Anyone have any recommendations on this?

Nethogs isn't what I'm looking for since that seems to show how much bandwidth each process uses, but I'm looking for a monitor of each connection's bandwidth, restricted to only one process.

Windows' Resource Monitor actually manages to do this, so surely there's a linux tool that can handle the job.

Hello and thank you for a more SFW image.

I am curious as to how to enable html5 in a firefox browser on linux.

I googled "html 5 linux" and all I can seem to find it tricks and leet hacks to enable it.

Is it not available on linux natively yet?

Is there a way to send a signal that shutdown sends, but not actually shut it down? Just get to the basic login but kill all services etc
I need to unmount of drives and maintence them.

>>55591950
unmount which drives?

If it's your / drive then do maintenance from a live CD.

Otherwise shutdown just sends SIGTERM to all processes, then SIGKILL a few seconds later. If you have a system with init you could switch to runlevel 1 (

sudo init 1

I believe), but if the drive ISN'T your / drive then you shouldn't even need to go that far to unmount it.

>>55591995
extra data drives, /home, /srv
They are slow as fuck(1mb/s) so i need to defrag(showing 50-85% fragmentation) and repair them(xfs)
I have programs and services that are run on those mount points that i use in the xsession,and i cant seem to keep them killed loging out back to getty

Just use a live CD, it's usually the easiest/safest for drive maintenance.

Maybe a good moment to start shell scripting?
You could read out the current value and add or substact 1 to it.

On the other hand, xbacklight handles brightness much better than xrandr. You should try to get it work somehow.

If you do, reset the colors after via --gamma 1:1:1.

Is there an elegant way to split a container in i3 into tabbed layout?

bindsym $mod+o split v; layout tabbed

I haven't found a single command that does this in the i3 user guide.

>>55593932

>>55593932
As you get more experience you'll find a distro you want to use and don't have to ask.

>>55594350
$mod+w

If you want to split the tab vertically then $mod+v afterward.

The answer seems too simple so I might have misunderstood the question.

Imagine if I had a container with two windows opened and if I wanted to create a container in place of one of those windows with a tabbed layout. If I pressed $mod+w, it would just change the layout of the parent container to tabbed. I don't want that.

thanks, thats seems to be

i run that command , and did

and nothing come up. but i have it installed.

what do?

I just formatted a external HDD with ext4 (and LUKS encryption).
Now I couldn't write anything to it. So I changed the write/read permissions of the mounted (mounted it by entering the password on the GUI) to everybody as root, recursively for everything that already was on the disk.
> drwxr-xrwx 3 root root 4096 Jul 15 15:08 externalHDD
Was this the right thing to do?

When I plug it into another Linux system somewhere, will I be able to directly access it with read/write privileges now too?

And why are there missing some GB of free spaced (df -h for that external HDD):
> /dev/dm-3 917G 72M 871G 1%

What is this deal with the AMD drivers and the incompatibility with all the distros that is going on right now?

I just installed Ubuntu and tried to run steam, and I have been having so many issues I just gave up.

>>55594777
I can't change it as user. It's mounted in /media/USERNAME/externalHDD

>1024 vs 1000 bit
It's a 1TB HDD, so 917GB should be the real GiB value. I don't think df mixes up GB and GiB in the same line.

>>55594840
sudo chown -R USERNAME /media/USERNAME/externalHDD

Also read about reserved blocks on the mkfs.ext4 and tune2fs man pages. Although it's usually set to 5% by default.

Thank you. And now it will also work on other Linux PCs (with other usernames) when I take the HDD somewhere else without having root there?

>>55594873
>You are giving it the mount point, you can call ti what ever you want
Yes, but usually I just plug it in and enter the password via the GUI so the it gets mounted in this folder automatically.

Install TLP, what distro are you using? TLP is the best manager I've found, use it on my arch laptop. Different distros use different things I think, arch doesn't start off with one but TLP works great and is easily configurable with /etc/default/tlp file.
enable service with systemctl enable tlp
then do systemctl start tlp

Invariably as soon as I ask, I will figure this question out for myself, so I'm going to ask --

On one of my Debian machines (Openbox), MOC "scales" to fit the terminal window (terminator) when I stretch it. On the other it doesn't. I can't figure out why and I don't even know what search terms to use to try and figure it out myself.

I will post the solution if I figure it out in the meantime but am asking for suggestions.

>>55596225
>>55596262
Both Korora and Linux Lite sound like good out-of-the-box and "it just werks" distros.

>>55596321
You seem to be using a terminal with poor support for ncurses.

Of course, it could be that your other terminal is xterm and somehow you added something weird to your .Xresources, but that seems highly unlikely.

>>55596341
Both are Terminator, but one is whatever version Debian Stable is using, the other is Testing+Updates (which is the one that works oddly). To be honest I'm not sure how to check versioning.

I don't think it's an ncurses-application-specific problem since alsamixer, for instance, "scales" fine on both systems (thanks for the suggestion to check).

Maybe it's actually MOC but I don't understand why.

>>55596421
>which is the one that works oddly
I said that wrong. I meant the Debian Testing+Updates machine is the one that exhibits the strange non-scaling behavior.

>>55596262
Looks nothing like windows though.

>>55596486
Is all that I recall from Windows though, buttons for everything.

I fucked up somehow and now the color of the box my pointer makes when I click and drag on the desktop is white, and selected icons turn black. Does anyone know where I should go to fix this?

>>55596517
How the fuck else do you select things?

>>55596533
lol get with the times grandpa

>>55596533
In Windows, you don't really have many choices to select things.

>>55596533
Wait, are you coming from Windows? So you know nothing about the command line, and how you can tweak every detail by editing config files?

Need some help with SSH and key authentication on ubuntu. I created a new user and added to sudo group. I did all the key shenaningans and it works perfectly. However, if i add the line "PasswordAuthentication no" to sshd_config, it no longer works. All i get is "Permission denied (publickey)". The password is correct because if i type the wrong one, it prompts me to type it again. Also i have the exact same setup on another server which works.

So why does that line alone cause permission denied? So confusing....

>>55596421
running xterm instead of terminator gives me the same behavior in the "bad" system as terminator, for what that's worth

dist-upgrade did nothing, but I'm not surprised since none of the packages seemed to have anything to do with moc or ncurses or terminator

I ran Synaptic to look at the versioning (there's probably an easy CL option I just don't know it) and the MOC version IS different between the two -- 1:2.5.0-1 vs 1:2.6.0-svn-r2848-1

For Debian I imagine you can just clone the git repo and follow the usual build instructions if there's no package for it.

The best course of action would probably be:

>install from repo so dependencies are installed
>uninstall but leave dependencies
>build from git

If it still doesn't work then you might need to manually update any dependencies that are too far behind, but at least it should tell you which ones are problematic.

Alright, thanks guys. I'm headed to bed now but I'll try it in the morning

I'm on Debian Testing so the repo version is probably not going to be too far behind, but we'll see how it goes

Pretty hyped because I just set up my Dualshock 4 with ds4drv and it works great

Can anyone help me get eth0 working on gentoo? I have a realtek rtl8101 ethernet controller. I installed the driver tarball from realteks website and lspci -k shows the module under my nic. Modprobe loads the module, but /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start gives an error of eth0 does not exist.
In my arch install lsmod gives the mii.o module as being for eth0, but I cant find any media independent interface options in /usr/src/linux/.config except for specific phy modules. I dont know where to go from here.

one that is not "based on"

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with a ClearOS install. I've tried it out on one machine with the same hardware excepting the motherboard and onboard NIC.

I can't get the NIC on the mobo I actually want to use for my server to work during the initialisation process.

The NIC is intel ethernet i217-v (rev 4).

It shows up if I ask terminal to print my hardware tagged with ethernet but otherwise shows as not connected.

Any ideas?

Anyone have experience with Iodine?

got the thing working, but stuck in creating an ssh tunnel.

using identity files only, so not sure what arguments to pass with the virutal interface iodine makes

>>55599819
thanks!

>>55599515
Anyway, I think you're probably missing some video driver packages. And that the xfconf thing is separate issue. Did you install from netinstall and build up from there without selecting a desktop in tasksel? Probably missing packages. Maybe use tasksel to install whole debian DE and remove what you don't need instead of starting with very little and building up from there when ur not sure what you do need.

>>55599923
I'm kind of new to linux, and I just brought my new PC. I installed debian jessie with XFCE on it thought the live usb, and initially sound and graphics werem't working. I couldn't watch videos except HTML5 in the browser. So I added jessie-backports to my sources.list and that automatically upgraded my kernel to 4.6 and solved most issues except this. i'm not entirely sure my PC and internal graphics are supported yet (Pentium G4400) so I'm holding back on the reinstall.

>>55599989
okay.
what is output of

lspci

?

>>55600051
Also, when you were using the live cd, in the live environment, did the sound and graphics work then? Or did you go straight to installation? If you did go straight to installation, can you boot up the live environment and check?

>>55600065
>Also, when you were using the live cd, in the live environment, did the sound and graphics work then?

No, they did not and still does not. I just checked.

Also, if it's a clue, when I boot my system, the initial lines of code with those [ OK } indicators in green runs at a lower resolution.

Video acceleration isn't working, what am I doing wrong?

>>55600573
yes. This is what aptitude shows:

i   A   xserver-xorg-video-fbdev     1:0.4.4-1+b2   1:0.4.4-1+b2
i        xserver-xorg-video-intel       2:2.99.917+git     2:2.99.917+git

>>55600664
Looks like you don't have the driver it is looking for.

Every time I turn on kate I get a minute or so later that kactivitymanagerd has stopped working. And then everything continues smoothly, no bugs, no errors, nothing, just that one criptic message and that's all.

Should I be worried? I wasn't like that some time ago. I'm using xubuntu 15.06.

Do I have to do something weird to get Vim to support unicode characters? I'm running it out of urxvt, I assumed that'd be all that needs to be done. If I put unicode into urxvt it shows up fine, but when I go into vim and put the same character it shows up as a box.

>>55598266
Ip link doesnt show it. I'm not using predictable naming. I checked dmesg and found a line that said:
r8101 0000:03:00:2 region #1 not a MMIO resource, aborting
Google yields nothing useful about what this means, but it seems to be aborting my ethernet driver for some reason.

Dumb question but how do people actually install an operating system on a purely headless server?

The concept has blown my mind for too long now

>>55604550
Either they plug a monitor in for installation, or the headless server is a VM and they can use VNC or the virtualization manager's console to see what they're doing.

Then once it's installed just ssh for days.

So after doing some reading I see you just can't have cross-compilation support enabling multiarch.

>>55605040
>Realistically, I think it'll only happen if Google decides to make their own distro, but what do you think?
no. Google have no point on being involved with linux. They would help for free linux desktop and would have to compete with them in the end. They will only make chrome OS and will keep it closed as much as possible, like they are doing with android.

>When will GNU/Linux overtake Windows on the desktop? Realistically.
Realistically ? probably never. I don't think linux will have a bigger market share before years. And then we can't know how the desktop will evolve.
What we might see is linux becoming bigger like ~10% of the market share, I think it can go till 25% but more is an utopia.
in 2016 we're seeing a lot of changes, in 2017 I think most technologies will be in a final stage (vulkan games will start to appear, drivers catch up the windows drivers for the recent GPUs, wayland will be widely adopted, steam OS beta will be over and officially released...).
in 2018 we should have between 5 - 10% market share and in 2020 we can reach 15% for the best scenario possible. For the worse, we should be at 5% in 2020.

For me the few things that can help the linux destkop is :
>government start to use it everywhere instead of windows
>schools use linux instead of windows (elementary school, middle school and high school, then dual boot on universities)
>valve finally decide to make their own hardware and sell a good steam machine (with exclusive titles)
>A manufacturer finally make desktops / laptops with linux installed and advertise it

it didn't rustle the fist time you said it, now it does. hake him learn to use i3 before he can do anything on his computer again. the next day install another obscure keyboard driven WM, then remove X. he can go back to normal once he did a stage 3 gentoo install.

>>55605256
>>55605328
>>55605312
just curious, what's so wrong about using online converter websites? are you just horrified by the inefficiency or are they full of malware or what? and i mean if he's running linux he should be safe from the latter right?

>>55605378
it's his sheer stupidity that annoys me, if someone even set up a youtube-dl script (prolly just an alias for --extract-audio --audio-format or open with i guess) this would make way more sense than those sites.

Both and not necessarily.

>>55605482

I have no discrete graphics, what do I add to grubs "setparams"? I'm there now

>>55607445
Tried adding nomodeset to grub, just hangs on a black screen

what Debian-based OS can run on only 512mb of ram?

>>55607758
All of them. Unity in desktop Ubuntu is the only thing that might cause trouble in that case.

Why does it specifically need to be Debian-based?

>>55607822
Running basic server, heard it was the greatest for that sort of thing

>>55608059
Sticking with Debian Stable should be a safe bet in that case.

404'd

rip /f(g)lt/

Which archive managers do you guys suggest?

>>55608183
Use this instead: >>55608245

>>55608224
tar

>>55608267
Something with a GUI and wide file type support. Good CLI options are always a bonus, though.

>>55608224
atool

I'm writing a program that use a CLI program. I would like to take the output of it, but my code doesn't work. Any idea why ?

    int fd[2];
    pid_t child;

    child = fork();
    if(child == -1) {
        perror("fork error");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    if(child == 0) {
        dup2(1, fd[1]);

        execvp(list_args[0], list_args);
    }
    else {

    }
