Hi there /g/uys! I have a question. I want to put Linux on my computer to dual boot with Windows 7. The problem is that the only network access I have at the moment is through my phone. I can download any of the isos and transfer to my computer to make the bootable usb no problem. But it seems like a lot of distros require Internet access just to install. And tethering isn't an option. Can you recommend a distro I can do a full install for from the iso only? Thanks!

>>58339657
>uhh b-but they came from plebbit too!!
Couldn't care less.
see >>58339747

Is there a market for a

* 802.11ac with 2x2 MIMO

As far as I know there is no such thing on the market.

The one I'm not using.

I am building a media server and I require a suitable distribution, I am stuck between Debian and CentOS, I have experience with DNF if it even matters. I am more concerned with the quality and capabilities of the devs for Debian and CentOS, I know that Debian has a larger team but it seems that CentOS is run solely by professionals and experts in their field.

>>58340644

>>58340567
lol, i wasn't thinking about that, ez solution

file:///home/user/Downloads/Nocturnal.Animals.2016.HC.HDRip.XViD.AC3-ETRG

>>58340644
For such irrelevant solution I'd go for debian simply because it has a helluvalot larger repository.
Debian has a newer kernel version than CentOS so expect better hardware support as well.

RHEL/Centos doesn't come with many media features because it's not it's purpose.
And since RHEL/CentOS is based on Fedora it won't have patented codecs such as mp3 codecs, so you may find yourself having to compile shit.

Let's be frank buddy, you hardly need a mission critical system for a media server, don't you?

Feel free to ask.

Thank you for the response, I will go with Debian.

To answer your final question, no not at all, simply a media server. It is just things like that which grate at me occasionally, likely due to my lack of knowledge on the topic.

>>58340791
there is some option, something power management, i think that should be off
go iwconfig and check

>>58340770
Fun fact, the parent preventing Fedora from shopping with MP3 expired in 2016

>>58340854
Well that's good to know but the current verison of centos is still F19.

>>58340644
Fedora is better than Debian for desktops and workstations, Debian is better than CentOS for servers.

I manually updated the kernel on my lts distro from 4.4 to 4.9
Is it potentially bad? So far it works well.

What options do I have to get basic voice control in GNU/Linux?

>>58340311
Looking into Fedora now. Will this include grub so I can dual boot? I promise I'm not actually retarded

>>58340896
Not that guy but yes, the Fedora installer (Anaconda) comes with everything you will need for installation. I personally recommend the Net-Installation media, as I prefer XFCE as my DE over GNOME and the Net-Install allows me to select that

why are people hating red hat?

Pretty new to Linux, been trying to use mopidy on Xubuntu running as a service, problem is that it can't access my music.

The music exists in "/media/name/Media/Audio/Music", the directory is owned by my user (it does have rwx for everyone though), but I can't chown it to user mopidy. Is there any way to allow mopidy to read these files?

My uneducated guess is it has to do with the drive being mounted by my user, but how do I solve that then?

The only error I receive is "Local media dir /media/name/Media/Audio/Music does not exist." Presumably because it can't read it.

>>58340939
you can select an alternative "spin" of fedora
so you can get boot media that runs fedora with xfce, mate, cinnamon, or a couple others, in addition to boot media that installs GNOME 3
so you can get an xfce spin that doesn't bloat you up with other DEs

>It is inadvisable to describe the free software community, or any human community, as an “ecosystem,” because that word implies the absence of ethical judgment.

>The term “ecosystem” implicitly suggests an attitude of nonjudgmental observation: don't ask how what should happen, just study and understand what does happen. In an ecosystem, some organisms consume other organisms. In ecology, we do not ask whether it is right for an owl to eat a mouse or for a mouse to eat a seed, we only observe that they do so. Species' populations grow or shrink according to the conditions; this is neither right nor wrong, merely an ecological phenomenon, even if it goes so far as the extinction of a species.

>By contrast, beings that adopt an ethical stance towards their surroundings can decide to preserve things that, without their intervention, might vanish—such as civil society, democracy, human rights, peace, public health, a stable climate, clean air and water, endangered species, traditional arts…and computer users' freedom.

What's so hard? Enable (eselect fontconfig enable blaa) slight hinting, sub pixel RGB rendering and default LCD filter. Then install Liberation and Noto fonts (with cjk USE (default) for those sweet Asian languages).

And to make sure if you have a DE use same config in it's font settings (slight hinting, rgb rendering).

Also put this shit into your ~/.Xresources

what's the point of fedora?

Hey guys I need help with the installation of Arch Linux.

So I just downloaded the package "xorg-xinit". Reading the configuration section on the ArchWiki website, I'm seeing that in order for xinitrc to start a different environment from the default(window manager or desktop environment), first I have to simply copy the xinitrc file over to my home directory

I'm using the command:

 cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

The issue is that I'm not finding the copied file anywhere so I can't proceed.

I'm not entirely sure if this is normal but my root folder is on top of my "/" which I'm assuming is the home directory.

Anyone mind helping me out? I'm ultimately trying to install i3 and begin customizing.

Even with the best hardware on the market, compiling is still many times slower than binaries.

In openbox is there a way to set one instance of an application to not have decorations?

Like say I want urxvt to open on startup with no decorations but I want all subsequent urxvts to have decorations, can I do that?

be honest, who ITT knows how to use ed?

>>58345930
I just found out I don't even have it installed, no clue why I could've sworn I had it before.

I know just the basics like how to open file, read line, edit line, save.

what's the command to convert gif to webm using ffmpeg?

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

doesn't work anymore

>>58346502

For you

>>58346502
This script uses 2-pass encoding to get close to a desired WebM file size:

#!/bin/bash
[ $# -lt 3 ] && {
    echo "usage: $0 target_size_kbyte source_file target_file additional_options"
    exit 1
}

shift

shift
additional_options="$@"

duration=$(expr `mediainfo --Inform="General;%Duration%" "$source_file"` / 1000)
target_bitrate=$((8 * $target_size_kbyte / $duration))

echo "target_bitrate: ${target_bitrate}k"

avconv -i "$source_file" -vcodec libvpx -an \
    -b:v ${target_bitrate}K -minrate ${target_bitrate}k -maxrate ${target_bitrate}k \

anyone knows how to create interesting glitches with ffmpeg?

I just got a Lenovo Ideapad 300-17isk, does anyone know what version of linux I should load onto it? I'm new to linux but we all have to start somewhere I guess.

Also is there any way i could install it without removing the Win10 recovery partition? Just in case.

here is an image of me. i'm on the left instructing some jap kids

How do I preserve command line completion when I write a wrapper. Say I write a script whose purpose it to log. It works like

log command

which logs the output of command. For instance

log ls

which prints ls and then logs the output. I know this can be done with redirection but just an example.

However when I type log ls, I lose the command line completion that exists for ls or any other command. How can I get around this?

I know some shell builtins like time don't lose completion.

Thanks

>>58343297

FreeBSD but with a worse package manager?

>>58347445
Something like

foo () { printf -- 'Running %s \n.' "$@"; "$@"; }

?

>>58347760
Try unrar[tab]

>>58347806
needs a space,
foo unrar [tab]

anyway, if that's not what you're looking for, check out the bash manpage for the completition options.

For example, to enable completition for sudo:
complete -cf sudo

hope that helps

>>58347855
Or just use

help complete

.

>>58347855
Just to clarify unrar[tab] gives

e -- extract files to current directory
l -- list archive
lb -- list archive (bare format)
lt -- list archive (technical format)
p -- print file to stdout
t -- test archive files
v -- verbosely list archive
vb -- verbosely list archive (bare format)
vt -- verbosely list archive (technical format)
x -- extract files with full path


My primary issue was with task spooler:

http://vicerveza.homeunix.net/~viric/soft/ts/

but I've written similar programs that have lacked completion.

In any case, I'll take a closer look at how bash does completion. Thanks

>>58347918
Ahhh, now I get it. You want to autocomplete arguments, not files.

To reuse the usual stuff, check what is called by:
complete -p unrar
which outputs:
complete -F _unrar unrar
So you add a completition for foo
complete -F _unrar foo
and foo[tab] gives:
foo
e l lb lt p t v vb vt x

Have fun writing a wrapper, kek.
I guess a redirection alias with tee would be a saner solution for your logger.
