Boot with UEFI or BIOS for a ZFS root?
BIOS with GRUB seems simpler but I wouldn't mind getting rid of it.

Reposting.

Whenever I apply arc theme to XFCE, my controls in the applet get fucked up. The sliders are gone, and in the wifi menu in particular, things no longer highlight on mouseover. Instead, it just looks like a list with icons you click on, and it looks like shit.

Anybody ever experienced a problem with this? I've used arc + xfce on a xubuntu machine in the past, but debian testing just fights me at every corner.

by the way I don't mean the icons for wifi. Some retard thought he was being snarky by calling me out on my icon theme as the problem, but I can assure you that is NOT the issue.

Its a shitty theme. Edit it yourself to fix it.

>>56109891
It seems like you have a broken GTK+3 theme. They deprecated some stuff in the theming engine in the same major version (absolutely unacceptable), which broke many themes. Try different themes or see if there is an updated version of your current one.

>The vulnerability makes it possible for anyone with an Internet connection to determine whether any two parties are communicating over a long-lived transport control protocol connection, such as those that serve Web mail, news feeds, or direct messages. In the event the connections aren't encrypted, attackers can then inject malicious code or content into the traffic.

Whenever my computer goes to sleep, or I press "lock screen" it shits the bed and I have to reboot it.

Do:

echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state

that directly sends a suspend to ram command to kernel skipping your DE, if it still poops itself then you know it's not your xfce4 but down to how your kernel and hardware interacts with each other

So, I got curious and tried running

So I installed gnome-screensaver and tried running

 gnome-screensaver-command -l 

and same thing.

Stable packages are moved to RHEL while Fedora gets new packages to test for RHEL

I'm running it as my main OS right now and I never had a single problem.
It even recognized that fucking wacom digitizer out of the box, which really surprised me.

I wonder how most open-source developers make their livelihood.

If I were rich, I would feel absolutely fine with working for free. I wouldn't need money anymore, so I just work toward the utopia of free-software to enrich the lives of my fellow man.

However, if you're still wage-slaving life and spend all of your free time working for free, you're a cuck. This is time you could've been developing closed-source pay software that could free you from the wage-slave life.

Is the init war truly over? Has systemd become as much an inherent part of Linux as the kernel itself and the GNU coreutils? Are systemd-free distros an irrelevant deadend fringe in 2016 and beyond?

>"RHEL's test subject" how does that sound?
Highly subjective and relative.

>Stable packages are moved to RHEL while Fedora gets new packages to test for RHEL
And? People are using the latest released versions of programs on Windows and Mac OS and those are considered stable with no one complaining. How does running the latest released (from upstream) version on Linux make it unstable?

I've decided to switch to MATE in place of xfce because I just think it does everything xfce can do but much better. I'm having a small issue with system colors though. It doesn't seem to be registering the theme default colors. The colors all work fine and set themselves, but for one reason or the other, wants no business with detecting them. I can easily set them myself, although unlike on my archtop with MATE, I have to logout and log in to see changes. I also can't be specific with the color, because the dialog isn't the same.

I imagine I'm just missing a few packages or something. Anyone know what it is?

Stupid question here.

I've been using Void linux and for some reason can't get lightdm to work. I installed the lightdm and lightdm-gtk3-greeter package and symlinked the services(dbus and lightdm) so Runit should start them at boot, but for some reason lightdm is never started.

Doing `sv status dbus` yields the following:

run: dbus: (pid 557) 163s

Doing `sv status lightdm` yields the following:

down: lightdm: 1s, normally up, want up

Manually starting the lightdm service doesn't seem to help either.

Anybody got any clue as to what I'm doing wrong here?

- Everyone has his own opinio on gaps, don't force yours on others.

They're all really lightweight though. You can always just run Debian with XFCE/LxDE/LxQT or even Cinnamon if you want to, too.

I recommend XUbuntu for a beginner regardless. There's also Linux Lite, which is obviously lightweight, but I didn't like it much. Try it out if you want.

1. They do it for fun/ego.
2. If you're on salary (as many programmers are), working more won't get you more money.
3. Most programmers are pretty well paid and don't really have ambitions to develop their own product. It's more comfy that way.

>>56114624
Probably because it's redundant when XUbuntu exists.

It's marketed as light and easy to use/for beginners, but it's only slightly lighter than XUbuntu while losing user-friendliness. It's got some handy tools to install popular software and drivers and all that, but then so does XUbuntu.
If for some reason you wanted XUbuntu but didn't *actually* want XUbuntu, I'd recommend that.

Redshift stopped working for no reason. I even tried using f.lux for Ubuntu which worked until it stopped. WTF? How could something just stop working like that? I don't even know how this shit works. Can someone make this easier to get?

Why wouldn't he, you racist cunt? If this is how you think you will get some shocks in China, or anywhere else.

>>56115132
I don't even know how to make a grub config.
During the installation, fedora took over the whole process, and now I'm just following these steps here:
http://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-fix-operating-system-boot-problems
starting at the grub2 section
grub-install succeeds with warnings and after the reboot I'm thrown to the grub commandline.

Does anyone know a way to repair this out of the top of their heads? Otherwise I'll reinstall everything now.

>>56115237
A command line where you cn log in? You could try startx or reconfigure your display manager from there. If you can log in then grub is fine.

>>56115331
Please avoid using the term “photoshop” as a verb, meaning any kind of photo manipulation or image editing in general. Photoshop is just the name of one particular image editing program, which should be avoided since it is proprietary. There are plenty of free programs for editing images, such as the GIMP.

>>56115373
> such as the gimp

Is this GNU's attempt at meme marketing? Hey guys, our image manipulation project is a sex slave for some horny hillbillies in Los Angeles!

I yanked my windows hard drive and install ubuntu 16.04 on a second hard drive. Now I plugged my windows drive in and want grub to see my windows drive so it offers me the boot menu every time with both operating systems as options.

How do I do this with current grub? Just using the grub update command did not do it.

I've installed 3 different kernels for testing. How can I list the included moduls for each kernel? lsmod only returns currently available modules.

>>56115345
I found the problem.
The gparted manual said that if I don't know wether I have a seperate /boot partition then I usually don't.
That's a lie if I've ever seen one. From there on fixing the rest was a breeze.
My file system is still at the original 30GB though, so all of this seems like a colossal waste of time. Do I have to mount those 30 additional GB I added to the partition first?

>>56116322
What was the original issue?
Filesystem?

>>56116366
see my first post and the following ones here:
>>56114613

tl;dr: my 30GB OS partition was getting too small, so I increased its size.
I had to move the partition a bit though, so grub got fucked.
Now grub is unfucked, the partition is the size I want and it shows as such in gparted.

The filesystem doesn't care though, yet and I don't know what to do here.

What is wrong with my laptop and web browsers? Whenever I use Chrome/Chromium or Firefox/Firefox alternative, it consumes like 1.2GB of memory with just 4chan and YouTube open. Meanwhile I see screenshot threads of people using same browser with 8 tabs open, and their entire system usage isn't even 1.2GB.

Are there any lightweight browsers that actually support flash sites like pornsites, Beam, WorldStar, etc.? Whenever I try these lightweight browsers and try to play a video on 90% of websites, it brings up a download prompt instead of playing them. I've enabled javascript, installed ___flash, etc.

edora does have a clear policy about what can be included in the distribution, and it seems to be followed carefully. The policy requires that most software and all fonts be available under a free license, but makes an exception for certain kinds of nonfree firmware. Unfortunately, the decision to allow that firmware in the policy keeps Fedora from meeting the free system distribution guidelines.

I whole-heartedly agree, but allow me to play devils advocate for a moment. For all intents and purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a dime-a-dozen, true virtues are a blessing in disguise. We often put our false morality on a pedastal like a bunch of prima donnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granted. So I ask of you to muster up all the strength you can because it is a dog eat dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge chip on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw in everything but the kitchen sink, and even though you are having a field day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sixth sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blind eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero tolerance when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around goes around, and when supply and demand fails, you will be the first to go. Mark my words, when you get down to brass tacks, it doesn't take rocket science to kill two birds with one stone. It's clear who wears the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through trial and error but I swear on my mother's maiden name that when you put the pedal to the metal you will pass with flying colours like it's a piece of cake.

stallman is not a philosophically pure person. he follows his ideals when convenient, and ignores them or slightly alters them when the conflict isn't worth it.

stallman is an egoist in denial, afraid of admitting that he just wants some fucking source code instead of a world where he has to rely on other people because he knows he wouldn't get it that way.

his system has some practical merits but his attempts at creating moral justifications are completely pathetic and nonsensical. how low do you have to be to have to make up bullshit "oughts" when you can just say "it would be fucking better"?

but if your usb flash drive is /dev/sdc, something like

If it is a hybrid image, lsblk should show two partitions on sdc, I think. You can mount it if you want, to see there are files on there.

Been pushing off installing linux on my desktop because I can't direct connect to a router in my current living situation, and my only option for wifi is a netgear usb dongle that isn't supported on windows. I decided to say fuck it and dualboot Xubuntu today, and just decided I'd compile the reverse engineered drivers from source and transfer all downloaded files over via flash drive.

Well it turns out that this dongle saves wifi information that's configured on windows to some sort of hard drive, so every network I connected to on Windows can still be connected to on Linux. I didn't have to do anything; it just worked. Linux is a dream come true, shit.

Tricky question, is there any way to force dialogs to open as independent windows?

Why is /g/entoo a meme here? It's legitimately one of the best distributions.

Hi /fglt/,
The other day I posted here looking for a way to stream my music from my 1st PC (laptop, running GNU/Linux) to my other PC (also running GNU/Linux), and play that music on the 2nd PC.
Someone recommended MPD, and I installed and configured it, only then to discover that it's not what I was looking for.
http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/What_MPD_Is_and_Is_Not
>MPD Is Not:
> A server that serves music to clients, clients are just remote controls.
And that's what I'm looking for; a server that serves music.
Any ideas?

many drawing tablets are well-supported directly by linux (as usual, ensure support before buying if you intend to use one in linux)
also check out Krita (drawing software)

My address bar is set to search through Google, but sometimes if I only use a single keyword, it will try to go to a website (like pies.org). Is there a setting I can change so it never does this? It's so weird.

I guess the other solution is just never use the address bar for that, it's more of a habit than anything.
