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/

That should be enough. Anyway run "groups", if it's in the output you're good.

Everytime I unplug my external drive it shows this.

Basically the problem revolves around linux write cache. If I disable writecache with sdparm/hdparm this error wouldn't show up.
Linux defaults "write cache:on" for external drives. Some drives without write cache won't show this error.

What am I missing here?

How to install something to root of a usb stick if it doesn't auto-mount?

If I plug it in, and mount /dev/sdb1 (drive is called /dev/sdb and has a "partition (?) /dev/sdb1 as I can see after plugging in, using lsblk) to /mnt and then install files to /dev/sdb1, will those files be in the root-directory?

(Usually drives will automount and show up along task-bar, and in file-manager, but this one doesn't)

Error would still appear even if I have'nt mounted the drive.
I'm tired of doing sdparm --set WCE=0 /dev/sdx and IIRC it's quite dangerous if I ran the command while the drive is mounted.
>>
>>60860213
No, it wouldnt because nothing would be writing to it because you unmounted that partition.Meaning there would be no write cache because it has already been flushed when you unmounted
>>
>>60860212
Or just use chroot and bind mounts like a sane person.

Like I said the error is still there unless I turn WCE off. Turning WCE off while the drive is mounted can kill the drive.

>>60860008
sync before unplugging. Basically "safely remove" drive
>>
>>60860008
Maybe your drive reports wrong things to the kernel. It happened to me once.
Try setting the cache to write through:
echo 'temporary write through' | sudo tee /sys/class/block/sdb/device/scsi_disk/<bunch of numbers - just press tab>/cache_type

I think it can be automated through udev rules but I never got around to do it and I don't have the offending drive anymore either.

Okay /g/,

I'm an sysadmin that's currently still stuck on botnetOS 10, I know the basics of Linux but whenever I'm using Linux I keep distrohopping. I'm mostly just virtualising test labs writing essays and using RDP/VNC what distro do you guys advise me? (VM support is very important!)

Also, what kind of programs should I use for virtualising and writing essays on Linux?

Please show me the ways of gnu/linux.

Probably OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Fedora.
They both have recent packages (Tumbleweed is rolling) which means you get the most recent KVM improvements first.
I used both as my daily driver (also a sysadmin) and I never had any problem with them.
Fedora is slightly more stable but OpenSUSE has great integration with BTRFS snapshots so you can always boot from a stable one if update fucks up.

Broadcom is absolutely the worst choice you can make when it comes to wlan cards.

Your best bet is Qualcomm Atheros made chips.

their drivers are neither free (like atheros) nor work properly (like intel and atheros)

Matthias Klumpp has announced the release of Tanglu 4.0 which carries the code name "Dasyatis". The Debian-based distribution was in development for longer than expected which Klumpp addresses in the release announcement: "Tanglu 4 comes - due to being frozen for far too long - without the latest and greatest packages, but still with some notable changes. The KDE Plasma version is at 5.8, while the GNOME desktop is available in version 3.20 with some pieces from GNOME 3.22. The KDE Plasma design was updated with some suggestions from KDE designers at Akademy last year. Tanglu is a fully usrmerged system by default now, with no option to switch back to split-/usr or opt-in option (like in previous releases). Additionally, we support installing on UEFI systems without legacy mode now, which was a much requested feature and took quite a while to make it work reliably with the Calamares installer. We do not, however, support secure boot on EFI systems yet." Tanglu 4.0 is available in three editions: Core, KDE and GNOME. Download (SHA256, pkglist)): tanglu-dasyatis-kde-live-amd64.hybrid.iso (1,356MB), tanglu-dasyatis-gnome-live-amd64.hybrid.iso (1,289MB), tanglu-dasyatis-core-live-amd64.hybrid.iso (462MB).

- Using a debian based distro, resulting in an easy to install distro but a pain in the ass as soon as I'm looking to install something exotic or proprietary.
- Using an arch based distro, resulting in a bit more painful to setup distro but with the convenience of the arch user repository.

So what do ? Is there a good Arch, easy to set up, distro out there ?

>>60863937
check what locales you have available first:
locale -a | grep JP
>>
>>60863947
Yes, mir is dead. They decided to promote already existing free software rather than fragment things.
>>
>>60863904
Manjaro apparently is an easy to install Arch ("installer" is how some people call it). In the case you want something like debian use Devuan instead so you have fewer problems
>>
>>60863961
then fuck Ubuntu, I jumped that ship in time
>>
>>60863969
Yes for Arch I heard about Manjaro and Antergos and I'm trying to decide between both.

I'm pulling a total brain-fart right now.

I just re-installed Solus after floating a few distros on my laptop and for some reason it will only install Ruby 2.2.4, updated and upgraded all packages and it still only pulls 2.2.4.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I followed a youtube video but right at the end it says

This is ridiculous. Canonical's NIH syndrome is the primary reason that so many people dislike them. How people can actually like and support their pointless fragmentation is beyond me. That said, now that they are ending that stint I will give Ubuntu a fair chance on the first GNOME release.

Anyone running KDE? Which distro did you end up using? I'm looking for stability but also up to date software.
>>
>>60864817
They are source based.

But you have to understand that due to the way their package managers work they claim that any builds that result in the same hashes are literally identical binaries bit for bit.
Therefore they also let you download the binaries, but you only download them if their server has one with the exact same hash you need. If the hash isn't available then it compiles it from source.

So in the end (if their claim is true) then it's basically a completely source based distro.

Sometimes I try to install an AUR package through pacaur and end up running out of disk space before it finishes.

The obvious solution to me was to symlink a folder on a bigger partition to that package's folder in
~/.cache/pacaur
, so that it downloads and builds it on a bigger partition.
But pacaur doesn't like that, picrelated.

Any other ideas on how to solve this problem?

Let's say I'm running an iGPU and some discrete video card that is used on the Linux host. Can you switch to the iGPU whenever you want to passthrough the discrete GPU?

Passthrough is an all or nothing thing. You either configure it for the host or for the VM. If you need a big GPU for the Linux host, you need another card.

GNOME is like the 3k civic meme at this point from /o/. Its a good base but you need a lot of tweaks to get it right but once you do its rewarding. KDE is fine if her computer can handle GNOME.

I'm new to ricing, I don't want to be too autistic with it, just give it a pretty and consistent look.
I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon, installed the Numix theme and loved it, but it is red, I want to make it green. I tried to mess around with some config files, changed some color hexcodes but nothing changed, only think that I managed to change what the folder icons running a script that came with the theme, but the rest is still red.

Is there some brainlet/justwerks way to have numix green?
>>
>>60866051

You have to edit the sass files and then process/build the theme again to have the most consistent look.
Alternatively you can use Oomox or however it's spelled to fully customize your Numix theme, but that looks problematic to me.

So I am forced to use WebDAV to access my university's file server because apparently opening a few ports is too risky and too much work for the sysadmins. Lazy cunts.

I tried cadaver but that doesn't let me download many files (404 despite being able to download them fine on uni PCs (Windows 7, yuck) and being able to see them in cadaver).

There was something wrong with your systembotnet setup then.

>>60867397

>>
>>60866894
A good start is to use it more.
Then learn regex, specifically the sed syntax.
I use grep all the time, it is a great tool.

Give yourself homework and do it when you have time.
Eg. at school, we were told to find all the cursewords used in linux.
curl a site, get the list of cursewords with sed, clone the linux source code and grep through it to find any matches to the list of cursewords.

When you are comfortable doing stuff like that, you can use it in a professional way as well.
It is a good thing to save all your scripts (regardless of how juvenile) because in a few years, you might want to read them again.

Another tip is to use software that leads you to the command line.
Eg, use dolphin as your file manager instead of a purely graphical one, use vim as your editor etc.

I already changed the setting in KDE's systemsettings, but some shit seems to override it. So I set everything in systemd's logind.conf to ignore, but it still doesn't respect my settings.

Thanks, Captain Obvious. I guess I'll stick to vorbis until I get a new computer or hard drive and it's time to recompile.

Oh, the OS keep track of those paths, I thought it was a file manager thing.
Apparently I just have to change them on ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Changing the home path is possible too, but it is associated with the user account.

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 use distributions based on the Linux kernel, I don't care about "portability". Neither does the majority of people using it.
Flexibility is just another buzzword which means the same as your ridiculously subjective "portability" argument.
There are no programs with hard systemd dependencies. If there are, fork them and make them not depend on it. It's free software.

Nothing of that is relevant. It's all free software. In the end, the best solution will prevail.

Perhaps you should check out /x/, they like childish conspiracy theories. Or you should kill yourself to spare yourself and everyone else idiotic claims like that.

It doesn't really affect me what you do, you can do whatever you want. I just find your idiocy amusing and I like making fun of you and similar idiots. I have no stakes in systemd, I just use it because it's convenient and free software. I also like calling idiots like yourself out on their paranoid, 9/11 levels of paranoia, beliefs. It's refreshing and makes me seem like a lesser loser.

And it doesn't depend on systemd, that feature would only enable it to profit from some features it offers. You can still use it by missing out on those.

Let's say I'm a huge faggot. I don't want to pay for Apple but these little things bug me out when using Linux. Right now I'm on Ubuntu Mate but whenever I launch a Java application that has a system tray icon, it ignores the theme and has a white background on a black panel. Damn does that drive me crazy.

Which DE/Distro would you suggest for solid, bug-free experience. Something super consistent and beautiful. I know Linux is a mess because of the whole GTK vs. Qt thingy but whatever. I still prefer GNU/Linux over Mac OS so I'd rather not install Hackintosh.

I know all of you will say Elementary but no. It tries to copy Mac OS and it's buggy as fuck. I don't need my OS to look like Mac I just want it to be beautiful and consistent.

Yes, you are someone with in-depth knowledge about software and this field in general. Your criticisms and solutions posted here or elsewhere surely prove that. You have actual insight about the alleged problems and not just superficial and wrong (even a layman can see that it's pathetic grasping at straws) opinions you picked up from other likeminded idiots.
This isn't even systemd exclusive. I see idiotic posts like yours for every topic in this thread. How Qt is better than GTK, how Bash is terrible, how Xorg is better than Wayland. It's a neverending supply of idiocy. Keep it up.
At least some of us have enough decency to admit that they don't know anything about it and we stay out of technical arguments (apart from these, where we expose other idiots because even laymen like us can see that they're full of shit).

Funny you mentioned that because comparing the systemd controversy to bunch of children arguing which interactive shell is the best is nothing alike, it takes a fool. to equal these two.

We all choose to use GNU/Linux because we like how it's structured, we like it's philosophies and the flexibility it gives us.
This means that design choices are very fundamental to what makes GNU/Linux a fine system to use, right?
So we should look at systemd from a design perspective. Is it a good decision to make PID #1 a monolithic too-big-to-fail piece of software that even fucking kernel developers themselves claim is too complicated to understand? FUCK NO.

The "unix way" is a vital design criteria for important low level system software, hate it or not.

If we had programmed our software in the past like systemd is today, then it would be impossible to replace our old shit.
We'd be stuck with our old crusty init systems and systemd wouldn't even exist today.
How amazing is it that systemd was able to so easily step in and replace the init systems across every major distro in such a short period of time? The fact that it was able to do that is not a credit to systemd, it's a credit to the "unix way" that our old software was so easily interchanged.

The danger here is that systemd exploited the unix way to replace our old sotware, and now it doesn't follow the unix way meaning that in the future it's going to be impossible to replace it.

But continue sperging about idiots who "hate systemd because they dun understand it and I do lelelelelelel"
Technical standpoint? Sure thing buddy. Systemd is massive. The more complicated the project gets, the more people work on it, the harder it gets to spot bugs, vulnerabilities and other undersirable elements of it. And it gets bigger.
