what causes this to happen?

Let me interject for a moment. What you are referring to as GNU/Linux is, in fact, wayland/arch/systemd/GNU/Linux. Or, as I like to call it, systemd Plus Linux Plus Some Other Shit.

>>57757706

So, instead of cleaning up and repartiotioning my internall hdd, buying a cheap thumb drive and installing linux on that is an option? Would that cause any problems?

I asked in the previous thread about mounting. Turns out I was wrong, there is no /mount, but /media for mounting. Why is there both /media and /mnt for mounting? Which would I use for temporary mounting like a CD-ROM drive or USB drive?

I have a problem, I'm dual booting with Windows and it seems like Linux is setting system clock to be my regular clock while Windows is using system clock as Greenwich time because there's always constant difference.

If someone faced this problem, can you give me leads?

>>57757752

>>57757933
There is /media, /run/media, /mnt etc

>>57757933
Actually not true, there's rules. I've read in some Linux magazine (take a look at your local newspaper stand, they seel couple of these magazines and they are literally crammed with useful information).

One was for removable media, one was for media that has to be mounted virtually or some shit.

Well, the bad thing with memes and bait is, newcomers may think shit's real and because this it's a friendly thread, we should post informative stuff.

This may be a really dumb question, but if there anything one should have installed/enabled (that isn't by default on ububtu 16.04) for protection such as an anti-virus?

Coming from windows, I'm just so used to seeing nod32 just sitting there and giving me the feel good knowing that it's just there (and hopefully working even tho I cba to update nod32 password)

>>57767450
you don't need anti-virus programs because there are no viruses, and even if you write one for gnu/linux, they need execute rights in order to do anything bad. so they will ask you for your password first. use common sense and you're alright. if you want to check your files for windows viruses, use clamav

>>57767450
There is no such thing like "Viruses", only programs that do things. To be save, don't run programs that do things that you don't want or programs that hide what they are doing like proprietary software.

>>57767450
Feel safe answer:

Install firejail, a program that puts other programs into a safe sandbox.
Usage: $ firejail firefox
Easy like that

Install ufw, since iptables is pretty difficult.
Check the archwiki about how to configure it.

Don't copy paste any codes from websites/blogs, especially oneliners like: $ curl something.io | bash or basically anything you see on /g/

Don't use PPA's, the AUR or other user repos, which allow any literlly who people to execute stuff on your machine. If you really need to, check the source first, and disable the repo after you installed the program.

WINE is not an emulator or a VM. Any windows program that you run in WINE can harm your system.

Linux is the name of the kernel that Linus Torvalds developed starting in 1991. The operating system in which Linux is used is basically GNU with Linux added. To call the whole system “Linux” is both unfair and confusing. Please call the complete system GNU/Linux, both to give the GNU Project credit and to distinguish the whole system from the kernel alone.

Is there any way to change the order of the icons on the bar to the left easily?

Is there anyway to change the order of the icons on the top bar? Also, is it possible to change the font and put a little bit more space in between the icons up there? For example, I have the day/date/time and it's very crunched together

Also if I install gnome and use that instead of unity, will that remove the bar on the left?

Will I need to retweak everything all over again if I switch to gnome?

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.

Unity is the least customizable of all DEs. If you want to switch DEs, switch your Ubuntu flavor altogether instead of installing a million DEs. Download Ubuntu gnome, kubuntu, xubuntu, etc and run them all live to see which one you like before reinstalling clean

>>57768683
unity is hard to hack, tried it myself and mostly you end up hacking the source code
what you can do: kill unity and use an alternative panel like tint2 or lemonbar, but it would all end up too hacky...

if you want to rice your system, take a look at this resources: https://rizonrice.github.io/resources

Can this be simplified with a one awk call? A GNU grep or sed equivalent is fine too.

>>57768895
why installing a new system in order to switch the de? are you stupid?

>>57768938
once you install 1 DE it tends to be pretty hard to fully remove it, and it will always taint the system.

>>57768938
a DE is ALWAYS a crude, ugly, very ugly hack and you simply can't be sure that switching to another DE woun't prick your system
try to get rid of KDE for example and switch to gnome, you end up with lots of KDE crap leftovers

basically, it SHOULD work to switch DEs, but in reality, it's horrors

>>57768937
Do you want only the number or the leading space and x too?

>>57768938
Having multiple DEs, login managers, etc is very messy and you can't always get rid of all of it. It takes 20min to install a distro, and the anon days he's been using it for 2 days so it's not like this is some super important or configured machine

All you need in root is /boot and /home.
You can sudo rm- rf those /mnt /media or /run/media folders and just do
mkdir -p ~/myownmountfolder && mount /dev/sdb1 ~/myownmountfolder for anything you want to mount.

Your file managers or udiskctl will probably complain though. Just remove them and use a terminal to browse files.

hey /g/, I just installed arch linux, but the fonts do not look alright like on windows, what do?

I'm using an Ubuntu-based distro, and since this afternoon, when I boot, I only get the wallpaper after login, no dock or anything else.

From what I've read this can be caused by installing some package, but the last time I used it I just coppied some files from an external HDD to the computer's NTFS partition and that's it.

wat do

If you will use your tablet a lot, your biggest problem will be adjusting your tablet's drawing area and assigning buttons. If you have a Wacom tablet, the most common tool is a cli. I usually prefer command line tools but this is an exception, configuring a tablet like this is painful. Unless you plan to just set it once and never configure again, search for a tool with a GUI for your device's brand. I've found some that depends on a specific DE to work (Plasma/KDE).

Other than that, I've had no issues with anything else. Buttons and strips just work. Pressure curves/sensitivity can be configured directly and most drawing programs, like Gimp and Krita, has their own adjustment utilities.

Dear enlightened gentoomen, I have a question. I've acquired an old dell latitude d610 laptop with 1GB of ram. I want to install linux, but I'm only (semi) familiar with ubuntu and mint. This device is low end, and after some googling I've narrowed the search to the following distros: xubuntu and lubuntu.

Which one to install? How well-supported is the d610 in terms of drivers?

>>57771209
Lubuntu or a distro with LXDE is the only correct option for a PC with <2GB memory.

what are some of the lightest ubuntu-based distros for old systems ? is lubuntu lighter than xubuntu ? i just want something with the same package system

>>57771250
yes lubuntu is lighter

>>57761779

Ubuntu is fine, despite the botnet memes.

>>57771309
i dont like unity
besides, this laptop only got a gig of ram so i want something light

>>57771453
Have you've tried another derivative of Ubunutu or do they not work as well?

You can uninstall unity and switch to another more lightweight DE if you can't switch.

>>57771453
Kubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu mate, ubuntu gnome, minimal install+openbox, etc etc.

>>57771309
they ain't no memes, friend

>>57771487
yeah but i could just download an ubuntu variant with the DE i want anyway.
whats the point of downloading the version with the one DE i cannot stand.

Hey guys, anyone know how I can easily set up the TuxGuitar software synth so I can actually hear what I'm supposed to be playing? I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.5. Right now when I press "play" in Tuxguitar the notes are highlighted as they should be, but no sound output. I checked that nothing is muted in pavucontrol.

What distro has the best HiDPI support? I've tried a couple Ubuntu variants, and they've all been pretty awful. I really only have experience with Ubuntu, but I'm willing to try others. Pls no Arch or >install gentoo

>>57772566
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.

What's so bad about Mint? Is something like Ubuntu MATE any better then?

>>57772889
read this article http://www.techrepublic.com/article/why-the-linux-mint-hack-is-an-indicator-of-a-larger-problem/
ubuntu MATE is a good starting point

>>57772889
Yep. Mint is basically ubuntu with very bad hacked together rice and in order to keep the rice working, Mint blocks updates for major programs like the kernel, the init, X, etc. So, let's say some kernel exploit was found, all distros get security updates, but if you're using Linux Mint, you woun't and have to wait for a new version of Mint.

tl;dr mint is a bad version of ubuntu colored green

>>57772962
if it's so bad, then why it's so popular? literally all websites recommend mint when i google for "best linux distro"

>>57772999
easy for normalfags, lures them in with 'ezpz! we even install flash for you!'

>>57772962
>>57772906
Ok. That settles it, thanks for explaining that. Ubuntu MATE it is then.
The website has 16.10 and 16.04 up which one should I get as someone completely oblivious to Linux?

>>57772999
noobs want GNU/Linux to behave like Windows
Linux Mint behaves like Windows, and it does the job really good; bad security, violating licences, being shit, friendly to normalfags
that said, I guess the only reason why mint is so popular is because their website was cracked and people searched for linux mint and pushed the click counter on distrowatch (IMHO)

>>57773015
Just in case, basically this disussion at the kernel list: https://lwn.net/Articles/676664/
related blacklist: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/blob/master/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintUpdate/rules

People need to stop shilling Mint. It may be comfy for Windows refugees who come "straight outta botnet" and in this case, using Linux Mint is ofc better, but people will not get the full security any enjoyment of using a GNU/Linux distro here

>>57772395

I also spent a few hours today just ricing
how rustled are you guys?

I'm gonna install Manjaro for dualboot with windows.
Mainly for software development purpouses.
So a few questions:
I'm using Manjaro because I felt it comfortable last time I had it. Is there any good reason not to pick it? Is there a distro that's more suited to software development than another?
How much harddrive space should I leave open for the manjaro install? Windows can obviously only read NTFS but a linux can read many more file systems. So I'm thinking I should just leave it the bare minimum (and maybe a few GB more for 'safety'). Any flaws with that idea?
Other are there any other concerns I should have?

I'm only using Windows 7 and I'm very unlikely to upgrade without getting a new PC.

Just a preference or is there solid reasons?
I really have no clue on the Linux family tree. I've ran Mint, Ubuntu and Manjaro. Manjaro having been the most slick experience by far.

>>57773480
if you feel most comfortable using it, do it. don't let /g/ memes influence you.
i don't really like the way arch works, its tiny repos, and AUR being unaudited & written by idiots, the package manager (last time i checked) didn't verify packages after downloading them, and its community is trash. but if manjaro suits your needs best then it's that you should be using

>>57773389
Noone actually thinks arch is hardcore, some people just think that other people think its hardcore and use it because they think that.
I havnt installed arch from scratch but I cant imagine its much different in process from a debian netinst. Install in a few hours, most of thats downloading, spend a day or two ricing it up or just download a DE and get going immediately, things generally work fine.
Hell I should replace my antergos with arch when I get some time.

Huh? Do you have proof of ownership? I don't see any signs of this being true. Or are you an fsf cuck by any chance? I thought you guys don't recognize private property.

Take this ownership dispute to /b/.

I don't trust them to be a truly rational and independent arbitrator... sorry

This discussion doesn't belong here or any other board. Maybe /s4s/.

This thread is my property and I'm expelling all spooks.
Out. All of you.

>>57775481
How come? This thread is my private property so surely talking about the thread belongs here
>>57775516
I don't believe this is true... You'll have to leave before I remove you from the premises myself

so, who owns the thread?

>>57775923
I do.

Is anyone using 3g usb modem?
