I'm a little paranoid they might hear me but I can't shower while everyone is sleeping anyway.

Why would I put on music if I don't want to shower right now for noise reasons?
That's actually a good one. I might try that out.

It's perfectly usable and has more sane default settings, a built-in terminal emulator, and other minor conveniences. But if you've already configured Vim to your liking, then there's probably not much Neovim has to offer. They're nearly identical from an end-user perspective.

I've made a venn diagram to show how similar and different Vim and Neovim are from eachother. See the attached image.

>>57414174
If you want to right now, I'd suggest public toilets, especially those everybody can use, if you have those close, otherwise a restaurant's one

>>57414191

>built-in terminal emulator

Basically, terminal emulator -> neovim -> terminal emulator? I can have a terminal emulator in the program that I'm running inside a terminal emulator? What for?

>>57414250
>I can have a terminal emulator in the program that I'm running inside a terminal emulator?
Yes. You can run Neovim inside Neovim inside Emacs inside Neovim and so on.

>What for?
Purely convenience. When you have all the output of your terminal emulator in a buffer within the editor, you can much more easily manipulate and use that text within the editor. I guess it makes for a nicer workflow for some people.

So I'm trying to configure smplayer to work with livestreamer, but can't find anything with an issue like this.

I think it has something to do with the pipe and smplayer, since MPV works just fine. When I try to play a stream from shitbox under smplayer, it doesn't even play. Just gives me this:

Playing: -
[file] Reading from stdin...
Failed to recognize file format.
Exiting... (Errors when loading file)

(Of course after some other stuff that doesn't seem relevant)

Anybody have a suggestion? Not a big deal I can just tweak up the MPV settings a bit.

I managed to switch to the intel gpu via the driver manager.
So the updated nvidia driver is the fault.
the update manager can show the previous version (View > History of updates).
I'll be using the instructions from this thread

to revert to the old driver.

Any ideas how I can add a "Move To" option to PCManFM context menu? There is like only one forum thread out there on how to do this

>>57414959

People already told you that a window manager has nothing to do with this. It depends on the GUI toolkit the program is using and its default file-dialog.
You cannot change that, unless you rewrite the program completely.

Quick question guys: I want to install Debian from an USB stick but the problem is that the installer assigns /dev/sda to the USB and my SSD becomes /dev/sdb. If I then choose to install GRUB onto the MBR of /dev/sdb on the reboot it will say "unknown filesystem" for all the partitions. Fixing from recovery/chroot is not possibile because the USB is always automatically mounted as /dev/sda causing the root to always be /dev/sdb. I don't have access to a CD drive. I just had to reinstall Ubuntu 16.04.1 because its sane installer assigns the devices names in a sane way. Is it virtually impossibile for me to install Debian right now?

Hey /g/, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?

This'll sound beyond retarded, but the laptop I got for college came with Windows 10. I dual boot on my home PC, but because of the laptop's autistic EFI problems I can't have both Linux and Windows dual booting, only one or another. I've tried it with mint, Ubuntu, and solus. You think if I switched to legacy bootloader mode, reinstalled windows 10 and then Linux it would function properly? I've narrowed it down to the bootloader not recognizing one or the other. This kind of horseshit is exactly the reason I was hesitant about buying a laptop in the first place.

This ss

anons, I just finished trying out KDE and XFCE on Linux Mint coming from MATE. KDE was buggy and imo quite ugly, and XFCE lacked a network manager, and when I installed WICD network manager it would claim to connect to the network but I still had no connection.

KDE breaks and XFCE lacks basic features. Also KDE was noticeably slower than MATE and XFCE.

I installed ubuntu 16.04 recently and can't connect to my router. Neither wired nor wireless. I know my wireless card works as I booted into a live debian and it worked. When I boot into live ubuntu it doesn't work either. I tethered my mobile network into ubuntu and it worked. Any advice? I'm desperate.

I successfully updated the kernel settings and installed the new kernels 5 times so far but no matter what I do, the kernel stays identical now.

Why doesn't the Linux Foundation get sued for violating the GPL? (GPL licensed modules which contain copyrighted firmware)

>>57418983
Did you 'make silentoldconfig'?

>>57419305
Only the copyright holder can sue for license violation. Linus rather works with people than sues them, it's probably also like that the other way around.

>>57419340
Makes sense, thanks.

>>57419335
No, always

make menuconfig

.
Also the new kernel is getting a panic: there's an init but it can't be executed (error -8 - that's ENOEXEC)...

>>57419369
Whenever you copy a config to a new kernel always run silentoldconfig. It goes though what options have changed or been added.

You can then use menuconfig to change over things if you want.

>>57418747
Solved. Ended up just using the Synaptics conf instead of xmodmap and it made natural scrolling work on everything

>>57419422
I did not copy any settings. I changed the settings via

>>57416657

Gnome2, xfce and mate are all significantly more customizable than kde5. Moreover, kde4 is less customizable than the other listed des, but more customizable than kde5. kde3(.5.10) is the most customizable of all though.

>>57419681

>>57419702
I was using xfce before plasma, and customization was a pain. Multi-monitor broke all the time, could not set hotkeys to work across screens. Menus were non intuitive.
In plasma I had zero trouble and did not have to search my ass of for custom configuration files.

>>57419848
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Linux is deprecated. https://www.redox-os.org/ is the future. Prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.

what happened in 2015?

So I just switched to irssi but I noticed that it lags a lot more than hexchat ever did.
Someone told me that in weechat they had to disable some kind of anti flood setting, but I can't seem to figure out the equivalent in irssi.
Anyone else ever face this issue before?

>>57420644
I've had nothing BUT issues with irssi. Among other problems, it sometimes magically stops updating the interface altogether, sometimes lines are doubled, sometimes the display gets garbled, sometimes input isn't sent correctly, etc.

>>57420655
are there any other good terminal irc clients?
I tried weechat but it didn't let me open two windows at once.

>>57420376
GIMP is great, except how it makes you close it twice by default (click once to close the open document and a second time to close GIMP).

What? pavucontrol doesn't remove the need for alsamixer. Pulse works on top of ALSA.

>>57420614

>>57420461
If you wanted to watch DVDs or watch various video streaming sites or play flash games, etc.

Right and wrong. Pulse works on top of ALSA, but when you use pulse on top of alsa, it's better to control pulse instead of alsa.

>streaming sites

Also >not streaming with mpv
>flash games
Only legit reason, though I don't play those

>>57420725
Not wrong at all. Pulse doesn't even expose access to the full feature set (hardware volume controls, mutes, boosts, etc) of your sound card.

Just as an example, in my experience it's pretty common to have to open alsamixer to un-mute a sound device when you're first setting up Linux and trying to get sound working.

>>57420072
How do I go about setting that up? Do i have to open a ssh connection every time I want to sync them

>>57420773
>Pulse doesn't even expose access to the full feature set (hardware volume controls, mutes, boosts, etc) of your sound card.
It does. You propabliy just didn't read the documentation.
>in my experience it's pretty common to have to open alsamixer to un-mute a sound device
Why not unmuting it with pulse?

>>57420888
Since were talking bout pulse
Is there a way to set the "max" volume from 100% to 150%,the only other cap i found.
Pavucontrol goes to 150% but using pulses auto step option it caps out at 100%
I have a headset with a switchbar and it can only set the volume to 100% despite pulse supporting 150% on the slider

>>57420909
I use two hotkeys.
pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -- -5%"
pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -- +5%"
There's no limit in volume; you can go up to whatever, 1337% if you want.

>some random shit distro with a shit tier DE
>'only cares that it works'

This is a total disconnect. If you're moving from Windows and you want an OS that works, you want Ubuntu LTS with the standard Unity DE.

>>57413992

I botched a KDE installation and now I can't install anything.

kde-telepathy-minimal : Depends: kde-config-telepathy-accounts (>= 15.04.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


apt-get -f install doesn't work

The package kubuntu-desktop didn't install properly, so now I have a bunch of kde files sitting on my disk doing nothing, giving me error messages for no reason.

>>57423032

You're going to be doing a lot more work to fix issues introduced in a rolling release than you would be doing to fix the issues caused by a new LTS every 2 years.

You don't need to reinstall if you don't want to. There is a version upgrade function.

https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

>>57425638

"Better" is subjective.
Personally I want every package to be managed by my package manager. That allows easier installation, updating and removal. Things installed with PIP aren't under Pacman's supervision.

>>57425710
Then what if you want to install things that isn't in AUR or the repo?

>>57425638

PIP is already in Arch's repositories. I suggest you search the repositories first before running random installation scripts. Stop being stuck in the Windows mindset.

>>57425715

You create a package yourself. It doesn't get easier than on Arch.
Personally, I don't use the AUR, because I find it neater to use my own PKGBUILDs. You can consult the one from the AUR for hints and then tweak it according to your tastes.
