"When they go low, we go high."
-Melania Trump

does anyone use Gentoo on a VM, specifically virtualbox?

Everything works fine besides having the ability to go into seamless mode being greyed out. I mounted the guest additions CD with no help. I don't remember if I had this problem with other GNU/Linux distros and I can't seem to find an answer to fix this online

>>57303812
Can you use Gentoo with Busybox? If so why should it be called GNU/Linux?

>>57303812
big deal, he would say the same thing about poor Debian

Stallman is an activist so he can't really have a pragmatic approach to supporting anything with non free software

>>57303812
It's past your bed time granddad.

>>57303874
Busybox is for embeded systems like smart TVs, nothing for a userland since it isn't a complete replacement.

>>57303761
You're being tested and recruited. Some russians must have seen your 'mad skillz' at ricing. They want to know how skilled you really are.

>>57303936
IVE FAILED OK
JUST GIVE ME BACK MY LINUX

>>57303933
Even so, there is no reason to credit GNU in this case.

Gentoo is about building a system the way you want. So it makes sense that it doesn't have GNU in the name.

>>57304011
Then it shouldn't be called Gentoo Linux because you have use the BSD kernel instead. Do what? Gentoo OS should it be called? (fuck I sound like yoda now)

>>57303874
busybox is part of the system set, but portage requires the GNU coreutils. So if you had a system that didn't need a package manager, you wouldn't need the coreutils, you could just use busybox.

But the coreutils are not the entirety of the GNU operating system. There's the standard C library and compiler, shell, etc. Some can be replaced, but you would still need gcc in the end for some things.

Parabola GNU/kFreeBSD users don't call it Linux (would be retarded, wouldn't it?)

>>57304092
>would be retarded, wouldn't it?
Yes, because everyone would call it freebsd.

>>57304085
busybox is not an operating system, kys
>>57304098
kfreebsd is a kernel which got the name from the OS FreeBSD, newfag

>>57304107
I know, no user would call it gnu anything though, they would call it kfreebsd or freebsd or bsd.

Fact is, the GNU project created the operating system. Add a kernel and it's a combination, not a kernel.

>>57304107

Anyone got some advice for a decent minimal & flat KDE UI?

I use ubuntu for work but Gnome/unity is fucking garbage so I'm looking to swap over and rice out my UI.

Sometimes it seems like my display just dies. I've got a Thinkpad hooked up to an external GPU and then to a monitor. Everything will be on, but there won't be anything at all displaying. I can't seem to switch screens either.

How would I go about even figuring out what's causing this? It's usually not an issue, since I can go in and out of suspend just fine and I usually suspend when I leave. It's just annoying walking away for five minutes and coming back and having nothing.

Whatever, stupid animeposter.

How would I go about recursively finding all files in a folder (that nests multiple folders down) and then execute some command on each file by using both the path and the file name as variables?

Basically I have a folder with a fuck ton of SVG files that I want to convert to PNG the problem is that I don't want them to end up in their respective directory but rather have a general output directory that retains original filenames but not folder structure and I think find & exec won't work in this case since it uses the full path?

Corporations are using your free software for their closed proprietary software and you have no way to prove they're doing it! Free software is for losers that like being exploited.

>>57306230
You can first convert the files so that they are in the same directory as the original ones. After that, move them elsewhere with another command.

>>57306309
Yeah I ended up doing:

find icons -name "*.svg" -type f -exec inkscape -z -e {}.png -w 32 -h 32 {} \;

Then I'll figure out how to move them.

>>57306325
Should be pretty straightforward with find and mv.

>>57306337
Yep, got it.

find icons_test -name "*.png" -type f -exec sh -c 'mv {} output/$(basename {} ".png")' \;

Which means that I could have done the same to solve the original problem but oh well.

how to download all pictures from a 4chan thread with wget?
i tired stuff like this:
[quote]wget -A jpg -r -l1 -nd -P 4chan -p -e robots=off -p http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/...[/quote]
but it only downloads the index file a few times and removes it again because of the -A flag.
When i append the -H flag to allow diffrent hosts, it downloads ALL the images which are currently on 4chan ( goes through all the boards )

>>57306544
Oh, i thought the tag was [quote].
Then its probably this one:

wget -A jpg -r -l1 -nd -P 4chan -p -e robots=off -p http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/..

Newfag with Linux Mint here:
How can I increase the default size of the terminal (CTRL+ALT+T). It's always so fucking small, whenever I open it.

>>57306552

get -H -P 4chan -r -Di.4cdn.org -r -l 1 -U Mozilla -A ".jpg,.jpeg,.png,.gif," -nc -nd --wait 1 --random-wait -e robots=off http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/.. && rm 4chan/*s.*

This is it.
Problem it that it downloads also the small thumbnails which are saved as <filename>s.extension, so i call rm *s.* afterwards.
anyone got another clean solution for that?
when there is a s in the filename it will be removed too ..

>>57307001
Here is my script

curl -s '<thread link here>' | tr -d '\n' | grep -o 'href="//i.4cdn.org/[a-zA-Z0-9]*/[0-9]*.[^\"]*" target='
| sed 's/^.*\/\/\([^\"]*\).*$/\http\:\/\/\1/g'
| sed -n 'g;n;p' | xargs -P3 wget -q

>>57307001
Why the fuck would care about a cleaner solution if you already have a working solution? It's not like the thumbnails add much to the execution time. Keep it simple, stupid.

>>57307026
You didnt get it.
i call rm *s.* after downloading everything.
if the file is called 123.png, the thumbnail is 123s.png which is fine.
but when there is a s in the name, for example 123s123.png (thumbnail 123s123s.png), its going to be removed too.
>>57307019

I was looking for a distro to put on my USB flash drive and someone recommended Slax, and how it's better than puppy.
Anybody used it? or even know how to build Modules for it?

>>57308438

Kill yourself.

>>57308585
have you looked at http://www.slax.org/modules.php

>>57308585
the first time i ever saw linux was slax running off of a 256M flash drive (~2003)

>>57308624
Yes, no mpv and youtube-dl latest update was +3 months ago.
No PoL, though there is wine.
>>57308636
It seems interesting, especially it's module system, and having KDE isn't a bad thing at all.
What's the difference between the ISO for CD/DVD and the ZIP file for USB?

>>57308585
I wouldn't say Slax is better than Puppy. Puppy gives you more options than Slax, there's Puppy based on Slackware, on Ubuntu and there's Puppy for Raspberry Pi. Puppy also doesn't use KDE4.

>>57308752
>there's Puppy based on Slackware, on Ubuntu
Aren't those differnt versions?
Are do you mean DEB files can be installed on puppy as well?

>>57308769
>Aren't those differnt versions?
Yes, the Slackware-Compatible Puppy is called Slacko Puppy.

>Are do you mean DEB files can be installed on puppy as well?
>Puppy 6 is built from Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr packages, has binary compatibility with Ubuntu 14.04 and access to the Ubuntu package repositories.

So you'd recommend puppy over slax.
I want to have my own OS away from my devices on USB flash drive.
That have my FF profile/LibreOffice/python/ffmpeg/mpv/youtube-dl/Printer (HP) support, and copy my main OS config to it.
I know puppy can do these and more.
But what advantage it will provide over slax?

I don't get how a wiki page made in 2011 means Debian = SJWs. Not to mention both of the pages people like to bring up (AntiHarassment and DebianWomen) were made by the same woman (https://wiki.debian.org/AmayaRodrigo).

Where does the linux file system stash network drives? I want to move a file from my local computer to my nas with the command line.

It works fine with the gui but I dont know how to access that through the file system itself. Where would it be located I thought mnt maybe but its empty. That must be only local media.

>>57310322
It is a CIFS share from my freenas box by the way.

How to check what requires qt4 in my system with pacman?

Have an Intel HD 4000 and using a laptop with a screen resolution of 1366x768 while using an external "1080p capable" (downsizes) 768p TV.

Windows 7, at least, makes it comfortable since I can output at 768 and it seems to "upscale it" or weird shit for my TV.
What I've tried on Linux doesn't seem to come close to this result, and even when I've gotten close another problem crops up.

My TV's video/picture settings differ based on what it is receiving (over HDMI). Windows' shenanigans gives me more options that I actually use which straight up disappear and reflect the options usually available on the VGA input.

Yes, like that other idiot who installed everything from the AUR, replacing some packages from the official repository and then complaining about things not working.
You're an idiot who most likely doesn't even use Arch. Any normal Arch user exposes the AUR for the shit it is and then just creates the few packages himself he needs. Only pretentious idiots who want to feel cool on the internet praise the Arch user repository.

Let me explain.

The meme people are falling for:
>Arch Linux - A simple and lightweight Linux distribution

The reality:
Kernel bloated with literally all modules available, packages twice as huge as on other distros, the only lightweight thing on Arch is the non-existant installer.

>>57311124
so do i.
i have 49 things installed that are from the AUR, a couple of which i maintain myself

i certainly wouldn't suggest blindly trusting things from the AUR, but at the same time, if an AUR package automates what you would to do to manually install a package anyway, why not just use the AUR package?

despite what some argue, i do not use arch because i want to make my life harder

If you really want to be light-weight you need to be user-unfriendly.
If you're not you could still go lighter.

there's a compromise between lightweight and user friendly that you have to make. it depends on how you define lightweight.

>>57311357
>Yes, it is written systemd, not system D or System D, or even SystemD. And it isn't system d either. Why? Because it's a system daemon, and under Unix/Linux those are in lower case, and get suffixed with a lower case d. And since systemd manages the system, it's called systemd. It's that simple. But then again, if all that appears too simple to you, call it (but never spell it!) System Five Hundred since D is the roman numeral for 500 (this also clarifies the relation to System V, right?). The only situation where we find it OK to use an uppercase letter in the name (but don't like it either) is if you start a sentence with systemd. On high holidays you may also spell it sÿstëmd. But then again, Système D is not an acceptable spelling and something completely different (though kinda fitting).

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

People that use linux don't have jobs or actually have to do anything besides waste time on a broken OS for some menial sense of acomplishment, sorry it took you this long to figure out OP

You're obviously a fucking idiot. I work for Siemens and we use GNU/Linux on many of our industrial automation products.

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!
