>>61482273
Don't use your only computer to do the installation and learning upon.

>>61482273
You need to be curious, really.
I first installed it because I was curious, and a friend and I installed it on computers at home and would share some info too.

BTW this was back before smart phones, and we had to compile our kernel to get some devices to work.

SparkyLinux with Lumina
https://sparkylinux.org/lumina-desktop/

Asking this again.

Installing Linux through Architect and it brings up installation types. Stable, and Developer. No matter what I choose the installation says its complete only giving me the option to reboot, shutdown, and lunch a virtual environment which is just a terminal.

What could be the deal?

>>61482273
Virtual Machines, duh. Play around with Ubantoo for a while, maybe install it to a HD if you like it, then switch to a grown up distro like Debian or Arch.

Got a new SSD and reinstalling Debian. The firmware is non-free and have iwlwifi packaged in the bootable drive. This method always worked for me. But ever since the new SSD it's not working.

What's away around this?

>>61482413
Use a Debian image with non-free software: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

you could also just download the package and dependencies online and copy them over, then dpkg -i

>>61482379

>>61482384
>the installation says it's complete
What's the problem?

>>61482462
Again, Lumina.

>>61482452
>Use a Debian image with non-free software: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/
I've tried this, there's no firmware packaged in here. It still asks.

>you could also just download the package and dependencies online and copy them over
This was my usual method of getting it to work, but this time it's failing.

>>61482480
Because nothing has been installed.

>>61482384
Answering you again.

You dont need an installer,the default vanilla arch install is max 10 commands.Read the installation wiki and dont rely on some shitty script,which is currently broken in your environment

so i am a fucking dumbass, i installed opensuse on a 2011 macbook, in the installer i choose to replace a devuan installation with the opensuse one, now i have the partition scheme on pic related, the macbook starts and shows the folder with the classic fucking question mark so i booted opensuse on the hdd from the live cd (using linuxefi (hd1,gpt3).... and all that jazz) which i am now using to post this.
how do i tell the macbook start from this installation ? if i'm not wrong the first 200mb partition was left from a fedora installation which configured everything but i'm not really sure and i'm afraid to delete it/format it w/e
>inb4 macbook
>inb4 opensuse
got it for free and devuan is fine and all but opensuse is like drugs, you just sit down and relax using that shit.

>>61482586
You need to change the grub config to boot the new os,or tell it to pause on boot and let you manually choose which one you want each time you boot

Linux vms work flawlessly even on modest hardware. Not heavier DEs though like plasma or gnome.

I installed Gentoo on my T420.

When I close the lid, it won't suspend to ram.

I enabled suspend in the kernel, and the s2ram actually works, so it's not like I don't have the suspend functionality on my install, but it won't suspend automatically when close the lid.

Has anyone had this issue?

How can I fix this?

Just install a minimal install in a VM, like CentOS or Debian. Learn some basic shell scripting and how to use vim.

I just landed a Linux sysadmin job but I have no experience being a sysadmin. I have been using Linux for 5 years but only as desktop and have no sysadmin certs or anything so I'm afraid I'll fuck up this job.

You need a learner mindset, that's it. as >>61482366 said, just need to be a curious person.

Having said that, for basic use, "learning Linux" is easy. Installing something like Ubuntu takes no effort. You just click through some menus like you would with Windows and hit "Install."

It's also very easy to install software to browse the internet, do word processing/spreadsheets, and digital art. In some cases it's easier, because there's no paywall and you don't need "cracked" software either.

Bottom line, just jump in and try to use Linux to do everything you do on Windows. If you can't figure out how to do something, google it. It's not exactly hard to use, just different from what you're used to.

>>61482273

Hi /fglt/, i'm meme webdev and bad at sysadmin stuff.
I had some cheap vps of mine taken down because it got hacked and used as spam machine after i installed a bunch of services in an apparently insecure fashion.

I figured i should start monitoring wtf happens on my systems so i could hopefully get some kind of indication next time this kind of shit happens instead of manually looking into apache logfiles like a pleb every few months or so.

I'm looking into log management systems, i want some nice access controlled web ui displaying sweet graph porn of at least apache, maybe db logs + whatever else could be useful. I only have max 3 vps at a time.
What do i chose ?
So far i've looked into :

-munin : lighweight but seems more to be about perfs monitoring than security, also would need to learn perl to go anywhere
-elk meme stack : seems to do everything i need except it might be bloated and aimed at people with lots of machines, i don't want to pay 2x more server monies just for log monitoring
-goaccess : seems simple enough with nice ui but only werks with http logs
-a few other projects that handle specific parts of the issue but i need to look more into it

Is this a good approach ?
Pls halp and give advice.

>>61491438

How can I fix this problem.

>>61491834
Run your bootloader script for it to detect other OS.

Do you guys keep a graphical file manager installed or do you find mc/ranger sufficient?

>>61491890
Yes, for the few cases where it's useful

>>61491890
just coreutils

>>61491561
do yourself a favor and learn some basic iptables. with superuser or root, run:

iptables -F
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A INPUT i -lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables other stuff you need, e.g. SSH

there's some basic crap, learn the syntax and adjust according to your needs. if you use IPv6, use same commands with "ip6tables". after these, install iptables-persistent and run configuration

dpkg-reconfigure iptables-persistent

to make sure all your rules are saved and available after reboot

>>61491890
As a windrone, I can't imagine how you guys don't use graphical file managers.

That sounds like pure autism that fetishizes the console at a huge cost of productivity.

Subjective senpai. I'm faster on a terminal w/o a mouse to hold my dick.

>>61491974
My terminal is the main instrument to control my system and everything in it.

When I want specific information, I run a command, or even a function I've defined before to get simple, uncluttered answers for my questions.

When I want my system to do something, especially when I do it everyday, I write a script that does it for me.

When I need to rename a folder of 1k files, I just a command with wildcards and lean back while enjoying the show.

When I want to change a system setting, I don't want to search an icon, click a botton, find the correct tab and toggle a switch; I just run an alias in my terminal: thing-on, thing-off

Overall, using the cli is fast, efficient, flexible and the best thing: it feels like using a computer.

>>61491974
for single file usage yes
for multi file manipulation commands are easier and faster

>>61491973
I usually use state for established connections. What's the diff with conntrack.

Installing something like Ubuntu or Mint is literally as easy as installing Windows. You don't even have to install it if you don't want to. You can run it off a DVD or a flash-drive if you are too baby to handle the sheer lack of intelligence required to install the OS.

They're having a HN requests thread on Ubuntu right now, give it a try if you want. It's something Dustin Kirkland started doing recently, and it seems like it's getting results.

Guys I've been using xubuntu for the past 7-8 months. I have zero to no problems with it except a minor bug with wallscreens.
However I basically used it like a minimal windows. What distro should I move onto if I want to become more familiar with the terminal?

2) What's a nice chrome extension to edit and save custom CSS?

Thank you in advance.

>>61495232
No reason to not stick with xubuntu if it is working fine for you. Instead, start using apt-get instead of synaptic, vim/nano/emacs/whatever instead of whatever text editor you're using, and just generally start thinking about terminal-first ways to go about things. The rest should come naturally.

If you really want to jump head-first into the terminal, Arch is a great distro. But understand you'll basically have to build your OS from scratch (not entirely, but that's what it will feel like). If that sounds intimidating, try building it in a VM.

>>61495122
Yes, you'll need to convert the VM image to RAW, dd that onto your primary disk using a live disk (you'll also need the image on somewhere other than your primary disk). You'll then probably want to resize your partitions to fill up your entire drive.

>>61484446
If you don't want to segment out your work in VMs like Qubes does, Debian is a good choice. Debian stable has "old" packages but has one of the largest and most robust security teams out of any linux distro.

Use selinux too, grsecurity is said to be a meme by some people and not a meme by others, I'm not well-read enough in order to recommend it but selinux is definitely a good move.

>>61491438
The best precaution is definitely to not insall a bunch of services in an apparently insecure fashion. Like I recommended the other anon selinux+auditd would give you a better picture of stuff like this if you learn how to use it. Also munin is great not just for monitoring, but its monitoring capabilities can help you identify if some resources get used that shouldn't get used. Also snort is a good IDS, though having it on the same interface as the server you're running on is less secure.

Ignorance is bliss, Debian's 'security team' is one of the worst in the industry, even Ubuntu's is better. The fact of the matter is if you want a secure Linux desktop then you want RHEL/CentOS/Fedora which is why Qubes uses Fedora.

I use Debian primarily myself, for the vast package repository. Don't lie to yourself and others in the hopes of making them feel more secure.

I have been having random freezes on my Arch system. I have been trying to work out what is causing it. After reviewing journalctl messages from the last boot, this seems to be the culprit:

Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service not found.

Pacman reports that dbus is in fact installed, so I'm unsure as to why this causes the desktop to freeze.

You could try removing that service file, avahi isn't vital to anything.
Although that really shouldn't cause your desktop to freeze.

>>61503093
They are distros that were made with the purpose of having something working for non-veteran linux users. They're "basic" as in they still manage to have the tools already installed to do plenty of tasks that most normal people would want such as web browsing, watching videos, writing documents and the like.

Besides simple doesn't mean bad. Some people have been using Ubuntu for years and it's not like they're "stuck there" or anything like that, they just don't need anything else.

Also there is no perfect OS period. No amount of tinkering can make an OS perfect or even close to perfect. All OSes have glaring flaws.

I'd recommend 8.1 or 7 over a virtual machine instead. They run fairly ok for anything that is not games, I've been able to work with simple stuff on the Adobe suite over a virtual machine better than running it through WINE and that waas not long ago, when WINE was supposed to be mature enough to handle some newer shit.
