/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

My laptop runs ubuntu. Recently installed a second SSD. It's an M2. My battery life has dropped from 8 hours to 4 hours.

I've never encountered this large of a disparity so I'm guessing this is a configuration problem or something related to ubuntu. Any ideas to get my battery life back up or is my only option to just remove this second SSD?

What do you think on making a text based environment using tools like Screen for window manager?

See >>60133985

I plan on making a few guides to setup manually, like someone would set their source based distro, but for a DE.

Any help is welcome.

>>60134299
Install a program called 'powertop' and see what the cause of the problem is

>>60134518
Listen, honey, we aren't doing that again. Either contribute to the thread or run along.

>>60134525
When you stop shilling (((communism))) I'll stop cuck.

Threadly reminder:

Communism could work if properly implemented, to date however there has never been a properly carried out communistic regime, or what I have recently been calling them, pseudo-communistic regimes.

should I use a netinstall iso when setting up my system? So far I've always used live isos, but it seems they still install a lot of unneccessary stuff

>>60134625

Regardless, this retarded OP does nothing but shit up the thread.

>>60134625
>>60134748
there are two main reasons to my knowledge why capitalism gain the head, profit from war and intelligence communities

>>60134772
They should install the same, no?

>>60134857
no, a live iso usually installs with exactly the same configuration as the live system - so for example with a gnome desktop with gedit, firefox and Evolution mail.
What I want is just the base system up until the display server, and choose the rest, specifically I'd like to not have something like ABRT (automated bug reporting tool) in Fedora running in the background. Only what I choose.
But I'm a bit worried that if I have to choose everything myself I might miss something critical, that's why I'm asking

>>60134910
Are you gonna use fedora? If so, the installer (at least the server netinstall one) has quite a lot of configuration options.

>>60135023

Installed a second SSD on my laptop. Battery life is cut in half. Someone above told me to install powertop. Not really sure what I'm looking at. How do I tell what exactly is draining my battery?

>>60135118
Install powertop

I fell for the Cinnamon meme and bloated my Debian.

What is the best performing filesystem for a SATA SSD?

>>60135164
you need to enable an option to allow the SSD not not spin when not in use

I have here a Windows tablet. Anyone know if you can install gnu/linux on it? Is touch supported?

Linux can't strive as long as (((GPL))) and (((GNU))) still exist. (((Richard Stallman))) designed (((gcc))) to make it impossible to use other compilers so it would be stuck with it like a parasite. The linux kernel would need a rewrite so white code isn't tainted by (((GPL))) anymore.

I seriously don't know which is worse. Commie posters or anti commie posters.

I got a Gnome extension for optirun that lets you right click programs to optirun them, but it only works in the list of applications, not my dock (dash to dock). Is there a way to use dash to dock for it?

I pass all my pngs through optipng before storage. I just tested and did a png2ff | bzip2 to an optipng png I had saved. the ratio's exactly 0.956~ (ff/opng).

For my use case, the storage space I'd save by using FF is inconsequential, the difference is really TOO minimal to adopt a format that is largely unknown and that'd require me to convert it before using it almost anywhere, and that'd force me to use an imageviewer which supports it.

I also tested feeding the ff program both the optimized png and the uncompressed png, results are quite interesting (even the hashes match)

I'm thinking about getting a laptop and installing arch on it for school work. I only have experience with arch on my home PC and my school uses a server a lot for accessing files, where on windows you would go to network and see all the computers listed, etc. How easy is that to set up on linux, if possible? Would it be listed as a drive in lsblk that can be mounted? Also how easy is it to write and compile C# on arch?

>>60137955
Yes

>>60137981
I suppose you wouldnt want to use it for images you intend to post anywhere. Neat, though.

>>60138031
depends on your school's IT guy.
>server
I suppose it's a windows machine and that everything's running on AD/IIS
if that's the case, have a look at samba and how to configure it. samba provides "discovery" of network PCs, so it should work the way you expect a windows machine to work in that regard.

>>60138071
It's definitely running windows server, I used it once as a class assignment for IT. How would that work from terminal? I almost never use a file manager like Nautilus and just do everything from command line, so could I mount the server like a drive and cd into a machine?

So, /fglt/. I've been using xubuntu for a while now, but I'm getting tired of Canonical and want to move in a different direction.

I hear lots of good stuff about Gentoo, installation process aside, and I'm thinking about using it. I like how open it seems and it I don't mind learning the ins and outs of the OS. I'm a hobbyist programmer and am comfortable with Unix conventions.

Will it remain tedious to use after I install, or will I generally be able to boot it and fuck around without having to edit config files all the time, like the memes tell me?

I use a nvidia card for light gaymen along with CUDA for tensorflow. The installation process was shitty enough on ubuntu. will I tear my hair out trying it with gentoo?

I plan on installing it on my t420 and trying it out for myself. Just looking for some thought before i dive right into it.

>>60138098
there's many methods, just literally check the wiki, it even has a couple articles about integrating samba with AD

7200rpm or msata ssd for my laptop? Which one is better for putting my root drive.

Does ssd really have much impact on linux?

I am using Openbox and using Thunar as my graphical file manager. My distro is Void. thunar-volman doesn't seem to want to mount USB drives automatically. And the trash bin is missing. But if I switch to Xfce4, which is what I installed Void with, then USBs work fine and there is a trash bin. Everywhere I search people say gvfs is an issue, but gvfs is installed for sure. Some places also say that Thunar is starting before gvfs which might be an issue but I wouldn't know how to find that out. Does anyone know the true problem?

I set a new GTK theme and now some things look kinda messed up, like it's missing tabs and such.

>>60138104
It can take a while to get it all configured the way you want, if you're picky, but afte rthat there's not much dicking around. If you don't give a shit, the defaults will generally get you a pretty usable system.

The install manual tells you pretty much everything you need to know to get started.

Disable thunar volman. Make sure you have gvfs-arc & gvfs afc. The problem may be polkit. Do you have udisks? Try

 polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
               if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.udisks") == 0)
{
                       return polkit.Result.YES;
                   }

Look, I like these things individually, okay. I know it is a very silly combination of things but I just want to be comfortable with my computer. Please don't hate me mister.

Is there a rolling release distro thats not Arch or one of it's forks that is stable enough for everyday use yet allows me to have up to date software?

Should I just install Debian-Unstable?

>>60138376
No, it's a buggy piece of dog shit

>>60138242
Depends entirely on how autismo you want to be. I'd recommend just starting out with the defaults, then whenever you install a new package, read up on what the use flags do and decide if you want that or not. For most people, the defaults are pretty sensible. A few defaults are pretty easily removed under certain situations, like the nls flag, which enables support for various non-English languages (so if your OS is in English only, it's pretty useless).

I went full autismo to squeeze as much out of my 8 year old c2d as possible and started with USE="-*" (don't enable anything optional unless I explicitly ask for it for each individual package).

One thing to watch out for though, is there are a few programs that are incredibly bloated that you may not expect, and take absolutely forever to compile (there are prebuilt versions of those available though). For example, the chromium source code is over 500MB and takes like 10+ hours for my old machine to compile (meanwhile, Firefox is like 1 hour).

If you are familiar with basic programming, unix, or are just capable of basic troubleshooting, and are willing to learn a little, then yes. Not that you frequently need said knowledge, but if you do run into trouble, you will have to google it instead of clicking a "just fix everything for me" button.

It's also particularly nice for development because there are no separate -dev packages like in other distros, so if you need some library, you just install that lib and all the includes come with it. Plus, if you wanna mess with the source code of anything, you can just use the ebuild command to unpack the source code, make your changes, then continue installing as normal.

It's also nice because there's virtually nothing forced on you if you don't want it. Part of the reason I switched years ago is because pulseaudio kept giving me all kinds of problems and virtually every other distro forced it on you whether you wanted it or not. Same idea with systemd. With Gentoo, you always have a choice instead of "you'll take what we give you".

>>60138253
Ah, that did not work, but thank you because it led me to what was the problem. I had to append dbus-launch to my .xinitrc to ensure the dbus daemon was working. Thank you very much.

Nothing. shutdown is a symlink to systemctl. Then systemctl reads $0 (name of the command it has been called from) and proceeds with systemctl shutdown.

Servers but it can "do" workstation also (GNOME only, something is "wrong" with KDE there). If you despise GNOME, pick a different distro, because it is probably going to disappoint you.

It's at 3.10, mate. It's not THAT old.

3.10

So I set up a KVM hypervisor on my CentOS box earlier today, and I've been trying to connect to it through virsh on my laptop running Ubuntu. The problem is that FreeDesktop PolKit bullshit is preventing me from connecting and I have no idea what to do. I consulted the libvirt and Arch wikis but none of their things mentioned worked. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Can someone please explain- if drivers are all included in the kernel, why do I need to install an extra package like mesa? If the i915 kernel driver already controls my GPU, why do I need mesa? Why do I need xf86-video-intel?

Oh yeah and here's the error:

>>60140228
Does Qubes use systemd? Anyway, it does sound pretty interesting, but it is kind of pointless. If you just want to defend your system from getting compromised by the average russian hacker qubes will barely help. Barely any malware exists for gnu/linux, and common sense on literally any distro will keep you safe. If you're worried about the CIA/NSA specifically targeting you, there's basically nothing you can do. Qubes is already completely subverted by proprietary blobs and the hardware level backdoor Intel and AMD put in your CPU.

Information in GNU man pages is also in GNU info pages, so removing man pages doesn't mean you can't read the info.

Also, man has a -M switch, with which you can control what path it uses to search for man pages.

So i have program extracted in
/home/user/Programs/ProgramName/
If i want to start it i need to go into
/home/user/Programs/ProgramName/bin
and start programName.sh

question is:
What do i need to do to start this program from terminal by just typing his name "PorgramName" or to start it from launcher

>>60142439
Let's ignore your disgusting directory structure for now and focus on the task at hand:
It depends on how programName.sh was written. It may need to be executed while it's in your current working directory or not.

If not, you just need to add /home/user/Programs/ProgramName/bin to your PATH.
If it needs it you may want to write a wrapper script that goes there and executes it.

i have added this to bashrc

export PATH=$PATH":/home/user/Programi/PhpStorm-162.2380.11/bin"

but it is not working
