Anyone else have a problem where pulseaudio sink numbers change after changing the config profile through pavucontrol? My volume control buttons stop working until restart, or if I switch my volume keybind from pactl set-sink-volume 1 +5% to pactl set-sink-volume 3 +5%

> clear playlist
> listen to different music
> stop playback

> shut down pc

> mpd immediately starts playing second-to-last playlist that I already cleared
This doesn't even happen reliably. What the fuck is going on?

>>57102260
Try @DEFAULT_SINK@ instead of the sink number.

My Debian testing install randomly powers off, the screen turns black and the whole computer unresponsive and it powers off after 15 seconds or so of the screen going black. The computer goes completely unresponsive (no altgr+printscreen+k, no changing to a text console). This always happens when typing something in the keyboard.

When that happens the last thing in /var/log/messages is garbage (see screenshot). How would one go around debugging that?

After the first install, monitors 2 and 3 works slowly, and 1 was recognized on the settings panels but didn't display anything (remain black)
I installed the Intel HD Graphics drivers, It didn't do anything.
Then I've installed the nVidia drivers (and disabled Nouveau) : 2 and 3 now runs smoothly, but 1 is not recognized on the setting panel at all.

Any idea how to achieve this 3-way display ? It works fine on windows. (multi display thing is enabled in the BIOS).

You're both wrong it depends on your setup.

poweroff is usually aliased in some way to "systemd poweroff" if you use systemd.

Super newbie questions: how does one typically get software on a distro that doesn't have its own software repo? Do you usually compile from the source? Where do you even find the programs, google and github? Are incompatibilities between packages common? And is that something you can fix or do you just go without one of the packages?

>>57103828
Oh, and also: how does one keep up with updates?

>>57103771
You're right but also wrong, it's "systemctl poweroff".

>>57103828
Most distros have package managers.

Is [ shell syntax or a command?

>>57103928
both

>>57103928
It's also an executable in your /usr/bin/

>>57103928
It's both, a shell builtin and a binary (test, [).
If you use a simple POSIX shell, you will use test, within bash, you'll use the builtin.
[[ is in a bash builtin only, if you program in bash, you use [[ and if you program compatible scripts, you use test or [

>>57104023
Bad practice. If you're not going to write portable sh anyway, it's better to use the more robust shell features which are already there. Also: Consistence.

>how does one typically get software on a distro that doesn't have its own software repo?
Most distributions have their own repositories and package manager.

>Do you usually compile from the source?
You can always compile software from source but sometimes there's simpler alternatives, for example Google Chrome and Steam have their own repositories, VMware and TeamSpeak have their own installation scripts.

>Where do you even find the programs, google and github?
It depends.

>Are incompatibilities between packages common?
There are some exceptions but since you're new let's just say packages are package manager specific.

>And is that something you can fix or do you just go without one of the packages?
I'm don't understand what you are asking here.

>>57104106
Actually false. [[ has a lot more features such as regex pattern matching no word splitting etc.

>>57104207
Further reading:
>What is the difference between test, [ and [[ ?
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/031

>>57103828
Here's what I would do in practice.

>how does one typically get software on a distro that doesn't have its own software repo?
I'm not sure what you mean by this, since every distro has repositories. But for the sake of the rest of the post, I assume this means how to get software that's missing from your distro's repositories?

1. You look for a third party repository that has it packaged. This means stuff like the AUR, gentoo overlays, ubuntu PPAs etc. 99% of times, if something is missing from the official repos it will be available in some third-party repo

2. If this fails, it sort of depends on what my use case is. If I only want to try something out, I'll just build it in-tree and run the binary from the build folder, without actually installing it. (Littering up my system with out-of-tree garbage is a huge NO-NO)

3. If I decide that I want to have it around permanently, I package it myself and then install it through my package manager like everything else.

>Do you usually compile from the source?
My package manager compiles all programs from source.

>Where do you even find the programs, google and github?
Pretty much. Some of the larger non-github projects also have github mirrors, and I'll prefer building from those where available.

>Are incompatibilities between packages common?
Only for old, outdated, bitrotten software. If a conflict ever arises, it's virtually *always* going to be of this form:

>modern version of software A requires X at version 3.20 or higher
>old-ass-shit version of software B requires X at version 2.*
In this case, you get a dependency conflict at version X. The solution for me is always to get rid of the old-ass shit that's holding me back.

Also, some package managers can have multiple versions of X c oexisting peacefully (e.g. portage to some extent, Nix or Guix completely), so that might be another option.

I had heard that Manjaro doesn't backport security updates like Ubuntu does. Then I read this:
http://allanmcrae.com/2015/02/improvements-on-manjaro-security-updates/

Does that mean that Manjaro, Ubuntu, and Arch are all more or less equally safe from a security point of view?

>>57104341
Yes.

>>57104207
Having more features does not mean it's more robust.
None of those features are worth it to me to justify having to switch contexts between portable and non-portable scripts.

Manjaro OpenRC, Devuan and LFS all caught my eye.
Can someone name some pros and cons about each?
As it appears GNU/Linux is not as easy to install as I thought it would be I'm trying not to waste time choosing the wrong one for myself.
I'm a newbie by the way.

echo is not standardized, it will behave differently on different systems. In fact, on some systems echo is a simple symlink to a script which calls printf. While echo works, printf is better practice. More about printf's power: http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/commands/builtin/printf

nothing. everything replaced by systemd has a perfectly suitable alternative that is stable and manageable for decades. i honestly do not understand why people defend red hat's embrace, extend, extinguish approach to the linux ecosystem, they are no different than Microsoft and they do not have the average desktop linux user in mind with the changes they're politicking into play. they want a homogeneous ecosystem that they can sell to the govt + any other bidder.

>>57106318
>>57106349
The two commands I ran before those:

$ /bin/dash
$ clear

Dash is a minimal POSIX shell that sticks to the standard (which doesn't have -n). Actually bites me quite often because for some reason programms love to use

#!/bin/sh

but still rely on the non-POSIX

echo -n

>>57106363
>nothing. everything replaced by systemd has a perfectly suitable alternative that is stable and manageable for decades.
systemd user here, these are the reasons I prefer systemd over OpenRC:
>user services
>session/seat tracking
>socket activation
>suspend/hibernate (pm-utils was a nightmare)
>monotonic timers / random timers
>automatic daemon restarting
>service-based process tracking and management (via cgroups)
>usable logging interface (journalctl)
>service file overrides

If you can get me how to get OpenRC to feature parity with systemd I wouldn't mind switching back again, but as it stands the alternatives are simply lacking

just installed KDE on my 2ndary laptop

KDE isn't comfy at all

why would anyone use it over gnome?

>>57106386
Those are not actually selection artifacts, they are the border of the terminal window

From the github page you linked it seems like xrectsel only outputs the dimensions, rather than actually taking a screenshot. How do you combine it with imagemagick?

import -window root -crop $(xrectsel -g -s dash -f "%wx%h+%x+%y") +repage scrot.png

That command doesn't work for me, just prints ‘-g’. Huh?

Also, can xrectsel pick by window instead of by square? With import I can just click on a window to get the whole window

anyone want to help me with this wargame level? i'm on level 14 of bandit on over the wire. on level 13, there was a file sshkey.private that you could use to ssh into bandit14@localhost from bandit13.

the "hint" (i know it's telling me exactly what to do and i'm just ignorant of how to do it) for level 14 is
>The password for the next level can be retrieved by submitting the password of the current level to port 30000 on localhost.

how do i find the password of the current level i.e. 14? i found a directory .ssh that has a file authorized_keys. it says

ssh-rsa followed by a long string, and ending in rudy@localhost

i've tried ssh'ing into rudy@localhost and it doesn't work. i did ssh rudy@localhost -p 30000 and it tells me connection closed by remote host

https quarantees that the site you visit is the site you visit. http can be spoofed by many ways. it doesn't really matter if a cd image is available with or without ssl as long as the place where you get the checksums is a secured place.

that said, it doesn't really matter on ubuntu since it's full of proprietary code anyway which is the same security hole in a different color
