/fglt/ - Feelgood GNU/Linux Thread

I wanted to update my intel gpu drivers on mint, so I went to dl the intel update util from intel's site. They have an updater for ubuntu, seeing as mint is just a flavor of ubuntu I went with that, but the installer refuses to update drivers because mint isn't supported. Any other way to update intel drivers (the repo is oldish)?

Pls send help

>>57212088
Use a theme that is supported.

>>57212096
It's the official distro theme.

>>57212108
Use a theme that is working.

>>57212120
That's not a valid solution

>>57212132

>>57212143
Yes, you said. It is evidently not updated and is broken.
>>57212148
A valid solution is filing a bug report and telling the incompetent devs that they didn't update their theme.

>>57212128
Is it the official theme?

>>57212157
Just use a theme that is oficially working.

I installed mint since it was already being rufus'd to the flash drive as I posted. My sound's RIP and I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at when I 'alsamixer'. Any of you kind folks have any spoons you can feed me with?

>>57212328
Maybe your soundcard is muted. Happens often.
Check the archwiki for all questions. It's great.

how do i nc to a port once, and then repeatedly send it info in a bash script doing a for loop?

e.g. i want to send it the numbers 1, 2, ... 10000 and capture what it outputs when it receives all of those. how should i do it? right now, i connect to it, send the number, capture the output, end the connection. and that's way too slow

>>57212355

>>57212367
The next one will drive you insane. Post when you got it.

>>57212228
uhhh, it was in the repository, but it's not a "flavor"
so yes, it is officially supported i'd say

>>57212076
I'm going to try this on my trisquel partition; considering it's from intel as well, you could give it a go with your drivers to update them manually.

>The MM label below a channel indicates that the channel is muted, and 00 indicates that it is open
It's above the channel for me, guess it's a mint thing, but they're all green double 0's. Problem lies somewhere else.

>>57212493
i ended up using C for the past level lol

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
  int a, b, c, d;
  for (a = 0; a < 10; a++){
    for (b = 0; b < 10; b++){
      for (c = 0; c < 10; c++){
        for (d = 0; d < 10; d++){
          printf("UoMYTrfrBFHyQXmg6gzctqAwOmw1IohZ %d%d%d%d\n", a, b, c, d); 
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return 1;
}

then i did ./a.out | nc localhost 30002. i did it in bash too to where it worked but i wanted to do it in C as well just to C if i can compile everything and all that. i don't like bash much at all. think i'll stick to C where i can. and also i'll look at it now

>>57212520
Reminds me that bash also supports c-style loops: for ((i=0; i<10; i++)); do echo $i; done

Neat.

Anyway, I swapped to the correct Intel sound card, I'm assuming, since this is the only thing with master sound/all these other channels. When I try and
~ $ amixer sset Master toggle
I get
amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0

I know it's already unmuted but I'm wondering if all that other shit that's muted is the problem, and I don't know the hotkey in mint's alsamixer interface shit to unmute them.

Anyone got experience with samba? I have a UNIX account created with the same name as my Windows account and have added it using smbpasswd.

Don't use grub for EFI, it's not worth the hassle. Use systemdboot.

Haven't used arch with it but I've used gummi boot which it's forked off of, and basically just ran the generation and wrote the quick config sample you can see in that wiki. Use UUIDS, btw. blkid >> /boot/efi/loader/entries/arch.conf and remove the shit

>>57215210

Xfce is being ported to GTK3 currently (check the progress on the Wiki or blog). After that is done, they "just" have to write a Wayland compositor and it should work, I guess.

>>Xfce will never get rid of screen tearing
It will when it becomes a Wayland compositor.

kek.
GTK doesn't want to add features. That means they have to maintain it.
They don't care that their file picker does not have thumbnails, filters and settings to adjust the layout.
The only way to save the toolkits is to make them call a separate application that uses a compatible API, eg an array of strings or something like that.
That way, you can use a system default file dialog which will be the same for all applications.
GTK may recommend theirs, Qt theirs, and KDE theirs.
I know that it makes it a bit more complicated, but if changed at the toolkit level, it wouldn't affect the people who write the applications.

>>57215444

>GTK doesn't want to add features
[citation needed]
I suggest you read the bug report. Someone posted a patch for gtk2, but that won't get merged since feature-adding is "frozen" in gtk2. That person was asked to work on the gtk3 version. Apparently he did start working on it, but there have been no more messages or patches posted.
Please point out where you saw a "we won't add this stop sending patches" in that bug report.

Have already installed ubuntu through the usb, the installation is done but even after disabling Secure Boot the laptop still boots up to winderps 10, and disabling UEFI, the thing just wrote 'Operating system not found'

Enable both of them and windows boots instead

wat do?

Let's say I have a choice between installing just an nvidia package and

nvidia-dkms

.
As far as I see, there are only benefits to installing DKMS versions (compatible with multiple kernels, isn't dependent on one version).
But are there any drawbacks to them?

To bring up the BIOS menu, yes? I think I've already hit what I think is on my laptop, the F10 key, which didn't work, but I'll do what you suggest later

By the way, the VAIO have an ASSIST button which when long pressed from off brings up it own recovery environment which is why I can still boot windows when both UEFI and Secure Boot is disabled

>>57216447
On my laptop I had to keep UEFI enabled and disabled just secure boot.
Then on power up hit whatever your laptop key is to select a boot option which brings up a list like: Windows, USB, CD-, FDD ect.

>>57216523
should add, In the bios under boot priority if you select ubuntu as the first then if should boot into the grub menu and have windows listed there. Then you won't have to hit the boot selection key everytime.

Is there any benefit to using Debian over Ubuntu/Mint for a desktop system?

>>57214157
pls

>>57217128
none

>>57217128
Mint is horrible and I wouldn't trust them after their recent security fucking anyways.

Debian is the server king with its stable build. If you don't like the Ubuntu devs it's definitely the way to go and it also "respects libre software" more.

That said, since you're looking at that set of distros, I'd say that you'd fall under the "Ubuntu is the best choice for personal use" camp. It "just werks" far better than any other distro and has way better firmware support so you don't have to fuck around as much.

>>57217128

iirc ubuntu/mint/etc are just built on debian so if you want it all preconfigured nice and fancy go for the first two. if you want it slimmed down and want to sped time configuring go with debian.

I installed Nouveau on Gentoo but it's not being used.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nouveau
Should I compile Nouveau (NVIDIA) cards as a module instead?

>>57217498
Do your homework

>>57217650
lsmod to check if the nouveau module is running in the kernel.

Did you do the Kernel and Driver sections?
Did you already recompile your kernel?
Did you configure X?

>>57217770
lsmod doesn't show nouveau. I have installed the drivers and configured the kernel as told on the wiki. What kind of config should be done for X?

>>57217847
if you stuck at tty run:

 # Xorg :0 -configure 

then

 # cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/ 

that should give you a basic config to modify
otherwise in xorg.conf, devices section; card change driver to nouveau

I was a long time Linux user until I switched to OS X about 4 years ago. I've been trying to find reasons to ditch macOS on my MacBook Air but haven't been able to do so. What are some things that Linux does better than macOS? To me macOS is not only as powerful as Linux but looks better and adds a ton of ready to go options for you. What am I missing here?

/g/ I heeded your advice and installed Linux. Started with Ubuntu and it's pretty comfy I guess but I am always having little problems and finding good advice online is often crap shoot, usually making things worse than better. Every "project" I've attempted, from configuring wine to uninstalling bloat, has not worked out. Even though I followed the directions perfectly.

Should I move to Arch? I'm willing to put in the work to learn, but only if I get a better result. It might be a hassle but it seems like a more coherent distro with actually rational people behind the wiki and what not.

I literally refuse to use Win10, so I'm all-in with Linux now.

Hit me with the hard truths /g/. My body is ready.

>>57219179

if you cant do ubuntu you definitely cant do arch

Guy from last thread who was having trouble installing Manjaro on my X220--getting an error when creating the new partition over empty space.
Pic related.

Use the following command:

gedit

At your terminal, use the command to suspend the gedit program

Enter the command as your answer to this step and explain the results.


Okay. Here is the scenario. When I open gedit through the terminal, it doesn't go back to the command line. I then press CTRL-C to get back to the command line and it exits gedit. What am I doing wrong? I'm using fedora if it matters.

>>57219504
Press Ctrl+Z to stop the task and then bg to background the task, this lets you continue to use the terminal, you can also use fg to bring it to the foreground again.

how do i use this from the command line to accept something from standard input and then run on that?

(define (rh s i) 
  (if (<  i 10) 
    (begin
      (display i "/n")
      (rh s (+ i 1))
    )
    (#t)
  )
)

(define (repeater s) (rh s 0))

doesn't work, just says unbound variables hello and world

Honestly, I could never understand why people like the font rendering on Windows. I had some trouble with it a few years back, really wanted an alternative but everytime Microsoft decided to bring a new OS they would bring the same exact font rendering.

On PPI under 100 it really shows, Windows fonts are overall way too fucking sharp. If people bitch about OSX having these blurry fonts, they are damn more readable than the headache inducing shit that's on Windows.

>>57223310
I checked it out on a VM before I went dual boot (Win 10 for gaymen, Arch for everything else), I recommend you do the same.
Everything is very well documented, you can use Jewtube guides for your first install on a VM if you don't know how to partition and install. Using a custom installer is not necessary, everything is quite intuitive if you think about what you are doing/is being done.

I'm trying to use Fedora 25 on my computer and I'm running into an issue. On my display it says 'input not in range'. I have an HD 5850 which I believe is the cause of the problem since it also does it with Ubuntu, but I plugged in an old display and it works fine.

Any ideas?

I don't even know why they implemented this. Why would I need search results from Amazon and other unrelated crap when I search for programs or files? What's the next step? Amazon alternative results in case grep can't fine something?

Does it show you the GRUB bootloader? Or just load right in to windows?

It is better than windows.
Read the sticky and make it better though.

How can I do that if I can't use my display?

Trying to install pianobar for some tunes, but I keep getting this error.
I've tried apt-get install libao4, etc, but they are indeed uninstallable for some reason

Does gentoo with non free packages disabled count?

>>57224687
Not him, but couldn't get this to work without installing 93 MB of gstreamer-codec bloat for browser H264 playback. Also, works without disabling sandboxing, but maybe that's already disabled on Ubuntu's kernel.

Thoughts?

I have a large folder I need to transfer from one harddrive running windows, to another running linux. Unfortunately, my backup drive is fucked up, how on earth should I try to copy the files? Zip it and upload somewhere?

On a side note, I fucked up an external drive and /dev/sdb doesn't even show up when I plug it into the USB port, dmesg shows some text indicating that not everything went correctly. How difficult will it be to just wipe the sucker?

Maybe if they added that as a feature, more people would be compelled to learn unix / bash scripting.

>>57226617
I am able to look past the petty drama conjured from literally nothing, because Libreboot is the last bastion of freedom for the x86 platform.

This can't replace a GUI file manager. It's actually less productive searching for something command line than doing so visually.

Why is it so hard to install grub on efi for arch? If I were to install ubuntu grub will just work

>>57226744
Sure, but I know where most of my files are, and ls comes right alongside most of the other tools I use (REPLs, compilers, vim, etc.), so it's worth the discomfort.
If I'm really fucking lost I'll use a file manager. Also, file managers make mounting drives a lot fucking easier.

>>57226755
It's working fine for me, but I know jack shit about EFI. What's the issue?
