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.
Use 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 portage (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/

How the fuck do I make apt-get automatically nuke everything that's deprecated or is giving an error?

>>60952144

sudo apt-get autoclean; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

>>60952152
You should read the documentation, anon. "autoclean" is useless when you run "clean" anyway.

>>60952144
>automatically nuke everything that's deprecated
sudo apt-get install {{program}} --auto-remove
>or is giving an error
sudo apt-get install {{program}} --fix-broken

Yeah, sorry for not clarifying.

I can't stop distro hopping, every time I decide to stick with a distro, I fail.

What distro are you using and why have you stuck with it, /g/?

>>60952292
I have just started this week with Kubuntu since I was recommended to use it, I wanted more speed for my work, although it seems my osx machine isn't properly detecting iphones so I might have to switch back to windows or find out if my computer is hackingtosh compatible.

>>60952292
I settled with Debian b/c it just fits my needs. Thinking about switching to Devuan, but basically I'm done distro-hopping.

>>60952292
You need to realize that all distros are the same GNU/Linux system. The only differences are package management and philosophy.

So, distro hopping actually means package manager hopping. Try all package managers and you have tried all distros.

So I wanted to make a media server with a raspberry pi. Is Raspbian at all decent or should i go with arm-arch?

I just wanted to try it. I'm not really sure how to solve slot conflicts when they occur.

The wiki recommends doing a --oneshot on the package, but when I try to emerge --oneshot media-libs/glew-1.10.0-r2 like it asks I get the same slot conflict.

>>60953171
Sorry I can't help, it was just a little funny that the root of your problem was runescape

>>60953187
yes, it is. I spent a lot of my childhood making fun of my friend for playing this shit, now here I am wanting to give it a try

Anyone have experiences with USB wifi dongles?
Any recommendations for a dongle that works well with Xubuntu?
I'm currently using some cheap no-name dongle that can barely hold a connection for 10 minutes.

Is Trisquel a good jumping off point for trying a totally free OS?

>>60953266
Yes.

Personally Gentoo is my absolute favorite operating system. You can accomplish a totally free setup with

ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE"

>>60953281
Thanks, and I might have to try gentoo. I understand the meme but it also seems really interesting

>>60953238
Last I checked (a few years ago, but it could only have got better) ones with atheros chipsets had the best support in the kernel without having to screw around with firmware and whatnot.

>>60953306
It's very interesting, but a bit of a timesink, so you can only enjoy it if this sort of thing is your hobby (building your own system, configuring it, customizing it, and reading the necessary documentation to learn about your system)

>>60953330
>building your own system, configuring it, customizing it, and reading the necessary documentation to learn about your system

This is the exact reason I want to try it. One of my friends who's deeper in the rabbit hole than I am suggests that everyone try gentoo at least once to develop a deeper appreciation for linux and computing in general.

I don't know how much of that is true, but I'm going to try it one of these days.

>>60953266
it's good, but the packages are behind (last I checked it's based on Ubuntu 14.04)

There's Parabola (shortened from Parabola GNU/Linux-libre), which is based on Arch and has up-to-date packages while still providing a fully free system. Never used it though so I can't vouch for it.

Anyone can help me with this bullshit? Thanks, I rly appreciate it.

>>60953367
I've considered Parabola, but I've never used an Arch based system, so I'm wondering if it would be too jarring to adjust. I've also considered Void Linux, but since theres almost no documentation, it doesnt seem like an alternative.

>>60953365
yep, there's nothing quite like it. There's Linux From Scratch, but to me that's more tedious than it is enjoyable.

First week of Gentoo you may want to rip it out of your system and put Debian or Windows back on it (portage error messages, slot conflicts, circular dependencies, and other messages you probably won't understand). But once you take the time to understand what the messages are telling you, and how Portage works, you'll come to appreciate it.

>>60953391
Void has a nonfree repo and recommends nonfree software, so its not a free distro.

>>60953391
Arch is about the same as a Debian-based distro, minus an installer, and the package manager is different but the functionality of the package manager is about the same as Debian's package manager on a basic level, for the end user at least.

>>60953378
Anyone?

>>60953472
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN722N
TP link does pretty solid hardware and this chipset was first seen in kernel 2.6.35 so I would expect it to work fine. You might need to install firmware-atheros but I would try it without first to see if it actually needs it. If you have `udevadm monitor -p -u` (or maybe -k instead of -u) running when you plug it in you should be able to see any firmware requests.

>>60953493
What really bugs me is that it's just not efficient and you need to jump through hoops like typing your password. Why not just:

rm -rf ~

?
- faster
- shorter
- doesn't need privs
- gets rid of important stuff only

>>60953563
valid, but the system is still usable, and the purpose of the joke is just to be as much of an asshat as possible, and how can you be more of an asshat than completely nuking someone's system?

I have a 32 gig USB drive that is blank and I want to make into a bootable Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya drive so that I can get Linux into one of my partitions so that I can boot either Win10 or Mint.
Questions:
What Bios settings do I do for an HP pavilion 360?
Is there any special thing I have to do to the USB drive before I torrent Linux to it so that it will boot up?
Should Legecy be enabled?
Does Visualizations enabled or disabled matter?
Why am I stuck on this (Am I retarded)?
What is the difference between mirroring Linux and Torrenting and does that have an effect on being bootable from a USB?

>>60954413
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.

>>60954304
no
>>60954413
I cant figure it out.

>>60954441
Odin's Beard!

>>60954413
>What Bios settings do I do for an HP pavilion 360?
Er is that a laptop? you might have to turn off secure boot.
Otherwise just see if you can quick select boot device and choose the usb drive or put the usb drive at the top of the boot devices list. The usual for booting from USB.

>Is there any special thing I have to do to the USB drive before I torrent Linux to it so that it will boot up?
Depends what method you are using to make a live disk, if it is a fancy UI frontend to making one it should do it all for you.

>Should Legecy be enabled?
Depends if you make the live disk with efi (no) or not (yes).

> Does Visualizations enabled or disabled matter?
I don't no what you mean but I am guessing no.

> Why am I stuck on this (Am I retarded)?
You might be retarded but there is a fair bit of niche knowledge involved if you dig into this shit so it is easy to get confused.

>What is the difference between mirroring Linux and Torrenting and does that have an effect on being bootable from a USB?
Pretty sure a "mirror" is just a http host of the same thing that the torrent will get you at the end. So no difference.

>>60953266

You're a pretentious idiot who is only asking this question to make himself look smart.
If you were "advanced" enough to really need a free software only distribution, you'd already know what makes a distribution and don't ask such a retarded question. There is no "jumping point". You will only not get to use certain software, everything else will be the same.
Retard.

>>60953330

You can build, configure, customize and read documentation on any distribution.

Anyone care to explain why Debian stable is a moldy burger, and windows is a fucking beautiful sandwich on ciabatta bread?

Why is everything so fucking jittery in Ubuntu? I have a 144Hz monitor but the windows are lagging like crazy and YouTube videos play with what feels like 20 fps.

>>60955475
Because debian stable only updates to new software every two years. It is for servers where the admins don't want to be dealing with possible breaking program updates every week. It has cherry picked security updates and bug fixes but no new features or libraries to build against during that time. So if you are using it as a desktop you will be frustated with the age of some components.

>>60955529
Or you just enable backports.

>>60955557
Which doesn't help one bit if the package you want didn't get a backport.

Depends on from what direction you want to approach it. Linux From Scratch is an in depth step by step guide that should help you learn some development practices and how libraries and applications interoperate etc. If you are angling for a more sysadmin oriented book, eh I dunno. Google it, there are probably dozens and most of them will be opinionated.

>>60955973
Err, what problem?

If your are referring to alsa hardware devices being only acessable by one thing then that really hasn't been a problem in a long time and if you had bothered to follow the link you would have seen it specifically refer to dmix and dsnoop which are the standard alsa modules for providing software based muxing.

>>60956105
If your Firefox pays sound when nothing else is running then no, that's a separate problem.

>>60956041
Interesting read, the Firefox media maintainer said that because the audio abstraction library they use doesn't expose some features of alsa that he wants he is dropping support. "But distros can enable it at build time", as if that will make a difference if he isn't maintaining it.

On debian the nvidia-settings program comes from the package of the same name. I assume it is the same on mint. It has less features than the Windows one but it is all you get apart from some tweaks to xorg. If you are just aiming to do display management use the native stuff.

Setting display resolution is usually handled via xrandr/arandr or whatever your DE provides as display manager. If your TVs native resolution isn't available in them then I think you need to Google how to add new modelines in xorg.conf

I don't use PCLinuxOS, I've never even tried it. I have tried most distributions out there but I just heard of PCLinuxOS for the first time today. I'm just wondering why so? After reading a bit about it, it seems it's not even a tiny or obscure distribution.

Considering the fact that /g/ talks shit about every distribution out there, why is this never discussed? Especially as /g/ really loves to shitpost about systemd.

best email client?

>>60957145
Thunderbird.

>>60957145
emacs

>>60957145
for goooey probably thunderbird. It's not the best, but it's definitely the most hassle-free one.

for ncurses/cli no idea. I wonder if it's actually worth it to migrate from thunderbird to something like mutt.
If any anon using mutt is ITT, give us your insight.

I find thunderbird a bit bugged (and bloated). Alter the last update to ver 52.2 every second time I start it my main account seems empty (with not even the inbox folder), and the mail list window show some empty entries.
Am I the only one with this problem?
No extension installed and already tried the safe mode.

How are free software developers supposed to earn a living?
I'm seriously asking this.

>>60957265
Check your accounts. If Thunderbird redownloads directory list and emails everytime you launch it, that means it doesn't store imap archieves locally.

>>60957270

>>60957270
I don't recall free software ever implying being unemployed friend. Just find a company that does free software. Or start one.

>>60957285
Where I'll develop proprietary software?
I don't want to flip burgers for living to do free software.

>>60957291
There are no such companies, it implicitly implies having no job because there's absolutely no real business model that would be compatible with developing free software.

>>60957270

foundations, donations, corps funding them, stock exchange, commercial-use-licenses

theres actually people earning a living e.g. at the mozilla-_foundation_

>>60952724
It's ironic that a NetBSD dev would go on to make a GNU/Linux distro with docs that somehow manage to be so bad that they manage to be less than useless, in the sense that the man pages that actually have info are generally outdated, frustrating, and misguiding.

>>60957309
>There are no such companies
Try to do some research first before making highly uneducated opinions on the internet, mkay?

>>60957270
-you work for a company which develops free software (redhat, suse, mozilla, even fucking microsoft employs devs to work on linux's hyperv support)
-you sell support contacts for your free software like Namesys. They also had an option when an interested client could pay them to add new, previously unplanned features to their product.
-you develop GPLd software and sell permissive licenses for it so proprietary software devs can use them
-you develop server software and sell services running it (like how owncloud devs sell owncloud server instances)

>>60957309
a lot of private companies employ programmers to work on open source software. A few well known examples are red hat, google, intel and canonical. (i.e. multi billion companies except canonical).

>>60957145

>tfw no hassle free TUI or CLI client

How come there's no simple client which would just display your emails in it and then you can use your text editor of choice to write emails which the program would send?
I understand that mutt works kind of like that, but you need additional software with it plus it has way too many features.

>>60957281
Shouldn't it supposed to work anyway? Never had this problem before the last update.

>company that does free software
The only 2 I can think of are canonical and Mozilla. I'm pretty sure they're both non profit aren't they? I don't there are free software developers that make money, charging money for software when is source code is freely available is kind of weird.

>>60952955
The only reason Linus did that was because he didn't want someone else to hijack the name and be a huge pain in the ass for everyone in the community.

I don't remember it all that clearly, so you can ask /jp/ if you want to know more about it, but I think a year or so ago, ZUN, the creator of Touhou, was fighting some kind of legal battle with a guy for the rights to the Touhou name, despite the fact that Touhou is so popular in Japan it's basically synonymous with doujin culture.

It sucks, but there are assholes in this world that don't care about culture or community in the slightest. Nevermind the fact that people have devoted their entire lives to projects like this, they just want to line their pockets. Really, just revolting.

RedHat is a massive corporation. Mozilla is a foundation

>charging money for software when is source code is freely available is kind of weird.
They don't charge money for source code. They earn money from supporting their products. Like any non-consumer oriented business on the planet.
Heavy equipment manufacturers (like Caterpillar) lose money on every mining/farming/building vehicle they sell. They get that money back from selling parts.

There are even small devs that charge you for compiled ready-to-install binaries for Windows while the source code is available on github or whatever

>foundations, donations
good luck with supporting yourself based on this.

>corps funding them
Corps that develop primarily proprietary software?

>stock exchange
Sure buddy, buy some papers of a company that doesn't earn anything.

>commercial-use-licenses
Nobody will buy them, because they'll just take the source code, embed it in their proprietary product and you won't be able to prove they did that, so they don't really have to pay you anything.

>mozilla-_foundation_
Mozilla has some issues that I'm sure everybody here heard about.

>>60957328
Too few of them to really support the idea of free software business model.

>>60957350
They all essentially work on something proprietary which brings them real money.

You were asking how open source programmers get revenue, that's a valid example.

>>60957398

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

>>60957501
Yes, that is one way to work as open source programmer. But if it's the case then free software enthusiasts shouldn't shame free devs working for companies doing nonfree stuff. This exactly means that proprietary software sponsors free software.

"<anything> enthusiasts" is just the new therm for dumb fanboys, and what they think or say is not exactly relevant or worth anything.
The linux no profit foundation, for example, has an entire page listing their corporate members:

They collaborate with opensource because it's more convenient for everyone (from students to professional applications), not to make some random freetard happy.

Why do you say I have autism?

I am trying to clean up after myself after compiling and looking at a LaTeX document. Essentially, I have a directory containing a file called document.tex (name arbitrary, ending is always .tex) and some other files that do not include the phrase "document".

$ tree

├── anotherfile
├── document.tex
├── subdir1
│ ├── afile3

└── unrelated_doc.pdf

2 directories, 13 files

I want to get rid of all files starting with "document" and ending in anything BUT .tex. How would I do that? I guess I could create a temporary copy of document.tex elsewhere, remove all files starting with "document" and copy it back again but there must be some way to exclude phrases (instead of single characters) from regexes in find, right?

>>60958626

>>60958701
Ah yes, that's the one.

$ a='document.tex'
$ find . -maxdepth 1 -regex ".*/${a%.*}.*" \! -regex ".*/$a.*"

even lets me keep document.tex.bak which is nice. Basically it deletes all files in the current directory starting with 'document', which don't include 'document.tex' (anywhere) in the filename.

>>60958626
Here is a non optimal way
$ find . -name document\* | grep -v tex\$ | xargs echo rm
Remove the echo if the output looks right.

I never used steam in my whole life. Why are people so addicted to it? Why not just play the game without steam? When I read about the drm thing and the TOS that basically removes any rights from you, I don't even want to try it.

I'm having an issure with mpv and youtube-dl. The default setting is the best video and audio quality, which sometimes leads to a 1080p stream and my cheap laptop can't handle that. Is there a way to have a youtube-dl filter that only uses streams, for instance, below 720p?

>>60959053

Apparently openSUSE no longer releases for i686 so I would have to use an outdated version, am I right?

I have an nvidia video card and get horrible screen tearing with or without the proprietary driver being used. To fix this I have to turn on triple buffering and fullcompositingpipeline, but when I do this my machine seems to be lagging and utilizing too much cpu. Is this just one of those things that cant be fixed? >inb4 upgrade your rig, the hardware should be plenty fine to run a MATE desktop and a web browser playing a 1080p video or a steam game....

I tried to do some research and pretty much the only thing that was thrown out there was "wait for wayland", but this seems more like an install gentoo meme to me.

>>60959583
I think Linus falls into both categories.

Tempting, why is it better than Debian?

>>60959448
Was trying to avoid it, but I see there are not other RPM options except Fedora based distributions.


>>60959533
It isn't matter of being too stupid for Arch or gentoo for me, I'm going to use this laptop to do some work, I don't want a system that requires constant maintenance, already have another machine to fuck around.

But I would rather not use Ubuntu because it is bloated as fuck, and this machine is old (also hate bloatware like any sane user)

>>60959636
It's not better than debian.

>>60959551
Nothing.

>>60959636
I believe there's a minimal Ubuntu install with bloat removed.

why not Debian stable?

>>60959729
It could be Debian I guess, I used it before

>>60959727
I think it all reduces it to "it doesn't have systemd", right?

Why is systemd bad? Genuinely asking

>>60959782
Watch the video, it explains the problematic very well.

>>60959782

>>60959813
Thanks

>>60959813
But this assumes that systemd is just an init system, which it really isn't.

can someone explain what systemd makes better/different? i don't know much about the topic, but afaik an init system just starts programs as daemons, right?

There is a current bug where it constantly sends/receives data to/from Google. This was brought up in the Debian bug tracker and Lennart responded by saying it would not be fixed as it is a non-issue.

This isn't a bug and has been happening for a while now, but people generally don't seem to mind Google collecting their data so nothing will be done about it.

>>60960020
>There is noting right with sending data to the botnet by force
What happens exactly? Is systemd responsible?

how to install gentoo?

>>60959893
Pretty much the only thing it does better than other inits is that it can automatically restart crashed services.

Other than that it does everything worse and is less stable and unnecessarily bloated and complex. A kernel developer even said systemd was too complex to figure out. That is a _terrible_ way to design PID 1 since if it crashes so does your entire machine.
and they've already found a small terminal command that could be run as any user and would reliably crash systemd. They've patched it by now of course, but no doubt we'll see more stuff like that in the future.

I'm using Arch, what is a good program to take a screenshot

>>60960121
I remember that command, it was something with NOFITY="" right?

>>60960134
You could try
>import screenshot.png
which usese Imagemagick and comes installed by default on a lot of distros.

Another popular choice is "scrot"

>>60959893
Well, one major issue is precisely that it isn't just an init system. It's been gradually taking over all sorts of other functions, like DNS resolution.

This has the immediate disadvantage of a loss of flexibility and modularity, as you can no longer pick the individual daemons you want to use for each task. It also raises security concerns, first as a result of homogeneity itself (since systemd users are going to use systemd for all those functions, and thus a bug in any part of systemd will affect all of them - couple that with the fact that many of the most popular distros use systemd), and secondly because big, complex and feature-rich projects are harder to maintain and audit, and more prone to security vulnerabilities.

How bad is it to use a rolling release distro and just never update anything that could break? Like, could I run Arch or Void, find the most stable packages, and then just run them for a year or two?

When setting up ssh to use keys:
On which machine to I generate keys, which key do I copy to the other machine?

>>60960659
no, just >>60960643

>>60960691
if you want to connect from A to B, you generate the key at A and copy it to B

ssh-add — adds private key identities to the authentication agent

You should know by now that this isn't what you want.

What guide are you following? I just add keys manually to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, and I haven't yet seen any guide that instructed otherwise.

>>60960961
Well, now I don't have to type my PC password anymore when I scp files, but the phone is asking for the key passphrase every time which is annoying.

>>60960998
That happens when you generate a ssh-key with a password.

>>60960998
Just give it an empy passphrase when generating the key pair.

Security concerns: software on your phone could theoretically grab that key with or without a passphrase, so it doesn't make a big difference. As for your phone getting stolen, you should of course remove the key from authorized_keys if it happens, but if you're logging in from your LAN and your PC's ssh port is not exposed to the Internet it would be useless to attackers anyway (assuming you change your wifi password).
