Is there a way for have aliases in dmenu? Creating an external shell script for every little shit doesn't seem to be the right way.

Was this picture made with free software?

Holy fuck, I need help. Has anyone here used the package "imwheel"?

i am installing gentoo on livecd but i have to go to bed now, is there a way to save the point i am at in the installation? or will i have to shut down and restart tomorrow?

What should I use for automatically mounting external hard drives?

Im using nemo but its not arranging stuff in the way i want it to. I have a lot of japanese folders so its grouping stuff that starts with "チ" with stuff that starts with ch instead of seperating them. Its annoying mainly because japanese and english are ordered differently, so チ wouldnt be near the top. How do i make it so it seperates languages properly?

>>60703406
everything should save, youll have to chroot into it tomorrow

So on every reboot I have to run `swapon /dev/sda2`

What was the file where I put that in so it'll mount it automatically upon boot? Not the command itself, but there was a stab file that had these in it?

>>60704013
/etc/fstab

>>60704063
Oh right, does it have to be something like this?

/dev/sda2 / swap defaults 1 1

Or does swap have different values?

>>60704085
mine looks like this

/dev/sda3        none        swap        sw            0 0

>>60704085
Wait nevermind, it's this

/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

But I'm not sure if the first one should be none or swap like

/dev/sda2 none swap defaults 0 0

Which one is better?

>>60704129
Thanks.

Why do Debian alter software so much? Do they think they know better than upstream?

The only thing stopping me migrating to Debian from Fedora is that Fedora packages are basically all from source and Debian are all altered and covered in Debian branding

I have a windows iso and I wrote it with dd but when i try to boot from it the computer doesn't recognize it and tells me it's not bootable.

any help?

>>60704755
dd doesn't work for Windows anymore. Try winusb, I've used it a couple of times and it worked fine.

>>60704789

I am trying to get linux to work on my computer. i went through all the ubuntu distros except lubuntu. i like the XFCE desktop. but the problem is that i have a 1080p 15 inch laptop. and the XFCE does not scale well. i increased the dpi but it messes up other things too. what is the best DE for 1080p 15 inch screen that is also lightweight enough and customizable like XFCE. i did not like KDE and it actually crashed on me a few times. but i think KDE has the best high dpi support.

The install guide is REALLY good. You can literally follow it step by step anon and it'll work. I promise you.

That being said, arch-anywhere gives you a pretty basic installer and lets you pick some programs to install from the get go and walks you through some stuff but I do suggest trying to do it on your own

>>60706432
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.

I'm trying to get i3 working well on Arch before I set it to run on startup.

I'm opening it in tty with "xinit i3", but every time I do, it seems to be opening up i3-sensible-terminal with i3 running in it, and I can't close it without crashing i3.

Does this go away if I set i3 to run on startup? My current goal is to just have i3 running a single termite terminal when I open it.

Ancient softwares and garbage configs?

>>60706961
Memes aside point of view:

I'm not against systemd, I'm against the idea that programs should depend on a specific init system, which results in a situation where it's difficult to change the init system when you to. There are people who unironically meme about systemd, Poettering, etc, but systemd itself actually isn't the problem. The problem is the community acceptance of systemd as something every program can freely hard depend to. This is why systemd like Devuan must exist. I wish'd people would meme less about systemd being a problem, stop spreading misinformation about it being botnet and instead tell people about the actual problem. All these "systemd takes over GNU/Linux, sorry Systemd/Linux" memes fundamentally miss the point of the problem.

What's the difference between intalling xubuntu and lubuntu and linux mint if I can just install the desktop environment I want..? Should I just use Ubuntu and change the desktop environment since it's the most "stable"?

>>60708662
When OS is on different physical HDD, the booting would be done by the BIOS/UEFI
Neither of the OSs can interfere with the other booting.

>>60708662
Tbh I had no problems with dualbooting, but you should be wary when uninstalling Linux, because MBR is gonna get pretty fucked up. After uninstalling always remember to do a fixmbr from a Windows recovery disk (idk if it works through CMD).

what the fuck. I did not know this. Great, now I can finally remove the screenshooter

I can't ssh/ping/telnet my VPS at all right now. I can access it via my VPS provider's control panel however and it doesn't look like anything has changed since I accessed it last night (ports unchanged, no access, sshd running, nginx running etc.).

Where do I start debugging this?

Stop using Arch.

how up2date are devuan packages?

>>60709394
>no argument
stop posting

>>60709425
Devuan packages are the same as debian packages.
The only thing they change is pull packages that depend on systemd and modify them to not depend of systemd. It's crucial to ensure that the security patches introduced to stable by debian security team is delivered to devuan users as soon as possible.

/g/uys is StartMail legit for paranoid pree software user?
Or its just honeypot like duckduckgo?

I just set up pulseaudio streaming, so I can stream sound from my desktop to my mpd server which is directly connected to some speakers.

Now I have the following issue:
Whenever I stream the audio from e.g. a video on youtube or a video on my pc, the video stops playing, but the audio keeps going.
What could be the cause for this, and/or how can I fix this?

So I am mounting all my drives (that aren't / of course) in /run/media/user. But for whatever reason, only one of my drives properly mounts at the start. Any folder I make in /run/media/user is deleted on reboot.

And even though my External_Disk mounts properly, openRC bitches that it couldn't mount. Nothing different from that disk versus the other one I'm trying mountain except file system. Does boot order need to be different?

Any ideas?

Arch mounts everything automatically in /run/media. They moved /media there a while back and I honestly don't know why.

I've been running arch for 9 years and this has never been true.You mount things where you want them too. /run is not where you want to be mounting them.Create /media or use /mnt or create a new folder thats named relevant to what you're doing, but dont use /run

>>60709988
Paste fstab

>>60710082
>I've been running arch for 9 years
Cool

Not even worth the (You)'s

>>60710082
Weird how that works then because I remember even reading about an issue people had where their /media directory was moved to /run/media on an update of something. I'll just move it to /media then.

Cheers anon

>>60710049
No idea about what arch does, but in traditional unix /run, /var/run, /usr/run, anything called run is a ramdisk. Meaning all contents vanish after a reboot, including your directory, thus you lose the mount target.

This is obviously advantageous for automounts, so that autocreated directories don't linger, but explicit mounts simply shouldn't be in /run (ephemeral), or /media (which is deemed for automount use only).

what are the advantages of using openRC over sysvinit?

>>60710425
I couldn't tell you. I've never really used sysvinit in any great detail. (When I started with Linux, I didn't even know what it was until systemD came around.) After being stuck with systemD for so long though I'm really enjoying openRC, boot times are also faster

>>60710627
Gno.

>>60710594
I think you're actually right. I think it's just running sort of as an expanded front-end to sysvinit since "OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the system-provided init program, normally /sbin/init. Currently, it does not have an init program of its own."

Arch, Pulseaudio. Chromium and mpv both have the problem.
Just tried vlc, that video keeps running but the audio has alot of noise.
A program like cmus perfectly streams the audio while functioning.

Can't find an error in the mpv log, pulseaudio log nor in the chromium dev console.

Anything that says they only care about your privacy is a scam if they don't care one bit about your anonymity.

One way to figure this out is to open the page's source (ctrl+U) and check if they use google analytics/syndication or similar.

At least check the following:
>webmail without JS
>no third-party scripts
>allows or works well with tor vpn and proxies
>have onion/i2p address

Always remember:
Anonymity is always better than privacy

No evil dataminer gives a shit about information that cannot be 'linked' to a person (or group).

Privacy doesn't matter anymore. There's NSA submarines everywhere that wiretap undersea fiber lines and most ISPs have splitters.

>>60713130
Which GTK theme are you using? I have Xfce running on Nix now and everything is fine

>>60713250
Your thunar is generating thumbnails?

I don't think the theme should matter, but I'm just using a custom one I guess. I don't have any themes specified in my configuration.nix file if that's what you're asking. Just a theme from my ~/.themes folder and selected using lxappearance

Would you mind posting your configuration.nix file to a pastebin? Or if you don't want to at least just the relevant parts that mention xfce, thunar, tumbler, and dbus?

>>60713130
>>60713250
>>60713291
Oh sorry, I didn't mean "icons" I meant "thumbnails". Thunar is using icons, and it also uses thumbnails if they exist (created by gimp or something)
but I just can't get it to generate new thumbnails. I do have tumbler installed by the way.
