I just watched this Lennart Poettering talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyMLi8QF6sw
and I've gotta say, systemd is actually a pretty awesome thing.

I understand that it tries to be so much more than a simple init, but it handles things so much better and makes life much easier than ever before.
Every role it takes, it does so much better. So what if it goes against the unix philosophy, if it's for the grater good?

There are absolutely no rational arguments for using an inferior init system.
Face it, systemd was the future a long time ago and that future is now.

Everyone who matters has already accepted it. I don't think there's a single major distro which still uses sysv init

Only purists and the uninformed think that the alternative is better. Both of which are objectively wrong.

>install mint on msata ssd on thinkpad

I have this problem where if I set the SSD as the default boot device it won't boot from that. It just sits at a black screen.

But if I boot from linux installed on the HDD it will go into the bootloader and let me select the linux installed on the SSD and boot from that SSD installed linux it.

What causes this/how do I fix it?

I'm getting the same with my desktop's front audio jack, no matter what operating system or driver I use, simply because the jack is shit and there's tons of electrical interference, which you perceive as static noise.

I need your advice, /g/.
I think it would be useful to keep my /usr/local on a separate partition from /
(if I change/reinstall distro, it would be nice to keep all my compiled programs)
I already have /home on a separate partition.
I was thinking of moving my /usr/local on the /home partition next to my home dir and symlinking it to /usr/local on the / partition.
If that's not a bad practice, I'd also do the same with /opt and /var (I have a 500GB hdd and I keep most of my media on an external drive, so I have plenty of room to grow my pacman cache in case of emergency).
Should I do this?

I made a folder on Ubuntu of guitar videos and sheet music some time ago, and have been adding to it for the last 3 months

well, this is on an external hard drive. I plugged it into a Windows 10 PC, and every folder except this one, the one I'm trying to access, is able to read.

Reusing binaries is bad because you'll end up mixing different libraries and perhaps even different C libraries. Unless you plan on reinstalling the exact same version of the exact same distro, chances are it's not gonna work. A much better idea would be never compiling stuff manually (just make a package for your distro if it isn't available), then keeping a list of the installed packages around. It's not going to be the same names between different package managers, but it's going to be way easier to adapt.

What is the best GNU/Linux bistro?
>>
>>56800046
You can, if you extract it into your root, but you really shouldn't. It's going to be untracked, which means that pacman won't be aware that you installed it, won't be able to remove it, won't treat it as installed for the purposes of dependences, won't update it, etc. Is the package not available in the AUR? And if so, is there any special reason why you can't push it to the AUR yourself?

From the last thread, how can I properly install dolphin on mate and/or xfce, and make it the default file manager? On mate I could install it, but trying to make it default became a little mess, with some stuff (specially from the start menu) opening with caja and some opening with dolphin. On xfce, I installed, and it became the default with no problems, but it wasn't showing icons. On ubuntu mate with xfce desktop it kinda worked tho.

It's not really hard, that page is just awful, as ubuntu docs tend to be, and I got lazy. Just edit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list and append the following two lines:
inode/directory=dolphin.desktop
x-directory/normal=dolphin.desktop

(the correct name might not actually be dolphin.desktop, I'm just guessing. if this fails, take a look at /usr/share/applications for some .desktop file that contains dolphin somewhere in its name).

Yep. I should have noted that the password it asked for was the root password, not your user's password. If you typed your own, try again, but use the root pw instead.

No idea, to be honest. I had a similar issue before with pcmanfm, and it turns out that I didn't have any icon sets installed. But I don't use dolphin myself, so I wouldn't know. It's kind of a long shot, but try installing some sort of kde icon theme, and check in the dolphin preferences for any icon theme options.

>>56800554
Yeah, xfce4 is the base DE, task-xfce-desktop comes with some extra goodies. I guess you don't have tasksel either, which leads to the lack of the ^task-.* packages. xfce4 should give you a DE. Though I'm not sure iwhether t comes with a display manager.

I've been using normal Ubuntu for a while, but randomly it stopped working with my printer, and kept running into errors whenever I tried to get it to recognize it.

So I tried installing Lubuntu, just to see what would happen. The good news, is it recognizes my printer but now I have a bunch of other problems.

1) I have no sound. I google'd this and followed some steps that included downloading pulseaudio volume control. When I open this it shows that
>Port: Line Out (plugged in)
Which should be my speakers, but I get nothing.

2) None of my media keys work. I tried following this:
>http://askubuntu.com/questions/585523/add-support-for-media-keys-play-stop-previous-and-next-buttons-in-lubuntu
But I don't understand the instructions.
>Modify ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
I already don't know what that means.

3) I have screen tearing when I scroll pages on the internet.

However, you need at least as much swap as your RAM in order to use hibernation, as it stores a copy of the current RAM in swap. Suspend works fine without swap, though.

Yeah, that might be troublesome. Off the top of my head, I don't recall whether netinst comes with any web browser. You could consider giving up and using an easier distro now, but if you still want to try, then we can find out if you have any web browser installed. What's the output of the following commands?
ls /usr/bin | grep lynx
ls /usr/bin | grep *links*
>>
>>56800916
Nevermind the * in that second command, it should be
ls /usr/bin | grep links

Turns out you don't have a web browser after all. There's ways to get out of this situation, but the two I can think of (download on another PC and copy packages over USB, or use telnet to manually write a POST request to the wifi login page) are pretty difficult to pull off and I'm not confident I can direct you over the internet. So I sadly have to recommend downloading a more complete easier to use system, and installing from scratch. Ubuntu and Mint are both good choices, as they have easy to use graphical network managers. Sorry for not being of much help.

It would be quicker to try it. Of course it is supported though, slackware is one or the oldest distro around.
The real answer, true to slackware form, would be download the script and look over the code and check yourself to see if it is supported.

Duel-boot it. Or if you're not going to half-ass it just backup what you need to and install it.

Here's a quote from an article linked on that page:

>Accept Your Privilege
>Once you have a basic grasp on the system of privilege, the next step is one simple self-realization: you are privileged. Chances are, your reading that has made you feel defensive. While it’s a perfectly natural, and common, reaction, don’t let it get in your way of actually thinking about what the statement means. What you need to realize is that we all have privilege to some degree: white privilege, male privilege, heterosexual privilege, etc. The hardest thing is to do is to get over your instinct to fight and say, “But I’m not like that!” If you can do it, you’ve completed the first step towards being a pro-equality in reality rather than simply saying and believing that you are.

This makes me so angry. Don't they see that they make "privileged" people by calling them "privileged" actually "non privileged"? Nowadays it's a privilege to be a women, trans or whatever special specialness else. because everyone needs to shut up or het gets harrassed and life ruined by loud screaming hords of justice warriors, maybe because he accidently referred to "her" as "him". Jesus fucking christ. Never post this bullshit again, not even ironically.

in a way

arch by default puts /tmp on a ramdisk, and yaourt by default puts AUR build files under /tmp, so your /tmp could run out of space with a combination of too small a /tmp (based on how much ram you have) and too large an AUR package

you can configure it to use another folder, or for a one-off, just use "yaourt --tmp /somewhere/else ..."

i've deleted my mozilla profile and cache numerous of times, i've changed the ownership of that times, i even created an entire new user space..... same thing.
>>
>>56807011
yes.
though there is still the fourth column of special permissions.
if you really want to fuck over your security and give every security expert looking at your system a stroke, set the permissions to 7777.
that will set the setuid, setgid and the sticky bit. allowing the file to set its own user id to root, if executed.

How come I can see my 2.4GHz n and even 5GHz network on a simple wireless a/b/g card in Linux?
What kind of sorcery is this?

Hey guys, I recently made a full switch to Linux and installed wine for some basic videogames, but everytime i try to run any program i get this error
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x00d39640).

Anyone ran into this issue before and managed to fix it?
>>
>>56807581
Try to run wine with sudo rights. If that doesen't work, then switch to 64bit linux.
>>
>>56807625
Already tried to run with sudo but still same thing, also I'm already running 64 bit
I'm using Debian Stretch if that can be of help
>>
>>56807667
Download the repository and upgrade wine. Maybe use playforlinux.
>>
>>56807704
What do you mean by downloading the repository?
I'd use playforlinux but unfortunately the game is already on the hard drive and I don't have the installer, will definitely use it in the future though
>>
>>56805214
Yea
>>
>>56807581
Try a 32-bit winebottle.
Or actually install 32-bit libs on your system, though that error shouldn't look like this.
>>
>>56807874
How do I do either of those? Sorry but it hasn't even been a week since i installed linux
>>
>>56805023
Sounds like faulty usb controller firmware (but i am obviously not sure about it), it may be annoying but it is better not touched. unless you have a bios/uefi setting for that.
>>
>>56805211
systemctl poweroff
git gud before complaining
>>
>>56807885
Just call wine with
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/bottle/for/32bit wine


As for the other part, trust your friendly installation instructions from your distro.

I would recommend installing a bootloader.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Boot_loaders
although there is way to using the uefi direclty.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFISTUB#efibootmgr

my bootloaders is limited, so I will just paste the links from the archwiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Check_if_you_have_GPT_and_an_ESP

>I would recommend installing a bootloader.
I have grub..

No matter what I do to the boot order, windows comes first. On the windows disk manager, the windows partition is marked as boot and I can't change this; the "mark partition as active" option is grey.
diskpart gives me the following objection "The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk."
But it's UEFI so why would I change from GPT? How else can it become bootable?
I can boot into arch but this involves booting into windows first and then restarting and fuck that.

>>56808325
>try installing the drivers
where do I find "ELAN I2C Filter Driver"?
>>
strangely enough I no longer have audio coming from anything (mpv and browsers in particular) bar mpd.
speaker-test -c 2
also works, so I think I've set the right default card on .asoundrc
Any idea on what might have happened? I'm using pulseaudio (and need to).
>>
>>56809022
sorry I don't know much about uefi to help on it, try searching for the problem over at the arch wiki and bbs

drivers usually have a different name with different operating system (i.e. windows and linux) check for your device on arch
try out the touchpad synaptics and see if they work

#  pacman -Syu xf86-input-synaptics

What GNU plus Linux distro would you recommend for an 11 inch 32 GB laptop? This is my first time.

This is just for fun, I've replaced the laptop.
>>
>>56809217
Arch if you're ready to get your hands dirty and actually interested in doing so.
Ubuntu otherwise.

Serious question, how good is widowmaker? I'm using a tiny acer aspire and wanna get maximum battery life out of it. So far I've been using lxde but widowmaker has a nice aesthetic desu.

Arch newbie here. Is there a way to prevent / block certain packages from being installed on pacman?Something like pinning packages with negative priority on apt.
>>
>>56809392
Why would you want that? It's either a dependency or it's not going to be installed.
>>
>>56809478
So I won't be able to install a package that depends on it by mistake.

I take it this is impossible on pacman?
>>
>>56808126
Real men like thicc distro's

>>56809608
>So I won't be able to install a package that depends on it by mistake.
I know it's a dumb solution, but just use your eyes. I bet you don't install enough packages and don't need to avoid enough packages to warrant such systematic approach.

Feel free to write a patch and send it upstream.

you can edit the
/etc/pacman.conf
to include the packages you want ignored. when you try to install the said packages it will ask you if you're sure you want to install them
>>
>>56809774
No other distros work. It has proprietary graphics, so I can't even install stuff without drivers.
>>
Wait, is it not possible for a file to be owned by multiple user groups? Like if i want to have two user groups, one with RW and another with just R for that folder is that not possible? Because if i do ls -l there is clearly no space for multiple owner groups in the column

How much different is Debian from Arch in a daily use ?
I'm thinking about trying it out, but if I have to spend as much time in the wikis as I did during my first weeks on arch I'd rather try it out in a VM first...

If you had installed gentoo you probably wouldn't be suffering such silly problems, memes aside.

I fixed a lot of issues, but another one just popped up and now I have to troubleshoot that one too

So, the way that gitlab works is that it comes prepackaged with nginx to just set up and install. But I already have nginx, so I had to turn off the nginx for gitlab and use configs I got online for it.

After I did all of that, I got
 502 Whoops, GitLab is taking too much time to respond. 


So obviously I checked out
 sudo gitlab-ctl tail 
. And now what it's saying is

2016-09-27_19:04:10.54887 2016/09/27 15:04:10 error: badgateway: GET "/git" failed after 0.000s: dial unix /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sockets/gitlab.socket: connect: connection refused


And just for fun,
 du --human-readable --summarize /var/log/gitlab 
gives me
58M    /var/log/gitlab

So there's no way I'll post all of that shit. Or even going through it. At least not today

 ls -la /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sockets 
gives me
drwxr-x--- 2 git gitlab-www 4096 Sep 27 13:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 git root 4096 Sep 27 14:37 ..
srwxrwxrwx 1 git git 0 Sep 27 13:08 gitlab.socket

www-data is a member of both git and gitlab-www. So it's definitely not a permissions issue.

People come and go in these threads. Sometimes it's full of wizards, and sometimes it's full of trolls and memelords.

Anyway, I've had troubles sharing drives between Windows and GNU/Linux.

GNU/Linux is open and flexible, so it never has trouble reading/writing/detecting drives, but Windows almost always has trouble and finds things "corrupted" or "read-only" or some other nonsense.

Using "chkdsk /f DRIVE_LETTER_HERE:" in the command line usually fixes the issue for me.

Gentoo, the basis of Android and ChromeOS, the most prolific Linux variants by far, are not onboard. Save yourself the embarrassment of riding the redhat ship into oblivion. Redhat is hemorrhaging funds to make this happen and when it fails they're done.
>>
>>56810000
Arch is cancer, don't fall for it. It comes with all kernel modules enabled, bloated packages and no freedom to choose only free packages. In return you get no installer and need to fix stupid defaults.
>>
>>56810000
How do you expect distros to differ in your daily use?
Your DE/WM of choice won't be magically different on a different distro. Same for browser and other things.

ebin!
but I guess that's the only thing you ever learn on Arch. Everything else will be shoved up your ass thanks to the AUR.

Arch is Noobuntu for the cool kids.

If you think Google's next gen. OS is going to be using systemDicks to promote Redhat's failure then you are mistaken. Linux is being pulled in two diffirent directions. One by the bloviating asshats at Redhat and the other by actual money making virtuoso programmers at Google. The latter is clearly going to win and it's not even debatable. This desperate attempt by Redhat to assert themselves as gatekeepers between Google and Linux is a joke and nobody is taking it seriously besides career autists like Lennart who think their grand plans are anything but a footnote in history.
