>>60211385
Am I the only one who thinks adding compression to the filesystem is a bad idea? I feel like it's not the filesystem's job to compress your data.

>>60211439
On gentoo where you have lots of small textfiles because of compiling everything it is very good.

Speed wise there's no real difference, lzo is pretty fast.

You don't use a tmpfs for /var/portage?

I don't like to redownload everything when I change a compile flag.

Posting this here again, because

When updating or installing via console I repeatedly get the messages:
sudo apt-get install numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme-circleE: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I recently had some problems with Windows as well with memory positions unable to be written. Someone suggested to run a memtest, but I can't get the damn thing to run properly. I reinstalled Ubuntu after those issues started appearing.
But I AM using two ~5 year old Memory sticks as well as two very new ones.
Should I just throw out my old ones and see iof that fixes it? or is my installation of Ubuntu fucked too due to the issue?

>>60211297
Using only free software and auditing code are seperate things. I can do one without doing the other. Not everyone is interested in how software works, and they don't need to be. They should, however, have the FREEDOMS that come with free software.
If the free software does everything the normie wants it to, why should he not use it? There is no reason for him to audit the code.

Hello friends,

I'm currently having some trouble trying to install GNUnet on Mint.

Already tried vanilla, GTK, QT and Java versions and none of those worked (either failed to compile over dependencies I have no idea where to find or looked for gnunet binaries that didn't exist).

Can someone kindly point a retard-proof way to get this shit up and running?

>>60210732

Two questions for you /g/:

1) Have any of you tried TLP?
http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-linux-advanced-power-management.html#configuration

It introduces PCI Power Management which was lacking from Linux until now.

2) Is there any reason to not use large block size, like 64k, for your file system? Considering how most files are a lot larger than 64k anyway ( music, pdfs, pictures, movies, ... ). It would give your hdd a boost in speed at the expense of a little wasted space.

>>60212248
Just get mupdf. It's what all these frontends use as backend. Profit is support of all kinds of formats inclusive epub.

>>60212281

I use TLP. Had a few problems with the SATA power savings which gave me a few warnings during boot. I don't know if I changed settings, but it has stopped happening recently and now it works fine.

>>60212284
this
mupdf is the like the mpv in %randomplayer% or like the ffmpeg in %randomconverter%

>>60212281
TLP is kind of an hit and miss when we're talking about noticeable differences. Anyway, be sure to set APM to 255, in order to disable it, unless you want your hdd in a bin, that is.

>>60212284
It doesn't seem to work with .azw3 ebooks

Okular's garbage. It's shit for editing and annotating PDFs.

>>60212330
>mupdf is the like the mpv in %randomplayer% or like the ffmpeg in %randomconverter%
who gives a shit about backend? I care about USABILITY you dumb autist.

>>60212281
It's not just about overall file size, but how close their size is to multiples of your block size. If you have 10k files that are each 65 KB, you'll have wasted 10,000 KB.

>>60212450
A hacker is someone who enjoys playful cleverness—not necessarily with computers. The programmers in the old MIT free software community of the 60s and 70s referred to themselves as hackers. Around 1980, journalists who discovered the hacker community mistakenly took the term to mean “security breaker.”

Please don't spread this mistake. People who break security are “crackers.”

Is there any actual advantages to using a rolling release system over older, more stable packages? I'm stuck between using Arch or Debian, and it seems like the biggest difference between the two. Are there any other differences?

>>60212470

Hint: Debian has a rolling release branch.

>>60212417
Why does arch linux have /usr/bin/ebook-convert bundled with package calibre and not ebook-tools.

I don't want to install all that bloat.

>>60212470
Newer packages can be cool when you:
- are a programmer and need up to date interpreters
- want the newest shit

If you like Debian, I'd recommend to stick to it and upgrade to testing or unstable. Testing is comfy; it's frozen unstable (but doesnt get security patches while being frozen, which is about 2-3 weeks), unstable is like Arch with all possibilities of breakage, but you have programs that can check if something may break before you upgrade, which makes unstable comfy too compared to arch, where you have to look for stuff and fix stuff manually.

>>60212470
install Manjaro

>>60212538
unstable should be recommended to aynone who doens't know what he'd doing tho

I'm a longtime arch user buying a new laptop. It's pretty annoying when shit breaks on me all the time. Are there any other differences between Debian and Arch? All that comes to mind is packages(pacman, AUR).

>arch is for advanced user only
Yet people install it, wew.
Stop treating people like toddlers.

>>60212639

>shit breaks
When was the last time "shit broke"? Most likely never and your long time user means "I used it for 2 weeks 5 minutes a day in a virtual machine while installing every package there is in the AUR".

>>60212639
try manjaro: delayed upgrades, can take ~1 month, makes sure upgrading doesnt break anything

>>60212330
How do I make it fit to width by default?

>>60212672

Just follow this thread, you don't even need to use Arch to get info on shit breaking once a week.
>muh fonts broke, what do

it goes like this every other day
why? because noobs install arch in order to be cool but dont follow the arch news like a sane person

>>60212672

I used Arch as my only OS for 2-3 of years on two machines. On one machine with a broadcom wifi module it would break on many kernel updates until someone could come up with a fix (which could take up to a few weeks), which is something that comes to mind straight away. When I finally repaired a hardware fault on my laptop(after 2-3 months) and ran pacman -Syu it didn't work due to some security error that I didn't even bother reading, I just installed windows (since I have a new machine on the way). Software bugs aren't uncommon on rolling release distros; which is the reason why servers and companies use more stable distros.

>>60212798
Following the rules of English, in the construction “Arch Linux” the word “Arch” modifies “Linux”.

This basically means “Arch's version of Linux”, but an Arch GNU/Linux system includes more than just a modified kernel.

>>60212322
>Had a few problems with the SATA power savings which gave me a few warnings during boot

What did the warning say?

>>60212377
>TLP is kind of an hit and miss when we're talking about noticeable differences

Well it's only noticeable if you compare to full load max performance. If you don't use cpu/gpu intensive software than you won't notice anything.

>>60212414
>If you have 10k files that are each 65 KB, you'll have wasted 10,000 KB.

10Mb for every 10k files doesn't sound bad. Of course if the files are 100kb each you waste 360 Mb for every 10k files.
I'll have to eyeball my file sizes and make a decision for my next file system.

>>60212761

Perhaps if you didn't use shitty solutions for fonts (Infinality) that would have never happened.

Can we all agree that Arch is a pretty cool distro if:
- you are mature enough not to spread the minimal/KISS meme
- keep nonfree crap off your lawn
- check your AUR packages before installing
- stay up2date on recent news

Should I use Solus or Ubuntu?

I still don't quite understand the release/update model of Ubuntu, could someone explain that to me? What is a rolling release?

hey boys I'm trying to do this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PXE

I can't figure out how to give proper rights of the mounted iso to dnsmasq!

PXE works on my client but tftp gets timeout if I copy the iso contents to a separate folder and work from that.

pls halp I have a mobo with an old bios that won't let me boot from usb

>>60217268
A rolling releas is when updates just roll in every day. Since this is mostly not very stable, most distros make dot releases where only save upgrades are available and you later have a larger upgrade when upgrading to the next dot release. That what ubuntu does.

>>60217544
>PXE works on my client but tftp gets timeout if I copy the iso contents to a separate folder and work from that

explain more clearly, why do you need to copy the iso files? What filesystem are you trying to copy them on? Are you the -a flag to preserve the permissions with cp?

>>60211946
Add the Ubuntu universe repo if it's not added already and install it from a .deb.

>>60215520
>>60215534

>>60217648
I mount arch iso with mount -o loop,ro on /mnt/iso
When I have in /etc/dnsmasq.conf this line:
tftp-root=/mnt/iso
dnsmasq gets error and exits.

I thought it would work if I just copy files to anywhere with like you say:
cp -a /mnt/iso /home/
And then
chown -R dnsmasq:dnsmasq /home/iso
Also changed in /etc/dnsmasq tftp-root=/home/iso
This gives me working PXE but tftp doesn't work.

I'm guessing this doesn't work because it has to be loop device. But I cannot give dnsmasq ownership of a read-only filesystem so it doesn't work either way.

Who is this chubby semen daemon?

>>60221545
I'm no trovonds linux but with the way permissions work I think you would have to be purposely allowing stuff access to your system.

>>60221605
The fact that you can plug in a keyboard on any distro and it just works means the USB devices controller and memory already has access to your system.

>>60221545
USB is generally fully trusted to act as a keyboard, storage, network card, etc. There is no easy fix -- having actual security would require pairing, codes, and permissions which would break compatibility with all devices on the market.

VR on Linux, yay or nay?

>>60221687
I really don't know enough to debate it but from what I understand you would already have installed a driver from a trusted source like your repo and that's what interfaces with the USB device you use. it's not like the firmware of the device is directly interacting with and editing root system files and if it tried to you would have to give it the root permission to do so. I could be wrong. it would be like connecting to another person phone via bluetooth and that suddenly meaning they have root access to your phone.

>>60221738
Not him but an emulated usb keyboard storage could ransomware your home directory, or an emulated network card could redirect to hard to detect phishing sites.

>>60221784
Really? Fuck. So if I only installed my drivers from a trusted source and gave the device no special root permissions how does it weasel its way in to do that?

>>60221811
The malicious device is indistinguishable from a legitimate keyboard or other device, as it sends the same >electrical signals on the bus. Therefore it could do anything you could do with a keyboard (excepting stuff it doesn't know like the root password), which is quite a lot. Basically your computer has no idea that it's not you doing these things.

Reading about it is making me feel sick to the stomach.
>>60221738
It appears that if the device identifies itself as a HID (human interface device, e.g. keyboard), it's granted trusted permissions. From there, the OS assumes input is user input, when in fact it could be emulated and malicious input. Read about "The Rubber Ducky"

You're a retard who thinks "ricing" is exclusive to some distributions.
Just kill yourself before you fall prey to more blatant and obvious idiocy without realizing how stupid you are.

>>60223652
That has nothing to do with what that anon said. You're confusing the software itself versus the system it resides in.

Non-free shit can be created and distributed in a truly free system, but that doesn't mean that the software itself stops being "non-free". That anon never said his machine was a truly free system. Just that it lacks non-free software.

What you probably had in mind is that the only way to guarantee nothing but free software is to create a non-free system, and that's true.

You either accept oppression for the sake of calling yourself a supporter of true freedom, or you become an oppressor to create a non-free system that only contains free things.

and honestly when you look at it that way it makes the former look like the idealist faggots rather than the later. RMS has the right idea, if you want freedom you gotta fight for it by making viral licenses and shit.

>>60223884

Fedora is a distribution, it has no title bars.
Windows can have title bars. Titlebars are usually rendered by the window manager, but sometimes some programs do client-side-decorations, for example GNOME programs.
To change titlebars edit your window manager settings, choosing a smaller theme. Changing client-side-decorations is difficult, almost impossible. For GNOME headerbar programs, edit the theme file to decrease the padding.

Is it possible to run a Microsoft OS with VM on a Linux OS to play video games? Would I encounter any problem with drivers or anyting like that?

>>60225769
It is possible but you are giving resources to the VM, and then you cannot use it at the same time on the host.
In order to use high performance graphics you need to give the entire GPU to the VM using something called pass through. You loose about 5% and you need 2 graphics cards and 2 monitors, but if you want to play games, that shouldn't be a problem.

>you cannot use it at the same time
That's a minor problem at best, so I'm not concerned with it.
>need 2 graphics cards and 2 monitors
So it's impossible to run with the same monitor and graphics cards I use to operate Linux OS? Shit, that'd be expensive.

>>60224964
why would you use that instead of

escrotum -s

>>60227228
why would you use that instead of import

>>60227254
why would you use that instead of a picture

>>60227254
can you select an area with import like you can with escrotum?

>>60227272
thats what import does, invoked without no options

import scrot.png

>>60227285
didn't know that thanks anon

>>60227272
actually

import +repage scrot.png

is better

>>60210732
Does compiling a software that is not supported in your distro from source make it work on the distro you are using? If yes why is that? And also does it also apply to cygwin?

>>60227293
import -window root for desktop
import -screen for window

>>60227314
Yes, because all distros use the same GNU/Linux core system.

>>60227254

Because import can't select the currently active window on its own. You can pass it an ID, but that requires the use of another program.

>>60227352
import -quality 100 -window "$(xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | awk '{ print $5 }')" -frame +repage "scrot_$(date +%s%3N).png"

>>60227384

Doesn't work without xprop installed.

>>60227394
xprop is part of X tho

more thread: >>60227415

>>60227342
Than why they don't work from the ground up if core system is same ?
I am actually have a program in eye which is only supported on arch

How is the kerenel not a bloated piece of shit by now? I was giving gentoo a shot the other day (I failed) and some of the options for support included stuff like the playstation 2 trance controller. why the fuck does that have kernel level support?

Because import is buggy sometimes and you end up having the frame in your picture

>>60227864
Because it's the most efficient way to catch the interrupts and have every application support it.

I use my DS3 controller all the time to play emulator games.

can a friendly meme lover tell me how the h*ck I am supposed to use this, whatever it is?
