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. Please use other boards to discuss ideology, /g/ is Technology ***

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 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.

if we are being screamed at to call it clunky names at every turn
if term open source gets you stoned by fanatics
and this preaching about how essential gnu was
i really believed it when I was new
as it turned out, what they did was copy unix utilities
there was no deep thinking about what to do, just copy basic stuff

sure compiler and glibc are nice, or gpl license
but if people believe that there would be only propietary compilers with rms
or that copy left license would not come... and linux had alternative to glibc for a decade before seeing duplication in effort...

but this is my biggest issue, lets all get bullied in to naming things someone wants because of the past
they are nothing now and as I said, gnu will wither and die with rms

Damn, this so goddamn hard. What a piece of shit that kike is. So dislikable.

Even worse than Assange really but that's the only recent example that came to mind. Only absolute trash can rally around a turd like that.

No, the ironic thing is we're not *even* here to discuss the personality of Linus.

I installed Gentoo yesterday. It was actually really easy and the real installation time was probably under 45 minutes including compiling necessary software. However, the process took me several hours because the Gentoo Handbook is a miserable guide. Not friendly! A succinct set of instructions would totally trivialize it.

Linus would have used one of many userlands avalible at the time. Gnu isnt something special, its just another userland, and if it didnt excist Linus would have choose another one(which he was going to do initially but the one he was porting was missing some features at the time, so he went with gnu). We would be using BSD pr plan9 or solaris or various other projects that would have gotten the attention sans gnu existing.

I know you're suffering from cognitive dissonance right now, but its going to be ok. Write an email to mr stallkike about the meanine mans on the interwebs.

>There weren't any available at this time exept GNU
That's got nothing to do with ethics. Either you are trying to revise history to push your agenda or you are to stupid to research your claims. The reason he chose the gnu stuff rather than the berkely stuff was because ATT was suing berkely for ownership (ATT lost btw). Which is also why linux got popular.
>>
>>61753835
Your logic is 100% history based.

That's not a good way to conduct rational thought. The mere fact that something "could have" been another way doesn't change what something is today.

The facts are that everything about the operating system you know and love today would be MUCH more identical if it was the kernel which was replaced rather than if the userland was replaced and the kernel kept the same.

>lol no because look at Hurd which has been in development forever and still sucks
Linux owes a MASSIVE amount of gratitude and credit for the success of his kernel to other developers. The reason other kernels don't catch up to Linux is because the train has already left the station. Back when it was a novelty everyone was eager to help and contribute. It's very difficult to build that kind of backing today.

and if GNU ever becomes obsolete one day it's because of how much everyone cares about their userland.
Nobody wants to build a new kernel because funnily enough, people actually don't give 2 shits about the kernel. You don't see anyone here arguing over issues and internal conflicts happening with the kernel developers do you?
All anyone cares about is their usersland.

TL;DR whether you realize it or not anon, "Linux" to you (and to all of us) IS the userspace which actually has nothing at all to do with Linux the kernel.

Yup. And companies have learn't that unless you can reallocate and couple hundred engineers to a project, playing nice with open source is to their benifit because it allows them to offload development and maintanance effort. It's like the prisoner's dilemma vs the iterated prisoner's dilemma.

>"Linux" to you (and to all of us) IS the userspace
How can you possible claim to know anything about rational thought when you just redefine all your terms?

>The facts are that everything about the operating system you know and love today would be MUCH more identical if it was the kernel which was replaced rather than if the userland was replaced and the kernel kept the same.
Even if true (with what, MINX, hurd? I doubt they would support the same userspace we have today) what is your point? The gnu userspace is mostly posix, like leterally replaceable.

>Linux owes a MASSIVE amount of gratitude and credit for the success of his kernel to other developers.
Do you mean "Linus" and that he didn't develop linux as is all by himself? No shit, no-one has claimed he did. These days he mostly just does merges.

>You don't see anyone here arguing over issues and internal conflicts happening with the kernel developers do you?
Stuppid babby. Really? What about the whole reorginazation when they realized Linus was a SPOF. What about greg getting shutdown for trying to push freedesktop shit? What about the fuss over urandom and the bsds arguing with the linux devs?

So like..
What's stopping me from continuing to spam interjections in /flt/ threads?

You're not changing anything except:
1) Actively being the cause of a split in the community over an ideological position
2) Making a loud point to the world that there are users on /g/ who want to distance themselves from GNU
So what's your end game? Does it just make you feel good inside that you're "winning" by striking GNU from the title? Hmmm, you sure you're not activists?

The RIGHT way to have your little internet battle here is to remember that this is fucking 4chan, we aren't a hivemind social media site that must all take sides on shit as a community.
As far as I'm concerned go ahead and make /flt/ threads when /fglt/ threads die. In such cases then anyone creating a second /fglt/ thread will be the faggot.

We aren't 1 voice here. Go ahead and wage war over the title if it floats your boat, but we don't need to constantly have 2 separate threads. Mods should treat /fglt/ and /flt/ as a single entity and just delete any duplicates.

>>61754461
All I really give a shit about is that the mods are going to weigh in at some point to force a single thread.
In fact that's probably why a lot of people are fighting right now.

So all I'm saying is there are 2 ways to handle this. Either the mods should stay out of it and let people make as many GNU/Linux, Linux, SystemD/Linux, MyFavoriteDistroEdition/Linux, threads that we feel like
OR
They shouldn't distinguish between /fglt/ and /flt/ at all, and if they want to enforce a single thread should just delete whichever one was made at a later date.

To make a point that this isn't accomplishing shit.
I don't make interjection posts, if that knowledge makes you feel any better. It shouldn't because my point is a general one

If you'd calm down a bit you'd realize that my posts are neutral. I'm not in favor of /fglt/ OR /flt/.
I'm just annoyed at the fact that everyone is split across multiple threads now for ideological reasons and caused by a bunch of people who are claiming to be the indifferent party

It's laughable. Like I said I'm not taking sides but I can't help but notice that the GNUtards haven't created a major division in the past, and even now only have 1 thread while /flt/ has 4.

Trying out i3, I like it quite a bit, think I'm gonna stick with it.

Just one minor annoyance. Does anyone know if there's there a hackless way to make workspaces collapse to the left? Meaning, I don't want pic related to happen.
>>
>>61754881
Why would you want it to collapse if you have windows open on those desktops?

Or are you saying that's happening even when you have no windows on them?
>>
>>61754927
I don't mean I want the stuff inside the workspaces to get closed, just to have the identifying IDs fixed.

Let's say I have 6 workspaces open. If I close everything in workspace 5 and move out of it, I want 6 to get "moved" to the left and become number 5 rather than be left with workspaces 1, 2, 3, 4, 6


I get the feeling what I'm asking for is too specific for i3, though, and I'll have to go and do it myself if I really want it...
>>
>>61754967
Well the problem there is I think i3 was entirely set up around the concept that workspaces have particular pre-determined uses.

The numbers actually aren't enumerated by i3, they are literally just named "1", "2", "3", etc.. in the default config. You'll see screenshots where people have other names for them like "web" or "irc" or whatever and i3 doesn't treat them any differently.

But I don't know if what you want is built in or not, I'm just pointing out the design philosophy and why I doubt that it is. But it's probably doable through some other means anyway.

/flt/ is an abomination. It was founded by retards. Allowing retarded people to fork /fglt/ is PURE FUCKING STUPID

It is the kind of stupid worth killing people over.

This is stupid that is worth mass murder.

This is why I support 9/11-style attacks against /flt/. I support bombs detonated in /flt/. I support
murder of /flt/ posters. I support torture of family members of /flt/ posters. I support murdering pets of /flt/ posters. I support
acid attacks against /flt/ posters. I support disemboweling /flt/ posters. I support dumping driveway sealer on the automobiles of /flt/ posters. I support harassment and psychological torture of /flt/ posters. I support turning /flt/ into a living hell.

Murdering /flt/ posters is, in my mind, justice. /flt/ is an experiment that should be terminated, and the damage done
by them is so severe that mass murder is the appropriate course of action.

>>
>>61755929
Linus Torvalds is a retard if he thinks we should refer to an entire OS by the name of an exchangeable kernel. The truth is that Linus NEEDS it to be called Linux. When the Tech CEOs of Apple and Google and IBM, and others hear about "Linux", they assume they are talking about the OS and not just the kernel. They then dump billions into developing "Linux" with the intent of improving the OS, but in actuality much of that money goes to over-developing the kernel (and thus the Linux Foundation gets a big chunk of that money under false pretenses). Basically, Linus wants everyone to call the GNU POSIX operating systems "Linux" so that his rent gets paid. He'd call your Android and Router and your parent's smartTV "Linux" too if he could get away with it. Linus Torvalds is a piece of shit.

Are they modules, or not? You complain about modules not being available, but then say they're not modules. Which is it?

Show the snippets of your .config and the commands you're using to compile the kernel.

Trying out firejail.
After doing firecfg, and it creating the symlinks, launching any program normally does not use firejail.firejail --list shows nothing but the --list action.
However manually doing say firejail firefox, it properly sandboxes and shows up in --list.
I manually checked the synlinks in /usr/local/bin and it is pointing to /usr/bin/firejail.
Is there some userfile i'm missing that is picking up instead of using the sandbox?

Regulations on freedom are only good if the fair and friendly government does it, private corporations should not have the freedom to regulate their own services.

If that's the .config you're using, you're compiling these features as modules. You are not compiling them into the kernel binary. So it is no mystery why they are not loading as part of the kernel itself.
>>
>>61756448
But they are still enabled, having them as a module means you are able to load them with modprobe and they are not always in the kernelspace.Where as having them hardcoded they are always active.
Setting them as modules does not mean the config is not enabled, it just means its an on demand load instead of being loaded by default

Every decision a person makes stems from the person's values and goals. People can have many different goals and values; fame, profit, love, survival, fun, and freedom, are just some of the goals that a good person might have. When the goal is to help others as well as oneself, we call that idealism.
My work on free software is motivated by an idealistic goal: spreading freedom and cooperation. I want to encourage free software to spread, replacing proprietary software that forbids cooperation, and thus make our society better.

Our culture is moving in this direction slowly but surely.

I also think in the coming years there's going to be a huge push to demands for more collaboration and sharing of private data coming from higher ups and all throughout academia, mostly to attempt fixing the current systems of "publish or perish" which produce copious amounts of falsified research and data.

All things being equal it might benefit companies more to keep data private, but it's actually detrimental to the interests of government programs, the military, and academia and its investors. and they're combined weight is a force to be reckoned with.

The concept of trying to create a thriving field by keeping proprietary information and fighting over private interests will seem as batshit insane to people 100yrs from now as the notion that the best way to boost the livelihood of a nation is to keep its population uneducated seems to us today.
The result is government intervention. Today we have public school systems. Tomorrow we will have laws and regulations to restrict proprietary data of all kinds.

Stallman was just ahead of his time.

It's a great compiler if all you do is compile with it.
The source code is a huge monolithic nightmare because RMS was afraid companies might restrict users' freedom should it be modularized.
That's why LLVM exists. It's a generic backend that you can use as a base for different language frontends (e.g. Clang).
There's also the question of licenses. GCC has switched to GPL v3 which has some additional (largely politically motivated) restrictions of use, forcing some projects and companies to use old version of GCC still licensed under GPL v2 (e.g. OpenBSD, Apple, etc.). LLVM is permissively licensed making it more business friendly and also fit for projects tired of Stallman's shit.

In any case, always use the best tool for the job.

The way KDE project works, they always produce a stable and polished release and then increment the major version number and completely break everything while bloating it up with new misfeatures. Then they start fixing the bugs, until it's almost bug-free and rock-stable, at which point the cycle repeats and they break fucking everything again.

Consider using MATE or Xfce.

Hi anon's, I'm having the same issue on two different machines, completely different builds.

I'm only able to detect my bootloaders when I use a manjaro live-usb and go to the detect efi bootloader menu.

One of the machines is a fresh install so i'm thinking it may be a motherboard issue. But to have the same issue on two different machines, running two different operating systems is odd.

You dumb fucking faggot. I am aware of what that autoconf file in gnulib is used for. Did you happen to notice that there is for instance both netbsd* and netbsd*-gnu*? Yet you are making uname report the same system for both. Since you didn't even read the comment above that block which says you can just remove the more specific matches to make the less specific ones match I assume you don't know why a system would report those different syscall outputs and why stripping the difference is stupid.
Fucking summer fags that would rather feel smug by posting an edited uname output to their desktop threads than actually understand their system.

>I was just surprised at how simple the installation process actually is compared to its reputation

if you're familiar with linux in general you don't even need the gentoo handbook, just a cheatsheet of emerge should suffice

>I assume you don't know why a system would report those different syscall outputs
mainly so stallman can tell people to run uname and say it says this and that for the OS name
>>
>>61760037
This.
Stallman added the non-standard -o option to uname and changed the description of -r and -s in the manpage just to feel smug about himself.

No, the gnu project added the option to uname. It uses the right side of >>61759825, the left side comes from elsewhere.

He didn't and I never claimed it. He simply bastardized uname to feed his ego.

How can i mount ext partition with journaling disabled? Since i only have 2 ssds, i decided to make separate partition for /var with journaling disabled. It has generic record in /etc/fstab:
# /dev/sda2
UUID=15f4397b-07d6-4b4a-b740-fe1db6029b44 /var ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 2

It works fine, but at reboot i'm seeing Error unmounting /var. 3 other partitions mounted with same parameters, but there are no errors with them.
>>
>>61760662
Forgot to mention, genfstab made much more different record for that partition with bunch of other options, i just thought it was not important, so i replaced it with record from arch wiki about trim. And, obiviously, i haven't made a backup.

>>61760827
Install gentoo, but make sure you don't just copy-paste what the handbook is telling you but instead actually understand what it is you're doing

Yes it will be slow and will take a lot of googling, but you'll learn quite a lot
>>
>>61760662
1. Stop using the discard option. Archwiki even warns against this. Use periodic TRIM instead https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives#Periodic_TRIM

2. Journaling on ext4 can't be disabled through a mount option. If you really want it disabled, unmount the filesystem and then use
# tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdXY
. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS!

I have no idea why would it throw errors on unmounting.
>>

>2. Journaling on ext4 can't be disabled through a mount option. If you really want it disabled, unmount the filesystem and then use # tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdXY. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS!
Yes, i made that after making partition. There is no journaling on that partition.
>>
>>61761067
Great.
The mount options in fstab seem all right, with the exception of discard which can cause some problems. If you still have problems when unmounting it, check the logs.

Hello.
I've installed Ubuntu on my laptop, turned out its slow as fuck, so i did apt-get install lubuntu. Now the envirnoment works fine, but i cant even play a video on youtube without stuttering, and while laptop had vista before, everything worked smoothly. Any help?
>>
>>61761653
>stuttering
You mean tearing?
What GPU do you have?
>>
>>61761653
It's your GPU drivers, nothing to do with which Ubuntu variant you have. It would be slow in Lubuntu if you haven't set them up right.
>>
>>61761708
tearing, stuttering, its just not smooth, video and audio tears.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Sony-Vaio-VGN-P530H-R.14985.0.html this is the laptop im trying to revive - if nothing helps, i'll just roll back to vista on it, and close another year of linux experience as 'dont even try, jimmy', as its always same story since 2002.

what linux distro would be best for my computer?

tried a couple by they all freeze constantly or there is no driver support ;(

CPU: AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G @ 4x 1.8GHz
GPU: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CARRIZO (DRM 3.1.0, LLVM 3.8.0)
>>
>>61761741
Oh you're the dude with that sexy little Vaio from the other day. I don't even know why your drivers don't just work because Intel GMA 500s use the open source driver which is already present in the kernel (I think it is, I've never used anything with a GMA500). Have you tried installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and then making sure everything is enabled in Additional Drivers post-install? You shouldn't be having this many problems on that netbook. It should just fucking werk.
Dont give up yet, give another distro like Fedora or Debian a try before you completely give up. Something just doesn't sound right. Are you allowing it to install third party drivers at the start of the install?

As root create a file 90-intel.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with these contents:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "on"
EndSection

Then log out and log in again. It should prevent tearing.

Xubuntu 16.04
Xubuntu 14.04

ubuntu 14.04
Manjaro

older distros like xubuntu 12.04 wouldn't even pass the boot screen

>>61755802
Ask me how I know you're new?
>>
>>61761770
Sabayon supposedly has very good hardware support. I tried it one and it was the only Distro that worked out of the box for me (for others the touchpad had problems). And while it is based on Gentoo, you can just use entropy which is a binary installer unlike emerge which has to compile everything from source.

Try Debian 9.1
Or possibly Fedora but Debian first. I dont really know why that CPU would be difficult but it may have something to do with the kernel, so try Ubuntu 16.04.3 (which has the latest Ubuntu kernel) and see if that helps. Ubuntu make their own kernel which can be trouble sometimes. Could be why.
