I don't really understand the question
you want another operating system that has access to /home ??

I don't think that's a good idea. You should really have a separate "data" partition since operating systems will have different program versions that will have configurations or data saved to /home that wouldn't be compatible between versions.

So maybe 6 months ago my 64 gig partition containing Ubuntu disappeared from my laptop. I had it dual booting with Windows 10 for maybe a year then the partition just disappeared. Is it safe to reinstall it?

>>59629551
Sounds like Windows """fixed""" your bootloader.

>>59629551
It's probably still there. You should be able to reinstall grub2 to the MBR from a live USB and fix it.

something *like*

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

>>59629551
>Is it safe to reinstall it?
Yeah. If you choose to do that instead of fixing grub, just boot into the live CD and choose manual partitioning and see if it's still there. It is. Choose the old partitions to do the same functions on your new install.

i.e.
Use swap for swap
Use root (/) for root (/)
Use /home for /home

I'd suggest you just do a little googling about how to reinstall grub from a live USB.

How do I install a .ebuild file in Gentoo?

>How do I install a .ebuild file in Gentoo
This is a great guide

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+do+I+install+a+.ebuild+file+in+Gentoo

Really enjoying funtoo.
For those who don't know, funtoo is a fork of gentoo by its original crestor who left the gentoo dev team after internal disagreements about where the project was headed. Funtoo is a bit more stable than gento, offers a precompilied kernel and has subarches so its not just 1 binary buiilt for all amd64 cpus, its a couple binarys to choose from for each subarch. There is also a heavier git emphasis iirc.
Regardless, I am really enjoyiny the speed and flexibility I am getting out of my system for such a low price of resources.
I idle at roughly ~60mb of RAM and even with firefox and some terminals and gimp open I don't go over ~500mb.
Another part I am loving is that the idea of >install gentoo is that it is supposed to be so complicated and take a while, but funtoo is a very basic install process relative to gentoo and I can install it and have my install done in 20 mins.
Ok end of blog but I just really wanted to share my thoughts.

>>59629115
Brave is dogshit just use Firefox
>>59629890
T. Too dumb to install Gentoo

>>59629890
Gentoo has been on git for like two years although emerge --sync still defaults to rsync mirror. This is fixed by changing two lines in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf

>>59629961
I've actually used gentoo a couple times - longest stretch was as a daily driver on desktop for around 4 months. I eventually gave up on it because Windows wanted to help me so it turned 3 seperate partitions on the same disk into a shared partition. Regardless I from there chose to try out funtoo cause I was reading about it on the forums and was really impressed with the instal time. I converted some friends and was able to install it on my chinkpad the same night my desktop. (Not side by side, one after another) which is kind if unheard of with gentoo.

>>59629890
>>59630008
>>59630030
So what is the difference to Gentoo in practice?

>>59630108
Like I said before it takes many less hours to install funtoo than gentoo. Profiles, funtoo holds packages back sonetimes for stability. Also funtoo has no systemd and even supports gnome3 without systemd. Gentoo has support for systemd but gives users a choice.

>>59630456
Eh, I'd actually prefer fast packages. the easier install is nice but in reality it doesn't take that long:
>booting usb
>Setting up network
>Download/extract stage tar
>General setup of locales etc
>Kernel. This could take nearly an hour for your first try but it's really easy after that.
>emerging world
It only takes 20 minutes if you know what you're doing (obviously excluding compiling)

bros, I'm using linux mint 17 right now and looking to upgrade to either the latest linux mint or manjaro. anyways, my problem is I have no methods of external storage. is there a cloud option for storing all of my important files? also, what sorts of config files, etc.. should I be saving? I'm guessing like bashrc, vimrc?

>>59630547
back up /etc and /home to the cloud
use them as reference. do not apply them wholesale to the new system

>>59630575
>do not apply them wholesale to the new system
by that do you mean don't just copy paste them?

>>59630611
applying wholesale would be
> cp -r /backup/etc /

but you most likely can copy individual config files.

any time I modify a configuration file I add a comment with date and time and why i modified the file.

using a precompiled kernel is one of the advantages with funtoo because of subarches

>>59630831
few threads ago, someone said you could use ubuntu's kernel or any for that matter.

Installing gentoo- what are the actual advantages of building my own kernel instead of using genkernel? I was just going to make a custom kernel, disabling defaults for hardware I absolutely don't need (ie amd cpu stuff) and enabling stuff I might need. I don't feel like looking up every single option, so I'll just guess as to whether i need certain options.

What does dd actually do? I've only used it for live USBs and it makes some weird filesystem gparted doesn't recognise, but it boots fine.

>>59631843
>what are the actual advantages of building my own kernel instead of using genkernel?
you will have ran commands that a script could have run

>>59631874
I'm curious about this also. dd writes to the disk right? (/dev/sdb not to the file system /dev/sdb1)

Not that I even really know what that means.

Why doesn't Gentoo switch to runit as default? It's much better than openrc and I think it's already been established that using systemd at this point makes you either a red hat shill or a retard.

>>59631874
dd is an old, old Unix utility that just copies byte-by-byte an input file to an output file.

>>59632106
Does that mean that there is no filesystem?

>>59632084
OpenRC is probably developed/maintained by gentoo devs.
If so, they would have full control and not need to rely on another developer group's efforts i.e. deciding when to discontinue the project.

>>59632119
dd doesn't care what you're reading from or writing to. You can point it at real files in your filesystem, character device files like /dev/zero or /dev/urandom, or block device files like /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, etc.

"filesysystem" is just what it sounds like: a file "system". A clever scheme you use to organize the trillions of bytes on your hard drive into manageable "chunks" e.g. files. In the end your drive is just a massive array of bytes though and you can write whatever the fuck you want to it.

Why are there so many vague answers to this topic?

>>59632136
That's true. The Gentoo wiki article on comparison of init systems doesn't seem to mention runit at all, which is a little strange. It mentions epoch (officially supported), S6, and also finit. Does anyone know if runit is officially supported? In my brief time with void I found it a lot better than openrc, but I'm coming back to Gentoo.

Shameless self bumping.

The OP is **20** characters from the limit and it seems perfectly fine to me. It's pretty massive and can't be everything to everybody.

>>but put on a totally unreadable title
Obfuscating the subject has become a tradition/meme and doesn't keep people from finding it, a native catalog search or a CTRL + F will take you straight to it.

People who say this are oversimplifying the architecture to a fault. When you are referring to "someone elses datacenter" you are speaking more to companies like Linode or DigitalOcean in their current forms. When you are talking about "cloud" it's a portfolio of services that you can leverage to build your application. It's not just someone else's computer its managed databases, queuing, virtual networking, load balancers, etc. If your "cloud provider" is only renting you a server, then you might want to rethink their use of that term.

This is similar to what I'm looking for, but I want something more flexible, that allows essentially arbitrary dimensions and placement for each image, and more than 4 images at once.

My use case is pretty specific I highly doubt it exists, I just wanted to make sure before sinking time in to doing it myself.

Does anyone here play osu! On Linux? Does it work properly on wine or is there more input lag than windows?

>>59634642
You can change the dimensions for each but yeah no more than 4 maybe you could fork it. Picasa is available for linux now but I don't know a whole lot about it. It may let you do what you want.

What is handling the USB drivers on a system? The kernel?

Why do people dislike pulse? i have a weird problem where I get zero sound, which gets magically fixed by installing pulse. I don't care about configuring my sound at all, so I just pulseaudio because it works. functionally it seems more simple than the default alsa config.

>>59634788

underrated

>>59635588
yes, the kernel handles of most of the USB devices.

A half-exception is printers, the printing system (CUPS) handles most of the work there (it even suggests that you should disable the kernel-level USB printing driver) but it still uses some generic USB interface to communicate with pritners.

>>59635588
kernel contrains drivers for your motherboard's usb controller. udev dynamically detects usb devices that you plug in- if it's hardware like a keyboard/mouse then the driver is loaded by udev. if it's a usb drive, udev detects it, and a block file in /dev/ is creates, which is then mounted manually by you, or your DE

Well I tried to get tint2 + openbox working but each time I tried to start tint2 it said "Could not open display"

I installed all the xorg related packages and also started x as well but no dice.

>>59635235
This most certanly brought tangible results but I'm wondering if this is really what most people would use if they wanted a distribution like arch.

See, I am reminded of Ubuntu with this kind of setup and while it seems nice, it's nothing unique. People must use these kinds of bare-bones linux distros to install something that isn't found pre-baked into Ubuntu, XFCE, and so on.

And since this is a VM I don't actually care *that* much but what if I wanted to uninstall the 403 packages that this command ended up installing so I could try a different WM environment?

>>59635674

>>59635682

use openbox-session, and put tint2 in ~/.config/openbox/autostart
openbox is a wm, tint2 is a panel

it's worth noting you can have multiple wm's and de's installed without issues, you can even run more than one at the same time

it's a user configuration, they're not typically created by installing the package

Is mint actually insecure/hard to upgrade/full of problems like people here claim? I was going to suggest it to my friends who've never used Linux, because it's what I first used and it seemed to look decent, just work, and not have canonical's babby's first linux Amazon bullshit.

>>59635908
Debian is good about freedoms, definetly not botnet, gentoo also good, arch good aslo.

>>59636063
They fixed the upgrading issues a few versions ago. As far as security, it's basically ubuntu but without the dodgier elements. Probably not the most secure distro, but it's a step above Windows 10.

Well, it was fun being briefly deluded enough to think I actually had freedom and privacy.

>>59636193
Unless you happen to be a major political or terrorist figure, you're really not worth the effort of most of that stuff. Sticking to a reasonably secure Linux distro is about as much as you can do, anything past that is more placebo than not.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

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

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Did you check the preferences for the taskbar widget in your panel? At the screen where you add things to the panel, most widgets have an "Edit" button which can tweak additional stuff.

If not, I'm pretty sure that's GTK theme related. So you just have to edit the GTK files. GTK panel should use GTK2, but is being ported to GTK3 now (I doubt you have the GTK3 version). So, look into the panel file inside the GTK2 theme.
Hint: theming GTK2 is harder, because it doesn't use common CSS style.

Neither for them are actually truly cross-platform, and GTK-3 is total trash. I upgraded my firefox just to try out GTK-3 with it and it is FAR more buggy and has much worse design choices than GTK-2

They are trying too hard to look "modern" with smooth animations and shit into the base functionality, and also overcomplicating shit by thinking that applications need to appear "native" to the operating system they are run on, instead of just keeping it simple and consistent on all platforms.

The default theme has no animations.

You have no idea what you're talking about. You most likely think that GNOME is GTK and you're talking about GTK Header bars. It's not, retard.

GTK looks the same on all platforms it runs on, retard and it's the same on every platform. Just like Qt.

Does anybody use fedora? What stuff do you do after a fresh install? Ive already added RPM Fusion should I use any of these?

Fedy - A modular and scriptable utility to install codecs and proprietary software, add & manage repos and much more, also saves downloaded files. This will download the script. You then have to open a terminal, "cd" to your downloaded location. Next, "su" as root and type "chmod +x fedy-installer", followed by "./fedy-installer" . That should install Fedy and the necessary repos. Finally, exit root temporarily and type "fedy" to give you a GUI with plenty of handy codecs.

PostInstallerF - script for adding loads of packages, drivers and codecs.

Easy Life - Duli's script to add codecs, drivers, and more to Fedora. Unfortunatelly, under Wayland display server the root user cannot run the program yad (which is used by easyLife to make the menu). So until this is fixed (if it will ever be), easyLife will only work by logging in with "GNOME on Xorg" session.

Other scripts will be added as soon as they can be verified on F25.

Also how do I search for packages and if I have it installed? In debian based distros "apt search" would search for the package and tell me if its installed... It doesn't look like dnf does this

4chan gave him the name wojak, just like 4chan calls pepe pepe

Just RPM fusion. You can add copr repos as well but I prefer building from source.

Unfortunately i don't think you can. You have to use dnf info [package] which will only return that one package.

Because that's actually the characters name.
Calling feels guy "wojak" would be like calling pepe "Matt Furie" because he created it.
