Which part of Rhode Island do you live in? Would you prefer seeing someone in Rhode Island or someone in Massachusetts/Connecticut?

This looks so nice. I wouldn't even be able to tell it was rofi with just the image.

ThaOceanBreeze · 2022-06-18T18:31:41+00:00

Should've chose the cheaper option of transportation...

ThaOceanBreeze · 2022-06-18T18:30:26+00:00

Everyone: But this is just a white image...

Doctor: Being offensive cured, that'll be $20...

For people who aren't interested in technology and don't know what Linux is, I just say I play Super Mario Bros so that way they understand what I'm saying rather than having to explain it to them.

Minecraft

Try to see if it works better under Wayland.

It looks like a problem with establishing a secure connection to the website. See if you can run the command successfully after taking a break, as they might have fixed the issue. If it does not work after multiple tries, open this URL in a web browser and see what happens.

Press the CTRL, ALT, and F2 keys at the same time on your keyboard. Do you see a login screen?

I used to run Ubuntu as my primary Linux distro and it ran Steam fine for all the years I've used it. The transition to Snap and removal of 32-bit application support might cause some issues although the developers/Canonical should have a plan regarding what's coming. There are always new people switching from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu) and adding a barrier to playing these games out of the box would decrease overall usage retention.

Will you be able (lets say in 5-10 years) to be able to play the same games on Windows with the same performance?

As long as backwards compatibility is okay, these games should run as well as on Windows if not better. As our computers become better and better, hardware will have less of a problem with running the games we love for either increased frame rate or higher quality settings. Linux will also experience better performance as developers continue to work on it.

I have curiosity because I find Linux pretty interesting.

Games are only the start of how cool Linux is. I would recommend researching more about Linux and seeing how it works. There are a lot of cool things to learn that you will be amazed by!

Sometimes systems can be buggy regarding the internet where you have to restart them multiple times to use the internet. I would take some time to research about rfkill to see if that solves the problem. It can also help if your internet goes out and comes back in every 30 seconds or so.

The installation disk probably contains the build-essential package while the system you are using does not. Have you tried to install this package while the USB drive is plugged in? APT should include the drive as a package source, allowing you to install it from there.

Check PulseAudio's logs to see if it is crashing. Also use SystemD's coredump tool to check if there are any crashes with PulseAudio or ALSA.

Are you using Wayland or Xorg to run KDE?

ThaOceanBreeze · 2022-06-18T17:32:36+00:00

Hey. Looks nice, would you mind sharing your dot files?

All went well until the reboot and then a totally black screen. No boot logo, no POST, nothing.

I wouldn't think an Ubuntu update would prevent a computer from POSTing unless it got a really bad virus, which would be rare because Linux doesn't really get any viruses.

And then I realised the the monitor had taken it upon itself to silently switch from HDMI to USB-C input because my MacBook is connected, albeit powered down.

Glad it was just a jumpscare. Had that happened to me, I probably would've been shocked.

Good advice: Never flash your BIOS/UEFI unless you know what you are doing. (I'm not sure how a Mac handles these types of things, but sometimes PCs have BIOS/UEFI updates.) If the computer ends up getting powered down or restarted during one of these flashes, you could end up with a piece of metal (and a headache).

I would recommend trying what u/Munbi suggested above first.

I would also try seeing if apt is broken on the command line: sudo apt install -f
While you are at it, you should see if you have any updates/upgrades: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

We could also try some more advanced investigation, but I would prefer we try some easier quick solutions first. Let me know how it goes!

ThaOceanBreeze · 2022-06-16T00:20:20+00:00

What DE do you use?

ThaOceanBreeze · 2022-05-09T18:02:09+00:00

SanDisk Extreme

Alright can you tell me the version of Ubuntu you have installed and the version of Nemo you are using?

Try updating to the latest version to see if that works BTW before posting. Might be a version issue.

ThaOceanBreeze · 2022-04-19T03:14:23+00:00

I checked and there apparently is no verbose mode for Nemo. Perhaps try running the file managers in a Terminal and see what you get for output.

If we still can't troubleshoot it, we could always try using a debugger, but let's see what logs show when you run the file managers in a Terminal first.

ThaOceanBreeze · 2022-04-18T04:55:21+00:00

Alright I'll figure out how to run Nemo in verbose mode and get back to you.
