Can anyone recommend a cheap VPS provider?
Some requirements:
>EU-based, Netherlands preferably
>4$ per month
>KVM

I've been with RamNode for a while and they're not too bad, but I think I can get a better deal elsewhere.

Im getting stutter and extremelly low OpenGL performance with cpu N3050

ANY help is appreciated

>>57604445
>I still don't understand what botnet means

>>57604359
Gentoo devs took it out of their repository because it was too insecure and hardly maintained to keep it. This was a few years ago now.

>>57604436
nah you'll be fine sempai

>>57604436
A few important points:
1) Either look for info in winehq.org AppDB or test games yourself, no other way to find out how things will run. You can find many very useful tips and per-application configurations in AppDB as well.

2) Even if the game could run on a toaster, it wouldn't work in Wine if your game uses DX12 or even DX11. There isn't sufficient support for either of them in Wine currently. DX11 may come in a year or two, but DX12 is a pipe dream at this point.

3) Dualbooting is an option. It sucks, but it's something.

>>57604471
>i tested all of these things in <60 seconds
I dont use icecat, but after reading lots of stuff and tweaking my FF, I can understand people want to use icecat instead

I found a package but it says it's for ALT Linux. Would downloading it be a problem?

I'm having a problem where Ubuntu 16.04 is losing my preferred settings every time I shut my computer down, in particular the keyboard layout reverts to US instead of UK and the touch pad re-activate, both GUI and command prompt methods of changing them don't stay on restart

Also the OS partition constantly fills up with log files that can't be deleted from the GUI, that I have to manually remove from command line every month or so

Anyway to automate this?

>>57606414
I have no idea what you are talking about.
If you want to download and compile it then you can do. Would it be a problem? Maybe, maybe not. Manually installing stuff can be. Use /usr/local/ as the prefix.

Recently installed debian onto a netbook and global commands like ifconfig dont seem to work everywhere. They only work if I go into the folder and directly call them.

Anyone know how to get this to work?

>>57603114
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?

>>57606222
Your file system is probably corrupted. fsck it

Is openbox still the best non tiling light wm? I like having floating windows for GUI stuff and I just use tmux for terminals

>>57607027
What do you mean "whichever I chose to boot first"? you mean from the BIOS or where do you choose it from?

>>57604293
ctrl+l

>>57606976
>global commands like ifconfig dont seem to work everywhere. They only work if I go into the folder and directly call them.
Sounds like the directory where those commands are located are not in $PATH.

do
echo $PATH to check if the path to those files is present there

How can I set up a key shortcut to open a directory of audio files in deadbeef (or any other program) in kde plasma?

>>57607129
So if i choose fedora hard drive in the UEFI to boot first, it will boot into Fedora without asking me if i want to boot into windows.

If i choose to boot windows hard drive first, it will boot into windows, without asking if i want to boot into Fedora.

>>57607027
If you have both OSes or separate drives the BIOS/UEFI (or in this case you) pick which harddrive is the boot device and which is the secondary drive.

The boot procedure simplified goes like this

BIOS >> find boot device >> boot bootloader on the chosen device >> bootloader boots the OS

Grub2 will ask you which OS you want to boot if you have two+ OSes on one boot device.

>>57607136
That was it. Added sbin to the path and now its working. Many thanks.

>>57607143
settings > keyboard > keyboard shortcuts

then look for in

man dolphin

for the proper command to open your file browser in your ~/Music or wherever you keep your audio in.

>>57607165
Don't the UEFI have a grub or uefi-os option?

Check your grub config, you probably have to add a timeout to select the OS,

>>57607181
That's the problem, both devices are on a separate drive, yet Fedora asks me what version of Fedora i want to boot into, but there is no Windows option.

>>57607185
Bear in mind that /usr/sbin is not in regular user's $PATH by design and not by accident.

But if it's a single-user machine then proceed and don't worry, just saying

>>57607217
Yeah i changed the grub-config to 4 seconds. Still didnt work.

I will check the UEFI now

>>57607223
wait, so you CAN boot into grub, but windows doesn't show up in it? is that your problem?

>>57607202
I would already be in the directory with music it in, I just want to select the directory and do the shortcut to add it to deadbeef.
I mean, I know how to create shortcuts but I don't know how to find out what I need to put to open the selection with the program I want it to open with. It seems to be no documentation. What options can I pass?

>>57607223
>yet Fedora asks me what version of Fedora i want to boot into, but there is no Windows option.
That's GRUB asking you what version of Fedora you want to boot because Fedora is a distro with rapid release cycle and for safety of it's users keeps at least two versions of the Linux kernel at the same time so if shit goes wrong after a kernel update you can boot the previously working configuration and fix the problem.

>but there is no Windows option.
And there won't be, because in your configuration GRUB is a bootloader for Fedora and the bootloader for WIndows (MBR or whatever this shit is called) is on the other HDD/device.

If the GRUB menu bothers you and you want to hide it (not disable) refer to
https://jamielinux.com/blog/hide-grub-menu-on-fedora/

>>57607246
Well sort of see
>>57607300
The GRUB for fedora does not bother me and is handy, it's just i want a windows option

>>57607246
I don't have a grub option on the uefi. I changed something to 3 seconds in the UEFI, probably the splash screen on startup.

>>57607371
>i want a windows option
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2#Adding_Other_operating_systems_to_the_GRUB_2_menu

You have to add an entry where the boot device is the boot partition of your Windows drive.

>>57607071
I did do that but it didn't help. Reinstalling now from a backup of my OS that i had kept. I've got 2 assignments' deadlines coming up in less than a week so i can't be bothered troubleshooting. Thank you, and anyone else, who ended up replying to me.

No its kwin. No screen tearing, smooth animation, great look. Install KDE Plasma, its so good.

>>57607698
Gnome 2 was god tier. Now that redhat has the gnome team by the balls, its turn into a over simplified, yet bloated, desktop enviroment only for degenerates you don't know anything about linux. Also its systemd dependent, which is completely unnecessary, and is only for the purpose to force the systemd/redhat botnet onto you.

>>57608298
>not an argument
Explain?

>>57608361
Everything you just said is wrong, screen tearing still happends on a lot of cases, there's also problems with the animation and the "great look" is really subjective, to me KDE doesn't look good at all, and no, not only on toasters.

and before you go full shill and ask for source on the problems, a quick search on your favourite engine should be enough.

>>57608443
Screen tearing only happens on proprietary drivers where you cannot enable the opengl compositor, and have to use the Xrender one. With the opengl compositor on the latest amdgpu drivers, I have no screen tearing at all.

KDE 4 I agree looks like shit, but KDE 5 looks amazing, even KDE 4 could look good with some themeing.

Also I just wanted for you to provide a basic argument, not just "HAHAHAHA no". I was not asking for sources or anything, I know how to use a search engine efficiently.

>>57608546
>KDE 5 looks amazing
Not really, no. It looks preety shitty.

>>57608546
>screen tearing only happens

if it happens, then why did you lied and said it didn't?

>>57608629
How? Unified flat breeze theme, that even works on gtk programs, and smooth, tear-free animations. What's not to like?

>>57608661
But thats in the case of a misconfiguration, KDE shouldn't be run on proprietary drivers. Here's an analogy: Just because X cannot run without a X driver, doesn't mean X cannot run on a graphics card.

>>57608719
>using the oficial drivers is a misconfiguration

are you for real now?

>>57608719
animations are crap, the taskbar doesn't look good, and about that theme looks awful, what's to like?

>>57608719
A decent DE should work fine with both, propietary and open source drivers.

I have an idea for a gui interface that allows for an easy way to install different types of servers with a few clicks.

Just think about how time consuming it is to set up ftp or email. You have to go through config after config, using outdated articles to piece yourself through getting a correct install.

My question is, is there something like it already? I'm thinking of just packaging docker

What cards work nice with free drivers?

>>57609055
What are you talking about? "works on my machine" isn't really an argument either


KDE is known for having problems with prorietary drivers, if it works for you, great, but that doesn't mean it works for everyone.

If you really are curious about why >>57608546
said you shouldn't use it with proprietary drivers, that's the reason, there's more people who've had problems using the proprietary drivers that people that hasn't had problems with them.

i found out that windows has bash so i no longer plan on going through the ordeal of figuring out how to dual boot the pc i'm buying myself for black friday. the only thing i'm worrying about is that i'll get used to using the desktop and watch porn on it and the NSA will see all my porn viewing habits

You can't make this up, kek.

In KDE is there a way to quickly just associate one program with all filestypes it can run? I want to assign Smplayer as my default media player and foobar as my defualt music player. The default settings require me to make an individual association for each filetype manually though. Surely there is a better way.

>>57610489

what is wrong with you

why i love arch
-system processes are not hidden behind a user interface
-arch is easier for me to understand
-arch is easier for me to fix issues
-arch wiki/documentation is by far better ie.more detailed
-arch is more fun
-AUR is INCREDIBLE, notes from users and developers
-arch takes less time for me to customize (easier to install few than uninstall many)
-arch comes with a sense of accomplishment
-some things are better in terminal, some graphical
-arch is more up-to-date (this benefited me specifically)
-you learn more about computer using arch (two types of people, developers and users?)

>>57610596
nice memes

>>57610596
>for me
heh

>>57610596

This.

I used to play with Ubuntu, then Mint, then Elementary, then back to Mint, then to Arch.

Every distro except arch had system processes running that I didn't use like samba; Samba's service was up even when I don't want to connect to Windows shares.

Arch wiki is literally the best wiki I could find related to linux. Give me man pages and the Arch Wiki and I'll fix any problem. AUR is also great--many more packages than any other package manager.

I use the terminal much more than I do in arch. I could type it faster than I could click and drag folders.

Updates are great; Linux updates with more features and getting more stable every update.

Without installing arch, I could've given two shits less about GRUB or systemd. You know your system inside-out

>>57610593
clementine is a bloated POS, audacious is perfect but for some reason doesn't output to my bluetooth and after 30 minutes troubleshooting I gave up. foobar, even in wine, just werks. I'm already familiar with it too and have a good system up for bulk tagging and whatnot. Also the jews need some vector mine my computer for data so i feel like including some closed source windows software will please them, thus lessening the chance they will be angry adn actively attack me.

most importantly it's none of your business so you can get your butt out of here and don't like the door hit your butt on the way out.

>>57610586
yeah you can't, you need to adjust the program preference order for each filetype. It's not a big deal there aren't that many, it just feels clunky.

>>57610736
why aren't you using qmmp instead

>>57610772
foobar works fine so why bother?

also as another point about clementine. The dev removes features/options, because he feels if idiots use them they won't know how to undo it. so he purposely dumbs down the interface to the lowest common denominator. I have no idea why it's so highly regarded, it's itunes level shit.

>>57605638
Try using a bridged connection instead of NAT.

>>57610805
foobar combined with wine add extra failure points in you system.
looks like you really like clementine though

>>57611298

I've been using xubuntu for a while and I love it, but I'm having few problems that are hard to ignore.

When I log in after opening my laptop lid to wake it up from suspend, everything is frozen. It happens maybe 3/4ths of the time I resume from suspend. I cannot do anything except for force shutdown. I have reinstalled the distro with no luck.

Has anyone encountered this with xubuntu or Ubuntu 16 in general? This really disrupts my daily usage, and I'm thinking about switching distros even though everything else about xubuntu is literally perfect for me atm.

Any other recommendations that are similar in usability and 'just werks out tha box'? How is fedora xfce?

Hey /g/, I'm wondering what exactly bloat is. Can you give me an example?

>>57611625
You're probably doing it wrong

>>57612032
arch, gnu, debian, mint, ubuntu, memejaro, linux
these are the most bloated things out there

>>57612032
bloat is when you have superfluous stuff on your system that you don't use and/or need
a good example for bloat is arch linux, its packages include source code headers documents and lots of stuff you don't use and/or need

>>57612083
Huzzah!

It's actually pretty lightweight due to package splitting.

>>57612134
say for example you have a media player that has a bunch of configurations for streaming from last FM, spotify, soundcloud etc etc, but you never use that shit and can't get rid of it. Or your web browser has a heap of accessibility options for blind or deaf people, but you aren't blind or deaf. that's bloat. if something is not bloated it means it simply does and includes nothing but what you require.

>>57612153
>not using based Windows/NT as your operating system

>>57612175
every package there has a copy of the communist manifesto and capital in it so no, it's not lightweight by any stretch of the imagination

>>57612183

New to linux and I'm trying to build an application package from source.

1. When I build the package, there are a lot of files that show up, is it safe to delete those?

2. I'd like to have the application package so I could install it to other machines, How do I do this?

3. When building and installing packages from source it won't be managed by the package manger, how do I make it so that the package manger can delete it?

>>57613149
1. It's save to delete them, since you can re-download the source code any time. You can also keep it, if you need the "make uninstall" feature, when the makefile supports it.

2./3. No idea about other distros (I guess there are simliar tools), but on Debian you can use checkinstall, which creates a package you can save somewhere and installs it.

4. >>>/a/

Sup /g/.

Been thinking of doing some small research and find out about 5 really good distros that are not talked about frequently enough. That is, unpopular but still fairly good distros for different purposes.

Could you help me out with this? I consider these popular so I shall rule them out: Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Gentoo, Slackware, Mint.

I didn't find any reason why this problem follow me every time. I have an raspberry pi with jessie on it. After installing and upgrading my system, I need to have ssh access to the rpi. after a successfull connection over ssh, the connection will be closed after a while, without no reason. when this happend, I can't connect again over ssh to thr rpi. I had changed the devices where I tried to connect to the rpi, I started the networking process new, I started the sshd new, I started the rpi complete new and wrote the image a second time on the sd card, nothing helped... any ideas?
