How to add drives to Linux including editing the fstab. It's quick and easy.

I put together this video to let everyone know that I have confirmed the latest version of Proton Experimental has fixed the issue with the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and on top of that, Apex Legends now works as well. This is a different format than my normal videos because I wanted to get the news out quickly. This may be a new format I use for news items going forward, let me know what you think! -=-=-=-=- (DISCLAIMER: This post may contain paid advertisements or affiliate links.

In this episode of Penguin Propaganda I'll go over making Fedora 36 more user friendly with a bevy of upgrades. This will cover setting up RPM Fusion so you have access to more packages to install, the Gnome Extension manager, getting an application bar (in case you don't like the default minimalist UI), anaconda, chromium and vscodium. links and commands in this episode: RPMFusion: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm sudo dnf groupupdate core sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video Anaconda: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/linux/ yum install libXcomposite libXcursor libXi libXtst libXrandr alsa-lib mesa-libEGL libXdamage mesa-libGL libXScrnSaver https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux chmod +x Anaconda<tab> ./Anaconda<tab> anaconda-navigator VSCodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/vscodium.repo << 'EOF' [gitlab.com_paulcarroty_vscodium_repo] name=gitlab.com_paulcarroty_vscodium_repo baseurl=https://paulcarroty.gitlab.io/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo/rpms/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 repo_gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo/raw/master/pub.gpg metadata_expire=1h EOF sude dnf install codium zypper in codium

Today on Penguinpropaganda we will upgrade Ubuntu from 20.0.4 to 22.0.4 Jelly Jammy using the command line. At the end of this video we will cover some errors you may encounter as well as the possible solutions.

In this video, I have taken excerpts from my twitch stream to show what it is like to run a new game on day one using Linux. We will be running Elden Ring using Proton. I hope this will highlight some of the troubleshooting steps a user can expect when running a game on Linux and how to work around some problems. There are still numerous bugs with the release, performance issues being a major one as well as invisible enemies. These issues are unrelated to Linux / Wine or Proton. I have confirmed that EAC prevents Linux users from accessing online play at this time. If you're interested my twitch stream, you can find me at https://www.twitch.tv/penguinpropaganda

After doing a full system upgrade, my super key became unbound in KDE. This is how I fixed it. Hopefully this saves you a few minutes of cruising through forums with old irrelevant answers.

This video goes over some basic commands and their common usage for those who are brand new to the Linux terminal.

UPDATE 5/20/22 : I am aware the launcher was failing as of April of 22, The latest Proton Experimental fixes the launcher bug. Please run this launcher (or the latest Glorious Eggroll Proton also works according to reports.) This video shows the steps involved when installing Steam and then FFXIV on Ubuntu 20.0.4 when using an Nvidia card. Some Notes: I chose to do the Ubuntu 20.0.4 install for this because it seemed to give me the most trouble and also has a large user base. If you are running Arch, you'll probably be able to skip some of these steps (I was anyways), none of this was tested on any RHEL system. I have seen people get DX11 working in FFXIV but I'm not certain it's 100% reliable so I stuck with the tried and true DX9. Feel free to post any fixes you have found for this. This game is a moving target since it patches often and one day these fixes might not work, so please keep the date of this video in mind. Finally, I recorded this while it was scorching out and the AC was running often, I am aware of the background noise and will work on this in future videos. Re-recording everything would have delayed this even longer and I feel this information is needed now, not in another couple weeks. command reference: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt update sudo apt install linux-headers-generic sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-470:i386 sudo apt install steam files to edit: FFXIV_BOOT.cfg FFXIV .cfg This 3rd party tool is useful if you need to find the steam ID of an application: https://steamdb.info/ Steam ID for FFXIV: 39210 Steam ID for Trial: 312060 This is GloriousEggroll's github: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

In this video I go over running World of Warcraft and Hearthstone after getting Battlenet installed. I'll go over running the applications, some errors I ran into and the work arounds I used to get things going. Keep in mind, these are online games and update often so what works here may not be relevant in the future, but hopefully it gets you on the right track!

In this video we will install Blizzard's Battlenet software in Manjaro XFCE edition version 21.0.1 using Wine. Command List ------------ install packages: sudo pacman -Syu wine-staging samba winetricks lib32-libldap lib32-gnutls install corefonts: winetricks corefonts install dxvk: winetricks corefonts battlenet link: https://www.blizzard.com/en-us/apps/battle.net/desktop initiate installer: wine ~/Downloads/Battle.net-Setup.exe

In this video we will go over creating some basic systemd timers to run shell scripts. To get example files for this video, you can find the code on my github: https://github.com/jdfthetech/PenguinPropaganda_SystemdTimers An excellent overview of the differences between oneshot and simple services: https://trstringer.com/simple-vs-oneshot-systemd-service/ The archwiki on systemd timers: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers The Debian manpage on systemd: https://manpages.debian.org/buster/systemd/systemd.service.5.en.html Some Systemctl commands: systemctl start .service or .timer file will turn your item on. systemctl stop .service or .timer file will turn your item off. systemctl enable .service or .timer file will set a symlink to run the service permanently. systemctl disable .service or .timer file will remove the symlink for the service. systemctl status .service or .timer file will give you detailed status information. systemctl list-timers will give you a list of all of the system timers running. Video Notes: I'm working on making video quality a bit better this go around so I'm using some different sound and video settings. This video took quite some time to boil the subject down to the basics. Feel free to let me know if I missed something in the comments.

In this video I will be performing an install of Linux using the Blind Arch distribution. This is a scripted install comprised of a series of bash scripts based on the eznix installer. This installer is built to create a minimal install with the most basic functions to get a system up and running with text to speech services. The idea is to have an installer for Arch Linux that can walk a blind user through setting up their PC without any outside assistance. NOTE: The partition manager does wipe whichever drive is chosen. If partitions are prebuilt, the scripted install parts can be done individually, but I would recommend reading the code to understand this process. Download the latest stable release here: https://downloads.blindcomputing.org/ For code and additional notes: https://github.com/blind-computing/blindarch EZArcher installer (from where the base of this script originated): https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezarch/ Additional info on this video: I had to do quite a bit of editing on this to speed up the video and fix some voice over.
