Anybody have the default libreboot grub background? Enjoying my free as in freedom laptop, but I'm trying to add it to my own grub config so it sorta "flows thru" while booting.

Also fuck gommies.

>>61331768

We already have a perfectly fine thread.

>>61331790
No, fuck capitalists.

What is a good distro for a old ass PC with 256 RAM with 64 MB video? i know DSL but it says that is only mostly for live only use, then what would be something similar?

Should I go Nemo or are there better alternatives? People who put Nautilus in deserve a dickslap.

Why do I keep breaking packages on Debian? Debian is the only distro I have this problem.

regardless, here it is. /resources/grub/background

puppy will probably be a good choice, since unlike DSL allows you to use ubuntu packages

pcmanfm is a well featured GTK file manager.
The only drawback it has is copying dialog which only tells you the progress in % and the estimated time left instead of more useful information like transfer speed

What font do you all use in the terminal?

I have been using fixed-misc 6x13 bitmap font for as long as I've been seriously using linux but my eyes are getting old and that font is two small.
I switched to DejaVu Sans Mono and it looks fine but holy shit I can only fit four 80x24 terminals on the screen instead of nine. I guess I will have to start switching tags more.

>>61331801
Thinkpad T60. Was super worried since the panel was supposedly untested but it worked out OK.

>>61332007
Didn't occur to me I could pull it out of the source, but it should have. From my reading, I didn't want to have to reflash every time I had a kernel update, so I just stuck with the "read the grub from the HD" option. Maybe there's something I didn't understand. Regardless, thank you sir.

>>61332017
I'd always used Thunar or Nautilus til I realized I could reasonably customize pcmanfm. Now I like it fine.

>>61332074
7x13 actually because the bold and italic version don't look squished and shit.
But I have a 96ppi laptop screen.

If your eyes get tired I highly recommend switching to a dark-on-light terminal colorscheme.
More light gets reflected of your retina and your eye doesn't have to focus that much. Some studies actually confirmed that it's easier to use for prolonged periods of time especially if you have eye defects like astigmatism.
Personally I use bluloco light, I think it's from Atom editor

Also good thread.

>>61332141
just make sure your kernel+initram filenames haven't changed after an update and you won't ever need to flash a rom again.

copy whatever your current grub.cfg is doing into libreboot's grub.cfg.

how do I make ubuntu boot to tty1 by default? I always have to switch to it manually

>>61332281
What tty does it boot to? And in text mode or with a dm?

>>61332352
I'm not sure which one, it's just a blank screen. I have to hit ctrl+alt+f1 to switch

>>61332225
Interdasting, I'll look into it. Clearly using the libreboot grub payload singular bootloader would be more efficient (and arguably more secure?). I plan on keeping it [only free src] Debian for the rest of its life.

>>61332281
I basically did the same thing starting from LXDE Debian and (more or less) giving it the Crunchbang treatment by installing Openbox+Tint2. Short answer is I modified .xinitrc to contain:

exec openbox-session

so when I hit "startx" it would load Openbox

and also purged lightdm. YMMV because Ubuntu. I think Ubuntu uses gdm. (?)

I'm having some issues with hibernation on Fedora. Anyone know what to do?

I found this guide:
https://psohny.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/fedora_hiber/
which tells me I should look in

/etc/default/grub

for

GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY

.
True enough, this is set to true, but I am not sure what to do about the second part.

The guide says to look in

/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

for a certain line, and then add something to it, but I cannot find this line. Furthermore, at the top of

grub.cfg

is a warning that it should not be edited.

In one of the comments is a correction, which says to instead change a second line in

/etc/default/grub

, but I am not sure what I'm doing. The comment says to alter one line to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”rhgb quiet resume=/dev/sda3″

However, this line in my grub file has a few other entries as well.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet"

Should I just remove these, and alter the entire line to look like the above?

Is this guide maybe too old, and should I instead be looking into something with systemd instead?

>>61332376
Is it a really old setup that uses chvt in rc.local or something to switch to tt7? That used to be the default for the first graphical console before everything started execing on tty1 for security.

>>61332506
I didn't know :(

>>61332652
Just add the resume=... parameter and leave everything alse there.
I don't use fedora but you should be able to tell it is to old by hibernation not working after you follow it.
It should just boot fresh, if it doesn't even do that just choose another grub entry or edit the broken one in the grub menu.

>>61332671
I don't know. It's ubuntu 17.04 minimal install.

>>61332713
Thanks for reading and answering!

I was going to, but now I looked for the device name of my swap partition and I don't know which one it is. Running df -h shows 10 different entries, but I don't see the word "swap" anywhere. Should it be there? Might I simply not have one set up?

>>61332807
Upon further inspection, fdisk -l shows that I have a partition at /dev/mapper/fedora-swap. Is this the one?

>>61332417
try scaling it yourself in gimp or pinta to be the correct resolution. Should be able to avoid the automatic scaling.

God damn, I feel so dumb but at the same time, why should all this shit be necessary just to get fucking hibernateion

samefagging as
>>61332652
>>61332807

>>61332932

I have gone into /etc/default/grub and changed two lines:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet resume=/dev/dm-1"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="false" 

I also tried "true", but that didn't fix my problem. In addition, I have made sure that nothing causes a wakeup, and disabled a bunch of things in /proc/acpi/wakeup.
So I can put my computer to sleep and get it out without much issue, and my computer doesn't immediately restart when I set it to hibernate. But restarting from hibernate just causes a fresh reboot, and the previous session is lost, or at least not restarted.

As a bonus, a problem that I thought was gone has come back, where firewalld will take 4 minutes to stop during shutdown. So now it takes 5 minutes to reboot rather than 20 seconds. Has to be related, but I don't have a clue how.

>>61334283
Did you regenerate the grub config like in https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/96389/fedora-24-how-to-enable-hibernate/
idk, I don't use fedora, in debian it is handled by the initramfs.

I changed /dev/dm-1 to /dev/mapper/fedora-swap, and got out of hibernation. ONCE.

The second time I tried, the computer went into and then right out of hibernation in 1 second, and my wifi stopped working.

If this weren't kinda funny in a silly way, I would have given up by now.

So i don't know much about linux but i need your help.

So basically my SD card on android kept getting corrupted every two weeks or so and i decided to reformat it as ext4 to see if it helps, but now when i browse the card then instead of being mounted as /storage/000-1234 or something like that it's mounted to /mnt/554sd5sd45sd54d4_rw
I don't understand, why? Won't that break everything?

I keep losing ssh access to my server - it either freezes in session or fails to connect in the first place. It looks like it's due to memory (when I can connect there's about 2.5/4gb in use and the same for swap). How can I remedy this? I have a memory-intensive program which is run as a service file and I haven't touched it in about a month. Would a cron job to restart it ~once a week help?

>>61335661
Not so sure it's about memory now. I just reconnected, looked at htop which showed ~2.5/4gb again for both ram and swap, opened sshd_config and it froze within seconds.

5)a common /root folder

5 and 6 are gonna be automatically mounted on startup on all of the gentoo partitions so swiching between the will no be a problem

>>61336645
Just boot up a live USB and mess around with it. What is it you want to use it for?

>>61336645
The only thing you might want to actually go and learn is something like python, but you don't need to.

Other than that just start using it. Try to use the terminal for things, and whenever you need to change/fix something you just search or ask someone and then when you figure out the commands to run try and learn why they worked.

That's how most people learn. It's just that there's a lot of little pieces of information you need, so it would be kind of weird or awkward to get it from a book (books would probably dive unnecessarily deep).

>>61336645
why does everyone think you need to buy a magical book before starting anything

Whats up with the mouse sensitivity in arch, when I set it up originally it was fine, nice and high but after I updated yesterday it's now so slow and fucking with the acceleration settings only increases it so much which is still not sensitive enough.

How do I actually set my mouse sensitivity properly, at the moment I had to set a different profile on my mouse with a much increased dpi setting to get the sensitivity up to a good level, but I'd rather do this on the OS so I don't have to change when I boot into windows?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration

No, it's not. It's the xfce4 package in Ubuntu. What you installed is a package which installs additional Xubuntu themes and artwork.

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.”

I've tried Linux Mint and Ubuntu, and I want to jump to something a bit more complex for my new laptop.

Is Arch, Void or Parabola a good starting point?

I have a GTX 1050 and an intel hd 2500 integrated card. I have a display on the intel and another on the discrete card. Is there a way to make the two displays work somehow?

Lspci sees both VGA controllers.
Xrandr only sees the the intel one.

If I install the proprietary nvidia driver, it says the device doesn't support opengl 2.0 ( don't know which one). With nouveau, only the display connected to the intel gpu works.

Why my PC turns into a sluggish piece of shit when I open too many tabs on Chrome? Before I created a swap it was even worse, because everything just stopped responding.
What is the problem here? Because even with these tabs open, my RAM usage is at 60% at maximum.

PROTIP: If you use Terminus font and have trouble with character spacing, especially when it comes to fallback characters (e.g. Japanese text)
then download the TTF version of Terminus. It also comes with embedded bitmaps so it should look the same but plays MUCH nicer when combined with other fonts.

>>61346112

and are the tabs content heavy?

rsync, git, unison
depends on what your intentions are. Is it always 1-way or do you want to "sync" both ways?

>>61346375
8 or 9, with some google docs documents opened. Nothing so uncommon.

>>61346496
Well, want to save config files and other /home /etc stuff.
Seems like rsync would do but also want to make a back up of the whole disk just in case shit hits the fan. What do?

>>61346551
Only 9 or so shouldn't cause any issues.

Could it possibly be too much flash content? Flash sucks ass period, and it's even worse on Linux since I think adobe actually stopped supporting it a while ago. Not that it matters anymore since flash is pretty much dying, but some sites still use it

Try disabling flash and opening the same tabs you usually do and see if that makes a difference
(Alternatively just kill the "flash-plugin" program right now if you have it running, and see if it helps, but just be aware it might mess up some sites you have open until you refresh their pages to reload the plugin)

>>61346570
I'd probably go with rsync. But I'm not really sure about speed comparisons of different programs since I don't backup anything that huge.

But you really can't go wrong with rsync for backups. It just doesn't check for changes both ways so it's not good as a "sync" tool. But if you just back up from 1 machine to the other then it's great

hey /g/ help me out. I need to RMA a laptop and remove linux from the dual booted drive. I removed all the partitions I created in the linux installer and expanded the windows partition to its original size. and everything seems fine now, it boots automatically into windows, grub appears to be gone. But when I go into select boot device it still lists manjaro as an option. why is this still there?

>>61346677
That's really more of a Windows question. As you said, you've removed everything. Nothing should be left on your harddrive that is Manjaro's doing.

You probably ran Windows one day when you still had Manjaro installed and Windows did some fuckery to auto-detect the partitions and for whatever reason isn't capable of realizing its gone now

so I installed ubuntu in virtualbox, what now

I updated to the most recent Linux Mint after being on 17.2 for months.

On one hand, I'm very glad I did because some videos that were giving me playback problems are playing a way smoother now.

On the other hand, attempts to switch users now gets me a "You do not seem to be logged in on the console. Starting a new login only works correctly on the console" message. So every morning lately since I've upgraded Linux Mint I've had to go through the ritual of opening all my programs.

I mean the bullshit it's almost worth it for the fact that I can play certain videos smoothly that I couldn't before but, I did rather like being able to get up, get on the computer, go to my account and everything was there as I left it before I switched users and went to sleep.

tl;dr - Why isn't Linux Mint/Cinnamon allowing me to switch users anymore and how do I solve this problem, please? Thank you
