Hello everyone.

I started my PC for the day and cannot access my LAN and have no internet using the internal NIC on my Asus B550-F motherboard and a separate PCI NIC as well. Booted into a Fedora LiveCD and do have internet on Firefox. The PC was working perfectly last night when I shut it down.

My GL-MT6000 router sees the PC as a wired client and issued its static IP, but I cannot ping the PC from any other computer on the same network.

I'm pretty new to Linux, so I'm not sure what info to supply, but I'm hoping someone can offer a useful suggestion.

Thanks very much!

System: Linux Mint 22.1 Xfce, with the following golang files installed.

I'd like to install meme

• https://www.linuxlinks.com/linux-candy-meme-fun-tool-create-memes/
• https://github.com/nomad-software/meme

But when I try the installation instruction from the GitHub page, I get

 go

    
$ go get -u -v github.com/nomad-software/meme
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
    'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
    To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
    like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
    For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
    or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.


  

When I replace get with install, I get:

 go

    
$ go install -u -v github.com/nomad-so

I have a rather large Python script that I use as basically a replacement for autohotkey. It uses pynput for keyboard and mouse control - and at least on Windows, it works exactly how I expect.

I recently started dual-booting with Linux and have been trying to get the script to work here as well. It does work but with mixed results - in particular, I found that pynput has bizarrely wrong output for special characters, in a way that's both consistent and inconsistent.

The simplest possible case I found that reproduces the error is this script:

 python

    
import time
from pynput import keyboard

# Sleep statement is just to give time to move the mouse cursor to a text input field
time.sleep(2)

my_kb = keyboard.Controller()

text = '🍆' # Eggplant emoji
my_kb.type(text)

time.sleep(1)

I use a different Browser and hence uninstalled firefox. But it still receives updates through the system, same with thunderbird. My upgrade manager flags them as security updates sometimes, so I install them. But are they actually necessary? Can I make my system filter them out when updating, or is that a bad idea?

Solution: run dpkg -l "*firef*" to find there were still firefox packages installed. Removed them. Hopefully did the trick.

Sometimes when I restart my computer ill click cachyos in refind and itll just keep restarting until eventually it boots when I click it, sometiems when I start my computer its in the cachyos bootflags editing screen? How do I reset my bootflags to whatever was default if I accidentally changed them. Once it eventually launches it runs fine, but I have to goto the lockscreen to shutdown.

Hello.. new Linux convert here, mostly been using the web interface (alexandrite) and Connect on my phone. But I'm wondering what's good on Linux. I'm on Arch btw, lol. :P thanks!

EDIT: ok, sounds like browser it is. Thanks all!

I have a friend who I recently learned is looking to switch to Linux and I offered to help, since I've been using Linux for ages. I'm not the most technical user, but in some ways I think that makes me uniquely well suited to be a new person's guide, and I'm pretty familiar with the install and setup process sans one big thing, proprietary graphics drivers, I've generally always been installing Linux on a laptop it an integrated gpu

They let me know they have an nvidia graphics card, I think 30 series if I remember right, we don't know what DE or distro might be a good fit for them and I told them we'd start by test driving a few, see what they thought of the interfaces, and pick a distro from there

Can you boot and use the OS without installing the proprietary drivers, or do you need to install them via like tty or something? I know nvidia started open sourcing their drivers and some amount is in the kernel now, I assume proprietary drivers are still optimal, if not explicitly neces
