>>59356495
The names of the entries, their default parameters, the theme and the background can all be changed by editing grub.cfg in /boot.
Grub-customiser is a good GUI for the same stuff

Thoughts on alpine? The site says it supports building from source in a way similar to gentoo, but it's never correctly described. Are there USE flags, CFLAGS, LICENSE, etc.? What about package count? Can it easily deal with arbitrary tarballs with proper package management hooks? Are packages stable in the sense of gentoo, as opposed to debian? Are upgrades painless?

Anyone wanna help me get Debian installed on my old Powermac G4?

It's pretty much already installed, I can boot into a terminal and use everything normally in that aspect.

Does anyone know hoe to enablemultiarch on debian? I added i386 using this:

but when I try to install anything i386 it shows me that it conflicts witht he same amd64 package and recommends removing half my system.

Advice?

>>59359235
i installed libstdc++5:i386 for sopcast, i did by doing the command you did there then

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get install package:i386

>>59359235
There are no solutions for this. It has been an issue for years, perhaps decades. It's probably never going to be fixed. Debian: stable, if stable means that the bugs never get fixed.

I am shocked! Horrified, indeed! first apt-get reports that there are no i386 packages, yet when I run

https://hastebin.com/nozohatisi.css

>>59359820
I'm now trying ot install another i386 package, let's see how that goes.

What happens when a package has a critical vulnerability in Debian stable? From what I have gathered, packages in Debian stable are frozen until the next Debian release. So are you just left vulnerable?

If the vulnerabilities are patched, then does that mean packages are only frozen up to the last release which fixed a security flaw?

>>59359872
>From what I have gathered, packages in Debian stable are frozen until the next Debian release.
Negative. Debian stable gets security updates when available. Debian testing is "frozen" Debian unstable, it may get updates later than stable.

>>59359820
Does the update solve issus fir ALL the Radeon graphics cards?
I am asking this because while Googling I saw something about "pre-GCN cards being not supported".
What does that mean?

I'm seeing a lot of very ignorant and almost down right dumb people in this thread saying "You people are complaining about the cockroaches being killed but yet you eat meat and wear leather. You are all hypocrites." I'm going to clear this up for you people, animals are killed to feed and cloth us, meanwhile these cockroaches were killed/tortured for some guys sick pleasure. Whether you like cockroaches or not, there isn't a reason to brutally murder them unless you're a psychopath that feels pleasure from doing so.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Google, is in fact, NSA/Google, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, NSA plus Google. Google is not an evil corporation unto itself, but rather another corporate component of a fully functioning NSA system made useful by the NSA PRISM project, Boundless Informant, and vital Bullrun backdoors comprising a full Ministry of Truth as exposed by Snowden.

Many computer users run a modified version of the NSA system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NSA which is widely used today is often called “Google”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NSA, developed by the NSA Project.

There really is a Google, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Google is the search engine, etc: the web apps in the system that direct the user's attention. The search engine is an essential part of an espionage system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete espionage system. Google is normally used in combination with the NSA espionage system: the whole system is basically NSA with Google added, or NSA/Google. All the so-called “Google” website is really the data collection frontend of NSA/Google.

I have jessie free and jessie-backports free in my sources file.

How do I make sure every package is at the latest backports version?

I know, run apt-get update, but will this show me packages that are at a higher version than the backports? I installed a coupple of sid packages a while back and I don't remember which, and they are probably messing with my system.

I have a problem, and I'm already embarrassed because i know the solution will be something really simple that I just didn't think of.
So basically, I made a bootable Ubuntu USB stick, and while I apparently should have used something else, I decided to go for that Startup Disk Creator tool that comes with Ubuntu, for extracting the iso.
It created a fucked up partition and I can't get rid of it now. GParted says it doesnt even recognise the filesystem, and it can't be deleted.
The only thing I could think of was overwriting the first MiB of the stick with zeroes, to get rid of the partition tables, but fuck me, that didn't work either.

I happen to be a licensed ham so I'm looking for a wifi card that can go out of band on 5GHz and also use monitor mode to transmit low latency packets, but the only chip that lets you go out of band (into ham bands) is the Atheros 7010 which there is not a single product out there with either a soldered coax or a connector of some sort. I might have to settle with 2.4ghz or buy normie FPV gear.

If you keep it blob free and up-to-date, very secure. If a vunerability is found, it gets patched away (unlike proprietery stuff, where the community can't find security holes and report them).

Does vrms work on *buntu distros?

It works by checking for packages installed from "non-free" or "contrib". Not by the packages licences themselves.

Ubuntu doesn't use "non-free" or "contrib" but shit like "universe".

I know for a fact that the Linux Kernel used in Xubuntu would be classed as non-free.

Replace DVI-0 with whatever display you're using. Run the command for each display if you have more than one.

Gentoo is unironically the only usable distro in 2017. In 2006 I'd tell you to stay away but nowadays it's the only stable distro and has by far the most packages beside arch.

>>59365067
Is Gentoo really faster than others concerning application responsivity and boot time?

>>59365055
There's another variable besides that one, HISTSIZE.

$ echo $HISTSIZE
500

Do I change that too?

>>59364960
Commands get saved when you close the shell. To save them instantly, run history -a (append). Some people use this in their PROMPT variable, so it get's executed after every command, but it will throw all sessions together, so I wouldn't recommend.

>>59365104
>it will throw all sessions together
What does that mean?

>>59365103
HISTSIZE is what you see when you hit CTRL+R
HISTFILESIZE is ~/.bash_history.

You can do this:
export HISTSIZE=9001
export HISTFILESIZE=$HISTSIZE

>>59365078
It is, but nobody cares about that. What matters is your ability to get vim with both python and racket support whereas you'd have to choose one or the other in any other distro. Stability is also objectively another huge plus. Part of it is because due to the source installs, you compile things against libraries you actually have, not what upstream thinks you have, which means programs don't call the wrong address on a dynamic library, for example. Another reason is that you don't have to pull in an unstable library if you want an unstable program that requires a library (again, because of source installs), which makes the entire system mostly stable with only unstable package for the packages that should be unstable. Contrast with other distros where if you want unstable anything, you have to upgrade half the system to unstable.

Additionally, gentoo makes security a lot easier due to its great support for PaX/grsecurity patches, among other things.

I have a folder full of different types of files, i would like to randomize the creation date and last modified date to be a random date ranging from the past to the future. How do is script this?

Say, I'm downloading a game, and need to extract it in Japanese Locale. How does one achieve this?

Also, is it possible to do it without saving the zip file? Like when you download it you choose "Open with Archive Manager" and then somehow extract it's contents in Japanese locale?

>>59365849
GNU does not have this problem.

>>59365849
Japanese files can be really tricky to unzip properly for some reason.

One thing you can try is to just use 7zip. I'm not sure if there's a GUI for it, but if there is then that might allow you to achieve your goal of not having to download the archive first.

If that doesn't work you can try unzipping with the option

unzip -O CP932 file.zip

Not sure how you would do this from a GUI extractor though. Maybe see if you can find CP932 in the settings anywhere
