/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

Ait boys, I posted this on the other thread, but I might as well throw it on the new one, too.

I guess I've come to the point where I have to learn how to use linux. I have Ubuntu dual-booted, and I've learned how to do really basic stuff like install programs and mess with files.

I'm still totally in the dark when it comes to using the OS with doing anything programming-related.

what do?

>>61113864
This was meant for you: >>61113864
If you're really serious about learning, then you have to either use GNU/Linux as your main OS, or remove Windows completely.

>>61113864
how the hell can a cs major not know how to use linux?

Just installed my first tar.bz2 program (FF Nightly) and it doesn't show up in my application list in gnome. It's also telling me it won't auto-update, which i'm assuming is a permission thing. Was it a mistake to unpack it into /opt?

>>61113945
I allready use on of those. I mean real freedom. Free hardware free firmware.

That's fine, just use Windows as one would use a game console. Only boot into it if you want to play a game. Don't even bother installing a web browser in it or anything.

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/

Is there a pdf-editing application that auto-calculate works correctly on? I'm using evince, and I don't know how to get it to work, if it should work.

I have a TTRPG character sheet, where when I input the stats, it should auto-fill in all of the appropriate forms related to what I put in, e.g. str 10 means str mod of 0, +0 to all str based skills, etc.

The sheet can be printed out if you like, and pdfs have more stable form and formating than a spreadsheet. It might look pretty on Microsoft Office 2017 but like shit on LibreOffice.

>>61113957
Yes, try to log in as root and run it or use sudo. If it works that way you know it's a permissions issue.

Hello, I am having a minor issue with Debian 9. It isn't really that big of a problem but I would rather deal with it now so it doesn't potentially turn into something more severe. A little backstory, I decided to use the Debian 8.8 install and then upgrade to testing because the latest installer was giving me problems. So anyway, when I run

sudo apt-get upgrade

I get the following output

https://pastebin.com/bWJVLC5Z

This is after upgraded from stable to testing using dist-upgrade. This output is a little worrisome because I am fairly confident that I do in fact use some of those packages, but I could be wrong. If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very appreciative.

I downloaded a video using youtube-dl but when he watched it on Windows it hadn't sound. How do I convert it to mp4 using ffmpeg with sound for Windows?

>>61114977

Not an expert.

I think that deb 8.8 probably has packages that have limits placed on them. The furthest you can get is like a v.45 while on 9.0 you can reach v.62. Those old packages would be replaced with new ones. I think it's safe to auto-remove.

Just be sure that you did
>$ sudo apt update

before you do all of that, to make sure that there are new packages to install to replace the old ones that are going to get removed.

>>61114977
Eh I wouldn't be that worried by it. Just mark any you use as manually installed. Looks like some things just changed dependancies and some stuff got deprecated.

Is there a way to switch to a window with just the mouse in CWM or do I really have to press Alt every time.

>>61115028
I randomly chose xscreensaver, which is marked to be autoremoved and noticed that the most current version is the version currently installed. I actually use xscreensaver so I don't know why it is apparently "no longer required."

>>61115139

With this paste-bin, it doesn't actually show what version you are using that would be auto-removed. It could be that when you checked the version of it, it was the one that was installed and will stay.

You could try to use synaptic to see what version those packages are (maybe).

Worst case scenario, make a list of the packages that are getting auto-removed, and if there is no current version installed, then reinstall it. Auto-remove, in my experience, has always been a safe process.

>>61115139
Probably because it was installed as a dependancy of a metapackage that no longer depends on it. "no longer required" just means it was installed automatically (as a dependancy) and is no longer depended on by anything that was installed manually (ie that was actually passed to apt install).

To mark it manually just use `apt install xscreensaver` or `apt-mark manual xscreensaver`.

>>61114989
what format did you use? probably just downloaded the video w/o sound

>>61115206
>it could be that when you checked the version of it, it was the one that was installed and will stay.
Apt doesn't call upgrades removals though.

>>61115214
mkv. I tested before and it was working fine.

I was >>61100843 from the last thread. Used testdisk as suggested by an anon and it actually shows the drive (hooray!). I chose [Intel] as the partition table type when prompted (not sure if that's right) and when I analyze the drive, no partitions are shown and I get "Read error at x/1/1" where 'x' is every cylinder analyzed so far.
Do I need to let it analyze the entire drive?

I need a distro with the following features, ordered by importance:
1. Opts out of GTK3.
2. GTK2 fork of Firefox.
3. Opts out of systemd
4. Pure GTK2 XFCE
5. Debian-based.

Could you please tell me if a project like this exists?

Any idea why this doesn't work?

function scpbeam {
        scp "-i /path/to/key" "$1" "$2"
}

Results:

$ scpbeam user@host:test ~/
ssh: Could not resolve hostname host:test: No address associated with hostname

The host information is correct, I can do it the normal successfully.

$ scp -1 /path/to/key scpbeam user@host:test ~/
test        100%     12       0.7KB/s    00:00

Fuck you, your little bitch OS has no games or software. Fucking faggots are fucking cancer.

Thoughts on bunsenlabs?

>>61115981
Try having "-i" and "/path/to/key" as two seperate arguments.

>>61115324
Still no luck but I decided to re-run it as root and it's analyzing the cylinders at an incredibly faster speed. Previously it was doing about 1 cylinder per second but now it's just under 100 cylinders per second. Just though it was strange since the documentation specifically states that it doesn't need to be run as root. Just gonna let it run for a while and see if anything turns up. If anyone can offer any other advice, that'd be great though.

>>61115935
Can't you just install debian and configure it that way? I have got systemd banned in apt preferences, you should be able to do the same for gtk3

$cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: systemd
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: systemd-sysv
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1

/g/uys. I'm thinking of doing something stupid and need your input on how (un)feasible it is.

Instead of making an freenas+intel based nas, I wanna do a ryzen+ubuntu w/zfs nas because $/perf and preference of linux over bsd.

Thoughts?

>>61115981
lrn2sshconfig so then you can just do

>>61115324
>>61116070
Lol. Ended up increasing to a little more than 10,000 cylinders per second. It finished and found no partitions. So ya. Still no access to the data. If someone has any ideas please let me know.

>>61116080
I want to know if there is a distro specially made to opt out of GTK3. There are many applications that depend on it in current Debian so I need a distro that mantains the GTK2 versions. I'm specially interested in a fork of Firefox that uses GTK2. I'm aware there is one for Arch but it would be better if I can avoid to install Arch.

>>61116052
Same result.
>>61116095
Probably a better idea. I'll look into that instead. Thanks both of you.

>>61116180
yeah do it, much better than juggling with what identity files every time. makes messing with all the different machines you might have much easier.

>>61116094
OpenMediaVault (debian based) appears to have a zfs plugin http://omv-extras.org/joomla/index.php/omv-plugins-3/3-stable
So maybe just use that? I dunno.

>>61116121
If it is stopping you booting could you put it in an externel enclosure, boot to some live disk and then plug it in and play with it?

Also, wtf is an intel partition table? The only ones I know of are msdos, gpt and some shitty old mac one.

I'm thinking about switching from Windows 10 to KDE Neon. I'm a little nervous to do it since I don't want to try to install it and then have a ton of issues and then get discouraged and revert back to Windows 10.

I have had issues trying to boot into Linux before with my GTX 980 trying to get drivers to work long enough to get in and install them manually. Multi-monitor layouts seemed to not work very well under GNOME and Unity in the past either.

Is it worth it to use Wayland on KDE? I don't have any problems on my T430 and HD4000 but I hear that there are issues with Wayland and Nvidia.

How likely do you think it is that I will have similar issues again? I want to be on Linux on my desktop but I don't want to Dualboot either.

>>61116275
It's already external. Using a sata to usb cable with power. Tested it on other drives and it works fine so its not the cable.
And FYI, it's able to analyze all of the cylinders without any freezing or hiccups. It finishes but just doesn't find anything, even after a deep search. Not sure about the "Intel" partition. It was pre-selected by the program and based on other tutorials it seems to be the right option.

>>61116317
Use the good old Xorg until you feel like trying the less mature Wayland.

There is no likelihood of issues in general but if you have some you just fix them.

>>61116094
Why ZFS? Other than that, go ahead.

>>61116436
is KDE Neon worth it? I hear it's basically Ubuntu 16.04 with updated KDE Plasma packages and less ootb software unlike Kubuntu

Apparently if your drive is locked at the hardware level you can't even write to it. You could test it by trying to use dd to write to some random block (and hopefully not make the situation worse).

>>61113830
Why does Debian 9 still not come with 1920x1080 as a mode in xrandr by default? I cannot get xrandr to do anything I say.

>>61116317
XFCE is old as fuck and easier to manage in my opinion than KDE.

I have an external drive that's formatted in NTFS. If I use Linux as my primary/only operating system. Am I OK with reading and writing to the drive and using it like normal with it being NTFS even if my Linux install file system is something different such as ext4?

Yo guys I got another drive to put xubuntu on cause I was so fucking tired of windows bullshit.

Problem is I cant fucking install anything. Ive never had this problem before. I didnt download the 3rd party shit cause I didnt want java or flash and I think that compiled download may be fucking it up?

Inside a tiling window manager, X will make terminal conform to absolute tiled sections of the screen.

I recommend spectrwm, but use i3 if you're a brainlet.

Why won't you dual boot?
Set aside 10g for your KDE distro and try it out.

If everything is great and 10g isn't enough you can just take more space.

Most likely a GTK3 issue.

They changed their theme engine at some point and completely broke all older themes. If this is the case for that theme then you're lucky you can even read anything.
Usually themes come with both GTK2 and GTK3 themes, so if that theme was working for you before and isn't now then you may have either been using the same applications compiled with GTK2, or an older version.

Not him, but I was asking earlier about replacing the GtkFilePicker because it doesn't show thumbnails. Nautilus uses KDialog, which does show thumbnails when a program opens the file picker. This has been so commonly complained about that it is literally a meme at this point.

And that's a GTK3 issue? I don't even know which lag you're talking about, most likely some placebo effect. Prove that there is a "lag" and then prove that it's coming from GTK3 and not some other library that the other program is using.

>Rignt now I see no buttons in my scrollbars. But you'll probably say "it's a featue, not a bug".
There are buttons in my GTK3 scrollbars, idiot. It's not a bug, it's a feature of the theme you're using.

I think KDE is better than gnome currently, but that might change once Ubuntu drops support for Unity and switches over to gnome. If gnome gets a lot more polish from developers after that, and they release a newer version of it or something that has things like a better file picker, then it could come out on top.
Honestly I kinda fucked up by installing gnome when I installed Debian 9, but I didn't realize the file picker meme was real until it was too late and I got settled in. I really don't want to spend another week fucking with my system to get it to where it is now by starting with a fresh KDE install, but I also don't really want to bloat my system by installing KDE on top of gnome and then apt-get removing gnome, since it will still leave behind a lot of redundant crap I can't be bothered to keep track of. I'll just stick it out with inferior gnome and hope Ubuntu saves us all.

I don't think Canonical will have that much influence over the development of GNOME, unfortunately, aside from maybe introducing more extensions.

systemd manages all your shit under one umbrella, so if it crashes then your whole system crashes. This has led super autistic neckbeards to hate it for the sake of new totally unwarranted and unjustified memes. Now it has become a meme to hate systemd, and since you're posting on 4chan, you better fucking hate it or else you get ostracized real quick.

I'm already employed as an assistant/junior admin but salary is shit, company cut additional training and there isn't much going on lately to learn from new projects. I'm kinda on the fence switching from BAU to lab. I don't want to end up in another dead-end job.

>>61120478
>There's no GNU in that.
That implies that you need a specific amount of GNU in order to have GNU/Linux, but it's the other way around: You need to have a specific amount of kernel to have GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD, etc. Following your logic, I'm indeed running Android GNU/Linux, since I've installed coreutils. Let's not follow this logic.

>>61120567
>Following your logic, I'm indeed running Android GNU/Linux, since I've installed coreutils.
not really, because when you modify on your operating system, it's already a custom operating system, not vanilla android

>>61120387
You can read about it in the without-systemd.org wiki. It's mostly a collection of resources rather than a single, coherent writeup, but among the links you should be able to find some arguments that speak to you.

What would be a good solution for remote controlling mpd from mm phone. Anyone tried something like this?

>>61120567
Android does not descend from GNU. It is a fully new user space built on top of linux. GNU isn't any OS that you install some GNU software in, it's any OS that directly descends from the GNU OS. You're falling for the "software with most lines of code gets to name the OS" flawed argument: GNU/Linux isn't called that becase of the % of lines of code of each, but because it is the result of adding Linux to the GNU OS.

I'm thinking PCmanFM. Any recommendations?

>>61120648
Just ssh

>>61120656
urxvt

>>61120656
It's either pcmanfm or thunar.
PCmanFM in general is a lot nicer, has more features (like dual panel view), handles icons better (icon support for network devices been broken in thunar for the last 8 years or so) aaand pcmanfm has painless integration with archive manager that aren't file-roller. So if you want to keep your desktop consistent and use GTK2 you can install atril from mate and enjoy that.

Thunar does one thing better. The file transfer dialog shows you the transfer speed.
in PCmanFM you only get a progress bar and a shitty estimated time left which is rarely accurate.

>>61120669
I see so PCmanFM still has issues huh. Well the progress bar thing isn't an issue as long as it works.

I'm just looking for something stable and has a decent amount of features and I remember getting PCmanFM getting working pretty well before.

>>61120694
pcmanfm is stable.
Just don't get surprised when pcmanfm closes the window (like a crash) when you unmount an external storage device while browsing said external storage device. Initially I thought it was broken, but it just closes the folder that no longer exist, and if it's the only tab you have, it closes the program itself

Welcome to /g/. Technology topics include circlejerking about which software is better and why the other guy must be retarded for using inferior software. Shitting on others choice of software is highly informative because people search for any little flaw or benefit a piece of software could have, which helps us to find the very best software and how to improve our own projects.

install a privacy oriented custom ROM, Replicant or similar.

Keep in mind that some phones has a proprietary GSM firmware that has full access to everything and you cannot do anything against it.

>>61121578
lastest commit is 15 hours ago

>>61121560
You can't.
A phone by definition is a tracking device because it's functioning relies on being connected to a radio mast.
Just by having access to the basic metadata about gsm connectivity you can pinpoint the location of a phone.

I'd go AMD once the amdgpu drivers supports it well. AMD actually give a fug about libre drivers, I heard they even employ programmers to work on them.

make -j1 new_thread

>>61121702
yeah, but the problem is that the cheap passive AMD cards being sold now are not even GCN1

so some legacy ATI drivers will be used for that
which does not feel very reassuring

>so some legacy ATI drivers will be used for that

the libre radeon driver is quite mature bro. It got some serious improvements in the recent years.

>>61121032
>>61121668
You know, I want to tell you to get the fuck out for having friends, but the truth is that if only people with no one to talk to use freedom and privacy-respecting tools their future is rather bleak. So, by all means, don't let me stop you from killing yourselves as you ought to, but until you do, keep fighting the good fight.

>>61121719

I only have one friend, and I don't talk to him that much.

>>61121750
yes, RADEON driver
but as I said not even GCN1
what they sell as their low tier is chip rebranded few times and actually it was released in 2011
so while new amd drivers for lets say rx570 might be great, I dont have such confidence in drivers for r5 230

/g/uys, I'm using mu4e and org-mode and things have been great, but now that I'm required to send mail with quite a bit of HTML I'm running into problems.

org-mime is installed but support for mu4e appears to be deprecated. Most guides I have found seem to be outdated as wl. Any recommendations as far as getting mu4e and Org working better together goes? Should I just switch to Gnus at this point? It isn't like mu4e was very fun to set up anyway.
