Wizards assemble !

Advanced users of GNU/Linux (and I mean advanced), remember to try Source Mage GNU/Linux. True source-based distribution, and (in contrast with Gentoo and Arch) is:
Free from obfuscated and pre-configured code.
Fully committed to GPL, uses only free software (as in freedom) in their main package.
With even the documentation licensed as FDL.
Without 3rd party patches, sensible defaults or masked packages.
Doesn't need obfuscated python libraries, only bash.
Uses clean dependencies as they came from upstream developers, which by the same provides instant updates.
Can heal broken installs.
Can also use flags.

Do you like Arch Linux's AUR? Do you like Gentoo's portgage (or ports-like) package manager? With SMGL's "sorcery" you get all that. Making new spells (packages) not found in the grimoire (repository) is easy http://sourcemage.org/Spell/Book

Bash hackers welcome! Come and join http://sourcemage.org/

i'm between installing void and devuan.

>>60829192
nope

>>60829195
Devuan is half of Debian folks. I'm pretty sure it will stay for a while.

>>60829195
Crunchbang became Bunsen Labs

Hackers youll be freeeeeeeee
join us now and share the free software
you be freeehackers ull ebe freeeEeeeEeEEee

>>60829195
who the hell knows?
one thing for sure, it uses debian as base and the only work they do is on a handful of packages that in debian depend on systemd, the rest is untouched. So despite their small team they have a chance to pull it off.
If youre between void and devuan and "sudden dissapearance" is your concern I'd bet on void being the first one off the dick.

Besides, one distro disspears, other one takes it place. Crunchbag became BunsenLabs.

>>60828834
>spells

>>60829195
It got from nowhere to stable and is a base of multiple new distros. I think you can trust it. And since it's basically debian, if it somehow dies you can just switch back to debian.

Do you know if SMGL ships a blobless, free linux? I downloaded the linux spell and tried to untangle it to find out where it downloaded source from, but I failed. I did find kernel.org referenced and no mention of linux-libre. Does it at least run some deblobbing script, or is it just plain vanilla linux?

Whats the easiest to use and learn tiling window manager? Like what if I wanted a toling window manager that random normie friends could sit at and use without learning key combinations. Basically switch active windows and resize windows with the mouse

>>60829790
I know it sources directly (kernel.org?), so my guess they use a vanilla kernel, but maybe you can ask a dev if they host a spell for linux-libre in their grimoire

Don't be a cuck. Install Void. You want a rolling release, and unlike (((Arch))) Void can do that while still being stable.

>>60830414
Someones mad they got told to RTFM in the arch linux irc.

>>60830326
Wait I think I remember what happened. I shut off windows while it was booting. That probably gave me the bootloader error.

>people who actually use nsa/fedora

>>60830421

I used Arch for years. Switched to Void. It just werks. I has all the perks of Arch, plus doesn't crash, no systemd and for normies, it even has an installer.

>>60830503

Arch is as stable as the user makes it.

>>60830565
TinyWM is a stacking windows manager, unless you were talking about the tiling wm.

no, i just really want to be able to resize windows with the mouse, maybe move them around, certainly change active windows. not asking for much more than that

>>60831382
No, even the original developer left Gentoo to make a better distro.

Can anyone think of any potential reason that keyboard input might not function in text-boxes inside of a game, while keyboard input works just fine to actually move the player around in the game?
Also copy-pasting text from other applications into the text boxes still works too.

>>60829395
The main problem with this retard is that he can't figure out what some stuff on linux are supposed to do, think he knows better than everyone else so in the end you end up with an init system managing everything including sudo, network, login and everything that shouldn't be on an init process. This fucking init system use QR code.

> i think the actual problem is systemds wide acceptance as standard
Having standards is a good thing. Wayland for example does the job it is asked to, and people want it to be a thing. Most distributions will adopt it and will accept it.

>>60828834
I got to say that after reading a little bit about it, I find it sad it doesn't bring much attraction by the mass and that the development is this slow.
The package manager seems really interesting. I should take the time to install and try it on a spare computer I got.

>>60831438
I don't want to be forced to use wayland and don't want that programs depend on it, which again forces me to use wayland. I want a flexible system.

>>60831438
Standards are gay.

systemd can have as many flaws it wants and poettering can be stupid or a dick, nobody cares as long as WE have the choice to use systemd or not
the fact that all major distros adopted it, pretty much removes that choice, and worse; programmers start accepting systemd as standard too and programs with systemd dependencies appear, the nails for the systemd/gnu/linux coffin

>>60832699
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.

It took me forever to find it, but xbindkeys was the program I was looking for.

so today while i was off at work my parents texted me saying they had a bunch of problems with the internet. so i tried to access my rutorrent online but couldn't connect and then i tried to ssh in and also could not connect. im dont really know if rtorrent was causing the problems and ive left it alone plenty of times before without any trouble, but im still a little worried that it may be a bit to aggressive so i want to do something about it. also it seems like a pretty good idea anyways

right now I allow connection through a tor hs only for both the ssh server and rutorrent because of the nat-punching abilities and because i already have tor connected 99% of the time anyway, so i figure some kind of shut-off could be based on that

tl;dr: how hard would it be to write a script that tells rtorrent to pause all traffic if tor doesn't say that it is connected, and then start seeding and stuff again once the connection is fine? i have no real programming experience

NO IM NOT TORRENTING OVER TOR AND THIS IS NOT A QUESTION ABOUT TORRENTING OVER TOR ONLY SSH TRAFFIC AND THE WEB UI IS GOING OVER TOR

How do I bypass my vpn to post on 4chan?

I tried via the routing tables by doing

sudo route -nv add 104.16.119.221 10.169.195.62

should I be routing it to the router address?

>>60834689

I used to have it on my home server, but I took it off after the whole write hole thing.

>>60837473
No fragmentation.
A gentle, quiet, but thorough feeling of warmth and inner peace.
Better performance, probably.
Reduced source of potential problems or incompatibilities.

>>60837473
ntfs is not a unix filesystem and it doesn't support unix filesystem permissions.
ntfs uses a ntfs-3g driver which is passed through FUSE subsystem to work because it's not native.
ext4 defragmentates as it goes and as long as it has free space available it will not split data into chunks but try to allocate it from start to end continuously.

ntfs sucks, ext4 does not, simple as that.

Because you can? You can even do silly things like putting newlines inside filenames.
The only restriction is that you're not allowed '/' and the null character.

>>60837960
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 can't help noticing that it's trying to unpack openjdk-7-jdk over the same version of it, which is also the current in stable. It doesn't sound like you should need to upgrade that?

But what stands out like a sore thumb is that not fully installed or removed package. Get that sorted out before chasing any other ghost. I've personally always relied on aptitude for fixing package problems, I don't know if that's orthodox procedure.

>>60839721
I have done update and upgrade before trying. It's not fully installed or removed because i had to abort the precedent installation because it got stuck like always, anyway how should i sort that out?

>>60840250
So that partly-installed package is just openjdk-7-jdk itself? I see. My gut impulse is to remove the package and install it again, but I'm quite sure apt will try to fix that limbo package before doing any other operation, so that won't accomplish anything.

I recently had a situation where a partially-installed package couldn't be installed, and it prevented other operations, like removing said package, from running. Lacking sufficient dpkg-fu, I had to manually edit files to change the package's status.

I had to do this, though, because I stupidly tried to install a 4 GB package with only about 400 MB of free space. That is the reason why my package couldn't be installed, and I definitely recommend that you investigate the reason why yours can't and then fix that,rather than circumventing normal package manager operation.

For starters, have you tried using aptitude with one or more verbose flags, instead of apt? Or checking log files like /var/log/dpkg.log?

How can I transform
