I'm on F25 and am trying to get rutorrent to work. I'm sure I compiled rtorrent right with xmlrpc support and all, and I put the config lines where they go, but ultimately rutorrent doesn't sense rtorrent's presence. I don't believe that xmlrpc is even on. What should I do?

What's the best way to find the fastest repository on Ubuntu?

I have experienced before that the thingie that finds the best one isn't that good at doing its job. It's more based on location for sure, but sometimes I will get faster speeds from repositories in a different country.

to whoever was being an utter cunt to me in the other thread about fixing my mpv, i fixed it myself

>>58797782
if nobody else already did that, simply write a script to test the download speed from a list of repo.

how does a "full system upgrade" looks like in gentoo and how much time would it takes?
I mean the equivalent of a "apt-get udpdate && apt-get upgrade" or "pacman -Syu"

>>58798023
depends on how much needs updating, use flag changes etc. and your hardware. there is no approximation as every system is entirely different

>>58798023
the thing about gentoo is (at least i think that's the case correct me if im wrong) when a new kernel comes out , portage will download the sources for you and you have to compile it yourself. If its a bunch of light stuff then not long. If you however have to update the kernel or god forbid chromium your in for a while

>>58797578
That's turned off

>>58797661
Sorry should have been more clear It won't let me log in, it will just show the log in screen

>>58797735
Possibly, don't remember DESU

>>58798052
>>58798076
so there is some command like "emerge --updateall --donotfuckthesystem -v -j4" which will download the last version of the source of any installed "package" and compile it automatically?

>>58798141
yes, you can update the entire system in a single command with portage. do expect to do some troubleshooting however, sadly the --dontfucksystem switch tends to fail, but is usually solved quickly.

>>58798141
yeah, btw gentoo is lightning fast, i was reading something a few days ago which discussed the advantages of compiling everything from source. Basically you get streamline optimisation for you CPU features which results in very efficient code.

no problem here, but wayland support is temporally fucked by this qt bug:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58423

>>58797700
Went through all of those. I'm telling you, it's xmlrpc. I probably fucked something up when I tried to compile it before I realized I could just install it with DNF.

Are any of these files relevant to general use? They all got removed when I tried to remove xmlrpc and didn't come back when I reinstalled it.
http://pastebin.com/yJ0x0Jvi

In fact, does Fedora have some kind of tool that will reset every program and every system config file back to how it was when I installed it? I can't find my flash drive and would rather not perform the hack I did to install the OS in the first place.

AMD GPU, Ubuntu MATE, Compiz and Chromium.

did they remove aptitude in Debian 9?

>>58798913
It's gone after reboot. And it came back after i opened and closed bundled konsole panel in dolphin. Weird.

I bought a MacBook Pro and I hate it. Returning it tomorrow for a refund. I don't like OSX as much as I thought I would and I miss GNU/Linux.

I still want a nice ultrabook but the caveat is it must support at least a modern GNU/Linux distro such as Arch or Fedora. I don't want to buy used. Is this possible or must I buy a slightly older machine to have everything work properly? I haven't had a new computer in a decade other than this shitty MBP.

looking for a bit of help
i just use startx instead of lightdm since i think it's ugly, but on my new install of debian after i decrypt my drive the screen goes black. i can ctrl+alt+f2 to get to a terminal and login there, so i guess it doesn't really matter, i'm just wondering why this happens

>>58799347
Did you have a login manager installed before? Maybe it wasn't removed properly

>>58799378
i never had one

>>58799387
Did you install a DE when you installed it? That would install a DM by default too.

>>58799347
maybe for some strange reason it's not starting getty on tty1?

>>58799406
i got xfce during the install

>>58799310
Why not just buy a non-apple laptop? I don't think many people have much experience running Linux on apple products to be able to answer your question.

In my experience though the only real concern about getting hardware that's too new is with the wifi. In some cases it might take a while before it's fully supported.

>>58799953

Will java compile faster on Linux compared to osx?

>>58800457
It depends on your hardware, not OS. If your Thinkpad has worse hardware than your iMac, the iMac will compile faster and vice versa.

what do i do when i get error while updating system?
i cant update ttf-dejavu and python2-setuptools

every time i add --ignore for this two, but is there any solution?

>>58800473
On the exact same hardware

>>58800496
What error?

>>58800543
this is for python2

гpeшкa: нeycпeлo извpшaвaњe пpeнoca (cyкoб фaјлoвa)
python2-setuptools: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.pyc пocтoји y cиcтeмy фaјлoвa
Дoшлo јe дo гpeшкe, пaкeти ниcy нaдoгpaђeни.

translated would be something like this

error: interrupted ~transfer~
python-||-..... .pyc exists in file system
There was an error, packages are not upgraded

>>58800616
So the package manager find some files he doesn't expect. For python packages this may happen for example if you install stuff with pip (or any other Python package manager). Otherwise it maybe me a bug with the package itself (like a conflict with another package) and in this case you should report this to your disto's maintainers.

I'm looking for a decent serial terminal emulator. I've used minicom in the past, but there's a lot I don't like about it, I'd love to be able to pick arbitrary baud rates and now I'm talking to devices that expect CRLF line endings, and minicom has no option for sending both CR and LF on enter.
What does /fglt/ recommend?

>>58800814
termite or urxvt

Is slackware a meme or is it actually a usable distro with legitimate advantages? It seems like a much shittier version of Gentoo, minus the package manager, and conflict resolution/dependencies make you want to kill yourself (as well apparently being a bloated and incoherent mess of code)

when using dd how do you figure out what bs= is?
for example

dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=8192k

installing to a 16gb FAT32 formatted usb.

I want to set up my programming IDE but internet keeps my productivity low.

What I want to achieve is:
1. Openbox/Fluxbox or whatever WM that has mouse cursor (Must)
2. Something like a permanent dmenu panel so I can quickly open programs. (Must)
3. My favourite terminal emulator should start at startup (Optional)

Give me your recommendation.

>>58801776
bs means block size, which is how much data dd will read and write at a time. It copies bs bytes from the input file into memory, then writes them to the output file.
Too small a block size means a lot of reads and writes, which can be slow. Too large a block size uses more memory.
Some devices have an intrinsic block size, like tape drives, and require that block size. But for flash drives and hard drives, I don't think it matters too much. I usually pick something like 16M.
The default block size is only 512, so you really should always specify one.

>>58801868
1 and 3 are a piece of cake, if I understand correctly. I'm not aware of any WM's that don't have a mouse cursor. For 3 it depends on what WM/DE you use but they all come with ways to specify start scripts/programs when they start up.

As for 2, I know there are panels that have dropdown menus, but not sure of anything that looks like an always active dmenu

>>58801900
So as long as the device being written too doesn't require a specific bs it doesn't have a huge effect? With the bs=8192 I write all my iso's in only a few seconds anyway I suppose it doesn't matter.

hi /lgbt/

Is there any player on linux that behaves similarly to iTunes?

Let me explain. If you drag files to the program (or to a specific folder) music gets added and organized into a library. You can then change how it's tagged and it will automagically reorganize it depending on those settings. Anything like that on linux?

Think of the starter motor on your car. it should start your car and that's that. The old starter motors were getting pretty shitty so this new one came along, systemd. it starts your car really well and has a bunch of handy tools that make starting you car fast, easy and well documented. But now suddenly the starter motor is also in control of your air conditioning, radio and headlights. Why would a starter motor need to do all this stuff? The radio breaks. Not normally a problem, but your radio is for some reason connected directly to the starter motor. You can't start your car.

I'm trying to get rtorrent to work with xmlrpc, and so far I've deduced the problem to be a matter of Apache not loading mod_proxy_scgi.

I add the line "LoadModule mod_proxy_scgi modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so" to my conf and get the message

httpd: Syntax error on line 56 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so: undefined symbol: ap_proxy_canonenc

Out of curiosity I add the line "LoadModule mod_proxy modules/mod_proxy.so" before it, only to get the error

Feb 05 09:55:17 barbara httpd[22349]: httpd: Syntax error on line 55 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `mod_proxy' in file /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so: undefined symbol: mod_proxy

Obviously I don't know what I'm doing.
For the immediate: do you know what I'm doing wrong? What do I have to add to make it load the damn modules and work?
Alternatively, what resources do I use to start the beginning so that I know what I'm doing here?

Linux aint a operatin system unto itself yo, but rather another free component of a gangbangin' straight-up functionin GNU system made useful by tha GNU corelibs, shell utilitizzles n' vital system components comprisin a gangbangin' full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computa playas run a modified version of tha GNU system every last muthafuckin day, without realizin dat shit. Through a peculiar turn of events, tha version of GNU which is widely used todizzle is often called Linux, n' nuff of its playas aint aware dat it is basically tha GNU system, pimped by tha GNU Project.
There straight-up be a Linux, n' these playas is rockin it yo, but it is just a part of tha system they use. Linux is tha kernel: tha program up in tha system dat allocates tha machinez resources ta tha other programs dat you run. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da kernel be a essential part of a operatin system yo, but useless by itself; it can only function up in tha context of a cold-ass lil complete operatin system. Linux is normally used up in combination wit tha GNU operatin system: tha whole system is basically GNU wit Linux added, or GNU/Linux fo' realz. All tha so-called Linux distributions is straight-up distributionz of GNU/Linux!

because I asked for something that would give me a chance to try again and figure it out by myself?
here's my actual problem, if it makes me look more 'advanced':
network interface disconnects about every hour for a few seconds, after which I can connect to the internet
but I can't access the pc from local network until I restart dhcpcd
I installed antergos hoping it would be an easy fix but it didn't change anything

So what can fedora offer me that no other distro can? I currently prefer arch and arch based distros because
>not a freetard distro necessarily, Manjaro and antergos in particular come with the Broadcom driver I need while arch at least has it in the AUR
>actually the AUR is fucking great for me because every package I'll ever need is almost always at my finger tips. Rarely need to hunt for a repo
>community (that actually does something of value, not the arch forum or Anime shot poster fags) tends to be pretty helpful.
>PacMan is a great package manager that suits my needs

I'm not trying to start a shitposting war, I just want some serious answers. I've only run with fedora for brief periods and I still don't see the appeal.

What's wrong with freedom?

>>58808651
you get into the redhat ecosystem.
that's the only reason.
you get the building tools for rpm-based distributions which are unavailable on "mom my xorg.conf broke again"

fedora features not exclusive to fedora users:
>copr buildsystem (builds rpms only but there's no reason an arch user wouldn't be able to use it)
>access to fedorapeople.org infrastructure (great stuff actually)

I recommend getting your own space on fedorapeople.org if you don't host your own server (whether you can't or it's not convenient for you atm) even if you don't use fedora.

You're missing the point I guess. You can't steal code. Code is information. The point of the GPL is that your informations stay free.

You always need to quote urls since they usually have many characters the shell understands as special characters lik ? or &.

GNU/Linux*

>>58809860
No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one.. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

>>58809860
>>58809873
Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes., I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?

Something weird happened

I have this apple wired keyboard, one of the modern ones with 2 USB ports at the sides. I always assumed they were useless because they weren't getting "enough power" for usb drives and such.

But I dont wanna derail the thread with my shitty taste and autism.

do I really need a phonon backend? what is it for?

>>58811570
There should be a script somewhere in here that contains a playlist-type file that is grabbing segments of video megabyte by megabyte from a random server. Unless I'm missing something, the playlist exists within one of these flash files. I guess you could decompile it and see if there is a physical playlist within, but I can't be bothered to inspect further. On Twitter, who use a similar technique but not with Flash, there is a physical m3u playlist with which you can recursively grab the segments then concatenate them with ffmpeg.

Also, w3m images don't render properly in urxvt. They show in other terminals. Only info I can see online is about urxvt depth (which I've commented out in Xresources) affecting ranger image previews (which work).

>>58812295
URxvt: In order to print images in the framebuffer, urxvt NEEDS a depth of at lease 24 or below. Default is 32 so commenting out your setting will not work.

For the flickering, look into compton; try this:

compton --config /dev/null --backend glx --vsync opengl-swc --paint-on-overlay

I still can't multitask anything. Can't even download images off 4chan if I use a stream at same time or use Steam or direct dl something thru the browser This is so fucking silly. 100kbps is enough to choke everything connected to internet.

>>58812368
Example setting for urxvt:

URxvt.depth: 24

Reminder that this will disable any transparency stuff from urxvt's side. If you still want tranparency, use compton.

You're an idiot, it is developed by RedHat and has been for the past decade, and is fantastic software

I just format my laptop from W10 to Ubuntu 16.04 just for try ubuntu, but well, i'm a windows fag and now i want to back to windows. But when I put the usb flash and open boot options, and open the window to install Windows a message appears showing there's no drivers to install. But the linux is on the fucking drive. Can someone help me?

So here's the waifu you've been waiting for.

First off, you need to pip the cleverbot module made by this faggot: https://github.com/folz/cleverbot.py.

pip install cleverbot

Then drop this in your bashrc:

cleverbot() {
    me="$1"; shift; request="$*"
    python2 -c "import cleverbot; print(\"\033[31m${me}:\033[m {}\".format(cleverbot.Cleverbot(\"Cleverbot\").ask(\"${request}\")))"
}

Now you can run:

cleverbot Waifu hi

Since this isn't cool, we define an alias and while we're on it, we allow aliasing ":".

export COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}; alias Waifu:='cleverbot Waifu'

Now we can do:

Waifu: hi

For TOR support, just prefix python2 with torsocks.

Thoughts?

>Can't view videos in Firefox any longer, they just flicker in place
Since I updated to 51 it doesn't do it anymore. I don't know what caused it.

So using the glx backend with the vsync option whilst maintaining my current config fixed both firefox videos and some pretty awful screen tearing that I had been getting (touch wood).

Setting the urxvt depth specifically didn't help however (pic related is the problem).

Also that pic is pretty cringy.

Hey /g/, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?

>>58814700
Mint or Xubuntu
but I keep encountering annoying bugs in Xubuntu so Mint

I'm going full tinfoil. I've purchased a Libreboot laptop and I want to set up Debian with encryption. I did a little reading on the four algorithms I have to choose from. I can do AES, Blowfish, Serpent, or Twofish. AES is the default and widely used, so I'm not sure about this. Blowfish is old, so I'm not using that. I think Twofish is the best one, since it's the successor to Blowfish, and makes brute forcing more difficult for the attacker by being slow. What advantages do Serpent and AES have over Twofish (other than speed)?

>>58814700
Gentoo

>>58814961
>full tinfoil whilst using systemd

you're small time kiddo

>>58815294
It's open source and works well. There's nothing wrong with it. But keep using your cobbled together init system. That's none of my concern.

The problem is with systemd that you put another 500k+ lines of vulnerable code ( because muh C) on an already vulnerable kernel.

You fags gonna rec an encryption algorithm or keep beating your dicks over shit that doesn't matter?

Welp, I just ditched Ubuntu MATE, and installed Debian with cinnamon. What am I in for with a fresh install of Debian?

>>58814961
aes-xts-plain64 is the default and should be sufficient.

Is there a not-shit android music manager client, or am I stuck using Google Play's website?

>>58815465
I don't encrypt my hard drives because I'm not a paedophile hoarding illegal photographs and videos.

>>58815496
I think researching what you're in for goes between ditching $OLD_DISTRO and installing $NEW_DISTRO but I could be wrong.

Please leave.

I did Twofish.

Neither am I. I don't save hardly any images to this PC, and I stream my (legal) porn. I'm interested in protecting my projects I'm working on, because they'll be worth a nice amount of money when I'm done.

How can I disable bluetooth on startup?

I want something like

sudo service bluetooth stop

but done automatically every time the PC turns on.

I tried adding

rfkill block bluetooth

to

/etc/rc.local

but it doesn't work on my system (Elementary OS Loki)

What is a good systemd-free distro?

Is there a linux equivalent to task manager? Is it easy to use?

>>58817767
Yes, I think there's one that's pretty much the same thing but I forgot what it's called. It really shouldn't be difficult to find on google.
I'm just responding anyway to inform you that every Linux install you'll ever come across has "top".
Sometimes it's good to know the terminal tools too, you never know when you might need it.
