try reinstalling grub first off, if it's a grub issue everything is there and ready to go it's just there's nothing telling the bios that it's a bootable drive with an os on it. there's also lilo as an alternative to grub

>>61973592
I'll try installing with LILO this time, thanks.

>>61973432
Alright so I found a possible cause? I installed using grub-install /dev/sda, as per the gentoo installation docs. Was I supposed to use /dev/sda1 to point to the boot partition? I'm really grasping at straws trying to figure out what I messed up.

what did you try and what was the error?

How am I supposed to update nvidia drivers in a terminal if my gpu locks up as soon as ubuntu loads? I was able to install using nomodeset but trying to boot from the actual installation locks up the gpu. I tried booting from the install media using 'boot from first drive' with nomodeset but my gpu still locks up.

>>61974748
>>61974741
Thanks!

>>61974846
have you tried booting the failsafe option or whatever it's called that uses onboard instead of the card?

If I'm using a blank, unpartitioned drive, am I free to use whichever of BIOS or UEFI I like?

Depends on your mobo,and the os you're installing and what bootloader you're using

what filesystem is on your harddrive? i have often had that problem with ntfs drives remounting them in a user owned folder usually works

>>61975165
I believe it's ext4. I just tried mounting it in a user-owned folder and it converts the owner of the folder to root

>>61974871
yeah it gets stuck on a useless pseudoterminal telling me /dev/sda exists.

>>61975211
It'll only mount read-only now

>>61975241
What's frustrating is that I was able to install using nomodeset but not boot with it. Fuck nvidia and their proprietary bullshit btw

>>61975244
>It'll only mount read-only now
are you sure your drive is ext4? because that is annother problem usually associated with ntfs-drives

>>61975273
whoops I'm retarded, it's ntfs.

>>61975299
you can probably fix the read-only problem with ntfsfix. Try mounting your external drive with your filemanager for me that does some voodoo magic and im the owner of everything on that drive

>>61975271
Can I install the drivers to the drive my installation is on, but through the livecd? Thats the only possible solution I can really come up with since I cant even get into the DE before it freezes

>>61975299
>>61975351
okay i dug around a bit and here is how you do it without voodoo magic:

sudo ntfs-3g -o uid=[youruid] /dev/sdx1 /path/to/mountpoint

you can also change the group with guid=xxx

did you install debian and windows on the same drive? if not just nuke the debian disk and change the bootorder so your windows drive is first again. If you did install them on the same disk https://askubuntu.com/questions/429610/uninstall-grub-and-use-windows-bootloader this link has some suggestions on how to handle grub you can still jsut nuke the debian partition.

All chroot requires is a shell and libc you mong.

Yup, chroot in and use the package manager like normal.

>>61975700
I tried to do that but I keep getting unable to locate package nvidia-current.

I did figure out that using ctrl+alt+f1 at the login screen it brings the terminal up and I can do things from there. That helps. I used

sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current

but that gives the error mentioned. Sorry for my incompetence I'm literally brand new to gnu/linux. How can I tell it to just get the drivers from the official Nvidia servers or whatever?

Which theme would you choose to be the de facto native look for GNU/Linux GUI's if you were in charge?

>>61975815
I don't know about ubuntu bet on debian the metapackage to install is nvidia-driver. It depends on nvidia-kernel-dkms by default which should handle building modules for whatever kernels you have the headers installed for (eg linux-headers-amd64)

Fine Ill rewrite my question in the most basic way. How do I fix "unable to locate package" errors when using apt-get? I already tried apt-get update and it didn't work.

How can I install Grub without an OS?

>>61976061
I'm thinking you've got an os, just no grub or improperly set up grub so it thinks there's no os. boot up a live linux and try chrooting in and reinstalling grub or install lilo

>>61976035

I've actually never had to chroot before, how do I do it?

>>61976056
>>61976056
Please explain how to do that. I literally just used the installer and found the gpu problem.

>>61976108
also, vanilla slackware kinda sucks, I'd suggest salix if you're set on a slack based distro

>>61976134
never actually done it myself either , and just ran chroot --help in terminal but I can't make heads or tails out of it

>>61976156
I don't remember if it's an option when you install or if you have to explicitly download a nonfree iso. but either way, you're likely to have lot's of little issues like this over time, therefore, I'd reccomend you go with one of the buntus. you get nonfree stuff and third party stuff just by checking a couple boxes as you install. and because of it's much larger userbase and launchpad, it's fairly easy to find a solution to any issues you run into.

>>61976134
mount your HDD somewere like /mnt/ then

cd /mnt/
for d in /dev /dev/pts /sys /proc;do mount --bind "$d" "$PWD/$d" ;done
chroot "$PWD"

The bind mounts are so things can find you devices and such. Then do the grub things like grub-install and update-grub.

>>61976199
Thanks, installing Salix now, maybe it will work this time.

>>61976156
If you are on debian just edit /etc/apt/sources.list to have

contrib nonfree

on the end of the lines that have your release on them then apt update and >>61975992

>>61976199
I decided to set down what I was doing. Clearly that's not going to work, and I'm getting way too frustrated. Somehow installing gentoo went better (up until I had to manually fuck with grub) than trying an old copy of ubuntu I had. Ignoring the nvidia autism from the last few hours, if I can mostly get gentoo installed, do I have any hope with calculate-linux? The sane defaults and proper installer are really making me want to try that instead. I literally just want something I can use to figure out gnu/linux before going full manual again with gentoo.

Let's say someone ran a script on your machine. How do you figure out what the script did?

>>61976228
I can't get my liveUSB to execute that second command, what live distro do you recommend?

>>61976848
It is just bash. It shouldn't matter which distro you use. Try adding sudo before mount if it is giving you a "only root can use '--bind' option" error.

>>61968692
what i know is that with gnome ram gets used up for the de (k) but when it reaches the limit (because me wants to use another program) (which is easy to do since gnome uses about 50% of my 2gigs) it doesn't unload it but instead starts swapping which results in poor performance

>>61976835
I guess aside from checking your bash history and downloading the script to see what it does?

>>61977007
It gave me that error, but when I used sudo, it said there was an error because "do" was unexpected.

If there is a space after the command it will execute automatically. When you copy a command make sure that you don't highlight a space after the end.

That is what happens by default. Did you think your shell prralelizes them? If you don't want multiline pastes to execute until you press into enable bracketed paste mode (if you have a decent terminal emulator).

bind 'set enable-bracketed-paste on'

for bash/readline.

I installed Devuan because it doesn't have systemd, but it has a system folder named systemd. Was I tricked?

What does /etc/xdg have to do with desktop environments?
What do you use if you don't have a desktop environment? Just the tty and framebuffer?

>>61978986
>What does /etc/xdg have to do with desktop environments?
xdg is the X desktop group https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ which is where KDE and GNOME collaborate. (Or is it where GNOME implements shit and then has somewhere to point so they can say "look, a spec! KDE is just to slow to implement it but it is definitely the standard, we put on on the wiki ;;)").
>What do you use if you don't have a desktop environment?
A window manager and lots of terminals and shell scripts.

>>61979034

You still didn't explain what the /etc/xdg folder has to do with "desktop environments".
So, your window manager, panel, terminal emulator, wallpaper setter, notifications daemon and other utilities that you have installed don't make up a desktop environment?

Nah, I'm just joking. You're obviously one of those pretentious retards who think that they aren't using a desktop environment. Who think that a desktop environment is only something that's pre-assembled. Do you also claim that it's not a house if you build it yourself, but only when you buy a pre-built one?

>>61978967
Yes I know that. That's not what I asked

>>61979093
Don't be facetious. They asked what /etc/xdg had to do with DEs. I provided a link the group that develops the spec and even provides a vague definition of what a desktop is.
Try actually reading posts before attacking them because you get triggered and make stupid assumptions.

What's a good mid-level distro? I started with Ubuntu but I got to the point where it was easy and I wasn't learning anything.

>>61979162

Openbox is "just a WM" and sources the /etc/xdg directory for programs that put their autostart files there.

>>61979188

You're an idiot. There are no distribution levels.
Every distribution can run the same programs and you can "learn" the same thing on any distribution, apart from how to use their respective package manager.

????

Why is djmount failing on startup? I took install script from aur(im not on arch), did installation steps manually(patched, configured and installed), it mounts fine, but only couple of seconds after login, when i restart service. I guess it has something to do with network. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/djmount.service?h=djmount this is service file, i haven't changed anything. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with NetworkManager, but i don't know what to change.

>>61979188
Distro doesn't matter. You can get to full wizard level on Ubuntu aswell, just learn shell scripting and learn which stuff of the filesystem is where and why. Also do lots of manpage surfing (man something -> see also).

That said, since you know apt already, install Debian.

>>61979280
What about something without systemd? I tried Devuan but had some issues, is SalixOS good?

Can I use a WM in Fedora instead of KDE or GNOME? Systemd puts me off a little so I may just go gentoo.

So I've seen debates about GTK vs Qt on X.
But is it still a coin toss on Wayland or does one have superior Wayland adoption at this point?

>>61979551
Wayland is still shit with dragndrops compared to X.
X is getting a lot better. no more screen tearing too.

I'd prefer Qt apps though. GTK is mostly C so that makes it cool but the development seems to be controlled by red hate. Fuck red hate. KDE > red hate

You mean root permission or root drive?
If you use a separate /home I GUESS it's probably gonna build/download resources first in your /home/username/.cache or some cache depending on your aur helper (i use pacaur so it's probably ~/.cache/pacaur)

if you have separate drive/partition for /home with more free space then this might work

Don't recommend yaourt tho. Try building pacaur and cower then use octopi's AUR to install it.

Seems my OS (kubuntu) was installed somewhat incorrectly - at any rate, I'mr crashing on every SECOND boot up.

Ran boot-repair,

I get this

The boot files of [The OS now in use - Ubuntu 16.10] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot partition:] option of [Boot Repair]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)

If your computer reboots directly into Windows, try to change the boot order in your BIOS.
If your BIOS does not allow to change the boot order, change the default boot entry of the Windows bootloader.
For example you can boot into Windows, then type the following command in an admin command prompt:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi

I think you need to check your efi BIOS and set it to disable secureboot (although i think ubuntu's keys are registered to efi so it should work out of the box, the problem is if your efi keys got rekt before).
Then try to change the boot order from your EFI bios or maybe access your boot menu (F12 usually)

Don't use or install your distro in legacy boot. Ubuntu already support efi.

i3, a window manager, doesn't influence the look of programs.
There are material like themes for GTK.

How can I get whatever would be the output of ctrl+v in a bash variable?

With xclip it outputs nothing unless I set it manually which is a pain.

I want to run a script with input of whatever is in my ctrl+c clipboard.

More specifically: copy youtube video link, press $mod + m in i3 to call a script that opens mpv with clipboard as first parameter.

xclip -out -selection clipboard

>>61984960
also, check the daemon isn't already running
try "pulseaudio -k", then "pulseaudio"

>>61984951
i do that in openbox using;

    <keybind key="W-m">
      <action name="Execute">
        <startupnotify>
          <enabled>false</enabled>
          <name/>

It seems to work well.

I guess the problem was that by default xclip uses the PRIMARY clipboard (the text you selected last) instead of the CLIPBOARD clipboard (^C). Welcome to X.
