So im kinda new to this. I have a new Virtual Machine openSUSE Leap, downloaded some python stuff and pgAdmin4 but i dont think it's relevant.
I've downloaded a folder that i need to be displayed on desktop. Saved it in /home/geeko/Desktop but it didn't display it. Tried to move it simply using my mouse - didn't work. Moved it by "mv" comand to root desktop - still isn't working. Tried both /usr/shared and /usr/shared/applications but it didn't change anything
No Problem. Try this: Open a Terminal and...
cd Desktop
ln -sfv /Path/to/your/folder NameOnDesktop
And then look at the Desktop what you have done.
PS: I am using KNOPPIX 8.6 with LXDE on a Keydrive

This issue is just driving me crazy. I have used VB with SSH before and had no issues. For the first time I decided to make the change to mint for my computer just run into a crazy amount of privilege's issues. However this one I just cant figure it out.
I am opened the terminal in Visual Studio and tried to send a sudo, php, apt-get literally any command. It will always come back with command not found. I also tried to open a bash terminal and got the same result.
However if I just open a normal mint terminal all the commands work. So it is not that i dont have sudo or apt-get install.
What am i doing wrong here?
i once had this problem and fixed it by changing the sh ( top right corner of the terminal ) to bash by clicking it, check if maybe you have the option to
I am new in Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 WSL) and I got a problem hopefully you can help me.
I can create a file from PhpStorm like index.php or anything, but I can not oversave an existing file. The message is
Unable to save settings. Failed to save settings.Please restart PhpStorm.
I tried switch off Windows Firewall, but did not work.
I did reset a few times WSL and reinstall PhpStorm but did not work.
The Notepad++ can save files to the shared folder (user/Jon/.azure).
try to set to login in wsl as root from CMD terminal -> ubuntu20 config --default-user root
I've been using vscode locally on a linux machine successfully.
Last night, I installed ssh-remote and connected to this linux machine from a windows machine. Everything appeared to be working fine from windows.
I just sat down at the linux machine this morning and could not open any of the files shown in the left pane (double clicking did nothing). I tried right clicking and selecting "open to the side". This caused a blank screen to open to the side.
Thinking maybe this was due to my windows laptop still being open at home, etc, I closed vscode on the linux machine and navigated to a random text file in my home directory using Nautilus (ubuntu file manager), right-clicked open in vscode, and it started vscode with no open files, no open folders, etc.
Finally, I restarted my linux machine, logged in, and tried the most direct, reproducible test I could think of, which still just started vscode with a blank screen (no editor):
(base) me#pc:~$ ls -l .bashrc && code .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 4279 May 6 13:09 .bashrc
<then vscode GUI opens, displaying no editors>
The following "worked" as in now I can open and edit stuff, but all my extensions have to be reinstalled:
sudo dpkg --purge code
rm -fr ~/.config/Code
rm -fr ~/.vscode
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/code_1.57.0-1623259737_amd64.deb
Note, last night when accessing from windows, I enabled settings-sync. No idea if that screwed things up, but in the past I've used mac laptops to connect this way (the Microsoft ssh-remote extension with settings sync turned on at both ends) and never had a single problem.
I tried to install Scratch 2 under Linux for Education at school. I followed these good instructions to install Adobe Air - everything works fine. But if I execute the Air-Installfile for Scratch I will be asked for the root password. In the little Pop-Up-Window it's not working so I tried to start the Air-File with these:
/opt/Adobe\ AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer /{absolute path to downloadfolder}/Scratch.air
It works fine, but I get an error saying error that my Scratch-Install-File is broken... I re-loaded again but nothing changed. Does someone has an helpful idea?
Look at your file size. The download have maybe been interupted before it was complete. It happened to me so I downloaded it again with a download manager like JDownloader and installed it successfully but only with sudo
sudo /opt/Adobe\ AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer /{absolute path to downloadfolder}/Scratch.air
The problem is that you can't launch it directly when you installed it with sudo rights. I'm looking for a solution but this is another problem.
I am new to Linux so I have created a bootable usb drive with Linux Mint on it so that I can play around with it for a while before deciding if I want to install Linux on my harddrive.
I have created the pendrive with persistence so that I should have the ability to install software on it. However I can't seem to install anything.
I have downloaded the graphical linux postgresql installation file, given it execution permissions and then get the following error when I try to run it:
There has been an error
Error changing ownership of
/tmp/postgresql_installer_120403f9ba/lib/postgresql to root
I also downloaded the 7zip tar file, extracted it and tried to run the install.sh file. But nothing happens. Im just trying to see if I can get anything to install.
Im guessing either there's something with permissions that im not doing correctly, or it has something to do with the fact that im running linux from a usb drive.
As mentioned, im brand new to linux.
I have figured out what was required. I was trying to double click the install file from the GUI which wasn't working. I had to run it using sudo from the command line. Looks good now.
