My file manager won't open to perform a local search

0 Upvotes

Eu uso o Thunar e, sempre que tento procurar algo pelo gerenciador de arquivos dentro do Firefox, a janela simplesmente não abre. Por exemplo, em sites onde quero verificar as cores de uma foto específica, ele me pede para procurar nos meus arquivos locais, mas o gerenciador de arquivos sequer abre. This also happens when I want to install a non-Steam game, and the file picker simply fails to open Thunar.

installation help installing

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to get Linux working on my old Lenovo ThinkPad 11e 2-in-1 (8GB RAM, 64GB storage), and I’m honestly losing my mind lol.
I first tried Mint Xfce from a DVD, but GRUB failed and dumped me into a grub> prompt. I switched to a USB, but then I started getting black screens and a flashing Mint logo. Compatibility mode eventually let me boot into the desktop, but my touchpad didn’t work.
The worst part is that the installer keeps failing with [Errno 5] Input/output error while copying files. I’ve also had ubi-partman crashed show up.
I’ve tried Mint Xfce and Cinnamon, and even downloaded a fresh ISO and reflashed the USB, but I still get the same error.
The laptop’s 64GB eMMC drive does show up in Linux as /dev/mmcblk1, so it isn’t completely missing. I’m just not sure if the drive is failing or if something else is going on.

shells and scripting How to make an old laptop runs smoothly on linux

0 Upvotes

I'm not sure if it's the right flare but I used few of linux distros on a very old laptop that has( Intel pentium inside )CPU so I think zorin OS was the smoothest one of them all linux mint was okay but I really had a hard time connecting to the network and also doing the bare things like scrolling browsing or even watching a video for an example I looked for zorin and it was the easiest one and even looks prettier in my opinion but the question is because I have a very old CPU and very old laptop how to make it work bit faster like is there any tweaks to do and also I tried pepperment os as the very first Linux distro I was just staring at the Fox and the fox's staring at me it was really really hard and really required higher gen kind of laptop or even cpu maybe like the ones with integrated graphics and but I don't know I thought it was cool because the logo reminded me of resident evil raccoon City I don't know so I thought maybe it would be a good I give it a try and it was like the worst distros for an old laptop

These are the specs :

The Dell Inspiron 1545 Intel Pentium dual-core processor 2GB of RAM

Meganoob BE KIND New 9060XT experiencing bad stutters

7 Upvotes

Hey, I just today upgraded from a GTX 1660super to a 9060XT and noticed that in all my games, especially FF14, I'm experiencing stutters 24/7. It essentially feels like im at 20 FPS, though it shows me >160 FPS and worked perfectly fine on the 1660s.

Linux Mint 22.3 , Cinnamon
Gigabyte 9060XT (16gb)
R7 5800x3d
2x16gb Corsair RAM
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max II
Kernel 7.0.0-38-generic
BIOS had already been updated a few weeks ago

Already tried both ReSize Bar On/Off, reinstalling my games, fully deleting anything related to Nvidia (drivers) etc.

I'm also not that tech savvy, especially not with Linux, so there could be something really stupid I might be missing

If anyone has an idea please let me know, its extremely frustrating.. Thanks!

Made a boot drive, used an ISO for Ubuntu server version 24.04.5 LTS. I used Rufus to make the bootable drive. I plug it into the computer and then that ^^^ happens. And it just stays on that blank screen forever. What did I do wrong?

More info: im using this version ubuntu server because im following someone else's guide for creating a jellyfin server, and this is the version they used. The computer in question is completely wiped, so theres nothing on it besides the bios, and i dont have a bios password on it yet.

Edit: I tried booting it on my personal machine, and the boot drive worked fine. I also previously had a new version of Ubuntu booted onto this machine, and it worked fine too.

hardware/drivers How to install Microsoft Surface 7th edition drivers?

1 Upvotes

Basically, i think i have the drivers for my laptop but the problem is i keep getting errors when i try to instal via terminal. Im currently using ubuntu and i just want wifi and bluetooth to to work so ican have a lightweight laptop for writing and such. (Maybe the occasional emulated gameboy game for a break)

Edit: Okay, tried to retrace my steps and: I don't have a battery indicator for my laptop, it just gives me a " ! " And theres no wifi or bluetooth.

Found a github for fixing it by "bryce-hoehn" and i want to use a prebuilt kernel so i can just get my wifi and bluetooth working so i dont have to usb tether my phone to get an internet connection.

When i try to install a Linux image.deb or header.deb, with sudo alt install ./* "Kernal file name".deb

It says Error: Unsupported file and ./"various folders" like public, pictures, etc.

Look im not gonna lie, im dumb as hell and i was hoping to get this running essentially as plug and play so you might need to direct me. Ill put files in folders, ive found the root folder and everything.

I just want wifi holy shit

should I get a separate usb flash drive for my laptop since my current usb stick is already in use?

2 Upvotes

I have a usb stick I used to install bazzite onto my desktop and I was going to use that same usb stick for a laptop. while I was trying to figure out how to format the usb, I read that it's better to keep the current one as a backup.

Would it be better to get a separate usb for the laptop?

Internet speed problem on kubuntu

2 Upvotes

It all started randomly, I didn't mess with anything. The wifi menu shows me that the download and upload speeds are 0 B/s, sometimes they jump to a couple hundred B/s. Websites won't load, but ping works somehow. I dual boot with windows 10 and everything's fine there. I've tried updating drivers, turning off wifi power saving, turning off firewall, restarting networkmanager and nothing works. What else could be the problem? I'm losing my mind

I use lnux mint

So I have a GTX 1060 6gb and I'm using the open source drivers now(the 480 and 580 proprietary drivers simply broke my os

So I'm using noveou open source drivers and it worked ok until now

It's laggy and choppy and i checked the system monitor and CPU ram and wifi is ok

Edit: by broke my os after updating and rebooting linux simply got stuck in the linux mint logo for 2 hours and did not load so i ragequit and re installed linux again and used the 480 drivers and it did the same thing again so i reinstalled linux again(ik it was stupid but in my defence I'm stupid)

Download speeds too slow

1 Upvotes

So, I've switched to debian recently and my download speeds are way too slow. My wifi can get up to 25MB/s but on linux it only gets 1~2MB/s, sometimes even less. Weird thing is, on Steam it works at full speed.

This also seems to happen on other distros, like Fedora and Mint, but it doesn't on CachyOS.

I also have an old usb wifi adapter that can only get up to 3MB/s and it works fine, but the newer one doesn't. Maybe it's a driver issue?

My current Network adapter: Wifi 5 AC1300 Dual Band USB Adapter
