what a sexist operating system, making "man" explain sexist, overtly stereotypical masculine commands

>>56948889
You're free to change it! Don't like? Do it better.

I'm trying to troubleshoot the audio on my Ubuntu installation, but don't know where to start.

I can only start music (using either Spotify or mpd) if there's already an active audio output (for instance if I play a video with audio in VLC). When the music is finally playing, I can quit whatever application "initiated" the audio output.

How do I begin troubleshooting this? How do I pinpoint what part of the audio stack causes the lack of sound? AFAIK Spotify does NOT depend on Pulseaudio, hence the audio flow looks something like this:

Spotify -> ALSA -> Pulseaudio virtual device -> ALSA -> speaker


How can I check that each component receives the input?

>>56948914
Spotify does not respect your freedoms.

Just installed Debian for the first time but have two major problems:
How do I install a driver for my graphics card (netbook)? It says something like 'needs non-free firmware'.
How do I boot back into Windows 7? I thought by installing grub I'd get the choice of booting into either Debian or Windows, but when grub loads I only get Debian as an option.

>>56948927
mpd should though.

I can't believe I fell for the linux meme.

I did a

pacman -Syyu

yesterday and I think there was a conflict between qt5base and qtchooser. I decided to remove qtchooser, but the instant the removal process was finished my system crashed to the console. I rebooted and now my window manager won't start up, instead it boots into the emergency shell and It won't let me type in anything.

What the hell am I supposed to do now? I'm guessing I need to chroot into the system with a live USB, but I've no idea what to do from then on to remedy the problem.

So I just found out those big screen WiFi/advertisement displays New York is putting up to replace phonebooths runs Linux.

What distro do you think they use?

>>56949186

Why do you guys hate BSD? Every time a BSD is mentioned in any way on /g/ you guys rush to shitpost on it and call it a 'cuck license'. I thought total, open source freedom was what /g/ wanted? Isn't this what the BSD license offers?

>>56949275
yeah i never had qtchooser so idk what to tell you

on this command:

sudo dd bs=4M if=input.iso of=/dev/sdc


Can someone explain to me what bs is?

>>56949346

top kek

>>56949502
Block size. dd will read 4M at a time and write 4M at a time.

>>56949285
pacman -S rdesktop
man rdesktop

>>56949502
If you're confused about options on linux commands, you can type "man [name of program]" to get the man page. For example "man dd" returns the man page which explains bs on the first page.

I use different languages often however is there an option for Ibus to change the order of languages? or at least the default one? It appears it goes by alphabetical order but I dont know how to change this.

Or is there a better alternative to Ibus that lets me set my language order?

>>56949625
drop to a shell and manually mount everything, then drop back into the boot process and it might get you to a login prompt at least.

>>56949625

>>56949657

Alright, I'll see if I can do that.

>>56949657

Could you explain a bit on how to do this? I managed to log in to the root shell from emergency mode. So, I need to mount /boot or what?

>>56949834
Yeah. mount /dev/sdwhatever /boot, and rinse and repeat for your other disks. If you have /etc/fstab yet, refer to it.

business idea: a FOSS cell phone

i genuinely want to make a cell phone with completely free software that you can use as a basic computer. it'd just have 1 usb port, a phone application, icedove, rhythmbox, a camera, a picture/video viewer, iceweasel, and a terminal. how hard could it possibly be? would you buy one?

>>56951299
no i wouldnt buy one

>>56951299
It isn't worth the work. A phone connected to a provider is always a tracking device. If people wanted to have a phone which isn't a listening device, they could just buy a dumbphone.

>>56951299
basically this >>56951361 but free software instead of proprietary is always the lesser evil

Also here's an explanation of what those commands do:
- apt update uses the sources.list file and updates its info on packages that you can install
- the xserver-xorg-video-all is a package which installs video drivers
- os-prober finds the Windows boot partition for you and sets it up to work with grub
- update-grub regenerates your grub menu based on the current config, which should include Windows thanks to os-prober

Ich möchte nur einmal kurz etwas einwerfen. Was sie als Linux bezeichnen ist in Wahrheit GNU/Linux, oder wie ich es vor kurzem zu bezeichen begonnen habe, GNU plus Linux. Linux an sich ist kein Betriebssystem, sondern eine weitere freie Komponente eines voll Funktionsfähigen GNU Systems, welches durch die GNU corelibs, shell utilities und andere wichtige System Komponente nützlich gemacht wird und ein Betriebssystem ist, wie es durch das POSIX definiert ist.

Viele Computer Nutzer benutzen eine modifizierte Version des GNU Systems jeden Tag ohne es zu bemerken. Durch eine eigenartige Wendung wird die Version von GNU, die heute weit verbreitet ist, oft Linux genannt und viele der Nutzer sind sich nicht bewusst, dass es eigentlich das GNU System ist, welches von dem GNU Projekt entwickelt wurde.

Es existiert wirklich ein Linux, und diese Leute benutzen es, jedoch handelt es sich dabei nur um einen Teil ihres Systems. Linux ist ein Kernel: das Programm im System welches die durch die Maschine bereitgestellten Ressourcen an andere laufende Programme verteilt. Der Kernel ist ein essentieller Teil eines Betriebssystems, aber ohne den Rest des Systems nutzlos; er kann nur in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Rest des Systems funktionieren. Linux wird für gewöhnlich in Kombination mit dem GNU Betriebssystem verwendet: Das ganze System ist eigentlich GNU mit dem Linux Kernel, oder GNU/Linux. Alle so genannten Linux Distributionen sind in Wahrheit Distributionen von GNU/LINUX!

>>56952484

Thanks a lot for your help. And for the explanations. Never used Linux much before, but it's cool to be able to get a basic grip of it from this thread. I've managed to get Windows on to grub, but I'm still not sure the video drivers are working. It looks the same (and I'm also still getting the "radeon kernel modsetting for R600 or later requires firmware non-free" or something). Is there a way of checking if the driver is running? Or is it safe to assume it's not from that error?

Yeah no problem. Looking at this page: https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo#Drivers

Perhaps you need the package "firmware-linux-nonfree" in order for the drivers to be used? It says
>Without this package installed, poor 2D/3D performance in the radeon driver is commonly experienced.
so that sounds about right

I decided to switch back to fedora from arch to get more of a "just werks" type of experience. My only problem is chromium on fedora does not have H.264 or MSE&H.264 support. I installed it from the official repo so idk the problem. Funny enough, it just werked on arch. This just sucks because it defaults to the flash player and that blows.

BTW, arch didn't break on me. It's a great distro and I loved it. I just want to be lazy with my linux distros now.

>he fell for the arch meme

How do I set it up so my laptop will resume suspend from the lid closing/opening?
I've got it to suspend, but when I open it the screen is pitch black (i.e. the screen itself is not powered, it's as though the machine were off).

>>56954625
So my laptop's screen now won't turn on period. Even after powering it off and on.
Welp...

What are some recommended libre alternatives to VirtualBox? Just curious.

On XFCE, just installed Compton, appears to be running OK as I now have drop shadows on the windows. Set to startup automatically. However screenfetch is still showing window manager is xfwm4...what do? When I play a video the video stays on the top of the windows, which is why I tried installing Compton.

>>56954885
compton isnt a wm

>>56954680
Wich parts of Virtualbox are nonfree? Well, theres also QEMU.

So I'm kind of a noob and I tried to install Debian. / on SSD and /home on HDD. When I boot up the PC it shows grub and I select Debian and then it goes to a black screen and nothing happens. Any ideas?

>>56954975

Thank me later.

I freelance updating and basic management of CMS for people (no website development shit tho). I have a bash script that I run to find and check all CMS installed against the latest official version. Unfortunately Joomla's site keeps giving me trouble in the past 2 months. I tried both curl and wget:

 wget -O- https://www.joomla.org/download.html | grep "Full Package" | awk -F' ' '{print $14}' 

 curl -s https://www.joomla.org/download.html | grep "Full Package" | awk -F' ' '{print $14}' 

It connects but then spits this out:

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 416 Requested range not satisfiable
The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do.

Anyone have any idea why I am getting that error or an alternative way to get the latest version of Joomla through cli?

How do I save my settings in alsamixer and powertop so that they are active when I start my machine? Every time my computer shuts down, all the sounds are muted, and I want powertop t go to the proper settings on boot up so that I can get good battery life.

curl version works from here, wget seems blacklisted, a workaround is spoofing the user-agent:

wget -U 'Mozilla/5.0' -qO- https://www.joomla.org/download.html | grep "Full Package" | awk -F' ' '{print $14}' 
3.6.2

>>56955340
Just use wine instead

>>56955410
btw, awk can grep too:

wget -U 'Mozilla/5.0' -qO- https://www.joomla.org/download.html | awk -F' ' '/Full Package/ { print $14 }'

>>56955410
yeah thats the weird thing, curl will work for a while then starts spitting the error out. I will try spoofing the user-agent and see if that works

>>56955461
nice, thanks. Still trying to learn everything awk can do and memorize it. fantastic tool

>>56955489
Try these oneliners to speed up learning: http://www.pement.org/awk/awk1line.txt

Next time when curl begins to cry, try adding the -L or --location flag.

>>56955461
curl variant is -A 'Mozilla/5.0'

>>56955410
Reminds me of something I discoverend while digging the sources of "blackarch" on github. These retards aliased curl and wget to the useragent "noleak". Now everyone knows not only that the user was using curl or wget; they also know that the user is using blackarch. What a huge fail.

After trying KDE for an hour, I went back to Cinnamon. Cinnamon is so much nicer than KDE. It's fucking comfy and everything works well. If you come from Win/Mac, Cinnamon is the best.

>how do i adjust? please for the love of god help me i don't want to use gnome
Install Arc theme for Cinnamon and then go through Settings and go though each part of the system and learn what you can adjusted and how you can adjust it. Then just spend some time doing what you usually do and when you find an annoyance, just fix it.

I came to Linux from OSX and Cinnamon is what kept me on Linux. I was able to adjust all the shortcuts and behaviors I used on OSX. I also tried Win10 but Win10 was total fucking shit.

I can't find the hashes for Ubuntu mini ISO.

I need help with removing icons in XFCE.

When I remove a system default package, the package is removed, yet the reference link in the start menu is left behind as an empty pointer to nothing and I can't remove it through normal means.

Googling this issue just brings me back pages and pages of vague nothings, a lot of which seem to be unresolved.

Can anybody help me?

>>56957591
The start menu links usually are on this directories:
/usr/share/applications
$HOME/.local/share/applications

You need to list them, and try to guess what are the icons that you need to delete, then delete it.

>>56957614
>>56957614
Ok, so I missed the one in the $HOME directory, and I removed that one as well, yet the start menu icon still persists.

Do I have to restart the DE like explorer.exe in Windows? Or are there more locations I have to delete it from?

I use GCC 6.2 because I do work with brand new C++ features (namely concepts) which are unusable in anything older. Arch Linux has 6.2 so I use that, but I am getting sick of tweaking things all the time. I am very easily distracted so this distro is fucking killing me.

Would getting a stable distro like Debian and upgrading to 6.2 cause problems? I saw that Testing already uses 6.1, but I would honestly be okay with just using Stable as long as I could update GCC and CMake. And I like GNOME 3 btw.

>>56957481
How? The installation page shows the hashes right after the link?

There were other copies left in

Thanks for the pointer.

>>56957673
Yes, but what about the hashes for http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/ which is linked down at the bottom, and which the Ubuntu site links to as the "network installer"? They're different sizes, and have (obviously) different hashes.

Change your $PS1 to something fancy.

For example (with urxvt):
.Xresources

URxvt.depth: 32
URxvt.background: #111111
URxvt.foreground: #ADADAD

URxvt.scrollBar: false

URxvt.font: xft:Terminus:size=12:antialias=true

#Follows the vim jellybeans colour scheme
URxvt.color0: #3B3B3B
URxvt.color1: #CF6A4C
URxvt.color2: #99AD6A
URxvt.color3: #D8AD4C
URxvt.color4: #597BC5
URxvt.color5: #A037B0
URxvt.color6: #71B9F8
URxvt.color7: #ADADAD
URxvt.color8: #3B3B3B
URxvt.color9: #CF6A4C
URxvt.color10: #99AD6A
URxvt.color11: #D8AD4C
URxvt.color12: #597BC5
URxvt.color13: #A037B0
URxvt.color14: #71B9F8
URxvt.color15: #ADADAD
