Welcome to /flt/ - Friendly Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread. ***


Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this purpose for safety reasons.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with Linux.

To repost my unanswered question:

Fuck, help me out here fglt, I'm going nuts. I've followed the furryguy's tutorial on Windows KVM w/ PCI passthrough step by step, upwards of 10-20 attempts but it all ends the same way.
As soon as everything is set up and I'm done with creating the VM in virt-manager I'm thrown into an UEFI shell where the input doesn't even work.
I'm using Linux Mint (it just works, so I would preferably stay there) with virt-manager 1.4.0.

'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.

>>61719259
Huh? Are you messing with me?

I've never used it, but since i3 is a tiling wm I don't imagine a feature based on window overlapping would work right out of the box. But you should be able to hack something similar together quite easily: it's just a hidden persistent console that pops up on a specific location of the screen on command, after all. You'd just have to deal with how to shove everything else out of the way.

So how do you actually replace gnu with busybox or replace systemd with openrc?
Can you do it within an active install or do you have to start over?
>>
>>61719448
Actually no.The syscall that finds that is part of the kernel.All it cares about is if it is "linux",matching from a list of possible options.
The kernel and gcc give no fucks beyond "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" in its header files(which you can change)
So busybox dosent even touch the kernel headers when the kernel is compiled

>>
>>61719451
You don't replace the GNU system with busybox. Busybox is a extremly stripped down multi binary which holds some common cli programs so you run it on small, embedded devices. It doesn't have the same functionality and I wouldn't recommend it for your daily use machine.

Wrong. It's missing various extra tools and options that a script might use if it's intended to be run on GNU.
GNU also has way better performance since it doesn't care much about size, for better or for worse.

The uname syscall reports linux. Both busybox and gnu uname hardcode that to report as GNU/Linux at compile time based on the configuration of the /host/ OS.

>>61719809
They are arguing based on semantics because you are saying replacement for a GNU userland when it isn't emulating GNU utils (much), it is just implementing the POSIX spec. GNU adds non-POSIX extensions to that and if bbox was a GNU replacement it would actually be able to replace it.
Also it could be argued that a "userland" includes libc (which busybox doesn't) and even a compiler toolchain.

What we say is that you ought to give the system's principal developer a share of the credit. The principal developer is the GNU Project, and the system is basically GNU.

If you feel even more strongly about giving credit where it is due, you might feel that some secondary contributors also deserve credit in the system's name. If so, far be it from us to argue against it. If you feel that X11 deserves credit in the system's name, and you want to call the system GNU/X11/Linux, please do. If you feel that Perl simply cries out for mention, and you want to write GNU/Linux/Perl, go ahead.

Since a long name such as GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv becomes absurd, at some point you will have to set a threshold and omit the names of the many other secondary contributions. There is no one obvious right place to set the threshold, so wherever you set it, we won't argue against it.

Different threshold levels would lead to different choices of name for the system. But one name that cannot result from concerns of fairness and giving credit, not for any possible threshold level, is “Linux”. It can't be fair to give all the credit to one secondary contribution (Linux) while omitting the principal contribution (GNU).

It's a meme, not nature. Expansionism and the wars that result almost exclusively therefrom is almost always the invention of a leader type who wishes to cement his hold on his unequal status, the attachment itself which makes him unfit for the role.

>It's a meme, not nature.
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you just redefining "natural" to be whatever you want? Is basically human psychology unnatural? And whether one pattern of human behaviour is responsible for wars and expansionism (so?) is irrelevant to your (wrong) point.

/g/ents,

I have a TKL keyboard and I don't have a context menu key and instead have two "windows"/super keys. I'd like to remap the right one to context menu but don't know how.

I've fucked around with xev and it says that supr_r is "keycode 134". OK, but I have no idea what keycode a context menu would emit and I have no idea how to change it. How do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

I'll switch to it right now if you can recommend something that verifiably works with f2fs

There's a new GTK3 based file manager.

just install f2fs-tools, use mkfs.f2fs to format your partition(s), then tell the installer not to format those
>>
Okay here I go with the F2FS Ubuntu install

Following this fags guide https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2326934

1. Make a 16.04.3 (it came out yesterday) USB install disk with mkusb-nox

2. Get to installer partitioning tool

3. Set up 128mb /boot/efi partition (I have a GPT disk because I'm cool), leave about 110GB as Do Not Use (this is where we are going to copy the F2FS stuff to later on I think), 10gb~ ext4 partition for Ubuntu's shit
>>
>>61725197
>then tell the installer not to format those
Do you mean you actually have to specify this to the installer, or do you just skip over those? Or manual partition? Bit confused and still very tired.

It's okay if I fuck this up, I'm doing it on my other machine and I have all day free anyway.
>>
>>61725114
>>61725197
oh, do also check the kernel you plan to use has f2fs support
% zgrep F2FS /proc/config.gz

CONFIG_F2FS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_F2FS_FS_SECURITY=y

CONFIG_F2FS_FS_ENCRYPTION=y
# CONFIG_F2FS_FAULT_INJECTION is not set

at least "CONFIG_F2FS_FS" needs to be "m" (module, will need to add f2fs support to your initramfs if you're using it for root) or "y" (builtin)

You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a GTK3 and Qt5 program assuming they use the same theme.
You can't name technical reasons what's wrong with GTK3 and better with the toolkit of your choice.

You're just an idiot who spouts opinions he saw on the internet that he deemed edgy to feel intelligent when he parrots them.

>>61725254
it's already finished installing now, I was going to do the f2fs switch over thing because I wasn't sure what you meant by telling the installer to not wipe the partition. I was already past that point when you posted that message anyway.
>>
>>61725251
"/proc/config.gz" support is also an optional feature, which is disabled for your kernel

you can also check if the module exists on your machine;
% ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/f2fs
f2fs.ko
>>
>>61725285
Yep it does have that f2fs.ko file. I'm testing all this on a mostly-equivalent machine which also has Ubuntu LTS installed.
>>
>>61725275
you can also do that, just boot the ubuntu livecd, back up the volume(s) you want as f2fs, format them to f2fs, then restore them
adjust your bootloader and fstab if need be
>>

Thanks I will try. I assume you're saying just follow the instructions on the ubuntuforums post?

>>61725340
>I assume you're saying just follow the instructions on the ubuntuforums post?
i haven't followed your entire conversation, i jumped into it, i'm not aware of a ubuntuforums post
i can outline it, going off the last time i used the ubuntu installer, which was a number of years ago (before f2fs existed, actually, though that doesn't matter)

should be just;
1. get up to the partitioning section
2. pick manual partitioning
3. create the paritions you want, if you're forced to format the partitions you make, do so, it doesn't matter
4. format the partitions you want as f2fs using mkfs.f2fs, outside of the installer
5. refresh the manual partition screen, and ensure "format" is unticked for the partitions you formatted to f2fs
6. set the mountpoints for your partitions
7. continue on with the installation
>>
>>61725397
(oh, and if you don't have "mkfs.f2fs", install it, it'll be called f2fs-tools or -progs, or -utils.. something like that, you'll also want to install this on the installed copy of ubuntu as well)

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

Don't call it GNU/Linux. It gives Stallsham undue credit. He's done nothing but take credit for the work of others and has the audacity to call himself a Doctor when he couldn't even finish his Masters.

wrote emacs
Contributed to guy steele's TECO macros, later cloned gosmacs, the actual first emacs for UNIX. If stallman wrote emacs, apple is the sole creator of webkit.
wrote gcc and gdb
He wrote the C compiler initially, but the vast majority of development for other compilers and the C compiler has came from non-stallman sources.

And he hasn't programmed in years. Stallman is washed up, and his justifications for copyleft are horribly invalid nonsense that would make more sense if they were actual thinly veiled communism instead of selfish ramblings and a desire for a world that catered to his specific social class.

I don't, please reply with your copypastas where it is relevant. Calling Linux GNU/Linux gives GNU credit, not only Stallman. Stallman is not the only person who has contributed to GNU. Your point about gcc and gdb are thereby incorrect.

Also, Linux is licensed under the GNU Public License so you won't have a 100% GNU free system even then.

>>61728571
>without contribution
He maybe hasn't contributed with code, but he has contributed in making free software more known and letting people know why free software is important. This way he made more people contribute to open source software. He could have not let people know why free software is important and instead of that contributed to free software, but that would have resulted in less contribution to free software projects in total.

>>61729474
>his post does have an ext4 /boot partition
Yes it does. I think where I fucked up is having a GPT drive which requires a /boot/efi partition to be present (for some reason that I can't remember) and I didn't know how to adapt the guide to fit my setup.

if my /boot/efi partition is actually a fat32 partition, can you please help me adapt it to what you said to make it work? I don't quite know what you mean by mounting a separate /boot into the root mount before chrooting. Do I need a new /boot ext4 partition?
>>
>>61729621
your /boot can be fat32, for EFI purposes
i've never used EFI before, so i can't be specific, but you will still need to mount your fat32/efi /boot over your root mount

like lets say sda1 is /boot and sda2 is /, you would do;
a. mount /dev/sda2 /tmp/sdaroot
b. mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/sdaroot/boot
c. chroot /tmp/sdaroot
this way, "/tmp/sdaroot" is your on-disk root, and the "boot" directory in that is actually the contents of sda1, as that is mounted on to "/tmp/sdaroot/boot"

Not mentioning GNU in the fist place was disrespectful towards GNU already, such thing is only useful for companies, hence the wide spread of "Linux" and "Open Source".

this can be solved by adding "rw" (or changing "ro" to "rw") to your kernel arguments
refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters for details
>>
>>61730231
except that there's no Linux kernel, there is just Linux, which itself is a kernel. the "mac kernel" (mac is actually a device) is xnu.
so, following your logic, you'd call kernel of macos "The Xnu kernel"?

What's wrong with it is your condescending and autistic way of copy-pasting large paragraphs of communist bullshit and thinking that's going to win you any friends.

Thanks anon, that got me into the desktop.... which is where it's looking kinda ugly.
Firstly, the default system for some reason is now still using the 10gb ext4 partition.

This is how it's looking right now. It's been fun but now I'm thinking about killing myself and it's no longer cool.

hmm, there's a few things that need changes there, i'm not sure why you even have sda3 there
>>
>>61730850
So I deleted sda3 (the guide wasn't explicit about it) and now I have the minimal bash grub thing at boot-up. I give up, anon. Thanks for sticking with me through it. Ubuntu is just not ready with F2FS, I'm going to accept it and just wait a few months until 17.10 or maybe even till the next LTS.
This SSD has been going since 2012 with no signs of dying, so I guess it can handle a few more.
>>
>>61731178
well, if your machine is mounting root as sda3, then you'll need to tell it to use sda2 instead
namely, you need to edit your /etc/fstab
plus, getting the "minimal bash" after deleting sda3 means that /boot was still on sda3, you needed to move it to sda1 as previously mentioned

>>61731178
GRUB doesn't support F2FS. If you did direct UEFI booting of the kernel it'd work.
>>
>>61731261
Damn, thanks anon. Worth a try.
>>61731295
Do you know if the situation is changing any time soon? I noticed a ticket on Launchpad related to F2FS in the installer had been updated for Ubuntu 17.10. Maybe some hope there, dunno.
>>
>>61731295
you can work around that by placing just /boot on a volume grub does support
there's also a patch for grub that adds f2fs support

Can't we just make peace and start over with /fglt/. Please grow a thicker skin when taling about GNU, since it's a large part of our community and system. You don't have to like it or agree with software freedom, but don't knock them out; they don't knock you out either and call it "just GNU". /fglt/ was pretty fine for years. Now these threads are 80% full of useless hate, dividing our community.

both tar and gzip are practically gauranteed to be available on any linux system ever, if that's what you mean
>>
>>61731828
you mean GNU/Linux system, Linux is just a kernel, tar and gzip are GNU programs
>>
>>61731871
no, actually, these are common on non-gnu linux systems as well, for example, busybox has implementations of both
>>
>>61731989
>>61731871
ps. tar isn't even originally a gnu program, gnu tar is an (one of many) implementation of the earlier unix tar program
>>
>>61732059
The earlier unix programs were proprietary; thats why the GNU project have rewritten them from scratch for the GNU system.
>>
>>61732082
sure, but nobody said "gnu tar", as in the gnu implementation of tar, specifically
>>
>>61732059
>he thinks people use the original unix programs from the 70s
>>61732114
so which version of tar do you think is isntalled on the majory of all gnu/linux distributions? unix tar? bsd tar? busybox tar?
>>
>>61732144
Alpine uses busybox.

>>61732144
>which version of tar do you think is isntalled on the majory of all gnu/linux distributions?
nobody besides you said gnu/linux systems
>>
install solus
>>
>>61732166
As someone who just spent a week dicking around with Alpine, I can assure you that nobody in their community actually uses busybox for everything on a full fat desktop. The first thing they tell desktop users to do is install GNU core/bin/findutils.

Busybox isn't even fully POSIX compliant. They just leave random shit out if it's too hard to implement, like mark/jump in vi, and then tell people to read the source if they want to know what's actually supported. It's not a tool set for serious work.

You stallman fucks sure are caught up on this "fact"(fake news).
If stallman was never in the tech indsutry and was stillborn at birth.We would still have Linux.Back in the 1990's when linux was working on linux there were other userlands which he could have used.There were many other options at the time and he would have picked one of those and gone on with creating linus like it would have been in our timeline.
>respect stallman
BAHAHHA
He is a pedophile(https://stallman.org/archives/2003-may-aug.html)
He support bestiality (http://stallman.org/articles/extreme.html)
He eats skin from his dirty feet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ 1:55)

He has horrible mannners(pic related) and otherwise is a giant turd of a person
He is direly mentally insane most like likely non-medicated due to some broken logic he has about medication
