Like anon said, KVM/Qemu managed via virt-manager(frontend for libvirt(management api))

It supports virgl for guests Linux 4.2+ which allows for 3d acceleration.

Virt-manager works great remotely too, the spice protocol, mainly used for display can even route usb devices from a remote client back to the VM host

Thanks.

Looking for a font that will be as good as Terminus but will display my moon runes.
I just changed up my arch install with i3 and urxvt and im actually likink it way better than awesome + termite but terminus was the only font i liked but could display through my whole system because its in basic latin and not in any special characters. Is there anything that I can use through firefox, vim/urxvt that doesnt look like shit or is comparable to Terminus.
>TL;DR whats your favorite font, terminus only has latin

>>57593705

You seem to be on uefi based on your later posts, i think you should try messing with your boot order instead of reinstalling grub. Because windows replacing grub is history now.

The penguin would actually look good if it weren't a logo

lol.

Since this is a GUI installer the error output is too vague. If I had the chance I would personally install Arch for you and point out your problem.

That being said I think it's an UEFI/Ubuntu bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1571242
Are you using UEFI(gpt)? If so use Legacy Bios (msdos) and don't boot into UEFI mode.

Furthermore try Manjaro.

>>57594517
I mean the boot order in your uefi settings. You probably booted in bios mode if you installed grub for i386-pc and booted into non-configured grub.
Instead try to find an entry like Fedora in your uefi settings or multi boot menu.

>>57594560
There is only Windows Boot option and the name of my hard drive boot option.

The grub command line is now entering rescue mode when launching

>>57594542
Yes I am using legacy bios.
is manjaro as light as lubuntu? Im trying to install this on an old laptop

>unironically running nsa code when there are other distros
what is wrong with fedora users?

>>57594586
Manjaro has an LxDE version which is as light as ubuntu

>>57594579
Then, you were probably using legacy booting before and you need to configure your legacy grub.
First, chroot into your install like this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/change_root#Using_chroot
You don't need the resolv.conf part.

Inside chroot, run this:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

>>57594613
Pretty sure chinks made most of my devices at my home as well

I have built every single thing on every Gentoo box I've ever owned for about 8yrs now with -O2 and never had a problem with it.

I have had a problem with the number of threads set in makeopts though

>>57594613
I guess thats a "you don't sue me and I don't sue you" thing.

>>57593705
Personally I think terminus + IPAMonaPGothic at pixelsize=16 looks the best. Some people think it looks like ass though but whatever.
(Note: that's the proportional font with the P. Ironically the actual monospaced IPAMonaGothic doesn't work well with terminus for me)

Honestly it's not even a question of what looks best because that is the ONLY font I can find that actually gets the sizes right when combined with terminus. Every other Japanese font I've tried in combination with terminus on urxvt show up with the Japanese characters looking way too small.

About to install Debian (Unstable) on all of the PC's in my office and 5 XPS13 laptops. I am split between KDE and XFCE4 in regards to the desktop environment.

Most of my experience in GNU/Linux has been in the GNOME desktop environment since 2008 so my knowledge on the two is rather slim, but I no longer find GNOME suitable for my needs, or the needs of my employees. If anyone can provide any recommendations for either desktop environment I would be greatly appreciative.

>>57594640
I wrote this, then I realized why you got the error when you tried to do x86_64-efi grub install. Because you were using legacy boot, you don't have the necessary packages for efi boot. You can install these packages with

yum install grub2-efi grub2-efi-modules shim

and try the command that was recommended before if you want to do uefi booting. (I got this command from fedora wiki GRUB 2 article)

>>57594760
Make it correctly:

mkdir ~/bin
export PATH="$PATH:~/bin" # add this to your ~/.bashrc
mv file_to_execute ~/bin
chmod u+x ~/bin/file_to_execute

now you can just type
file_to_execute
from anywhere and have your shit well organized

I know that it's not botnet, but I also know the NSA and I don't trust them, once because I'm to illiterate to audit the code myself, and once because why should you trust a agency that tries to implement backdoors literally everywhere (they even asked torvalds) when they write a "security" program for you?

>>57594843
You have to trust that the maintainers are auditing the code, if you can't trust the integrity of one component, you surely can't trust others.

You could recompile the fedora/el kernel with selinux support turned off pretty easily

I'm reading the Linux Programming Interface, and to show what version of glibc, they run the library as an executable. In order to find find the pathname they do:

So i have Windows 7 on one hard drive and Fedora 24 on the other. Now when i boot up my computer, it boot straight into windows or fedora - which ever i chose to boot first. So i was thinking, shouldn't grub 2 automatically be installed and just show up, when booting from any hard drive first?

I spent 1.5 hours doing all sorts of tricks like splitting up the file, unzipping the file into the flash drive, setting the drive as the storage location but it STILL fucking queues it. Had to cd and cp the iso. Thankfully the terminal returns blank to give some an indication of when it's finished.

How is this shit even acceptable? It's fucking drag and drop. Holy fucking shit.

That's good. Small victories, and all that.

But it's not like writing a program (or script, in your case) with features that you described is hard in Linux/Unix (lookup shebang). You don't have to use npm and JS to achieve that. Those things are necessary evils only in web development, so you should really refrain from using them when you don't have to.
Check out Python. It's as simple as JS, but is way better suited for the task.

>>57597528
This isn't limited to Ubuntu to be fair. Writing an iso to a usb is always better done from the command line.

>>57597554
Yeah I cd'ed to the dir then cp to usb. took me a while to figure the numbers behind the USB matters as well. I can't imagine an average Joe being able to do this, and this is beginner shit.

I suggest you learn how to use your package manager to verify what packages certain packages depend on. Hint: both ffmpeg and mpv depend on jack, you retard.

I installed gentoo, but my dhcpcd is
1) not writing a nameserver to resolv.conf
2) not fetching correct IP and broadcast
and I have no idea how to fix it

>>57599047
>It's the one who made the packages
Ok, let me rephrase then.

Are there any binary distro's, where the maintainers make packages with the bare minimum of deps?
>>57599065
They don't require them. You can run them without jack with no problem. I have personally done this in gentoo

>>57599008

That's absolutely not what you have to do to simply remove packages. It's contrived and has no benefits over "simple" removal (maybe together with dependencies and config fles, -Rsn).

>>57599081

Are you legitimately that retarded? Do you know what a package is? Because you obviously don't.
Hint: a package isn't the same as the source to a program acquired from upstream.

>>57599093
>Hint: a package isn't the same as the source to a program acquired from upstream.
No shit. How does this change the fact that jack is optional for running mpv and ffmpeg?

>>57599103

It's not optional in Arch and its ffmpeg package.
Your initial claim was that Arch installs optional packages, it doesn't. You've been told countless times and you still insist on it. Why? Because you don't know the difference between a distribution's package/packaging system and upstream sources which can be built in different configurations.

Have you realized now why using shitty, downstream distributions which contribute nothing worthwhile and only add problematic abstraction layers is shit?
That's exactly why. You have no idea what caused that problem, because it's hidden behind an unnecessary layer of abstraction (the installer). You don't know where exactly it failed. Without knowing where it failed, it's impossible to solve it.

Install Arch manually and see at which step of using it the error showed up.
Do that or ask on the Manjaro forum, because they know what's happening.

I don't get why Solus is getting shilled so hard suddenly

I mean I get that it has optimizations for new CPUs but doesn't Gentoo also do this by default?

I.e. let me set up my Linux to use the cool SSE3/4/AVX shit like Clear Linux? Or is Gentoo not doing this?

Why exactly is unity so hated? I tried out mate and cinnamon and they're both pretty underwhelming

>>57599460
>Why exactly is unity so hated?
Bloated would be a compliment to describe unity.

>>57599460
I use it, it's fine. I have used all the others btw, and GNOME and KDE especially are more bloated. MATE is unstable and shit. Xfeces is just shit but werks.

The best thing about Unity and the reason I said fuck it and switched was how it sets up compositing out of the fucking box. Xfeces would have been the best if it realised people are not stuck in the 90s any more.

>>57599486
It's hardly bloated for what it allows you to do.

It idles at 500mb for me, which is acceptable for people like me who are on 8GB+ RAM. Stop being a hue and buy some fucking RAM.

>>57599511

I have a lot of ram, but it's not for bloated softwares coded by code monkeys.

move to network-mismanager or wicd and disable dhcpcd/net.eth0 in init

since it's gentoo both work without pötteringd

>>57599406
Solus is binary isn't it? Having those optimizations without needing to compile is probably the reason. Don't know though, looks shit to me.

CPU optimizations don't make it that fast, you can see a difference sometimes but it's not really night and day. Maybe the DE itself is quite light and fast. What does fast mean anyway? Fast to boot? Fast to load programs? Fast to render video?

Hello /fglt/s.

Has anyone tried installing OpenRC on Manjaro?

Anyone know how?
The current instructions on the Manjaro wiki are a little outdated.

>>57599917
No. I just try it. I got a black screen. I read the whole man page they don't describe the shortcut for spawning a terminal.

>>57599962
Why? Just install based Gentoo Linux

>>57599962
The process should be the same.
Or just follow the arch wiki, it's pretty much the same as well.

I find this cool.

>>57599972
It has example configs. copy them and you are set to go.
>spawn terminal
Not the WM's task. It's bundled with sxhkd for that kind of actions. (config in the same examples folder)

>>57599952
1. set up rtorrent with php interface
2. any console based client like btdownloadcurses via ssh

>>57600038
>It has example configs. copy them and you are set to go.
That's not what I call out of the box.

>>57600069
Well, strictly speaking, it works without anything perfectly.

Problem is you want a wallpaper, a panel and keyboard daemon to be part of the WM.

>>57600095
No, I want a shortcuts to spawn terminals and to move windows. That's all I ask to a windows manager.

>>57600146
>I want a shortcuts to spawn terminals and to move windows
all the actions with windows are written in the man pages for bspwm. Shortcuts you can choose your own.

>>57600174
I want it to provide those shortcuts our of the box.

>>57600200
If you want to memorize, instead of using your own, it comes bundled with the config file.
Just copy it for the current user.

The post above this reeks of bait.

>>57600225
Have you read a dictionary at the definition of "out of the box".

>>57599539

>>57600271
>a feature or functionality of a product that works immediately after installation without any configuration or modification
It does. If you need additional features, it comes with configs. You don't need to configure anything. You just copy them and run.

I highly doubt that

That defeats half the plusses at least

Now keep in mind all i'm gonna do is start an ftp and perforce server.

>>57600447
Yes. I just add few shortcuts for deadbeef. I use xterm for almost everything so default config is perfect.

>>57600486
For each their own, I guess. I never got used to default shortcuts.

Did you fix tearing at least?

>>57600506
>Did you fix tearing at least?
Tearing? I use mostly xterm. Tearing is only with videos, but I don't use my computer for videos. I use it only for programming and browsing 4chan (with firefox).

>>57600458
Why would CentOS be wrong?
That's good or Debian stable.
You want low maintenance distros
for servers.

>>57600517
>Tearing is only with videos,
Ok, if you take xterm and try to wobble it around, it will tear.

>>57600534
My xterms never move. They use the whole desktop. I never see tearing with them.

>>57600577
I've seen tearing in non-moving xterms.

>>57600644
How can you see tearing in a terminal?

thinking I fucked up the kernel, although I can see it with ifconfig, and I checked my card and enable exactly that option for it.. no idea at this point, thanks for the help
it seems like it sends a request to the DHCP server(my router) and it actually gives out a lease (I checked it on my router), but dhcpcd doesn't receive it at all

>>57599555
very nice, anon.
thank you.
>that kde, tho

>>57600577
what do you do it fullscreen terminal?

>>57600667
Hard to describe the effect, but it seemed like a part of it wasn't on the right position on the screen and even did hide the part that should have been below it on the screen. Very anjavascript:;noying and I'm not even sure who fucked it up. (Probably Gnome though)

>>57600715

"I'm a little girl when I wear a skirt": they use free software already.

>>57600749
>Are you sure it's a tearing problem?
No, it's just my best guess. Never found out how to really fix it, just avoided the problem by not using Gnome3 anymore.

>Does a ^L fix it?
I wouldn't call clearing the non-properly displayed content a fix.
