What VNC server do people use? Tightvncserver has a retarded and awkward configuration
All I want to do is to remote control my machine with my Android using bvnc (over ssh)
Couple of people in the last thread recommended x2go (NX-based) and TigerVNC but I was wondering if there was something better.

I realise it's a windows system but still. One win10 I could navigate directly to a folder, on the share and play a movie or whatever no problems. No login either.

On linux I needed to login "it was user user for the username adn password but windows never needed it) and it would always crash if I tried to stream, I had ot copy files onto my computer and then play them. idk. I have it all working now so I can stream at least.

The most lightweight browsers out there are links and dillo.
They can both display pictures but aren't fully featured and they don't support vim-like keyboard controls.

Next in the line are Dwb and Uzbl which are fully featured and support vim keybindings but they aren't minimal and they are based on webkit.

Lastly you can give up and use Firefox and Chromium with vimfx and cvim respectively for vim capability.

man, most music players look like dead abandoned projects. Deadbeef seems to be updated but last time was 8 months ago

>>58692536
gmusicbrowser if you just want simple and intuitive GUI and ease of setup for using ALSA output. Maybe a little bit buggy on graphics, like the corrupted playback control buttons, but it doesn't matter.
If you mind the buggy graphics, and/or want a Foobar2000 counterpart on Linux, then DeadBeef. It also allows easy setup to use ALSA.

you can have all the info you want in the bar and you shouldn't be looking that much at the desktop on a tiling wm
one sane way to use conky with i3 is as a replacement for i3status (direct it's output in the bar), see https://i3wm.org/docs/user-contributed/conky-i3bar.html

>>58694850
It's explicitly said he uses GNOME. MATE is a fork of GNOME. mpv isn't mplayer

>>58694822
Elliott? who?

>>58693809
Usually no, you have the

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

file for that.
You don't need NetworkManager to babysit you, all you need is wpa_supplicant, iw for discovering networks and dhcpcd (or dhclient) to acquire your IP address.
It's quite a simple config, here's how it looks

network={
    ssid="network1"
    psk="pass1"
    priority=3
}
network={
    ssid="network2"
    psk="pass2"
    priority=2
}
network={
    ssid="network3"
    psk="pass3"
    priority=2
}
network={
    ssid="network4"
    psk="pass4"
    priority=1
}

The greater the priority integer is, the higher the prioity for that network is.
If networks have the same priority, wpa_supplicant connects to the one with the stronger signal.
If, say network3 and network2 are your friends' home and your home networks (respectively), and you're at your friends', when you get home wpa_supplicant will automatically disconnect you from network3 and connect you to network2.
And maybe network1 is your phone's wifi hotspot (when you need a second IP for shitposting), because it has the highest priority you will connect to your phone's network first and when you turn off the hotspot, you'll auto connect to your home network.
It won't auto connect you to a network of higher priority if you're already connected to a network of lower priority, so you'll need to restart the service for that.

Say I wanted to set up i3 on a computer that may on occasion be used by others (mostly by me though)

Is there any way to make it intuitive for others to launch some common applications (mostly just firefox, maybe a file browser)?

I supposed I could actually write "fucking press <HOTKEYS> to launch applications" directly on the wallpaper so they would know
But is there any kind of clickable menu you can get for i3 to launch applications?

>>58694945
launcher

>>58693809
>>58694911 cont.
If you're using systemd, all you need to do is copy the systemd unit file from

/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]

to

/etc/systemd/system

and change this line

ExecStart=/usr/bin/wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-%I.conf -i%I

to

ExecStart=/usr/bin/wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i%I

because you'll probably use just that one config.
After that, enable wpa_supplicant service and the dhcpcd service like so

# systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlp3s0

# systemctl enable dhcpcd@wlp3s0

where wlp3s0 is my interface name, yours might be wlan0 for example, or something different.

You can always edit the config and restart the wpa_supplicant@<whatever> service as needed like so

# systemctl restart wpa_supplicant@wlp3s0

if you want to add a new network, for example.

1. That would be inefficient in the long run.
2. That would make you dependent on NetworkManager.
3. This way you might learn something more about networking and system maintenance, which will help you solve some problems more easily.

most of it is ok, but there are a few parts where it kind of just drops you and tells you to figure it out. getting the UEFI stuff sorted out is especially confusing on the wiki. i'm not saying its impossible to use the arch wiki, but it is DEFINITELY nowhere near as hand-holdy as the gentoo handbook is, i'm just asking if anybody knows any guides for arch that are on that level of simple

Wat do?

>>58696677
everything. I think 4.9 kernel was there too. that's my best guess as to what's causing this.

Doesn't wpa_supplicant come with a program that lets you scan for networks?

>>58696953
No, you need to use iw.
The command is

# iw dev wlp3s0 scan

but that will output a bunch of text in your terminal, so it would be better to pipe it to less if you need to see all the info

# iw dev wlp3s0 scan | less

or to grep SSID's if that's all that interests you

# iw dev wlp3s0 scan | grep SSID

Just replace wlp3s0 with the name of your interface.

I didn't install steam, this is a fresh install

>>58696598
Well at least fedora works fine without having to spend 2 days installing packages and fixing problems


By the way I asked on irc, the solution was deleting /usr/lib64/gs-plugins-11/libgs_plugin_steam.so

>>58697027
Turns out wpa_supplicant comes with wpa_cli, which you can use to scan for networks. Maybe iw is better.

That'll fuck things up eventually especially as I'm running ~amd64 ("testing"). USE flags and dependencies shift around every so often and I need to see what's changed. Besides, I actually like doing this shit manually because I'm slightly autistic like that. What's more pleasurable than checking updates, emerging them and watching the compilation?

>>58697341
Watching them fail and spend hours finding the error

>>58697367
I've run ~amd64 for a year and that has only happened a couple times (for some obscure forgotten ebuild that were fixed when I reported them). It's surprisingly stable. I guess it depends on your system too, eg. Plasma 5 might break more than Xfce which I run. Xfce basically doesn't get updates lmao

I do admit that there are occasional circular dependency problems etc. that Portage cries about but that's expected on ~amd64. They've been easy to fix :^)

You need jq for it.

I'd like to learn how to write GUI applications with Python and finally make a useful opensource app. I've googled a bunch of resources and it seems that the best way to do is is to learn GTK+.

Does anyone here actually make GUI Linux applications with Python? What do you use? How did you learn GTK+?

I'm wondering if there's any good resources to actually learn how to use GTK+ with Python... since I've come across a ton of man pages and API reference pages but none of them were beginner friendly.

Thanks!

>>58698262
>Just take an example, and start goolging :How to add an X control in pygtk?
Yeah, that's how I've been learning things for like a decade. I find it that it takes me way too long to get good at something and my knowledge is not that complete. I've come to prefer structured tutorials but those are impossible to find for (mostly) Linux-based technologies.

I'll probably resort to doing that but would like to avoid it so I don't waste too much time.

>Did the same to learn wxPython, which I find better tbqh
it seems that GTK+ is the most popular way to write GUI apps with Python so that's what I'll stick with simply because I can find more resources and/or help if I get stuck.

>>58698258
I once went through all the trouble of having a chroot and a "doesthisdeleteroot.sh" just to be safe, but nowdays I dont give a shit.

I'm currently writing an install script for Ubuntu 16.

How can I check what is being modified when I change settings in the GUI settings program so that I can modify them programatically?

>>58698309
Thanks! It works now.

>>58698310
again, it depends what the script does. if it downloads some shit automatically, DOWNLOAD it manually and check the signature yourself or add the signature checking part to the script itself.

just NEVER EVER fucking copy text out of your browser into your terminal. NEVER!

if systemd is so great and full of extra features other than it's main job, why don't they just merge those extra capabilities with the linux kernel?

whats the difference between packages like i3-gaps and i3-gaps-git?

Kernel does not like userspace, by design. Anything below device drivers and kernel modules is userspace.

well by rights it should only be removing stuff you don't use and my experience is only anecdotal, but a quick search shows other people having drivers deleted or some other stuff.

I haven't looked to deep into it because I don't use apt anymore, but I'm guessing you could use autoremove to list what it will remove first then review the list and exclude anything you still want before running it.

Do you guys keep systemd logs? I had something like 500MB of logs on my machine and just removed them all. I almost never look at them except the most recent log. MY logs are fulled with all kinds of junk (UFW blocks, openvpn packet errors, tons of other junk as well).

I simply don't see a point in storing all that shit and it's probably just destroying my SSD.

if you're talking about the small color text, no, this is a result of using subsampled color (yuv420). i believe only vp9 supports yuv444, which avoids color subsampling

I'm new to GNU/Linux and I've been toying around with the way permissions work.

I'm curious as to the point of the chmod set up, why is there an option for world? What the point of leaving them only to read/execute, or read only. Why is it frowned upon to not leave full access for the world along with user and group? Is it ever okay?

security in general is all about "minimum access", that is, ideally you want things to be configured such that users and programs can only access things they should be able to access, nothing more

Anyone know why releasing keys has a delay on Ubuntu? 'Slow keys' isn't on.

When I press a key it stays on for a time after I've released it. For example if I use caps lock to type the first letter of a word, it'll still be on for long enough to caps the second letter (e.g. EXample). Also means that if I'm gaymen and I press alt to do something, then tab to check keyboard, it'll alt tab and minimize the game. Really fucking annoying.

I'm using a PS2 keyboard if it matters, and I don't have this problem on Windows.

np, the reason color subsampling is a thing stems from a combination of the softness of most video sources, and the fact that human vision is much less sensitive to color resolution than luminosity resolution
so most video is stored with chroma (colour) at a quarter the resolution of luma (luminosity)

your artificial video source contains maximum frequency color information (color text which is only 1 pixel wide in either dimention), so this gets blurred/blended with surrounding pixels, which are dark, so the colours appear to be dulled

what do people think of solus os?

It's basically Elementary OS without many packages (and only three package maintainers lmao)

Budgie DE is a horrible hack on top of Gnome shit and eopkg is a mediocre package manager. But atleast they've got a customized Steam runtime... "yay"!
