I will destroy all the winkids with my brain, Linux makes you smarter.

Any sound wizards here?

I'm having an issue where any time I have sound playing from multiple sources/programs, output from the first program stops.

Ex: mpd/ncmpcpp playing some music, I'll open up a browser tab for YouTube and start watching something. The YT video won't start until I stop ncmpcpp and restart the browser. Or, in reverse, I can start watching a YT video but then I get no sound from mpd/ncmpcpp.

It's like this with other programs that use sound too. Been Googling this shit for an hour, can't figure it out.

So I'm setting up NextCloud, and what I'd like to do is have the data directory be my Samba share. I've edited fstab so that it mounts it at startup to /mnt/data, but where I'm getting stuck is I need it to be writable by www-data, and I can't change ownership or permissions of the mount-point.

Wat do?

>>59022402
Have you set to write in fstab? Maybe try to add yourself to the www-data group and make everything editable by the group. I don't want to say use UID but definitely check it if you see more problems.

>>59022402
Depending on the filesystem, you have to mount it like 'mount -o group=www-data'

>>59022564
How does that work with the username and password for the share, though? Right now it says:

//ip-of-server/files /mnt/data cifs user=owner,password=hunter2,user 0 0

Where do I put www-data in there?

>>59022600
Try

//ip-of-server/files /mnt/data cifs user=owner,password=hunter2,user,gid=www-data 0 0

'man mount.cifs' for more mount options.

yeah, in the same way they can do that with any other component of the kernel. The latter would be convenient because it wouldn't ruin their own work (a security agency is usually involved in both espionage and "counter-espionage").

Hello /guys!
I'm currently rewriting my bash script to dash/POSIX syntax.
I was using $MACHTYPE variable, and I am intrested only in last part of it (-gnu)
In dash there is no $MACHTYPE, so where I can get this data? I need to know which standard C library is actually used by system.

Hypothetically if someone was zeroing out their hard drive with a usb and dban thought there was a partition on the harddrive and selected sda/sdb partition but it turned out the sdb is the usb port did it just nuke the flash stick with a bunch of passes and fuck the life span on the stick?

It was 7 passes

Why would it take 6 hours to make 7 writes over 7.20gb but it completed 48gb on the hard drive. It's a SATA drive but the flash ram should work in the same principal for writing? I don't under why the stick would be so much slower. Does it have to do with the USB port connection?

I'm trying to set up a dualboot with Linux and Windows 7 (activated via a loader), but it's just not working.

Windows + loader = Windows boots and is activated.
Windows + Linux = Windows boots but is unactivated.
Windows + loader + Linux = Linux boots and works normally, Windows has an entry in Grub but it won't boot and tells me I need to use the installation media to repair the installation.

What on Earth could be causing this? Does anyone have any ideas?

Additional info: I have used this Windows installation media + loader probably a dozen times or more before now to set up a dualboot with Linux and it has always worked without issue. I have tried several different distros and they all break Windows when activated via the loader. Using the loader before or after installing Linux makes no difference. I am doing absolutely nothing differently this time compared to the previous times.

This is probably a retarded question, but I've got to ask.
My laptop has an SSD (for the OS) and a HDD, and the HDD spins up every time I open the lid.
Can I stop it from doing that?

>>59024068
You can try to enable the "power-on in standby" feature:

 hdparm -s 1 /dev/sdX

I'm not sure it's either produced in france or brazil.

It typically writes and reads very quickly.

Unless the processor is just being taxed from trying to write both at once while assigning random #'s(which really shouldn't be that difficult for it) I can't really think of a reason why it'd be so slow going unless it had something to do with the physical connection.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

My computer isn't great. Games would run like total shit on a VM.

Actually, I tried to install Windows 7 on a VM in the past and it simply wouldn't work for whatever reason. The installer just kept sticking at a certain point and would never go any further no matter how long I left it.

Anyway, does nobody have any idea what could be causing this? Do you think installing Windows on a seperate hard drive to Linux would work? I don't have a spare hard drive so it would mean deleting a lot of stuff if I wanted to try it, hence I don't really want to do it without being fairly confident that it would actually work.

If you want to remove a package which is part of a meta-package, you need to mark it as manually installed.
aptitude unmarkauto ufw
apt-mark manual ufw
also issuing apt-get install ufw will mark the package as manually installed.

>>59027536
What apt is doing here is informing the user about the fact that ufw is part of mates meta-package. It does so, because apt was configured that way by Canonical. You can just change apts configuration and it acts in the same way like your package manager.

>>59027633

What's the choice for creating a multi-distribution live image from a Linux distribution? Something like Yumi, but for Linux.

>>59029478
GNU/Linux*

Just discovered this: http://linuxbrew.sh/

> Can install software to a home directory and so does not require sudo
> Install software not packaged by the native distribution
> Install up-to-date versions of software when the native distribution is old

Thoughts?

>>59029478
Seconding that.
I've looked around and all I found was thing that assumed you know enough to create it yourself.
>>59029640
How does it work with distro that doesn't have root users?

I'm installing Gentoo for fun. Does using genkernel still make me a true /g/entooman? I tried manually selecting modules but that didn't go over so well.

>>59029640

If you have to install software outside of your package manager, at least use serious solutions like Flatpack or Snaps.

>>59029661

I found a guide to do it manually, but it's specific for every distribution (the final step).
Right now I found something called MultiBootUSB and it seems to work.

>>59029640
But why?
i just do'make' and copy the binary to ~/.bin

>>59029688
yes

>>59024038

What are you using to activate Windows? I would verify the integrity of your Windows installation medium (ISO) and the loader.

>>59031958
>What are you using to activate Windows? I would verify the integrity of your Windows installation medium (ISO) and the loader.
The daz loader you mentioned. And there shouldn't be any problems with it or the ISO. Like I say, I've used them before and they both work. They both still work perfectly fine together, up until the point I install Linux, then the loader mysteriously breaks.

>Can't you ask on the Windows support forums why it's not working?
They're not going to help a pirate get their activation crack working.

dvdrtools is a fork of cdrtools born from some random drama IIRC, simply use the one that works better for you or is better supported and documented.

Also make sure your term identifies itself as 256-color capable or it will invariably look like shit.

Make your music directory and files read only.

it's not that they are bad, you just lose an extra safety that prevents you from recursively deleting directories.

The -v flag would also be useful.

You only need a program like like that if you're on windows or something and trying to make a boot usb.

Happens when you accidently a binary to stdout (and hold ^C in order to stop the spam).

How's Antergos? Been trying Xubuntu and I like it, but since I'm a masochist I wanna progress to something funkier.

Can someone ecplain why this works

wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase waifai password)

I know that

wpa_passphrase waifai password

prints this text to stdout

network={
    ssid="waifai"
    #psk="password"
    psk="some long string that 4chan thinks is spam"
}

What I don't get the " <( ... ) " part.
I know it's some kind of redirection, but I don't know how it works or how to google it.
When I try to use " <(echo anything)", "/dev/fd/63" always appears.
When I try

echo <(cat file)

the output is

/dev/fd/63

>>59035301

How so? I'm relatively new to linux and I wanna mess around with different distributions and see how each one feels.

>>59035932

What's the "feel" you're thinking about?

>>59035941
Probably DE and package management, since these are the only distinguishing features of distros (other than perhaps community).

>>59035941
Workflow, different package managers, control over how the distro is installed. I dunno. Like I said, I'm pretty new to Linux as a whole. I want to use the terminal more, and I had some issues getting a different DE up and running with XUbuntu. Heard Antergos is basically Arch with a neat installer and some safeties so it doesn't break, so I thought it'd be interesting to experiment with.

>>59035456
wpa_passphrase output goes directly into the command instead of needing to create a new file and instruct wpa_supplicant to read that file (it would be e.g. -cwpastring.txt). thanks for that find btw, I didnt know that could be done.

>>59036036
>Workflow
How do you expect workflow of Xubuntu to be different from Antergos with Xfce?

>I want to use the terminal more, and I had some issues getting a different DE up and running with XUbunt
So you have troubles with running apt-get on a Ubuntu installation but installing Arch with an installer and copy-pasting commands to the terminal will somehow turn you into a unix wizard?

> Heard Antergos is basically Arch with a neat installer and some safeties so it doesn't break, so I thought it'd be interesting to experiment with.
Antergos is Arch. It breaks. Period.
