Linux people - anyone conversant with Unraid os? Particularly 32bit version 5.0.6? Know someone trying to work with it who's running into issues bc it's "old", so apparently resources are kinda gone these days. Anything you can recommend (eg: how to setup ways to add, edit, remove files folders, and setup for remote access) etc would be appreciated.

Need a bit of #linuxhelp I've just installed Ubuntu Studio 25.04 beta on an system. Steam is doing two strange things:
1: It only opens properly when launched from the terminal. When launched front menu it appears for a plot second ten crashes, and loops doing this.
2 (more important): Some games have no sound at all. Some won't even launch saying they can't run without a soundcard. I'm using a Behringer UMC1820, which does work outside of steam and on a few steam games.
Help! #ubuntustudio

it seems that somehow the entire mirrorlist on one of my computer was purged.
The header at the top was still there, but every single entry was gone. I copied the mirrorlist file from my other computer and now it's working just fine.

But I don't have the slightest clue how that could have happened. I never touched pacman at all since I installed #Manjaro weeks ago.

Ich möchte den Laptop auf #Linux umstellen und dabei einen Android/Outlook-Kalender (beides offline) synchronisieren (bisher: #myphoneexplorer)

An sich scheint das ja möglich aber es sollen die Kategorien und Farben der Einträge mitgesynct werden. So fällt #Thunderbird leider aus.

Ich hatte auch schon #Nextcloud mit #CalDAV auf #Raspberry versucht, aber ein Update hat mir alles zersch*ssen und ich kam nicht weiter.

Hat jemand eine Idee oder ein ähnliches Problem?

So I've been thinking about helping people get Linux installed on their laptops. I would go for the Debian installer with included firmware blobs by default. I usually just install the default Gnome desktop BUT maybe MATE would be a better choice for people coming from Windoze? Anyone here who regularly sets up noobs with Linux who can share their experience? #unplugtrump #linuxnoobs #linuxhelp

Potrzebuję porady osób, które się znają. 🙂 Od jakiegoś czasu rozważam kupno laptopa bez systemu, zainstalowanie na nim Linuksa (Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Elementary) i wykorzystuwanie go do pracy w narzędziu CAT, @OmegaTOfficial Celuję w 16 GB RAM i ekran w okolicach 15 cali. Jak nietrudno się domyślić, na laptopa chciałbym wydać jak najmniej, ale wygląda na to, że poniżej 2000 zł za nowy sprzęt możliwości są bardziej niż skromne. Na Allegro znalazłem taką używkę: allegro.pl/oferta/lenovo-think
Warto ryzykować? Będę wdzięczny za porady, zarówno co do laptopa, jak i ogólnie co do mojego pomysłu.

Corrupting @roari with Linux was fun until they encountered a problem I don't know how to solve, so I'm looking for a nerdier nerd to help us out 😅 running Debian with Cinnamon, they answered a prompt to update it and since then the OS won't boot. It'll go through most of its routine and get stuck on `Job systemd-journald.service/start`
The same thing happens in recovery mode. Any ideas on how we can fix this?

i'd love to know why xfce puts my desktop icons on completely the wrong display and not the primary display, even though i have desktop icons set to display only on the primary display... nothing comes up when i use a search engine either. it's all about how to use more than 1 display on linux, which i already know how to do.

a screenshot of a mx linux desktop showing 2 open windows next to each other. the window on the left is the app "arandr", and the open window on the right shows "desktop settings". the "arandr" window shows 3 displays as a square and 2 rectangles, with the middle display having a thick bar on the bottom line indicating it being the primary display. all of them are horizontal except for the 1 on the right, and all but the 1 on the left are rectangles, which is a square. on the "desktop settings" window, there are numerous settings on either ticked or unticked, but the relevant 1 that's ticked is "show icons only on primary display". all of this indicates that there should be icons in the "top left vertical" behind these windows, yet there's none. there are 2 semi-transparent bars on the top and bottom of the screen. the top 1 is thinner than the bottom 1. the top bar shows a bunch of icons, some computer stats (disk, processor, memory (both actual and swap), and (limited) network usage, battery remaining, and sound level), and the date and time. the bottom bar has the workspace changer, app icons as a dock, internet speed, and temperature readings and fan speed for the computer.

Hello dear Linux wizards! :linux:

I have installed WordPress through the "Discover Software Center". But it appears there is a new version out. It wants me to download it, and when I do, I get a tar.gz file.

I have tried installing this using a guide. It had me typing loads of commands but somehow it didn't work for me as the site said (I probably messed it up as I had no idea what I was doing, I just tried to follow the commands).

Is there an easy way to install software that comes in a tar.gz file??? I am so used to Windows, where you just click the "update now" button, or where you get an .exe file that does the work for you...

The "old" WP version still works, but if I could, I would like to upgrade it to the new version.

Warning: I am a huge n00b and I am AuDHD, so I am struggling with learning new techie things... But I am eager to try to learn it... 😊

Thanks in advance for your help with a "simple" explanation, if it's possible to "simply" install something, and if so, how I can do that.

:bear_flowers: Thank you!!!

Edit: a great reply told me the code I was looking for was Ctrl-Alt-U and then I could look up the special sign I need! It works! 😁 Thanks so much :pixelheart:

Ello sweet Linux tech wizards! :linux:

As some of you know, I have finally made the big step a while ago and I installed Kubuntu to my old laptop, so I could keep using it a little while longer...

But, I am so used to Windows, and the online help I found, they assume I know that I have some knowledge about what I am doing in Linux... But......

How do I easily access the special signs? Like how do I get to the copyright sign? I know it's Alt+0169 for Windows, but I haven't a clue how to access it in Linux... Or the special letters, like the ones with umlauts and such? I know most of the alt codes but they are useless in Linux.

The guides I found all talked about things that made no sense to me. So, is here anyone that can assume that I am the biggest n00b that they'll ever meet, and explain to me how to get to those special signs without needing to get a degree first?

I know I am asking a lot, as I'd preferably need a "do this, do that" explanation, so it would talk me through every step along the way. But it would help me loads, as I need those signs and letters quite a bit when I am writing for my blog.

Thanks in advance! And sorry that I am just too silly for the online guides... :sad_dog:

After making changes to /selinux/config I can no longer boot my computer. Recovery mode still works, but trying to boot normally just ends in a black screen.

This seems to be a somewhat common SELinux problem, but I have not been able to find any solution.

Anyone got one for me?

Does someone know how to install a Japanese keyboard on XFCE (fedora) where you can type in romaji and it writes in hiragana/katakana (for example you press i and it writes い)?
I know that it works perfectly on Gnome, but I don't know how to get it on XFCE.

Btw is Wayland usable on Nvidia RTX 2060? The last time I was using it, the screen started to freeze after some time, so I got stuck to XFCE.
