I said post to login, not post to desktop. Unless the desktop and the login manager are integrated (like GDM), the desktop won't have any effect on that wait time. However the buttload of services both of the distros you mentioned enable by default have a great deal of effect and are all notorious for being painfully slow to load. Maybe next time you'll know the answer.

>>56883758
Same, if you have services behind, and libraries as dependencies, they must be loaded BEFORE login.

1) Install Arch
2) Install a DE
3) Install a minimal LM

There, post to fuckoff in 1 seconds

>>56883783
I'm not sure if Arch satisfies the "complete" clause of the requirements, and I'll laugh if you think it satisfies the "competent".

not a bad idea, but I think it would be too much work to make this happen.

ifconfig says my ethernet connection is up and running receiving/sending packets without loss yet when i try to ping google dns it says network unreachable, when trying to ping a local address or just literally anything including 127.0.0.0 i get the same errors, whats the problem how can i fix it?

Do you have openssh-server installed?
Is sftp enabled in config?
Can you do a portscan with "nmap"?

It looks like to me that the computers just block the ICMP request.
Also, are you sure they are on the same network?

UFW can also mess up:

sudo ufw disable

Then try again.

>>56884052
Set your dns.
Try adding this to /etc/resolve.conf

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

That will probably get overwritten automatically so look for how to set this permanently on your distro.

>>56884594
Did you open the ports your ssh server is running?

>>56884615
>>56884615
already did that while installing, it should be the default

>>56884613
not everyone uses ufw

but he might as well install it

>>56884646
>it should be the default
Well check. There's no room for 'should'.

>>56884647
Even if he installs it, it will not be enabled.
And since it's got blocked my guess was ufw.
iptables is never set up by default.

You have some bigger problems.
Your network config is messed up.

Do you have them connected by a direct cable?
Are they on a router?

If you are on a cable, do you use a DIFFERENT IP subnet than your OTHER network?

Like...
Router + Internet: 192.168.0.1
Local direct cable: 192.168.1.1

Because if it was correctly set up, and you use d a router, it should be like: 192.168.1.1 Destination unreachable

Also, your router could possibly be the culprit. Can you access other devices with any other device? Just install nginx on one of the Linux boxes and try accessing the local IP (192.168.1.73) via wifi, see if the default page pops up. Or use Network Scanner or something on your phone.

Okay, assuming you're doing this over wifi, check the output of ifconfig on the server. Specifically the wireless cards ip address. It may have changed since you started this mess.

>>56883873
.bashrc for path, exports, etc
.bash_aliases for aliases
.bash_func for functions
And so on.

That may seem like a lot of files, and a bit unnecessary, but when you need to adjust an alias or function, you're not digging through your whole .bashrc for them. I've had a lot of success with this method.

But then again, I'm very anal. My .Xresources has an include line pointing to a file in ~/.etc/colors that contains my terminal colors and I wrote a small script that scans that dir for any files ending in .Xcolors so I can change my terminal colors by typing "setclr <scheme.Xcolors>" and the script uses sed to replace the filename in my .Xresources

Is it possible on Arch to have some packages update through Arch Build System instead of downloading a precompiled package?

So you would still update the repos to find out if there are updates, but don't actually download those updated package (if you don't want) but instead get a PKGBUILD file and build the package yourself.

It would be useful for me to have this for certain packages, but doing so by hand can get annoying.

>inb4 literally install gentoo
no, that's not what this is about.

>>56887609

What's the point of asking such retarded questions?
Do you just want an answer that you can parrot in the future to appear smart? Because you obviously aren't going to use it, nor are you smart enough to look up what defines Gentoo and what it is. You just want someone to tell you what to think and to later keep spreading that cringe-worthy wrong information, to appear knowledgable and like a l33t hacker who knows his GNU/Linux distributions.
Kill yourself.

>>56887896

I'd say no because when you install something from the abs, it's a local installation and not part of a repository that's being kept track of.

Is it even possible to log out from the terminal? When I type logout it tells me to type exit instead, but exit just closes the terminal

>>56887950
Surely that's just a flag somewhere in the pacman database?

Weirdly enough, I just installed mpv from ABS and it doesn't show up in

pacman -Qm

, while all AUR packages are there. So I don't think you're 100% correct.

some of you guys use ROS? Im in the second semester of my masters in EE in robotics, and im willing to work in there. I work almost everyday in osx, win8,1 and kubuntu but im illiterate in any advanced skill in gnu. Any observation?

>>56888048
You can only log out after you logged in

>>56888096

Maybe it just compares the package's name to that in the database. That means on the next update, you'll probably get the new version from the repository and not your custom one.

>>56888048

You need to learn the difference between your terminal emulator and your shell. Look that up and then you'll see what's happening.
Hint: it is possible to log out from your shell. Your terminal emulator most likely closes when that happens.

Installing Arch. Few questions.

I understand the basic difference between BIOS and UEFI, but what exactly is the benefit to UEFI? If I want to later add another HD and dual boot Windows 7, does UEFI stop me from being able to do that?

Does EPI partition need to be in FAT32? And is ext2/3/4 recommended for primary partition? Or can it all be FAT32 or NTFS?

Also for later: desktops on Arch. Any recommendations for something light weight and low level?

>>56888229
They have this in a dual boot config with Win 7 on our lab computers at school. Seems alright from what I can tell, not much experience with anything "linux" besides Ubuntu though.

>>56888455

I don't get the repo-elephant. Please explain.

I'm doing a multilib setup of slackware64 but it says I need to declare the arch value when I compile a 32bit pkg. Do this a seperate var or a arg that I pass to the SlackBuilds files?

I tried getting PCI passthrough to workon arch, but I couldn't and now I'd like to revert it.
However, I followed the installgentoo guide, and it used a script and I have no clue how to revert it so I can boot into arch using my gpu again.
Any ideas?

i'm having trouble installing Ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop.

When I run Select either "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" from the boot menu, I instead get a message telling me my monitor doesn't support the input timing.

Is there any way to change the timing used in an install drive? Thanks in advance.

Hey I've been having trouble trying to edit a file in the ect directory. I tried to access it as the root user and the methods suggested from a quick google search didn't work. Any help would be awesome!

Why do some of the themes I apply don't work properly with GTK3? This pic for example, the upper menu is how it looks on GTK2 programs and the bottom one is how it looks on GTK3 programs, but it's supposed to be the same for both of them since the theme supports that. The scrollbar is completely invisible too. Am I missing something?

>>56889831

>>56890150
This. Most of /g/ uses Arch.

Because those themes don't work with your GTK3 version. Find a theme which supports your GTK version. THere are only a handful of themes which work with 3.20.

There's quite a few stable and reliable distros. Biggest thing holding it back is the fanboyism of half the community.

I did find out that VLC is indeed considered a dependency of KDE and that if you use "apt-get remove VLC" instead it shows before you confirm this decision that it's going to uninstall the entire desktop environment, but this is absolutely absurd.

If you have your music folder set out "Artist - Album Name" or similar,

mpc ls | grep "Album Name" | mpc add

will add the album to the current playlist.

Or after reading the manual,

mpc search album "album name" | mpc add

might be easier.

>>56895144
Various reasons, namely wanting it to have more memory for firefox and krita to gobble up and finding the idea of setting up my own enviornment like that interesting. I notice this since KDE has so much stuff I have no interest in using either as dependencies or built into the system.
>>56895198
I cant imagine why not. It doesn't seem like the differences between fedora, ubuntu, debian, suse, whatever will affect a new user that much.
Just remember that if the UI grosses you out you can use a different desktop enviornment. If the repos dont have enough software try antergos or something.
KDE felt pretty comfy and familiar coming from windows, for me.

Your point being?
If your router does not suport what you are hard compiling, you're doing it wrong.
Your router will take care of this by its self, throttling/shaping by its self, on the routers level, not on a clients level.

Your router is all you need to configure

>>56895503

>>56895528
I'm not compiling it to the router. The link between my laptop and the router is slow, and I need to prioritize packets that are sent over somehow (QoS). The Linux kernel has QoS modules that do this, and I want to know which one is the best one. No computer has to be plugged into my computer for the QoS to work, because it can prioritize packets made from processes, right?

Yep, that helped. But it is indeed pretty worthless to me.

I think I'll try building the package with a pre-hook. So that it's already in the

/var/cache/pacman/pkg/

by the time pacman wants to download it. Not much hope that it will work, but we'll see.

Am I fucking retarded or what? Anyone want to give me a babbys ricing tutorial? I really am liking the feel of Debian but I prefer a darker theme

nice thumbnail, thanks for posting

iv bought an openvz vps, and one of the available gnulinux distributions are gentoo, I want to use it because it is a bleeding edge distro. I've tried to, but I ran into many problems, the first of them is that portage version is too old, when i try to update it, I get this error message: "error unsupported eapi 5"

Python version is 2.5
portage is 2.1rc1(I think)
