I don't know if you're still there but I found that interesting, so here's a one-liner:

find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name "*.ko" -exec modinfo -0l {} \; -exec echo -e " - {}" \; | sort > list

It finds ALL the modules, uses modinfo to get their license, sorts by license and outputs everything to a file. I made it on Debian so you may have to modify it a little but it should work on every distribution.

>>57238900
install funtoo

>>57239422
I'd grep for firmware + ucode. Some modules are in fact GPL licensed but include nonfree firmware.

Anyone know how to get Battle.net to work on Arch? Shit refuses to connect on Wine, spams me with errors.

>>57239811
Can't see any Arch users.

>>57239757
Wouldn't they have to be two separate modules, with the free one having the non-free one as a dependency? Then you could use depmod and find if the free module depends on a non-free module.

>>57240435
No, export, as the name implies, exports the variable to child shells.

From bash

The dude just doesn't understand how environments with bash works, hes citing an article thats talking about the scripts that actually set up the bash environment and has nothing to do with exporting a variable in a specific shell, it doesn't effect scripts because they setup their own environment.

>>57240821
I'm the dude you fucking retard.

Do this >>57240781

It affects the script.

>>57240845
No, it doesn't.
garbage environemnt variables don't pass on to another bash shell.
Your shit isn't setup properly.

>>57240859
Try it then, do a webm like you did a minute ago. When you execute bash inside bash it creates a subprocess (not a subshell) that will inherit exported variables.

>>57240895
Put
#!/bin/bash
at the top of your script and try it again.

>>57241059
that's nice sweety

>>57241059
I used bash because you did but there are other shells you know. It's very common for people to use "sh script.sh" and by exporting PS1, that script will now have a PS1 variable that it does not need to have. Which goes back to the central point that you shouldn't export PS1 because it's only relevant in your current shell, you should only export variables that need to be exported.

>>57241239
A script that checks to see if the shell isn't interactive isn't going to be affected either way because its a fucking interactive shell with PS1.

Just admit you were parroting shit that wasn't relevant and move on.

>>57241271
>scripts never fork or detach themselves

Why would you export if you don't have to? Just admit it's a bad practice and move on.

What's a good notifications applet I can use on my i3bar?

>>57241575
Depends. The fact that you're using Linux alone can be a pretty big fingerprint.

If you want to be anonymous, make yourself look as indistinguishable from the average user

>>57241575
yes and no. unless you know exactly what you are doing your online fingerprint sticks out like a sore thumb. true anonymity is using sudo names and using normie systems hiding in plain sight.

Are there any major differences between linux distros? Like let's say Sublime Text imposslible to run on certain ones? I tried to use linux 15 years ago, but back then every program was compiled using the terminal commands from the tar.gz compressed files, now there are package menagers, .deb and all other kinds of crazy shit.

So I'm trying to install LXqt to give it a spin, (normally used KDE), and it looks like all signs point for me to use connman instead of networkmanager.
I don't really feel like ditching networkmanager though, is there any way to make lxqt work with networkmanager instead of connman?

>>57244181
I tried lxqt some weeks ago and I don't recall having issues with networkmanager

>>57244069

Of course there are differences between Linux distributions, that's why they're there.

Yes, Sublime Text can be installed on all of them. Most "major" packages are available on all distributions via the repository/package manager. If they're not, compile/install it yourself.
The availability of specific packages isn't a good reason to choose a distribution. Most distributions offer pretty much the same "big" packages. For the minor packages that are missing, it's easy to get them yourself, while benefiting from the other core features which define a distribution (and not losing those during the switch).

>>57244384

Do you know what else is a good source? Text which mentions the 5 major distributions worth using. Distrowatch is a collection of distributions that you should avoid (except for the 5 major ones).
There is no valid reason for those shitty, niche distributions to be used by people other than those creating them.

config file in your home dir have other names like

.mpdrc
.conkyrc

.mpd/config

Consult the config files' man pages for the exact name. if you start the associated program as a normal user and not from init/inetd they will look for this config file first.

I thought I knew the basics of Linux but I've been struggling with what's supposed to be a simple thing for days

I have a program in Eclipse cdt, written in C, and I can compile it and run it. But when I try to add another third party library to it to use some of it's functions I can't compile it or the new functions won't work.

I've tried stuff written in tuitorials , But I still don't understand what the problem is or the logic behind this make process, please anyone offer any advice or a link to a guide

>>57244980
the mp4 container doesn't support opus, you need to output to one that does, such as mkv

I seriously doubt they're ironic. This one certainly isn't and it's relatively new.

>css
The worst part is that the GTK2 themes don't use CSS, but some other custom made syntax and it looks like a pain in the ass to learn it (together with custom theme engines).
Now I'm grateful that normal and tame themes exist (like Adwaita which always works).

>>57245040
Thanks, that worked. Is opus the 'best' audio format, right? And h265/x265 the 'best' video format?

ffmpeg -i VID_20151121_161826.mp4 -c:v libx265 -c:a  libopus -x265-params crf=28 out.mkv

Are these settings okay?

>>57245040
Also it seems to be working but while encoding it came up with some warnings

e.g.

Past duration 0.831993 too large
Past duration 0.833656 too large    1272kB time=00:00:18.07 bitrate= 576.4kbits/s    
Past duration 0.835320 too large
Past duration 0.836998 too large
Past duration 0.838661 too large
Past duration 0.840324 too large
Past duration 0.838326 too large
Past duration 0.841988 too large    1284kB time=00:00:18.07 bitrate= 581.7kbits/s    
Past duration 0.845665 too large
Past duration 0.844994 too large

>>57245069
>Is opus the 'best' audio format, right? And h265/x265 the 'best' video format?
pretty much, yea

>Are these settings okay?
they're extremely basic, you're mostly going off of defaults, ffmpeg defaults tend to be pretty low/conservative
64k opus + crf28 x265 is pretty low quality

>>57245082
try "-vsync 1" (after input)

>>57244999
Never used eclipse cdt, I usually just use the terminal to compile stuff, or use a custom makefile, but generally, when you want to use a third party library you have to
-install it
-include it on your project
-modify your makefile or build options


For example, if you want to do some 2D stuff with the SDL, you'll have to install the dev version of the library (apt install libsdl2-dev), add #include <SDL2/SDL.h> and then you'll have to modify your makefile and add the compile option -lSDL2. On an IDE if you don't use a custom makefile, you should have something like project > settings > compiler > compiler option or something equivalent.

The reality:

Oh you again. Proves how boring your life is for actively springing on a specefic distro.

The kernel parameters can be set according to your autism spectrum before installation. Not that you would know because you never really installed Arch.

Employed people use a kernel that works.

>packages twice as huge as on other distros,

Wrong. I always give you a simple example: install screenfetch. It's just a bash script. However, debian decides to install scrot as a dependency. The repo of debian is bloated no matter what you do with your package manger, it's not going to change anything on debian repo servers.


>the only lightweight thing on Arch is the non-existant installer.
If you need an installer there is architect, arch anywhere and antergos.

Text installers are objectively far more flexible

Community memes don't define the distribution, technical choices by the
developers do. It's clearly not based on what you say it is, and *never*
has been. It has always used significantly more disk space and a
measurable amount of additional memory than Debian and especially Gentoo
as a consequence of keeping things simple (again, from a development

Nope. Python3 is Python3. Python is still Python and it should stay Python to be compatible with older programs that use the #!/usr/bin/env python bang before python3 was a thing.

>>57246411
most things get incompatible updates from time to time

what happens is that the current version is just called by the program name, and any older ones needed by older software is given a new name

it is gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10 in particular

it just completely fails to compile

maybe I should just disable the ffmpeg use flag on gst-plugins

I do not know if I have ever used gst-plugins with ffmpeg before

>>57246812
Debian, the universal operating system.

>>57246852
if it's universal, why aren't i using it?

>>57246838
He said lightweight.

>>57246867
Arch is lightweight
>>57246852
Debian is bloated

Go back to your girls club.

>>57246894
It does. Unless >>57246547 is an idiot I assume he was just talking about how many packages are available (which I don't really know for Fedora).

But do I have to check my male programmer privilege checklist first?

>>57247018
mansplaining is an actual issue desu

>>57246989
Arch sucks dick, but my understanding is that the other women groups aren't literally a part of the core … except Debian where they're official.

Is a font supposed to show up in the fc-list before Xresources can find it? And if so how to I make it appear on the fc-list? I've moved the font I want to .local/share/fonts then ran sudo fc-cache -vf, it finds the directory and the 14 fonts in it. Now what?

overrun is an exaggeration but yes debain is loaded with faggots that will get mad over shit that is related to them

Windows doesn't have this issue, No wonder it will never be "year of the linux desktop".
Guess if you want to get real work done you use Windows PC's

>>57247132
What about gentoo? Is it any good?

>>57247188
Takes too much time to patch security updates, so no

>>57247188
Average

>>57247204
I'm an anonymous hacker myself so I think I'm perfectly capable of patching that myself/uninstalling the software if need be
>>57247222
Could you elaborate?

>>57247241
i haven't had any note worth issues with it so its 'meh' when i compare it to other distros i've used

Want to switch to debian and keep files I already have. Can I just make a partition for those files (music and images) or can linux not read a windows partition?

>>57247188
i like gentoo the only problem i have is that my i54200u takes 1,5 hours to compile webkitgtk

>>57247279
>when i compare it to other distros i've used
What would you recommend then?
>>57247310
I don't care about that since I'm a NEET hacker and I have a lot of free time and multiple PCs (computers)

>>57247294
linux can read windows partition (with ntfs2g) the ony problem is writing to windows partition because every now and then windows fucks up during shutdown and does not unmount the partition properly. if that happens usually booting into windows and shutting down again fixes this but its still quite anoying

>>57247364
so the best course of action would be to partition my files, install debian, and then copy over the files instead of leaving a windows partition?

>>57247455
if you do not plan to dual boot yes.
otherwise thats just wasted space.
