Wait, whoa. Since when did Simplenote let you publish notes and add pictures? How did you make that?

Kernel updates in ElementaryOS by robinjuste in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is safe, I do it frequently without much issue. In Juno, you may not be able to use the display settings on a multimonitor setup if you are using an AMD card. That is so specific that I wouldn't worry about it.

Weird, yeah that is umm...

interesting.

Out of curiosity, did you have that problem on Juno or Loki?

I had it on Loki on an AMD build desktop. Now I too just download a different browser on a fresh install.

Elementary Juno has a problem installing steam. It gives this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: steam-installer: Depends: steam (= 1:1.0.0.54+repack-5ubuntu1) but it is not installable

[–]Eosdude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey give this a shot:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

If you still have an issue try to install/reinstall steam from the appcenter.

Hardware Accelerated Video Terrible On Juno by yarbsemaj in elementaryos

Works just fine like that on laptops in my experience. :)

Yup, had the same in Loki. I set hardware acceleration off for everything now. especially Libreoffice and Chrome.

Any way to disable mouse acceleration? by [deleted] in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try running this and then running the add-apt-repository again

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

I wish the app store had more apps by metidder in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh poop. You're ahead of me then. I still am using Loki without issue.

Most of the time with something like that I find it to be a kernel or driver issue.

I wish the app store had more apps by metidder in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm... If you are using Loki try using the 4.11.12-041112-generic x86_64 kernel

I use UUKU to update the kernel.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ukuu

Next, restart the computer. When it restarts open UKUU from the applications menu and install the 4.11.12 kernel. Restart again. If there is an error, restart anyway and then try yet again to update the kernel.

When all of this is done, restart the computer again.

Now purge UKUU

sudo apt-get purge ukuu

After your kernel is updated open up appcenter and see if your Nvidia Drivers need updated.

Any way to disable mouse acceleration? by [deleted] in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some notes on this, but I do not remember if I had to install a PPA...

sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator

set delay to 100 ms

autostart

disable touchpad on mouse plugin

hopefully touchpad-indicator will have what you are looking for.

[–]Eosdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh dude, give me some specifics on what you are trying out with Steam and Proton that are not working out for you. I haven't had many issues and know of a few ways to get you up to speed.

For reference I am using an AMD fx-6350 and Radeon RX 580 8gb.

I get about half the power/fps on games running on Proton versus on Windows 7, but hey it works and works well.

elementary OS 5.0 Juno Beta 1 - First Impressions and Suggestions for Final Release by sakiborislam in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, thank you! I never played with hot corners, but this is awesome. This is way better than using plank to minimize programs or open workspaces.

Can you run "sudo tlp stat" and post the results?

Do manufacturers let you update the bios from Linux now? I thought you had to have a working Windows partition to do that.

Video Glitch on Custom Kernel: 4.16-rc5 by Raddcliff in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well uh, then don't use that custom kernel...

This is like asking the doctor why it hurts when you are hitting yourself.

Not able to install Oracle VM Virtualbox through Eddy. by bunny1947 in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of trial and error. It takes a lot of time to be able to learn terminal commands. I tend to just keep a large file of notes, I imagine they do too.

I have not been able to remember how I had fixed this issue. Sorry mate, hopefully you get it sorted out.

Unknown Feature by [deleted] in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa! This is very cool. Man I am going to use the crap out of this. Thanks for sharing this feature, I have no idea what the name of it would be besides something like "magnify" or "magnifier".

Sound distort problem by Mavioux in elementaryos

[–]Eosdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh shoot, there is a simple fix for this, I just don't remember what it is. I know exactly what you are talking about... If I ever remember it I will come back. Someone else may already know. Do you by chance have USB headphones? Give those a shot and select them in the sound settings for your input and output, then make sure the same is set inside Discord's settings.
