My laptop has dual GPU (integrated intel HD graphics and dedicated Nvidia). What should I know before I try to install GNU/Linux?

Will I want to kill myself trying to make them work? Is there a version of Nvidia Control Panel for GNU/Linux to choose which programs use each GPU?

As it is now, they just barely work on windows. I would need them to at least barely work as they do now.

By the way, I haven't set on a distro yet, but I'm leaning towards Devuan. The DE should be KDE Plasma.

cool shirt, but what kind of retard wears something that looks like a razor blade as jewellery?

I want to experiment with smb multichannel. I have a ubuntu server with 2x nics, a desktop with 1x nic so far but about to buy a second and I have a managed switch.

So far I've been trying to get the 2x NICs working on the linux box but I don't really know enough about networking, thought it was just a case of assigning an IP to both NICs but I was told that I need to set up some kind of routing between them?

The NICs have 192.168.0.15/16 assigned respectively. What kind of routing do I need to setup? I can draw a network map if it helps but it's a piss easy setup.

Broadband router -> switch -> Desktop and server

G-guise, I am stuck at the last part of Arch installation. When I tried to install grub on /dev/sda1, it tells me that ext2 file systems are incompatible with embedding. I am perfectly sure that I formatted that partition with mkfs.ext4, what gives? Also, I had to specify the target as i386-pc, how do i specify it as amd64?

Anyone tried this Arch install script before want to give me their impressions?

the linux filesystem

I use compton to get rid of screen tearing and on debian 9 xfce it just stops working and the tearing gets really nasty. If I kill the compton process, the whole DE freezes and only thing that I can do is move the cursor. Usually it works like 10 minutes after startup. Full screen videos tend to stop the compton process. I use integrated intel gpu. The glx command doesn't work so I use a conf file. Wat do? Everything else works like a charm but tearing is a constant pain in the ass.

Only idiots are enchanted by random PKGBUILD collections aka the AUR.
"Lightweight" is a buzzword only idiots fall for.
Only idiots have the need to reinstall their OS more than once, which renders your installation argument moot.
Only idiots use Arch installers because they only introduce bugs and are against the core principle of avoiding useless abstractions.

ubuntu user here, does anybody have the same problem?

i always got my software via terminal, apt or apt-get, however i did occasionally install software via the GUI program (mainly those security updates that pop up every once in a while).

now i cant install any new software, i always get an error that the dependencies are missing.
i tried

sudo apt-get install -f

i looked at my /etc/apt/sources.list and couldnt find anything missing.

any help or a push in the right direction what to look for?

Another anon had a similar-ish problem in the previous thread (>>62377275). It seems to be a problem with how the vmware driver interacts with xrandr.

Basically, you need to find the startup file that launches the WMs and then make it launch with xrandr before i3 starts.

Just use your file browser instead. Have a hotkey bound to open it up, find your file, drag and drop to any file upload box. That's how I do it, for now at least.

It's not actually a bug, they just refuse to implement it for some reason.

Tried it. No dice. Even lightdm's login manager resizes correctly but i3 bites the dust after that. Most likely i3 is just bugged shit with VMware. Tried awesomewm right now, everything's okay.

Oh, shit, you guys were right. Used feh to reset it and it's gone. Thanks. Fucking canonical.

I'm trying to set up my raspberry pi 3 with SSH using keys. I found a tutorial (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12370), but it's using the default key size. I would like to use 4096 bytes keys. So what I need to do is revert my steps, but I don't really know much about what happens under the hood. I'm on the newest headless raspbian release, and ran:

# ssh-keygen
(not as root like in the tut, but as my user which has rights equal to the default Pi user)

How do I revert this step?
info ssh-keygen gave me no options to remove the generated keys. Is it enough to just delete the .ssh directory they were put in, or are there references to these files elsewhere that also need to be removed?

I have loads of Windows experience but I'm a total noob on linux, so please be gentle, senpai!

I can agree with that. I'm currently using Ubuntu because it was the install medium I had laying around (I keep it on a USB stick so people can try it out if they seem interested) and I'm a lazy, lazy man.

>>62389048
Arch, Debian, Gentoo are the best distros. GuixSD is the future.

>>62389048
>the best distro
Always the one I'm currently using.

>>62389048
>best distro
Basically all these distros floating around try to fit someone's needs. If Debian Sid fits your needs, its the best distro for you. The best distro for someone else may be Gentoo, someone else prefers Trisquel, and somene else just likes Slackware. It all depends on your needs.

More seriously, I don't really see the problem. Sure, Nouveau is faster at basic shit, but Nvidia is fine there.

If you really need Nvidia to be better, then play with the settings in nvidia-settings. Also see:

How does the startx command actually work? I did a fresh install of Xorg and i3 on Debian, and writing startx will start i3. I haven't edited any configuration files, so how does it know that I want to start i3?

>>62391676
It is a shell script, you can open it in a text editor and find out. From memory it uses /etc/session.d to decide it has some heuristics but generally uses the configured alternatives for x-session-manager, x-window-manager, x-terminal-emulator in order. I3 goes linked to x-window-manager when installed.

Hi there, is there an interface from Kafka to libnotify, so that I can see messages of certain topics from my servers directly as desktop notification on my dev machine?

>>62378430
Debian or Arch.

>>62391759

Ah, thanks for the information. I didn't know about the "alternatives". So if I would change the x-window-manager link, startx would start something else?

>>62391676
startx uses ~/.xinitrc or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

>>62392095
you should have a .xinitrc file in your home
If you dont , create it and put exec i3 in the file.

>>62392114
>>62392115

I know that's the usual way to do it, I was just surprised how i3 started without having to edit the xinitrc file.

How do I log in to my Raspberry Pi through SSH using multiple key pairs, one for each client I use to log in? Do I generate a new key pair on the client and put the new public key together with the old one on the server? In the same file? In a new file? I'm missing so many small details, and 2 hours of googling haven't addressed these questions.

>>62391279
The problem is, its sily smooth for 95% of people with the same driver, yet for me its dog shit. Why?

>>62383006
Just use Void or try a minimal installation of OpenSUSE Tumnleweed.

>>62392399
ssh-copy-id -i "Identity File" user@raspberrypi (default user on raspberrypi is 'pi')

This will copy an ID on your raspberry pi and allow you to log in with it (you still need the password for the first time)
create the keys with 'ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa -C "Comment. Maybe the machine it's from" ' on the local machines you want to connect from.

Linux noob here, can anyone lend me a hand? Using Antergos + XFCE4, both my backlight and my volume freeze after each adjustment when I use either function keys or applet (default PulseAudio Plugin + PavuControl).

>>62392511
I'm on windows on all my computers, so I'll have to use PuTTY to generate the keys (I should have specified this). I guess this would have worked no problem in GNU/Linux, but I think the process will be a bit different for Winblows users like me. But many thanks for the great info!

>>62392450
It's not though. I think everyone has those issues with proprietary NVidia

>>62392535
MuPDF

>>62392586
Ok on the raspberry pi there is a file (or you have to create it) ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
You have to copy the contents of the publics keys in there (google the format or use the ssh-keygen and 'ssh-copy-id -i private_key pi@localhost' on the raspberry pi to generate the file and with some kees and see how it looks, it's really simple).

The private keys stay on your machine will be used to log in.

Can I install Nvidia drivers during the installation of Ubuntu? I don't have an IGPU.

>>62392756
Thanks. I already set up access from my main home computer, and it works like a charm. So I just have to add subsequent generated keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, whatever way possible, and it should work with the new private key on the new comp? Thank you so much for the help, I appreciate it.

>>62392225
If you have a display manager, it can launch i3.

>>62392902
no problem, I remember how long it took me to research this when I first set up my remote machine.
Just copy paste the keys and make sure the format is right and it will be fine
