/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

Looking for a distro that is light, dont need much complicated things to do on a daily basis. I used mate. I kinda like idea of arch being up to date all the time but i have no clue what graphical environment i should get that would be suitable.

Still looking for help.... I updated my Linux. Now, whenever I run anything, I get segfaults.

WTF do I do now? :(

>>56376019
Up to date is a very subjective term.
Debian unstable is nice.
DEs and WMs are also very subjective, I would suggest you to try a few before deciding.

Is it possible to make a setup like pic related?

I think i should make a lvm and then encrypt it but according to the arch wiki with the "LVM on LUKS method" i can't use multiple disks and with the "LUKS on LVM" method i need a single password for every volume.

>>56376045
install gentoo

>>56376129
I would just like to interject for one moment. The operating system you are suggesting for me to install, and rather commandingly might I add, will in fact, not directly solve my current problem at hand, and will actually cause me to ask further questions about the difficult process involved in installing it. Gentoo is a very nice operating system itself, but I'd rather you directly assist me in my quest to solve my current predicament.

I understand that many computer users run the Gentoo Linux operating system, and I realize they may enjoy it greatly and are not currently experiencing the current problem that I have whilst using my non-Gentoo operating system. Through a peculiar turn of events, I have noticed an enormous amount of users make the "Install Gentoo" suggestion, but many of its users are not aware that this suggestion, in most cases, is actually not an "easy-fix" to every single computer-related error.

There really are reasons for installing Gentoo, and there are people using it, but it is just for the few users who choose to compile their own source code locally according to their chosen configuration. Gentoo is just another operating system: the problems I am experiencing will not undeviatingly be solved if I make the choice to install it. All these so-called "Install Gentoo" suggestions I am noticing should cease immediately.

>>56376069
I like minimalistic aspect od WM but i think DE would be needed to make my work more convinient. I would stay with mint mate but its far from being up to date and everyone glorify arch.

>>56376176
Who the hell glorifies arch?
My usage is most convenient with dwm, but it really depends on your workflow and preferences.

>>56376176
Mint has serious problems.

And Arch being lightweight is a meme, it's repo is actually more bloated with source headers and the kernel comes with all modules enabled. I'd suggest a Debian netinstall and upgrade to Sid.

when will there be an openbox equivalent for wayland?

>>56376285
People confuse "simple" with "lightweight", that's all.

>>56376354

>>56376441
Didn't say it's bad, I just said it isn't lightweight.

>>56376460

Boot in to a new different kernel. You were already told this.
List what you updated.

I've been trying to do a basic wget command to download all images from a booru, with a recursive level of 3. (/posts, /post, /imagedata). Nothing I've tried seems to work. Seriously. Can someone help?

I just want it to be a simple command -- if it can't be a simple command, just tell me that, please.

>>56376609
This has nothing to do with that. People on /g/ constantly pretend arch is lightweight when it really isn't. People spouting misinformation are the worst.

>>56376651
DE/WM doesn't care about programs you run. You can basically run a program without and window manager, just by using an X display.

>>56376651
Of course. If you need floating just make that program float by default in config.h or switch to floating mode before opening it.

>>56376609
Do you know why Arch users always have a low package count? It's because development headers, source code and everything is included in one big package.

>>56376675
What command exactly did you try?
You want to learn right? There is no point in just giving you a ready command if you want to learn so please provide more info.

>>56376736
And libraries are Included in packages instead of being packages themselves.

>>56376736
on debian we have -dev packages for that, got a lot of these, current pkg count is about 2k

>>56376747
I've looked at arguments. I've tried over 20 iterations of arguments.

-D[boorudomain] as one, -e robots=off or whatever, -r -l 3 (which is the depth i think i need? though it tries to connect to tumblr sources; i cant figure out how to filter to only a specific subdomain [such as /data/])
i have to use --no-check-certificate, for some reason, but yeah

I mean...
I think -k converts filetypes?
I accidentally left a script going but there's no .png, .jpg, etc. All blank filenames, with this script:

-r -l 3 --no-check-certificate http://[booru].net

also

wget -H -D[booru].net -e robots=off -r -I /data/ -l 2 -A jpeg,j
pg,bmp,gif,png --no-check-certificate http://[booru].net/post/

Note: [booru] is replaced with my booru of choice which i will not reveal, but it's probably fairly obvious why

>>56376736
>source code
No, for fuck's sake.

>development headers
What a concept, including the dev headers for a fucking library like the fucking source package installs instead of splitting that shit off and inflating the package count.

>>56376763
Wrong.

Seriously, the hell are you people smoking? Learn2GNU, Debian isn't the fucking be-all, end-all of GNU. apt is a buggy, slow mess and it always has to fuck with upstream just to get it all working.

>>56376851
Never had a bug in aptitude using sid.
I would rather inflate package count than package content.
Of course debian is not perfect, but is sure is not any less perfect than arch.

Hey guys, I'm looking for something like Subgraph OS, but for a 32-bit machine. Any recommendations? Alternatively, settings/packages for a Ubuntu machine to make it better for privacy and anonymity would also work.

Hello. I got Gentoo running on an old machine, and wanted to install LXDE, I merged the lxde-meta package and put 'exec lxde' into ~/.xinitrc but whenever I use startx it says it can't find LXDE. Did I do something wrong? Xorg works fine without the 'exec lxde' in the file

>Boot in to a new different kernel. You were already told this.
That didn't do shit! Every kernel I booted to from Grub was giving me same errors.

You know what it was? It was a fucking icon theme that I installed.

A FUCKING ICON THEME WAS CAUSING SEGFAULTS OF THE WHOLE OS!

After I removed cursors and fucked around with

sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

I was able to restart and start launching gnome apps.

Linux is a fucking joke. It's EXTREMELY BRITTLE. A fucking icon set can cause the whole WM to segfault! Fucking insane.

Anyway, I need to find a better distro or maybe change up and install FreeBSD or something else that doesn't crash over a fucking cursor.


I've had so many issues with Linux, it's not even funny. Susyemd can't even launch reliably a service after every boot! I installed dnscrypt and Systemd manages to launch it maybe once out of every 5 times I boot. I have to manually start it other times. And there's no errors with it whatsoever either. Systemd is just retarded like that.

Ugh.

What a fucking mess and what a time sink :(

>>56378188
assuming you have an xorg config in place, did you try unloading any open source modules or checking if they're running (iirc, it'd called nouveau?)?

>found your problem
You guys always shift the blame around. If you're using Ubuntu/Debiant, it's their fault and you should have installed Arch. If you're using Arch, it's Arch's fault you should have installed Gentoo. If there's a problem with Gentoo, you should have installed Slack. If ther'es a problem with Slack, you should have installed Fedora and if there's a problem with Fedora, you should have installed Ubuntu. And the circle continues.

Problem is a lot deeper than that. X11 is just so fucking brittle.

No matter what distro you use, you'll have tons of weird issues that you'll have to waste hours on.

I need a POSIX system so I'm stuck with this shit. Wish I had cash for a Mac. I'm now thinking about Win10 and Ubuntu sublayer but that's a giant piece of shit and not even networking works.

So I guess I'm stuck with this shit for now and won't touch any of the settings or themes because I might lose everything.

>>56378272
arch-schoolboys

I need a recommendation on what distro I should use. I browse the internet a lot, play some light games such as Minecraft, and looking to start getting into Java programming. It should also be easy to dual boot with.

Which distro should I use? I'm currently on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016. I have a bit of experience with GNU/Linux, but haven't ever fully went balls deep to use it. Thanks.

>>56378373
There could be a lot of things, for example wrong permissions on icon files, so Chrome couldn't read'em. To blame whole community of developers from kernel to icon themes because you can't tune it doesn't look smart either, lad.

>>56378399
Mint or Manjaro.

>>56378399

Every distribution will work equally for you.
None of your requirements are related to a distribution's specific attributes.

That applies to 97% of all the posts like yours.

>>56378457
Shite or urine.

>>56378430
>There could be a lot of things, for example wrong permissions on icon files, so Chrome couldn't read'em.
Permissions were correct, 755. And issue was not only Chromium but every Gnome application that I tried.

Aside from systemd not starting services, I've also had weird issues of my network stack just disappearing. My ethernet and wireless just doesn't show up and only loopback adapter is present. No matter what I do, I can't bring those back. Only a reboot fixes it.

Everything is just very brittle and unreliable. :(

I don't know where to ask this.

What's the fastest way to blank a line in vi/vim?
Currently I'm doing "dd" to delete the line and then "o escape" to insert an empty line and go into normal mode. Is there something which would blank the whole line with just one combo? Is there a built in, proper solution or do I have to create a simple function?

>>56378515

ps: vimtutor you need it.

Look man, this isn't a joke or a meme. Debian is a terrible distro for desktop users.

>>56378224
Please go to BSD so we don't have to listen to your moaning.
I've been using linux for many years and I've never had, or ever heard of, a breakage like you had from an icon set. You did something fucked up to cause that or the icon theme you installed was horrifically incomplete. Brittle? A program goes to find something it relies and and doesn't find it or there is corruption in it, program segfaults. Sounds like common sense to me.

>>56378789
>or ever heard of, a breakage like you had from an icon set. You did something fucked up to cause that or the icon theme you installed was horrifically incomplete.

>>56378923
It's not corrupted you retard. Issue was with priority. You don't know anything. Stay out of conversations you can't back up with facts.

And I fucking guarantee you that Win/Mac would not segfault every application even if you managed to somehow corrupt the cursor. Cursor is not handled on the app level you stupid dolt.

>Now fuck off to Win or OSX, please.
Make me.

>>56378970
This is the friendly GNU/Linux thread, please be nice :(

>>56378544

That works if my cursor is at the beginning of the line. I was hoping there would be something which can do it from wherever I am on the line.
I guess I'll have to settle with 0D then.

>>56378970
It happened for a reason anon, it's not magic. If a program relies on something and that something is broken or corrupt then it won't work, this is common sense. Windows and Mac use a different system regarding shared libraries so it makes little sense to compare, but the principle is the same, if something relied upon is corrupt then it won't work.

>>56378852
It's actually possible on Windows, where hacking the system DLLs is the only way to implement themes. If it corrupts, well, good fucking luck finding the original DLL, you can't "uninstall" the theme (unless you use ThemeResourceChanger, but that's another history)

tl;dr Mint devs blacklist packages, including security ones regularly. It's a hacky unprofessional mess at the whim of pretty much a single individual. Use either Debian or Ubuntu instead.

>>56379508

> while they import packages from Ubuntu or Debian, they hi-jack package and binary names by re-using existing names. For example, they called their fork of gdm2 "mdm" which supposedly means "Mint Display Manager". However, the problem is that there already is a package "mdm" in Debian which are "Utilities for single-host parallel shell scripting". Thus, on Mint, the original "mdm" package cannot be installed

>Until pacman version 4.0.0[21] Arch Linux's package manager lacked support for signed packages.[22] Packages and metadata were not verified for authenticity by pacman during the download-install process.

If you want a crappy method that I may or may not use, use LVM on LUKS on the first drive, then another with just LUKS on the sdb. The second will be opened by a key-file. In crypttab it will list the entry with the path to the file.

It will go something like
- Enter password, LUKS on sda opened and filesystems mounted
- In cryptsetup it will try to open the sdb with the pass file provided
- It will work and will be mounted according to fstab

Exactly one password is needed.

This is what >>56379885 said.

Obviously not the most secure method.

I'm considering upgrading from Mint but one of the things I really like about it is VPN setup. I need this for work and it must be easy to switch on and off. I also must be able to easily import ovpn file that my company's IT staff gives me.

See pic to see how easy it is to do in Mint.

Can I do something as simple in Arch?

I cant seem to rm a folder it keeps popping back up. How do I delete this or find out what keeps recreating it?

I advise you to use a single password-encrypted keyfile to encrypt both of your drives. You can add this keyfile and a program needed to decrypt it in your initrd image, then decrypt both of your drives using trick like this:
cat ./your_encrypted_luks_keyfile | ccdecrypt | tee >(cryptsetup --allow-discards --key-file - luksOpen /dev/sda disk_1) | cryptsetup --key-file - luksOpen /dev/sdb disk_2
Using this method you can mount as many LUKS-encrypted volumes as you want with only one password request from system.

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.

First of all know the difference between LVM on LUKS and LUKS on LVM
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LUKS_on_LVM

You're going to setup LVM on LUKS on LVM, I think this is something not worth the effort, but anyway here you go:

Partition /dev/sda into /boot, and another partition ( /dev/sda2).
Set up LVM using /dev/sda2 + /dev/sdb
Then dm-crypt your LVM and partition it accordingly a la LVM on LUKS

>>56380541
Yes, just setup Cinnamon accordingly.

>>56381300
Try reading "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" it's a free (as in freedom and beer) to get you into kernel developing.

Hi /fglt/

I'm looking for a distro to use as a desktop daily driver. I've used Ubuntu, Mint, and a few different live cd distros before, and would like to move onto something a little more involved. What would you recommend? I'm primarily considering Debian at this point, but that's based on little-to-no research.

Thanks /g/urus

I just DL'd Mint with XFCE. If I log in under a session of openbox, are the utilities still XFCE? Could I use different utilities (file manager, terminal, etc) without causing conflicts?

Hello, dear Anons.
A 2012 Macbook Pro that I have used up to this point for school studies and pretty heavy hacking, programming and modding is starting to near a point where I'm going to have to get a new laptop (not Apple) for reasons that include university, gaming and modding, so here's my question.

> I plan to use this laptop after that point as a fully experimental Linux machine for some more lower level hacking, so what Linux distro should I install onto it?

Notes : my current thought is Arch Linux, considering it's whole sort of groundwork for further experimentation and construction vibe, and I'll be using a separate drive for when this laptop is Linux based and not OS X based.

>>56383900

>>56384026
Arch is pretty good. Actually Arch and Ubuntu are the most popular distros in /g/. Debianfags are just too noisy

>>56384044
>>56384081
So there's no truth to the Arch 'hobby OS' meme?
I mean I'm okay with fuckery around every now an again but I need it to run reliably.

>>56384044
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I'm used to a Unix sort of environment from my experiences with my laptop, and currently learning a Windows environment with my desktop.

Arch Linux really does cater to the sort of position I'm taking with Linux, that of a hacker and creator who has the time and patience to learn not just the OS but the inner workings of the Kernel itself.

> Thanks, dear Anon.

Also, note, I find Linux for gaming pc's a bit excessive, considering how resource efficient Linux distros can be, but if it weren't for DirectX I would be using Linux, probably Ubuntu, Fedora (personal friend recommendation) or Arch, on my gaming PC.
> Though the thought of doubling that gaming PC as a server is very tantalizing.

Yes, bitwig, renoise, tracktion, ardour, qtractor, muse, lmms, ingen, rosegarden, giada. Check out the kxstudio repo, you can add it to debian based distros.

Are there any decent free file hosts that allow me to upload a large file through CURL?

I've got a 1GB zipped file that I want to upload to a file host through CURL. I saw that transfer.sh is pretty good but only has temporary storage.

>>56384124
and you'd recommend not using an easy-arch distro like antergos?

>>56384226
I'll check them. Thank you.

>>56384108
Arch is a hobby OS but Debian is a literal meme shot through with old hardware issues and bugs that arent fixed.

Is it possible to extend my Linux partition to the left, I think the last time I tried that didn't end well.

>>56385998
it's possible, but it will take a long time, as it involves reading/writing the entire partition out a block at a time to the new position

considering your picture, i would recommend first resizing sda4 (presumably your target) to be as small as possible, then moving it, this way much less data needs to be moved (faster)

How to format it under linux?
When I try to run fsck.vfat I get

I tried using cfdisk to delete the partition table and write a new one, but the data remained.
And when I try using Gparted it get stalled at scanning the SD card.
