>>61315237
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.

Not for certain, it is just one piece of evidence. If you are not already familiar with the intricacies of installing linux distros I imagine it can be confusing.

Really not getting on well with bash.

upower -i $(upower -e | grep BAT) | grep percentage | grep -Po '\d*'

works fine in the command line and prints the battery percentage.

But when it comes to using it in a script, nothing seems to work. I can't echo it or use it in a comparison. I've tried placing it in $(), "$()" but it still doesn't return anything.

Is there something I'm not getting?

has anyone here used unshield before?
im trying to use it on a file and im using

but that tells me Unknown action '/' on command line.
im basing it off what ive been told to do with it

unshield -d extracted/ x data2.cab

>>61318075
The lone 'x' in the example you followed is telling unshield what action to take, eXtract. You replaced that with a path for some reason. It should be

unshield -d muh/output/folder x muh/input/file.cab

Replace paths as appropriate and put double qoutes around paths with spaces in.

i need to change the "owner" of a lot of files and folders. I can do it slowly with sudo nemo but thats only one folder or file at a time. Is there a faster way?

sudo chown -R thenewusername thefiles
You should probably skim over the man page for chown too.

>>61319262
hard to say HOW slower, but it will be NOTICEABLY slower because of slower random reads/writes and same-disk read-write operations. You can speed it up by putting some caches in tmpfs or forcing high level of disk caching but at the end it will be still slower than a hard disk or SSD.

If you're using mpv, you could use "for_window [class="mpv"] floating enable" in your config file to automatically float all mpv windows. Replace mpv with the name of your media player according to xprop if you're using something else.

>>61320584
I rebooted, and it's working now.

>>61319689
You should setup ssh keys like anon said, and you can also use this:

rsync -r [email protected]:~/folder{A,B}  .

>>61320059
It's shell prompt, you don't actually type it or anything before it.

>>61320657
Or just:

Cmnd_Alias NO_PASSWORD_FOR_SCRIPT = PASSWD: ALL, NOPASSWD: /path/to/script

anon ALL = NO_PASSWORD_FOR_SCRIPT

How usable is Linux without DE?

>>61321070

you mean with only a window manager? pretty usable, but expect to lose a LOT of convenience you never realised went into a DE, but you can get most of it back

I just installed Arch on my laptop and plan to mainly use it for learning bash, C and maybe Python and use VIM for those activities. I assume desktop environemt is completely unnecessary?

>>61321246
A DE is unnecessary, but I'd still recommend a window manager like i3. Standalone WM's are so light there's almost no reason not to have one installed.

How does the Ubuntu on Windows thing differ from setting up your own virtual machine?

>>61321997
It's more like these:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Linux
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User-mode_Linux

Basically Linux running as a userspace program, letting windows do a big part of the work such ass filesystem access etc.
But while UML and coLinux as ports of the Linux kernel, the core of Ubuntu on Windows is a Linux-emulating subsystem developed by Microsoft using clean room engineering with zero code from Linux.

>>61322112
So if all I care about is shitting out scripts in Vim then compiling from terminal, and watching cartoons in MPV this is good enough?
I used to dual boot but I got tired of switching back and forth, and I dislike the performance drop I had with a VM. Would this be a comfy middle ground or does it run like ass?

I want to build myself a clean distro, but not sure what I REALLY need. Most comfy would be if it installs all essential shit for drivers and stuff and I just have to pick a DE/WM and all software beyond that (i dont want librecuckshit and all that piece of crapware).

Which distribution are you on? Check the files owned by your qemu package and see what they contain (look for a desktop file).
What is that dock? It's most likely sourcing it from desktop files, so check if you have any in your HOME directory. Check

>>61322651
you can copy any existing .desktop form /usr/share/ to your ~/.local/share/applications/ and edit it.
if something exists in both places the one at ~/.local/ is preferred
see the freedesktop wiki for the must have .desktop entries
if you want to start a script with a .desktop put the script in ~/bin/ and set your $PATH to include ~/bin/ and add your script name to the Exec= in the .desktop

>>61323367

>it shows up when i run the program
Well, in that case edit the icon. It's a BMP file which means it doesn't support transparency and that's why the edges look so shit.
Either replace it manually with a nice one, but that's kind of dirty, because your package manager tracks that file. I'd patch/change the package, but no idea how that works on Ubuntu.

Stop listening to meme spreaders and myth parroters like >>61323464. He has no real knowledge. The only thing he can do is spout the same superficial inane crap that he saw elsewhere to feel smart.

Your problem has nothing to do with a distribution. I suggest you look into your terminal emulator. Perhaps it's its color scheme or something else. Try a different terminal emulator too.

>>61323504

Use a gun to your head.

>>61323518

Then it's an apt issue. Look if there's a flag which would prevent it from trimming the output. Maybe try piping it into a pager with "apt search something | less". Alternatively, look into the source code and see if the hardcoded trimming value can be adjusted (might be more complicated than that).

I think that's your terminal's fault.

>>61323549
can you tell me how I would go about solving this?

>>61323752

Which version of xfce4-terminal are you using? It has been recently updated and switched to vte3, so that might make it look different (try upgrading to the latest version).
It might also be a color-scheme issue. Does your terminal support 256 colors? Try starting cmus like this to see if it looks as intended

TERM=xterm-256color xfce4-terminal -x cmus

.

Alternatively try a different terminal emulator. There are dozens of them.

>>61323581

I think that the problem it's related to the graphics. It has an AMD Radeon R5, but it could also be the BIOS. Plz help.

>>61324056
>I think that the problem it's related to the graphics. It has an AMD Radeon R5,

try disabling modesetting. Installers usually have a menu option to do this. Later you can try:
-installing the latest kernel (usually from backports, kernel ppa or experimental repos) and see if it can handle it right. If not then you sadly have to use the closed sores amdgpu-pro driver and wait till the libre amdgpu is improved to handle it.

>>61324083
try it srsly.
internet is full of lays

>>61317937
Placing it in $() should work. Nested command substitution is allowed.

/bin/bash
echo $(upower -i $(upower -e | grep BAT) | grep percentage | grep -Po '\d*')

That script works as expected on my system.
You may or may not quote the command substitution, it works the same way as quoting a variable.

>>61324485
Of course not. This is just desperate womentrying to ban sex bots because they know that once sex both are advanced enough women will be fucked (proverbially, not literally anymore). The only reason why men even bother with women is because they need to pound some hawt mean, it's a biological need, if a sexbot can quench this thirst then women will have nothing left to hold over men (except pregnancies, but VAT born babies aren't far away so not even that anymore) and will be finished.

That is why 99% of all sex bot opponents you will see will be women.

yes, I don't remember the phrasing but there's something you append to the string you use to start the program

>>61327037
isnt that only for startup?

like "vlc ... &"

But i mean for a process that is already running

>>61327073
You have to pass it when you launch the program.
Also,you may want to look in to a launcher(such as dmenu2),so you dont have to use the terminal to launch things

>>61327073
You can use ctrl+z to stop a process and then bg to have continue running in the background. Then you can use disown to make it not exit with the shell.

Some applications might still die after closing the terminal for whatever reason though so you can use something like reptyr to transfer them to a screen/tmux/dtach session.

There is nothing quite like that, although systemd might bring us one.

Is there any way to get Firefox (52 ESR on Debian Stretch) to sort files in alphabetical (as opposed to ASCIIbetical) order? Selecting images for my shitposting is annoying because Firefox insists on sorting capital letters before lowercase letters in the file picker. LC_COLLATE, LC_ALL, and company don't do anything. Dconf-editor has an option to force sorting directories before files, but nothing else.

What's wrong with that?

>>61329685
I don't want files to be sorted like
A.jpg
B.jpg
C.jpg
a.jpg

I want to be able to type to select a filename without caring about the case of the filename. I want to be able to type the first few letters of a filename and then hit the arrow keys to scroll through nearby files. And again, not have to worry about if I started typing with the correct case.

Yes, I could solve this by writing a script to force all 10k images in my 4chan folder to all lowercase. But that'd be annoying and would feel like a defeat since ls and everything else does what I want when I set LC_COLLATE.

Originally i wanted to be a sysadmin.After high school i started going after certs.I completed A+,Linux+,Network+,Security+ classes.But i was strapped for cash at the time so i couldnt take the tests.I was planning on getting CCNET after i had acquired the certs and perhaps a company that would pay for the courses and tests.
Due to medical and legal issues,i was unable to continue on that path.That was 7 years ago.I've been using different distros as a daily driver since vista came out,i have a small web server and different services hosted on it for my network. Im sort of lost on where to pick back up on this path,if i even can.So much shit has changed and ive been out of the loop completely,i was never a programmer,i could manage making scripts but thats about it.I have a dead end job that is effecting me mentally and emotionally and i thought about picking it back up
