THIS BUG STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY
6 Years old bug
Affects 90% of users.
In a fairly important subsystem.
STILL NO FIX TO THIS DAY
EXPLAIN THIS LINTARDS

>>57479169
Oh, almost forgot to mention. "There are no current plans to fix this issue" t. linux maintainers.

>>57479169
Have you tried updating the the latest kernel?

Requesting an answer for >>57479003

>>57479198
Yes. I tried latest stable and latest mainline, too.

>>57479356
Fuck, I keep responding to myself.
This isn't the only problem or even most visible problem with modern linux. If you've ever had to configure the kernel, you'll know that a shitton of normally completely unrelated stuff are unmarked, even often unknown, prereqs for other common modules. For instance, OTG support is very often needed for all USB support even though that makes no sense. I'd love to be able to move to something that's not linux, but everywhere I look it's either linux, closed-source+botnet or 20 years deprecated.

>>57479169
>6 years old bug
Classic Brown.

If I create a live hard drive, would it be fast enough for daily use or am I too optimistic?

>>57479356
those are the same thing you mong.
but it doesn't matter because you are just reposting some big that doesn't effect you for the sake of bait.
>>57479374
OTG support isn't even relevant for anything other then the android kernel.

You deserve what you get. I suspend and resume my laptop often times and it never hangs.

>>57479374
I mean, it's kinda subjective. I don't care about hibernation, so it isn't a showstopper for me. Nor have I had to compile the kernel for the last 5 years, nowadays distros do a good job at shipping something that works for everyone out of the box.

Besides, there's always the open-source BSDs, which are usually fairly good as long as there are drivers for your hardware. One of my laptops runs FreeBSD and it works pretty well.

>>57479459
but neither 4.9-rc4 nor 4.8.7 are 3.2???

>>57479466
I'd use a BSD if they weren't literally 20 years behind in hardware support. By the time they support skylake we'll be using quantum processors in the home.

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.

>>57480170
The icon size settings in there only effect the side pane. You change the size in the main view by using ctrl + +/-
and this is as large as it goes.

Dolphin has a scaling setting that can get pretty huge. I think caja also does. Don't forget that you have to change the thumbnail cache setting and max size to make it work correctly.

I'm actually using terminus too and work with Japanese files in the terminal a lot.

I don't know if things show up a bit differently depending no which terminal you use or not (I'm using urxvt) but I've found that oddly enough the best looking option seems to be IPAMonaPGothic
That's right, the proportional one, not IPAMonaGothic, which seems to have ugly character spacing when I try to combine it with terminus for some reason.

>>57480339
Thanks. Just found WenQuanYi Bitmap Song for chinese, will try IPAMonaPGothic.

>>57480298
Yes, exactly.

>>57480364

>>57480309
Stop responding to yourself. Nobody gets tricked because the likelihood that there are two people with northpole IQs on 4chan, let alone /g/, is none.

>>57480361
Yeah honestly Chinese seems to have a nicer selection of bitmap fonts. But you know there are a lot of kanji that show up differently depending on whether your font is Japanese or Chinese right?
They use the same unicode codepoints but are different characters, so you should try to stick with actual Japanese fonts

>>57480339
This looks like bad hinting. Do you use infinality patches? If so, you should enable the unhint-cjk patch.

>>57480382
Well the bottom image should be exactly as the font was made as its just bitmaps. The top image is what happens when it tries to embolden the bitmaps because no actual bold version of the font exists.

I'll try your suggestion though and see how it looks.

Posted a thread here:
>>57480352

But I guess I should have posted here. Can anyone help a noob out?

>>57480382
>>57480414
wait, how do I do this? Google doesn't even return a single result for "unhint-cjk"
I have infinality but the only options I see are lcdfilter-default, lcdfilter-legacy, and lcdfilter-light

>>57480251
wqy bitmap is good for Japanese, but it doesn't display half width characters like ﾊ, it's also quite large. If you use urxvt set lineSpace higher. But all round I like it, even English written in it looks good.

mplus also has some good fonts.

Hey /fglt/, I just got a Dell Inspiron 13 5368 and I'm trying to install the non-free version of Debian on it. For some reason, when I get to the "detect network hardware" step, it presents an error saying "No Ethernet card was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your Ethernet card, you can select it from the list". Then there's a long list of drivers. If I just try to continue, it won't let me configure the network and it says I need to load a driver.

My laptop has an Intel wireless card, and I've selected every item on the list but it still doesn't work. I've searched for a solution on Google but can't find anything, the Inspiron 13 5000-series isn't even on the Debian or Arch wiki. Does anyone know how to fix this?

There is also the list of recommended software on the installgentoo wiki.

>>57480492
couple options:

1)install ubuntu instead
2) find an ethernet cord, then install the wireless drivers

>>57480492
Use the nonfree installer or ethernet.

>>57480784
>>57480893

I am using the non-free installer, and my laptop doesn't have an ethernet port. Is there anything else I can do, or should I just give up and install Ubuntu? I really like using apt.

>>57480898
you can.always find out which wifi chip it is, find out what driver it needs manually and then copy the installer (deb) for it on a live install instead of a netinstall then sudo dpkg -i installer.drb

Sounds like it could be a graphics problem.
Have you tried with a new/clean profile?

>>57484179
As I said before, this happens on a fresh installation, there's nothing to clean really. Googling around I've found that Chromium has some issues with hardware acceleration on Nvidia GPUs on Arch, I think I'll deactivate that and see what happens

>>57484152
Most people use scrot, but if you have imagemagick installed, you can also use "import".

>>57484221
"freshly installed" doesn't imply a clean profile, I'm asking questions because the information you have provided doesn't give the answer.

>>57484152
you want exif?

>>57484152
You know you can look at the source?

>>57484262
Sorry. What do you mean vy clean profile exactly?
Also hardware acceleration was disavled vy default so it's not that
Also my other v is vroken vut that has nothing to do with this

>>57484288
Clean profile means a no account, no addons, default settings, no history, no cookies etc.
Try another browser to see if you can reproduce it with those, vivaldi, firefox, chrome.
By graphics problem I meant that your card could be configured incorrectly.

You do not need to read the language to see what it is using to take the picture. It is a script anyway.

>>57484352
It could be a number of things, could be your compositor settings, or chromium itself, or something else. What DE are you using? Maybe also check the arch wiki and see if it has a listing for your graphics card to see if there is anything special you need to do.

If you don't have anything to say, just don't say anything.

>>57484452
There are exceptions to any distro if your hardware requires any special steps.
I don't know what else to suggest though. I don't have a high opinion of manjaro, I have experienced too many weird little problems which make it not worth the time saving. You could try on their forums, might be the best place to ask.

I have a simple doubt.
I'll get a old notebook and try to put it to use with some distro. I'm a newbie with Linux, only used Ubuntu Gnome and other Debian variant, and this time I decided to use something different and fast and come across with Solus, but I don't know what to expect from a Arc variant. I can see that it's faster and use less memory, but what about instalation packages? I was considering either Solus or Apricity Gnome, but really, what are the pitfalls I may encounter with Solus when I wanted to install some program? They have limited compatibility/availability?

>>57484525
Thanks for all your help. I think I'll just surrender to Firefox. And yeah, I have experienced too many weird little provlems with every distro I've tried also.

non-mainstream distros are starved in packages

You can expect "most" existing software to be in the repositories of distributions like Ubuntu (because it's popular) and Arch (because AUR). To a lesser extent Debian and openSUSE. Other distros are either failure from popularity viewpoint and therefore do not have a large community of maintainers willing to keep up with every piece of software of by desing. Fedora doesn't have a lot of packages because some violate their rules regarding inclusion of patented software. Other like rhel/centos have tiny repositories because they are very purpose-specific distros

>>57484649
That would be my guess, but I have no clue, the last time i tried solus it was still in beta.

But yeah, with common package managers like apt and yum/dnf there are shitload of sites dedicated to archieving .deb and .rpm packages for even the most obscure software in case you can't be assed to compile it.
You don't get that with something as recent as solus

That's true, but it's worth noting that sticking to a few of the most popular packages is enough for your average user, considering they usually don't need a lot. Me, I have about 20 top-level packages, and only a single one of those is missing from alpine linux and its tiny repo (and there's a direct replacement available). Not everyone needs 50k+ packages.

If any of those packages is in your world file then I would just uninstall them, do your full update, and then install them again.

I would like to move my /home folder to a different partition because I didn't do it when I installed the OS (I guess that's what I get for being a noob), which is the best way of doing this?

>>57485329
The easiest way:

 sudo move /home to a different partition

>>57485350
That's not really the easiest or the best way. ~/ will still be located in the old location.

>>57485455
then this:

sudo move /home to a different partition and move ~/ to the same location

>>57485486
And how does the system know which partition is ~/?
Why post if you don't really know what you're talking about?

Is kdenlive the best solution out there?

>>57485517
the move command calculates that itself. or you could state explicitly that you want it to calculate the location of ~/ like this:

sudo move /home to a different partition and move ~/ to the same location also calculate the location of ~/ beforehand

I am using Linux Mint 18.
My keyboard is set to English (US, international with dead keys).
There's a difference with the windows keyboard functionally I am used to, where if you press the keys 't, you will print 't. Now, I have to press a space after the ' because it's a dead key.
I still need to be able to type é á etc but do not want to have to do the extra space bar for when I do not need it.
Also, I can not seem to do ç, I get ć instead.

any pointers? I hope I explained it decently..

I don't know much about archiving, but why is it impossible to create a tar file containing a single plaintext file?

What manner of retardation is this? ~ is a shell expansion that gets substituted for your HOME environment variable.

>>57485329
1. Mount the new partition at an arbitrary mount point (example: /mnt/newhome)
2. Copy all of your files from the existing /home to /mnt/newhome. Ensure permissions and ownership are correct.
3. Edit /etc/fstab to mount the new partition at /home
4. Unmount and the new partition and mount it at /home, or reboot.

What's up with all this Solus shilling? What makes it different from Debian or arch?

>>57486005
I haven't used it (I've been meaning to try it out in a VM) but it looks like it's good for people new to linux because it's preconfigured to look good out of the box, unlike a lot of other distros which might give people the wrong impression.

There's a lot of shilling but perhaps its warranted if it its successful in attracting windows users.

>>57485870
Forgive me, it does seem to work. I can extract the file from it no problems. I just thought it strange that it showed it containing 0 bytes.

My mouse and my keyboard get laggy after some time of not doing anything with them (not typing or not moving the mouse). The pointer moves very sluggishly and it's hard to click on things, the keyboard just doesn't register all the keys I press and is sluggish too. If I keep moving the pointer every few seconds the problem doesn't appear and it can stay that way for hours, when it starts acting a reboot fixes it, until it happens again. The keyboard acts the same in TTY as well so I guess it must be a kernel problem (since I also am unable to wake up the computer after suspending it to RAM). I'm using kubuntu 16.04 with 4.4.0-47-generic, I installed it a while ago but it only started showing this behavior since the 9th. I tried this command but it didn't work: sudo sh -c 'echo N > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll'

WTF do I do now? Will I have to reinstall it?

stupid question, i'm currently installing gentoo with luks, where my /dev/sda4 is the encryptet root partition. Now when i try to run grub-mkconfig it gives me an error that the connection to lvmetad.socket failed (i didnt setup lvm) and that the volume group 'cryptroot' couldnt be found. I generated genkernel with the parameter --luks --lvm and set cryptdevices=/dev/sda4:cryptroot in the /etc/default/grub. What else am i missing?

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

>>57486441
Did you remember to add GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y to the /etc/default/grub? Your setup should work, assuming you have a single LUKS partition with no LVM, and that your /boot is encrypted within that same single partition.

>>57486648
Xubuntu

>>57486648
New? Ubuntu
Teen? Arch
Forever alone? Gentoo
Wageslave? Fedora
Retard? Mint
Wonderful person? Debian Sid

>>57486648
as always: debian sid
if you're new, go with ubuntu, don't fall for mint

>>57486673
Sid is great but it breaks a little too often for a "user-friendly" distro. Stable is better for that.

>>57486648
bunsenlabs is pretty cool for out-of-the-box-riced debian
manharo is pretty cool for out-of-the-box-riced arch

that said, if disc space really matters, go with debian doe to package splitting, arch is a bit bloated when it comes to packaging

>>57486727
s/manharo/manjaro/

>>57486759
Whoops, yes; this.

>>57486727
>arch is bloatedd
the fuck
arch comes with literally nothing, you can configure everything to you likings

>>57486790
Common meme, actually, every distro that provides a "netinstall" is basically just as lightweight as Arch, because that's the what Arch is about; it come lightweight (as netinstall only) and simple (bloated packages, because devs don't care about splitting, freedom, etc)

>>57486829
Arch is the only ricable distro, enjoy your default themes.

>>57486790
Arch comes with literally all kernel modules and all packages include documentation.

>>57486441
You can ignore the lvmetad error. Did you install the initramfs with luks support? it should look something like this.

genkernel --lvm --luks --busybox --no-zfs --install initramfs

That worked for me. If you aren't running an lvm you can just drop that part.
Also add this to your /etc/default/grub. You can check the UUID in /dev/disk/by-uuid

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crypt_root=UUID="

>>57486852
wrong, arch just piggy backs off all gentoos rice themes.

>>57486856
arch has linux-libre in the AUR

>>57486878
and?

>>57486905
you can use it if you want

>>57486915
This is nice and all but it doesn't change the package bloat or the default minimal install size to be more reasonable.

>>57486878
So you got linux-libre, next step: get a package manager that can distinguish between free and nonfree such as portage or apt.

>>57486981
you're missing the point, arch is made for people who don't give a fuck

>>57487005
when why does arch provide linux-libre? checkmate

>>57487017
AUR != Arch

>>57487017
Arch is made for simplicity, not for user-freeedom. The simplicity implies shipping as much hardware support as possible, not caring about freedoms, bloat or whatever.

The fact that the AUR provides linux-libre doesn't mean that it will work on your install, with your hardware and with related programs which expect the default configuration.

>>57486658
>>57486862
thanks, so i had cryptodisk enabled, and now have added the additional parameters to genkernel. still get the errors though and when i boot i get the message: the LUKS devices UUID= does not countain a LUKS header. it doesn't matter weather i use the UUID of /dev/sda4 or the luks partition

thats why there are distros without systemd

>dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
how can i install the .deb file with apt downloading the needed dependencies

>>57487233
that's because debian pushes outdated packages as stable. they'll probably get it in 2040

>>57487233
Wount help you much since it's basically allowed nowadays to hard-depend on systemd. So when you develop a distro without systemd, you have a lot of work with rewriting shit as a small community which was maintained and released bugfree already by an even larger community.

>simplicity
Because Linux and GNU are so simple and The Unix Way, right?

Faggots, srsly, I'm not a wise guy, but I know that systemd is free software, and I know what free software means, so where the hell is the fucking problem?!

There is nothing wrong with systemd. Idiots have been claiming that it's a botnet. In fact they'll claim anything from RH/Fedora botnets whereas RH is one of the top contributor to the Linux kernel and the community.

GNU'd just like to interGNU for a GNUment. What you’re GNUing to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/GNU, or as GNU's recently taken to GNUing it, GNU plus GNU. GNU is not an GNU GNUstem unto itGNU, but rather another GNUree GNU of a fully GNUing GNU GNUstem made GNUful by the GNU GNUlibs, GNU GNUtilties and vital GNU GNUponents GNUing a full GNU OS as GNUed by GNU. Many GNU GNUers run a GNUified GNUrsion of the GNU GNUstem every GNU, without GNUing it. Through a GNUuliar turn of GNU, the GNUrsion of GNU which is GNUly used today is often called “GNU”, and many of its GNUers are not GNU that it is GNUically the GNU GNUstem, GNUed by the GNU ProjGNU. There really is a GNU, and these GNUple are GNUing it, but it is GNU a GNU of the GNUstem they use. GNU is the GNU: the GNU in the GNUstem that GNUs the GNU’s GNU to the other GNU that you GNU. The GNU is a GNUtial GNU of an GNU GNUstem, but GNUless by itGNU; GNU can only GNUtion in the GNUtext of a GNUplete GNU GNUstem. GNU is GNUmally used in combiGNUtion with the GNU GNU GNUstem: the whole GNUstem is GNUsically GNU with GNU added, or GNU/GNU. All the so-called “GNU” distribGNUtions are really distribGNUtions of GNU/GNU.

It's basically the open source community which killed the freedom thing.

Linus Torvalds doesn't care much about freedom, so it's not a surprise that he doesn't sue himself/the Linux Foundation for shipping ucode.
That said, it seems a bit two-faced, or whatever:

What distro does this guy use?

>>57487852
redhat

>>57487852
debian
why choose anything else, you're only making it harder for yourself :^)

>>57487831
It looks like you will need one of these packages - https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=qtdeclarative5&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

Not sure why it is having problems, maybe the deb file is made for ubuntu and the programs it needs are named differently in that. Usually it's not that difficult.

>>57487852
Ubuntu
>>57487886
SJWS >>>/out.

>>57487886
>I can't use a distro other than debshit
dumb debibabby

>>57487915
is there any particular reason why debian is considered an SJW distro

>>57487859
Is this true?
>>57487886
Not using sjw bullshit
>>57487915
I can't imagine him and his colleagues using such a shit distro as ubuntu.

it's the idea behind the "tainted kernel" concept so many people cry about. it basically just means that you are free to use whatever non-free parts you want, as long as you don't expect help if something fails.

lmao Ubunt > 50 ft pile of freetard wannabe trash > Debian

>>57487947
oh

thanks for enlightening me anon

I hope this is the right place to ask:
Im trying to run a java program that I already managed to compile, but it says it can't find or load the main class, even if I use -cp (it works on windows). I have tried some solutions people suggest obline but they didn't work. I'm doing this on slacko puppy

>Is this true?
high probability. for sensitive stuff they likely use some home brewed os.

>>57487977
and to think i was considering giving debian a go

>>57487981
What is the reason for using redhat in particular?

Great, LinuxLive USB Creator 2.9.4 fucked my prendrive. It shows inside Windows 7 devices and disk tools, but I can't format it anymore.
What to do now?
Fucking Solus! Never used I but how I already regret.

>>57488059
support mainly. They probably use everything.

That's just a wikipedia page made by primarily one person. It doesn't affect the distro in any functional or significant way at all.

>>57488287
those wikipedia pages, they are from debian.orgy

absolutely disgusting

>>57488287
>>57488334
I meant just wiki pages, my bad.

No matter what guide i follow for gentoo, it NEVER, NEVER finds the device as bootable,
GRUB,GRUB2,LILO,SYSLINUX
THEY
ALL
FAIL
EVERY OTHER DISTRO grub works on the SAME HARDWARE

There are barely any and the list grows shorter every year. We'll be stuck with gentoo, funtoo and guixSD in no time, if that. GuixSD is basically unusable, gentoo is GOAT but has some really, REALLY shit devs, and funtoo has nodevs.

>>57488402
what's wrong with gentoo devs?

>>57488423
they are from Quebec

>>57487295
You can use s6+runit or sysvinit+openrc. among other options, to replace systemd, however this might require using a different distro than whatever you're using because a lot of distro build their packages with hard-requirements on systemd. I think trisquel uses sytemd now (if not, soon probably), so it wouldn't be a very good distro to be systemd free. However, it's not a bad distro outside from that, though I'd honestly, unironically suggest gentoo since it's the only distro that had remained stable for 5 years for me and it tends to 'just werk' past install.

>>57488361
i had the same the first time i tried installing gentoo. turned out i forgot to compile a kernel

>>57487288
The problem is that
1- Systemd is so huge it's impossible to audit it completely
2- the head dev (lennart poettering) is known for producing garbage software (see: pulseaudio, which significantly increases sound latency, notably reduces sound accuracy, and until recently didn't even work half the time. Not convinced? Google for various distro's systemd-related bugs in their bugtrackes. You'll be nothing short of amazed I guarantee you, most of the serious bugs are outright ridiculous and some are even CLOSED_WONTFIX).
The without-systemd website has a lot of argument, but I don't think it correctly does justice to the breath of the issue.

no. this one hasn't been dropped by maintainers yet
