/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

if I've changed /bin/sh to dash, removing bash shouldnt cause any problems on debian, right?
Or will it, because important things start with #!/bin/bash?

Why is ubuntu cinnamon not a thing?
Where can I find the official repos for Cinnamon? I find tons of unofficial ones, but no official ones.

Is it true that bash was developed by someone black?

>>58109724
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Fox_(computer_programmer)
yeah

Does anyone know if you can replace bash?

>>58109699
You can install zsh and rename your /usr/bin/zsh to /bin/bash

>>58109746
yes. all you have to do is delete your /bin directory. It contains bash. When your system reboota it will automatically regenerate the required items in /bin

>>58109720

Cinnamon is in the Ubuntu repositories.

>>58109783
Thanks.
>>58109818
Won't that fuck up my system? I just want to get rid of bash, not any other programs.

>>58109739

>Mr. Fox also built the first interactive
>Mr. Fox

Why is this so funny?

>>58109783
Im using fish as my interactive shell, and havnt managed to make zsh as comfy when I've tried it, so I guess I'll just leave it installed.
I mean, maybe I could make /bin/bash point to dash too, since its bash but gimped, but I dont know if thatd break any of the scripts that grepping everything in /etc tells me use bash. Itd probably break something.

You can trick the scripts by renaming bash to zsh as well. zsh is compatible to bash


Thank the KDE Shill later

>>58109955
That's supposed to break my system though. I still want to have a working system.

>>58109842
it will. permanently. /bin contains a bit more that just bash you see, and those things cant be rebuilt via reboot. Just delete the content of your bash folder and paste the content of your zsh folder where bash stuff used to be

It isn't, it is compatible to ksh, which is simliar to bash but not the same thing.

yup, that's a good idea as well

>>58110018
Oh, will it work in a VM? I'm gonna test it out first so I don't break anything

So I want to install debian, and keep windows 7 on my machine too. I have a 465 gb hdd, with a 100 mb boot partition and ~180 gb of data on my C: partition. I read somewhere that I need to put my boot partition for debian on the first 1024 cylinders of the hdd, so is there some way to move my C: parition up to make room for the debian boot partition?

I was just being informative m8.
>>58109995
but again, I felt like maybe removing bash because im using fish for an interactive shell, and dash as login shell and /bin/sh, so Im not using it anywhere except these scripts. If I installed zsh, I wouldnt be using it anywhere either in the very same way. So theres no reason to bother changing it to zsh.

Hey /g/, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?

>>58110415
Gentoo

>>58110297
Why do you say that, anon? Because I felt like removing something I'm not using?
Its not like im hellbent on getting it out to keep my system pure and aryan, I just felt like Im not making use of it, so may as well remove if it it wouldnt break other stuff. Though I see now that it probably would, and the only ways to prevent it either leave another shell Im not doing anything with around, or probably would break something anyways.
Its very confusing and strange why you'd think that just because I felt like removing something and asked my friends in /fglt/ if it'd be safe.
Looking down on others as 'skiddies' or 'retard noobs' because they wondered if they could do something you know probably wouldnt work is a very bitter, angry outlook to have.

>>58110358
find out for yourself
go to its website and search for the software you'd wanna install, see if theres stuff missing.

>>58110684
The only thing that should matter is how the software performs, not who made it. It's free software for Christ's sake, you're not even supporting him by having it on your system.

>>58110725
>should be easy to install, and use and have a wealth of software
according to your own preference. why do you think anyone else cares about what a "daily driver" "should" do for you? also I hope you understand that "easy to install" is in no way a real metric since not everyone is as retarded as you.

>>58110751
ok douchemonger let's hear your whacked out idea of what a daily driver is

>>58110741
Not really though, are you saying you are okay with using software made by someone known for creating malicious programs which just empty their user's bank account?

Was this an attempt at a joke? If so, it failed miserably.

>>58110751
>>58110725
>>58110700
What does or does not work as a "daily driver" depends entirely on ones preferences
If your preferences make tinycore perfectly acceptable as your daily driver thats good for you and you should enjoy using it
If talking about an OS Being acceptable as a "daily driver" or not IN GENERAL, we're talking about most peoples preferences.
For the way most people use a "daily driver," very little software amongst other things disqualifies something from being a good daily driver
enough
>stop liking what I dont like
and
>stop not liking what I like

>>58110773
i don't have one since i don't use fucking stupid terms like "daily driver" when the things a person does on his machine daily are subjective to the point of having no real way to even formulate such a definition. for example a "daily driver" for me must has a certain compiler for a certain language. it's a pretty good metric for me but meaningless for pretty much anyone else.

Pretty much, not just his "black" though but the things that he might have done to the software because of his black. I just don't trust them and I don't want to use anything created by them. And I haven't said that you can possibly become black by using black software. I'm not black yet and I have used his shell.

I don't even go there though.

I think merit is directly tied to the programmer. You are a retard if you think otherwise since that would imply a shitty programmer can make a good program which is by definition impossible.

Friends,

I would like to switch to Ubuntu-MATE from Windows 8.1 on my main laptop.

The main reasons I haven't so far:
>The sound is fucking ugly - I have some Dolby Audio driver on my Windows 8.1 and high quality headphones and they don't fucking compare.
>SAS (not a major issue as I have to use virtualisation for this shit anyway)
>OneNote (Word/Excel+VBA and the other general shit).

So I need to be able to listen to high quality audio and conveniently use MS Office without any compatibility issues (so Wine is out).

I'm thinking a Virtual Machine with Windows 8.1, but I don't know if a VLC Window from Windows on a Linux desktop will solve the Audio issue. I also don't know if it will be slow.

Can someone throw me a bone?

This is a contradiction tho, judging things based on their merit is to literally only judge it on how it performs, not any of the shit that doesn't correlate to the function of a program, such as who programmed it. Keep doing mental gymnastics to justify your faggotry.

How does one change the text color of the labels of items in the Firefox menu through the userChrome.css file? Specifically the History submenu (pic related).
Context: I installed the Arc Dark theme for Firefox and saw that the font color for bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar hasn't changed i.e. my bookmarks were just black text on a dark background. After some mild research, I added the following to my userChrome.css file:

.toolbarbutton-text {
color: white !important;
}

However, this apparently also changed the text color for recent history items in the Firefox menu because DOM Inspector reports that they are also considered toolbarbutton, just like bookmarks, and since the theme didn't apply to the menu, I now have white text on light background in the History submenu. Essentially, how can I change the text color of everything in, as it were, PanelUI-HistoryItems? And optionally, the same but for zoom-reset-button and PanelUI-customize in the parent menu?

there is no best distro.

>>58112818
why?

>>58112761
It depends what you need.

For me, it's arch linux. It's the only distro with fcitx-mozc, the best japanese IME software. Other distros only have ibus-mozc which is actually completely broken and requires you to click your mouse and select before you can type instead of it being automatic like fctix with a keyboard shortcut. I'm not willing to resort to anthy over mozc, so other distros are not for me. I also enjoy having new software, so another point to arch for that.

>>58112819
>secret club
Noone says its secret and exclusive, but you shouldn't go to websites and post without understanding their culture or being able to blend in.
Its the same as fat, obnoxious tourists walking around foreign countries being demanding dumb fucks.

it isn't thats why you should go back

if you would value any 4chan culture, you wouldnt post here

>>58112899
Why would there be a 'best distro'? Why would a heirarchy of distros from best to worst be the natural state? There is no best distro and expecting there would be and needing an explanation for why theres not is stupid.

u wot. Im using ibus-mozc right now and it goes in and out of 日本語モード with C-\
You need to ensure you're in JP mode by default and rebind the keys for exiting composition/precomposition/etc and entering composition modes to something other than their defaults(jap keyboard keys)

Retard.

>>58113008
Alright, maybe it's been fixed but last time I used it (which was a couple of years ago) it was impossible to change the keyboard bindings to something else. it just didn't work. There were bug reports about it if you don't believe me. You just went straight into romaji mode everytime and had to select it from the tray icon, it sucked.

could someone PLEASE point me to a retard-friendly resource for setting up a linux virtualization machine with vga passthrough for a windows guest?

My desktop has intel integrated graphics, and an nvidia card, and I want to pass the nvidia card to a windows guest.

Every single guide I have found online seems very complex, and dependent on the writer's specific setup.

Do you guys know of any tutorials that make it easy to set up this kind of system?

I am really used to Debian, and I would prefer to keep using it.

I said 'implies,' not shows. Context. It doesnt explicitly demonstrate it, no, but if im talking about how the shortcut works for me, its obvious thats demonstrating how I can quickly activate and close the IME, because Im using the shortcut. Why would someone implicitly lie like that?
None of this matters though, because you're clearly in internet-argument mode, where you will go to any means to assure yourself the other one is wrong and a complete faggot. Think whatever you want.

What is the best distro for japanese people?

was going to install Arch, decided to go full GENTOO just to test my patience.

The last distro I used was Xubuntu.

A couple questions: I'm going with the 2gb Hybrid ISO (cause I assume that's the one I need to do a full installation onto my computer) and I want to know what the difference is between multilib and 32ul. I'm using Gentoo primarily for listening to music/browsing/writing/learning how to program in C.

>>58113522
Can someone give answer you cunts

>>58113760
go with the smallest livecd.

gentoo or funtoo?

>>58113769
Fucking context would be a great place to start,lang too

>>58113754
Probably suse or ubuntu. Something that is actually released in Japanese. But there are Japanese people using arch right now. I learned about font rendering from a Japanese arch user's blog years ago.

Linux isn't very popular in Japan, though. The marketshare from windows is super high. even in comparison to western countries.

>>58113716
I stopped caring a few posts ago but its fun to get people to say really dumb stuff like "you dont know im not constructing these posts out of individual letters from everyone elses, so you're a total retard if you assume with confidence that I'm not."

>>58113801
don't even see any reason to use funtoo.

>>58113831

why are so many people falling for meme distros like arch and gentoo?

>>58113850
I heard development on it was slowing down.

The main difference is stage 3 precompiled for your specific architecture. And it's easier/faster to install. It's preconfigured for UTF-8 and has some installation scripts and precompiled kernel already installed. I'ts the lazy man's gentoo.

>>58113850
not necessarily. you could try out both though. as far as i know it doesn't even use a non-python package manager like exherbo does so there's literally no reason to use it.

>>58113903
Because they're actually the best distros.

Arch and Gentoo moreso are good for learning about GNU+Linux because they force you to learn things like configuring and compiling the Linux kernel.

They're also simpler than Debian derivatives internally. Arch PKGBUILDs and Gentoo ebuilds are both less complex than Debian packaging. Developers like them for this reason.

For users, Debian derivatives are easier.
For developers, Gentoo and Arch can be easier.

I wouldn't recommend Gentoo and Arch for most actual work though. Having to play sysadmin takes time that could be spent on actually being productive.

Keen to dive deeper into GNU(+Linux)?
Install Gentoo for a year or two
Then switch to Debian to apply what you've learned and focus on productivity

this is how I know you haven't even installed it.
Is this really what you fags believe? You don't learn anything except kernel configuration from gentoo and I'm saying this as someone who has installed it over 10 times at this point on different hardware. "learning" about Linux minus GNU isn't a reason to use Gentoo.

>>58114067
Haha
He's right though.

Newer software than most distros. Small default base install. Easy to set up (seriously). Other distros are way more complicated. I hate when things try to configure everything automatically. I only want my computer to do what I tell it to do.

I'm so fucking tired of bloatware bullshit I can hardly run my macbook pro because of fucking chrome.

I'm done with this shit so I'm going all out and installing a lightweight linux distro. I'm thinking arch linux but I'm a bit intimidated. How hard would it be to get started with it (using it, installing it as a dual boot, etc.)

>>58114166
>Other distros are way more complicated. I hate when things try to configure everything automatically. I only want my computer to do what I tell it to do.

I read it was the most lightweight distro? What do you suggest that's still user friendly (or wouldn't take a 4 year degree to learn to work with)

>>58114203
>I read it was the most lightweight distro?
It's a userbase meme. Packages are pretty huge and it uses more memory than Debian or Gentoo.

Hey, I'm setting up my new pc now, copied over all my config files etc from the other Linux computer.
Now I'm trying to copy some files from /usr/local/bin. They're just bash scripts I made, but when I try to copy them using scp or just cp after sshfs'ing the old computer's file system, I get:

cp: cannot stat 'poo-in-loo.sh': Permission denied

How do I fix that? I tried chow anon poo-in-loo.sh, I tried copying it to a local user-writable directory (on the new computer) first, to no avail.

>>58114249

>>58114203
its "light" in that it doesnt come with anything and you download a WM or a DE yourself. You can get the same thing from any other distro.
It'll still be very easy on your memory if you use a light DE or a WM though. But again, so will any other distro.

>>58114263

For someone at least a little familiar with how stuff works on linux and using the command line.
It'd be hard for someone whos completely new. Yes, reading the wiki and manpages is hard if you have no prior experience.
>What does this mean exactly??
>am I doing it right???
>im gonna break something and they're just gonna call me a retard if I ask for help
>Im just copypasting and following instructions oh god I have no idea what im doing
You dont need alot of prior experience, but at least a little. Like, a few weeks using an easy distro and toying with stuff sometimes, at least, for it not to be hard.

Use a distro with a graphical installer that comes with a desktop enviornment first. XFCE and LXDE/LXQT are the lightweight desktop enviornments. You dont even have to switch once you would be able to if you're comfortable enough with what you have.
Unless you feel like just doing trial by fire and slogging through it till you figure everything out. You dont have to, just do it if you actually wanna.

>>58114432
It has the same browsers as other operating systems. There are lighter ones available but they suck. Just use whichever one you prefer.

Install vim and learn how to use it. Type "vimtutor" to go through a tutorial. Emacs is for dorks, don't use it.

They don't suck, they're for different tastes than his or yours. Or mine, really. They have their approach and people who like it would like them.
Do learn vim though, its extremely convenient.
Libreoffice is the office suite on linux, for word and stuff.
Speedcrunch is a pretty nice calculator program.
smplayer is a good video player. You can use mpv with it. bomi isnt bad either. And of course, mpv itself is also good.
Clementine and deadbeef are music players players. I like the latter because I can make it look how my foobar did on windows.

I'm in my 3rd day of spending ~4 hours a day fucking with Kubuntu and I really still have no idea what I'm doing.

I've memorized a couple of cli commands and learned where the most basic of system files live, elementary shit.

There is still shit not working properly on my system. Nobody seems to know what the issue is. If I bring up my issue step one is someone accusing me of fucking up. If I break through that barrier, and get them to realize I did everything right, step two is they suggest a bunch of things I've already tried. Step three if whoever is helping is still engaged at that point is to flounder around trying to pull a solution out of their ass until something different happens.

In this way in about 10 hours of fucking around myself / shitposting, and 5 hours of live support from various linux IRC rooms I've gotten to where I almost have a functional system for basic tasks, but I'm still using half ass workarounds for a big problem.

So, I can either dump ubuntu and accept that most of that time was wasted, try another distro and maybe have the same problems. Or I can dump ubuntu, really write off the time as wasted and install windows. Or I can keep trying to power through getting ubuntu working right and maybe never be satisfied anyway.

Linux is demoralizing me and taking all the excitement out of having built a new PC. Is this what you guys crave?

>>58114680
OK, maybe going as far as spelling out [type of program] linux was unnecessary.
People seem to need to be told they can just search shit, though.
the worst case scenario is someone who would have searched "Dear mr. google, could you tell me what program to type my paper with, im using linux, thanks. regards, anon", so I felt like it may be worth specifying.

Nope, it's a network driver issue.

Apparently the onboard LAN on my ASUS Z170 motherboard isn't supported properly. Who'd have fucking thought.

Oh. Well, issues with hardware if you use something not well supported are a thing with linux. I Hear at least, I've not had issues with it.
If you're gonna put linux on a PC you build, you wanna make sure the parts you're using are supported, if thats so.
Sorry m8.
