Looking for a cheap wireless NIC for a desktop. I can use either PCI or x1 PCIe, any recommendations? Should I just find anything that uses ath9k?

is manjaro good

>>59800987
Why not try it?

>>59800987
Try it. I'd rather use arch at that point.

>>59801161
nice meme

>>59800987
Just use Arch imo

>>59801184
What's meme about it? Manjaro is a meme.

>>59801144
>>59801161
i have tried it and the user experience is definitely better than stock arch but i don't like the arbitrary holding back of packages

what is systemd and why is it bad?

So, I've been tinkering with the Bink (.bik) file format under my Debian Jessie KDE system, and I'm having a hard time troubleshooting why one Bink file will play, while other won't.
Preliminary: the file that plays doesn't have sound. I've mixed in sound with RAD, and the sound won't play while the video still will. For other files which have both video and sound, the sound plays but the video does not render (resulting in a black screen during playback).
I've used RAD to check the file info, and nothing I see in that report tells me of any significant differences between the files. They all use the same color space, color depth, etc. File size, data rate, and audio encoding do not seem to have any impact, as many of the files I'm attempting to play have differing values and these all play without issue; it's just video. I don't think resolution has an impact on whether or not these files will play either, as I've Binked the files to the resolution of the file that does play without effect.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to use hexdump to see if it can render more useful information about the individual containers. For instance, I'm wondering if (as per this link: https://multimedia.cx/bink-format.txt) analyzing the dump will let me know if one container is a Binked .H264 or an .AVI, etc..
If anyone can offer insight, or an outright solution, I thank'lls ye.

>>59801269
They don't hold back packages and there are no security issue. It's a stupid meme.

>>59801269
Arch pushes updates directly into the system, things may break and/or require manual interaction. Manjaro fixes shit before it pushes the updates (takes 2-3 weeks). They don't do this for the whole repo, just vital system stuff, other stuff goes through directly aswell as security updates. That's about what Archfags feel as "useless delaying", since they manually read news and fix things.

>>59800987

Use arch, Manjaro hold your hand too much and as soon as something breaks you have no idea how your system works and will be nagging us for help.

>>59801618
its the other way around, manjaro just werks so it's basically stupid arch fags who nag with stupid questions about zsh: command not found screenfetch

>>59801618
Arch is a meme.

>>59801631

Yeah, because alot of people on here use them so they get to post in the screenfetch threads and refuse to read the wiki to fix there problems.

So I'm trying to learn about setting up preferences for packages but I don't know if I'm using the right method. For example I'm trying to setup redshift as told in his page. I need to create the .conf file with the instruction for the package behavior then somehow say that ubuntu needs to autostart redshift every session?

Can I just open the terminal, type my preferences and save this somehow so every time I start the computer redshift will be running? I'm my case I just want to set temperature to 3500 K all the time. No need to play with geolocation.

>In other words, the "big news" of Ubuntu dropping Unity and its phone to focus on the enterprise is only the tip of the iceberg. Going forward, it appears, Canonical will be more tightly focused on profitability, which in addition to job cuts, will mean eliminating projects that aren't being monetized. This means the desktop edition is probably destined to eventually be dropped, especially since users will have the numerous independently developed (and officially sanctioned) "baby *buntus" as options.

You mean add the program to startup applications? What distro and desktop enviroment are you using?

>>59801855

If you are using an Xsession client

vim ~/.xinitrc
add whatever the bash command is to launch redshit to the top line

$redshift
i'd guess

Been with void for a while, but the templates thing is getting out of control. What do I do? How easily does arch with ruinit breaks?

I'm using elementary os. I installed youtube-dl but it's out of date, I tried updating it but there's no updates available. How do update it then?

Hello /g/ i'm new to ubuntu/linux (inb4 install gentoo)

can i fix it somehow? i also disabled from bios my gpu (since i don't use this for gaming just for well, having a pc when i'm away from home)

Till now having fun with tweaking it, may switch to something else more advanced soon

>>59801918
If you install it from you're package manager, you only get updates through you're package manager.
If you want to get more frequent updates via

youtube-dl -U

go to the youtube-dl github page. Scroll down to the installation section. (Just a simple matter of wget or curl the script and chmod it executable.)

>>59801941
I don't know how to do that. Ins't there a .deb package I can install?

This is the reason why mediatek wireless driver is garbage.

>>59802055

You can remove the 7 second delay from /dev/sda6 by commenting out that line by

$sudo nano /etc/fstab

add a # at the beginning of the line that has the /dev/sda6 partition. This disables the swap, which unless you have less that 8gb of ram you will probably never use anyway.

The first one is just system d doing system d things, not sure about the last one

What exactly is responsible for the colors in my terminal?

I've only recently started looking into "ricing" my terminal color schemes, for easier readability and aesthetics.
I want to know if it's possible to change any text (ls output, for ex.) to any color I want in a 6 digit color code.

Top to bottom:
Mate-Terminal
Mate-Terminal (current)
xterm
rxvt-unicode

>>59802375

>>59802349

I don't understand your question.

>>59802375

Uxrvt uses a configuration file ~/.Xresources

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/rxvt-unicode#Configuration

>>59802375
$LS_COLORS, for ex.

>>59800460
So I downloaded debian, installed it, all good

But it needs firmware for my wifi to work.

I got the firmware, I got it on the machine, I got it on a USB stick, I type the commands this page tells me to and it just doesn't work.

How the crap do I install this? I'm willing to learn as I go but without internet it's kind of futile ya know?

>>59802399
I download a torrent in Ubuntu. It is a .torrent file. When I click on the file it just re-opens transmission. In other words, the program is not installing??? Btw, I do understand exes don't exist in Linux so far I have liked the hand holding Ubuntu has offered when it comes to installing new shit.

All these lignux people talk about how something is "light" or "heavy" or even "bloated" but why does almost no one tell what it exactly means?

Sometimes you have RAM usage comparisons, but not much more than that.

Annoying, I'd like to use Gnome 3 on my laptop but it isn't that powerful, so I am afraid it might be too heavy. But at the same time, lignux people may sometimes call text editors heavy...

tl;dr I have i3 Core i3- 2367M 1.40Ghz, 4 GB RAM, Intel graphics. Would Gnome 3 be too much for me? Will it lag? Or does "heavy" in lignux terminology mean "it's still as light or lighter than Windows"

>>59802459
What is it you are torrenting?

Transmission will download the file and save it in it's default location ~/Downloads

open a terminal and change directory into ~/Downloads

now press 'ls -l' to list the files

is what you tried downloading there? what is its extension/file type?

>>59802484

I had a 2.4Ghz celeron with 4gb on an old laptop and installed Gnome for my dad, and it lagged horribly. Try unity or Xfce.

>>59802484
These terms are usually in reference to 'Unix Philosophy', which dictates that each program should do one thing, and do that thing well.

That's why very simple and small programs are generally favored over larger, more feature rich programs. For example, it's common for people to install mpd, ncmpcpp, and some scrobbling program just to setup their music player instead of downloading a complete player already.

The idea behind this is that it gives the user more control over what's on the system. If I want to accomplish a certain task, then I shouldn't need to download a program that can do 50 other things I have no use for.
So really it depends how much this 'unix philosophy' appeals to you. If you don't really care about it, then go ahead and install whatever you want.

>>59802484
XFCE or MATE is the best option for you.
GNOME might lag by itself and definitely will if you use a web browser.

>>59802484
XFCE and LXDE are the lightest desktop environments, but LXDE looks like shit so most people go with xfce instead.

Of course, you could always just ditch desktop environments and install a window manager like openbox. That requires much more setup and initial configuration, but it will perform better than any DE.

>>59802193
Do I have to unistall the version I already have installed?

>>59802410
I might start using urxvt more.
Am I limited to this 256 color palette because of urxvt, bash, or it's just the way it is?
A few colors in a color scheme I was looking at aren't present in the 256 color cheat sheet I just looked up.
>>59802424
ls_colors is exactly what I was looking with ls output, thank you.
I'll have to look into it and see if I can change colors based on filetypes.

>>59802557
>>59802530
I'll try out XFCE I guess. I previously used lxde actually, but it indeed looked like shit. Trying out gnome currently, it is indeed a lil laggy at some points, especially if I quickly switch between things or open new ones.

I'll also try out some wm setup at some point, my only gripe is that I'll need to find good + fitting applications like file managers then.

>>59801886
I'm using standard lubuntu. I have no .xinitrc file.

>>59802629
Well the GNOME file manager is called Nautilus.
The XFCE file manager is called Thunar.

You can run them in any setup.

>>59802629
gnome is probably the heaviest DE, so you should switch from that asap.

As for using a window manager, it really can seem like a lot of work at first, but it isn't that bad. If you choose to install something like openbox, there aren't any keybinds you need to memorize, and there are gui programs for almost all of the configuration settings.

Having to pick out your own file manager, as well as other programs, may seem like a pain at first but once you start you'll realize that you don't actually need everything a DE comes with. On my desktop at home I pretty much only have firefox, urxvt, and the nautilus file manager.

>>59802643

$nano ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart

redshit

save + exit and reboot

nb. if your desktop doesn't load on boot press ctrl + alt + f3 to launch a tty.

nano ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
remove that redshift line and reboot

Is there any significant reason someone shouldn't manage some packages by himself using self-contained directories in /opt?

Mark Shuttleworth on the death of Mir:

"We have lots of IoT projects using Mir as a compositor so that code continues to receive investment. I agree, it's a very fast, clean and powerful graphics composition engine, and smart people love it for that. The whole Mir hate-fest boggled my mind - it's free software that does something invisible really well. It became a political topic as irrational as climate change or gun control, where being on one side or the other was a sign of tribal allegiance. We have a problem in the community when people choose to hate free software instead of loving that someone cares enough to take their life's work and make it freely available. I came to be disgusted with the hate on Mir. Really, it changed my opinion of the free software community. I used to think that it was a privilege to serve people who also loved the idea of service, but now I think many members of the free software community are just deeply anti-social types who love to hate on whatever is mainstream. When Windows was mainstream they hated on it. Rationally, Windows does many things well and deserves respect for those. And when Canonical went mainstream, it became the focus of irrational hatred too. The very same muppets would write about how terrible it was that IOS/Android had no competition and then how terrible it was that Canonical was investing in (free software!) compositing and convergence. Fuck that shit."

Hi friendly GNU/Linux thread. I'm new to GNU/Linux for desktops, but have some server experience. I really like the functionality of i3, but am a bit scared to go the full Arch + i3 path. Whats a 'just werx' distro I could use that will easily take i3 as its WM?

>>59801618
>Use arch, Manjaro hold your hand too much and as soon as something breaks you have no idea how your system works and will be nagging us for help.
I've found the Manjaro wiki very helpful several times when the Arch wiki was lacking and vice versa.

>>59803717
I honestly kind of feel bad for shuttleworth. He's probably poured tens of millions of dollars into canonical to achieve his vision of desktop Linux for everyone. Canonical is obviously in debt and hemorrhaging money. That said, he has fucked up quite a few times. Ubuntu phone was a guaranteed failure from day one, and creating his own alternative to Wayland was just retarded.

>>59804032
Just use the Arch Anywhere installer and pick i3. Otherwise manjaro has a community version with i3 as default.

>>59804032

If you're new maybe xfce. I persoanally would just go bare i3 and arch and struggle setting it up, then reinstalling it all later.

I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 16.10. For the past few days, my system has refused to start an X11 session. OS boots as normal and brings me to the login screen, but after I enter my password, it simply returns me to the beginning of the login menu. I am still able to login on the other tty's and I can login to gnome on wayland, How can I get X11 to work again? Or should I just wait for Zesty and see if that fixes it?

I found a thread someplace where a user appeared to be having a similar problem, but the solution wasn't really explained, and unfortunately I can't seem to find the page right now.

Is rm -rf the same as rm -fr? Are those the same as rm -r -f?

I've used this a few times. Never had any issues and I ran Arch this way for over a year before I switched to Manjaro.

>manjaro has a community version with i3 as default.
I'm on Manjaro Xfce but I thought the i3 edition looked neat so I robbed the configs from it. It's pretty nice. It has a few annoying defaults, size of the bar, and disabling scrolling over the bar to change workspaces, that's dumb imo but they're easy to fix, though I am very familiar with /etc/i3status and ~/.config/i3/config so that helps. Never used gaps before, I have it off by default but it's really cool that you can meta + shift + g and adjust the gap on the fly. Anyways I think the the manjaro i3 configs are really nice. Even if I change distributions I will still use them as a starting point.

I have this USB port that provides power but no data connection. The power connection is reliable but I cannot confirm the connector isn't broken. I can't wiggle the usb plug to get the power to cut out or the data to cut in also, so it probably isn't broken.

I can however short V+ to GND easily because it is being used to power and flash a ROM on a board

This is the message that shows up when I tail -f the syslog in /var/log and then short the pins (Ubuntu 14.04)

It obviously fucks up part of my power supply and disconnects my keyboard and mouse, but it may contain info about what port I just shorted. I just don't know how to read this though.

>>59804032
>Whats a 'just werx' distro I could use that will easily take i3 as its WM?
i3 is the same on any distro, you get a barebones setup and fix it up to your liking by editing 2 simple text files. The main config at /.config/i3/config and the bar config at etc/i3status which are simple and easy to understand. The only distro I'm aware that has i3 preconfigured is Manjaro i3, the themeing is nice but I think it gives a bad impression of what i3 is for someone who has never used it, they changed the behavior of it a lot but you can revert all of the silly stuff just by editing .config/i3/config

Go for it. Ask questions here when you get there and maybe ask people for a list of recommended programs to use with it. I personally just use standard Xfce programs with it for the most part. I can't even tell the difference between pcmanfm and thunar.

can someone tell me why systemd is considered bad? is it a botnet? how can I remove systemd?

Hi guys. I'm having a curious thing on Tranmission. I'm using Transmission GUI on windows since I have my little board with the transmission-daemon. Everything works fine, and when I click a magnet, the GUI loads it. The issue came because when the GUI loads the torrent, instead on \\MyServer\Torrnents, it loads it from C:\Whatever\Temporal on windows.

What would be the issue? Maube I'm not allowing Transmission load the Torrent on my server because Samba?

You have a configuration file at
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf
that is causing Xorg to fail on load. Wayland doesn't use this file so thats why it works.

Can I see that config file and tell me what your distro is please.

>>59804704
systemd isn't a botnet, and definitely doesn't actively phone home to the NSA with your data like win 10 and macos. It's free and open source GPL software, so anyone can look at the source code. It's considered bad because it's bloated and overcomplicated. To remove it on arch and its derivatives like manjaro, you need to run "sudo pacman -Rdd systemd lib32-systemd libsystemd". Not sure how to remove it on other distros.

>>59804717
Oh okay, that explains what the problem is.

I've been having some screen tearing issues. On my laptop, which has an intel gpu, I was able to fix this by adding a line to the equivalent config file containing something along the lines of "option -tearfree". I tried to do the same thing with the amdgpu file, and obviously did it poorly. Totally forgot I did this, I'll go remove that line and find an actual fix. Sorry for wasting your time.

>>59804772

Whats your distro and gpu, I may be able to help you make it work.

>>59804729
>systemd is overcomplicated
Not really. If you choose to use the entire suite you will install 69 neatly seperated binaries. In fact systemd derives inspiration from UNIX. The design of systemd as a suite of integrated tools that each have their individual purposes but when used together are more than just the sum of the parts, that's pretty much at the core of UNIX philosophy.


>bad because it's bloated
Well, bloated certainly has many different definitions. But in most definitions, systemd is probably the opposite of bloat. Since systemd components share a common code base, they tend to share much more code for common code paths. Here's an example: in a traditional Linux setup, sysvinit, start-stop-daemon, inetd, cron, dbus, all implemented its own scheme to execute processes with various configuration options in a certain, hopefully clean environment. On systemd the code paths for all of this, for the configuration parsing, as well as the actual execution is shared. This means less code, less place for mistakes, less memory and cache pressure. systemd is also pretty modular. You can choose at build time which components you need, and which you don't need. People can hence specifically choose the level of "bloat" they want.

Thats correct. If you are on ubuntu you can use the proprietary amd drivers which definitely work with that card with tearfree.

I've got tearfree to work on an rx480 on arch xorg, the thing that was missing was

xf86-video-amdgpu
Try to install that on ubuntu and it will probably fix it for you, or just use the propriarty AMD driver which also works.

holy kek it werks... but I've a question, what is the value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH supposed to be in this case? to me it says it's invalid so it resets to 1970 every time (which isn't too bad because it's a constant after all) but on the documentations I read it is "the number of seconds (excluding leap seconds) since 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC" does that mean SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is equal to the current time? I don't really get it tbqh.
Anyways, thanks so much for suggesting that, I've been searching a solution all day.

How does WINE work exactly, since it's no virtualization software and supposedly not an emulator?

Let me explain: A family member has an old ass laptop that of course, runs better on the average linux distro. Problem is, she's addicted to these stupid games that run on toasters ( item finding and hamburger flipping simulators, stupid shit like that, generally facebook games except these are only available on Windows/Mac and not through browsers).

Now I figured "well, if WINE can pretty much run anything with DX9 under the sun, I don't see why there would be trouble with this shit". Except, I don't know exactly how WINE works, if it requires better specs, if maybe since it's a pretty crappy laptop it will just shit the bed. How do I make sure of this? The laptop has an Intel Core Duo T4300 and a geforce G105M.

Not him but my bar is similar and far from stock and my configs are really fleshed out. Not sure if you can just drop it in (I think it will probably work) but they are simple to understand and edit to suit your setup.

If you're not using i3-gaps instead of plain i3 it will definitely throw an error. I have gaps off by default in the config but you can hit meta shift g and adjust gaps on the fly.

I have a problem with my DPI or font sizes. My GPU is an Nvidia NVS 140m and I have installed the proprietary driver. searching this problem, nearly every result regardless of distro is to edit xorg.conf with the appropriate DPI settings. But that doesn't fix it. It doesn't matter what DE I use or not. Does anyone have any idea what the deal is?

I always seem to have this problem with proprietary Nvidia drivers on other laptops but usually setting the dpi in xorg.conf or xrandr fixes it. Actually I was using Ubuntu MATE before and it was fine, now I am using Arch and now it is not fine.

This is bullshit and you are free to use the unstable repos which are synced with Arch stable. Same fucking thing. Anyways this is their model.

Unstable repositories: These are used to store software packages that have known or suspected stability and/or compatibility issues. This software may therefore be subject to patching by the Manjaro developers prior to being released to the testing repositories.

Testing repositories: These are used to store patched software packages from the unstable repositories, as well other new software releases that are considered at least sufficiently stable. This software will be subject to further checks by developers and testers for potential bugs and/or stability issues, prior to being released to the stable repositories for public use.

Stable repositories: These are the default repositories used by Manjaro systems to provide updates and downloads to the general user base.

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.

Nope, no good. I am using MATE but I also have Xfce installed. I guess I can just go back to the nouveau driver, hmm.

>What's the benefit of a downstream distro?
If any distribution could benefit it's Arch

>The only interesting thing about manjaro is the openrc support, and like with arch it's a little bit of a mess.
They ship an ISO and their wiki is turning out to be pretty stellar. Don't get me wrong I like Arch and used it for a long time with no issues but taking a step back feels good.

>>59808172
I see. However, why wouldn't those bugs on Arch affect Manjaro too?

Can someone explain why the most insecure and broken distro, Linux Mint, is literally No.1 on distrowatch?

>>59808248
Most popular things are rarely the best. Also distrowatch is very biased for anything that spoonfeeds the user.

>>59808189

They do, he's an idiot who thinks using a distribution makes him smart and cool and who can't follow 10 steps to install Arch.
Just the fact that he thinks the 5 people "working" on Manjaro create patches themselves and fix software shows how out of teach he is with reality.

You seem to have a hard time grasping the FOSS community.

>>59808189
That's not Manjaros job. They aren't fixing bugs - they fix things that may break the system after a regular upgrade.

No, keep trying to kill yourself.

You mean the 5 "developers" will test thousands of packages together with the 10 people reporting bugs in a downstream distribution? Nice delusion, I suggest following my advice from above.

Actually Mate has switched to Gtk3 already. However, they don't support Wayland yet

>>59808365
That is why whenever something is announced on the front page the related distro gets a bump in ratings.

Does this solution (either picking a GPU in nvidia-settings or using prime-switch and then rebooting) still work on arch? www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/SLN298431/a-guide-to-nvidia-optimus-on-dell-pcs-with-an-ubuntu-operating-system?lang=EN

Trying a Debian installation for the first time, not first Linux just specifically with the distro. Just wanted to know

Is this shit even for real?https://wiki.debian.org/chroot
That you'll need all this trouble for a simple chroot on Debian, or is it just another ancient wiki article like so many I've been running into?

>>59808474

Did you even read the article, fag? It says right away that
>Building a "chroot" is very easy in Debian.
It's very easy, got it?

>>59808512
No, I finished the installation but grub is fucked up so it's not booting.
I tried reinstalling it or changing it to legacy since it's an old machine, using just the recovery mode on the installation USB but it doesn't work either.
So I was thinking on using a liveUSB then chrooting into the system so I'd have more options than just the recovery mode. But that fucking article suggests chrooting is more troublesome than the whole fucking installation proccess.

>>59806303
what i do to get just the contents of a target directory is this;

tar cf file.tar -C subdir .

>>59808562
What's the correlation between Arch users and diaperfur?

>>59808572
This article is about something different. Just boot from liveusb like you wanted, mount root, dev, sys and proc and chroot normally and do whatever

>>59808572
The article isn't about chrooting into your system, it's about creating a new system that's supposed to run in a chroot.

The only things you might have to do is mounting and chrooting.

Yeah, I'm an Archfag most of the time, so whatever I managed to solve was from using that. Problem is that Arch actually gives you error messages and writes to journal whenever shit goes wrong.
Now, this Debian installation crap just gives me 'error: exit code1' as to why it won't install grub. So it gives a tad difficult to find the problem...
