Glad I made the switch to Devuan, and purged my system of systemd

I'm stupid as fuck and very new and i'm trying to set up my default music directory in moc

I think the problem is the directory i'm trying to set has a space in the name, i'm not sure though

The config file has really detailed instructions included in the comments and I've seen someone else's completed example but i can't tell what i'm doing wrong

>>57346588
It depends what processor. If it has a intel processor, than its as easy as any other laptop. But if its made by another brand, its an arm processor can will be a little harder to install. If your going to be installing on arm, Gentoo is a much better choice since all the packages work on arm because their compiled, and Gentoo has all the drivers for chromebooks since Chome OS is based off Gentoo,

Not only does NSA use a distro from red hat, the NSA is red hat's muber one customer. So if red hat doesn't do what the NSA says, they may go bankrupt. Plus the NSA already tried numerous times to backdoor the linux kernel, which shows they want a linux backdoor.

>>57346299
Wayland is shit, theres no need for it to require systemd. >>57346604

I have no idea what graphics driver I'm using, nor what libraries to install for, say, OpenGL. The package names change from distro to distro, and there appear to be multiple parts to graphics drivers (kernel, userspace, and some other crap). Arch wiki recommends "modesetting" for Intel graphics, but other sources don't. Searching my package list on Ubuntu, there's so much goddamn bloat installed that I don't even know where to start.

1. Red Hat is pays Linus and it's the biggest code contributor to Linux. Don't like it? Fuck off to other OSes
2. If NSA wants, just about any company may go bankrupt.
3. Linux backdoors already existed before systemd came into place

My advice: Take your tinfoil garbage to /x/

>>57346710
OpenGL isn't something you install.
You already have it.

>Red Hat is pays Linus and it's the biggest code contributor to Linux. Don't like it? Fuck off to other OSes
Red Hat pays Linus because he has stockin their company, not because he's employed there like Lennart. Also Linus has told that he has refused backdoors in the linux kernel from the NSA.
>If NSA wants, just about any company may go bankrupt.
No, because not all companies service the NSA.
>Linux backdoors already existed before systemd came into place.
In some linux software, yes, chrome and skype are proven examples. But the linux kernel and GNU software are clean of backdoors because the RMS and Linus have both said they will never implement backdoors into their software.
>Systemd is used in RMS approved distros. Fuck off
No, not all RMS approved distros, Dragora and Gnuinos are some examples. Also, how does that prove systemd is good? The criteria for a FSF approved istro is whether it is 100% free software, not whether it has not backdoors. N o t - a n - a r g u m e n t .

>>57346804

Guys. Systemd is free software. Millions of autists are triggered and audit the code night and day. Calm down.

$0.05 have been deposited in your account.

>Red Hat pays Linus
Only beacuse he has stock in the company, not because they employ Linus. So they have no control over Linus' livehood beacuse he has many other companies not associated with the NSA that pay him. While red hat is Lennarts only source of income, so if he doesn't do what red hat says, they'll kick him out and replace him with another code monkey. Also LINUS HAS RESISTED THE NSA, he has said that the NSA contacted him about putting a backdoor in the kernel, and HE REFUSED, multiple times.
>That's why I said just about. If NSA really wants they can intercept and inject spyware binaries in your precious snowflake downloads in no time
I would notice if they did so beacuse then the file size will be different, or the SHA sum will be different. Also I'm not that big of a target for th NSA for them to do such a thing.
>Doesn't negate the fact that systemd IS used in distros that are RMS approved
There's no such thing as RMS approved distros, I think you thinking about FSF approved distros. And those distro's only requirement is that they only include 100% free software, not whether they don't have backdoors. So it doesn't prove anything.

>>57347034

>>57347098
Arch's slogan may be "simple and lightweight" but it isn't. It's packages are twice (if not more) as huge as on other distros because Arch doesn't package splitting.

Yes you did because the context was that your opinion is that redhat has control over Linus beacuse they pay him, and I gave you reason why redhat doesn't control Linus. Also I dont care whether you asked for reasons or not, I'm proving my point using reasons, just like you.
>NSA is not the only buyer of Redhat.
But its the largest buyer by far, and them leaving might end in Redhat downsizing so much, they go bankrupt.
>And why the fuck do you keep bringing up "NSA contacted him about putting a backdoor in the kernel"? Other Linux backdoors - heck, hardware level backdoors are now in place
Hardware level backdoors are not in Linus' control, but they can be avoided by using a libreboot system. There might be backdoors in the linux kernel contained in the binaries, but I believe everyone should use a deblobed linux kernel.
>SHA sum can be forged, newfag
No, because, the file will become larger with the binary, for it to be the same size they need to cut out a part of the original file which will be noticable, and to have the program have a similar structure to the original data, it would require changing binary, making it unusable.
>Are you implying fsf approved distros are not RMS approved?
They are, but that does not prove that systemd has no backdoors because, not having backdoors is not a requirement for fsf distros.

Centrist means your don't lean on any side of the political scale. Libertarian means your in support of a smaller government with less control over people's lives.

How do I stop an AD user from su'ing to root? I'm consulting with a company that has a user that keeps fucking up config files via su because, for some reason, the same password is being used for root and the user that their platform is installed with and launches under. The pres isn't keen on changing the root password so my solution is to lock him out of su and force him to use sudo so I can better keep track of his bullshit.

Both UNIX and Linux have a group called wheel. If user is member of this group she can use su command
Now open /etc/pam.d/su PAM config file:
# vi /etc/pam.d/su

Append line as follows:
auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so use_uid
Save and close the file.

Because of above setting only members of the administrative group wheel can use the su command.

make up your mind

I have a dual-drive external USB enclosure, and it works plug and play like all USB storage does on "GNU"/Linux. I can copy, read, whatever to each drive, and mount each driver separately. But when I try to copy from one external drive to another, everything shits itself and the drive being copied from shuts down, while the drive being copied to continued running, doing "something". It doesn't matter what I use, be it rsync, or whatever Thunar uses to copy files, but it happens and rsync/Thunar become unresponsive. Is this a problem with the external drive controller not being able to transfer internally, or is it something with my system not communicating properly with it?

>>57349881
Gentoo is the least botnet OS that is the most functional. If you want even less botnet, go with freeBSD or openBSD

hi guys, I'm semi-new to GNU/Linux so bear with me:
I have a crappy laptop with Arch installed on it and I want to program when I'm not at home. The problem is that it takes forever to compile due to my crappy CPU. I have an old computer with a 3770k lying around and I've wondered, whether I can remotely compile with that computer instead.
1. This is exactly what SSH is for, right? I only need terminal applications (nvim, clang, gdb, perf, ...) anyway.
2. Which distro should I install if I only plan to use it that way? I suppose Xorg isn't even necessary then, right?

Do we have a GNU/Linux chatroom?

I went from Windows to Gnome recently, - an enriching decision. Chatting w/ the pros would be a great way to learn.

>>57350315
a further question:
3. Does that computer only having WLAN connecton hinder my intention? I've done the wpa_supplicant stuff before but it was cumbersome

I threw Arch Linux ARM on my Raspberry Pi 3B and am looking for cool uses for it. Ideas?

>>57350156

1. Arch is a binary distro, you are not compiling. There's something wrong with your internet connection.
2. Yes, that's one of the few functionality of SSH. But for that to work you need a static public IP which will cost you money. You can install Arch over SSH as well though.

not technically a requirement, and whether someone has a dynamic ip or whether it costs anything depends on ones ISP, in some places static is default, others it's free to get one

If you're using a "supported" version of Debian, they'll most likely patch the kernel (backporting) with the fix.

qtconfig is only for Qt4 programs.
How did you set the current desktop? If I remember correctly, that also only works for Qt4 programs and only for the icons.
To get Qt5 programs to use your GTK theme or any other, you have to use an environment variable to tell it (documented on the internet, Arch wiki for example). That variable also affects icons and the file dialog to choose.
There is also a section on the Arch wiki Qt page titled "Icon theme not applied".

Why should I upgrade?

Better CPU utilization, better sftp, bug fixes and no dirtycow. Same reason why you are not using firefox 4.0

actually it took more like 5 minutes, most of the time i was installing qt bloat, shopping on amazon and checking out how qtcreator functions compared to GTK.
you could do all of it in one line though. probably in less than 2. but really, i never encountered a situation where i would need to compile myself with debian. apart from the shitty software you mentioned and suckless programs that i wanted to compile.

by the way, removing all of the builddeps was like 600mb, fuck your qt.

rainbow screenfetch how

>>57352141
Pipe the text program (in this case screenfetch) through a program called lolcat:
screenfetch | lolcat

>>57352173
I heard piping stuff exposes it to hackers. Should I disconnect from the internet first?
