I need to disable i3lock on lid close, but for the life of me I can't find out how. every path google puts me down shows nowhere that i3lock is called. it's only mentioned once in the i3 config, which I've changed to no effect.
All the help I'm finding has the opposite problem of not knowing how to activate i3lock on lid close, so presumably I did one of them at some point several browsers ago.

It's all the same, people just have trouble to get it.
Just use whatever you want.

Unfortunaly it isnt.
EVERY source based distro is a old mans hobby distro.By the time you're done updating your system you have an entirely new set of packags you need to compile.Gentoo is just a game to see if you can compile 100% of the time,you even stop using your os and just watch the compile

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.

To those who spread the misinformation about wannacry on GNU/Linux. Are you proud of yourself? Do you think this fearmongering belongs into a friendly thread? Why did you link to that stupid youtuber who can't differentiate between a system and a kernel?

Compared to Windows, GNU/Linux is a lot more secure in virtually every distribution.

I have an old 2013 Macbook Air that I would really prefer to have a linux machine. After having to do a blind install of a driver for the monitor without the use of the monitor, the problems I'm having are still... many:

>The trackpad registers every touch as a click
>2-finger touches register as a zoom-in command on some programs
>3 finger touches do not register at all
>The audio only works when I have headphones plugged in and then it plays out of the speakers
>Every time I close the the screen it goes to sleep but then won't wake up when I open it.
>If I ever get it to turn back on my jiggling a USB mouse the keyboard won't work anymore.
>When the battery is fully charged it says 75%
>It dies when it gets down to 65%
>The wifi only works when the battery just about full
>The screen brightness buttons both just toggle the screen on and off
>The keyboard backlight up button turns the speaker volume up
>The keyboard backlight down button also turns the speaker volume up
>The volume down button also turns the speaker volume up
>Plugging in the charger causes it to freeze for a solid minute or more
>Unplugging it cause it to go to sleep which as stated above causes the keyboard to stop responding
>...and the light on the capslock key is always on

And this is just about the best experience I've gotten. I've tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, very briefly tried Arch but couldn't get past the blind monitor install, I even tried Kali because they said they "support as many wireless devices as we possibly can." I've followed as many different tutorials for installing linux on my specific version of Macbook but most of them don't even get me halfway.

Is there just a linux distro that is pre-packaged to support mac hardware. I don't want to go back to MacOS but this is some bullshit.
>>
>>60451792
nano /etc/modules.conf
>>
>>60451865
>>60451865
Will the system rewrite data on it once I reboot?
>>
>>60451924
No, it will create an empty modules.conf file
>>
>>60451966
So I'm basically stuck with a broken install now?
>>
>>60452009
Yes. Let this serve as a lesson.
>>
>>60451326
>>60451406
Okay, I'm sick of the question game. What I wanted to point out is that wanna cry uses windows specific backdoors to spread. It needs permission to touch files in reach and it will try to encrypt your files as if it were on a windows machine.

Wanna cry can only "harm" a system that uses WINE locally. Even then, you'd probably have to run it with sudo or as root. WINE doesn't want you to do that and if you were to ignore this, you'd be more stupid than bread.

And NO, it doesn't simply require WINE to be installed. You need to run a binary with WINE. You do not have these backdoors in your system that are used to attack your machine regardless of user interaction. Pretending that having WINE installed somehow makes you vulnerable is fearmongering not befitting a friendly GNU/Linux thread.

>>60451802
Tell the installer to include a ssh server so you can log from other machine. Don't you have a spare old monitor? You can make a custom installation image with what ever you need. Look for a tutorial on the internet.

All of those problems are mis configurations.

The battery thing. Its normal, it happens as they get old. MacOS also read those percentages but showed you in the 0 - 100% range. It looks better but you won't know the battery real health. You usually can configure the battery applet to show in the 0 - 100 range.

I'm planning to replace my laptop optical drive with an SSD for multi-boot.
---------
is it possible to install a "shared bin" on Linux?

Like, if I want to install a couple different Linux versions, can I make a partition that can be accessed from each version?

How would I do that? Would I need to adjust the fstab and aliases? Can it be done without fucking with fstab?
---------
like
let's say I do ada1p0 as boot, ada1p1 as Ubuntu, p2 as Gentoo, and then I make something like, maybe p3 or whatever as shared_bin?

What would be required to get, say, all my dev software: Code::Blocks, a LAMP, GCC/G++, etc. to all run from that single partition?
maybe even install all my DEs on that partition as well
---------
This is how I do it in Windows, at least, and I like to keep obsessively organized.
I have a partition explicitly for programs, program installers, and program zips
I'd kinda like to keep the same setup
would I just set that up /usr/bin on all systems?

Yes but it's an horrible idea. Different distros will have different versions of things.

Doing it with whole programs is easier but still not a great idea. You will use /opt/ and /usr/local, not bin.

You should let the package manager take care of everything.

Well, I do different types of projects, including Web, and I do NOT want to have to keep multiple copies of the SAME website, programs, and same LAMPs on different distros.
That'd be a living hell to adjust.

So, what do you mean "with whole programs"?
/opt/ and /usr/local, though. Aight, What would I generally put in each?

>You should let the package manager take care of everything.
This would be particularly awful for Web Dev tasks, where I need a constantly-updated version of the sites.

If it is a bad idea, is there software I could use to sync them across the versions regularly? Or just make a script that runs on startup and shutdown?

Hmmm.
I kinda meant, though, is it possible to have the entire LAMP run from a separate partition. I didn't want multiple copies of Code::Blocks, my LAMP, and GCC/G++, or even my DEs. I wanted like 1 Lumina and 1 Gnome to run on ALL distros, but it seems that'd not be likely to work? =-/

In that case, lemme ask: Would it make sense to make a small Web-Dev partition and under each distro, mount it in whatever the localhost directory is? Since PHP, HTML, CSS, and JS fields should pretty much be universal?

Only problem with that is: It would not necessarily keep the data between my SQL databases. Unless... would it make sense to make an SQL partition, as well, and save the data files there, while mounting that partition in each distro's SQL data directory?

If this would work, what would I do? Make a script on each that mounts them on like startup or summa?
