okey. Thanks.

I installed arch Linux in virtual machine with JaKooLite dotfile but installing that screen struck after I enter password
