/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

I'm a little worried that since an Arch install is so minimal that it leaks security features that other distros have.

So far I've enabled uncomplicated firewall, made a non-root user and use sudo as little as possible. What do I need to do next for good desktop security?

>>60739725
It depends how deep you want to go. What you're doing should be "good enough" for a desktop use case. You could go balls deep with SELinux and a bunch of security patches applied to Linux, but I really doubt you need that much.

Is the following doable?

I have a very old powermac, PPC architecture. Wanna compile gentoo for it, but on another computer so it doesn't melt.

Just want to extract the PPC stage3 on my regular desktop, chroot into it, and do all the normal installation stuff except for actually installing a bootloader.

Then I want to somehow put that entire installation in a tarball and extract it inside the PPC computer. Is this possible?

>>60740908
Offsite compiling is entirely doable but not exactly how you described it.
What you're looking for is probably https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Distcc/Cross-Compiling

>>60740908
you cannot chroot into a completely different architecture.

what you should try is creating a PPC gcc with crossdev, identical to the one in the PPC stage3 tarball then set up distcc.

Alternatively, if you have a really good computer, you can set up a PPC VM with qemu and do things there.

I wanna switch to linux, what's a decent distro that's not entirely shit?

>>60741232
Most of the good distros are not that user friendly these days.
So at the moment if you want an easy time just trying stuff out without much headache then you're going to have to settle

I'm hopeful that soon we'll get some good distros that are favorites of both advanced users and noobs as well again.

So anyways. It depends on whether you want "just werks" or if you're the type who doesn't mind trial and error learning on a more advanced distro.

Why is tar.gz better than .zip?

im putting debian jessieon a machine for a friend because lel stabilaty i guess. ive never used debian before. is there a list of main repos somewhere? i cannot fucking find where audacity is

>>60742492
lel

>>60742436
different tools for different purposes.

Somtimes zip is more conveninent, sometimes tar.gz can compress the same data to a smaller archive. Also gz is fully libre while zip allows proprietary extensions, which zip software makers utilized in the past without proper documentation so other zip packers could not handle their archives.

>>60742492
it is right in the main repo:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/audacity

>>60742436

I think ubuntu still has some minimal support for upstart. Besides that, you are out of luck.

>>60739688
At the risk of starting an argument, has anybody tried Wayland? Is it nice? Is it faster? Are there any compatibility issues?

I ask because I'm playing around with gentoo again on an old laptop (RAM<2GB) and I'm thinking about installing sway with Weyland and I'm wondering if anyone else has given it a go yet.

Please can we not flame about this? Just an honest discussion.

>>60744130
Not gonna bother with it as long as my WM won' either.

>>60744130
why would a flamewar happen over wayland

>>60744130
Wayland is shit and you still have to use an xorg compatibility layer to use any modern software.

Give wayland another 20 years and it MAY be up to standard

If you want ANY operating system to be better than it already is, what you need to do is quit being such a little bitch and tell people to start using it. If every windows user was forced to use GNU/Linux then all your problems would be solved within a month due to the massive demand.

Nobody said it's perfect, but I'd rather have something flawed on the surface which is much more elegant under the hood, than to have something that's absolute shit under the hood and has enough bandaids on the surface to appear decent (like windows)

How frequent are kernel updates (if they are even called that)?

Nope I can't endorse Linux as a product, there were better operating systems in the past, like Genera, the chipsets Linux are built for are commodity computers for people who don't understand engineering

>If every windows user was forced to use GNU/Linux then all your problems would be solved within a month due to the massive demand.

LOL, you vastly misunderstand the problems of Linux, which are inherent to any Unix clone, go play with an FPGA

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.

Surely not just all go install Windows or Mac right? BSD?

Anyone have DNS Leak Issues with OpenVPN and Ubuntu based systems? I'm using Kubuntu and it looks like what's happening is when I connect to my VPN of choice the /etc/resolve.conf isn't properly changing my DNS so that all my DNS queries are routed through the VPN.

I can manually change my opvn file to include

script-security 2
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

but then I have to start openVPN from my console which is a pain in the dick. I'd rather just connect to it through my Network Manager

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.

Ich möchte nur einen Augenblick einspielen. Was Sie als Linux bezeichnen, ist in der Tat, GNU / Linux, oder wie ich es vor kurzem gemacht habe, es zu nennen, GNU und Linux. Linux ist kein Betriebssystem für sich selbst, sondern eine weitere freie Komponente eines voll funktionsfähigen GNU-Systems, das von den GNU-Corelibs, Shell-Utilities und Vital-Systemkomponenten, die ein volles Betriebssystem wie von POSIX definiert haben, nützlich gemacht hat.

Viele Computerbenutzer laufen jeden Tag eine modifizierte Version des GNU-Systems, ohne es zu merken. Durch eine eigenartige Wendung wird die Version von GNU, die heute weit verbreitet ist, oft als "Linux" bezeichnet, und viele ihrer Benutzer sind sich nicht bewusst, dass es im Grunde genommen das GNU-System ist, das vom GNU-Projekt entwickelt wurde.

Es gibt wirklich ein Linux, und diese Leute benutzen es, aber es ist nur ein Teil des Systems, das sie benutzen. Linux ist der Kernel: das Programm im System, das die Ressourcen der Maschine den anderen Programmen zuordnet, die Sie ausführen. Der Kern ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil eines Betriebssystems, aber von selbst nutzlos; Es kann nur im Rahmen eines kompletten Betriebssystems funktionieren. Linux wird normalerweise in Kombination mit dem GNU-Betriebssystem verwendet: Das ganze System ist grundsätzlich GNU mit Linux hinzugefügt oder GNU / Linux. Alle so genannten "Linux" -Verteilungen sind wirklich Distributionen von GNU / Linux.

good night fellas, let him be butthurt

Haluaisin vain hetken välähdyksen. Mitä tarkoitat Linuxilla, se on itse asiassa GNU / Linux, tai kuten olen äskettäin ottanut kutsumaan sitä, GNU ja Linux. Linux ei ole itsenäisesti toimiva käyttöjärjestelmä vaan pikemminkin toinen täysin toimivan GNU-järjestelmän vapaa komponentti, joka on hyödyllinen GNU-sovellusten, kuori-apuohjelmien ja elintärkeiden järjestelmäkomponenttien avulla, jotka sisältävät POSIXin määrittelemän täydellisen käyttöjärjestelmän.

Monet tietokoneen käyttäjät tekevät päivittäin muutetun version GNU-järjestelmästä, mutta eivät ymmärrä sitä. Erityisen tapahtumien välityksellä nykyään laajalti käytetty GNU-versio on usein nimeltään "Linux", ja monet sen käyttäjistä eivät ole tietoisia siitä, että se on pohjimmiltaan GNU-hankkeen kehittämä GNU-järjestelmä.

On todella Linux, ja nämä ihmiset käyttävät sitä, mutta se on vain osa järjestelmää, jota he käyttävät. Linux on ydin: järjestelmäohjelmisto, joka varaa koneen resurssit muille suorittamille ohjelmille. Ydin on olennainen osa käyttöjärjestelmää, mutta itse hyödytön; Se voi toimia vain täydellisen käyttöjärjestelmän yhteydessä. Linuxia käytetään yleensä yhdessä GNU-käyttöjärjestelmän kanssa: koko järjestelmä on pohjimmiltaan GNU, johon on lisätty Linux tai GNU / Linux. Kaikki ns. "Linux" -jakaumat ovat todella GNU / Linux-jakeluja.

Right,so do as i told you.

Someone, start listing your gripes and groans with apt-get. Aptitude, what have you.

For me, I personally hate the way they've spliced it into multiple different bins. Apt-get install, apt-upgrade, apt-search, and here's a kicker:
Apt-get install --purge [package]

You are running a command to "INSTALL" the "PURGE" of a package. How fucked is that?

Només m'agradaria interposar per un moment. El que vostè es refereix com Linux, és, de fet, GNU / Linux, o com recentment he començat a cridar a ella, a més de GNU Linux. Linux no és un sistema operatiu en si mateix, sinó més aviat un altre component lliure d'un sistema GNU completament de funcionament fa útil pels corelibs GNU, utilitats de shell i components vitals del sistema que comprenen un sistema operatiu complet com es defineix per POSIX.

Molts usuaris d'ordinadors executen una versió modificada del sistema GNU tots els dies, sense adonar-se'n. A través d'un gir peculiar dels esdeveniments, la versió de GNU, que és àmpliament utilitzat avui en dia és sovint anomenat "Linux", i molts dels seus usuaris no són conscients que és bàsicament el sistema GNU, desenvolupat pel Projecte GNU.

Realment és un Linux, i aquestes persones estan fent servir, però és només una part del sistema que utilitzen. Linux és el nucli: el programa en el sistema que assigna els recursos de la màquina als altres programes que s'executen. El nucli és una part essencial d'un sistema operatiu, però inútil per si mateix; només pot funcionar en el context d'un sistema operatiu complet. Linux s'utilitza normalment en combinació amb el sistema operatiu GNU: tot el sistema és bàsicament GNU amb Linux agregat, o GNU / Linux. Tots els anomenats "distribucions de Linux" són realment les distribucions de GNU / Linux.

Always install with a separate /home partition and you will never have to worry about losing anything. I've had the same /home across several installs. Sometimes it's a good idea to delete everything except the main folders so that old configs don't fuck with the stock stuff especially if you distro hop. It's so easy that many times that I've had issues I don't even bother troubleshooting because I can just smash a live USB in and have a fresh install within 10 minutes.

Anyone ever run into this problem? I've been trying to setup OpenVPN on my Kubuntu install however it looks like if I connect to my VPN through my Network Manager I get DNS leaks up the ass. If I manually run OpenVPN from my console it seems to work just fine.

how to apt install something without the recommended/optional shit that gets pulled by default on bunutu

Hey all, looking for some experienced users to pass on some advice

What exactly is a package? What is the difference between a package and something I see on github?

Can you combine packages? Why does Debian warn me to not install Ubuntu packages? Is this really that bad?

What is a precompiled package? Is something on github not precompiled? Can something from github be installed on any distro, or are some things dangerous to install?

When I do "sudo apt-get install" this searches from the package from each URL on sources.list and installs it, correct? So if I add the AUR repository to sources.list on my Debian system, is this dangerous?

>What exactly is a package? What is the difference between a package and something I see on github?
A package is a piece of software provided in a form that you can install on your distribution using your package manager.
Software you see on Github isn't packaged, you can't just install it on your distribution in the form of a package. You have to create a package out of it yourself.

>Can you combine packages? Why does Debian warn me to not install Ubuntu packages? Is this really that bad?
I don't know what that means. You shouldn't install Ubuntu packages on Debian because they might require some dependencies which aren't available on Debian.

>What is a precompiled package? Is something on github not precompiled? Can something from github be installed on any distro, or are some things dangerous to install?
Look up what compiling is and you'll get your answer. You can install anything that you find hosted on Github on all distributions.

>When I do "sudo apt-get install" this searches from the package from each URL on sources.list and installs it, correct? So if I add the AUR repository to sources.list on my Debian system, is this dangerous?
You can't add the AUR repository (which isn't a repository) on Debian. Look up what the AUR is.

Does anybody know a package that I can install in Ubuntu which monitors how many Internet connections are outgoing, in a trayicon?

>>60751762
Use synaptic manager... but the packages ubuntu get pulled are necessary for each package. So they are not optional.

>>60751788
a package can mean a lot of things, but in general its a bundle of source code or compiled code with a version number, a date, and programatical instructions that a package manager reads to in order to install the software, usually this means moving the compiled binaries into path locations and other things that a make install does. what you see on github can be the same, but some advantages of packaging is that you dont have to compile the code, you dont have to manage dependancies, and you dont have to manage applying updates, the cli of your package manager makes it all really easy. many github repos are packaged.

maybe? i mean its your world when it comes to programming so theres nothing stopping you from taking the source from two packages and compiling them and then packing them up and listing them, youll likely not be recieved well because youre defeating the purpose of packaging. Its all modular, that way instead of putting all of a programs dependancies in with the program, you make them their own package so that they can be updated, and maintained separately.

Debian is a GNU safe space so it doesnt like that ubuntu will package proprietary software and keep it on their servers. also neither the canonical nor the debian foundation test that they work accross platforms, so if you hit a bug your on your own. but you should really be fine.

a precompiled package is a package that is just binaries, all machine code. unreadable by humans, a github page will have source code which is readable and will often be compiled. you should read up on what compilation is and why its important. Usually you can adapt any source code to any distro. there are cases where the dependancies of a piece of software (the libraries that it uses) are not availiable on some distros through their default package manager. by and large, if it works on any of the major distros youll likely get it to run on yours.

try it, see what happens.

>>60751788
In its purest form a package would really just be the original software combined with some metadata about dependencies and such, in a uniform format (not everything comes from github).

In reality however, some distributions actually tweak the software for a number of different reasons.

One other reason they're "packages" is because most distros are binary based, and you don't download binaries from github. So the binary is compiled against a typical set of library versions that are selected by your distro maintainers and the binary is put in the package.
Source based distros on the other hand (like gentoo) actually don't package up the software itself. Their "packages" are almost just text files that are more like sets of instructions saying "go here, clone this github repository, compile it like this, etc.."

If you're wondering why distros don't just share repositories (aside from the difference between binary and source based distros) it's because they build the software differently, with different library versions that aren't necessarily the same on other distros, and also because as I mentioned earlier they actually do tweak some of the software in different ways.

>>60751788
The AUR uses a makepkg, and apt get uses deb files so adding it would be pointless, not everything is plug and play

You don't use Arch, you use Debian.

How do i use the gcc? its installed but i wanted to write some code and use it.

>>60753010
Dude, google.
gcc is a command line tool, so unless you're confused about some specific quirk of using a terminal to do things, then why ask basic How-To questions in /fglt/ that you can find in half the time by just searching on your own?

Do the i3 users of /fglt/ prefer Win or Alt? They both seem very awkward

>>60752938
If nothing else, you can put something together by using a generic text monitor and reading from /proc/net/ip_conntrack or /proc/net/nf_conntrack.

At its very basic, something like

grep -c ESTABLISHED /proc/net/ip_conntrack

sounds like it works. In the machine I'm testing this in I'm doing NAT for another network, so I also have to grep for my own IP address to filter those out, but I think in a desktop use case this should work. Anyway I just assumed ESTABLISHED means what I think it means, do your own reading if you go this route.

I'm not sure what you need to do to get those files under /proc, though - I just installed conntrack on my desktop but only one of them popped up, and it's empty.

What's the foobar2000 of GNU/LINUX?

is there any way to have thumbnails in the linux filepicker?

No such thing exists retard. There are however thumbnails in the KDE filepicker, which you can install on linux.

>>60754431
>which you can install on linux
No, you can't, retard. There are however thumbnails in the KDE filepicker, which you can install on GNU/Linux.

Yeah. It's because I didn't make that folder. Some webcam program did.

>>60754394

>>60754462
No you can't, retard. There are however thumbnails in the KDE filepicker, which you can install on KDE/Linux.

>>60754484
What you're referring to as KDE filepicker, is in fact, QT filepicker, developed by the QT project.

>>60754484
No you can't, retard. Did KDE pioneer free software? No. It was GNU. Deal with it.

>>60754517

>>60754920
>There's in fact an ongoing discussion:

>>60754920
Ok, so QtWebEngine is an attempt to de-botnet chromium. Doesn't change the fact that chromium itself is a botnet, no matter what you run it on.

>>60754958
QtWebEngine embeds Chromium engine for use in QT applications.

>>60754991
Right, and it leaves out the most obvious botnet parts. Making it an attempt to de-botnet chromium. Still doesn't change the fact that chromium itself is a botnet, no matter what you run it on.

No. A virtual machine has different hardware. If you can boot a live system and it works, then it is safe to assume that you can install it and make it work.
