Solve : Any FREE good sources to learn Linux??

Answer»

So, Recently, I have tried out Linux, and I have learned a few things, but I want to become advanced with the kernel. So far, I cannot seem to find anything that will teach me about Linux. Either it's a beginner tutorial for Ubuntu, or a dictionary of Linux terms, and the good stuff usually costs money. I feel as though I am stuck, and not sure where to go. Does anyone know any good sources to learn? Thank you.Quote

Abstract
This book is meant to be used in an instructor-led training. For self-study, the intent is to read this book next to a working Linux computer so you can immediately do every subject, PRACTICING each command.
This book is aimed at novice Linux system administrators (and might be interesting and useful for home users that want to know a bit more about their Linux system). However, this bookis not meant as an introduction to Linux desktop applications like TEXT editors, browsers, mail
clients, MULTIMEDIA or office applications.
...Feel free to contact the author: Paul Cobbaut

Please tell why you need anything else.

I'd be inclined to just use it for a while and deliberately make use of the terminal for things. Once you know the basics you could then move onto trying to INSTALL something very bare bones like Arch - Even installing this will teach you a lot and you can then spend time just fiddling about customising things, trying different window managers/desktop environments.etc. I'm not sure how much of Linux you can just learn by reading about it, it's like programming, you need to be actively doing it rather than just reading.Both of these REPLIES are really good. The PDF I was sent will be good for me as well. Thank you guys.

Solve : Has there been any concern about privacy or tracking on Ubuntu, like there is on?

Answer»

Has there been any concern about privacy or TRACKING on Ubuntu, like there is on Windows 10.

I'm considering SLOWLY MOVING away from Microsoft.Quote from: CrewRite on JUNE 07, 2016, 01:24:29 PM

Has there been any concern about privacy or tracking on Ubuntu, like there is on Windows 10.
Ubuntu includes telemetry which is SENT back to Canonical. (Can be turned off), There was also a bit of a tiff in regards to it's online search results.

Win10's telemetry can be disabled via registry editor by adding an "AllowTelemetry" DWORD value to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection and setting it to 1, or by straight-up disabling the services responsible.

Solve : Linux Mint won't load?

Answer»

I put the newest Linux Mint 64 on a flash drive and when I hit enter on Start Linux Mint, it says end kernal panic and all sorts of messages, at the same time the caps lock blinks.What CPU are you running this on and how much RAM? Or make/model computer?


Was this thumb drive booted onto a different system before being brought to the current system that crash dumps the kernel? (* The system that the thumb drive BOOTS on, depending on how you have it set up, it can inherrit hardware profile from prior system that it was run on and crash on a different computer. So after creating it its best that the system that it first boots on is the same system that flash drive is paired with for as long as its to be used as a pair. I have seen problems myself with Linux Mint on a thumb drive where its first boot is on a Core 2 Duo Laptop and then the next boot an AMD Athlon laptop and the laptop for the AMD Athlon crashes at the kernel. Yet if I take this thumb drive and make it new, it boots and runs fine on the AMD system, and then move it to the Core 2 Duo and it crashes there.)

Have you TRIED a different flash drive to rule out the flash drive as the cause?


It has 3gb of ddr3 ram. AMD Vision dual core. HP g62 320ca.

The flash drive was formatted before I put Linux Mint on it to NTFS. Than used Universal Usb Installer to GET Linux Mint on the flash drive. All this was done on another Windows 8.1 machine.Do you have a different USB flash drive to try? Some have issues as working as bootable drives.Re-downloaded 17.3 from the primary download that Mint themselves provide instead of the mirrors. I than used a different program that Ubuntu recommends (rufus) for transferring the ISO onto the usb. The program claimed that NTFS was incompatible. Anyway it formatted as FAT32 and finally did boot into the Mint desktop.

There are still some minor issues with Mint, but its on the desktop.Good to hear you found a work around. I have had some of the USB sticks fail to run as Bootable Sticks due to memory controller on the USB stick or something similar. It seems like the ones that have a crystal clock on them are more compatible with being used as a bootable thumb drive vs ones that have a clock (timer) chip. But most thumb drives are hidden from view for the internal circuit BOARD. But when i see the ones for sale that have the clear plastic to see inside the metal body of a crystal I know with almost 100% certainty that they will work well with being used as a LIVE Linux Drive. The cheap Sandisks I have had issues with. But others like PNY and Kingston work ok.

Solve : Using the Top command with ps and kill?

Answer»

For my Computing CONTROLLED ASSESSMENT I am looking into some of the basic commands for the Linux OS Debian. For the final question I have to write a short essay on using the top command along with ps and kill to investigate misbehaving system. The question asks to use help from PC specialists (or just any experienced Debian users). So if anyone could give any information on how a specialist could use these commands and anything helpful in general on these commands. Remember I'm here for information and not an answer. ThanksCode: [SELECT]man [command name]man is a manual program, and my best friend.

Solve : Linux Live Bug or something else Mint 17.3 32-bit Cinnamon USB?

Answer»

Was given a laptop that the customer didnt want to invest any time or money into fixing it. All he wanted from it was his hard drive which i removed and gave to him into an external enclosure so that he had his data. The laptop wouldnt turn on and no LEDs would light when plugged into the wall. I looked and saw that the cord was ragged in ONE spot and a meter showed that there was no 19VDC output. The break in the wire was too close to the power supply to fix it, but I had a 19VDC HP power supply from another laptop that was given to me in which I saved the good power supply and so amperage was about the same and so I cut the healthy section of cord with the Gateway computer plug, cut off the HP plug end, and wired it up with correct plug end and polarity and shrink tubed the connections to insulate it and then the Gateway Laptop worked with a healthy 19VDC power supply.

I didnt have a hard drive for it and dont have a copy of Vista to use the key affixed to the laptop so I decided to put Linux Mint 17.3 32-bit Cinnamon onto a bootable USB stick. No problems in making the bootable stick. Laptop booted right at the get go off of the USB port and Linux Mint 17.3 was running off of the USB stick with no problems, however the more the laptop runs the more laggy Linux mint 17.3 gets. As well as when going to shut down or reboot the laptop the shutdown icon is sometimes missing when its glitched yet you can CLICK where the icon would be in the menu and it will start the shutdown process.

On reboot its healthy again for a while and after about an hour of use it starts to get laggy and glitchy, the corruption/problem builds. On reboot none of the corruption writes to the USB stick so it starts up healthy after a reboot until its running and the problem starts to build onto itself again with more use.

Ran Memtest86 off of a Disc in the DVD Drive and it passed the memory test after 5 passes with no problems, so pretty SURE the system RAM is healthy.

Thinking that maybe there is some sort of memory leak or issue with this running as a Live OS. I also have the Live OS on the stick set up with the remainder of the 8GB which is about 3.9GB to be free for installing programs and personal data to the thumb drive. Programs install with no problems.

Tried using a different USB stick thinking maybe there was a corruption going on with read/write to the usb stick, but a different 4GB USB stick started to glitch out after about the same amount of time.

I also as a troubleshooting method ran Knoppix 7.4.2 off of DVD ROM and it runs without glitches for hours. So I know that the laptop itself its hardware is healthy based on that fact that Knoppix has no issues. I prefer not to use Knoppix only because its STRICTLY read only off of a DVD-R and I like the USB flash drive method because you can install programs and save personal data as you use it VS the Knoppix etch-a-sketch type of Live Read-Only Distro.

So I have come down to the fact that its a issue with this laptop and Linux Mint 17.3 32-bit Cinnamon but unsure of the direct cause.... USB Driver, Memory Leak, other Instability Issue?

Figured I'd check here to see if anyone has any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue further...

Solve : What is d_main.cpp and where is it??

Answer»

I need to edit my d_main.cpp since it doesn't support Floating Point Operations. I am installing a Program on my Raspberry Pi and keep getting Floating Point Exceptions.As you've left us to guess, I can only suppose that d_main.cpp is PART of ZDoom. I can find no references to this particular issue so you'll PROBABLY want to provide more details. A Floating Point Exception would be when the program performs a floating point operation unsupported on the hardware.

d_main.cpp itself can be acquired as part of the source code to the program in question.Quote

doesn't support Floating Point Operations.
Does that mean Raspberry Pi does not have the hardware?
That is a very minimal controller that is being used as a PC. It is not designed to do all the things a desktop might need to do.
Without doing research, I think it will not do loading point for two or three reasons.
1. It is a minimal CPU with no MATH chip.
2. It TASK almost a thousand lines of code to do that in software.
3. Anybody who needs floating pint in a tiny package needs to rethink the design.

Of course, you could interface a FPU as an external module.
OR: Look here:
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/545/does-the-raspberry-pi-have-hardware-floating-point-support

Okay the I figured out where it was now why is ZDoom still not installing?This might be relevant.
http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
Quote
The shareware version of Doom was used during development of the Raspberry Pi in its benchmarking tests, and was USEFUL in debugging compilation issues when porting software to the Raspberry Pi's ARM1176JZF-S, a relatively rare ARMv6 variant. Chocolate Doom was the only source port available on the official Raspberry Pi Store until its closure in February 2016.

Note: ARMv6 variant. This might mean the code is not portable for versions of Raspberry Pi. See the site above and find somebody there who knows.

Solve : How to Remove Ubuntu From a Vista Computer??

Answer»

I heard that support for Vista was/is finished I thought I would try Linux. I already had an UBUNTU 8.04 disk so tried that. I greatly dislike it and tried to reinstall Vista from the recover disk but it just TELLS me the partition needs to be formatted to NTFS. Might be a senior moment, but I have no idea how to do this? Tried clicking on repair on the Vista disc but did not show the partition.
Any SUGGESTIONS how I can get Vista back on the computer and get rid of Ubuntu please?
I am guessing Linux is the right place to put this question?

Computer is:
Dell Inspiron 1525 You may need to contact Dell and see if that have a recovery media or you.
An installation of Linux on a Windows computer often destroys Windows information stored on the disk.
Can you locate the COA on the computer?
It might look like this:



Thanks for your reply Geek.
Old age and ignorance has won through. I tried the Vista INSTALL disk again and saw "format" It would not do it so tried "Delete". After that was able to reinstall Vista. Much HAPPINESS and need of a pint of ale now. Well, you did it yourself!
For reference:
It seems that Linux interferes with the way Vista and Windows wants a hard drive partitioned. The answer is to delete all partitions and start from a blank drive.
Nevertheless, it is possible to set up a hard drive with both Linux and Windows in a dual-boot. It has been well-documented elsewhere.

Yep, then 19" maximum screen resolution 1024x768, and 21.5" = 1920x1080, but i want that DVI-I-0 was primary always
So both monitors work. -Right?
The resolution is ALRIGHT?
You issue is which monitor is the primary, right?
Can EITHER monitor do HDMI? Can both do DVI?
Apparently not and that is what annoys you.
The following is an assumption on my part.
.....
LET me assume you want the HDMI in from of you because it has the sound.
You want the DVI to be the other because there is no sound. -Right?

You can get cables to cross between HDMI and DVI.
From a search...
Quote
The audio can be carried over DVI to HDMI cable depending on the graphics card. For NEWER GPUs, you just need to set the HDMI audio device in the Windows Sound control panel. Older GPUs need to use a digital audio S/PDIF cable to connect from the PC to the graphics board's on board S/PDIF connector.Mar 19, 2010
But that is for Windows, not Linux. Some monitors let you use an alternative sound source. I have a similar program, but in Windows not Linux. I had to use a analog audio cable to the monitor in from of me.
See here:
http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/57735-6-audio
Is any of this relevant tall?
When the computer is turned on the primary signal is fed to a monitor connected to a DVI-I-, and then the DVI-D and HDMI. So I want to leave this monitor 21.5 "basic. With the sound I have no problem.
I can't understand why xrandr give me error when i add new mode to DVI-I-0

Solve : Dual boot from external hard drive?

Answer»

I am running a dual boot system with Ubuntu 12.04 and Win XP. My motherboard is dying. What I would like to do is turn my internal hard drives into external drives and plug them into my laptop until I can afford to buy a new motherboard.

Win XP is on an internal drive on my desktop, which I will turn into an external drive.

My question is: I have Ubuntu 12.04 on the internal hard drive on the laptop. Can I dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 with Win XP on an external hard drive? Since I am basically changing motherboards, is there anything that I have to do to windows, or Ubuntu? Here is a short answer.
Ubuntu and many other Linux packages can boot from other DEVICES and use GRUB is the thing to manage the boot menu.
Windows XP was not built to run on an external drive. Still, some do it.
To learn more do a Google for:
How to Install XP on an External Hard Drive
You will find many articles.
Here is one:
https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-install-xp-on-an-external-hard-drive

There is no simple way I know of. It is a lot of work.

Now what if you put XP on your laptop internal drive ? That is easy.





Linux is generally happy doing this although the USB interface is generally fairly SLOW (especially USB 2.0) so you won't get the BEST performance doing this. Windows on the other hand is not DESIGNED for running from a USB drive and moving a copy of Windows to a different machine will almost certainly cause it to fail to boot (and violates the EULA if it is an OEM licence and not a full retail one).

You are almost certainly better off backing up all data and installing the OSs properly on the laptop's internal drive.camerongray,
Thanks. That is what I wanted to say.
If he has enough memory, he can get Linux to put a lot of stuff into memory and it will run fast.

Is that group of letters called a command or a string? Hey thanks for that link...I loved it. I just don't understand why all those letter are there. Looks like someone pushed a lot of random letters.Powershell can take a number of commands on a single line. The last command was
Code: [Select] -EncodedCommand JABFA....
The single space separates the command for the code that follows. What looks like GIBBERISH is really base 64 code which allows complex constructions in the command line.
Windows can allow a line length of 8192 characters. I am not sure id that is the limitof Powershell. Anyway, it means that the administrator can have a supr command using single line pf Powershell. The base 64 set of characters do not violate any special character restrictions that would otherwise make the command fail. Symbols that would not be allowed are EMBEDDED in the base 64 code.

Put another way, this is a neat feature that few of us would every use. If the embedded code had 8000 chars, it could represent over 100 lines of code that do not go over 80 char sin length.
Does that help any?Where is this command from?

The large block of text is what's known as "Base64 encoded" which when decoded (which can be done with a website such as https://www.base64decode.org/ shows the actual command. To be this looks somewhat malicious as it mentions a URL that appears to be associated with "Trojan.Zlob.Q"Thanks guys! This helps a ton. I am trying to learn more about coding but I have to learn the basics. You guys Rock!Wow I did it! I used a decoder and saw all the words and the command to go to a specific website. I took that website and researched it for malicious activity. It was a back site. Thanks for all the help. I want to learn more ...thanks again.

Solve : Linux fgrep how to extract "only_words_in_my_language" from a big "MIXED_WORDS"?

Answer»

Hi everyone

I want SOMETHING to EXTRACT "only_words_in_my_language" from a big "MIXED_WORDS" file and for that i used the syntax bellow but with poor results:

Code: [Select]fgrep -W -f "only_words_in_my_language.txt" "MIXED_WORDS_from_all_over_the_world" > extracted_word_of_my_country_only.txt
That's why i'm thinking mmmm.. to ''MATCH'' the entire WORD,for better results
For example this is a WORD in my language:


Maimuta - 7 letters lenght,if i match the entire word the results could be:

Code: [Select][emailprotected]
maimuta2016!
Maimuta01!
[emailprotected]
if i match 6 letter the res. could be:

Code: [Select]maimut
maimutoi1
Maimutareala01!
So my question is how to do that??how to match the entire word or or all but not the last one?
A regex or something for LINUX please

Solve : Remix OS Player Error?

Answer»

I'm trying to get Remix OS Player started up, but its asking for virtualization in-order to work. I checked the UEFI and I tried VT-D, no luck. I'm wondering if I'm missing a setting. Yes, the intel PROGRAM is installed.

ERROR: resizing partition e2fsck failed with exit CODE 8
emulator: WARNING: userdata partition is resized from 550 M to 3900 M
emulator: ERROR: x86_64 emulation CURRENTLY requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: VT feature disabled in BIOS/UEFI

I'm using a Win8.1, that is ASUS M11AD.

Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to get this working.It may be referring to VT-x. Sometimes the feature(s) are listed as "Virtualization Technology".Ok, because my UEFI SAYS nothing about virtualization, but it says enable or disable vt-d at the top. I checked every menu and nothing says vt-x. I don't see why my system wouldn't be capable of virtualization.Alright, I came across a ASUS video, SAYING its in the CPU section. Just realized I didn't scroll down in the CPU section and virtualization was there. Appears to work now.

Nice to have a working Android 6.

Solve : Problem Installing Mandrake 10?

Answer»

I'm having an issue installing Mandrake 10, I can't boot off the CD because the computer just simply won't do it. I can't seem to find any documentation that tells me how to create a set of bootdisks so that I can install from there. I see RAWRITE in the DOSUTILS directory on the first CD but I can't seem to use it. It either locks up the system or simply won't run. My question is... Does anybody know where I can download a set of bootdisks so that I can install Mandrake 10? Thanks.This is what I found:
http://www.start-linux.com/forum/read.php?f=2&i=654&t=654
It'd be much easier if you had another computer; you could netwrok them and (well... read ^ for rest . That's how I installed SuSE second time; it even LET me use Windows file sharing, and can run from floppy or CD. Also, about rawrite, have you tried re-downloading it? Maybe your's is corrupted or there's a new version.
Have you looked around in your BIOS/setup (try PRESSING delete or an F key, or look for instructions at boot) to allow you to boot from CD? On all my machines (including some pretty old ones), there's a boot order list, and you could just set it to SOMETHING like: floppy, CD, IDE disk.
Hope one of these helps; good luck!I am a NEWBIE and have just installed Mandrake 10 with sucess. You must boot with disk 2 not disk 1 then after a few screns it will ask you to reinstall the installation CD. give this a try it worked for me. unclegerry

Solve : Ubuntu 32 vs 64 bit?

Answer»

I want to try Ubuntu again cause I'm bored. Should I get the 32 or 64 bit version? Would there really be any benefit, since I have 3 GB RAM? And one last THING, last time I tried it I deleted it eventually and fixed the bootloader by using the recovery console on my XP CD and doing fix boot and fix mbr, but now I have Vista. It came preloaded on my computer so I don't have the installation CD, only a recovery CD which just wipes everything completely and INSTALLS everything the way it was when I first GOT the computer. How would I fix the bootloader if I decided to uninstall Ubuntu?Do you have a 64 bit CPU? If not, it dosent matter. In fact, i dont THINK you can USE the 64 bit version on a 32 bit CPU.Yeah, its 64 bit....look at the specs next time.What specs? You SAID you have vista and 3 GB RAM. If it is in a picture or in your sig, i'm on my cell phone, which dosent display either.

Solve : Linux rdesktop to VirtualPC2007 Windows Vista RDC?

Answer»

I am trying to get my Linux UBUNTU workstation connected via rdesktop ( USING RDP version 5 ) to a RDC connection ( with lowered ENCRYPTION to allow for version 5 ) on a Virtual Vista OS which is idling on a system running VirtualPC 2007 to run Vista on its native XP Pro Sp2 OS.

Here is the problem, other than the fact that I am still forced to use Windows...ha ha

Other windows boxes can connect fine to the vitual vista system by system name and they are all on different domains, but same hard wired network. So this tells me that its not a firewall ISSUE etc.

From Linux when trying to connect to the Vista system by system name I get an error message of " ERROR - Unable to resolve host ". I then ran IPconfig from the cmd prompt from within the Virtual Vista environment and got an IP of 192.168.5.139, so I thought maybe I could connect to the Virtual Vista by IP.

But that wouldnt work, because the local RDP service of the XP Pro system says a-ha you want to connect to me at 192.168.5.139 and it never gets tot he Virtual Vista RDC. If I shut off the RDP service on the XP Pro box, I can get to the Virtual Vista via IP, but I need both the XP and Vista environments available to me through Linux remote desktop service.

SO...what I am trying to figure out is how to gain access to the Windows XP Pro and Vista systems that are sharing a single NIC with IP of 192.168.5.139 without having to disable the XP Pro native OS RDP service for the Virtual Vista OS RDC service to connect via rdesktop from Linux.

It seems as though if I could get the Linux system to resolve by name to the Virtual Vista I would be all set. But I am not sure how to resove this. In total desperation I could change the local domain of the Linux system to match the Vista. Havent tried that yet and can give it a try... Maybe if they are matched local domains of workgroup for example Linux will be able to resolve the Windows Vista system by name.

Any suggestions???

Solve : Ubuntu on External Hard Drive?

Answer»

Hey,

So recently i got an external case for one of my extra hard drives, and after considering what to do with it i decided to put linux on it.

So i installed Ubuntu just like normal, choosing my 80gb external hard drive as the destination, everything works fine.

The problem is that now if i want to start up windows i still need the external hard drive plugged in in order to start it up. Otherwise, it tells me something about grub not being able to LOAD. This sort of defeats the purpose in putting in on an external hard drive so i was wondering what i did wrong. I know people put linux on removable media.

ThanksI have no answer but your issue intrigues me. Alright, here's where i'm at now.
I found out that at the end of the installation from the LIVE cd you go into advanced and have it install the boot loader on the external hard drive not the main hdd (oops )
The problem is that this still isn't working properly for me. I go into BIOS and i can set it to load from the internal hard drive and it boots up fine, i can unplug the external hard drive and it all works well. When i try to start up linux, though, i go into BIOS and set it to boot off the external hard drive. It starts off looking GOOD, it starts up grub and asks me which operating system i want to use, but then WHICHEVER choice i make it tells me there's an error and can't load it.

Am i doing something else wrong now? or should that have just worked?Solved! Just posting for the benefit of Eg0Death and anyone else with this problem.
So what i ended up doing to solve the problem was to remove my internal hard drive (unplug) while i installed Ubuntu onto my external. This way it set it up properly.

I have two theories as to what i did wrong. One, there were two options on my external hard drive as to where to install the boot loader when i went into the advanced OPTION. I may have just chose the wrong one.
My other theory is that when it asks you to restart after downloading idk if it needs to restart to ubuntu. It restarted to windows at first which may have messed it up. Idk. I got it working so i'm happy.Cool. Thanks for posting your results.

Solve : unix and zebra?

Answer»

HOW CAN I INSTALL A ZEBRA PRINTER INTO UNIX AND WHERE CAN I FIND THE DRIVERS .. IT'S ZEBRA 170 XiIIhttp://www.zebra.com will have a downloads section.

A search on GOOGLE gave a few sites. The first was http://www.eiminc.com/support/faqcontent.htm and point #15 says.. Quote

15. I would like to print from a Unix system to a Zebra or Eltron printer using an IP address. What do I do?

You can print by using either the Zebra PrintServer II or the Eltron PrintServer. The electronic manuals have instructions for working with Unix.

Page 42 on Zebra Printserver II: http://www.zebra.com/SS/manuals.htm

Page 15 on Eltron Printserver: http://ftp://ftp.eltron.com/eltron/manuals/46716LA%20Eltron%20PrintServer.pdf


Other options listed by Google include software packages. Once you get the printer installed, you can create your own labels pretty easilly. SAMPLE code is..

Code: [Select]'^XA'
'^LH0,0'
'^FWn^FO10,20^AS^FD' & LOC:OrdLotBin & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO400,20^AS^FD' & LOC:Size & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO10,65^AS^FD' & LOC:Model & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO10,110^AS^FDSpacer: ' & LOC:SpacerType & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO300,110^AS^FDPos: ' & LOC:Position & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO440,110^AS^FDArgon: ' & LOC:Argon & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO600,110^AS^FDGrids: ' & LOC:Grids & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO10,150^AS^FDLite One: ' & LOC:PassOne & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO10,190^AS^FDLite Two: ' & LOC:PassTwo & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO10,230^AS^FDLite Three: ' & LOC:PassThree & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO10,270^AS^FDUser: ' & LOC:User & '^FS'
'^FWn^FO400,270^AS^FDTime: ' & LOC:TimeStamp & '^FS'
'^XZ'

All the LOC:FOO are variables I pass at the TIME of printing. Each ^FOO is a specific command given to the printer to perform a task such as set FONT size or whatever.

Hope this helps.

Solve : Pentium 4 - 2.4Ghz 1GB RAM - Whats best modern Linux 32-bit OS for this?

Answer»

Friend of mine who is still chugging along with his trusty Pentium 4 has been running an out of date Linux Mint 9 LTS since 9 LTS was available. He ASKED me if there was a good performing modern 32-bit version that he should upgrade to. I told him that Linux Mint 18 XFCE might be the best option but that I would check here to see if there is a better alternative.

His hardware specs:

Dell Tower
Pentium 4 - 2.4 Ghz socket 478 single-core
Intel 845GL Graphics 64MB ( shared memory with RAM ) ( 1024x768 res )
1GB DDR 266Mhz RAM ( 2 x 512MB )
80GB IDE HDD
DVD-RW Drive

His computer use:

He surfs the web with Firefox, e-mail, buying stuff online which some sites complain that his browser is out of date now, plays some very lightweight flash games, listens to music with it, and uses Open Office.

His concerns with continuing to use Linux Mint 9 LTS is that its out of date and he wants to be secure with security UPDATES. He wants it to be secure and also the best performance he can get from his old computer. I tried to talk him into buying a refurb computer for like $80 that is a Core 2 Duo and Windows 7 and so much better than the Pentium 4, but he really likes his old computer and doesnt want to replace it. I told him that sticking it out with that Pentium 4, he is sort of driving a Model T ford on the internet Autobahn with people passing him like he is standing still. Wouldn't you want a faster car? He jokingly said its not how FAST you get to the destination its the trip. I joked and said well I guess you like waiting for pages to load then. He has a DSL internet connection for internet which is quite fast with a modern computer but a page that loads fast on my laptop takes like 3 to 10 seconds on his Pentium 4 depending on the complexity of the website to view.

So is Linux Mint 18 XFCE 32-bit the OS to refer him to or something else? They can always try it using the Live version to see and make sure everything works properly?

If not Version 18 then he could always try 17.2 or 17.3.Any 32-bit distro should be fine. It's hard to know all the distinct fiobles of compatibility, so they'd want to boot up and poke about with a Live CD/DVD anyway. I don't even see a major problem sticking with Mint 9. The only caveat for doing so is that he'll want to manually upgrade programs like Firefox.

Quote

I have a similarly configured Pentium 4 system, but with 2GB of RAM and WinXP. I've browsed the web with it and the only issue was sites that had too many interactive elements. Sites like for example this forum tended to feel IDENTICAL to how they do on my primary system. (Heck I have a PowerMac G5 of the same age and it seems to stack up to my current systems even when it comes to Photoshop!)Here is a list for recent Mint releases.
https://www.linuxmint.com/download_all.php
Screen shot below...

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]I would definitely go with a minimal Ubuntu INSTALLATION, and from there install only the necessary applications.
The greatest difference isn't in the distro choice, but in the Desktop Environment choice. Basic Ubuntu + LXDE or XFCE should do it. If he really feels hardcore, OpenBox is an amazing choice for performances and shouldn't be too much of a limitation for the uses you described.BTW, it's a bit out topic, but a couple of days ago I was playing with media servers.... I had a very old computer, too old even for browsing with Chromium and 4-5 tabs open, so I was about to throw it away but... in the end I installed Openelec on it, and man, this computer is so useful now!Thanks for sharing this.. And I didnt know that its cased on XBMC. I used XBMC years ago for a HTPC back then it was a dual boot Linux/Windows XP system so I could use it for HTPC as well as boot to Windows and have ability to play World of Warcraft on it thru the 32 inch flatscreen tv. It was just a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz HT with 1GB DDR400 RAM and 160GB HDD. Used a wireless keyboard and mouse from comfort of across room and it worked out well, although I had to take a clip board and add velco to bottom of it for a mouse pad that would stay in place on the arm of the chair.

Going to check out this OpenElec to see how it is. Thanks for sharing.

Solve : BrowseLinux for Laptop with no hard drive?

Answer»

Attempted a Remaster of knoppix last night to add Adobe Flash to it and learned a couple things..

#1 - Dont just copy/paste a list of instructions from the web to terminal Window and think you can arrow up to the LINE to edit the mounted target path. WAS NOT GOOD it ended up running with it as if I hit the enter key right when I dropped it into Terminal Window. This tried to make swap space for Knoppix 7.7.1 ONTO my 100MB Windows 7 partition instead of the 40GB external drive that I had connected and mounted.

I have never copy/pasted more than a single line to Terminal Window before of LINUX and usually I can then edit and hit enter key to run it, but I guess more than 1 line of instruction it takes as an autorun of the script. Luckily it didnt kill Windows 7 on my SSD on this system. I just needed to go to the 100MB system partition and wipe out the partial of Knoppix where it tried to expand the contents of the 4.6GB ISO and bailed when it reached the 100MB limit of this partition.

As a way to make SURE the correct instructions/script is run with the correct target info in the Terminal Window, I ended up using Libre Office Writer to copy/paste the instructions to that. Make changes there, and then copy/paste the edited version with the correct mounted path to /media/sdb1 for the 40GB External vs /media/sda1 which hit my 100MB System Partition on the SSD, so that it wont target sda1 and instead will correctly target sdb1 when pasted to Terminal Window with my specific target info for sdb1 vs sda1.

#2 - I should have used the instructions and scripts with the 7.0.4 version of Knoppix vs 7.7.1 that these remastery instructions were based around, and when it says these instructions are not for DVD Knoppix, go with the statement that its not for DVD instead of trying to make it work for the DVD. *What was strange is while at the start of the instructions it said instructions not for DVD later in the instructions it describes if your using a DVD (greater than 700MB) version of Knoppix to make sure you have 20GB free on the mounted drive that you are going to pass all the expanded contents to. In my case it was /media/sdb1 for the external 40GB HDD.

I got to a point and saw many errors and realized it was not gonna work and shut it down to bring Windows 7 back up and fix the 100MB partition.

Thinking I am going to give this another try tonight, but will use 7.0.4 the CD version of Knoppix which the instructions are proven to work with according to whomever created the instructions. Here is what I WENT with last night and crashed and almost burned my Windows 7 install with a simple copy/paste to Terminal Window, but got very lucky. http://knoppix.net/wiki3/index.php?title=Knoppix_Remastering_Howto

I am really curious WHY the instructions to expand the contents of a CD ISO would work if these instructions are correct, but a DVD ISO will not. To me the instructions should work for both and ISO image size shouldnt matter, as long as the mounted drive that its expanding to has plenty of space to allow for it to expand and take the changes. But there is something in these instructions that I guess only allows for it to work with a CD image and not a DVD image. Anyone able to look at the script at the link and see if something points out why its only for smaller CD images and not DVD images?

Only thing that stands out to me is the Swap Space getting. I would think that you would want a larger swap space for a DVD image, however your swap space you also for a Live Distro which would mount as a RAM Drive, I would think you would want to just make sure that the Virtual Swap Space just is big enough to run the Live OS, but not too large that it then requires a system with more RAM than necessary to run. For example the laptop i want to run this on has 2GB RAM and so 1GB virtual swap space would leave 1GB of the system RAM for the OS to operate as system RAM. The system I was messing around with this all on last night had 4GB and so the same parameter that works on the 2GB RAM laptop should work on this system with 4GB RAM, but instead have 1GB for the virtual space space and 3GB then for the OS to use. Also comes in the situation where its funny that a Live Distro has Swap Space anyways as a mounted partition as a RAM Drive as for Swap Space is for loading memory to a hard drive or other read/write media to assist with system RAM, but if your having RAM assist itself it just seems odd and I assume its just because its the nature of the fact that the Linux has to run as if it is not in a live environment within a live environment and so the RAM Drive virtual drive swap space is needed to make it operate as if it had a read/write able drive to work with even though the laptop for example has no writable drive in it and only runs from the read-only CD-R or DVD-R

I'll just use CD. Seems the first CD for Slackware is only the core system components.

Pretty standard, that, for Linux distros on CD-ROM. First disk for core, 2nd disk and onwards for supplementary stuff. I must admit I was a bit confused about why you didn't just use an install disk.

Actually I don't understand why you couldn't download stuff using your web browser, PRESUMING you have one? Or are you running a console-only install?

The REASON I didn't use an install disk is because I really didn't want to download and burn 5 CD's. I thought I'd just build it up from scratch. Maybe I should install the second CD, I'd SAY it will have wget or fetch.

And yes, I'm using console only.

Once I press enter and the text disappear and nothing happens. It computer is not FROZEN, but all I can do is shut down.

Any advice to my issue will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Id try the x86 distro and see if that works. Some systems have issues with the x64 and only work on the x86. Which CPU is in this Vostro and how much RAM do you have in it? Exact model number can be used if unsure. Vosto's came in both x86 and x64 CPUsI'm new to the Linux services. All I know is about the OS I have (Mint 17) since it was given to me to use on my laptop. Anyways, the Vostro 1015 uses 1GB ram and I BELIEVE it uses intel core 2.

What would be your professional recommendations to use a Linus OS on the Vostro?

Thank you.
With 1GB RAM, I'd still use Mint, but would GO with an x86 verson of it which requires less RAM to operate. Of the 1GB RAM, some of it could be shared with the GPU and so only say 896MB of 1024MB available to the system with integrated GPU using 128MB. There is also a LIGHTER version which is XFCE which runs well on systems with limited RAM.I've just tried your suggestion of the mint 32bit and to my surprise, it works. Smooth and fast.

Thank you again for your advice and time.Cool... Glad that fixed it

Solve : Linux Gaming - No DirectX and OpenGL is not the greatest?

Answer»

Friend of mine built a computer and decided to try avoiding purchase of Windows because he doesnt like Windows ever since Version 8 CHANGED the desktop environment. He saw that lots of games are PLAYABLE through Steam supporting Linux, however the performance of these games isnt the greatest because it used OpenGL drivers. He asked me if there was a way to get DirectX to work somehow through WINE and I said I dont believe that would work, however I dont game on Linux for major game titles and play games that are specific for Linux that arent GPU intensive.

So checking here to see if anyone knows of a alternative to OpenGL for him to get better gameplay. He plays some games through WINE that arent available on steam as well. He is running Linux Mint 18.1 64-bit

His build is a:

AMD FX 6300 6-core 3.5Ghz
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz ( 2 x 4GB )
ASUS motherboard ( not sure which one yet )
MSI GTX 960 with 2GB Video RAM

I brought over a spare drive and did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro (OFFLINE) unactivated where it gives you 3 days before activation required and tested his hardware with games offline and the system runs really well, but its because it has DirectX with Windows 7 Pro. Pulled my drive out and set his Linux drive back up so we know the potential of his hardware, but just not sure if he is going to be able to get that same potential out of Linux or not.

He might just have to bite the bullet and buy Windows 10 or find a copy of Windows 7 which has a desktop environment that he doesnt mind.

Figured I'd see what becomes of this in case there is a DirectX sort if open source project out there that I am not aware of that give Linux better game play than OpenGL?There is no DirectX "replacement" on Linux because there is zero need for one. OpenGL and Vulkan offer the performance and capabilities of DirectX 12.

You need to install the NVidia proprietary driver package in ORDER for MESA (The linux graphics subsystem) to be hardware accelerated. Linux doesn't magically install it like Windows; it uses a compatible software-rendered implementation.

Hey I WOULD like to know the BENIFITS of using linux as an os as opposed to windows. I also want to know the mac os , between the 3 could somebody tell me the advantages and disadvantages, I know end of day it comes down to opinion but would LOVE to hear all of yours.

Linux
Advantages: more stable then windows, better support community, more customisable, Less resources required to run it.
Disadvantage: HARDLY any games to play on it, DIFFICULT for beginner to understand/work with.

pretty much the opposite for windows.

Solve : Installing Ubuntu?

Answer»

In my boot menu I have my SSD (C drive Windows 10) and a blu ray drive. I would like to INSTALL Ubuntu on my hard drive (G). I have looked at the tutorials about how to install Ubuntu, but NONE of them show how to select a drive to install it on, it seems to point to the main C drive. Is it possible to install on a different drive, I don't want to partition my C drive?
Any other INFO on installing Ubuntu I should know about?
Any help would be great.
Many thanks in advance.
Ive INSTALLED Linux along side Windows and during installation you will just need to select the other drive to install to. The bootloader for Linux will detect Windows and will make an entry in grub to give you OS choice at boot with one of them as the default. Knowing the capacity of the G: drive is handy to know your targeting the correct drive as for if you target the wrong drive you could wipe out Windows. If both drives are the same size then you need to DETERMINE which one is the Windows from and which one is the drive to take Ubuntu.

Backup all important data and even create a system image if you havent already so that if a mistake is made you dont lose your Data and OS.

Solve : Which Linux is best??

Which VERSION of linux would be the best to use for a beginner to linux.Hi, I will have to tell you the same as everyone else will, their is NO best distro, each one siuts different users, and different NEEDS.
If you have BROADBAND internet access, why not down load a few live evaluation versions to have a look at, start with Suse 9.1 Live, and GO from there. Just remember that ''live'' versions are slower than a INSTALLED package.
have fun

Solve : Adding number prefix based on text in file name?

Answer»

Hi, Noob here.
I'm trying to learn some basic unix to make some mundane tasks easier. In my job I often get surround SOUND AUDIO files provided and manually ADD numbers to retain the order for injest into other programs. I have seen some commands for renaming or replacing text in strings, however I don't think this will help.

audio.L.wav
audio.R.wav
audio.C.wav
audio.Lfe.wav

Would need to BECOME

1_audio.L.wav
2_audio.R.wav
3_audio.C.wav
4_audio.Lfe.wav

Does anyone have an idea of the best way to have a script recognize the .L.wav in the file name and just add a 1_ to the BEGINNING?

Many thanks in advance.

Solve : linux question please?

Answer»

I am so sick of these heated LINUX debates......ahhhh
Linux users seem to have something negative to say about WINDOWS every shot they can get, it makes no difference wheather they are out at DINNER with friends.
Linux users have this "SIEZE the moment" mentality , ANYONE who mentions windows gets shut down in one fowl swoop.
If you guys were so confident in yourselves and in linux why tell anyone who will listen how wonderful it is?Because that's true.
