Hey everyone I think my hard drive has some problem so I tried to boot from the hard drive in the boot menu and it is showing this menu. What to do now? If there is any problem with my drive, can anyone tell me how to fix it DIY? Thank you submitted by /u/Mundane-Offer-7643 [link] [comments]

I mean I know most of the commands, but still I can't remember all the commands, but as I want to be a sysadmin I need to look for man pages, if got stuck somewhere, so when I read them there are a lot of options and flags as well as details make it overwhelming and I close it, I know they're great source out there but I can't use them properly, so I want to know what trick or approach do you use to deal with these man pages and gets fluent with them please, share your opinion. submitted by /u/Independent-Gear-711 [link] [comments]

I stumbled upong this: https://github.com/Tomas-M/iotop But, the UI is not very intuitive (doesn't follow Vim bindings), and I think it could overall benefit from a nicer UI like the one used in https://github.com/EdJoPaTo/mqttui I'm a little lost on where to start, so I'm wondering if there is someone who'd like to collaborate with me on this and we can learn along the way? submitted by /u/mahmirr [link] [comments]

Ubuntu 24.10 ships with the wrong bird. Instead of an oriole, the wallpaper features a bullfinch, which is a completely different species.

I have some how become the defacto Linux systems / application specialist at my organization over the last decade. Mostly managing 12 workstations and two servers. This is due to my specialty in a medical diagnostic lab (MEG). The "state of the art" clinical software to analyze our data was initially developed for HP Unix and ported to linux in the early 2000s, last update was 2008 for RHEL 5. Now to my question. There are a few ( a lot ) of libraries that are not longer supported. I do have the packages and source code, but I wonder what the best method is to install these libraries on modern systems that won't create conflicts with other libraries. Should I add them to their own directory in the 32bit system libraries folder or in another location. Writing wrappers I don't think will be very practical since the software has a little over 100 binaries. How would you manage this, currently I solve for what I can address from the distribution's repositories then compile the rest into an i686 library directory. submitted by /u/imsorrykun [link] [comments]

I recently put this together and i'm posting it on here in case anyone else finds it useful. Tinyupnp is a very small , zero config one command upnp media server with no runtime dependencies. I made it because i was fed up with the overhead of starting kodi when i wanted to stream files via dlna and i couldn't get other known servers like gerbera or mediatomb to work.

If it’s because of the terminal Yes most of us use the terminal BUT, we use it because we are used to it/prefer it. Not because we need to. If it’s because of apps/games compatibility Don’t worry the devs are working on their best, if you need a game/app just install Windows aside, we don’t force you to 100% switch If it’s because of the toxic Arch users (btw i use arch 23333) Don’t worry, this is a minority on most places submitted by /u/LordNoah73YT [link] [comments]

To be fair, I'm quite new in using Linux. However after using a few distros before landing on Fedora, I've noticed that over the past few years, the differences between the distros have gone from pretty significant to vanishingly small. Consider the following points: Ubuntu: Is (if I understand correctly) moving towards supporting the latest kernels rather than just the LTS bringing it somewhat closer to Fedora in terms of supporting the cutting edge. Aside from Snap, telemetry and other proprietary stuff, is there anything that really makes Ubuntu stand out? Fedora: the cutting edge distro, has been incredibly stable and hasn't been making any huge shakeups or changes. It's move to only support Wayland comes during a time when X11 is barely just a shambling corpse that has waaaay outlived its purpose. Even Fedora's focus on only FOSS is easily addressed through the RPM Fusion repositories. Arch: the bleeding edge rolling distro, sometimes now gets new versions and updates of software later than Fedora (see: KDE Plasma 6). Also, it's no longer the incredibly difficult and super complex distro it once was and has become far more mainstream and user friendly. Pop!_OS: is basically Ubuntu with all of the crappy stuff removed. The main differentiating factor, Cosmic DE, is already available for most distros. Debian: old reliable, is very stable as always...but so are all of the other distros. It's easier to differentiate based on stability when everything is breaking all the time, but right now everything is so much more stable that Debian's rock solid stability is starting to feel more and more in line with all the rest Linux Mint: Is just old Ubuntu (Cinnamon is available as a DE for most other distros, so I'm not sure what the main differentiation is here). Linux Mint DE: Is just Debian with Cinnamon...I guess? etc. etc. etc. In short, all of the cutting edge distros that used to be very unstable, are now quite stable in most use cases, and most of the stable distros are adopting more modern technology, and so its feels like their all starting to converge. Now, I know that there are some distros that buck this trend. Off the top of my head, I can think of Gentoo, NixOS, and Void, but in many cases these are more niche distros for specific use cases. All of the really big distros feel like they are starting to converge and going from Ubuntu to Pop!_OS to Linux Mint to Debian to Fedora never really feels too much different (besides having to use dnf instead of apt). This is especially true since all these distros can install the same DEs I might be oversimplifying and I'm sure that there's all more differences under the hood for many of these, but from a user experience perspective, they're becoming almost indistinguishable. Also, I may be wrong, and I'm sure that the good people of the Linux community will not shy away from telling me if that is the case, but I was wondering if people were starting to feel the same way. submitted by /u/Omar_Eldahan [link] [comments]

My work used tools exclusive to Windows (Visual Studio) and that's why I was forced to use it, over time, I used Linux less and less, until the moment I went to format my PC and decided to leave Linux out to have more space and optimize my work processes. In the meantime, I learned to live with the inconveniences of Windows, with all the problems it brought me, the blue screens and the complete inability to customize MY system the way I wanted. Sometime after I bought the JetBrains package, and started working with its tools, leaving Visual Studio and MSSQL Server Manager out. Yesterday I got stressed about Windows (again) and on a new partition I installed Linux togheter with the JetBrains tools. The pleasure of having the freedom to customize everything the way I want is immeasurable, I didn't remember that feeling... One of the thousand things I missed I missed in Windows was being able to change the sound device in use with a shortcut. With a few lines of shellscript and the ability to create keyboard shortcuts that run the scripts I create, I was able to automate this task in less than 5 minutes. "Stupid" things but that make all the difference for you to truly feel like you own your computer. Edit: The script #!/bin/bash DEVICES=( "alsa_output.pci-0000_0b_00.6.analog-stereo" "alsa_output.usb-XiiSound_Technology_Corporation_HS317-00.iec958-stereo" ) CURRENT_SINK=$(pactl get-default-sink) NEXT_SINK=${DEVICES[0]} for i in "${!DEVICES[@]}"; do if [[ "${DEVICES[$i]}" == "$CURRENT_SINK" ]]; then NEXT_SINK=${DEVICES[$(( (i + 1) % ${#DEVICES[@]} ))]} break fi done pactl set-default-sink "$NEXT_SINK" pactl list short sink-inputs | while read -r stream; do STREAM_ID=$(echo "$stream" | cut -f1) pactl move-sink-input "$STREAM_ID" "$NEXT_SINK" done Change the strings inside "DEVICES" by the device names listed with "pactl list short sinks", note that you dont need to add all the devices listed in this array, just the ones you use. save it and run "chmod +x fileName", put the the file in your path, or just paste it on "/usr/bin/". Depending on your interface system it may differ, but usually on the keyboard configs you can create shortcuts that run commands and other things, the command is just the name of the script file you placed in your path submitted by /u/Cheap-Protection6372 [link] [comments]
