I suspect OP is Brazilian.

>>61133622
Not really no, but thank you on revealing the language on the newspaper is Brazilian, I was curious.

So on my current, outdated, setup for usb tethering I just put

allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet dhcp
    metric 30

In /etc/network/interfaces and then tell my phone to tether and thats it.
Is there an easy way to do it with systemd and the new predictable naming scheme? Because according to arch wiki you have to create a udev rules file and a service file for ... each specific usb port that you might use? Or do it manually each time.

Yes.
Although I doubt those programs are calling it directly I think it is from the \a escape seqeunce or the X alert thingy.

Is there some application for ubuntu which will allow me to make a snapshot of the current os state so if i destroy the system i will be able to easily restore it, the same way i can take a snapshot in virtual box?

>>61135385
you can use dd to clone the entire drive, for example to an external SSD

>>61135412
>dd
How would backing up and restoring work? Let's say i have made a back up onto another hdd and then ran apt dist-upgrade which completely broke my system which isn't even booting anymore, how would i go about restoring it to the precise state of the time when i ran the back up?

>>61134930
How deep down the rabbit hole are you? SSH port forwarding is all sorts of nice.

Immediately set up a SOCKS proxy to tunnel traffic through a remote host:

ssh -D $LOCALPORT $REMOTEHOST

Normal port forwarding: open local port, forward traffic through the SSH connection to host/port on the remote side - e.g., to talk to a remote hosts's HTTP port through your local port 8080:

ssh -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 $REMOTEHOST

Reverse port forwarding: open a port in a remote host that will forward traffic back through the SSH connection to any host/port on the local side - e.g., to expose your own HTTP server to a remote host's port 8080:

ssh -R 8080:127.0.0.1:80 $REMOTEHOST

I love that last one because it means that even if you're behind a restrictive NAT you can still expose your own ports to remote hosts, as long as they have their own SSH port open.

>>61135442
dd the entire drive to an external one
now you have a snapshot of a working system, files and all
if you fuck up your real system just plug the external drive and use dd to copy it all back
now your drive is in the exact same state as it was when you backed it up

any idea why this would happen out of nowhere even after specifically making sure to shut down instead of just flipping the PSU off? I've had no other problems so far in just over 2 months of daily use yet for some reason after shutting down, unplugging the drive's SATA, and plugging it back in and booting a few hours later like I've done at least a dozen times before it's now broken and I don't really know how to proceed. I wouldn't normally ask but I have no idea where to even start and currently an iphone 4 with a cracked screen is my only computer so troubleshooting will be hard.

>>61135759
>flipping PSU off, unplugging the drive's SATA
Why.
Chances are some write process on the drive wasn't finished and now it's corrupted. Here's what I'd do:
>boot into live system
>mount drive
>connect external drive
>salvage all data you want to keep
>unmount external drive and disconnect it
>unmount internal drive
>format internal drive
>reinstall OS
>get in the habit of shutting down properly

some quotes from gnome developers

>Facilitating the unrestricted use of extensions and themes by end users seems contrary to the central tenets of the GNOME 3 design. We’ve fought long and hard to give GNOME 3 a consistent visual appearance, to make it synonymous with a single user experience and to ensure that that experience is of a consistently high quality. A general purpose extensions and themes distribution system seems to threaten much of that.

>I’m particularly surprised by the inclusion of themes. It seems bizarre that we specifically designed the GNOME 3 control center not to include theme installation/selection and then to reintroduce that very same functionality via extensions.

>The point is that it decreases our brand presence. That particular user might understand what it is that they are running, but the person who sees them using their machine or even sees their screenshots on the web will not. The question we have to ask ourselves is: how do we make sure that people recognise a GNOME install when they see one?

>We’ve always argued that if it is anything, GNOME is a UX. There might be a case for letting people tweak things here and there, but I really think that every GNOME install should have the same core look and feel. Otherwise, what is it that we are doing in the first place?

Don't customise goy, use stock, paint the logo on your forehead, we brand whores now.

>>61136007
>UX
These people do not deserve to live.

Developer of Transmission was approached by gnome developers to remove the functionality of adding a notification icon in the status bar (staple for any desktop environment/window manager comibnation but removed in gnome)

He replies:
>So now we can have three builds of Transmission that decide at compile time whether to use AppIndicator, GtkStatusIcon, or nothing at all, over such a stupid feature?
>Removing it altogether, as you suggest, will hurt XFCE users.
>I wish GNOME, Canonical, and everyone else involved would settle on one consistent API for this and stop fucking the app developers over.
>In order for this ticket to move forward, I’d like you to tell me what change should be made to Transmission that will make it work properly, out of the box, on GNOME Shell, Unity, and XFCE.

To which gnome developers reply
>I guess you have to decide if you are a GNOME app, an Ubuntu app, or an XFCE app unfortunately. I’m sorry that this is the case but it wasn’t GNOME’s fault that Ubuntu has started this fork. And I have no idea what XFCE is or does sorry.

Your app is no longer "GTK app". It's Gnome, Ubuntu or XFCE app. Enjoy.

>>61136051
So just give the GNOME fucks the middle finger, let them whine all they want about your icon and leave it up to them to hide it from the user, if they care so much.

Honestly, I don't see what the problem is, here. Let them make GNOME a single """user experience""". If you like it, use it. If not, don't.
I do hate people who unironically talk about brand recognition, UX and the like though. Fucking leeches. "I'm an idea guy lol now give me money for copying Apple and talking out of my ass"

wtf i hate gnome now

>>61136007
If they ever disable the user themes I am switching to KDE.
Until then, I am fine with where they take GNOME. There's really no need to customize it too much but the themes are the best part. Default one isn't awful but I like Flat Plat much more and I want to be able to use it. I don't think this affects the GNOME experience in any way.

Under gentoo, the USE flags priority are make.defaults > make.conf > package.use > environement variable.
But there's like 30 make.defaults files defined by the profile, so how do I override that priority order to make a package use a specific flag?

Think of symbolic links as spacesavers. Instead of having two copies of exactly the same file in different directory with the potential trouble to keep them the same in case you need to modify one you just make one file and create a link to said file in a different directory.

Ive got some truck cameras from a company. For some reason they put something on the sd cards we get from them so I dont go buy my own sd cards and get theirs for a premium instead. So I made a copy of one of theirs with dd and it works.

I want to make a file out of a dd command from an sd card. Can I do that? And then just use that file to dd onto other sd cards at a later date. So I can just keep making copies when I get new cards. Any idea how to do this? Ive always avoided fucking around with dd cause of the damage it can do. Ive used to to copy failing drives and moving from one drive to a larger one using gparted after to expand the partition. Ive never done anything but drive to drive full copies though.

>>61138932

Im pretty sure I can just point it at a file but I want to hear from people have used it since dd can probably fuck everything up. Im pretty sure its a byte for byte copy and I imagine I can fuck up my file system I am copying it onto easily.

w - write permission = you can change the directory and what's inside (provided you have necessary permissions on the files)
x - execute permission = you can enter the directory and read/write/exec files inside if you know their names (even without search permission; only if you have the necessary permissions on the files inside)

You've probably read "everything is a file" while reading about GNU/Linux or other unix-like OSs. This is what people mean: for a program, like dd, writing to a normal file in your filesystem, or to a block device like /dev/sdb1, or to a special file like /dev/null, feels basically the same.

That other anon got you covered already. Minor note: you may want to avoid the .iso extension when the image does not contain an ISO filesystem - it won't cause any problems, it simply might cause you some confusion. You can use any extension, or none at all in fact.

And here's a tip that'll make dd a bit less scary: you don't need to use the raw device path like /dev/sdb1. Under /dev/disk you'll find symbolic links with much friendlier and less error-prone names. /dev/disk/by-label/ is great for labelled volumes, but my favorite is probably /dev/disk/by-id/: out of a filename that begins with ata- and one that begins with usb-, there's hardly any doubt as to which is your internal HDD and which your USB flash drive. These links point to the corresponding device files, so you can use them in your commands in their place.

everything about computers is shit, if you think otherwise you just don't know enough yet.
this is depressing.

shell scripting greybeards pls halp.

My goal is to crudely replicate the functionality of redshift (automatic, smooth dimming) with sct (tool for controlling temperature) a shell script and a cronjob.

All I an come up is case statement that compares the output of date for the minute of the hour and runs a a command that adjusts color temperature.
from 6500K to 3000K, 100K per change (it's smooth enough i checked) would give me a case statement with 35 arguments (one every minute). Looks a little bit too much no?

Is there any way to make it more efficient?

Holy shit, this is hell. I wrote a tiny script which compares two directories for changes (compares hashes) and then I manually copy with scp between them (using a wrapper script). I don't know how other people handle this or if I'm approaching this wrongly. I thought about having one of them act as a "server", but it's not really viable, because I still need the config files and I sometimes take the laptop with me, so it's not feasible.

Yes, but rsync can't sync in both directions.
That's the tricky part. Because files change on both computers, so it become a clusterfuck. I found a program which apparently deals with that, but even the author said it's not 100% safe, because they can't really know which version you want (just based on modification time).

So I'm using a plain textfile that has user pass values stored on an encrypted file system (eCryptfs).

I'm using a very 1337 script to access it while listening to Marilyn Manson.

Are there any benefits in switching to KeePassX besides portability? I would never want to unencrypt my passwords on an Android device.

I want to install Linux on my 120GB SSD for dual-booting with Windows (muh gaems), but it has only one partition and I don't want to lose all my settings ore use a VM.

Am I fucked?

>>61141871
>afaik grsecurity was gratis and open source?
chinks and kikes happened.
Grsecurity patches (stable) were available to the community free of charge, but aforementioned greedy ethnic minorities stepped forth, started introducing said patches into devices they were selling (some embedded stuff) and slapping "grecurity approved!!!" on the boxes.

So grsecurity devs went bonkers and since then stable patches are only available to paying customers and community was left with testing branch. They're extremely defensive about it, always shitting on other people because "le work for free" and such. It was on part their fault because they didn't trademark the grsecurity brand

It's sad because for your average user who just want a hardened installation grsecurity is superior to apparmor and selinux simply because it's a lot easier to master and use.

i3 or awesome? Which one works best for multi monitor setups?

>>61142743
>multi monitor setups?
As far as I remember i3 was kind of made with multi monitor setup in mind.
But I won't shill either because I used only i3.

>>61142743

>>61142758

Well okay, apperently just got to try then.

I have been using ubuntu with unity launcher for a month and I really like lunix so far but I am wondering since unity is going to get discontinued should I switch to gnome

>>61142953
One thing to consider, i3 is definitely the easier one to set up. Config files is plaintext, while awesome (as an extended fork of dwm) requires some C knowledge and some Lua knowledge

>>61141659

It would not be false to the facts, but it is not the best thing to do. Here are the reasons we call that system version “GNU/Linux” rather than just “GNU”:

· It's not exactly GNU—it has a different kernel (that is, Linux). Distinguishing GNU/Linux from GNU is useful.

· It would be ungentlemanly to ask people to stop giving any credit to Linus Torvalds. He did write an important component of the system. We want to get credit for launching and sustaining the system's development, but this doesn't mean we should treat Linus the same way those who call the system “Linux” treat us. We strongly disagree with his political views, but we deal with that disagreement honorably and openly, rather than by trying to cut him out of the credit for his contribution to the system.

· Since many people know of the system as “Linux”, if we say “GNU” they may simply not recognize we're talking about the same system. If we say “GNU/Linux”, they can make a connection to what they have heard about.

Well it pretty clearly say it depends on having a package called python between versions 2.7.5-5 and 2.8. If you donut use checkinstall or whatever then the package system doesn't know anything about you custom installed shit. You can either fix that or install everything via pip.

>>61147001
>using downstream distro
Thats your first problem
Follow the arch wiki

>>61147039
Arch is for advanced users only.

>>61146914
Use aptitude.

>>61146152
what is wrong with you

>>61147082
Nothing,there is no value in using DOWNSTREAM distros.They are always lacking as the people who created it couldn't use the distro they copied from and 99% the devs are incompetent and cant actually in to a distro them selves so they just wait and blindly pass updates from their copied distro

>>61147029
well for debian/antergos i used the gui

for arch i followed the guide exactly. if i boot into live i can see that one of my partitions is bootable and grub is installed to it

>>61147095
Did you edit your fstab to put the proper mount points?

>>61147091
nice memes, but any actual reasoning please?
"downstream" distros exist for a reason, for ex. arch aims for people who want to build their own system(d), manjaro exists for people who dont want to build their system, but still enjoy pacman. there is literally nothing wrong with making something usable for a different target group

Incompetent admin team

>>61147102
yeah for arch i did

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

i assume the gui installers edited my fstab

Full incompetency

>>61147147
And you never bothered to check it your self?

>>61147158
the forum is not the distro, retard

>>61147182
It is still the administrations fault

>>61147167
>>61147158
>>61147142
Yeah, I mean, I could start collecting scrots of Arch, Debian or Gentoo failures too, but what's the point?

>>61147201
Such as?
When did the arch team lax 3 times IN A ROW on the ssl cert?
Who is to say they arent this lax with their security other places?


Manjingo.
NOT EVEN ONCE

>>61147210
Are you retarded, the SSL cert deliverer (who didn't) caused these problems, not Manjaro people.

>>61147235
The Manjaro Administration Team failed to renew the certs,as you can team from their own writing in the images i uploaded.

may I remind you at, uhm, breaking python backwards compatibility, breaking X, breaking fonts, and the fact that arch didn't sign packages for years

>>61147256
>python
Why was python 3 created by the python developers then?
Arch is a ROLLING RELEASE distro, it has the latest updated packages,such as python 3
>breaking X
The user is responsible for their configs.Now if you mean when Xorg 1.8.1 came out in the TESTING REPO and broke due to other package not being updated ok,but that is what the TESTING repo is used for.
>breaking fonts
Again, this is a user fontconfig settings issue
>signing
OH NO. Who the fuck cares,you can md5 them with the ones hosted on the offiical packages server(xyne even made a program to do exactly this years ago)

>>61147248
No they didn't.

>>61147294
What an arrogant response, way to run a distro. Damn in glad I'm not using that shit.

What benefit would I get by moving from Ubuntu to Arch?

>>61147513
A package manager that doesn't suck ass.
Bragging rights.

>>61147181
i guess not

i tried ubuntu in uefi and it worked. gonna try arch or something now

So i've installed Parabola with OpenRC, but screenfetch shows me that it's Arch, wat do

>>61147036
>>61147066
Fuck it, I just uninstalled the source-installed python and added the deadsnakes repository and I can apt-get install it all like normal.

>>61147294
>The user is responsible for their configs
Gentoo doesn't have this problem.
Portage warns you when a config file is changed in an update and provides a tool to examine and resolve config changes. And after all, you shouldn't have to check 3-4 different mailing lists every time you want to do a routine system update just to ensure your system doesn't suddenly break afterward.

>>61147802
edit /etc/os-release to say "I've been memed Linux".

>>61145389
dont do this via bunsenlab. do netinstall, apt install xorg openbox

rice to taste

>>61138194
Install Chrome and in settings, add a rule to always allow flash for Crunchyroll.

What would be the best fs to use for an external drive I'll be keeping my music on? Instinctively, I'd go with ext4, but is that really the best option?

>>61148010
pacman warns you aswell,and makes the new config extension '.pacnew' so you can diff the configs and find out what you need to do
>mailing list
I have never once looked at any mailing list, arch or otherwise.

lol, really showing your power level there!
