Reposting from the last thread that got nothing but stallman bot post responses.

I have a problem. It stretches from Linux to Android and ONLY on these 2 platforms. My file server is based on Windows 7. (I know i know, but remote desktop is great). I'm sharing 2 file shares over the network to 2 Windows based clients, a Chromebook, 2 Android devices, and 2 Ubuntu 16.04 machines.

After an undetermined amount of time of the server being up, all the Linux and Android machines will no longer be able to see the server in their network tabs of their respective file managers. Nor am I able to connect to the server manually using the local IP of my file server and proper credentials. The Ubuntu desktops gives a "connection timed out" error, while the Android devices give an "unknown error has occured" (using solid explorer app with FTP module). While this is happening, all other devices on my network are still able to connect and interact with the server with zero issues.

All of this is fixable by simply rebooting the server. This doesn't take long at all as it's OS is installed on an SSD. But this is a really stupid problem to be having. What on earth could be causing this? Pic related is me now connected to my server from my tablet after a reboot. Can provide server specs if it would help.

I need to make an email account for normie things, what service will most likly respect my freedoms?

So yesterday I did a reinstall 'cause my install was all kinds of fucked up, but in particular, my /var/log/ kept filling up. I didn't bother researching much as I was going to do a reinstall anyway.

On my new, fresh install, I looked at /var/log/ again and there are a few files that look kinda big again:
6,9G syslog
3,5G kern.log

is this, in fact, normal in the first day, or should I investigate further? I haven't used this install for much at all yet, if that is relevant.

Okay. It seems like it has something to do with iwl3945, and that it can't find the firmware for my wlan card (which I'm not planning to install as I use a better one, so I'll have to see how I can prevent my system from caring about the existence of the intel wlan). It keeps whining about this all the time, odd behavior.

is this https://apricityos.com/ just arch that looks good out of the box, or does it have different repos/update times?

Is there a faster way than

adb push

and

adb pull

I don't understand why dependency conflicts are such a big deal.

Now "flatpak" is a thing which attempts to solve it with lots of redundant libraries.

Why can't you just have something similar to flatpak but instead of bundling redundant libraries why can't it just bundle symlinks to the libraries?
This way each application has its own exact versions of every library specified and won't even depend on the major version symlinks we have on our systems already, so there would be no dependency conflicts for having multiple versions of the same library right? But at the same time you avoid having too many redundant libraries like flatpak does

Trump has a travel ban, not an immigration ban. It affects some Muslim countries.
Trump's change to the H1-B visas is to force employees to pay equal wages to imported and local workforce, removing the cheap labor attraction.
The media is trying to confuse people into thinking that Trump literally banned immigration on racist grounds. He didn't.

Fedora.
You'll get proper documentation for your system and most of the things you'll learn will work on most other Linux. It's also properly managed bleeding edge.
Ubuntu has to deal with debian inherited bullshit, incompatibilities between packages from debian and Ubuntu repositories, some packages have been removed recently without proper reason, the Amazon integration (that is now optional), outdated vga drivers and so on. I've personally never seen an Ubuntu install that worked properly ootb.

Personally, I'm using arch and considering jumping to nixOS.

>is there anyway to setup pi-hole to only block specific 4chan boards?
I don't know much about PiHole, but I know that in general you can't block specific 4chan boards without also blocking https.
Also I believe that PiHole works by being your dns server. Therefore: No, it can't block specific parts of websites, as long as they are hosted on the same server as the parts you don't want to block.

>Also I believe that PiHole works by being your dns server. Therefore: No, it can't block specific parts of websites, as long as they are hosted on the same server as the parts you don't want to block.

What is the difference between using
$nmcli connection up [essid]
and using the "turn on wifi" button in my GNOME wm?
Because the button works, but on the command line I get: 'Error: Connection activation failed.'

>>59305570

The button in GNOME might be for the actual network interface, not your connection. Nmcli is for connecting to specific connections.

Is there a way to have different versions of certain packages at the same time?

>>59305639
Ok I don't really understand what you are trying to say... because the turn on wifi button in GNOME automatically connects me to the wifi aswell.
But when I do
$ifconfig wlan0 up
&nmcli con up [essid]
it doesn't work.

Additional info: nmcli works for pre-shared key WPA but with enterprise WPA (aka the one you need a username and a personal password for) I got the problem mentioned above.

How do I know whether or not to use UEFI or BIOS? How do I choose between MBR and GPT? I get I need to use GPT for certain volume sizes or amounts of partitions or something like that, but is there any reason to use MBR?

I'm sure I fucked up my install because of this. All I know is that when I start in UEFI mode, the livecd won't even boot up, but when I start in legacy (BIOS?) mode and I partition the disks, esp (EFI system partition) automatically comes up when I add the "boot" flag, even though I'm definitely not in UEFI mode.

There's more to it, but in essence debian is old, outdated but rock solid stable, also avoids most popular software which isn't fully free to their standards and uses generally shittier alternatives. If you try to circumvent these problems, it becomes garbage, unstable and messy.

Manjaro is up to date and has all the software you could want, but its way of simplifying the Arch process tends to crap out sometimes, behave oddly, and generally isn't really up to the very high standards of stability more mainsteam distros offer.

>>59306516
Just use Ubuntu if you're new. If you want a different de try kde neon or xubuntu.

Hi /fglt/

I'm looking to pick up a super cheap secondhand laptop so I can do some mobile haxxording and other stuff, either with Ubuntu (preferred) or maybe Debian. What's the minimum spec I should be looking at especially in terms of CPU? Ubuntu says 700MHz but 700MHz on what? Sandy Bridge? Haslel? Netburst?

I'm planning to do an SSD upgrade anyway to remove that bottleneck and make it boot really fast as well.

Is ufw with standard rules enough?

>>59307325
Is more about the must have rules I should have or good recommenddations or habits on it. I followed the arch linux standard firewall tutorial but I would like to learn it better.

Hi I'm trying to build a package using pacaur but it fails. Error message is '_build_dir: command not found' I can't find anything on the internet. Any help?

>>59306516
check how well your hardware is compatible w/ GNU/Linux

use h-node to check whether you'll be able to make an usable install without non-free parts

if everything you have works well w/ 100% free stuff, try Debian, so at least the start will be comfy rather than fucking around with parts that aren't part of the Debian system. when I was newer than now, I really hated it if my fresh install wasn't very much usable right away.

if your hardware isn't well supported in the free world, maybe you don't want Debian.

I love Ubuntu + Unity but every time I come to this place I feel guilty. Suggestions?

Default is to deny incoming (except for some stuff, I think, check manually). Then just add things you need. At home I allow all local traffic.
Also, if it's a laptop that you carry around much, consider using firewalld instead. It supports firewall zones which you can associate with certain networks (with NetworkManager).

Will 2018 FINALLY be the year of the Linux desktop?
Most of the common DEs will not use X, Unity should be stable on Mir, Gnome already is using Wayland by default, KDE is getting there etc.
Snaps or Flatpack will make it easier and more user friendly to get software. Wine has progressed a lot and is improving at a rapid pace.
The Vulkan API, in the games that have it, makes a big difference and brings performance almost on par with Direct X, and while market share isn't growing at least Valve aren't giving up on Linux either.
The open source and closed source GPU drivers have been improving steadily, Kernel 4.11 should bring a lot of power management improvements etc.
We're seeing more and more programs get a Linux version, and the FOSS programs in areas that were lacking like video editing are now starting to become usable for home users.

It always feels like we're on the verge of reaching critical mass, where the common user friendly distros will finally be good enough to at least catch up to OS X percentages of market share.
It's like we're only missing a good final push to get the ball really rolling, something like Adobe finally making CC available on GNU/Linux, or at the very least Microsoft pissing off Windows users some more.

Are either Snap or Flatpak capable of being the one and only package manager on a system capable of maintaining all of its packages? I mean not right now, I'm sure a lot of work would need to be done. I'm just wondering if their design fundamentally prevents them from serving that purpose.

They both seem like they require to be installed on top of a system that already has another package-manager which maintains the majority of the system and Snaps/Flatpaks would just be for larger applications.

>>59310493
It is a bit Broadcom's fault, a bit Debian's. Broadcom hasn't opensourced the driver so Debian won't include it. Ubuntu doesn't have a problem with letting you install proprietary drivers so you can install it from the proprietary driver utility. It still won't be install by default, but it takes 2 minutes.

>tfw kill -9 closes gimp faster than pressing quit

I think it's possible to use gimp from the command line, how can I use it to mark a few pixels with a different colour?

>>59316786
Please learn about kill signals. You should NEVER use -9 (unless a process is actually a dead and buried zombie process), since -9 actually *kills* the program, which means, it doesn't save states, frees memory or anything.

>>59316750
lol kill yourself

>>59316794
What is the goal you want to archive by marking a few pixels?

>>59315942
security
also managing a fbsd server is much easier
pf and jails are really nice

I have a script that downloads satellite images from a website every 5 minutes. I want to use gimp to mark my city in every image so I can know exactly where it is.

Look into imagemagick. It's much better for scripting. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/

Can you still not get the proprietary r9 280x drivers in ubuntu 14.04

>>59316929
Thanks!

>>59316964

I tried to select them through the additional drivers dialog but it's broken

So i tried to do it through an apt-get but got this

$ sudo apt-get install fglrx

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unity-control-center : 
Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be 
Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

I'm trying to use the official AMD drivers because they are what you need to use an r9 280x with CodeXL, an AMD OpenCL/OpenGL IDE with a lot of features
