Hello friends.
Have you yet tried the system of operation Astra Linux?
It is in my opinion as secure as armor of tank from Uralvagonzavod, precise in execution of user command like rifle from Cnitochmash and of beautiful interface to traverse which is like you ride a horse in early morning hour through a polyana or a birch tree grove.

I can not create a new keyring in seahorse with gnome-keyring, nor can I edit login.
I'm using arch with i3

>>55376065
that removes the error, but I still can't create a new keyring. I forgot to say, when I try to create a new keyring it says: "no such secret collection at path: /"

I love the barebone-ness of Archlinux, but I don't like having so many updates to do. I'd rather not think about them.

I might go back to it again, but maybe there's another distro I should take a look at?

>>55376334
Debian net install without a DE?

>>55376334
Have a look at Manjaro.
It's basically Arch, the comfy version.

Yes, by delaying them. All packages, not just the ones which "break".
I wish I was smarter and with a bigger vocabulary, so I could explain how stupid those derivative distributions are.

>>55376586
It doesn't only delay them, it also provides patches for things that Arch users need to do manually.

>>55376547
We have things such as antergos for that easy install

Antergos or other distros based on arch do this

Updates are delayed
They just wait till almost all problems are solved until they push all updates

Friendly reminder for the manjaro users that take this negatively that I am not hating on manjaro

I need help on my auto XDCC from irssi.

Its says

 DCC can't create file /path/to/directory/animu.mkv: Permission denied

and the permissions for it with ls -l is

drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nogroup        40 May 23 00:22 nulog

How do I change permissions for this user without using chown? Because if I use chown transmission won't be able to download to this directory too.

Whats a good release that is gentoo light but without the complexities and time of gentoo? I normally use gentoo if I want to use linux on my thinkpad I just don't feel like taking the time to do it anymore.

Is there a way to expose the bzImage of a running kernel? I'm trying to get network boot working for my cluster and I want them to be able to serve the image to child nodes.

>>55377128
Assuming you manually wrote out /path/to/directory and irssi is actually trying to save it to nulog:

nulog is set as writable to the user "nobody", everyone else only has read access. Either chmod it 777 or give your user access to it with setfacl

Anyone got any icon packs to recommend? Numix is good but I'd like something that makes it a little easier to tell what the icon is for.

There's something called net-install. Just because a package is installed, doesn't mean it's "loaded".

You're totally a long-term, authentic Gentoo user.

>>55377368

You don't know what you want. All you did was mention some buzzwords like "light" and "not complex". People suggested you distributions like that and you dismissed it, because it doesn't fit your ridiculous and idiotic buzzword demands.
What you want doesn't exist. The suggested distributions, which are non-derivative, can be all that. They can be whatever you configure them to. Good luck finding your shitty, derivative niche distribution which just happens to fit your retarded demands.

I have an SSH server running on my ubuntu box using certificates and whatnot.

I want to set up an sftp server and read somewhere that sftp is part of SSH or something? I tried connecting from my phone using the same port as SSH is set up on, 10100 and using my certificate but it wouldn't werk.

What do?

Hi peeps
I have been using Manjaro on my laptop since 2 months now. I have been loving it, it's running greatly on a single core CPU with 3gigs of ram.

I want to go linux on my desktop but I don't really know what to use to replace my adobe software for video and image editing.

I have been trying Gimp for basic image editing, I can roll with it.
I don't really like Inkscape for vetorial edition, if someone know a good alternative, I will be thankful.
My real concern is the video editing software. Again if someone has an idea, I would be thankful again.

im trying to set up a samba share on ubuntu server. i want it to broadcast the shares so that all windows pcs on the network can just click network and open them up. i went through this simple guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Network%20Share%20Via%20Samba%20Via%20CLI%20(Command-line%20interface/Linux%20Terminal)%20-%20Uncomplicated,%20Simple%20and%20Brief%20Way! and it was working fine.

then i changed permissions on some stuff and i can't browse to them any more, but i can access them by typing in the ip

what are the things i need to check to be able to browse to the folders without typing in an ip? i already restored the smb.conf to default and added just the lines in that guide back but i still cant see it and get to it without typing in the path

>>55377964
I have some samba shares on Debian. You just open your file explorer on Windows and browse your local network.

how do i install windows 7 on a debian machine, when i select to boot from usb it just go back into debian, i've checked with another computer and the usb boots fine there

I began my Linux experience with Ubuntu 14.04, and after learning a bit, switched to Arch (i686 on an older PC). I got sick of having so much power with Arch, I could never get anything done besides tweak my setup, so I decided to boot back into Ubuntu, and it's dreadful.

Unity/Nautilus are awful and I can't do ANYTHING because it's trying to protect me from myself like a fucking Windows user. I can't install a bitmap font, I can't even download fucking emacs packages without going through and editing my permissions.

I'm looking for a distro that's a happy medium: geared more towards experienced users but not so much so that I'm going to spend most of my time setting up my window manager.

I was thinking about Debian or maybe Fedora. I don't know much about OpenSUSE. What do you think /fglt/?

>>55377964
i know, they don't show up in there anymore. i have to type in the network path at the top of the file explorer to get to them now

>>55378040
meant to reply to >>55377990

>>55377552
You can attempt to install these with WINE. I've heard Photoshop works pretty well with it, but I don't know how Premiere would work.

>>55378053
i should mention that i have tried added browsable = yes in the smb.conf share options but it still doesn't work, when testpharm is ran it doesnt spit out 'browsable = yes' under the share's options

>>55377564
Okay I get user/password prompt.

I think I've disabled the user/password prompt for SSH in the config file, does this affect sftp too?

any gentoomen who can help me with funtoo here?

I'm at the step where I have to chroot into funtoo, and bash is complaining about the missing libncurses.so
I looked, and it is indeed not there. Now I assume I have to install libncurses, however I have no idea how to do so when I haven't even finished installing the OS and the Filesystem root is still the one of my livecd.
what the fuck do I do here?

>>55378090
I will probably give it a try !
I guess it shouldn't have too many problems with the good config.

Alright so I just recently switched over from Win7 to Ubuntu. Really liking things so far, not as difficult to get in to as people made it sound. The only thing that I would like to do is add a Properties bar to the bottom of the file manager like there is in Windows 7. For example the bar that shows the properties of an image, it's dimensions, date modified, created, etc..)

Is this possible?

Even if I have my TV completely powered off (unplugged), Linux still detects it sometimes and there's an invisible 'screen' off to the side, on the Login screen, and whenever I need to use a Live CD.

Is there any way to get it to stop, without unplugging the hdmi cable every time?

>>55378780

Not with Nautilus (Unity's file manager). I know that neither Thunar nor Nemo can do that. Your best bet would be Dolphin (KDE's file manager). You can install it and see for yourself.

>>55378817
+1 Highly recommend Dolphin.

>>55378817
>>55378863

Much appreciated. Is it pretty simple to switch Dolphin to the default file manager in Ubuntu 16.04?

>>55378809
I think you can cover an hdmi pin with insulation tape to stop the auto on/off detect, though i am not sure if it'd work for this case. Google it.

>>55378975
Use Unity control panel > application preferences/default apps. Something like that. You can select Dolphin as your file manager from there (provided that you have it installed.

>>55378421

Recently I installed Ubuntu, dual booted with win10. I got 14.04 with Unity, so that if I ran into problems everything was pretty stock, and similar to most of the users. However it doesn't 'just work'. Simple shit like connecting a monitor over VGA or installing nodejs.

So I'm wondering what actually works with not too much maintenance and headache. I don't mind having to do initial setup but nothing too crazy.

What's currently the best, feature-rich and out-of-the-box beautiful DE?

I'm using Debian 8 (jessie), so far I like it, but is there a way to install newer packages on it? Most of the software I've used on other distros seems to be newer.

Dumb question

I have an NFS share that I mount on my desktop and laptop (everything is Fedora 23). When the file server gets shut down it totally borks the computers connected to it. I can't access my home folder, and when I try to shut down it hangs.

Is this just a problem with NFS? Is there a way to stop this apart from manually dis-mounting the NFS share on each connected system?

Only problem is all my torrents (3tb) is on ntfs partition in windows and it was downloaded from private tracked so I have to seed. questions is: how can i migrate linux? wait till I re-seed everything, delete them, re-format partition to ext4? or just leave it as it is ntfs? Thanks!

>>55387273
You shouldn't use NTFS on linux unless you absolutely need to e.g. dual boot

>>55387273

You move the torrents to the new partition (ext4) and point the torrent client you install to its location.

>>55386881
I could not understand what you mean by "don't trusting your install". If you have files that you don't want to be recovered, you should shred them. If you are afraid of files coming back to life withouth external action, you don't need to worry.

>>55387374

Why is that? This is slowly really getting annoying. Who's the culprit for the shitty performance? Drivers' (nouveau) or Firefox's lack of hardware acceleration on Linux (X's?).

No, because there's no clear, objective definition of "important".
Rolling release distributions work fine, without any issues. Stable, fixed release distributions works fine without any issues. You are asking for something between which has the worst of both sides without the benefits of each.
Chances are that using either of those wouldn't even affect you, but you have a weird misconception about it and you think it will somehow affect you.

My server is set to give clients dns options, and I included opendns, Google and my home dns server just to be safe.

You can use a well done GTK and appropriate window manager themes. I don't know if there's a Qt style which looks like one of the Windowses.

Asking this again:

How the hell do I use this gtk filepicker patch?!

I've been using scp to transfer files between computers in my LAN. Is there something "simpler"? I don't really need the encryption scp offers, but I like its ease of use (can copy recursively and retain file attributes and permissions).

>>55392882

Depending on your distribution and your use case it might be futile.

If you only want it to get an icon view for Firefox uploads, it won't work if your distribution ships the GTK3 version of Firefox.

Are you going to rewrite all of the programs in Qt that you're using?
Also, the Qt file picker is even worse. Look it up on the internet. The good file dialog you're thinking of is KDE's.

>>55392941

In that case you can build Firefox yourself with GTK2 instead of GTK3 and then also install the patched GTK2 (which has the icon view).

>>55396001
Should work unless the software detects it's in a VM and refuses to work, but unlikely for a game to care about that.

>>55395406
on the topic of VGA passthrough, is it possible with only one GPU?
like, could i do it if i closed X and unloaded the video driver module before running the VM? (doing so would still be more convenient than restarting to run solidworks for me)

as a side note, does anyone use hibernation? I'm currently using hibernation with windows to get in and out of it quicker, but i can't get hibernation to work in linux
i've set up a large swap partition, set the 'resume' kernel parameter, and added the 'resume' hook in my mkinitcpio.conf

How can I read the text which flashes up on tty while resuming from sleep? Sometimes when resuming from sleep my internet connection fails to connect until reboot, and when this occurs I see some text on a black screen after resuming for half a second before all my GUI windows and shit appears.

Hoping I can find the issue for it not reconnecting in that text

yeah, sure, let's go with that if it makes you happy.

Do you know how to allow for non-alphanumeric characters in the hostname?

manjaro has three different branches
stable testing and unstable
unstable branch syncs 24h with arch
testing is where packages are holded for testing
however, not all are tested, mostly the core packages
if they've been shown to have no issues, the go to stable

I'll try and be more civil in my response, unlike the above anons. This is 'friendly' GNU/Linux thread after all.

>I have a thinkpad I'm ready to boot it on

OK, but you need to make sure your Thinkpad is compatible with the linux-libre kernel. If it's anything from the past 5~ years, it mostly likely won't work without installing binary blobs for either GPU or CPU. So, unless you bought a T400, X60 or T62 or something along those lines, you're going to have issues booting.

>I've installed arch before and I know the basics of compiling, would I be fine?

Sure, Parabola isn't much different from Arch. The main difference is that they incorporate libre packages only, and thus is more free. But like I said above, hardware compatibility is an issue in many cases.

>I apologize I've never written a line of code in my life so sorry for the dumb question.

Any language will work on any computer, given that you have the proper utilities. C can be compiled on Linux with the gcc, python can be interpreted with the python interpreter, etc.
