/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

I'm trying to install an iso on to my windows 10 laptop. I want to completely remove windows but the disk setup is labelling / as Windows 10. Would it be best to wipe it outside of the installer first? I'm not sure if it is doing what I need it to already and just labelling it as windows 10 or if windows 10 is still going to be there (I have set it to format).

>>57497121
That doesn't make it right. Sounds like a right shitty distro.

>>57497012
Depends on which installer you're using, obviously. Most have a "use whole disk" option, or "partition entire disk automatically" or something similar, so try choosing that.

I remember someone saying you just had to rename a file somewhere but I don't remember where it was.

How can I install GNU + Linux alongside Windows encrypted by Veracrypt? I don't want to break veracrypt loader. Is there a standard way to do it? Currently I'm using like 200 GB as an encrypted NTFS partition and the rest of space is unused.

screenfetch --help
man screenfetch

man bash; hint: look for the alias section

>>57497948
Thanks.
I know how to setup an alias for screen fetch to be

screenfetch -D arch

, but renaming a file seemed like a nicer solution.

>>57497986

Renaming which file?

>>57498056
I don't remember. That was my question.

>>57497851
because some distros do not split packages like the retards they are maintained by.
Just know that stable gimp never crashes. I have abused the shit out of it on numerous occassions and never once did it crash or hang on me.

>>57498085

I cannot think of such a file, that which when renamed, would change the default behaviour for screenfetch.
Either way, I suggest that you kill yourself for being such a pretentious, obnoxious, try-hard. No one cares which distribution you are using, except for people giving you support. If you wants Arch's support, install Arch.

>>57498102

There is no "better" or "proper" way to handle splitting packages.

I am going to install gentoo in virtualbox on windows. I have my own reasons for doing this and not dualbooting or just wiping windows and installing gentoo completely. My question is, will just following the gentoo handbook work for this kind of an installation? I mean, drivers for virtualbox are a pain in the ass even in a lot of babby distros, and I really have no idea what I would do in kernel configuration to make it all work. Are there some good tutorials on how to do this that you guys could link to? Thanks in advance btw.

Guys, I'm trying to get a pager to word wrap at whole words, rather than partway trough words. I've tried this in less, most, and w3m and I can't see to see a way to do it.

Is there any alternative that I can used that still uses the $PAGER variable?

Basically I want it to output with formatting similar to a man page.

Any way I can do such a thing? I've even tried making nano (with the option -r 70) my pager, but that just quits instantly.

>>57499211
Good job, son.

    percent="$(mpc | sed '/playing\|paused/!d; s/.*(\(.*\)%)/\1/')"

    offset="$((length * percent / 100))"

    printf '%s\e[35m%s\n' "${title:0:offset}" "${title:offset}"

It prints the title colorized, based on elapsed time (currently just ansi escapes for testing).

I have a debian router with following port forwarding rule

It works fine, service running on 10.9.0.3:8123 is accessible from the internet on wan_ip:8123.

Hi,

I’m trying to set up a systemd service to restart cbatticon (https://github.com/valr/cbatticon) after resume from suspend to disk/ram. Apparently I fail to equip the service with the information necessary to make the cbatticon icon appear in my system tray (I’m running Debian stable with fluxbox). I’ve set DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY in the unit file to no avail. Has anyone an idea what I’m missing? I’m quite sure that the script (see below) is executed from beginning to end. However, it has no effect when it’s run by systemd. If I execute it manually in a terminal it works as expected.

Here’s the unit file:

[Unit]
Description=Run /home/USER/bin/cbatticon-restart after resume
After=suspend.target
After=hibernate.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=USER
Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
Environment="XAUTHORITY=/home/USER/.Xauthority"
ExecStart=/home/USER/bin/cbatticon-restart

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
WantedBy=hibernate.target

And here’s the respective bash script:

#! /bin/bash

if [[ -n `pidof cbatticon` ]]
then
    PId=$(pidof cbatticon) &&
    kill "${PId}"
fi

cbatticon -u 5 -l 20 -r 10 -c "systemctl suspend" &

exit

Thanks a bunch!

Been trying to install Arch. Followed their wiki guide + read a lot of the linked pages when it wasn't clear, still getting this error when trying to boot. Possibly GRUB not installing properly? Any ideas?

Possibly fstab issue.

Just select your iso from virtualbox and then reboot

>>57501983
I know that, but then it's running from the iso and I want it installed to the virtual HDD.

>>57501995
Then install it in virtualbox

>>57501950
I was just getting this error last night while installing another distro that doesn't automatically format the drives.

The problem was that GRUB needed a 2MB partition with the "bios_grub" flag enabled. (Usually this is the first partition on the disk but I'm not sure if it's required).
Also I set the "boot" flag, but I'm not sure if that's required (the boot flag should be set on whichever partition holds the /boot directory, so possibly your root partition unless you have /boot somewhere else)

>>57502115
That's what I've done. It's not booting once the disc is removed.

Hey /fglt/, I'm looking to move distros.

What i want is a distro without systemd (not because i think systemd is spooky or anything, I'm on an older machine where it does not perform very well)

What distro should i go with? I'd use Devuan but they don't have the nonfree repos that i need for wireless, and Void looks rather complex...
And I'm defiantly not going through the hell that is gentoo again...

So what can i do? Install Debian+Nonfree, and spend all day fucking around with init scripts?

Don't move. Try masking shitty things at startup. `systemd-analyze blame` can help you.

Devuan sounds interesting.

How quick are they with keeping up with security patches of Debian stable?

If it's a fork of debian, couldn't you just use the non-free repos of debian? I doubt that firmware packages have any kind of dependency that could ruin your installation

also, what init does devuan use? I'm browsing the site, but it's full of HURR DURR init freedom but doesn't actually state what is uses? openrc?

>>57502828
oh fuck it uses sysvinit.

Why do they cling to this dinosaur still?

>>57502870
you can do it with xbacklight
https://linux.die.net/man/1/xbacklight

>>57500980

I'm using cbatticon too and don't need a systemd service to make it work after suspending.
My guess is that you confused some of the After and WantedBy options. What does the log file say? I'm also guessing that it's trying to start before X is up. Try creating an X.target and start that with Fluxbox and then make cbatticon's service file start after that.

>>57502872
sysvinit is also supported on vanilla debian at least for now, as long as you're willing to roll with systemd-udev. it works pretty well and it's much less likely to die or disappear next week

>>57502870
Sure thing buddy.

The directory you should be interested in is

/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0

The two files of interests are brightness and max_brightness

Brighntess levels can be integers from 0 to whataver "cat max_brightness" prints, in my case it's 7 but It can be different for your machine.

To change the level of brightness you need to write your desired level (as an integer) to the file called brightness.

To dim the brightness just use

echo "0" > brightness

Replace "0" with desired level

Of course everything has to be done with superuser priviledges.

>>57502889
I have instaled it but for some reason it doesnt work

I type "xbacklight +/1/set 100/50/0.5" but it never did anything, even with sudo

Please tell me I am just stupid and I didnt fuck up something.

>>57502952
>le having choice is bad

>>57502872
>Why do they cling to this dinosaur still?

Because it works as an init daemon?

>>57502944
try just "xbacklight -set 1"

I don't think brightness can be set as decimals so 1 will be the dimmest

>>57500515
Literally every note taking program does the job.

>>57502969
still nothing, thanks for trying anyway

>>57502965

Choice has nothing to do with this, stop trying to change the topic.
The topic was "systemd is making my old computer slow. using a different init system (and system management tools) will make it blazing fast again".

The shell runs redirections and the shell has no root privilegues. sudo echo will only run echo as root and stop here. If you want to write as superuser, there are thw ways:
a) start a shell with superuser privs
b) use tee: echo "10" | sudo tee brightness

Why does the internet bully Lennard so much?

>I don't usually talk about this too much, and hence I figure that people are really not aware of this, but yes, the Open Source community is full of assholes, and I probably more than most others am one of their most favourite targets. I get hate mail for hacking on Open Source. People have started multiple "petitions" on petition web sites, asking me to stop working (google for it). Recently, people started collecting Bitcoins to hire a hitman for me (this really happened!). Just the other day, some idiot posted a "song" on youtube, a creepy work, filled with expletives about me and suggestions of violence. People post websites about boycotting my projects, containing pretty personal attacks. On IRC, people /msg me sometimes, with nasty messages, and references to artwork in 4chan style. And there's more. A lot more.

Premise: i'm extremely new to linux.

So today i decided to install qbittorrent and at first i was pretty excited. Everything worked out of the box, max speed, etc.

However here's the problem: everytime i close qbittorrent, it loses all data about downloads.

If the download had finished it's okay, because the file is safe inside /home/anon/Downloads but if the file was uncomplete, you can see the problem.

This also makes a lot harder to keep seeding once the download is complete.

I'm not even sure what the problem is, how do i fix it?

Hey friendlies, can someone please teach me about terminal ANSI colors please?

I use xfce-terminal and love it. I have picked a really nice color scheme from presets and haven't had any issues.

But recently I installed a program that looks like dogshit. Pic related. If you take a look at my terminal preferences, you can notice that this program uses bottom row of colors and doesn't use the top row. Unfortunately the program doesn't come with a config file and you can't modify colors. But there's source code!

I've narrowed down the issue to this:

 
    static const unsigned long BASIC_COLOR_COUNT = 8;
    static const unsigned long HI_COLOR_COUNT = 6 * 3 * 3;

....

    int attrs_for_ident(const char *str, size_t len) const {
        unsigned long index = crc32(1, (const Bytef*)str, len);
        int retval;

        if (COLORS >= 256) {
            unsigned long offset = index % HI_COLOR_COUNT;
            retval = COLOR_PAIR(VC_ANSI_END + offset);
        }
        else {
            retval = BASIC_HL_PAIRS[index % BASIC_COLOR_COUNT];
        }

        return retval;
    };

    static inline int ansi_color_pair_index(int fg, int bg)
    {
        return VC_ANSI_START + ((fg * 8) + bg);
    };

    static inline int ansi_color_pair(int fg, int bg)
    {
        return COLOR_PAIR(ansi_color_pair_index(fg, bg));
    };

I can't figure out this code. How do I change it so it uses first row of colors?
Thanks!

It should keep that data in ~/.local/share, do you have some unusual set up with your home?

THANK YOU bud!

I'll hunt some more code to see how to change things.

>>57504157
The programs seems to check if the terminal supports 256 colors, if so, it's using it. The 256 colors palette has different colors than the colors you set up in your terminal.

A quick hack:

    int attrs_for_ident(const char *str, size_t len) const {
        unsigned long index = crc32(1, (const Bytef*)str, len);
        int retval;

        // if (COLORS >= 256) {
        //    unsigned long offset = index % HI_COLOR_COUNT;
        //    retval = COLOR_PAIR(VC_ANSI_END + offset);
        // }
        // else {
            retval = BASIC_HL_PAIRS[index % BASIC_COLOR_COUNT];
        // }

        return retval;
    };

Or just set your terminal ENV variable to some terminal which doesn't support 256 colors.

Thanks bro! I just tried that. It actually looks a lot better but it still uses bottom row of terminal palette. That other anon above gave me a clue about bold stuff.

After some digging in ncurses file, I came across this:

    this->vc_role_colors[VCR_TEXT]   =

I'd post the log but is in italian, so i doubt that would help.
I'm going to keep reading it looking for clues.

how do i upgrade everything with one emerge command

do i need to worry about "autounmask-write"? i've done it mindlessly about 10 times now. i just use the newer configs always.

that whole process is a pain in the ass.

Gentoo is a meme, used by 4channers who have never installed it. It means "lurk moar" in /g/'s language, implying that installing Gentoo turns you into a GNU/Linux wizard, which it doesn't, since it's actually easy to install, it just takes ages to compile and here's the trolle.

There's literally no point in installing Gentoo, since nearly all common package managers can build custom packages for their related system.

>>57506306
the point of gentoo is being source based, which means: no random binaries, just your source

>>57506327
The missing point is: Nobody will ever actually read the source before compiling it, so why not just use the binary and save time.

>>57506327
The point of Gentoo is USE flags, which makes it possible to update your packages with the set flags. On other distros you need to update and recompile every time if you have a custom package.

>>57506359
Why should anyone compile literally all packages of his distro just because of said convenience? Let's say you install Gentoo and you have a custom urxvt and a custom ncmpcpp. It's not like that packages get updates everyday, so why not just rebuild that one or two custom packages you actually customize? Why loosing years for compiling stuff you don't even care about? For example Firefox will take, depending on cores, between 12 and 3 hours of compiling for every update. Literally why?

>>57506263
I have a low opinion on Gentoo GNU/Linux.

>>57506408
For the home users things like gentoo are more of a hobby. But in a commercial environment the 5% or more performance boosts you can get end up being substantial in terms of money/time saved.

Besides if you have all your settings in place and leave it to update/compile when you aren't using it, then what is the problem?

>>57506408
I use Gentoo because I'm a speed freak - I can't stand the thought that some of my packages might not be running as fast as they could be.

>>57506408
Despite being considered a "bleeding edge" distro with rolling releases, Gentoo is actually one of the most stable distros you'll ever find because everything is compiled against the versions of libraries you actually have installed, instead of against versions of libraries you're supposed to have like in binary based distros.

I use non-free drivers

I own my own vehicle.

This is strange.

>Running Debian on my laptop
>At system startup, it shows an error message that I've looked into basically just saying that the Bluetooth chip on the laptop is returning bad information

>Running Fedora on this same laptop
>Shows the same message during startup

>Running Kubuntu on this same laptop
>NO SUCH ERROR MESSAGE AT ALL!

Also...
>the touchpad functioned perfectly on both Debian and Fedora with no tweaks
>the touchpad didn't work at all on a fresh installation of Kubuntu and I had to run a command that I retrieved off of the internet to get it working

How can Linux distributions vary in this way? Shouldn't it all be the same? I've always imagined that the only difference in distributions are the packages that they come bundled with (their choice of desktop environment and package manager, mainly)

>>57507388
install solus

>>57507293
Your fault.

Since it's hardware it could be the Kernel. The Linux kernel can be compiled with or without support for various things. Each distro might do it differently.

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.

why do you have to do this to me every time?

I'm using Antergos with Xfce and I'm experiencing a weird problem. Sometimes certain programs become unusable because they take on the appearance of whatever is on the screen. Pic related. The part circled in black is a chromium window. It's back to normal after a reboot but this has happened multiple times. The programs that I mainly use that seem to be affected are chromium and mpv. I'm using a laptop with intel hd 3000 graphics. Any ideas what the problem is?

>>57507558
Can we just agree to call it "Ginux" or something?
I mean, "GNU slash Linux" is just asking too much of me.

>>57507586
install compton
>>57507592
just say gnu, shorter than linux

>>57507558
thank dr stalman

>>57507293
So do I. Nouveau a shit, but it's Nvidia's fault more than anything.

how is Slack bloat-wise? (compared to Arch)?

>>57507917
More bloated than Arch

>>57507917
why comparing to arch, arch is one of the more bloated distros

>>57507972
>>57508025
so I'm getting mixed messages, any reason why one would be more than the other?

>>57507917

>Muh bloat
Must suck being a third worlder NEET porrfag

>>57508070
When people ask about bloat it's usually when performance matters. ofc even the poorest porchinkpads can run the most bloated distros, but that not the point.

Enjoy your 16GiB hard drive, poor faggot

What distrobution do they use at Langley?

>>57508136
Memes aside, the "wtf r u poor" troll is pretty bad since it leads people to buy shit they dont need in order not to feel short dicked

tl;dr you're producing macfags

>>57508151
Psst, hey HEY!

>newbie friendly, beginner distros, first timers
-Debian and its derivatives

>Professionals with intermediate Linux related skills
-Fedora, Source Mage, Slackware

>Expert hacking, top tier server usage, serious programming stuff
Arch, Gentoo

stop namefagging dumb redditor

>>57508156
Hey.
But there is nothing that would fall under their usage here.

So everyone itt seems to be bullying mint. is debian is a reasonable step up without being too difficult?

It would be appreciated if I could get any replies in the form of a haiku but it's not necessary. thanks and god bless.

>>57508614
nope. debian is sjw shit and should be avoided at all costs

i don't know how to create haikus so sorry, but yeah, don't use debian. use something better instead, god bless you too my friend

>>57508614
also forgot to add this
mint isn't 'bullied' because it's easy. it's just TOTAL shit when it comes to security and the developer is pretty shit himself.
use ubuntu(without *nity) instead if you want something easy and not that shitty

>>57508634
but debian has lots of support right? I don't care is strong independent women contributed to it. It'll be my distro not my boyfriend.

>>57508677
P.S. anyone here is still welcome to be my boyfriend just for tonight

>>57508677
it has lots of shit in it that's for sure.
just use ubuntu if you need easy + not shit security. mint is bad for everyone, ubuntu has its uses.

>I don't care is strong independent women contributed to it.
neither do I. that wouldn't make it an sjw distro. other shit they do makes it one though

>>57508747
yeah fuck fine I'll go for kubuntu

what's with the sjw meme anyway? explain yourself.

>>57508759
>meme
It isn't
