>>58839416

>>58839433

We know that Fedora has paid coders from RedHat too. That does mean Linux does not only mean free and unpaid.

>or my computer is clinically retarded
Shit happens. My old shitbox is extremely picky about it as well.

Try different software for making bootable USBs.
I always get different results. unetbootin worked for fedora but I had to resort to a windows machine running rufus to get a debian one.

If everything fails, use a CD/DVD. They always work

>>58839925
It's so difficult to find a CD with 2gbs of space, so I'll try to pick up a namebrand usb instead of the cheap surplus ones I have. If that fails, my pc just can't run linux for some reason

>>58839901
sometimes the application I used was the problem, unetbootin, so I use a simple command line burning method

cp distro.iso /dev/sdX
sync

where "X" is the correct device letter

other problem can be the BIOS, but that is computer specific, easily solvable by changing the BIOS setup

How to get rid of bottom window in emacs?

>>58840012
tell us how you're making the bootable usb, the problem may be in your process and not the drive. also are you just expecting it to autamagically boot from it or are you going into boot device selection and choosing it? there's several things it could be that you should check on before droping cash on another drive and finding that wasn't the problem

I've been trying to figure out a way to read .ePUB file from the command line but I'm not having any luck. I found this script but I just get "Cannot read file epub-read.css" after running it.

I'm not too knowledgeable with bash commands so if someone could help me out here, or point me to a better solution that'd be awesome.

C-x 1.
C-x o to change between frames.

If you want to put it back again do C-x 2 for horizontal split and C-x 3 for vertical split.
C-x 0 removes all frames but the one youre focused on (C-x o)

>>58840047
Create the directory

emacs.d

in your home directory, or enable read/write access to it. Kind of weird that emacs can't access it though.

>>58840056
I'm using rufus and burning the .iso to my usb drive. have also tried burning it as a DD. Then when I start my computer, I press escape and go to the grub screen for the distro boot and select install. Then a few minutes into the boot screen processes, it basically crashes and stops progressing

>>58840106

I deleted the Linux-swap in order to add like 50gbs to my Ubuntu partition. Since my laptop freezes up like all hell and takes forever to boot (I'm guessing it's searching for the boot file)

What can I do?

I'm thinking about clean installing because it's gotten so bad.

>>58840089

How do I do this? I'm not even sure where ~/.emacs.d/ would be.

use dd (carefully). It has had incredibly high reliability for me. Be careful though as it will destroy all of your data if you specify the wrong output device. Be very sure OF= is correct.

>>58840587
It might surprise you but I've tried it many times and not a single time dd succeeded in making a bootable USB that worked on my laptop.

screen. GPL
tmux BSD
tmux includes most features of GNU Screen. It allows users to start a terminal session with clients that are not bound to a specific physical or virtual console; multiple terminal sessions can be created within a single terminal session and then freely rebound from one virtual console to another, and each session can have several connected clients. The features that differentiate tmux from GNU Screen are[3]

menus for interactive selection of running sessions, windows or clients
window can be linked to an arbitrary number of sessions[4]
vi-like or Emacs command mode (with auto completion) for managing tmux[5]
lack of built-in serial and telnet clients (which some consider bloat for the terminal multiplexer)[3]
easier configuration[6][7][better source needed]
different command keys—it is not a drop-in replacement for screen, but can be configured to use compatible keybindings

I would always recommand ubuntu for beginners.

But I have to mention that I got had success with installing arch with the arch guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide.

I'd like to mention that the guide should has many small 'personal successes' along the way to let you stay motivated. (changing the layout, setting the time, learning hdd partitioning, change console, seeing the graphics user interface 1-2hours in).
But huge caveat thought, they kind of shortened the guide it seems, I remember reading a much longer version years ago...

Anyway I only attempted it after using ubuntu rather for a year casually

There was a need to have Windows a few weeks ago and I installed it on a spare SSD, basically fucking up grub. I went ahead and did grub-install and update-grub since it looked like the easiest way to recognize all operating systems, but seems I was wrong and it could only recognize debian. After a reboot, the motherboard refuses to use the debian option to boot, defaulting to the windows bootloader. The only way I could access the Linux drive was by choosing the drive on the boot options manually, a tedious task. The need was calmed down and I nuked that Windows drive. Thing is that now my motherboard refuses to boot up to Linux unless I choose it manually. What gives?

The other thing is with Windows. I tried installing a different version of Windows, 8.1, and it refuses to use the available drive despite it being cleared up. Is the debian option conflicting with the installation? This is giving me a headache. I bet using a KVM with a GPU passthrough is probably even more tedious.

tl;dr m$ fucked my ass up

Mint user here. How do I change distro then without losing settings? And to what? Ubuntu cinnamn?

What are good books to start self-learning a linux administration? I have been using various distros as a main drive for almost 4 years and now I decided to improve myself in few things and it's one of positions in my list.

>>58842680
It depends of what software you are using right now and what you choose to use next. Not deleting .* files before installation save your settings hidden in configs inside your home directory.

>>58842680
user settings are stored in "dotfiles" in your home directory.
you have to use ls -a to display them, since everything starting with a dot '.' is, by convention, hidden.
since you probably don't have /home on a separate partition, copy your home folder to a usb drive or other backup medium and then copy it back into your new install.

system-wide settings are mostly stored in /etc, but you shouldn't copy those over.

why do you want to move off of mint, though?

>>58842814
>Root and home are on diff partitions.
that's great, then. don't re-format the /home partition during install and it should be OK. make a backup regardless, in case something goes bad.

>Because in this thread you guys said Mint is unsecure.
yes, but you're not running an internet-facing production server, right?
I can't really imagine how mint would inconvenience you at this point, and I think it would be better for you to stay on it until you know enough about Linux to make informed decisions instead of letting a bunch of neets make those decisions for you

I can spin up a dozen VMs in the native hypervisor (KVM) even on some retard friendly Ubuntu spin. Doing the same thing in Hyper-V requires a $5000 Windows Server Datacenter license.

I want to switch to Debian, wich version should I get? Stable, Testing or Unstable? I want security and fresh (no need for bleeding) packages.

also, systemd has a command that audits what's slowing your booting down, but I've never used it and forgot how it's called so you'll have to search a bit

>Stupid meme.
There is no point in indulging in such banal activity as video games when you could instead be appreciating art (e.g. watching film, reading literature), learning something new, or getting on with plain menial work. Even doing nothing and staring at a blank wall is more enlightening, more relaxing, and less escapist than playing video games. Most people play video because "it's fun", and justify it so. It's the logical equivalent of a drug addict justifying their addiction; I don't care just how much you may or may not enjoy video games, as the fact remains you're wrong in doing so. /v/ is proof enough.

Debian is great when used with it's intended purpose (stable branch).
For every other branch (testing and unstable) there are better alternatives.

2) a distro that will give a Fedora user all he likes about Fedora but will also manage to set up rutorrent without some nondescript error

Also the ability to automatically back up configuration files lest I fuck something up will be appreciated.

So they say that you can't reverse an upgrade to Debian Sid, and that you'll be forever stuck on Sid once you decide to upgrade...

But what if you had a three year old Sid install that hasn't been upgraded? Wouldn't you be able to hypothetically upgrade to Jessie because the packages are newer?

It seems like the Vega Strike developers just sort of gave up.

I have a question about ungoogled-chromium (github/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium) for linux.

It comes with "CryptoTokenExtension". Is'nt it a tracking tool? I know it works as two-step verifaction between hardware but I'm curious about it.

>>58844356
Wait I think I figured it out, I have the ARM64 version, not the ARMHF, so I am going to try to find the HF version

>>58844480
use the command line, go to the directory where the .deb file is an type

dpkg -I OpenMW.deb

then look check if you have the dependencies installed, AND is for your architecture.

For you architecture means, the file runs on a rapsberry, which is an ARM architecture. Also check if is 32 or 64 bit.

Is anyone else experiencing context menu flickering on KDE with Debian Stretch? Hasn't been so bad recently with some updates but it's pretty noticeable with GTK applications especially.

yes, but you must have the patience to track dependencies as previously stated

>>58844710
make menuconfig and search for nct6775 and coretemp, enable it and then rebuild your kernel.

Those seem the biggest two for linux babbys. I've heard about Ubuntu's spyware and hate the idea of it. Is there a fork of ubuntu that strips it away?
I mean I don't mind doing some setup and learning the terminal, but I'll be running this on a small work laptop, really only using word editors and Internets, so arch might be exceedingly lightweight or specialized for basic work.

Ubuntu just works. Arch requires a lot more effort and knowledge to get it to function, but it's absolutely worth it. Xubuntu probably doesn't have the spyware, as does Mint, which are both based on Buntu. Debian is the origin of Ubuntu, with extremely stable if slightly outdated packages, and no spyware (completely free). Try debian first, then try mint/xubuntu if debian gives you problems. If you think you want to tinker a bit more, get arch, pacman is great.

Can distros be installed via virtual machine? And is linux actually insecure like people are making it out to be?

>>58845960
there is a way to install a distro and then burn it to a device, is what people do for raspberry/ordroid.

for the other question, we have an invasion of trolls, windows is obviously insecure, you can tell by the amount of virus people catch, on linux the risk is theoretical

if you want to be secure, install Devuan, is free from systemd, also make sure not to install GNOME or KDE

welcome to dependency hell
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_hell

as I said >>58844837

>>58846033
What's GNOME?

>>58846202
A desktop environment, the look and feel of your desktop plus some default applications.

The vulnerability is theoretical, but the target is that DE (desktop environment) and KDE, another DE.

If you go for "net install" (like Devuan), which means bare bones distros, you can choose a diferent DE, other thatn GNOME and KDE.

If you plan on using something quick, you can choose LXDE, Xfce, Cinnamon or MATE. They are alternative DE's.

But seriously, don't listen to trolls, we suspect they indeed are paid to create confusion.

If I only allocate like 15gbs for a distro in virtual machine, will the final installation only have that amount or will it register my hard drive normally?

it will only register 15 gbs unless you expand the filesystem afterwards, you can use gparted for that

>>58846279
definitely not one guy but I vouch not to fall for the systemd trap

linux has become stable and very good at the desktop, systemd is a project obviously hard to maintain on the long run, except for big companies like RedHat

is only logical that companies like RedHat try to capitalize over the success of linux by potentially being the one of the few to offer technical support

Trolls shitposting about a linux "vulnerability", imagine a vulnerability is found in systemD and RedHat drops support and replace systemd with a proprietary alternative.

>replace with proprietary alternative
No one but redhat would take it up.
Immediate issues with systemd would be patched around, and if it came to be believed that the architecture of systemd were flawed, we'd begin a transition back to sysvinit, or hopefully something better.

I don't really get the systemd hate. There's this extremely vocal minority of people who don't like it for a number of reasons, but for some reason they feel that they know better than almost every other high-skill, high-level distro developer and maintainer.

If you feel that systemd is so cancerous, why aren't you involving yourself in the places you can to prevent it's advance or provide objectively superior alternatives?
