Welcome to /flt/, we are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

Hm, I added debug to the end of the line, after the modprobe.blacklist command, and now I'm just getting a black screen with a blinking cursor. Was 'debug' supposed to come before modprobe or something?
I have done your mother
-RMS
>>53661348
I don't think it really makes a difference, you also don't need the modprobe.blacklist anymore because that missing firmware obviously has nothing to do with your problem.
>>53661348
No, just checked, doesn't seem to matter where I place debug on the line, it gives me the same black screen with blinking cursor
Hm
Which POPULAR distros are the most FOSS? Debian?
I know with Debian it includes no propreitary drivers or anything by default, yet RMS still doesn't like them. Would RMS force them to completely remove the nonfree repo, which must be manually activated, to comply with FSF standards?
>>53661375

Ok, now I'm getting a very fast stream of messages which I can't really read properly. But I can make out** 3 printk messages dropped ** [incremental numbers here] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt2860.bin'
and**3 printk messages dropped ** [incremental numbres here] rt something something
and[incremental number here] rt2800pci something something failing to load
Sorry, I can't quite make it out, everything is scrolling very fast
>>53661472
Just wait until you reach your timeout and use shift+pageup/pagedown to scroll.
>>53661472
What does the last message say? That's the important one, where it stopped the process.
>>53661484
Is there a default timeout? Because I haven't set any
>>53661492
Not really timeout, I meant that spot where you encounter the problem you're having of linux not doing anything anymore(nothing else happens).
Can the Nvidia Linux drivers be hacked to work with unsupported GPUs?
>Steam is non-free software. Did you enable the Cannonical partners or however it's called repos?
Yes I did and still no 'Install' option in the Ubuntu Software Center and same error again when I press 'more Info'

Proprietary drivers? I guess you could, it wouldn't be easy though.
You'd have better luck with nouveau.
Attempt 3
I asked this in a previous thread and it didn't get answered
How do I fix the bspwm preselection? Mine shows up as a giant single colored box that covers half of my currently focused window. I want it so that it only highlights the edge/border of the currently focused window, also how do I change the color? also pic related to my problem
>>53661512
Hm, well, even before this testing began and I just booted normally without adding any extra lines - it never seemed to stop. I must have left it on for about half an hour and it was still scrolling through incremental numbers of the same messages saying rt2800pci.bin was failing to load
If it is of any help, Debian explicitly warned me about rt2800pci in the graphical installer and asked me if I had it on some removable media to install it. I didn't, so I just continued on with the install. The first time it booted without any problems. (My computer has both an ethernet connection and a wireless adaptor in case the ethernet isn't available for some reason, so I just used the ethernet for the netinstall)
It's until now that it's giving me issues
So unfortunately I don't see it stopping anytime soon...
I have seen the scrolling suddenly pause for a second or two before continuing, something about falling back to user? and then continuing with the same lines we've been seeing. But I can't quite make it out because it happens very fast.
It's up to the [844]-ish increment now.
>>53661579
Any idea where I'd start?
>>53661587
>2013 + 3
>using the i3 meme
>>53661618
Start with what? Hacking the proprietary drivers?
A degree in CE and years of reverse engineering experience might be a good start.
>>53661568
Funnily, apt-get install steam worked.
Can't install through the Ubuntu Software Center tho?
wutface
>>53661639
it bspwm i probably should have specified
>>53661644
Not necessarily hacking the drivers, just seeing if the install script itself could be fucked around with to force it to install for a card that is no longer supported
What does /flt/ think about <http://www.archhurd.org/> ?
>>53661691
Sounds like a bit of a turd 2bh
>>53661595
>>53661512
>>53661489
>>53661472
It seems to have paused for a bit, not sure how long. Took a picture so at least you guys hopefully get some useful information.
Update: Yup, it's back to scrolling very fast again. Luckily I got this before it continued with the same messages as before.
>>53661685
I think that's done in the binary blob, your typical free driver is usually loaded for a class of devices and probes for the specific one.
Guy above with wireless card for example has a rt2860 and the rt2800(also the rt2x00) drivers probe for which specific card it has, then function based on that.
>no longer supported
Try to find an older version? Maybe the wayback machine has it or nouveau might support it.
>>53661720
Don't know what to tell ya, try one more boot with every thing you can think of blacklisted.modprobe.blacklist=rt2800pci,rt2x00pci,ieee80211 ignore_loglevel
>>53661787
Reason I want to hack a new driver is because the newest one has Mir support, the older ones don't because Nvidia are Jewish niggers
this is more a question for an /sqt/ but there's none active atm.

Yeah...I guess I'll try reinstalling. What a bummer
But how can I add the drivers during the firmware during the install if I don't have it? Download them from my laptop, copy them to a USB and plop it in during install?
Am I better off doing the full iso download instead of the net install? Maybe the full iso includes common network firmware?
>>53661887
*how can I add the firmware during the install,
sorry, typo
>>53661887
I don't think the iso contains any non-free software. This might work:

>>53661902
>>53661887
>>53661859
And also, do I have to take any special precautions with removing grub or something before reinstall? Or will it just get overwritten once I re-install debian?
>>53661691
Absolutly haram.
>>53661918
Just install over it, shouldn't cause any problems.
>>53661660
At least last time I tried it, the software center doesn't have NEARLY all of the packages available through it. You're better off using apt-get or synaptic, anyway.

It used to work just fine but now it won't recognise my wireless device.

I have write, read and executable permissions if I read this correctly. Over any file and folder in the HDD. The thing is I want to limit it to read only.
If I start with sudo it says command not found.. for when I try to mount NTFS HDD to /media/folder with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab this (NTFS section)
>sudo /dev/[disk] /media/[folder] ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
Just gives out 'no command found', if I remove bash it says permission denied.
>>53662452
Yes, but I'm not all that familiar with terminal commands and I don't know where to add '-strict -2'.
with w10 i hvae 60 fps while watching twitch, but with arch only 15fps and sound is lagging behind, what could be wrong?
>>53662478
On your ffmpeg command, like:ffmpeg -strict -2 -i ...
If you really don't like using the command line, try something like handbrake.
>>53662496
Thanks. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just unfamiliar with it and in the process of learning.
>>53662444
Okay after some looking around i loaded the correct kernel module for the device.
So how do i get it to list the kernel module in lspci and have it load it on boot?
sudo vs su?
I use su, I think using sudo outside of specific permissions is misusing it's purpose.
>>53662474
>>sudo /dev/[disk] /media/[folder] ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0

Hello /g/
I have been asked to set up a mail server and a file backup server.
The backup portion would involve the user making up some data, saving it on the user box.
This then syncs to the server where this acts as a backup.
The email portion has 4 addresses for incoming mail, along with 4-5 user address.
Say client 1 sends a request for product A, this then needs to be sent to 1 or 2 user addresses, or more.
Basically I think it needs title-based forwarding.
That's the gist of it, what kind of server would be best? The guy already has a box at someone's house, but it's proven unreliable with crashes, it runs Windows Server of some kind.
I would relocate it to the owner's office.
I've always thought that a VPS would be good, but I've read it really depends on nodemates and other factors.
How can I set up a reliable home server for this guy?
What software should I employ?
I've read about iredmail for the email portion
I thought sshfs or sftpfs (iirc) for the backup portion.
How do I make sure this thing won't die on its own, would a UPS be advisable?
Thank you.

Can you see any wireless interface with "ip link"? If so your driver is loaded.
Did you need to modprobe anything manually for it to happen? If not, udev loaded it automatically and you don't need to do anything else.
Otherwise add a new file /etc/modules-load.d/broadcom.confyour_driver_name
>>53662676
install them, open a terminal and past the url after typing mpv
or use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/

>>53662692
>>53662706
Neat, thx.
>>53662689
If i load the driver manually using modprobe then it works perfectly.
However i need it to do it at boot, i already made a /etc/modules-load.d/wireless.conf file with the modulename (b43) and it doesn't insert it at boot time.
>>53662700
You can't pass mount options like that, use -o. And for the type use mount.<type> or -t. You also likely don't want ro(read only).sudo mount.ntfs-3g /dev/<disk> /mnt
What distro does RMS use?
How about Linus?
Just curious
Functional Linux alternative to Adobe flash player?
>>53662732
Check with lsmod what driver is actually loaded, you can also view the dependency chain. You might not need b43 but another one.
>>53662740
Iirc RMS uses Trisquel cause it's freedoms friendly.
Linux uses Fedora

>I am careful in how I use the Internet.
>I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git://git.gnu.org/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).

It needs to run soon-ish :<
so, to dualboot arch with windows, one of the partitions needs to be FAT32. Does anything have to be on that partition or is it just there so windows detects it?
Let's say I have Windows installed on Disk1(which is split to 3 partitions), I want to install Arch on Disk2, and will probably partition it: /boot, /(in a logical partition), fat32-partition.
How big does this FAT32 partition have to be?
>>53662766
At boot it said it failed to load the modules, and there is a blacklist for some modules in /usr/lib/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl.conf which i then removed.
But it's still failing at boot for whatever reason.
Can't get clear logs from dmesg or systemctl because the logs get rotated too quickly (4gb filesystem)
Any ideas?
I want to start ricing the shit out of my terminal/vim/etc.
a couple dumb questions:

He actually namedrops /g/ in the first minute or so
>>53663135
It's the same. The real terminal is the black console with no GUI. A terminal emulator emulates this so that you can use it from a GUI environment. They all do any colors, you have to choose the colors yourself or you can use a colorscheme that already exists like solarized or something.

>>53663128
okay i had a typo in my modules-load/broadcom.conf so it couldn't load the modules.
Works like a charm now.
>>53663167
He's right. Just look at all the people installing Arch/Gentoo, i3, zsh, oh-my-zsh, plus anime wallpaper, just to fit in to the special snowflake club. It's actually even worse: looking at /g/s desktop thread, there are even rules how to set up your configs. Some things like transparency or bold fonts are sticktly forbidden - in the "not a community" community.

>>53663167
I'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.

my friend and i are making a Debian based Beowulf cluster and are installing the OS on every node
does anyone know/have a guide on how to set up Network booting?
I'm the dual booting Debian and Windows guy, I'm back.
I reinstalled Debian with the non-free-firmware-included netinstall. It stli didn't include the needed rt2860.bin, so I just plopped in the required .deb package with a USB during installatoin. Everything went well.
Now that I rebooted the machine I'm getting a similar issue to before. I boot into Debian, and I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.
If I change the line in the boot process to remove 'quiet', I get:IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[drm] Enabling RC6 states: RC6 on, RC6p off, RC6pp off
e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
And then just a blinking cursor.
The only way to get out of this is CTRL+ALT+DEL, which reboots back into GRUB.
How can I troubleshoot this? It's getting a bit old. At least I'm not lacking firmware anymore, apparently...
>>53663716
And I should mention - right after the install, the initial boot went well. I even posted from IceWeasel there a while back. But after rebooting, I get this problem.
Starting to get a bit desperate, send help
>>53663558
I just wish there was variety, it seems like all they do is install i3/awesome or IceWM, steal a color palette off of dotshare.it, and open a bunch of anime images in feh.

MG279 Asus monitor (identified properly, 1440p and 144hz).

What gives?

I'm experiencing some strange graphical glitches on my netbook running Lubuntu.
Parts of the desktop will suddenly look "glitched" and unreadable. Sometimes mousing over them or scrolling the page will get rid of the artifacts. The ones at the bottom right by the tray won't. I can't really pin down any behavior which causes them to appear, they just do so randomly
What could this be related to?

Hi /g/, I work with Linux in AI and other experimental fields, until now I was using ubuntu LTS to get the maximum compatibility since a lot of university/experimental stuff is available for it. I need a fresh install and I was tempted to go with Debian stable, I was just wondering if there were any downfall to that?

I'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.

What's a good distro for KDE? I heard Fedora breaks KDE from time to time because of Gnome and OpenSuSE is buggy for me (plymouth doesn't work with free drivers, random delay in startup, ignores touchpad settings). What else is out there that works without being so outdated like Kubuntu?

Dude, just install the distro you want and install KDE. It's literally one command.

I like Gnome, but Gnome doesn't like me
>>53666295
>Gnome
Yeah, fuck Gnome. I moved away from Gnome when 3 came out. I've been running customized MATE+Compiz for awhile now. The only issues I experience are with kernel updates occasionally breaking graphics. But an uninstall and re-install of the kmod packages fixes it.

The reason why I like Gnome is that for a while, Gnome was the only DE that supported an easy way to do HiDPI scaling (Although, this is equally a Fedora thing as well).
If I have a wifi driver module installed and loaded, can there be a reason why I would need to install a wifi firmware package in addition?

Is there a easy way to fix this?

>Ever getting a driver from Nvidia instead of your distro repository
Hey guys. Once again, guy who was dual booting Windows and Debian here.
I found the source of my problems: apparently I was completely fucking up X when I was installing my NVIDIA non-free drivers without configuring them properly, causing the system to complete shit the bed when rebooting.
Right now I'm on a fresh (third) install of Debian trying to do things right for once. I also made a backup live USB in case I make a mistake again, so at least I can have access to internet and my files while fixing it.
Lesson learned: Never just blindly follow advice from random forum users (I read one about installing NVIDIA drivers that was just completely wrong and ended up fucking myself over because of blind trust.)
