I ran into a weird problem.

I'm on arch. I'm using AMDGPU. Using KDE (no bully)
I launched a game through steam with the "stream" option so it ran off a windows PC. First time trying this. After playing a bit and closing it out, it seemed like my DE was all.. stuck.
Like I couldn't minimize windows. I couldn't alt-tab. I could right click on windows, but clicking "close" did nothing. But I could close them with their close button for most of them.
I ended up having to reboot the machine to "fix" it.

Scares the shit out of me to have a problem like that.
When I tried again, the same thing didn't happen, which just makes me feel even more uncomfy.

I'm trying to setup a systemd unit file to increase the sensitivity of the trackpoint on my chinkpad at startup, which is dog slow by default. tpspeed.sh works when I execute it directly as a root but I keep getting permission errors when I try to use the service I made and do

Hello /fglt/! I want to permanently switch to Linux for programming purposes, I don't really game at all anymore. I was thinking about going to Kubuntu or Fedora. However the ONLY thing that is holding me back is that my motherboard is a bit fucked. I have an i7 6700k and despite the temperature never going above 35C my motherboard thinks BDPROCHOT is going and throttles my system. I have to run a program on Windows called Throttlestop to not have my processor downclock itself to 500MHz.

What can I do? Does something like this exist on Linux? I saw an UbuntuForum post where the programmer for Throttlestop posted the registers involved that he messes around with, but I don't feel comfortable enough with C to write a program to do what he did.


Am I forever destined to be on Windows?

This is the error message.

I assume it's ext4.
You have no write permissions for the drive. Change the owner/group (what I'd do) or give everyone write permissions (I wouldn't do this).

>>60250208
ffmpeg expects a final argument which is the title of the output file ("done/$file"). Maybe try moving the threads option in front of the output file name. Looks like your subtitle filter is also getting confused.

>>60250302
I tried playing around with the "'s around subtitle and the $file but it proved fruitless.Removing threads count completely resulted in the same error

Are XFCE and LXDE the last sane DEs?

>>60250328
Run this in the same directory:

for f in *.mkv; do echo "$f"; done

Looks like there's simply no files ending in .mkv in that dir, so file is empty, so the subtitles filter doesn't know what to do.

>>60250354
I prefer just openbox, tint2, thunar

>>60250328
Also don't use sh in the shebang, use the shell you're using.

>>60250435
(alternatively:

ls -la *.mkv

)

>>60250435
>>60250453
There is indeed a mkv in the folder.I have a test "1.mkv" file in the folder it is being run from.
Changing it to /bin/bash still provides the same error message

>>60250539
Repost your script, I will fix it.

>>60250539
Oh the bash thing was a general tip so you don't wonder why your scripts suddenly stop working if you symlink /bin/sh to a different shell.
Sorry, I am too tired to look through documentation for you. Have you tried searching any of the errors online?

-vf "subtitles=$file"

What do you want to do exactly?

>>60250647
The files i have are soft coded subtitles, my media player dosent detect the subtitiles,and im stuck with just this one media player as an option.The subtitles are embedded in the file,i know the command line works because if i do that command line without variables and do it manually,it works.The subtitles are pointing the filter to the file for the embedded subtitles and it then hard encodes it,so that the subtitles appear as part of the video its self without the media client having to look for embedded subs

>>60250677
Show me a manual working command line. and we will see where is the error in the script

>>60250622
>Xfce
It's GNU/Xfce

>>60250677
Wait wait wait, so you have a file containing video data (ending in .mkv), and you have a file containing the subtitles, and you want both the audiovisual data from the mkv file AND the subtitles hardcoded to be within one single mkv file.
What is the input file for the subtitles? Is it an srt file? Is it the same mkv file that also contains the audio-visual data?

So your script work. Case closed. Stop trolling anon. The f of friendly does not apply to trolls.

>>60250760
What the fuck, so you have an mkv file with a+v+s, and you want an mkv file as output that has a+v+s, all from the first mkv file.
Here, I'll improve your script:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p done
cp *.mkv done/
echo "I'm a huge faggot please rape my face"
sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda

>>60250802
Im not trolling.It does not work when using the script.

>>60250808
My media client on my periphgiual does not recognize embedded subs.So i need to hard sub them.The subtitles option is referencing the 1.mkv for subs and then is hard encoding them.This has been working fine for years,but out of the blue it no long workos with the subtitle error i posted before

>>60250810
I'm sorry for you. Two possibility:
1) you're trolling
2) you're doomed , ffmpeg does not like you
I just try your script with a mkv with subtitles and it works.
Or you have a invisible characters in your script. Try to ensure it's a pure ascii file.

>>60250831
I see now.
For your answer, see >>60250876

>>60250831
If you're not trolling try that script

#!/bin/sh

set -e

mkdir -p "done"
for file in *.mkv
do
    ffmpeg -i "$file" -c copy -c:s srt "done/$file"
done

Explicit is better than implicit, unless you're writing Python. Always make it clear WHICH shell you're using unless you KNOW your script is shell-independent.

>>60251470
the shebang you fucking retard, not the binary

what is the best shell and why?

How hard is it to write a free wifi driver and why are people adding blobs instead of working on free replacements?

>>60251626
Undocumented hardware, hack to reverser engineering.

>>60251588
Bash, it's the standard. No one with a job cares about shell

>>60251501
That's the point. /bin/sh is just a symlink to whatever shell you like. /bin/bash is an actual binary. If your shebang says "interpret this program using the shell /bin/sh" then the system uses the shell that /bin/sh links to and uses that. You don't know what shell the user might have /bin/sh pointing to, and it might not be compatible with the shell that you used to test your program, unless you took care to conform to POSIX standards and you know the user's shell understands these.
Little example.

$ cd /tmp
$ echo '#!/bin/sh
-- echo "This is my shell script."' > tmpfile
$ cat tmpfile
#!/bin/sh
echo "This is my shell script."
$ chmod u+x tmpfile
$ ./tmpfile # assuming that /bin/sh points to a "sensible" shell like /bin/bash
This is my shell script."
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mai  7 00:53 /bin/sh -> dash
$ sudo ln -sf /bin/cat /bin/sh
$ ./tmpfile # /bin/sh is now cat, so the entire file gets catted.
#!/bin/sh
echo "This is my shell script."

>>60251716
I agreed until I read
>with a job
kill yourself

>>60251724
shell binarys behave differently when called as "sh"
even when you only have bash installed, invoking a script a sh speeds it up, sine bash enters posix sh mode

>>60251774

what thinkpad?
distro?
do you have accelerated graphics or a framebuffer device?
do you have any plugins?
do you have a conventional harddrive or a ssd,because I am pretty sure icecat caches to the disk similar to firefox and you can get a large performance boost
by moving it to a tmpfs.

>>60252602
Well that's my question, what's a lightweight browser?

I know my computer is a POS but heck, I installed Minecraft for shits and giggles and it actually runs full speed. I've compiled a bunch of stuff, I can use something as heavy as Eclipse or LibeOffice just fine, and I basically never have any problems in my day-to-day usage. I'd have expected to be able to load a web page properly.

It's not the JS executing or anything like that either, because like I said I can run browser games just fine.

how can I check mouse polling rate on ubongo

Void on an X220.
Forgive me for being a dumb nigger but I have no idea - the thinkpad has integrated Intel graphics, does that count as hardware acceleration?
I'm using an SSD. I've also used Firefox on hard drives before, on relatively high-performance desktop PCs, and never experienced this difficult page load slowdown.

I've used linux for almost a decade but this is my first computer with UEFI and not bios.
I installed arch and grub, rebooted and arch and windows were listed and it worked fine. Once I booted into windows 10 and then rebooted instead of booting into grub, it just went straight to windows.
When I go into my efi to try and change the boot device the drive with arch is no longer listed.
I thought that I probably just messed something up so I tried again with ubuntu but the same exact thing happened.
I want to attempt the install again tonight. how do I avoid/fix this?

>>60252721
Midori is lightweight, if you can prevent it from crashing long enough to use it
have you tried using Firefox to see if the issue remains? If you are using IceCat I understand it is likely for freedom reasons but you could try FF to see if the issue persists

>>60252781
Load your profile in tmpfs

>>60252781
Oh forgot to add, just using https everywhere, ublock, and I think spyblock and that's it.

>>60252800
Alright, I'll try out Firefox tomorrow or something and report back

>>60252781
>>60252800
yes Intel graphics are accelerated (and quite polished in linux desu)
I just figured that if you were using Icecat you were trying to avoid firmware blobs/binaries
I am also using a x220 and using Firefox but I don't experience slow downs like you are having
Icecat does use libreJS, but I don't know how optimized it is compared to the alternatives and JS is the biggest thing I could think of that would be
causing huge slow downs

Hi /fglt/. I have a few sites that I'd like to mirror quickly without getting banned, and I happen to have two different internet connections where I work, one I can access through ethernet and the other one through Wifi. I wonder if it is possible to configure both of them on my laptop so that I can run a wget instance on each one. I know it's possible to bond interfaces to use them all at the same time, but as far as I can tell there's no way to control what goes where.

>>60252589
I don't know if this is still the case, but a long time ago I installed IceCat on an old laptop and it was noticeable slower than Iceweasel on Debian. Try installing Firefox from your distro repos and see if it's different.

>grsec now closed source
Where were you when security relied on the public not having the source code?

>>60252880
Show me a single case where having grsec prevented an exploit from happening

>>60252798
use rEFInd or a similar efi boot manager would be the easiest solution

>>60252878
you could use --wait X to slow down wget and/or throttle the download speed
also you might want to spoof the user agent to firefox or something

>>60252844
I disabled librejs because things were just too unusable.

>>60252878
Alright, maybe I'll just use Firefox then. I'll try it out in the morning and see if it improves things.

Is there a relatively lightweight out-of-the-box distro that updates automatically and just werks? (It's for my mom.) I've had bad experiences with both Mint and Ubuntu.

There you go you fucking cunt. Try it on shitnux, patch the kernel and enable grsec, try it again.
Then uninstall grsec because it's buggy and uninstall Linux while you're at it because it's fucking shit.

>>60253077
Manjaro (Arch) or Bunsenlabs (Debian)

>>60252775
Do you have all packages up to date? You will probably want to reformat the hard drive/flash drive. What filesystem is it using?

Is Bunsenlabs the same as the old CrunchBang? I loved that distro.

>>60253320
Yep, same community, but half of them switched to vanilla Debian after #! died. Theres also Crunchbang++, but it seems it's dead.

This is how you can tell a /g/ poster is either a meme spouting moron or a shit programmer. Name a language that's equally portable. The point of Java isn't performance (it isn't that bad though) and you obviously shouldn't write something low level in it, but it's a perfectly good language.

>>60253527
Portable meaning you have to install an entire runtime environment just to run programs written in it. Plus it's a shit language besides that, C++ does everything better and doesn't force you to use objects.

>>60253666
>have to install runtime
That's kind of the point, it removes the inconvenience for the developers and instead passes it on to the users (translation: providing a shitty user experience out of laziness). That said, most of the applications of Java are for enterprise™ software. Can you name a non JVM language that you can write once, and run on windows, osx, linux and solaris?

Any language, you just have to cross-compile.

I wish everything was written in C. Every other language sucks, C++ included. Object oriented programming was a mistake.

>>60257406
Is public domain considered GPL-compatible free software? Is it copyleft?

>>60257440
yes
no

>>60257440
Copyleft is when the license has an viral effect which makes a fork of a copylefted program also a copyleft program. Public domain doesn't have such rules/protections. Public domain also has the problem that its definition changes from country to country, so its always a good idea to use a public domain licence like CC0. Public domain is GPL compatible. Rule over the thumb: Everything that "doesn't restrict further" is GPL compatible.

It's an init system made by professional Red Hat developers.

>>60262254
All you need to know about systemd is that ironically systemd wouldn't be able to exist today if we had been using systemd's design philosophy on GNU/Linux from the beginning.

In other words, we'd be stuck with outdated technology and only able to replace it if we create another monolithic init system that interacted with everything in exactly the same way systemd does.

Systemd is basically exploiting the flexibility of its predecessors to kill the flexibility we have in the area of init systems. People might like it now, but we're walking into a walled garden.
After systemd becomes the standard and everything depends on it systemd will never receive any competition because it would be an extremely monumental task to try and create a systemd alternative.

All the newbies here support systemd because it "just werks". But using things just because it works is a very Windows mentality.
They're forgetting (because init systems isn't really on their radar in the first place) that the reasons we all use GNU/Linux in the first place is for flexibility, being able to do things _our_ way not the way someone getting paid to do their job decided we should do it, and design philosophies.
Systemd is the exact opposite of all of that.
