So I fixed it, you would never guess, it was a monitor setting.

does (k)ubuntu have a system restore thingy? My install is fucked up when I tried to install proprietary drivers. I can still access the tty but it doesn't load up the desktop.

i forgot my debian (stable) password from my installation 3 months ago, what do I do

Can I use neovim to copy and paste from the system clipboard? How is it done? Do I need to set up the nvimrc?

>>58241608
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reset_root_password

>>58241636
Well in regular vim the + register is the system clipboard. So think "+Y to copy the current line into the clipboard, or "+p to paste. You can also use the * register. In Windows, they're the same, but they are different in Linux for reasons I can't remember.

Ok, so I just finished installing Ubuntu, customized some stuff, and am wondering why doesn't 4chan x properly work.

Either way, is there a "best" music and video player for this, as well as office-like programs? Or are the pre-installed ones already good enough?

I also think I accidentally formatted the Ubuntu partition while trying to format my pendrive, but I'm posting this from Ubuntu, so I'm not exactly sure what happened.

I'm thinking about setting up a linux from scratch system as my first linux system in many years (used to run arch about 4 years ago, have been back on windows since and will have a main windows machine). Is it a bad idea to attempt this as someone who hasn't used linux in a good while but isn't computer illiterate? Auxillary questions: is wayland worth looking into and how are package managers handled in LFS? (beyond lfs only briefly goes into them)

Is running linux on a 2-in-1 viable or a bad idea? And what should I look into if I want to?

Is there a reasonable (lightweight) set of tools for Linux for user switching, screen locking, and suspending?
For example, with the login manager LXDM if you switch user that new user can just press ctrl+alt+F7 and have access to the previous users session without entering their password. There should be some kind of screen locking or something to prevent this.

I think wanting user switching with screen locking, or suspending with screen locking is a very reasonable thing. But the only solutions I can find involve some delicate scripting and config file edits that don't feel very reliable.

I've only tried LXDM and tried setting it up with i3lock. Is there something else I should be using?
and I don't think I should have to be installing any gnome dependencies for something so simple.

STOP RECOMMENDING DEBIAN

You are all completely stupid. Debian is outdated and insecure. More over, it's just a noobuntu spin that was made to attract power users. All it's maintainers are SJW and the distro is sponsored by jews and the liberal media.
The Debian project shows through it's public statements and manifests that it's clearly no aligned with the moral Christian values that made the US the great nation it came to be.
It's degenerate.

Arch Linux is superior to it in every way. It has bleeding edge packages, what means more stability and security, since you get all the last bug fixes.
It's rolling release, it doesn't randomly breaks during version updates.
It's also more configurable and extensible. On overall you just have more control over your computer.
Anyone that is serious about their OS uses Arch.

It does, but when the other option is nouveau, which has blobs regardless, I'd rather use proprietary. Here's hoping AMD gets the chance to merge a huge portion of their code eventually. AMDGPU is apparently decent as an open stack so I wouldn't mind buying their RX480 when 95W TDP is the standard all around, maybe even Vega cold be an option.

Always use a different one. Set up your own vpn or proxy on an anonymously paid vps on the netherlands, russia or some east europe country.

If the server is compromised they can only trace your activity for the last, say one week.

Also use noscript, disconnect, https-everywhere and stop-fingerprint.

Don't maximize your browser window. Always use 1024x768 or some other generic resolution.

Never word emails so they can have only one interpretation. gpg is a plus.

On arch, why does upgrading a single package routinely break it? I mean, it's not that difficult to look at stderr and find out which shared library I need to update as well, but shouldn't the package manager know that in order to upgrade package X it needs to upgrade shared library Y as well?

>>58245302
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux is in fact GNU. Linux is not part of the operating system itself, but is the kernel that is not covered by the naming system of an operating system as defined by common sense.

Many users run operating systems such as Windows, OSX, and a variant of BSD yet do not use a cumbersome naming system that includes the kernel, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, GNU has been the exception to this for no reason and has just been called "Linux" for no good reason, and many others use the insane, cumbersome term "GNU/Linux", mostly because the GNU project doesn't want you to think that Linux is a part of GNU.

There really is a Linux, and it's not part of GNU, but it's a kernel, and no one really specifies using it. GNU is the OS; the actual base system you interact with, and is useful with any compatible kernel; it can function with many different kernels such as GNU Hurd or even kFreeBSD, so the whole system should only specify the kernel when it matters, because all these kernels are really irrelevant regarding GNU.

You brought it up.

I'm trying to recover some data off my note 5. It has been turned off immediately after the deletion, wifi/data turned off, and is rooted with usb debugging enabled. It has terminal emulator and busybox installed.

I'm trying to copy /dev/block/mmcblk0 (the whole partition) to an OTG USB (which is twice in capacity than the phone btw). Nothing I do works.

I tried adb pull (via wifi) to the usb (/storage/UsbDriveA/), doesn't work.
I tried cat, doesn't work
I tried dd, doesn't work
I tried to output via nc, doesn't work.

It doesn't work I've concluded because of permissions set to mmcblk0 (179) but when I try to chmod 777 it doesn't work. Tried setting the permission with filexplorer, doesn't work either although it shows that the permissions have been set. I suspect this because the programs finish/exit, and the output file has been created, but is 0 bytes in size. This happens even though all these apps -have- ROOT permissions and the owner of the mmcblk0 is ROOT.

Any suggestions?

I'll use testdisk and photorec to recover the files (videos).

I think I'm missing some very fundamental point.

>>58245627

ARCH IS THE BEST YOU FAGGOTS

You are all completely stupid. Debian is outdated and insecure. More over, it's just a noobuntu spin that was made to attract power users. All it's maintainers are SJW and the distro is sponsored by jews and the liberal media.
The Debian project shows through it's public statements and manifests that it's clearly no aligned with the moral Christian values that made the US the great nation it came to be.
It's degenerate.

Arch Linux is superior to it in every way. It has bleeding edge packages, what means more stability and security, since you get all the last bug fixes.
It's rolling release, it doesn't randomly breaks during version updates.
It's also more configurable and extensible. On overall you just have more control over your computer.
Anyone that is serious about their OS uses Arch.

Ubuntu and Debian does the same thing. If I'm going to use sudo, I don't see why the administrator account should be unlocked.

>If I'm going to use sudo, I don't see why the administrator account should be unlocked
Ok, I agree that it doesn't hurt to disable root. But why delete the password?

>>58245950
The only way to get access to /etc/shadow is being root. Only root can read it.
Now let's suppose you somehow get the hash of the normal user account that can use sudo.
You just crack it and use sudo. Now you are root.

>>58246000
If you don't put in a password for Debian, it blanks it and locks the account. Same result if you delete and lock.

>>58246000
Okay, let's fix it: It's one (1) less attack surface.

>>58245982
I did so and it asked for authentication. What was the purpose of that command?

>>58246000
>Now let's suppose you somehow get the hash of the normal user account that can use sudo. You just crack it and use sudo. Now you are root.
How is that different from cracking the root password?

>>58245938
Used pv and it wasn't moving...at all, for some 2 minutes. Sent a break command. Couple of times.

>>58246029
It doesn't lock.

>>58246031
It's the same thing as not using enabling sudo for administrative purposes at all.

>>58246121
It's not. That's the point. It's not safer to disable root and enable sudo for administrative purposes.

You could even say it's less safe, there could be a keylogger that starts at the normal user login. Now you get the users password and the administrative password.

This could be avoided by only using root by logging off and then login in as root.

>>58245163
Chill the fuck out guy, I love arch and I'm fine with it but I've had that particular problem a few times now and it's really irking me.
For instance, I just installed mpv but when I tried to run it it immediately complained about ffmpeg; I installed the newer ffmpeg in a single command, but why was the package manager oblivious to this need? Is the versioning information for mpv incorrect in the repo? Something to do with minor versions implying that the upgrade is unnecessary?

>>58245965
yes, you like a distro for plebs which makes you a pleb.

>>58246154
I'm not in the botnet so I don't use phones.
What exactly are you doing? You log into the phone via ssh and copy the data?

Do you try to read from the device block the kernel creates for the phone?
Is the phone in MPD mode or something like this. It's three letters and starts with MP. There are two of those modes. In one your phone behaves like a pen drive, in the other like a media device.

>>58246029
I think it doesn't blank either. It throws an error or uses the same as the main user.

>>58244732
GNOME isn't even that bad. Filepicker with thumbnails bigger than ants fucking where? Goddamn shitcunts.

>>58246174
You raise a valid point. So would using su also be bad or just only login as root when you want to install something?

>>58246276
Only login as root seems like the best option. It protects you against low privilege malware.

>I did so and it asked for authentication.

Give you a root shell. On mine it works, so now I give a password to root, maybe it worked because I didn't disallow root login.

Different view: the technical aspect doesn't matter, since the system is unlike windows or mac always a combination of many different programs which isn't always with GNU (alpine, etc) or always with Linux (debian, parabola, etc). Pointing out GNU when you use the combination of GNU and Linux makes people aware of the reason/the idea why the whole thing even exists: freedom. And freedom is fucking nice. Thanks to RMS and GNU, we have Free Software and the GPL, Torvalds could compile Linux run it with a c-lib and a userland and the whole shit is just here like a gift from heaven.

4chan is contrarian personified.

when the surface internet didn't care about your stance on theism 4chan userbase (at least the vocal part) were staunch atheists. as soon as atheism got trendy on social media 4chan userbase (again the vocal part) started roleplaying their deus vults.

same thing happened wit the political stance.
during when bush (republican) was in office 4chan userbase (largely composed of americans back then) loved to ridicule the republican ideas and morals in a way that resembles modern liberals pretty well.

but then we got obama.
and the pendulum swung right.

i expect the same thing to happen with trump but I'm not so sure since the whole Trump election attracted a fair share of newcomers that might not have the same contrarian attitude to life.

I know what FAT32 is, but the 4GB file size limit makes it unusable for me considering I have to transfer large movie files.

>>58247905
Since when has nazi been left wing?

>>58247984
>4GB file size limit
split

>>58247921
why did you use a descriptive word first and then started using shit like "conservative" and "liberal" which have literally no meaning since both of them in the US are currently leftists.
>>58247992
since the very inception of the ideology. it's in the name too, as if the ideas themselves weren't blatantly leftist enough.

>>58247992
through technicalities, national socialism is left wing on some countries' political spectrum.

>>58248020
Call /pol/ leftist on /pol/ and count how many times you're told to jump into an oven.

>>58247602
>outing yourself

>>58248063
by no means is it just on "some countries'" political spectrum. it's a leftist ideology with leftist ideas at its core and nothing can possibly change that. if it's a spin on national socialism with all the leftism removed it isn't national socialism at that point.
>>58248070
i actually have and the more intelligent ones of them can notice basic truths about the world like their ideology (socialism) being leftism.

>>58247602
Racism, homophobia, misogyny, and anti-Semitism is part of 4chan culture.

>>58248070
/pol/ is just the popular and watered down version of their ideology though. and i am pretty sure they don't even read their own left wing literature.

>>58248130
>>58248169
For socialists, they constantly bitch about socialism like welfare and national healthcare.

>>58248169
/ pol/ is just a safe space for edgy kids who cant into /k/ ate their school

>>58248004
If I split and then merge the files, I assume I won't be able to seed them anymore for >muh ratio. It's also a huge pain in the ass. I'll give it a try, though. Do I have to download shit or does it just werk?

>>58248205
>I assume I won't be able to seed them anymore for >muh ratio
Why? The joined file is still the same file.

>>58248194
>they constantly bitch about socialism
Yeah, they bitch about international socialism. Which is another, more popular branch of leftist retardation.
>welfare and national healthcare.
they just don't like blacks having it. they would be totally on board with it being available only to whites only and you would've known this had you just talked to them.

I'm trying to install texlive-full, but I get :

E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/

On pic related, the error, my df -h and the commands I ran to solve it (it didn't change anything)

>>58248295
Obviously my question is : how do I solve that ?

>>58247616
Thanks. I'll give that a look.

>>58248275
I see them bitch all the time all the time about neets on welfare, board views them as niggers.

>>58248333
yes, they are indeed opposed to "degenerates" using welfare. they have no problem with the concept itself though and this fully displays their leftism.

>>58248394
Let me ask you, last time you called /pol/ leftist, how many accused you of being a shill?

>>58248417
A lot on /pol/ itself, not so much on other boards where most of my interactions with them took place. They usually defend purely leftist economic concepts and some of them even admit their leftism but they are pretty rare.

>>58248295
Use ncdu to find what is taking up space on /var.

>>58248630
thanks I didn't know that tool, it was my lists.old
it weighed 673.3 MB lol, I should learn to clean my shit
ditched it and it works

Why do most generals have premature ejaculators? What is the point of making a new thread when this one is still alright and the general traffic isn't high?

>>58248896
lurk moar

>>58249053
That doesn't answer anything. Unless you want to be on the front page, making early threads when there are images and pages available doesn't make sense.

>>58248274
You're right, I tested it out to be sure. I just remember trying that years ago and not being able to seed anything, guess I fucked up something along the way as retarded kids are wont to do.
