So this is my first time working with a ground up linux system. I have almost everything the way I like it, but there are two basic things that are annoying me, and they both involve mounting and unmounting media and partitions.

Basically, I want to have hot plugging enabled.

As in, I plug in a USB drive, it automatically mounts and is listed in my file manager.

I hate having to open terminal and do
>sudo mount /dev/sdxy /media
to make it show up and then unmount it after.

I've heard about automount daemons but I can't find any. Is there a simple way to do this?

The second problem is much easier, and that is giving myself permission to mount and unmount the windows partition. Right now I have my fstab edited to where the windows partition is always mounted, but I have no permission to unmount it. Is there an easier way for this?

Thanks.

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
>>
>>61548350
>>61548358
Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?

Hi guys,
I have a noob question. I was reinstalling arch with win7 like I've done before exactly the same way but now when i run os-prober instead of it recognizing the windows partitions it says 'Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.'

The thing confusing me is that im only using one hard drive so idk why it thinks its anything lvm, I read i could just ignore it and instal grub with and do the mkconfig and it will work anyway but it hasn't.
Any ideas?

I've got this installed on a server running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and although I've got 6 HDDs connected to it, only one seems to be detected. Why would this be? There aren't Ubuntu drivers on the download page but that shouldn't matter since Ubuntu is showing it, right?

I like how that one guy called banning a mirror because of a joke name unprofessional. Very irony.

It was satire. Some arch dev removed his mirror (loli.forsale) from the official list of mirrors and he wrote a long satirical reply which boiled down to:
>muh free speech
>muh abstract sensitive offended person that probably wouldn't even happen
>I do important work on a proto-isp and the center for lost lolis in my spare time, I am allowed to joke about these things!

It wasn't satire. You don't know what satire is.

He tried to be witty and ironically point out all of the "good things" he does for the community (like hosting a mirror at his work) to defend his cringe-worthy sense of humour. He also complained about how they just removed it before even contacting him and trying to sort out out.

I agree with this. Many people are starting to take the GNU/Linux meme seriously. Seeming as one of the most widely used peices of software in Linux systems is bash, why don't we call it Brian Fox/GNU/Linux and so on, for other major peices of software.

>>61552501
Thats basically the result when people think Linux is the complete system with some GNU tools installed. At this point of view I can understand that it sounds retarded to add a random contribution into the system name, but the thing is, GNU is not a set of programs installed in "Linux"; GNU is an operating system, combined with the kernel Linux. These two parts make the core of the system.
>why don't we call it Brian Fox/GNU/Linux
bash is already part of the GNU system. The GNU project sat down to make an operating system, made a list of what is needed wrote the core programs, shell, libraries and compilers. Bash is one of these programs.

The only reason he made that was to be edgy. People like that are the most obnoxious idiots out there. It's not about the alleged joke, it's the fact that they're so retarded that they think being edgy will make them interesting. Just like he accuses those "SJWs" that they go out of their way to be offended, he does the same by being edgy for the sake of being edgy. It's like someone would make "that's what she said" all day long and then complained why no one would want to hang around them.

Any sane person maintaining something (for example the mirror list) would just ignore bullshit like this, remove it and stop enabling cringe-worthy edgelords and that's exactly what happened.

I'm bumping iy because I think I got it.

While the networking service is trying to get net from a bridge, the lxc-net is trying to bring up a NAT I didn't configure it.

Now I'm messing around with the ifup and the networking service since I don't understand at 100% why now I'm only able to restart network with "ifup" and not with "service networking restart" or "init.d/networking".
>>
>>61561721
Yes. It removes a bunch of the strain from your CPU and offloads it to the GPU, which is what it's for. If you don't like the built in compositor either, turn that off too and try installing and using compton, a standalone compositor.
>>

>Now I'm messing around with the ifup and the networking service since I don't understand at 100% why now I'm only able to restart network with "ifup" and not with "service networking restart" or "init.d/networking".
This always means a config error somewhere.
>>
>>61561833
That's what I'm trying to figure out. This afternoon I swapped "auto" for "allow-hotplug" and the bridge was up at boot perfectly. I don't know what did I change it is not doing it now.

I though it was lxc-net but seems like something more is messing around. Interfaces is still the same file and lxc-net conf is not there anymore since I want a bridge, not a NAT..

Thing is network goes flawless with "ifup br0" but untill that, the system ignores the bridge (which is already on interfaces file)

>>
>>61561878
>>61561833
If the kind anon is still there, I managed to resolve it. Seems like allo-hotplug (for some reason) might got glitched or is related to "lxc-net" (which is disabled since an hour ago) so swapping it back to "auto br0" fixed the issue.

Am I right on the process or it just luck I just had?
>>
>>61562157
"apt-get -f install wine" should fix most broken-package issues. The f is fix, not force.
>>
>>61562323
No, you're right. auto pulls it up first, allow-hotplug waits until it detects link. If you had lxc-net set to auto, allow-hotplug br0 would definitely have broken your configuration.
>>
>>61562421
Thing is it worked with "allow-hotplug" while having lxc-net, but everything got messed up when I disabled lxc-net. Very weird if I got you right.

You're redirecting the output, so it needs the ability to write into that file before running any commands.

You can circumvent that by using sponge from moreutils.

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.

The users have no idea what they are doing so support is like the blind leading the blind.
It completely fails the one objective it has, to make arch easy and stable, breaks happen often and users are not knowledgeable enough to fix them, even if the breaks are very simple and trivial a lot of the time. This mainly happens because packaging is terribly done and their bullshit of "stabilizing" arch repos just consists of 5 people MAYBE installing and using the packages.
Philm [the man, the god, the legend] stole the logo from Nine Inch Nails. He never acknowledged this, recognized the fact, paid anything to NIN or apologised to NIN. This is in the true spirit of manjaro, steal other people's work and pass it off as your own.

That is not true.
Which is it anon?
Backpeddling are we now?

Limiting ANYONE from compiling the kernel with anything besides gcc is a problem and needs to be addressed.

Not be KEKED with GPL on all the important shit.
Not be associated with Stallman or FSF cancer.
Have multiple compiler options(embedded being the biggest to gain from faster compiles and less bloat).

>>61577056
/home/$user/Documents, you get the idea

It's not very good to mount actual /home on HDD because you'll have user's xdg cache folder on HDD too and it will have negative impact on the performance of programs that use it (e.g. web browsers)
>>
>>61577133
Put /tmp on a tmpfs on your ram.
Symlink .cache to /tmp

Do this for all your caches.
Or you can use profile-sync-daemon if you are lazy

I am a linux newbee, nearly as new as it gets.
Win 10 sux, holy fuck, they wanna know me inside and out.
which distro should I get? install debian 9; or go over to mint/ubuntu, or REALLY go full nerd gentoo?

2 things I didn't like on debian: celmentine was old (1.2? 1.3?) and my media keys on the keyboard didn't work.
everything else did what it was supposed to do.

The only restriction the GPL imposes on developers is on the "right" to deny others the freedoms the developer enjoys.
>>
>>61577151
Will only work on case to case basis

First, because of tmpfs you lose your caches on reboot, which may make startup times longer
Second, some programs might expect you to have a lot of space there (e.g. mc used to unpack archives into /tmp, browser caches can also grow too big), so you need to be aware of the amonut of spare ram you have

The GKEKPL prevents you from actually controlling your own code.YOu have to adheare to the BULLSHIT 4 commandments.

GCUKPL is for developers that dont want to control their code.
GKEKPL is only in the favor of the USERS not the code creators.
Why would i spent 5 years in development only to have some guy contribute a 5 line patch and then take control of the project with his own fork?

RETARDATION AT ITS FINEST

>>61577885
>prevents you from actually controlling your own code
That's the point of free software, anon.
>GCUKPL is for developers that dont want to control their code.
Developers are always free to make their own free code proprietary, the GPL doesn't prevent that.
>Why would i spent 5 years in development only to have some guy contribute a 5 line patch and then take control of the project with his own fork?
So you are basically against free/libre and open source in general?

I have bad sectors on one of my HDDs after I accidentally unplugged the computer. I was using zfs and the zpool wasn't detected. I'm hoping there isn't any physical problem with the drive and the bad sectors can be repaired, but the question is how? Is zeroing out the drive a good solution? There isn't any data on the drives yet, fortunately.

I'm considering migrating from KeepassX to KeepassXC. Everything seems more or less to work fine in KeepassXC, but for some reason its UI doesn't fit itself in to my native theme.

At first I thought it must be that KeepassXC uses Qt, while KeepassX doesnt, but it seems they both use Qt.

Anyone know what would be causing KeepassXC to not look native, while KeepassX does?

Hey /g/uys,
I'm a new gentoo user here. I want to ask if it's possible to point emerge to a temporary make.conf, build a binary package, put it on a flashdrive and use it on a different computer? I have a powerful rig that seems to compile stuff in a snap, and my shitty laptop that takes hours to compile even the smallest things. I want to be able to make binaries for it on my desktop and just copy them over. as far as I know, I should be able to just use the make.config from my laptop and copy it over to the desktop and use that to make some binaries to send to the laptop, right? I know distcc is a thing, but I've read that I'll have to reinstall gentoo to enable that in my system, which I'd rather not do. What's the best way to approach this?
