how does portage compare to pacman?

history -c

doesnt work inside a bash script, so is there another way I can cover my tracks that I can use INSIDE a bash script?

Manually typing is not an option

>>59885081
Shell scripts don't write to your history.

>>59885081
Maybe you are searching for:

rm "${HOME}/.bash_history"

>>59885120
I dont want to delete the file itself though, that would be obvious

>>59885107
no but I use wget to download the script, plus other commands I write show up after I exit

>>59885139
You can prefix a command with a space, that makes the history ignore the command.

reposting from last thread:
Yesterday I was asking for a lightweight linux version to run in Virtual Box. I had already tried Lubuntu and LXLE both failed because no pae and forcepae -- forcepae didn't help. An annon suggested puppy but the noPae version failed with "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt". Any other Ideas or suggestions?

Does anyone know if there is a dual boot option in the antergos installer?

>>59885222

You can install LXDE on any distribution. Why do you people always assume that a desktop environment is a distribution?

>>59885233
Simply configure your boot loader.

arch + xfce is trully the best combo

So I just installed my first Linux. What are some essencial things you do after a fresh install? How to turn off telemetry and stuff like that? I'm also searching for any good apps like antivirus, firewall, defragging, etc.

>>59886013
>How to turn off telemetry and stuff like that?
I don't think there is telemetry, is there?

Closest thing I can think of is Debian, when they ask during the install phase if you would like to volunteer in their (package) popularity contest.
And it's more for stats on what kind of packages are being used/popular, as the name implies.

I don't know if other distros have this as well.

>>59886013
everything well explained here: http://meatspin.fr/

>>59885995

If only there was an article on the Wiki explaining it.

>>59886074
you are talking about this?

# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "en_US.utf8, sr_RS, sr_RS.utf8"
        Option "XkbVariant" "alternatequotes,latinunicode,"

Yes, that. You set it wrong, those aren't layouts. Learn how to use it or read the article properly.

is it possible to write a shell script that installs gentoo?

I just infuckingstalled LXLE on my laptop because Windows 10 broke it (it just wouldn't boot up and it didn't have the Dell recovery image thing). Originally I downloaded LXLE for an older slower laptop but that one can't boot from a USB so for the hell of it I tried it on my newer laptop and it worked. Now I'm thinking I should have got a distro that isn't made specifically for old PCs like LXLE.

What are your thoughts on this and should I change distros?

>>59886157
does it werk? keep it
does it suck? switch

Only idiots use pointless downstream distributions.
Pick one of the environments you like and then get the Ubuntu spin which offers it. I know Ubuntu can be considered downstream from Debian, but it's en exception in this case.
Once you familiarize yourself with it and you find yourself in a position that you need something else in terms of what makes up a distribution, consider switching then and only then. Do not switch for retarded reasons like "I like the looks of this".

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.

you'd be copying every bit, even the ones that don't store any information. unless your disk is 100% full, it's inefficient by definition.

So, can somebody give me the rundown on GPU passthrough? Everytime I look into it I feel like something is different.

My understanding was that you could share your hardware between host and guest OS, and so you would basically be dedicating a monitor to your guest OS and could treat it like a dual monitor setup. Is this not actually possible? If so that's kind of a huge bummer for me since it basically pigeonholes me back to Windows. (Especially since I need a Windows system for a few things more than gaymes, so having dual monitors is extremely helpful)

So is the dream dead unless I want to have two mice and keyboards?

Everyone keeps telling me that KDE is "bloated" and "too heavy".
And when searching for comparisons, I found this: https://renewablepcs.wordpress.com/about-linux/kde-gnome-or-xfce/

How is it any different than building it yourself or getting a binary yourself? Look at the PKGBUILDs and understand what it's doing. It's usually a git clone, ./configure, make, and make install or similar or it fetches a binary from a (hopefully) legit source. That's why you look at it.

Why do DEs all copy WindowsOS or macOS instead of doing their own thing?

I'm very new to linux and I've been using Xubuntu, and while it's okay, I'd like to experiment with other distros. I don't want to use Arch because A) I don't know enough to operate with less UI, and B) I'm not a fag :°)

What do you recommend I try out? Preferably something for beginners and/or easy to rice.

Windows*

So after Windows 10 broke my shit I listened to the Internet and installed Mint. And I am a bit lost. Help would be appreciated.

A website tells me something cant be displayed because no flash. So I go to adobe website to download flash and there are for options and Im not sure which to use.

The options are
APT for Debian/Ubuntu
YUM for Linux
tar.gz for Linux
.rpm for Linux

also when I googled "flash for mint" I found a tutorial saying that flash will no longer be updated for firefox and I should switch to Chrome. Is this true?

Thanks for any help.

Mint is basically Ubuntu LTS with some tweaks(and Cinnamon or mate as the default DE), so APT is the one you want. The plugin should also be available through your repos, though. Try "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"

good to be familiar with the most common environments

just download a VM (virtualbox is easy to use and in the repos) and a couple of .iso files and try them all.

are you interested in anything specific?

if you wanna try new/interesting DEs i suggest pantheon (Elementary OS) or Budgie (Solus), both very beginner friendly

oh and word of advice, it might be a good idea to stay with .deb based, ideally ubuntu-based distros for a while. generally best support since it's the most used, hence any problem you might run into has probably been discussed and solved somewhere online.

and it's pretty common for devs to offer linux ports in the form of .deb packages, can be a bit harder to get .rpm packages etc. generally it's always best to download through the official repos ("software store"/"manager"/whatever) but it can happen

>>59893590
over the years chrome has usually been the more stable / safe bet for linux flash support. adobe keeps pickung up / dropping linux support, chrome needs it for Chrome OS and has enough money and power to make ensure support

ofc, but the userbase for arch/arch based distros is a lot smaller than ubuntu/deb based stuf, generally you'll have an easier time finding simple to follow, beginner level advice.

arch is nice too, and with manjaro it's easier than ever for beginners to try something arch based

what do you do in linux that is harder to do in windows?

>>59894188
GNU/Linux*

>>59894188
people will tell you otherwise but generally, you'll bump into problems (crashes, unsupported software / hardware) somewhat more often than on windows. games and productive software will be hard to find and a bitch to get running, if you're lucky enough that they run in wine. if there's actually a FLOSS alternative it's often less sophisticated and has a shitty interface.

there's only a few cases of genuinely nice linux software that beats proprietary alternatives. what's nice is that it's usually easier to find little apps and programs for simple tasks, since it's a hobbyist OS and so many people develop their own little programs ... eg i could find a tray webradio that supports custom links pretty easily on linux and even OSX, but on windows i only found shitty freemium bloatware or full blown audio software with tray options.

How do I know which version of nvidia driver to install in ubuntu? I have the ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa installed and just installed the latest one but looking at the arch wiki it suggests different versions for particular hardware. The problem is that I don't see where mine fits in to the list, it is NVIDIA Corporation GK107GLM [Quadro K2000M] (rev a1).

I recently did a clean install of Antergos with the MATE desktop, which I've never used before. I like it a lot overall, but for some reason my panel icons have suddenly turned from white to this weird dark grey colour. Any ideas on what could have caused this?

>>59894521
did you try pressing ENTER to commit the transform

looks like it's using the light theme (light theme > light taskbar > dark icons) for some reason, check system settings. did you change the iconset or something

With MS intellipoint, I can assign different functions to mouse buttons.

When I click the wheel, it's set to be a double-click.

How can I do that in Linux?

>>59894656
Didn't you change your icon pack or your gtk theme or something?

I tried a dozen times, of course I pressed enter after.

I have mpd set up with a user systemd service but by default it doesn't work, if I try to open a client it doesn't connect. However, if I restart the service manually it works. Any idea why this is happening?

This is the service file:

I'm trying to decrypt my drive at boot with an encrypted USB. How do I get my bootloader to prompt me for a password for the USB before using the USB as a keyfile for my main drive.
My systemd-boot config currently is setup for an unecrypted usb to be used

title Arch Linux Encrypted
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options cryptdevice=/dev/sda5:root cryptkey=/dev/disk/by-uuid/myusbuuid:vfat:/keyfile root=/dev/mapper/root rw

Is there something I can write to make it unlock the USB with passphrase first?
i tried

options cryptdevice=/dev/disk/by-uuid/usbuuid:key
options cryptdevice=/dev/sda5:root cryptkey=/dev/mapper/key:vfat:/keyfile root=/dev/mapper/root rw

But this just looks for /dev/mapper/key (hasn't been mounted yet) then prompts me for a passphrase for /dev/sda5 (my main drive)
Is there a way where I can have it complete the first line before it executes the second, or have it in 2 different conf files and have the second execute after the first or something?
