Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

streamlining so users aren't "confused" since everything is done in a very binary way.

Windows despite being the most used desktop OS ever doesn't have a lot of "neat" features that other OSes have even though Microsoft could easily implement them.
Especially features found in various Linux environments which unlike other OSes (like OS X) aren't encumbered by weird patents protected by an army of lawyers

Nothing stopped Memesoft from implementing

Seems like they changed it in gnome 3.20, it's slightly different now try this:

/* shrink headerbars */
headerbar {
min-height: 0px;
padding-left: 2px; /* same as childrens vertical margins for nicer proportions */
padding-right: 2px;
background-color: #2d2d2d;
}

headerbar entry,
headerbar spinbutton,
headerbar button,
headerbar separator {
margin-top: 0px; /* same as headerbar side padding for nicer proportions */
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

/* shrink ssd titlebars */
.default-decoration {
min-height: 0; /* let the entry and button drive the titlebar size */
padding: 0px
background-color: #2d2d2d;
}

.default-decoration .titlebutton {
min-height: 0px; /* tweak these two props to reduce button size */
min-width: 0px;
}

window.ssd headerbar.titlebar {
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;

This can of course can easily be explained by the fact that Microsoft has a de facto monopoly over the Desktop market and thus has no incentive to compete with other vendors.

but like how hard would it be to make one?
I made one long time ago in python with tkinter but it worked like shit.
in windows 10 you have that bar thing on the right that comes out when you press a shortcut like super + A, how hard would it be to make it so when you press some shortcut the same bar comes out on the right of the screen but it just has all the items you copied

I never programmed for windows, you would need to do it in C# right?

rsync: copy each file from one place to another, preserving everything (optionally, but typically), using this allows your target to be a different filesystem, for example. rsync is also good for updating an existing backup, as it will only copy data that isn't already up to date in the backup
tar: simple, well supported method of turning many files into a single file or stream, if you need to place a backup onto a non-unix filesystem like ntfs, this is one way you can do so without losing any attributes
squashfs: a compressed, read-only filesystem, commonly used with livecd's, has the advantage of being mountable with random-accessibility
>>
>>56467115
GNU isn't Unix, nor is Linux, both written from scratch. The only "UNIX" around is OS X.
>>56467124
#flt is #sqt, #flt doesn't exist.
>>
>>56467068
Clonezilla images the entire disk but I'm not sure what you want to accomplish exactly. If you want to migrate everything to another disk, Clonezilla is fine but you shouldn't use it for regular backups (daily backups for example).
>>
>>56467124
#flt is now invite only?
That's the point where we srsly should remove it from OP.
>>
>>56467134
>rsync
I see, so this is best if I have something that needs to be backed up frequently and stay updated.
But it won't be in compressed format, and the backup media file system need to be the same.
>tar
Will it preserve boot flags? and restoring is simple unpack?
>>56467139
For example if HDD is 1TB and it's used 30GB will the disk image be 1TB or 30 GB?
>>
>>56467241
It would be 30GB.
>>
>>56467271
Then clonzilla is front end for dd?
>>
What's the SWAP rule again? 1/4 of RAM?
>>
>>56467303
No, they are different things. dd literally only copies data, it's a very simple program and it can be used for regular backups, disk cloning, etc but depending on what you want to do there are better alternatives, if you want to have an easily accessible backup on an external disk, rsync is better. If you are changing computers and want to clone the entire disk, clonezilla is better.

>>56467745
So you can wipe your / if you fuck it up and not have to deal with your bootloader.
>>
>>56467745
If you have a encrypted system, you need to have boot separate so it can remain unencrypted.
>>
>>56467731
Yes, so you agree with the mount point?
>>56467745
Easier boot-loader fixing.
>>
>>56467779
No.
You can have encrypted /boot.
You can have a keyfile on say a usb drive,which then unlocks your boot loader partition,in its absence it boots to another drive/partition, or it just fails to boot
>>
>>56467776
How often do you wipe the root partition that installing the bootloader (which takes seconds) makes any difference whatsoever.

>>56467779
Correct, also RAID, but most people don't use either.

>>56467241
>this is best if I have something that needs to be backed up frequently and stay updated. But it won't be in compressed format
yes
>the backup media file system need to be the same.
no, but it does need to be a *nix one to preserve everything
>Will it preserve boot flags?
these examples backup files, not partitions or disks, boot flags and boot sectors are outside of their scope
>restoring is simple unpack?
yes

>>56467241
>>56467303
clonezilla will use dd only as a last resort (to backup filesystems it doesn't recognize), but in most cases the backup will not be any larger than the size of the /used/ space on the disk

Why not put everything on / then?
Your reasoning for not doing it outweigh your reasoning for doing it on other partitions.

/boot
/home
/
can all be on the same mount point, there is no reason for it to be on multiple partitions this decade.

Did you read the Arch Wiki article?
>>
>>56467850
A separate home partition allows for a complete reinstall without losing your data, something not necessary because you should have backups anyway but useful, however having a separate boot partition is completely useless unless you either encrypt the entire disk or use software raid, which isn't common whatsoever. Either this is a remnant from 2004 or whatever when having a separate boot partition was actually a good practice or it's from people that installed Arch and think because it says so on the wiki it's necessary. Also it doesn't make "fixing the bootloader" easier like someone said earlier, that's bullshit.
>>
>>56467963

not sure how the two correlate
you can easily reinstall your OS without deleting the contents of the home folder regardless of whether or not it's on the same volume as the rest of the OS

I read it you fucking moron. I'm saying a separate /home partition actually has some uses, others don't.

Obviously but some distros installers automatically recognize the /home partition during the installing process something useful for beginners. Not everybody uses Arch.

You're right, I should've worded it differently.

For example, during the Ubuntu installation when you reach the "Erase entire disk and install Ubuntu" step you can select "Something else" and something like this will appear, all you have to do is uncheck the format option on the /home partition. Ubuntu will do a fresh install but will keep the /home partition unchanged.

Where do I start.

In X11 if you have for example bspwm, sxkhd and lemonbar installed but you want to start using xbindkeys instead of sxkhd or tint2 instead of lemonbar, it's very easy, you just uninstall one and add the other. EWMH makes many components of the WM completely interchangeable but in Wayland there's no EWMH, the compositor controls everything and the applications are completely separated.

In Wayland tint2, lemonbar, etc can't show minimized windows for example because they can't even access the state of other windows, so you can't have interchangeable standalone bars. xbindkeys, sxkhd, etc can't set global keybindings because only the compositor can do it, so you can't have interchangeable hotkey daemons and redshift, f.lux, etc don't work because only the compositor can modify the video stream.

What this means is that the compositor is going to have to everything so instead of having one application, like redshift, that works on GNOME, KDE, Xfce and minimal WMs alike. Every fucking compositor is going to have to make their own implementation of redshift and that goes for keybindings, bars, etc. Instead of having a bloated display server you'll have bloated compositors.

>inb4 Wayland is a work in progress
The Wayland developers have very plainly said that they will not add anything resembling EWMH to Wayland.

>inb4 It's all for security purposes

Under OSX, you really do have to hold it for like 2 sec before it gets activated. They got that part right.

As for what you explained, I wish I knew where to start. I fucked around with xmodmap but don't really understand it and I don't know how to disable this key altogether.

I'd be content with just disabling they key altogether... I can always eject the DVD with a mouse.

The funny thing is that you'd be spouting this nonsense 30 years ago when X was still young. You're a luddite and I feel sorry for you. You hang on to these tiny things as a layman and you're making a big deal out of it. Not just that, but you're also most likely falsely interpreting certain technological things.

How many alternatives are there for systemd? I actually don't mind systemd but it's hard to deny it has become the de facto standard init system in Linux and everything else is shit basically.

Those are just a few and it's only the dawn of Wayland. if you think that GNOME will be the only and exclusive choice for Wayland compositors then you're a delusional idiot. Let's come back in 20 years (which is how much time X had to progress) and look at the situation then.

Systemd isn't an init system; it's a suite of system management utilities all developed under the same roof.

>Wayland will make GNOME the de facto standard DE
Alright, you're an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about. Wayland is in no way related to GNOME. That's like saying Kwin, xfwm or Openbox is the de-facto window manager for X.

Why is Mir a better solution than Wayland? Do you have any objective, technical facts to back that up or do you only like it because it's not mainstream? I'm willing to bet that you're one of those people who hate Cannonical for some ridiculous reason, but you somehow throw all of your petty opinions out of the window and love Mir just to hate on Wayland.

You won't break anything if you keep your old kernel as a backup in the bootloader. If the kernel doesn't work, just reboot and select the one that works and try to fix the custom one.

You should chase this up with your desktop environment of choice."

It's not JUST an init system but it's still an init system.

>Alright, you're an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about. Wayland is in no way related to GNOME. That's like saying Kwin, xfwm or Openbox is the de-facto window manager for X.
The whole point is that Wayland delegates much of what X11 does to the compositors so it's HARDER to develop. I'm exaggerating to get a point across.

>Why is Mir a better solution than Wayland? Do you have any objective, technical facts to back that up or do you only like it because it's not mainstream? I'm willing to bet that you're one of those people who hate Cannonical for some ridiculous reason, but you somehow throw all of your petty opinions out of the window and love Mir just to hate on Wayland. At least try to be consistent with your idiocy.
Because Mir actually has (not only a compatibility layer for X11 but also) support for EWHM/ICCM-like communication between clients, which Wayland doesn't have. I don't hate Canonical but they get a lot of hate and Mir is one thing they are doing right.

Also I'm a Luddite because I want more features? X11 is shit. I'm not saying we should keep it.

By them adding an extension to the protocols down the road. That's what all of your complains boil down to: it's not possible currently (except for the color temperature topic). The people who are working on it most likely know what they're doing and I'm sure there are valid reasons for all of their choices. If you don't like them, offer a solution by addressing them on the appropriate channels. Complaining about certain specific and niche features right now is an idiotic thing.

nginx & permissions issue

According to people, I need to have +x permission on directory structure to traverse a directory.

Host1 tree permissions:
http://pastebin.com/raw/niinE21v

Host2 tree permissions:
http://pastebin.com/raw/AvyRd4n1

Now, on the first host I can access uploaded files in the img directory, however on the second host I'm getting 403/Forbidden.
The error log says:
10219#10219: *1 open() "/usr/share/nginx/[website]/public/img/[file].png" failed (13: Permission denied)


However, when I do this, the www-data user can access stat them just fine:
anon@host2 $ sudo -u www-data stat /usr/share/nginx/[website]/public/img/[file].png
Access: (0640/-rw-r-----) Uid: ( 1002/ anon) Gid: ( 1002/ anon)


What gives? Is 0640 on the files a problem here? Why are they 0640 by default?

>>56470688
The clients will never be able to communicate with each other directly, if anything they will be able to communicate with each other through the compositor, which is very likely to happen in the future because it's an absolutely necessary functionally. Now if it is a necessity why not include it in the server protocol? Instead of having one good standard built into the protocol, you'll have every compositor doing it differently. This is my main gripe with Wayland, it had a chance to make a fucking incredible display server protocol but instead it chooses to delegate things to compositor.

Wayland obviously isn't shit but It's sad that for example if you're colorblind you'll have to hope that your compositor has support for colorblind people because Wayland doesn't feel like adding it to the protocol. When I said GNOME will be the de facto standard is because they'll be the only ones to have the resources to have a fully featured compositor. I mean GNOME is already light-years ahead of everyone else in certain regards, Wayland will just cement it even further.

There's a way to search packages with your package manager.

>>56472495

Cmus, htop and mutt aren't command line (CLI) software; they're TUI. I don't understand how CLI/TUI/GUI software has anything to do with the window manager you're running. Your window manager won't differentiate between those in any way.
Thinking that you have to use CLI/TUI software with a tiling window manager is a disgusting myth perpetuated by idiotic script kiddies who post in desktop threads.

Access: (0640/-rw-r-----)  Uid: ( 1002/   anon) Gid: ( 1002/   anon)

with 640 the user "anon" has read/write access, users in the "anon" group have read access, and anyone else has no access
since www-data isn't the owner, nor is it apparently in the "anon" group, it's regarded as "other", which corresponds to the final "0", meaning no access
so yea, the solution is either use 644, or add www-data to the anon group, or more commonly, make www-data the owner of the data
