I'll start with a question, Im deploying FreeIPA on a VPS.

I have a domain name, what's the best DNS setup you think anons (I really don't fully grasp DNS).

FreeIPA configures its own bind server, but I would like it to be resolvable without configuring dns on the clients.

Tl:Dr how do I make my domain name publicly resolvable with bind?

Tyty

What's good virtual machine emulator for linux?
Qemu or VB?
I need to boot ISOs/ and boot from USB flash drives to test something.

Fucking wew! VGA passthrough is magic!

>>57580254
That sounds like a fucking pain in the ass. I'm not sure I understand

Make an image,
dd if=/dev/zero of=puppy.img bs=1M count=2048

Mount it,
Mount -o loop puppy.img /mnt

Copy contents into image,

Then use that image as the install media during virtual machine setup.

If you only need this purely for VM purposes, create the image as qcow2,

qemu-img create -f qcow2 puppy.img 3G

It is, I want to test it before burning it to DVD.
I can't believe windows have tools to make mutli booting while linux have none.

Will this create a 2 GB img file to dump the content of the DVD?

This is really giving me headache.
Form one side I don't want to install VBox on my machine and clutter things with files I'd probably use it once, and from the other hand I don't have enough RAM to run a Live session with Vbox.

Does the CD/DVD even needs MBR?

Because devs think all who uses linux have memorized the manual, and can program in at least 5 languages.

>>57580413
No, it just creates a "container" then you move your modified Linux files into it. An image file in this context is just a rw image file, where as an ISO is read only.

like everything with Linux bootloaders have a much larger learning curve but once you figure it out, it's infinitely more flexible and useful than the Windows.

Hello, friends.
I have a question regarding SFTP.
I would like to transfer a file/files to my friend on a different network over SFTP, but I do not want to expose my entire filesystem when doing this. How can I best do this?

>>57580624
Where do I learn this this?
I've created the custom X-Tar puppy linux ISO, by dd the USB flash drive, along with it's puppy_save.sfs.
Hiren's doesn't need configuration.
I know I need Grub2, to boot up the ISOs, and configure grub.cfg but where do I find that specific knowledge?
I tried asking in different IRC, but just got called another distro creating hobbyist.

So after looking around I found this
http://multicd.us/
While the hiren's CD Iso works flawlessly.
The X-Tahr puppy ISO doesn't maybe because I edited it, or because I copied it from USB flash drive.

Doesn't dd command copy everything as is?
So if I dd a USB flash dirve that contain a bootable puppy linux, that was installed according to this http://puppylinux.org/main/Puppy430-tutorial-English.pdf
To ISO then burn it to DVD, shouldn't it boot ?

Noto sans.

>>57580766
Firstly I have no knowledge of anything puppy specific, but in general you should create at least 2 partitions on your USB

Using # fdisk /dev/<usb>
Press "n", default, default, " +100M, "c" (this will create a 100mb legacy boot partition)
Press "n", default, default, default, default (this will create partition using the rest of the space on drive)

Format:
# mkfs.vfat /dev/<usb>1
# mkfs.ext4 /dev<usb>2

After that
# mkdir /mnt/usb
# mount /dev/<usb>2 /mnt/usb

You should now copy the rootfs of your puppy distro into /mnt/usb


# mv /mnt/usb/boot /mnt/usb/boot2
# mkdir /mnt/usb/boot
# mount /dev/<usb>1 /mnt/usb/boot
# cp -r /mnt/usb/boot2/* /mnt/usb/boot/
# rm -r /mnt/usb/boot2

This just moves /boot files onto the partition we made before.

Run:
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --debug --boot-directory=/mnt/usb/boot /dev/<usb>
# arch-chroot /mnt/usb/
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Make sure it finds a kernel + initrd
# exit

Wow I'm really autistic, but I hope that helps

How do most Linux distros function at high DPI, specifically a 3440x1440 resolution?

>>57581274
Thanks, but this is just the manual way of installing puppy linux.
What I want is for grub to boot ISO image instead, and two ISO images as well.
The issue is I need to manually set the kernel + initrd in grub.cfg.
And then create an ISO image.

Thanks anyway, BTW why arch-chroot?

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.

Is there a way to keep packages to minimum?
Basically I'm always testing new packages and those create files/install dependencies.
But when I'm done, I don't want them anymore, and I don't want to use the package manger since some of these are built from source.
Usually I just use Live USB session of customized distro, and when I done, I just restore the distro image to the USB.
But the whole process is such a hassle.
Are there better way?

>>57581544
GNOME and i3 should work, no idea about Awesome.

>>57580961

I think I saw someone else with the same problem. Check the Xfce bug tracker or the Arch forums, no idea where I saw it. Maybe even the Arch Reddit.

>>57581522
>>57581403

It depends on the toolkit the programs are using. GTK3 and Qt5 should work okay with X. Apparently Wayland allows even better scaling (with things like 1.5).

>>57581594

What's your end goal? Do you think that's funny or witty? Because it's not, other people have worn that joke out years before you doing it currently.
You don't make others use Linux "correctly", nor do you contribute to the hatred towards GNU. All you're doing is wasting precious 4chan megabytes and your posts should be reported.

I don't know if it's still based on Ubuntu or not, but the point still stands. Retards get stuff from downstream, smart people go as upstream as possible.

>>57582198
It's like having two monitors without actually having to fuck around with two monitors though. Pixel density makes everything look better as well

Downside is they are expensive as fuck and require decent hardware to push all the pixels

/g/ has me morally torn with so much shit lately

>>57582236
You definitely got meme'd.
4K is like having four 1080p monitors, is far more compatible and is much better for 4:3 content.

I know I shouldn't be asking this here but I'm sick of /v/ in the PC build threads thinking the sole purpose of a PC is to game

I want a high DPI monitor like Ultrawide 3440x1440 or 4k because the extra screen real estate is great for multitasking productivity. But every now and again I of course do play games or consume media. Gaming at 4k is fucked unless you want to break the bank, ultrawide is pretty fucked, you have to spend a decent amount to push all those pixels; plus there's not that much native 21:9 content.

Is ultrawide a meme? Should I go with 4k? If I go with 4k and something like a rx480 or gtx 1060 will I be able to down scale the resolution without it looking like shit? or will it always look like shit?

The extra screen real estate is honestly fucking amazing for everything but fucking games, maybe I should just stop falling for the gayming meme

Hey guys, I've always wanted to install arch on my main computer, I've installed it on my old laptop (which doesn't work anymore) and I really like it, but I've never managed to install a bootloader manually on uefi before (old laptop used bios). Is there a guide that I can follow somewhere?

You're out of luck then, buddy.

If you could crash a system with a single command that every user could invoke then it wouldn't be a very good system would it?

>>57583377

>>57583504

Maybe I'm lucky, just read about "setuid", so basically it would be possible to print a "c" to /proc/sysrq-trigger..

>>57583381
b-but if you read my post gaming is something I do very little of. I just want people who I know are competent with technology (/fglt/) to give their two sense on high DPI monitors for my use case. The only reason I still play games is because it's a bit of a social thing to jump on chat with some mates and have a few games of something - if it wasn't for any of that I would have never looked back

Your opinion is objectively worthless

I'm fed up of Arch breaking on me. I've tried all of the forks like Antergos and Manjaro, they all seem to break after a week or two, even though I don't do anything to break them. Anyway, is there a distro that's stable and has something like the AUR?

>>57583630
Yeah high DPI support seems good these days so that shouldn't be too much of a problem

The thing is I would definitely take advantage of the extra screen real estate that something like 4k gives you for productive shit. But when I want to play a game every now and again would it look like shit on a 4k monitor having to dial it back to 1080p or maybe a tiny bit above, the best a 480/1060 could push it?

Wew, I had posted this in an old thread on accident.

So I'm fairly new to GNU/Unix. The most experience I have with it is an old version of Ubuntu and a class on UNIX that was required for CompSci.

I wanna install Arch. I know it's supposedly tough, but what's tough about it? Is the installer bare bones? Is it hard to configure for simple personal use? Does it have dependency hell? I'm gonna try running it in a VM of course though, before going live with it.

Also, how would I go about setting up an ssh so I can use ConnectBot on my phone to mess with it while I'm out?

Apologies for the obvious noob/uninformed questions.

>>57583730
>GNU/Unix
Just stop.
Trying too hard to fit in.

>>57583730
Arch is a fine distro for getting used to terminal

Also Linux is not UNIX

>>57583687

>>57583730
>using GNU/anything

>>57583765
lol make me :DD

>>57583741
Fine. Linux. That obvious I don't browse here much?

I am serious about installing Arch though, along with the rest of what I said.

>>57583755
Square and rectangle thing, right? I know what I used in that class was Unix and not Linux though.

>>57583775
Yeah. Only retarded cultists use that seriously. That and newfags like yourself of course, I don't have anything against you simply for that since this is a specialized thread for help but don't fucking try to be so """"cool"""" by using cultist words like GNU/

>>57583668
somik isn't a trap you dumbass.

she's a hobbyist photographer, the dick belonged to her boyfriend and she photoshopped it over her crotch in those pictures

>>57583775
Well technically it is GNU/Linux. However people shorten stuff all the time. So they call it "Linux"

Is there anywhere I can go to get some intuitive explanations of things like kernals, shells and shit like that? How it all goes together to make a PC work?

I feel like it is almost necessary to have the basic knowledge of all of this stuff if you want to go about utilizing GNU/Linux to its best possible place

>>57583798
Alright. Apologies.

I'm still wondering what's so hard about installing Arch though. From casual lurking, I remember someone crying that a dependency wasn't installed automatically? Is there something else I would need to look out for when trying this?

The ssh thing would help too. Apparently most distros come with openssh, but is there anything extra blah blah blah

>>57583730
>Is the installer bare bones? Is it hard to configure for simple personal use? Does it have dependency hell? I'm gonna try running it in a VM of course though, before going live with it.
It has become a bit tedious since the beginners' guide got removed

>>57583814
It isn't though. Not everything that runs a linux kernel is GNUSHIT/Linux
you can use it if you run this piece of shit software but don't force others to use this wording or your shitty software
>>57583828
And about Arch. It isn't hard by any stretch of the imagination.
>Is the installer bare bones?
It doesn't have one. You just input commands. Follow the arch wiki and you shouldn't have any problems if you aren't running any exotic hardware
>Is it hard to configure for simple personal use?
Not harder than any other distro. It's just a different kind of "hard". On other distros you have to remove a lot shit that comes out of the box but with arch you have to install and configure everything you need
>Does it have dependency hell?
It doesn't as far as I know.

>too 1337 for file managers

>Does it come with a desktop like Ubuntu did?

no

>>57583918
>Tell me, what browser do you use?
When you answer my question
>too 1337 for file managers
i didn't claim that though. I just don't need one. Why would I use something I don't need?
>NEETbux
i don't live in a shitty country which practices this extensively. and i don't think i would even be eligible so 0
>>57583926
You don't need anything other than a live cd. just make a bootable usb of arch and you're done.
>Does it come with a desktop like Ubuntu did?
nope. you have to install a DE yourself but that isn't hard if you're wondering about that.

No idea, I don't even use Linux on my desktop. I'd probably use something more mainstream and widely supported though, and just strip things down afterwards.

>>57584403
Why do you keep placing such importance on distros? Most of them keep shipping tools under the GNU project for the same reason Linux is compiled with it, or why X is still used. Because it became a commonly used standard, and everything everybody wrote literally DEPENDS on it being there exactly that way, even if it's not the best tool for the job, even if it's ancient, even if there are hundreds of way better replacements, and even if nobody uses it out of choice when they can help it.

"The GNU Project" is just an umbrella term for a freetard movement that ripped off a bunch of EXISTING Unix tools wholesale, then latched itself onto a kernel in order to promote their shitty misguided ideas about software freedom. It is entirely possible to use a modern, functional and convenient Linux based operating system without a line of GNU code involved. Even in modern distros that place an emphasis on legacy support and broad compatibility like Debian (that even goes out of its way to CALL itself "GNU" in a really pathetic way because it's not even approved by the FSF), most of the code you actually use that matters doesn't come from GNU. Your kernel isn't GNU, your web browser isn't GNU, your desktop environment either uses or is trying to migrate to Qt, GIMP is a piece of shit being replaced by Krita, Wine isn't GNU, your office suite isn't GNU, your compiler (in a few years) isn't going to be GNU, and if you're suicidal enough to use a DAW or a video editor on your Linux desktop, it probably won't be GNU either.

>>57584480

>>57584622
And my point is that they run them not because GNU tools are the best for the job or because there are no alternatives. Most people don't directly use or rely on GNU software nowadays when everything you do takes place either in a web browser or an office suite.

Just because your distro ships with a 1991 version of wget or sed which most people are never going to touch, it doesn't make it as important as the fucking kernel or your web browser.

Puppy has two files. One is the system image which gets mounted into ramdisk at boot.
The other one is the "persistent storage" which exists on the storage device of your choice.

You can turn off the option of persistent storage and simply run puppy from the disk image every time.
Additonal software can be added without persistent storage by appropriate squashfs images which can be loaded into ramdisk at boot as well

I do

mpv ~/porn/**/*

This plays all the vids in subdirectories of "porn", but not subdirectories of said subdirectories or vids that are simple in "porn".

e.g.
~/porn/Asian/AkaiMizuki.mp4
will be played, but not
~/porn/Asian/Anal/SatomiYuria.avi
or
~/porn/AllieSin-Power Lines.mkv

How do I make so all files under the "porn" directory (including itself and all subdirectories) are played?

Also try openbox or a tiling wm instead of a DE with that amount of memory.

That's very very appealing.

However the packages I'm looking for don't seems available, Ren'py and RAPT.
Since Tahr puppy is ubuntu based, does this means I can install .deb packages directly?

>>57584821
OpenSSL is bsd. You use it. Which means your system is actually GNU/BSD/Linux

>>57584849
See >>57584821

OpenSSL is not the tree core items in POSIX defined operating systems

>>57584846
>Since Tahr puppy is ubuntu based, does this means I can install .deb packages directly?
you cannot install .deb packages directly without persistent storage.

However puppy includes tools to create your own squashfs images with whatever .deb you may need.

And yes I would advice using tahrpuppy. The slacko version sucks dingdong right now.

>>57584860
doesn't matter
you are running it. it's dishonest to not include it in the name.

>>57584849
>using openssLOL instead of gnutls

>>57584871
GNU is a greater part of the whole by any metric, it's even greater than the linux kernel. OpenSSL isn't even as much of a part of the OS as the linux kernel.

GNU/Linux wins again, as always. Good bye, butthurt maori nigger

>>57584788
Here's a thought exercise for you. I'm using a desktop computer with:

- Linux
- systemd
- ALSA
- Proprietary graphics drivers
- LLVM
- X.org
- OpenJDK
- IntelliJ IDEA
- Python
- Go
- musl
- zsh
- busybox
- OpenSSL
- OpenSSH
- Qt
- KDE
- Krita
- Chromium
- VLC
- LibreOffice
- Maya

I also have gcc, gtk, bash and coreutils installed because my package manager refuses to install some things without also installing these. The amount of GNU code running on my desktop is a generous 0.5% of the total. Why, then, would I call this collection of software "GNU/Linux" and claim that the tools released by the GNU project (which I don't use) are as important as my kernel?

definitions do matter
GNU/BSD/Linux is the correct definition. Linux or GNU/Linux is simply dishonest

>>57584911
The amount of Linux code running on your desktop would make a generous 2% of the total.

Why call it Linux then?

Why isn't this distro popular?
It even comes with XFCE

I'll try it out and see how it goes.
It wouldn't be such an issue if building ren'py games for android didn't leave such huge files that I'm not sure if it should be deleted or not.

You could have "learned" about filesystems, bootloaders and the kernel from any distribution.

>how kernels work
I am willing to bet 1000$ that you know jackshit how kernels work. All you maybe know is how to go through a menu and select certain options you want from a kernel.
