Imo, why ask the question with the assumption “is based on a server-oriented distro” when “dektop distros” such as Ubuntu, Linux mint Zorin are then using debian? It is a bit conflicting isn’t it? it all boils down to personal taste, if you like ubuntu, use ubuntu, if you like linux mint, go use that. If you want to use debian or arch or fedora, you know…
For me it is easy enough, stable enough, bleeding edge enough (testing/sid) to tinker around without invading my machine with stuff I don’t necessary want
Keep in mind that some laptops will turn off the speakers if you plug in a 3.5mm jack so perhaps disconnect the headset to see if the speakers become available.
Thanks for the reply ! I’ll look into that ! And I’m not scarred off malicious command i do understand vaguely what command do, what I’m afraid of is changing config file from the terminal to add or replace stuff that i don’t understand and that part is a bit complicated to me even looking into it on the internet. This post really comes after a good 4h at least of trying to get it to work and searching stuff online. I already tried some things to no avail yet. Thanks again !
There are many options, but you have to search for network graphs …
Here are some names that come off the top of my head:
MRTG - a classic, serves as basis for many other tools. Can monitor anything that has SNMP and if you do some scripting also things without SNMP.
Cacti - a bit more evolute than the above, but same concept.
LibreNMS - this one uses a database for storing data. Can monitor network elements as well as servers. Nice graphs. There’s no .deb but it’s easy to install.
Prometheus - this can monitor a lot of things, you will need a graphing front end to get the most of it.
Grafana - coupled with Prometheus or any other modern data collection tool it’s a very powerful graphing and reporting tool. A bit daunting maybe, it requires some learning.
There are many others, some generic, some specialized. Pick one and try it, if you don’t like the results there’s plenty of choices. A VM will help with not cluttering your server.
I have a hybrid Intel/Nvidia laptop too. It has never worked right, and I regret getting it. The amount of time I’ve spent troubleshooting graphics issues through the years…
Yeah I doubt I will ever get another laptop with hybrid Nvidia/Intel again. Support for it has become a lot better over the years, though. I remember I used to have to log out and back in to switch between the two graphics cards.
Anyway, I found this on the Nvidia forums. The problem described is slightly different, but I think I will try this and just see if it happens ever again.
