How can we ever know these search engines respect our privacy? With something like a free-software messaging app like signal one could check the source and see what it's sending; or even check if the key you use is actually your friend's public key and not your servers'. But with a search engine you have to send it what you want to search, and simply by visiting the website they can figure out a lot about you, such as whether you use certain plugins, your IP if not on VPN, if not faking one they can read the browser agent, etc. and track it all.

Why is this a selling point for a Linux distribution? Does Linux still have the same problems it did back in 2001 when I tried Debian and ended up using FreeBSD? Genuinely wondering, I didn't seem to have any problems when I was messing around with Funtoo in bhyve, but I admit I haven't tried for long enough.

>>58579302
The truth is you can't know what any site does with your data. There's completely passive fingerprinting via IP block and userstring tracking can be enough to identify you, and while you can guard against them, it involves tor and a user-agent-switcher (which switches your user-agent for every visit with enough entropy that it can't be fingerprinted), all of which requires you to know all of that, which most people don't and never will.

Has anyone here ever tried helping the GNU project? I'd like to help but don't really know how. They have this page with how to help but it doesn't really give the info you need.
On github I'd just fork, fix, pull-request. No issues for me? look at the issue tracker. Everything easily accessible. But savannah is a bitch to navigate and things like how to make a pull request aren't really clear.

The Ubuntu help form said that there is a bug with the Ubuntu version of the mss-corefont package, and a manual install of the debian package would fix the error.

Guess what, NixOS. But it downloads .debs under the hood, I have no idea why it wouldn't work in Ubuntu.

>>58579460

I think it's better than back in 2001. I kind of love FreeBSD as an idea. Absolute FreeBSD by Michael W. Lucas is one of my favorite books. Not just tech books but in general. It's about how a system is engineered not grown, about meritocracy and reliability and all. A bit like The Mysterious Island or something. The tech Utopia. The wireless drivers though...

What are you all using for system backups, /g/? I liked rsync and Clonezilla

Another question from the Ubuntu anon. Is there a program for voice control of linux? My googling only revealed a terminal based voice commander from 2004. I want a free open source program that works like cortana, or siri, or Ok google.

>>58579641
There's a school of philosophy that goes something like this: Software is more important than hardware, so you select your hardware in such a fashion that the software you want can run on it. It dates back to at least the 70s and UNIXs inception, and is probably older even than than that.

I already have a working command. Is there a simple way to make the festival voice command sound less robotic and more natural and pleasant?

echo "$(cat test.txt)" | festival --tts

>>58579769

I agree, but I'm not sure the operating system is that important. I don't backup /bin, I backup /home and /etc. I want my environment. As long as an OS can run it I don't care what it is. I think that in that school of philosophy the OS would be something between the software and the hardware. I can install an OS in something like 15 minutes, it's my dotfiles, ssh keys and a list of packages (configured so that they cooperate) what matters.

>>58580085
See, that's just completely nuts to me. My OS and its configuration is as important as my data - and that's where root on zpool with snapshots and beadm is nice for these reasons:
1) Let's say I upgrade FreeBSD and it fails spectacularily, leaving me with a system that's completely unbootable? Revert to the snapshot I took just before upgrading, and my system files will be back in the working state they were in, whereas my user files (both personal in my home directory and elsewhere; such as my media library and collections of rare stuff) are completely untouched either by the upgrade or the snapshot.
2) Now let's imagine lightning strikes and fucking destroyes my server completely so that it's incapable of even POSTing or powering on (something a UPS won't protect against)? I grab my tapes and use them to restore up to the last week, then grab the remaining data from Spideroak and I'll have lost up to an hours work, no more.
3) If my house burns down from the lightning strike? I restore up to the nearest month and grab the rest from SpiderOak.

My data is safe.

thanks

>>58580394
they all aim to make the experience as easy as possible. if you worry about free software use debian instead of ubuntu.

>>58580316

So are mine. I can rollback to several previous states.

If my laptop burns, I ask the helpdesk for a new one, grab my org file from github, tangle it (which places all the configuration files in the right places), run nixos-rebuild --switch and the packages get installed, I then checkout my work stuff from repos and restore personal stuff with rsnapshot.

If it's a server, I install OS with xcat, install the environment with Puppet and restore the data with bareos.

Backup policy has nothing to do with OS.

HW and OS are just something to host your environment and your data. HW, OS, configuration and data are more or less independent, and you can have different ways to backup and restore them and make them cooperate.

>>58580561
I don't think you understand how ZFS snapshots work. They're atomic and filesystem-wide, I can revert to any snapshot I want ever since I installed FreeBSD on top of ZFS.

Can I just use VM to open up the image and then install it "properly" as if were bootable USB /CD

You can't do it improperly. It won't wipe windows. It'll install in the VM's attached storage and you don't run any risk of wiping data.

I think you're baiting me, but I'll bite, given that this is allegedly a friendly thread. If you want to wipe Windows and only boot that OS, you have to boot to the installation media from the BIOS, either via CD or USB. Any virtualized installation you do will be restricted the the virtual machine, leaving your hard disk intact.

I just downloaded and installed arch via architect and apparently that shit doesn't work anymore. Is there anything other than arch anywhere that is analogous?

Anyone knows at what framerate GTK3 applications run? I'm using a dual monitor setup (one 60Hz, another 144Hz). If I scroll in GTK2 (e.g. thunar, leafpad), it's super smooth. But if I scroll in GTK3 (e.g. pcmanfm, l3afpad), it's 60Hz-like choppy.

Currently using XFCE with compositing disabled, because I think there's an X11 bug or limitation which causes X11 to run at the lower refresh rate of two monitors if compositing is enabled. Hell, I don't even know if there's a bug report yet.

Enjoy your problems because Unity requires some modified versions of packages not in Arch's repository and you'll have to install it from the AUR which will conflict with the versions in the official repository.

>always up to date software via AUR.
Do you even know what the AUR is? Do you know how Arch works? Because judging from that stupid stereotype sentence I don't think you do.

>>58580394
Install Arch. Arch will at least give you a better understanding of how the linux architecture works. Just booting a live operating system and using a graphical installer will not help you learn. Watch a video or read an article on how to install Arch.

>>58585070

>Arch will at least give you a better understanding of how the linux architecture works.
No, it won't. Everything you can do on Arch can be done on other distributions. If someone wants to learn about the "Linux architecture", he should look at Linux's source or read books about kernel development.

Kill yourself.

I just updated my Manjaro build and suddenly my mouse button remaps and acceleration via xinput and xset just stopped working.

The settings have been sitting in my .xinitrc for a few years now, working perfectly.

Did something change?

>>58585078
What he means is that he'll learn to operate linux, and learn what components make up the OS. That's a very good reason to install arch.

What are you even trying to say?

What's wrong with Pulse Audio/ the PA Controller? It just werks when I use it to balance out my channels.

>>58585197

No, you don't learn more about which components make up "Linux" by installing or using Arch. You can achieve the same thing with other distributions. Other distributions have minimal installers as well.
Don't stop killing yourself.

>>58585205

That to install Unity on Arch, you will have to replace some packages from the official repositories with custom ones which might mess things up.

Archdevs don't want you to have choice so they'll probably fuck you up if you do that. I'd recommend using a different distro or taking it up the ass and switching your configs to libinput

>>58585586

Search the forums and stop using Infinality.

>>58585624

All it takes to use the old evdev driver is one line in an Xorg config. Libinput is the future and its X driver has some options the evdev one doesn't.

>>58585680
Yes, for now. Until they suddenly deprecate evdev and you wonder why your inputs don't work one morning

So I'm running Debian and trying to add Btrfs volumes to fstab and no matter what I do it causes Debian to fail to boot. How do I do this?

>>58585737

Who deprecates evdev? Arch doesn't develop the evdev X drivers. They don't develop X. Those drivers being deprecated would affect every distribution (and it has, because there's no reason not to go with libinput if it does everything you want).

You have no idea what you're talking about, you just want to appear smart by bashing things you've seen others bash. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Why the fuck do the partitions I create with fdisk never match in size? Its not even real hard drives its logical ones from a virtual machine. I count the cylinders do my math ignore the extra that do not divide into 15 evenly. Then I crate 15 partitions with exactly 139 cylinders each. And somehow two of the fucking partitions have about 143 more blocks then the other 13.

Why is this fucked I am trying to make disks for an oracle disk management thing for a database and it wants them to match.

>>58585472
Well fuck, now my answer is redundant. It has nothing to do with being destined to be a graphical system or not. It simply doesn't allow for files to execute by default. This is a sane thing to do. Windows does the opposite. That's why you can have someone download a .jpg, rename it to .hta and execute it.

>>58586241

Alright the number of blocks isn't evenly divisible by the number of cylinders how does this work? Think if I get the partitions as close as I can oracle wont tell me to go fuck myself when I try to get it to manage the partitions.

Don't use Ubuntu. That OS is awful. It's great for people just starting off I guess, but once you learn the basics you should just drop that pile of crud and pick something up like Slackware, Gentoo, Arch, etc. Slackware and Debian are a breeze to install with guided installers like Ubuntu and doesn't suck nearly as hard. Arch is a very easy command line install that will familiarize yourself with how Linux really works.

>>58586946

Dont listen to this man he is not your friend. Ignore slackware and arch. You can get debian or fedora if you want.

>nstall Arch. Arch will at least give you a better understanding of how the linux architecture works. Just booting a live operating system and using a graphical installer will not help you learn. Watch a video or read an article on how to install Arch.
I couldn't agree with you more. People should use https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/arch-linux-efi-install-guide/ and just install Arch and get off Ubuntu and Mint. I know they have these pretty graphical installers and they're easy to get up and running, but that is doing people an injustice because the rest of Linux isn't that guided. It's about knowing to execute commands, and what commands to execute. You never really learn Linux by using those easy mode guided distros.

The above guide really lays out how to install Arch, and it's my go to install guide. It's laid out so well that if you struggle to install it then you're probably just a retard who should stick to Windows anyways.

>>58587065
Did you try to completely wipe out your partitions? Boot up a live CD like SystemRescueCd (Google it, install it on a thumb drive) run something like parted when you get in it or you can launch the graphical interface and run GParted if you are more comfortable with that. Wipe out ALL of the partitions on your Ubuntu drive. Then boot back into your Ubuntu USB drive and try to reinstall it.

Only thing I can think of as to why it would freeze. If your mouse is still movable it's a soft freeze and it's likely not hardware related.

>>58587087
Oh right, I haven't tried to wipe partitions with GParted yet, and I got a win 8 installed as well for the times I want to use an USB modem, but that doesn't want to start eithereither.

Those are all terrible choices, but if I had to pick, Ubuntu. It's a derivative like the rest, but it's the least meme.

Also, you should give Arch Anywhere / Architect a shot if you were considering Arch. They're installers but you still get regular Arch instead of a filthy modified distro like you do with Manjaro/Antergos.

>>58580858
Arch isn't actually complicated or full autist in the slightest. Some salty anons had a bad experience or were scared off the install and then started all these rumors. It's basically just an alternative to Debian with a better package manager and a few things to make the user's life easier, such as the AUR.

Is there a good and easy framework to use for zsh instead of creating my own config painfully over weeks and months?

>>58587847
I feel that zsh is too bloated. It adds lots of stuff a shell shouldn't do like playing tetris, etc. As a long term bash user, I see that many people switch to zsh for inane reasons like, a colored ps1, extend globbing, etc, which all is available with bash too, but not enabled by default to keep it lightweight.
zsh can be useful for newcomers, because of its autocompletition, but that's it. I guess the reason why zsh is so popular is because os x comes with a very old version of bash and instead of updating their shit, macfags installed zsh and created blogs about how amazing it is - and new loonix users searching for a colored ps1 followed their advise.

We have something like here in Poland.
It's called aero2. You file a request for a SIM card online and pay the cost of registration/sim card/some initial cost I assume. It's roughly 10 USD iirc.

The simcard provides you with unlimited (as in data cap) internet access. The download/upload speed is limited to 512kbps.
But I browsed 4chinz and sent/received emails in bumfuck nowhere so it's "good enough".

>>58588334
It means you're not in a UEFI environment. If you're using the official Gentoo LiveCD, you have to rename the efi image it creates and move it to another folder. Or you can use a real live CD such as SystemRescueCd that will actually boot UEFI.

I was baffled that in 2017 they still have not added UEFI support to the Gentoo live CD, and there;s absolutely no excuse for that considering the SystemRescueCd LiveCD is fucking built off of Gentoo. If you dig further into the handbook, they even tell you that you need to boot off a UEFI medium to properly install GRUB2, or to execute the proper commands to rename and move the efi image to the proper folder.

The Gentoo LiveCD is still stuck on the fucking 80's. It's a disgrace.

My bad, I mean the minimal installation CD. I actually didn't realize they had two different mediums. I thought the minimal installation CD, which I've been calling the LiveCD was it. I was unaware there is actually a real LiveCD. I guess I should read more.

But yeah, the minimal installation CD should have UEFI support by now... that's the medium I've always installed Gentoo from.

And they need to start adding support for network adapters that are in popular motherboards, like the Atheros Killer E2200 chipset that's in the MSI Gaming 5 motherboard. I was absolutely floored when I found out how horrible the support for this network chipset is in Gentoo. Works like a champ off the minimal install CD, but once I complete my base install and reboot network no longer works. Network device is down, I bring it up manually and it's pulling a localhost loopback IP address, even after going through all the configuration of setting up the symbolic link between net.lo and net.enp3s0 (my eth device), setting up DHCP, rc-updating the service to start on boot up (it starts, DHCP just can't give it a real address). Even after recomplining the kernel using the network driver that is supposed to work with this chipset, I still had no luck.

Finally I said fuck it and installed Arch.

So yeah, if you are on an MSI Gaming 5 motherboard, or running any motherboard that uses the same Atheros Killer E2200 chipset that's in this motherboard, just beware that your internet may work in the live environment, but once you are booting into your kernel you are likely to run into issues because of shit support, no matter how you end up compiling the drivers in your kernel. The funny thing is some people can get it to work, I played with it for days with no luck before reinstalling Arch.

Or perhaps I'm just a retard.

you dont need the DVD/CD just install from Ubuntu or another Distro.

>>58589569
you do realize there is nothing stopping you from doing this yourself and submitting it to the developers

Strange, I was using the LiveDVD from a usb drive that I confirmed through my motherboard to be loading in UEFI mode.
I'm actually kind of mad now.

Now what?

The archwiki has a nice page for synaptics here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

but what about using libinput? THe libinput page is much shorter and doesn't really go over in much detail all the options and such for a touchpad

>>58590634
Xfce. It's light, mature, themeable, and hasn't failed me once.
Mate is close second, but still has some rough edges.
LXDE is one huge fractal of rough edges made out of rough edges.

You should get a separate compositor like compton, though.

>>58590730
I'll do that once xorg finishes emerging

OC welcome!

It feels like one needs a black belt in shell scripting in order to write portable shell scripts. Is it better to simply write scripts targeting one shell like pure bash scripts?

Hello friends,

I have recently received a chink bluetooth keyboard and mint recognizes it only as a keypad. I have searched on line to no avail. Obviously I have tried turning numlock off.

I am using a thinkpad.

So bamboo just nuked all of my feeds and due to the nature of my backups, it already synced the folder with the nuked feeds. I hate everything.
Any recommendation of a RSS reader that isn't total dogshit? It even took its damn time just loading the feeds and sometimes it stayed in an infinite loop. I am very mad right now.
Really tempted to just embrace the botnet and switch back to Chromium.

>>58591074
Don't worry. Bash is the most popular shell.

>>58590684
What's the lightest distro that runs xorg?

>>58591117

>got X and it dun work
is not a very good problem description

You obviously haven't search online so stop lying.

>>58591074
Just use sh as your interpreter instead of bash, that's the main issue with portability.

>>58591074
There's a rule in programming: Use the right tool for the right task.
For instance, when you write a small oneliner for a hotkey or something like that, use POSIX sh, since it's faster. More complex stuff should be done in bash. Even more complex stuff, targeting cli should be done in C.

>>58588843
I had to use ftplugin-overrule in the end. Although now smartindent won't autoindent functions but it will for conditionals. Oh well.

>>58591074
I'm using this in VIM (with synastic):

It tells you when you're using a bashism in sh scripts.

im on a t420 and installed Manjaro. Somehow I keep getting lags on everyday tasks. e.g. if I scroll down a webpage, a delay of maybe 0.5-1s happens and it then fastforwards quickly or when I attach a file to a mail.

i dont find any appropriate fix. can somebody give me a hint where/what to look for or knows this problem?

>>58591134
Unironically gentoo

>>58579560
You need to actually be in the directory or use the absolute path. You can't do dpkg -i from ~ because it's in ~/Downloads

Or bad troll

>>58587357
I always used the netinstall before this, so that's why it caught me offguard. Is it normal for the CD install because I was about to file a bug report?

Guess I should just stick to what I know.

I am currently running debian and I want to install arch on a hard disk (not the one where my OS is), how could that be achieved?

>>58591739
Make a partition, filesystem, chroot into it and pacstrap.

If you want a binary distro, devuan and void are better.

>>58591739
download arch iso
write it to a removable storage
run the installation
during partitioning process pick the installation drive youre interested in

done my friend, hope it was useful

GNOME and KDE are absolute trainwrecks compared to Unity, how do you faggots put up with this shit?

The massively-increased memory usage alone is enough reason to not use that shit ever.

literally neither are in active development, and do a significantly worse job than unity for any desktop task.

To install a linux distro using a USB do I really need a lot of GB's on the device? I'd imagine I wouldn't. I'm considering buying a lot-of-5 USB's but they all have 16GB, isn't that overkill to just install a distro even 8GB? I'm putting DBAN on one of them too.

>>58592378
GNU/Linux*

>>58592378
16 is definitely overkill.
8 probably as well, unless you are downloading all existing Debian packages for that Live USB.

I don't think you'll need more than 2 GB, but those might be hard to come by now.

Glad this thread is still going.
I have an old smartphone with Andriod in it.

Is rooted.
I want to put linux onto it but really do not know how.

I want to start a script on start up. I call it from the bash configuration file, but (since I always have a terminal program open) it executes twice. One for the tty1 and one for the console program.

I want to run it only from the terminal program. Is there a simple way to do it that doesn't need a $(tty) check?
