Current list: ls [whycensor]-l, /proc/[whycensor]cmdline

In vim, I want to search for a pattern that only matches if it is in a specified proximity of a second string. For example, I want foo to match only if bar is within three lines of it.

I had to use Japanese slashes and let 4chan replace it with normal slashes lol.
If you try to make a post containing "/etc/hosts" you get "connection error"

Then I was using the loopback address instead of localhost so 4chan was flagging it as spam too.

Hello I have a very old powermac G4 that I want to put gentoo on but I know the compile time will take forever on that toaster and possibly melt the hardware.

Does anyone know of a way for me to compile the system for it on one machine and then put it on the powermac? I can't use distcc because networking is not an option.

Reposting from an old thread:
I'm getting this problem with my X220 where it won't connect to my TV. I plug it in and the TV gets no signal, but my laptop gets unresponsive too about half the time. I have it set so that its screen turns off when it's plugged in, and even thought I'm not connected the screen goes dark. What's worse is that when I unplug it the screen stays dark and I can't even adjust the volume. Usually I can get it back on by logging out but sometimes I have to shut it down manually. I'm not sure if the problem is with my computer's hardware, the HDMI cable, the TV, or my software. Until today it was all working fine.

By the way, I'm running Ubuntu.

>>60876765
> Does anyone know of a way for me to compile the system for it on one machine and then put it on the powermac?
Of course you can do that with Gentoo, it supports cross-compiling and binary packages.

Or you can use Sabayon's tooling as well.

>>60877088
What happens if you just manually use "xrandr"?
Basically you just type xrandr by itself to list all the displays and their available resolutions. Then you do something like:

xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080

I would recommend figuring out the right xrandr for your computer screen and keeping a terminal window open. So even if your screen goes black and you can't see you can still type the command out to turn your monitor back on (or maybe even just bind it to a hotkey or whatever works for you)

I want to drop botnet 10 and install a linux distro, which one is the most easy/comfy to use?

>>60877329
Tastes vary, which is why a lot of people use a lot of different distros even among interactive end user desktop-oriented distros.

Start trying one and see if it works for you.

>>60877409
I want something easy to use, similar to windows 10 gui.

Why is spacemacs such a piece of shit? I've tried installing it multiple times now from both the git repo and my instructors home directory on my school's Red Hat servers and my WSL (which required building emacs-25.1 from source because Ubuntu's repos are horseshit, which was the most ridiculous build process I've gone through; building Linux was less esoteric), and it either totally shits itself and can't do anything, or half of the interface is undisplayed unicode characters despite me having installed all the fonts on the machine it's running, my windows installation, and WSL. Even ignoring that horseshit, it's ridiculously slow. All I need is fucking org mode and an elisp interpreter, and my instructor is like hurr use spacemacs it's like vim but emacs, but at this point I'm starting to think I'll have better luck getting an org-mode plugin for vim, a superior editor.

Fuck emacs. Fuck spacemacs. Fuck GNU. Fuck Stallman.

>>60877183
Nah, tried that and nothing happened. It might not be a problem with the TV or cable, because the fact that the screen goes off means at least something is connected.

You should just hop on youtube, search linux desktop environments and get a good idea of what there is to choose from

>>60877329
Sorry to say but there really isn't any distro I would call both easy and comfy right now.

These things change over time. Ubuntu used to be the one, before they went insane.
Right now, I'd say there's a few on the horizon that could be the next big hype distro loved by both new and experienced users. But we're probably not quite there yet.

My current opinion is you either just go straight for an advanced distro, or you install a "user-friendly" one but will probably want to change it in a few years.

>Why are Autobahns such pieces of shit? I've tried having them built multiple times now by both my own workers and some contractors in my country (which required building Autobahn 25 from concrete because Asphalt is horseshit, which was the most ridiculous build process I've gone through; building statues of myself was less esoteric), and they either totally shit themselves and can't do anything, or half of the lanes are unfinished despite me having drawn all the markings on my plans, the plans the contractors used, and in my drawing book.

Puppy Linux

>>60877707

You install any distribution and then install minicom.

>>60878906
>>60879425

There is no reason why those would run any better compared to something like Ubuntu with the same software on top of it.
Stop recommending shitty niche distributions, retards. Chances are you've never used those yourself and you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

does nvidia not work with GNU/Linux or something? every single liveCD i've tried on my desktop blackscreens and

nomodeset

doesn't fix it.

>>60879514
Maybe because this is a distro meant for live image usage, it's lightweight af and will run on shitty hardware. Not something you can say for Ubuntu (Xubuntu or Lubuntu may work tho)

>>60879514

I didn't get specific, but the box has no HDD. don't need people able to mess it up, or bother having it fail.

>>60879525

Why do you think a live session would run faster? Not only will running it from a shitty USB 2.0 device (at best) be slower than running it from an SATA2 hard drive, but you can use the same software on it as on your shitty niche distributions. See this >>60879425:

>vlc
>palemoon

None of those are Puppy Linux exclusive.

>>60879514
>hurrdurr everyone should use Ubuntu because I say so

Fuck off, idiot.

>>60879655

If that's what you got from that, then your reading comprehension is on level with a 2nd grader.

>oh no someone didn't mention my distribution and they mentioned this other sensible choice for beginners but not even that definitely
>i don't like this how dare they?!

On top of that you haven't provided any actual arguments or data which would back up the fact that those shitty niche distributions would run faster than one of the major distributions running the same software. Hint: you can't because that's impossible.

Sorry, but I think it's you who should kill himself.

>>60879743
And if you think Ubuntu would be even remotely appropriate for the use-case presented, you're either illiterate or so far up your own ass that you can't comprehend that not everyone needs to use Ubuntu. So go fuck yourself with a rake.

How much software is available on Solus nowadays? I want a decent "just werks" distribution with a good MATE desktop support for all of my laptops. I do a ton of programming and need loads of software for that so I'm currently using Ubantoo MATE on all of my devices.

>>60879763

Have you still not figured out that Ubuntu was just an example? I don't even use Ubuntu, but I can claim that there's no reason to use those shitty niche distributions ,especially not if idiots like you think they would "run faster".

Why wouldn't Ubuntu be appropriate? Do you have any actual arguments or just failed reading comprehension?

>>60879767

Why do you think Solus would have "better" Mate "support" than Ubuntu or any other distribution? Assuming you use the same version, it's exactly the same software.

https://git.solus-project.com/?ofs=2050

>>60879779
>Have you still not figured out that Ubuntu was just an example?
...do you not understand what "example" means? Do you even read your OWN posts? How is it you're even able to type with so much brain damage?

>I don't even use Ubuntu, but I can claim that there's no reason to use those shitty niche distributions ,especially not if idiots like you think they would "run faster".
That's only because you're a fucking idiot. How are you even in this thread if you don't know what "live-CD" means?

>>60879655
>hurr durr Noobuntu for newbies XD
Stop your life now.

>>60879809
Not even remotely what I said, retard. It's just not a good choice if you need LIGHT-WEIGHT DISTRO BEING RUN FROM A LIVE-CD

>>60879802

>How are you even in this thread if you don't know what "live-CD" means?

There was no reason for him to stick to a distribution that runs from RAM. See his original post.
Then idiots like you come in and suggest idiotic solutions based on myths and assumptions (PuppyLinux and other stuff is faster than [insert major distribution here]). Only later did he state that his computer has no hard drive. Not even then are those distributions warranted, because you can install distributions on USB flash drives the same way you can on hard drives. Bottom line, he won't see any improvement when running Firefox and browsing YouTube on PuppyLinux compared to any other distribution on the same hardware.

>>60879851
He can either have something that does what he wants out of the box, or he can take something that's meant for a different use-case entirely and spend several hours customizing it. Bottom line is that only a retard would insist the latter is a reasonable choice unless he just wants to mess around for fun.

Now that we're clear on that, just fuck off and kill yourself, you retarded waste of oxygen.

>>60879868

So... do you have data which proves that Firefox or similar software runs significantly faster on PuppyLinux or any of those similar distributions? Because that's the point here in case you missed it.

>>60879887
No, but the recommended specs for ubuntu include minimum of 2 GB of RAM, so I would guess that it won't run too well with half of that. Feel free to prove me wrong, though.

>>60879954

There is something called the Ubuntu net-installer. No one is forcing you to use Unity.

Why is this allowed?

>>60879964
>no harddrive

>>60879792
Both Ubuntu and Solus have good MATE support. I didn't say one would have better than the other. Both have a maintainer for the MATE version. Both have nice MATE defaults and software to improve the MATE experience. F.ex. Ubuntu MATE comes with stuff like mate-menu and Solus with brisk-menu to improve the MATE experience. Both also include MATE Tweak and other crap that's usually not in any repositories and has to be compiled. I have so many devices I don't have time for configuring and compiling.

>>60879979

That wasn't known when the question was posted. Regardless of that, the point that one should use those shitty distributions gets made all the time whenever someone mentions low-end hardware.
He has an USB flash drive.

>>60879964
The whole point is to run a distro from a usb stick or a DVD/CD. It also needs to be as lightweight as possible because oh his shit specs.
What is it that you don't understand?

>>60880008
The original post >>60878869 literally said he want's a LIVE-CD distro. Having or not having a HDD doesn't matter if you specifically ask for something to run from a live cd.

>>60879999
thanks, nice digits

Is there a way to uninstall unity from ubuntu 16.04 after installing xfce, without fucking it up?
Tried to just purge unity, but got a "screen, graphics card etc not detected, system running in low-graphics mode what do you want to do?" and then some options, but compltetely unrespoponsive.
Had to reinstall unity, and everything works fine.

I could just nuke everything and install xubuntu from a live-cd, if there's no way to remove unity.

>>60880317
Maybe post the list of packages that get uninstalled when you remove unity? It shouldn't be hard to locate the shit you need to keep. Then marking those packages as manually installed may be enough to keep them installed.

>>60880317
Did you remember to log out and switch to xfce first?

>>60880380
Yes sure.
>>60880359
True. Think I just install xubuntu then, it's a clean install anyway. Just having unity laying around bothers me, and it sounds like it'll be more work to uninstall unity.

There's no easy to use distro, you should choose one based on people you know who can help you with Linux.
If you don't know anyone, get Ubuntu because it has largest install base and increases your chances on getting help with it.

>>60880709
Technically, adding a copyright notice (without any license) does literally nothing. Stuff you post online without a free license is (c) copyright, You, automatically.

That's not a file host's responsibility, but they recommend licensing anything you upload there.

Hi guys, i have a question.
Ok so my mouse scrolling is kinka weird on my debian, let me explain:
>on windows
smooth, and in an internet browser, just incredibly smooth and fast, ok
>on my gnu
smooth too, but in an internet browser not really and the speed change cause the wheel itself is not mechanicly smooth and i have to roll a lot.
My problem is quite solved with an add_on, but i would like to know if there is something i can modify deep in my browser instead of just go to /firefox_menu/options/advanced/general/smooth scrolling (disabled now cause the add_on is better).
Thank you.

What distro should I install on a 2012 MacBook Air? I have used Debian and Ubuntu so I know my way around Linux.

I want to dual boot Arch and Windows and I'm struggling to understand how to do that from the installer, since I've never partitioned a disk before. Specifically, I don't understand how to resize the Windows partition in order to free space for the Arch partitions. Any tips?

>>60881553

How do I correctly setup permissions for my websites /public_html folder?

Now it's nginix:nginx, what I want to do is to make another user, let's say "john", would be able to edit/delete the files in that folder.

Is adding user "john" to group 'nginx' and

chmod -R g+rw /public_html

is a good idea? Is this the correct way?

>>60882214
Sounds good. That's what I'd do at least.

What mail server config would you recommend for personal use? I was using dovecot + postfix smtp/imap with startssl.com certs but it was driving me mad all the time

>>60881553
You can just boot from a systemrescuecd liveusb and use gparted, which is a partitioning tool with a gui, where resizing a partition is a matter of right click → resize

>>60882630
I tried to load the GParted live CD, but it doesn't seem to load past a tty for some reason. I just want to know how to resize a given partition using one of the tools in the installer, because the wiki isn't very clear in this regard.

Get a partitioning tool with GUI, if "gparted livecd" doesn't boot for you "for some reason" (though it probably prints out an error or something akin to "press any key to launch graphical mode"), try SystemRescueCD instead, or just get Ubuntu installer, I think it had a partitioning GUI too

Now that Debian is moving to Stretch, should we expect Devuan to quickly move from Jessie to Ascii? Devuan project is doing great, but it will be too far behind if they keep up Jessie for another year

>>60883023
Synaptic lists 381 packages with "devuan" string in it's version number. And that includes a solid 100 of task-local-language packages for installing in non-english.

So at a stretch they have roughly 200 packages to worry about. And since upstream Debian is already preparing for the switch and finalizing Stretch it's not far fetched to assume Devuan team already has most (if not) all the packages de-systemdized and ready for release.

Also its never a good idea to upgrade day one. Bugs happen. Wait for a few weeks before upgrading

You're not going to have a fun experience on any modern desktop environment. I use GNU/Linux on a 2007 laptop with a dual core 1.8Ghz CPU.
Slowness sometimes kill me, I was forced to move to absolute-bare-minimum window manager with few lighweight tools to squeeze the most out of the machine.

If you need a full desktop environment I definitely recommend LXDE above everything else.

So my company is finally trying to adopt Linux for a few power users. It's pretty much not up to me what distro they are using. They are going to use Ubuntu. Question is, what software should I use as a central management software? It needs to interface with Active Directory so they can maintain all their passwords.

Right now, I'm looking into FreeIPA. Is there a better alternative? Thanks.

>>60885264
mpv and xscreensaver devs make a point of blaming each other for the fact that their programs don't play together well and refuse to acknowledge their software's behaviour as a bug, much less fix it.

Meanwhile, adding this to mpv.conf can make it work.
heartbeat-cmd="xscreensaver-command -deactivate >&- 2>&- &"

I have no idea if this is relevant to wayland. Actually I have no clue what the fuck wayland is, never heard it outside of /g/.

The error I get is something like "rfkill: command not found" which I can only assume it's because I didn't install the package during the installation process, as I can run installed programs such as iw. Is there any way I can solve the issue besides redoing everything from scratch?

Since there is no /sqt/ right now I'll ask here.

I'm trying to install Linux Hardened in Arch but don't really know what I'm doing.

What I'm trying to do is:

pacman -S linux-hardened
sed -i 's/vmlinuz-linux/vmlinuz-linux-hardened/g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sed -i 's/initramfs-linux.img/initramfs-linux-hardened.img/g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sed -i 's/initramfs-linux-fallback.img/initramfs-linux-fallback-hardened.img/g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg
mkinitcpio -p linux-hardened

So basically replace all instances of the normal linux kernel with the hardened version in my boot loader and do mkinicpio.
After doing this when I boot my PC it hangs after the last OK. I'm chrooted in and reverted the changes now so I can use my PC.

So what do I need to do to set this up?

How do I configure the title bar in i3 gaps?
I want to remove all text from it and change the color.

I can only find documentation on changing the border behavior and the i3bar colors.

>>60886494
Your grub dosent look correct,manually do it

>>60886132
That's probably easier to fix than get wayland to work because wayland protocol isn't even out of alpha

>>60886259
>arch-chroot'ing
Wew, I did plain chroot. So this is the issue?

>>60886598
Yes

>>60886494
I don't think you're supposed to edit grub.cfg manually

>>60886558
What do you mean manually? I changed everything pertaining to the linux kernel with that of the linux-hardened kernel.

But by any chance do you know how to change the kernel in /etc/default/grub ? In systemd-boot you just do it in the conf file you make for e very boot entry, but grub is really weird and the documentation for it is kind of chaotic.

>>60886564
there's nothing to fix. It's been like that on every distro I've tried on every computer I've tried.

>>60886632
Dont use sed.Manually go in to grub.cfg and setup the kernel boot
I dont use grub,since they went retard mode with the config.You could use syslinux as its way more sane with its config.

>>60886611
Yeah I just don't know how to change kernel in /etc/default/grub so I tried manually editing grub.cfg.
Do you know how to do it? Cause the grub documentation is more messy than my pubic hair.

>>60886667
You set GRUB_DEFAULT in it, either to the name of the default entry or to it's index

>So why does wayland not have a third party solution then?
Because it's up to the compositor to implement it. I don't know much about GNOME, Sway or other Wayland compositor's implementation. You are again moving the goalposts after being proven wrong.

I use zsh for terminal... I'm also fond of curly braces.

I have a code that looks like this (echo is substituted for a more complex file rename command:

for i in *{.jpg,.jpeg};do echo "$i"; done 

This works great as long as the folder I'm in has both the .jpg and jpeg files... but if only jpg or jpegs are present, this does not work and zsh gives me this error (when I only have .jpeg files:

script.sh:1: no matches found: *.jpg

>>60886896
>And Xorg does?
Yes it does

You can control both screensaver and DPMS via X11 api

You can't do that via Wayland yet, you can't actually do shit with Wayland because it's not designed for desktop, it was supposed to be used on embedded systems. I don't think there's an interface to take a screenshot in wayland yet.

Plus there is only one compositor that more or less works on all drivers (mutter), and I'm not sure if mutter even supports all input devices yet (yes, because of wayland every compositor should also implement input handling too, which basically kills off every small WM that existed under X11)

It's too early to use wayland on desktop

Retard, that's brace expansion is a shortcut for that.

>>60888054
zsh has a much easier to remember expansion:

*{.ext1,.ext2,...}

>>60888075
That's bypassing shell expansions.

The solution to the problem that >>60887839 encountered is this:

setopt +o nomatch

Put it into your .zshrc or whatever and then it will not complain when it matches just one of the expansion parameters.

DPMS isn't a classic screensaver. It handles power management for displays.
Wayland compositors support it, at least Kwin/Plasma (pretty sure others do too).
https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2015/09/comparing-dpms-on-x11-and-wayland/

The only screensaver-esque thing built into Xorg, is the blanking. Sure, you can turn it off (using xset from your shell), but similar utilities will exist for Wayland compositors too (if they already don't).

Not a meme. If anything, bash is a fucking meme because it's so shitty and illogical in many ways.
