Amazing work man... I landed at an open source shop, and I'm diving down the rabbit hole. Your content is literally saving my job! I can't thank you enough!
Congrats! Also, awesome flight sim setup!
Loved seeing a simulated CAP Flight ;)
Haha! Well... My flight release officer would never release those flights. If you ever get to SoCal, look me up, we'll go flying on a better day!

The hole is deeeeeeep
Regarding Wi-Fi, if installing Linux on an Intel Mac, most of them over the past 12 years or so use a Broadcom chipset, so might need a kmod driver to enable. On Fedora, this requires enabling RPM Fusion repos and installing broadcom-wl (not sure about other distros). However, some kernel updates can break the kmod driver and require uninstalling/reinstalling to fix (I have a USB Ethernet adapter for when Wi-Fi is broken). Of course, the kernel-supported USB Wi-Fi adapter is also a solution here.
For problem 2, there's a similar problem in KDE desktop environments as well. Most people disable what is called Baloo, which is KDE's indexer of choice. The problem isn't exactly the same as with tracker but enough of a performance hit that most people who know about it disable it almost immediately on KDE.
It made my system unusable. Who needs this crap? Thought the name was nepomuk?
@@edwinkm2016 hadn't heard f nepomuc before but I just googled it. Looks like Baloo is the replacement for it. Seems like it was hoped baloo would fix nepomuc's problems but clearly it hasn't.
@@edwinkm2016baloo took over from nepomuk. I’ve found as long as you only index your home folder file names and not contents, it kind of works. Recoll is a great standalone tool though.
In Debian 12 with KDE it's disabled by default.
yeah I never use directory indexers. the find command is plenty fast, if you don't make it search half the hard drive.
My tiny USB wifi dongle has got me out of many problematic situations when it was inconvenient to use a network cable but I needed network access. It works with every Linux distro I've tried it on as well as FreeBSD. I could set a basic system up and then sort out driver support for the built in wifi before putting my trusty dongle away for another day.
And become familiar with dmesg, journalctl and the other logs hiding in /var/log. Some are a bit opaque but sometimes the problem is right there, in bold, with asterisks and 'ERROR' all around it.
Who was the person at GNOME who had the brilliant idea to name the file indexing program “Tracker”?
😆 that is so true
Thank you! We need a playlist of troubleshooting Linux servers
Solid advice on how memory can cause issues and that Linux handles it differently from Windows. The only thing I would add is to run MemTest for at least 12 hours / overnight. Memory issues may not pop up right away, so it's good to run for at least 12 hours.
Thanks for all you linux videos. Your great and very helpful!
You just keep producing GREAT VIDEOs, Jay. I don't know how you do it, but I like them. ...and you're getting better and better with the delivery. Thanks, Jay. You're pretty darned good at this.
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me :)
Thank you so much sir. I'm newbie in coding. #IndonesiaHighStudent
Brilliant list. Having lightly used linux for years and yet you expertly explained some issues that i have encountered and not fully understood some of the background information for.
This video is awesome. You showcased real problems on production, and told how to fix them.
Also, finally someone mainstream enough addressed GNOME's slow performance.
You're singlehandedly the best on Linux UA-cam. Keep up the great work.
>Gnome's slow performance
It sounds like it's more like a slow network you're indexing. Gnome isn't slow at all for me, but I don't have a massive networked fileshare either for it to index.
Thanks Jay! great info 🙂
fantastic job with the video, as always.
Thanks for the video Jay !
Awesome vid, man! Thanks.
Your videos are always really great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙌
Very informative, thank you!
Thank you so much, really valuable information.
Thank you, Jay. Really helpful as always.
Such a great video, thank you 🎉
Thanks for that tip about tracker. Brilliant.
You're a lifesaver man! Thank you!
Thanks, that was very helpful Jay.
One note of caution when replacing wifi cards in laptops. A few Intel wifi cards also require an Intel cpu to be installed. That is because those wifi cards offload some of the processing onto the cpu, and only Intel cpus will support that. So if you put one of those Intel wifi cards into a laptop with an AMD, ARM, or RISC-V cpu, then the wifi card will not work. This is probably more of a problem when taking Intel wifi cards out of old Intel laptops to use in newer non-Intel laptops.
I have an old itronix laptop with PCMCIA accurite floppy, and the itronix BIOS is incomplete regarding most boot devices and works from DMA over the PCI bus from the firmware on the PCMCIA card.
Makes installing os\2 imposable! (It's been done, but I can't get it working)
@@petevenuti7355 Did you post on the wrong video? This video is about Linux, not OS/2. My comment is about more recent Intel wifi laptop cards, not about decades-old laptops with PCMCIA slots and incompatible BIOSes.
I hope you can find a solution. Maybe there is a BIOS upgrade. Maybe a different PCMCIA card/floppy drive would work. There has to be some way to boot a laptop from that era from floppy since I assume it will not boot from CD.
@@georgeh6856 It wasn't about os\2 , I was just making a statement about weird hardware compatibility things , like your Intel card relies on Intel chipset features, my obscure old hardware has BIOS that relies on the firmware of more obscure cards to complete it's function.
But if you know of a bootable Linux floppy with DD and gzip on a single floppy that would help with my os2 issue. (Using a half complete install image)
A lot of the vendors on Amazon warn you about this now - probably because they were sick and tired of dealing with returns.
Very useful tips, very well explained. Useful even for a 15 years Linux user like me, Thanks for sharing.
For the wifi question you had, i installed endeavoros through wifi a while ago. I rebooted and wifi was gone. I also remember using ubuntu 20.04. Logged on one day, and it just stopped recognizing the card. Sometimes, weird things just happen. Wasn't the card, it's working well even today.
Wow. Awesome video. Good advice.
One other possibility with wifi problems. If you have a “used” machine, make sure wifi operation has not been not been disabled in boot up config. I did this on a Raspberry Pi 5 trying to sort out an RF interference problem. Your video just reminded me to undo that.
I use docks that very much require displaylink. Which does stink, especially on Mac. But due to onboard video to support my quad monitor setups (one work, one home) I very much need this, with Mac, Lenovo, and hp laptops.
Yea only way I could have triple monitor setup. I was hoping he would explain an alternative. I'm used to it know but it does become a problem when some sites don't allow screen recording like Udemy or Netflix.
Fascinating. Thanks 😊
Very helpfull, thank you
Thanks for this video. The heads up about tracker is exactly one of the things I've been fighting with for eons with the network shares and didn't even realize it. Another issue for me continues to be FreeIPA. A video or 10 on that would also be awesome:)
nice - great tips and advice - thanks
Great presentation,clear and concise.One thing you did not mention is sound issue,vanishing without no apparent cause, unplugging the machine for 40-50 seconds cures the problem,nevertheless annoying
I always note in a booklet everything I do on my computers for future reference specially if I encounter a problem. Thanks for those excellent advices! Noted in my book! ;)
Thanks for another great video !!
I have a possible subject for a future video, or even series. "Touble shooting" or just an "in depth look" contrasting the different "program packaging platforms" [Snap / Flatpak / Appimage / .deb .../ "Native" (apt /... Etc) the more the better.
Possibly highlighting "pros and cons"BUT mostly how they "work differently" AND what kind of problems they each can have, and how to remedy them.... And I am aware, and have looked at Your videos "presenting" the different "package managements platforms/systems" "in isolation". But what I'm thinking of is a video (or series) where they are "compared and contrasted" in relation to each other, how they "work and break" differently, and how that can be remedied (or used to Your advantage).
Just a suggestion, best regards.
P.s It might just be me, but I've come to despise the ""sandboxed nature"" of flatpaks and snaps as they,, to many times to remember, have totally thrown a wrench into what I'm trying to do. E.g. when working with "creating media", the programs refuse to open or save files outside their own home directory.... A directory which is "living at the end of an infinitely long arbitrarily named path... And every attempt at adjusting the programs permissions have only resulted in another "day" wasted to no avail....
Best regards.
Fully agree with the wifi-card solution (i.e. just swapping it). I had an issue with my laptop where the wifi just couldn't reconnect after waking from suspend. I spent hours looking for a solution, and kind of found one that worked most of the time, but not all the time. Just swapping it out was the best fix. So glad I didn't buy a laptop with a soldered wifi module and RAM etc...
Oh my Jay, this is an awesome video. I work in IT, but 100% windows. I have a home lab where I run Linux, docker and the like and I always run into stupid issues, thank you for going over some and making me feel like this is normal. 👏👏👏
For problem 3, here's a command you can use to find directories containing the largest number of files:
du --inodes -xS | sort | head -n 25
You can specify a different number instead of 25, that's just how I like it.
Grub is the worst nightmare. One update from Arch obliterated it and I was greeted with the grub rescue menu. It wasn't fun. Lol
Also, another weird issue I had the other day is my Bluetooth just stopped working on my desktop. It would never work no matter what I tried. I had to shut off the PC, unplug all the wires and hold down the power button for 60 seconds while it's unplugged. Then re-plug and power on. Worked fine after that.
I love your monitor! What brand and size is it?
Thanks Jay
For programs not opening:
If double click doesn't work, it may just not have registered. Some mice are just finicky. Click once and then press Enter, that way you know the computer has picked up the command. If it still doesn't start, now you have a problem. Try running it from the terminal. This will tell you what the error is, if there is one.
13:35 Another thing: Some apps get REALLY confused if you locale is mixed like for example English language but German units.
Although it can be annoying when you use units which you aren't used to or need to translate words because the guide or documentation you follow is only available in English, pick one, a surprising amount of apps just straight up break from this.
first things first.
Great videos from you! Thoroughly enlightening..
Need a tip for the below.
My linux mint desktop does not start at one go.. How to monitor this on why it could not start?
Thank you.
Very useful video, thank you. Wish I'd had it a year ago, but at least now I have a "education" in Linux problems. Finally got rid of the last ones by ditching the Nvidia card completely and replacing it with one from AMD. The proprietary drivers just weren't working.

FYI:
You do realize that X11 was designed for the same thing, it was not designed to be on one single system....that is why there is a server and a client side.
A lot of ssh problems can be resolved locally by simply using verbose flags. The ssh client is very good at explaining what it is doing at every step.
most useful channel on all internet!
Not sure if this helps, I stumbled across this little fact in Debian 11. By default, there is NO WIFI or Firewall included for install because the distro was written for a server or Enterprise net server NOT a desktop.
Biggest problem I have is laptops not waking up from a suspend. Just a blank screen
I have problems with newer kernels not older, every few kernel updates on fedora for example something breaks, on my debian stable i've had issue with one single kernel version in months
Some potential new problems that may arise in Linux in the year 2024 could include hardware compatibility issues due to limited or no support for certain hardware devices, as well as security vulnerabilities that may be exploited by attackers. To effectively address and resolve these issues, it is important to verify hardware compatibility before installing Linux, ensure that drivers are available or seek information on compatibility. Additionally, staying updated with security patches and following best practices for cybersecurity can help mitigate potential security risks.
You cannot remove that back of all laptops, there are a lot that don't have a back cover to remove. Quite a few you have to remove the keyboard to access motherboard. I volunteer and have setup laptops with Mint and have ran into that problem.
thats correct. i own a Lenovo Y540 and i (always) have to completely disassemble it 1st for changing RAM, SSD, WIFI or Battery. The first plastic nose got broken, and that' s ridiculous!
Fascinating list. The only one of these I'm worried about is my memory going bad, and thankfully that's never happened. One tip I can give on indexing your files, as it's an immensely useful thing to have when you're trying to find a file and you've forgotten precisely where you put it, is to use mlocate. A simple cron job to run updatedb during those times when you're not using your computer, and then you can run locate from the command line to find whatever you're looking for. It's super fast, and I've got multiple terabytes of files. I'm sure someone has written a wrapper for it if anyone wants to avoid the terminal and only use GUI tools, and if anyone reading this knows of such tools, leave a reply for others.
Does tracker also track files on a HPC system connected via gvfs in Nautilus? If so where do I add the .trackerignore file? I have a custom landing location (/scratch/$USER) as I am not the admin of the HPC.
Very helpful, Señor Pinguino.
Hi Jay,
You should do videos on jellyfin and tailscale.
I got an Asus vivobook for xmas; I ran LMDE6 in live mode and the wifi card wouldn't work. I tried Fedora and it worked fine. Could this be the kernel? I thought LMDE6 would be new enough based on Deb12.
Yeah just keep stuff up to date in general! It happened to me today that I went to use an Ansible galaxy package that depended on a pip package and it wasn't working. I could have wasted time googling debugging and stuff. But I just updated the pip package and then it works fine! Just update stuff!
Pip sucks!
#4 in fairness, no forum said that was the easiest solution. not that I saw anyway. The issue was a little different for me that after the next update my wifi was supported, but I did end up in live mode compiling the driver and it worked. It seemed worth it until i had to do it again lol
To troubleshoot and resolve issues with Linux, including the decision-making process for identifying and fixing problems, you can follow these steps:
1. **Observation**: Identify the symptoms of the problem.
2. **Deduction**: Determine the possible causes of the issue.
3. **Action**: Take steps to address the root cause of the problem.
4. **Testing**: Verify the solution to ensure the problem is resolved.
Additionally, utilize diagnostic tools like Top for performance issues and consider reinstalling GRUB or fixing damaged partitions for boot errors. Document your troubleshooting process for future reference.
This fixed some problems I didn't even know i had.
My problem is that some of the programs look tiny. I was wondering could you have programs set to a specific resolution somehow?
Common Linux skill issues 😸
Seriously tho, in my experience running Linux, all the issues were caused either by my crooked hands or by goddamn Nvidia drivers writing stuff into Xorg or Xorg related configs.
"Skill issue" doesn't mean you're dumb or bad or should just quit trying, it just means that there's stuff to learn, and THAT is extremely cool.
7:00 okay so I actually had an error related to this recently. I sometimes experiment with machine learning and as part of that I tend to generate a *lot* of sample files.
I accidentally had a folder loaded up with tens of thousands of files. It was at the point where trying to even go to the parent folder with Dolphin would result in my system maxing out my RAM usage and thrashing, becoming nearly unusable until I REISUB.Similarly, even trying to pull up a terminal and run ls on the folder would start flooding my RAM and eventually bring my system to a halt.
Eventually I just had to nuke the entire folder by making an empty folder and using rsync to nuke the overfilled folder by syncing to the empty folder without actually examining the contents of the original. It was a paaaaaaaain.
Hey Jay, by mistake i deleted my superblock with fdisk it was a zfs disk anyway i can fix that? :)
Laern linux tv has been a great help and a partner for my transition from windows to linux. I transitioned because prices of windows licences are of the charts costing around 40 grand which is just unaffordable and also the privacy at best is questionable.Speaking of wi-fi drivers what is 15 bucks to United States is around 1200 bucks + taxes in India that's what I earn in 2 weeks as a custom pc builder so it's quite expensive for me in India where the taxes for computer related appliances are ridiculously high which is around 34% + the profit by our version of micro-center
8:52 that's rich. How many times have I seen the live cd work with my wifi card but the fresh install fail; basically every live environment (even arch) has more drivers/firmware files installed than the default install
in terms of DisplayLink, in order to use “regular” USB C docking stations, both the station and your laptops’s port have to support either Thunderbolt or DisplayPort. Especially on lower end laptops, you may have a USB C port that supports data transfer, but isn’t a Thunderbolt or a DisplayPort compatible port.
That being said, i’ve never gotten DisplayLink to work properly either so there’s really no good solution here expect to replace the laptop or deal with the lack of a dock.
The Linux kernel has builtin support for DisplayLink through USB 2.0 (using the udl) driver, but as soon as you want the improved speeds of USB 3.0, now you need evdi and the displaylink drivers
Have you ever covered the issue when a boot drive fails and is replaced with a new boot drive with a restoration of the original content ... and custom folder (directory)s icons have been lost (links severed) even though the replacement boot drive was named as the previous (failed ) drive?
Studio layout was changed or video mirrored? But text on T shirt is correct...
I used to distro hop once or twice a year. Now I've been using Fedora, and I don't feel the need to switch except that I can't get virtual box working no matter what I try... :( any advice?
No mention of halfway failed updates and grub issues?
They are the most common I've run into in my years if doing Linux...
My Wi-Fi problem was fixed by using an Ethernet cable and installing updates. The wi-fi worked from the usb but not the initial install.
With regard to that final point, I think I've come across an issue that's the opposite, where I'm having issues with latest kernels with DisplayPort connection between my GPU and monitor. When dualbooting with Windows, and picking Fedora in GRUB menu, the GPU fans will go full speed, and the monitor will show "no signal" message before going blank. Never happens with Windows, so should not be hardware-related. The only semi-workaround I've found is to use 6.6.14 kernel instead of 7.3 or 7.4. Frustrating.
I have an issue..
I need to delete a file which occurs in multiple folders & sub folders...
How do I find them (which I believe, I can with the 'find' command)
And how do I delete them in preferably single command..
Need help here..
External PCIe ports should be a thing for laptops for docking system
I've had countless instances where the wifi card worked just fine in the livecd, but post install it didn't. It's just a thing that happens with certain wifi cards. usually realtek or broadcom cards. there are also a handful of intel cards that were problematic. we can't really pin that on the user(or the card), that's a bug with the installer. linux distros and wifi can be horrifically inconsistent. especially on laptops. Granted, i've not run into this issue at all recently, but i'd not be surprised if someone else is dealing with it still.
Thank you,, I saved your video to watch later..
Is your monitor, by any chance, an AGON monitor? AG493UCX2?
Hi, How do I fix video player in pop os
Nice video, but your image and sound is just out off sync. That distracts, at least in my case. Not sure if it's you or UA-cam, since it's not there in other video's I guess you lost a nanosecond or two somewhere.
One of my frustrations with Linux (Mint LMDE6) is rights over new drives. When I add a drive to a system, I can see the drive but I can't use it because I don't own it. I have seen the workarounds that should fix this, but it's one hell of a complicated procedure for adding storage. I just go for external drives, it's too much of a hassle. Bit of a shame of a gen4 NVME drive though, USB3 speeds are just what they are. Is there an easier way to put a drive into a Linux system and just format and use it, like in OSX, OS9, Windows, DOS, etc?
It really depends on what you're trying to do with the new disk. You should be able to partition and set up a filesystem on it then mount it into your system wherever you like. I have four drives in my system: an SSD root/boot partition, a pair of spinning rust HDD's in RAID1 (mirror) for my home partition and another SSD mounted at /srv/share for VM images.
You do have to tell your system where the new disk is and how you want it mounted by editing the /etc/fstab file but you only have to do that once.
I had an issue with Proxmox 8.1 with a Nvidia GT610. NvidiaFB kept crashing the install
Need troubleshooting for server issues, iostst, vmstat, etc.
displaylink is actually useful on hackintoshes that have the video output port directly connected to an unsupported dGpu, but that is a really particular case 😂
Broadcom has been the baine of my Linux experience.
That'll be pretty much because there are no free/open source drivers available. They don't share info about their chip sets and only provide 'binary blobs' which may or may not be compatible with your system. I have the same issue with a couple of my old laptops.
my armbian (ubuntu based for arm64 SBC) had problem pkexec can't run after upgrade from 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS.
9:26 I have had live image work and install doesn't.
Off topic question: what is the meaning of those two Chinese signs from you wall?
Also, if you're unable to SSH into a remote machine, and that machine is a VM, there's a good chance this VM has, pardon my French, shat the bed and you might wanna reboot it
I got an ASUS vivobook laptop with Realtek ALC 294 chip. Whatever I do, I cant seem to get sound through my speakers. Bluetooth earbuds work OK. Please help.
There's no file manager that comes remotely close to Directory Opus on Windows. Unfortunately, that is a problem that can't be fixed.
It looks a bit like Midnight Commander from what I can tell. I believe Gnome-Commander is also a dual-pane file manager with some similar functionality.
Under WIFI card i understand the old PCMCIA cards, WIFI module would be more appropriate.
I am Windows user, since the beginning of the year I tried Linux, now I am back on Windows, but overall my experience was almost fine. But I stumble of an odd issue. Most of my partitions were with NTFS, of course Lin one was on ext4, and I like to automount all my drives to be just ready. I tried Fedora on Gnome and KDE and Mint on a Cinnamon of course. Just one of the USB drives with NTFS partitions, just works terrible under KDE, it tries to connect, refresh, freezes dolphin, same drive under Gnome or Cinnamon with their default File App, no problem - it drove me crazy, and this particular drive I have to had with NTFS. Probably something with dolphin, I recreated those NTFS under Linux directly and had impression that it fixed the issue, but no. :D
In terms of your part saying that you wanted to automatt all drives.... 1:49 Were you trying to dull boot linux mint and windows from the same p. C.?
If that is a yes, you're really safer off. Having links distribution of your choice installed on a separate SSD and when the installation is taking, place insuring that your windows drive. Or drives are not connected to the computer whatsoever
Also you mustn't sure that secure boot and fast start up. Both within the graphical user interface of windows desktop and in your u e e f I bio selection are disabled... These so-called falsely advertised features that microcrap claims does useful things do not do what they are advertised to do. And only serve to have a nasty tendency to lock down hardware from any other operating system world, making use of them..
Otherwise of dual booting was not your mission and you're just simply wanting to have the data drive that you make you submit windows that does not contain the operating system usable in Linux. You really better off having that drive 4 manage first to exFat... Then put the data you want on there... Then you can boot into the Lenox desktop of your choice. And you should be able to easily mountain and make full use of it
Dismiss, it has never failed me since guaranteed. Using Linux mint cinnamon since late year 2010
And i'm sorry to sound possibly biased here, But I have heard Minnie. Issues cited about the file manager dolphin across the recent handful of years. That warrants me not even worrying about trying it regardless of the hardware regardless of the lenox distribution of choice regardless of the desktop the involved.
@@motoryzen nah, that's fine. It wasn't dual boot, I go full Linux, I just have 6 drives, some internal SATA SSD, some NVMe, couple of them HDD and SSD and NVMe over USB, and only one of this drive NVMe SSD over USB was causing the problems. And did not have the issue in gnome or cinnamon, but KDE was like nope. And All was ok, fstab edited properly, same attributes, so I think it is dolphin :)
To be fair, the nice experience so far I had with Mint on Cinnamon, but I would like to see more extension and applets for it... + it is only a personal visual preference, but I really like to have some transparency with blur under, and afaik it does not work in cinnamon.
@@slizgi86 Are there problems accessing that disk from the terminal? Can you see it with 'lsblk', 'cd' onto it, 'cp' a file from it or to it? This might indicate if it's just the file manager or a KDE problem. Chcck your logs to see if the disk is mounting OK or throwing errors. Crack open a terminal and try 'less /var/log/dmesg*' and search for some disk identifier or 'sudo dmesg -w' to list and follow the log to see problems occurring in real time. (Enter 'q' to exit 'less' and Ctrl-c to quit the 'dmesg' list.)
If it is some sort of Dolphin issue, there are lots of other file managers you can use. You are not limited to the one that comes with the distribution. That's just the 'suggestion' from the distro packagers.
I have two different Linux Mint boxes and after awhile they will both start to get static in the sound. Mostly after switching between apps like facebook and youtube. Haven't found a solution yet.
Only thing is I don't understand in this video is why it doesn't have more views 🤔
Nice
