[cosmic trench]

I don't understand why it won't like detect your double monitor

[dense fox]

if you do... the you should be able to click on the display and drag it from covering the second display..

[cosmic trench]

1st off

don't use nouveau

[tribal zealot]

do you have the closed source nvidia graphics drivers installed? if not it might be the problem for all of this graphics problems, agian if that's not the case investegate the link i sent

[pure jackal]

whats a nouveau im super new to linux

[cosmic trench]

recommended option go go

[pure jackal]

i tried all the options on the driver manger

[tribal zealot]

trashy open source nvidia driver

[tidal mist]

[tribal zealot]

[cosmic trench]

#1243348509885730867 message

[pure jackal]

i dont know

[tribal zealot]

yeah do the firest option there that says (reccomended)

for the graphics drivers

[pure jackal]

i tried that before but its not even letting me choice it

[cosmic trench]

1 is a laptop monitor?

[pure jackal]

wait its working now!

[tribal zealot]

your welcome

[pure jackal]

nope, im on a desctop

[tidal mist]

if you dont care about it, try going into your bios boot settings, and turn it off

[tribal zealot]

if you meed more help ask

[tidal mist]

that might fix your monitor problem

[pure jackal]

not the monitor but like the driver stuff

[tidal mist]

although if its working now, dont worry about it

[cosmic trench]

ah ok but I srsly think it was like ur monitor NOT being connected properly to your GPU

[pure jackal]

me too!

[tribal zealot]

might be this

[cosmic trench]

ye

[pure jackal]

but it boots onto the other monitor when the m,ain on is unpluged

[cosmic trench]

that's not an issue rly

[tribal zealot]

also in steam enable proton play so you can play all your favorite windows games with no hasle https://www.howtogeek.com/738967/how-to-use-steams-proton-to-play-windows-games-on-linux/

[tidal mist]

oh and when you switch drivers, make sure you reboot your computer now

[pure jackal]

it was working

[cosmic trench]

yeah and also your disk issue where is that

[pure jackal]

hold on let me restard (doin that now!)

[cosmic trench]

your disk error issue

[tidal mist]

where are you trying to install it

proton i mean

[cosmic trench]

maybe you have to just completely reinstall steam?

[pure jackal]

Just my main drive

[pure jackal]

I'll try that

But then like there are 80hb of games that I can't play

And I need to install them again

[tidal mist]

you wont have to reinstall them nah

[tribal zealot]

also if you want games that werent programed for linux special enable steam's proton (https://www.howtogeek.com/738967/how-to-use-steams-proton-to-play-windows-games-on-linux/)

[tidal mist]

just steam

[cosmic trench]

no see the "library" I think your steam cannot detect it

[tribal zealot]

you can probably play many more if you enabkle proton

[pure jackal]

i had proton on

[tribal zealot]

oh sorry

thought you didn't because of the other problems, thought you were more of a begineer

[cosmic trench]

I mean u HAVE to have proton on if you want to play windows games on your linux system

[pure jackal]

i had proton on

but then it like bugeged up and like wont let me redownload it

[cosmic trench]

path error I bet

[pure jackal]

and my other monitor wont show up

ill re install steam tho

[cosmic trench]

sudo apt purge steam

[tribal zealot]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/1727575977578816536/ this forum looks helpful, if you still cant install it the have many solutions for this bug here

[tribal zealot]

sudo rm -rf ~/.steam

run that after clicking ok

[cosmic trench]

I didn't know it could have like a dependency error

[pure jackal]

did that!

[tribal zealot]

now it's fully gone

[pure jackal]

me and linux are cursed i swear

how do i install steam

the package mantger version doesnt dected my 8tb hdd

[cosmic trench]

1. go to steam homepage & follow their guide
   or
2. go to package manager and install via flathub

[tribal zealot]

this is why i really don't like debian or ubuntu based distros, apt is horrible as a package manager and they try to appeal to beginners but never teach them linux so they become lost in their own system

[tribal zealot]

sudo apt install steam

[cosmic trench]

fedora user?

[tribal zealot]

arch

[cosmic trench]

based

[pure jackal]

steam is redownloading

but like why wont my monitor show up

[tribal zealot]

it's either not plugged correctly or you have to do some special stuff i'm not thinking about right now

with your gpu and stuff

[cosmic trench]

I think either connection issue OR some driver issue

[pure jackal]

i dont think its a conection issue

[tribal zealot]

i think driver is less likely though

[pure jackal]

and like i cant even cahnge the reffers rate on my main

its ment to be 165 hz but its locked at 89. somehtuong

[tribal zealot]

what's your monitors name?

[cosmic trench]

I also think @pure jackal connected his cable to his motherboard rather than the slots on his GPU

[pure jackal]

pleasse have more confidence in me then that

[tribal zealot]

that means another package is being installed or wants you to use sudo

[pure jackal]

steam install doing something wakky

[tribal zealot]

so make sure nothing else is currently being installed

[cosmic trench]

try changing the cable

[pure jackal]

okay i will

[tribal zealot]

and run as root like this "sudo su (enter) then apt install steam"

[pure jackal]

let me film it too ill brbr

Ok the video sending

[tribal zealot]

well

it gave you a output explaining what to do

follow

[pure jackal]

watch the video and tell me some thing crazy is not going on

i know its long bhut it it probes the monitor stuff

[tribal zealot]

you have both plugged in and on right?

[pure jackal]

at the start

and then i uplug the main one and the other showers up after a restart

[pure jackal]

i tried to but im i have no idea bout comand prompt

[pure jackal]

watch the video!

the cable is fine

[tribal zealot]

dude, all im asking you to do is to type exactly what it said which was you must manually run sudo dpkg --configure -a to fix the problem

[pure jackal]

ohhh okay my badd!

steam downloaded!

[tribal zealot]

good

[tribal zealot]

yeah usally when it says nothing that's a good thing

[pure jackal]

but it wont open now

[tribal zealot]

did you try running the command steam in your terminal

[pure jackal]

omg whoa i didnt know ytou could do that

[tribal zealot]

yeah typing the package name in a terminal usually works to start it up

[pure jackal]

i was just looking for it in the search thing

but like im not cray right? my monitors are doing somehting silly

right???

[tribal zealot]

well

it looks like it's having trouble having both plugged in at the same time

[pure jackal]

yeah thats the problem!

[tribal zealot]

and it works on windows?

[pure jackal]

it did yes

and on kubuntu

[tribal zealot]

you tried kubuntu

that was my first distro

but i don't think i'll ever revisit it

other distros are better

anyway enough yapping let me help you

[pure jackal]

i did! i loved it but like i couldnt fifure out appimage files and like i tried all the perm stuff and it didnt work

[tribal zealot]

https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher this always fixes all the app image problems for me

[pure jackal]

ehhh tahnsk for the help but i should be fine now

[tribal zealot]

just make it executable first and use this and you'll have no problems

[pure jackal]

t5he issue is the monitors and steam

[tribal zealot]

does steam work now?

[pure jackal]

i can download stuff again

but i cant launch games

[tribal zealot]

what do they say

[pure jackal]

just says stop and nothing opesn

[tribal zealot]

why don't you just use kubuntu man

this is giving me a hard time and i'm supposed to be the scholar

[pure jackal]

i was but it was even worse then this and like i want too

but like i cant even flash a new usb

becaus i cant find a tool for it, ive been trying to in the back ground

because this is way to hard x33

[tribal zealot]

just use balena etcher

download the appimage and your good

[pure jackal]

okay ill try that

whyy is linux so hardd im going back to kubuntu x3

cause steam worked on that

and monitors worked on that

[tribal zealot]

well i'll be honest

the reason linux so hard is not because it's linux's fault

to put it bluntly it's always your fault

never the computers

[pure jackal]

i know dont worry silly

but like what am i doing wrongg!??!?!' why does team hate me and why does it not let me have 2 monitors at once

[tribal zealot]

if you learn how to use the terminal, linux history and how to use apt you'll have way less problems

and how to use sudo during the correct times

[tribal zealot]

idk i don't use linux mint

other distros are better

[tribal zealot]

i just like the community

[pure jackal]

only reason i used it because it was working fine on my laptop

and like since kubuntu didnt work i just though "oh my laptop and steam woorks good so like linux mint must be great"

[tribal zealot]

right click on the appimage click options and make it run as a executable

[pure jackal]

yay!

[tribal zealot]

if that still doesn't work use this

[pure jackal]

its working

and i have a windoes 10 iso byut im not going back

[tribal zealot]

btw installing windows wont work

[pure jackal]

im waitng for kubuntu

[tribal zealot]

you need a special tool to install windows on linux

[pure jackal]

cause i formatted my drive to ext4 or something?

[tribal zealot]

dude

[pure jackal]

i dont know just guessing x3

anyway its not what im doing so who cares windoes sucks

[tribal zealot]

WHY DID YOU NOT LEARN ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT LINUX BEFORE USING IT

YOU ARE GOING TO BE LOST AS HELL

IN YOUR OWN COMPUTER

[pure jackal]

because it was going fibe on my laptop for 2 months!

and i was using it and it was chill i am sorry

[tribal zealot]

2 months is nothing

[pure jackal]

i know im sorry

[tribal zealot]

i've been using linux for 2 years

[pure jackal]

i just needed to get rid of windows

[tribal zealot]

there's people here that have used linux for 20 years

when i'm in my thirties i'm going to be using linux for longer than 20

anyway

use this tool for windows https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB

[pure jackal]

i do prefere plasma to gnome, they are the desktop enviroments right?

[tribal zealot]

yes

[pure jackal]

i actually need web usb for school

[tribal zealot]

good

please read through the read me well

[pure jackal]

wait that snot web usb im being silly

anyway no more windows yay!

[tribal zealot]

and ask questions after reading

okay\

let me know if you have problems once kubuntu is done

you most likely will just letting you know

this is the linux journey

[pure jackal]

i am at the lower point

but i love linux, it feel so good

[tribal zealot]

when you first installed your were at the highest point, with steam you were at there is more, now you are at you may never understand

you'll stay there for like 3 months to a yeat before you get to the last point

[pure jackal]

anyway thank you so so so much for the help

the iso is allmost done

[tribal zealot]

no problem

linux is a big hobby of mine

i'm trying to get into programming but im at the "i may never understand this" phase

[pure jackal]

hopefully it getting bettter!

[pure jackal]

Wooobhh!! It works

[tidal mist]

@pure jackal i know this is probably old, but did you ever try checking and disabling secure boot?

[pure jackal]

i did not try that

[tidal mist]

oh well

[pure jackal]

i dont think my mb suports it

but ahhh now app images wont open

[tidal mist]

thats only probable if your motherboard is older then 2012

[pure jackal]

true then my bad x3

but ahhh how do i open app images

[tidal mist]

i apologize for ae's somewhat toxic behavior regarding your knowledge of linux

[pure jackal]

nahhh they were nice dont worry

[tidal mist]

which one are you trying to open specifically?

[pure jackal]

curseforge

stupid little modding tool for minecraft

[tidal mist]

are you getting an error when you try to run it?

[pure jackal]

nope, its just asking if im sure i want to exucute it and then nothing happens

same with all app images

[tidal mist]

are you still on mint or did you switch to kubuntu?

[pure jackal]

i swapped to kubuntu

[tidal mist]

alright thanks

could you try running sudo apt install libfuse2? this would install a library that you need, if its missing

and then, do you know how to give a file executable permissions?

youll have to do that for the appimages

[pure jackal]

yeah i did that

[tidal mist]

put sudo in front of the second command

that will make the command root that its complaining about, instead of running as roccothebucket

[pure jackal]

okay i installed it

[tidal mist]

can you run appimages now?

[pure jackal]

but app imahe wont open ahfhhfasf

[tidal mist]

can you check that you downloaded the 64-bit versions?

[pure jackal]

of the app image? there was only one version

and no other appimages open

[tidal mist]

did you try to install libfuse2 after you ran --fix-broken install?

[pure jackal]

i did do that yes

[tidal mist]

ok

i apologize man, perhaps someone else might know whats going on

[pure jackal]

yeah thats okayy!! thank you for the hel^^

[tidal mist]

try creating a seperate thread though to keep it clean

[pure jackal]

okay i will!

[tidal mist]

if nothing works, i can tell you that personally i use prism launcher for my modded minecraft stuff

[pure jackal]

i can try that!

[pure jackal]

how would i insall that x3

[tidal mist]

there should be a snap for it in the store if you wanna use that

[pure jackal]

i get this error whrn i openm the flatpack

[tidal mist]

lol i said snap not flatpak
different package managers
