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/

If I export variables in my .bashrc, they won't be available for use in my Bash scripts, right? Because .bashrc is for interactive shells only, as in, when I start my terminal emulator?

I gotta have my China.

Is putting Parabola with OpenRC instead of systemd on my T400 a one way ticket to user hell? I want muh absolute freedumbs but it feels like managing a system with so little support because of proprietary drivers would be even more difficult than Linux from Scratch

http://appimage.org/

It's an amazing piece of technology. To make the application portable, it is embed into its own virtual file system, the "image", which includes the application but also all the required dependencies. Download once, run everywhere! AppImage has been endorsed by Linus Torvalds himself.

Maybe there still hope for gnu+linux on desktop, after all.

And this is where he is dead wrong. I tried these appimage things and had to install a few stuff to make them run. However this might not be an issue if you have a complete desktop metapackage installed.

will linux ever be able to play videos without stuttering?

>>60993945
Hopefully not, playing videos is a task for userspace programs.

>>60992382
Which distro?
Most fist to when you update the kernel it delete all the modules(drivers) of the old version,, so until you reboot you will only have the kernel that was already running but only with the driver's that were already loaded

>>60993945

I had no idea Linux was able to play videos in the first place.

Although "GNU/Linux" /ɡəˈnuː slæʃ ˈlJnəks/ is often pronounced without the slash, Stallman recommends explicitly saying the word "slash" or "plus" in order to avoid the mistaken suggestion that the Linux kernel itself is a GNU package,[55] as is the case with GNU Linux-libre.

The expression “the Linux kernel” can easily be misunderstood as meaning “the kernel of Linux” and implying that Linux must be more than a kernel. You can avoid the possibility of this misunderstanding by saying or writing “the kernel, Linux” or “Linux, the kernel”.

>>60995122
Hey friend! I notice that you happen to have misunderstood the meaning of the word "free" in "free software". Allow me to explain.
When we are talking about free software, we aren't referring to price. We don't mean "free" as in "free beer"; if we did, we would say "gratis". Instead, what is meant by free software is software that respects your software freedoms. Think of "free speech". Now what are these software freedoms that I mentioned? There are four of them and they are essential to the user's ability to control their own computing, as opposed to being controlled by their software. The four software freedoms are:
0. To run the program as the user wishes.
1. To study the source code of the program and change it so it does what the user wishes.
2. To share exact copies of the program with the user's friends, neighbors and anyone else the user wishes to share the software with.
3. To distribute modified versions of the software, thus improving the program and helping the community.
When a program's license does not grant the user all of the software freedoms, it is a nonfree, proprietary program. These programs restrict the user's freedoms and put them under the control of whoever wrote the software. This is an injustice that the free software movement is fighting against.
Let me stress once again that software freedom isn't concerned with price; in fact, developers of free software are welcome to charge whatever fee they find appropriate.
I hope I could clear up this misunderstanding on your part. Have a nice day!

stallman is not a philosophically pure person. he follows his ideals when convenient, and ignores them or slightly alters them when the conflict isn't worth it.

stallman is an egoist in denial, afraid of admitting that he just wants some fucking source code instead of a world where he has to rely on other people because he knows he wouldn't get it that way.

his system has some practical merits but his attempts at creating moral justifications are completely pathetic and nonsensical. how low do you have to be to have to make up bullshit "oughts" when you can just say "it would be fucking better"?

A "net installation" means that all/most packages are fetched over the
internet from a distribution's mirrors at the time of install. While
this might seem like the norm today, it wasn't always that way. People
had slow internet, so it was often easier to download the big multiset
DVDs when we wanted to install a distribution on a new machine.

A "minimal installation" is when you go into the advanced options in the
debian installer and do an "expert" install. This allows much more
granular control over precisely what packages are installed on your new
machine.

Obviously, a net install does not imply a minimal install, and a minimal
install does not imply a net install. The reason your new install has a
lot of games in spite of doing a net install is because those games come
with a default Debian install and that's what you installed.(though that
doesn't seem right to me, I think you might have actually selected them
explicitly...maybe?)

Regardless, if you want to have a more minimal install, this gives you
an opportunity to really dive into apt. Look into tasksel, with a bit of
googling you can bring the number of packages on your system down
considerably.

Hope this helps.

Hi /g/uys,

I want to dual boot windows and debian. However, grub is a bitch because I mostly forget about it and accidentaly boot into the default option.

I have seen the option to install GRUB on a separate hard disk/flash drive. Does that mean that when the flash drive is in, I'm booting Linux and when it's out of the port, I'm booting Windaz? It would be great to know, but I'd rather know before shitting up my PC.

Thanks, guys.

For example that person. He's one of those idiots who heard something "cool" and now he's parrotting it because he thinks it makes him smart. He think that there all standalone window managers have a tiling modus operandi. He isn't aware of the dozens of other standalone window managers which support floating/stacking or which are even dynamic.

I see comments like this all the time in these threads and simply replying with "kill yourself" isn't cutting it for me any more.

I looked up that model name in the debian wiki, my usual first stop, no dice. I then tried h-node, and I found it:

https://h-node.org/wifi/view/en/266/Atheros-Communications-Inc-TP-Link-TL-WN821N-v3-1--Atheros-AR9002-/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/wifi-works/TL-WN821N

That page tells you the driver (kernel module) needed. Now you have to find out which package contains that module, and install it.

But, are you sure you don't have it already? I have an ubuntu box at home - desktop, no wireless interface - and it has that driver listed under /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath . Try loading the module with modprobe first. If it fails to find it, then search your repositories for the package that contains it.

For searching packages, you can use a package manager or your web browser - I'm pretty sure ubuntu has a web somewhere for searching packages.

i got a little issue with eclipse.(((no ide bashing please))).

i installed it from the mint software manager but it was an super super old version. deleted it, download from their website and installed it from there.

problem is: i made a desktop shortcut and i lunch it with the command home/olivier/eclipse/java-neon/eclipse/eclipse.

thing is, each time it opens it opens a terminal screen? if i close that screen eclipse is shutdown.

what do? :(

Never been in that situation, kek, but try setting a hostname, start new terminal and check if it fixed it.

sudo sh -c 'echo "benis" > /etc/hostname'

>>61010718
localhost is just an alias for 127.0.0.1

>>61010763
Oh and if you set your hostname, make sure that the content of /etc/hosts looks something like:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 benis

gnu icecat is a firefox fork with most tracking stuff removed and privacy addons added.
you can archive the same effect with vanilla firefox, tweaking your about:config and install the usual suspects: ublock, umatrix, https everywhere, etc.

Use the modprobe command to load a kernel module. You can also use the lsmod command to list modules that are currently loaded.

Read the modprobe manpage (manual page) in order to learn how to use it, by running "man modprobe". It is quite straightforward, though - you can just run "modprobe $MODULE_NAME" (must run it as root).

I expect it will either successfully load the module, complain that the module is already loaded, or fail to find the module (unlikely, you seem to have it installed). If it works, you should be able to see your network interface (with ifconfig, ip, iwconfig, or just the NetworkManager applet on your panel).

>>61011111

It's clearly mentioned in the guide that you should set the hostname.
