I installed Debian Stretch with Xfce and Firefox does this. Those ass-ugly icons would be the "High Contrast" icon theme. Thing is, if I go to Xfce's little appearance widget and change the icon theme, these don't change. I even tried removing /usr/share/icons/HighContrast, then rebooting. (Yes, I know you're not really supposed to do that kind of thing) Nope, doesn't change.

I'm perfectly okay with the default "Tango" icons, I just can't get Firefox to use them like every other application does. Can one of the ricing crowd point me in the right direction here?

I'm trying to get https://github.com/hamuko/cum
>Please note that cum currently requires Python 3.3 or newer.

But it fails and when I check I see I apparently have python 3.5. I also try upgrading pip because pic related seems to suggest that it's a) using python 2.7 and b) the website says there's a newer version. I get pic related since it seems to thin it's up to date as per my repositories (?). I checked my package manager and I see that there's a pip specifically for python 3 that's not installed.

Before I install that I wanted to ask if my system, assuming they are both installed as well as the relevant version of python, will automatically choose which to use based on what I enter. In this specific case will having both "python-pip" and "python3-pip" installed mean that when I type pip install cum (which depends on python 3) my computer will simply use the correct python3-pip without any further input needed from me?

>>61165208
Just use emacs -nw

Oh god, what did i do?
Please help me.
I had a NTFS partition on my disk where i had ubuntu and used that partition to store data. But i wanted to make it nice and properly linuxy, so i went to the disk utility in ubuntu and deleted that nfs partition after unmounting it with "sudo umount -l ~/Storage" (that was where it was mounted by fstab), after removing it i clicked format partition s ext4, but it gave me some error, so i rebooted so to check if it will work then.. after reboot it said something like checking disk sectors or something and then it failed to boot and i ended up with a terminal, and shit like startx isn't working.
What the fuck? All i did was remove one ntfs partition.

>>61167912
>NTFS
Stop reading there. Slaves are slaves and they shouldn't post of the free, fglt, thread.

>>61167722
Usually, testdisk should be able to find your partition and write the correct partition table again or let you image it somewhere else. With an encrypted disk, I'm not so sure. My current version's manpage does not mention being able to detect LUKS volumes. Go check their latest documentation, and give it a try.

>>61167960

once you told me the magic word to google for it took me under five minutes to find some CSS to stick in a config file to turn them off. Thanks, I'd been banging my head on this (and some other theming problems, all with Firefox) for about three hours.

>>61167912
>it gave me some error
>some error
You know, that was the important information. Errors aren't just autistic screeching.

Anyway, you've probably been dropped into a recovery shell so you can fix your system. Of course shit like startx won't work, you're not supposed to use the system as if nothing were wrong.

Here's an idea on what may be wrong: you said the ntfs volume had an fstab entry, and you deleted that partition and rebooted without editing fstab. Don't you think fstab is probably quite flustered about this partition that it's supposed to mount on ~/Storage but which doesn't exist aymore? Unless you had it set not to mount automatically, this is your #1 suspect.

Can vim function as a text editor for, you know, text? Like as a replacement for Word for writing papers? What plugins would I need?

Possible to install package with dependencies from new Ubuntu on old Ubuntu without fucking everything up? How?

So if i install linux normally i usually just create a 4gb swap partition and rest of the hdd is ext4 for the / partition.
But i would like to try out the LVM stuff, i just don't understand what partitions to create in the partition manager..? I don't want to use the automatic tool because i would like to know how to do it by hand.

I can't seem to mount my usb. It's visible when I use the *ls /dev/ | grep sd* command but when I try *mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt* it returns *mount: mount point /mnt does not exist*, so how do I create a mount point? I didn't have this problem before I could just insert the usb and it would instantly pop up on my desktop, bet when I update/upgraded it doesn't show up anymore. How can I revert it back to showing up on the screen after insertion?

>>61168367
Word is not a text editor and what you want to produce is in fact not text.

I know nothing of vim and its plugins, but if you fail to find any plugins to produce rich text output, it might be because all vim wizards that wish to do so are using LaTeX instead - that sounds like something they'd do.

>>61168518
how do I create a mount point
in this case `sudo mkdir /mnt`. A mountpoint is just a directory that a dev gets mounted over. It is weird that you don't have /mnt already though. Sounds like something is screwed.
As to how to get things to automount, making /mnt might fix it otherwise you should search the web for how to automount removable devices with systemd or whatver OS/DE you have.

>>61168367
> Can vim function as a text editor
That's what it is
>as a replacement for Word
For editing .docx files? no. It mostly handles text based formats, like latex or markdown.

Is Gentoo actually worth trying?
How heavy/bloat ridden is it compared to debian?

>>61168464
I've never mixed repos in ubuntu but I suppose it's not much different from debian.

In order to grab some packages from a newer release without upgrading your whole system to it, you need to set the Default-Release apt option to your current release. I usually do this by creating a new file under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ - for the syntax, better do a search on that than trust me to produce a valid sample for ubuntu. If you use synaptic, do mind that it does not obey that option and you must also set your preferred release under preferences -> distribution.

If the particular package you want to install has lots of dependencies on newer versions of other packages, however, it may end up dragging along most of the new release with it. Nothing you can do about this, provided they are hard dependencies and not recmmended/suggested packages.

>>61168518
>when I update/upgraded
As in a kernel update? Have you rebooted since?

Ok its been an hour and a half and gnome disk is still setting up the new ext4 luks encrypted drive. I know it said "slow" when it asked to write over data with 0's but this is a bit crazy. how long should this take?

>>61168707
Well, how fast can you write zeroes to disk? I ran a q&d test writing to a file and I got below 90MiB/s with luck. In this time I wouldn't have written 500GB yet.

I think you got the impression it would only overwrite existing files, but it has no way to know where those are (more accurately, there are none since your partition table was borked), it's zeroing the whole disk or partition.

>>61169049
thats fine then and actually makes sense, i think my write speed is about that. Ill just wait longer. I think they should include a status bar or something to say how much is done

>>61168560
You could edit .docx files with vim if you really, really wante to. No one does that, though.

What composition manager to use with AwesomeWM? Or can I have true transparency (not just copypasting the background image in windows) without a composition manager?

I've been using xcompmgr and didn't have any problems except when switching between workspaces I can see underlying windows for a fraction of second. I tried compton but can't get rid of those fading effects and cairo has all the shitty effects I don't need and doesn't seem stable. There's also unagi but it's in "early development" and the wiki doesn't even tell where config files are. They all seem archaic and unmaintained though.

Compton's fade effect could be nice for opening/closing windows but I definitely don't want to see it when switching windows and workspaces.

>>61169087
If you lament the lack of a progress bar and verbose output of a GUI tool, on /g/, while pv and

dd status=progress

exist, you'll just get told to stop using the GUI tool. It's a valid point, since those are really great tools for this kind of task, but I'm also a fan of gnome-disks myself so I won't give you any of that.

debian one is inconspicious enough for normies to not think much about it

I've been using xubuntu as a daily driver for about a year now, and I really like it - I'm not really a power user or anything, mainly use it for web stuff and word processing, multimedia etc so don't tend to get involved in the terminal or the depths of linux. However, I want to try a tiling WM to see if I prefer it to XFCE. I'm looking at i3 or i3gaps, as they seem to be a good intro to tiling managers and there is lots of support. However, I've also seen sway, which is a replacement for i3 but for wayland as opposed to X.org afaik. Would I notice a difference between the two, and what advantages does wayland have - I understand that it's meant to be the sort of replacement after X.org, but have no idea how many people use it, or if it's still relatively new?

>>61169245
>normies
who the fuck cares?

If you actually went to the debian page youd find the sellers that sell it, do some reasearch. black is the worst choice for a hat too, since its gonna get hotter

So what are the git verisons of programs? Experimental ones?

>>61169131
I just tested by killing compton and my transparency went away so I think you need a compositer. Although the background wasn't shown through, just other windows.

You can set client.opacity in rc.lua so eg non focused windows have some transparency. I have some hacked up thin to do it but presumably there are libs to do it these days.

>>61169286
Really depends on the context but yeah. Ideally the devs make releases and then those releases are packaged for distros. The git versions are usually just grabbed from git (and hopefully checked that they even build) either between realeases, or because they project doesn't offer realeases or because the project only merges to master when it is stable.

>>61169351

Because your disk works but the panic was because "unknown block" I assume your grub menu is broke. Dunno how that happened but I would try chrooting in and updateing grub, like above. The reason you chroot in, rather than just updating from the live disk, is because grub might get confused and point to the live disk as the primary install.

- always quote variables
- input=$* You mostly never want that. Try "$@"
- $(eval "$get") no,no,no, assign it directly when defining the get= variable
- nice idea

What if i placed my swap partition on a usb stick which i wont remove? Good idea or bad ide?

>>61171373
Yeah I was trying to use ${get} or $($get) but it never did the work.

Also, I commented out the part in the get variable where it outputs it to a file, because it wasn't working right.

Is there a way to actually do that without using

$(eval "$get" > image_$pid.files)

at the end?

Thanks for the tips. I'll update them in a bit. I also have a 4chan downloader in that account too, if you wanna check.

>tfw see someone use sudo after he sudo -i s himself

>>61171489
I had it like that before, but my if statement wasn't working right and I had to resort to using eval.

Also like, for some reason, using is like this

    get="curl -s 'https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=dapi&s=post&tags=$tags&q=index&pid=$pid' \
        | grep -ioE 'file_url=\"\/\/assets\.gelbooru\.com\/images\/.{1,3}\/.{1,3}\/.{32}\.(jpg|png|jpeg|webm|gif)' \
        | cut -c11-\
        | sed -e 's/^/https:/'"
        > image_$pid.files"

Doesn't work right, the image_0.files file has nothing in it when I use the if statement to detect stuff. Then I had to comment it out and use another call which I think is inefficient because it curls twice.

I'll look into tee, I've seen it before but never used it. It might work out.

Though, I'm not trying to stdout the contents of the file at all. I just want to save it so wget can use it later on.

Oh wait, maybe I can use it to test for the if statement? If tee does not return anything, it fails?

Let me test some stuff.

What I recommend is that you edit sysctl.conf and enable all sysreqs. Put

in /etc/sysctl.conf or a new file under /etc/sysctl.d/ (takes effect after a reboot, for immediate but non-persistent effect use the sysctl command).

>>61171946
A hacker is someone who enjoys playful cleverness—not necessarily with computers. The programmers in the old MIT free software community of the 60s and 70s referred to themselves as hackers. Around 1980, journalists who discovered the hacker community mistakenly took the term to mean “security breaker.”

Please don't spread this mistake. People who break security are “crackers.”

Why does one need special kernel patches to have security? Why don't kernel developers fix security flaws instead?

>>61172035
Unfortunately, in contrast to Microsoft's post-Windows XP Trustworthy Computing initiative which drastically changed its security trajectory, the Linux community at large has failed to invest adequately in security over the past two decades. Partially due to this, there is no direct alternative to grsecurity or even any option that provides a substantial fraction of grsecurity's features or overall benefits.

This feature matrix https://grsecurity.net/compare.php shows the differences between existing Linux kernel security technologies.

They're right.
If there was a worthy competition to grsecurity, grsecurity locking itself from anyone but commercial subscribers wouldn't be such a huge deal. There isn't.
Everyone including multibillion dollar corporations (most notably Google) expected them to do all the heavy lifting for themselves so they can just snap the ready products and push it everywhere else without paying a dime.

I can understand a basement dweller not being able to pay for grsecurity. There's no excuse for Intel and Google. If they can spend billioons on teaching starving niggers in Africa how to program, they can afford to pay for a 4 megabyte patch.

Not him but even if Alpine Linux paid for grsecurity they wouldn't be able to distribute it because grsecurity team allegedly "bullies" commercial subscribers into not sharing the source code under the threat of ending the subscription. So they would pay, release one version of the hardened of the kernel and the story would end

>>61173205
The main use case nowadays is full-disk encryption. A separate /boot lets you have the bootloader and kernel image unencrypted, so that the BIOS has something to pass control to. They're smart enough to do crypto and ask you for a password to unlock the root filesystem. If you like, you can put /boot on a USB drive (its only written to during kernel updates and the like) and keep the main drive completely encrypted. Removing the flash drive makes the system unbootable.

In the old days people used a separate /boot because some BIOSes and bootloaders didn't play nice with large drives. They couldn't see the whole drive, but could see a 200-MB chunk at the start of the drive just fine. Then once the kernel was loaded it could figure out how to talk to the whole disk. This hasn't really been a concern since the late 90s though.

>>61174193

>>61174237
The bootloader goes into the first megabyte of the disk, before any partitions. (ever made a partition in gparted and it tells you it starts at 1MB instead of 0? that's why) All of GRUB doesn't necessarily fit in that, depending on what plugins you have, but it's more than enough to have the basic bootloader and enough smarts to read other partitions, find kernels on them, show a menu, and then pass control off. Those kernels (along with some initramfs stuff) live in the /boot partition that GRUB finds. If you have an unencrypted system with no separate /boot GRUB will find the / partition and happily use that. If you do have a separate /boot GRUB will say "Eh, there's a kernel in it, good enough for me" and let it handle mounting other filesystems.
