Welcome to /fglt/. 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.

Did not work out.
Now then doing install all over again aaand, after mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home it says
Mount: mount point /mnt/home does not exist
Then how am I supposed to add home?
>>54308044
Do I just need to create it?
>>54308044
>>54308079
yes: mkdir /mnt/home
there's a flag for the mount command that does this automatically, I'm sure.. but I don't know it atm
>>54308113
Oooh I get it now, and that is why I printed mkdir for boot. Thank you all a ton, I'm really greatful
Previous thread was >>54289841
I fucked up.
Ok so maybe you guys can help me cause looking online has not helped at all.
I installed ubntu over my Win 7 installation partly cause my drive just needed to be wiped, and partly because I wanted to try linux.
After playing on Linux for a bit, I realized that there are two programs that I really need that are only on Windows, so I want to dual boot my Ubuntu with Win 10 now.
I have two boot drives with Win 10 and my Ubuntu distro.
For some reason, even after installing and setting up grub it does not detect ANY bootable usb drive.
Non at all. I have changed tons of settings of my motheboard trying to get it to work, but it doesn't.
Boot repair doesn't work. I have googled and tried this for so long now, probably reset over a hundred times in the past two or three days trying to get this to work.
Anyone have any ideas whats up?
>fucking around with SSH
>realise I can forward x11
That's fucking awesome. Does it require a desktop environment at all or is this seperate?
>>54308044
>>54308003
You dont want /home in /mnt
you want /home in your root directory /
Listen to what i say.Use blkid,it will save you problems down the road as you learn linux
For future knowledge,you need to make the folder in /mnt because you can mount it.
So,mkdir /mnt/data then mount /sdXY /mnt/data

I am trying to get Content-MD5 directive working on apache2.
I tried to edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and addContentDigest On
After reload & restart, it doest not return Content-MD5 header.
I tried also to edit sites-available VirtualHost, but no luck again.
What am I doing wrong?
>>54308231
I think he was talking about the part of the installation where you are supposed to mount it under /mnt/home, though I'm somewhat confused what he is actually trying to do
>>54308013
How do I get Chromium to show thumbnails in the file picker?
>>54308283
You dont need to mount home when you're installing,as nothing goes there.The install is only touching root. So mount /dev/sdX to /mnt
Then chroot in to /mnt and finish the install.
You dont need to mount /home now but make sure you put it in your fstab for when you reboot.

>>54308198
You don't need a DE or X11 on your SSH server, but you do need it on your client.
The program on your server will connect to the X11 server running on your client, through the SSH connection.
This takes a lot of bandwidth and can be slow.
>>54308488
>You don't need a DE or X11 on your SSH server, but you do need it on your client.
Ah interesting, more things I can cut down on then. I'm still figuring out what I actually need.
Yeah I noticed messing around with virtualbox window over SSH makes network usage spike to ~20mb/s. I've managed to lower it a bit using compression.
Is it pretty much unusable over the internet?
PacBang vs ArchBang?
>>54308198
You obviously need an X session running to forward it.
>>54308571
>install arch like it's meant to be used
>install openbox
>problem solved
Also, if you have to ask: you probably don't need it.
>>54308541
>Is it pretty much unusable over the internet?
In my experience it's pretty slow. You wouldn't want to use it as a substitute for running a program locally.

thanks anyway, anon
I want to install Arch with a few engineering software packages on one of my workstations. The problem is my university limits our internet usage to a retardedly low amount.
I'm wondering if it's possible to take my SSD home and install linux with all the packages I need on it and generate the fstab files to make it bootable.
Has anyone ever done anything like this before? Can I do it from my current installation without using livemedia?
Void or Arch?
>>54308989
void if you don't like systemd, arch otherwise. It's possible to run arch without systemd, but I never managed to because of lack of tutorials
>>54308986
Only if /boot / /home are all on the same partion. You wouldn need to fuck with other drives.
If they have special hardware,you will need to make sure its supported in your kernel,or you may need to compile it your self and patch it
>university limits
Thats the bigger problem,how can they expect anyone to get shit done educationally,if they cap educat ion

it depends on your usecase. Best for servers, yes.

They fucking capped me at 1GB. This IT department is retarded and thinks we're still in the 80s, my previous institution gave me unlimited access even as a lowly undergrad. I'm just going to get my own wifi set up eventually.

>>54308986
Also found there's actually a good wiki article on this. Sweat.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_existing_Linux
>>54309126
During installation, Arch downloads not more than 150MB for the base system. With Xorg and some desktop environment packages it shouldn't be more than 250MB. You can then download the other packages at your home with the -w flag and install them on your workstation later (pacman -U). Just make sure you also get the dependencies.
>>54309121
isn't rhel best for servers?
>>54309186
Stop asking such cringe-worthy, meaningless questions. Why would it be "the best"? What does "best" even mean? You're doing nothing but propagating myths and misinformation.

So what are the advantages of using let's say Ubuntu over Arch with only the fonts, drivers, the DE of choice and basic software I use?
What does a kernel exactly do? At which events do I know "this was done by the kernel"?
>>54309421
Makes the hardware talk to the software
>>54309421
I don't properly understand the underlines but here's a story to help you:
When I moded my PSP even tho my firmware was let's say version 3.5 and I was able to run 3.5 homebrew apps and new games, becaue of the differences in kernels I couldn't run firmware 1.5 apps
So I could choose to boot with 1.5 kernel but keep using the 3.5 features - everything else such as UI.
A kernel is the "soul" of the thing.
>>54309421dmesg -T
>>54309459
>>54308796
fuck me. the easiest way is to concatenate variables.
>>54309421
Correct me if I'm wrong:
As far as I know, a kernel is a translator. Software speaks softwarish, hardware hardwareish, the kernel tells each other what they are saying. Sometimes some hardware doesn't tell what words it understands. Then you need a language plugin such as propritary firmware.
Pls help.

Is there a good laser printer that is compatible with raspberry pi 3 using archlinux?
I made a whole thread about it and then realized this one exists.
I'm trying to set up a virtual machine through KVM on Ubuntu. I'm completely clueless about OSes and their inner workings in general, so this question might be kinda stupid.
I have two partitions, one ext4 which is where I installed Linux, and a "shared" NTFS partition because I didn't know if I'd ever dual boot. Should I use an ext4 filesystem, or can I use my shared partition? Do I have anything to lose or gain from using one or the other?

RHEL is used because enterprise software is made specifically for it. I prefer .deb distros most of the time because I don't need to mess with third party repositories for basic stuff.

take it to the friendly windows thread kiddo
>>54311192
i ask here because clonezilla is a gnu/linux based software
if there actually is a windows thread id gladly take it there too tho lol
>>54311169
Your current kernel does not support it
is there any way that I can have tray icons/applets show up on the left side of the i3bar instead of the far right?
>>54311248
if you use the live version of clonezilla then sure, why wouldn't it work? the system requirement of software is just if you're not using the live version, which i don't understand why anyone would do
>>54311333
Windows installation media may be needed to run Startup Repair and get it to boot after cloning. Windows can be weird like that.
>>54311333
Because the system requirements I posted are from the clonezilla live page
http://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php
>>54311362
I'm not looking to clone, I'm looking to recover my hard drive in case I fuck up my os
>>54311391
>>54311391
that page is a little old I think, and if you read on down the page, those requirements are just for creating the liveusb/cd of clonezilla because yes some people are foolish enough to think they can they can somehow download and create a liveusb/cd without an os/after they've fucked their os beyond repair. you gotta remember to take normies into account
if I'm adding a second drive to my pc just as a simple large volume should I just use "defaults" as the options?
>>54311460
I was thinking the same thing
Mind you I'm quite the normie myself, so I thought if the page is old, the software must be just as outdated, so maybe they didn't make the upgrades required for it to work with newer windows
I will assume you know what you're talking about and go through with it shortly though
The other thing I was wondering is does it have to be installed on it's own drive completely?
Or can I install it on the same external hard drive I want to put the backup image on

>>54311635
you can install it to a flash drive or cd, then save the image wherever you like
>>54311731

how stable is neon relative to kubuntu?

weird-ish issue.
On a cold boot on my laptop, my wifi card is disabled, and won't connect on boot. The only way I've found to turn it on is to start dhcpcd, but I still can't connect using wifi-menu. In order to connect, I have to reboot, and then use wifi-menu.
this laptop has an fn-key combo to turn the card on and off that doesn't work in linux, but there's a led that indicates wifi status. it's red, until i start dhcpcd, and then it's white. if I wait too long after starting dhcpcd, it turns off, and even restarting won't help wifi-menu work.
how the fuck did I mess this shit up?
using arch, naturally.

here's a video about Linux running in weird appliances
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPbAXKMCDkY
>>54317799
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.
>>54317852
yeah anon, but in this video I think they're actually referring to the kernel itself and not just GNU/Linux distros (in some cases at least)
>>54317990
a kernel alone can't do anything
>>54318016
but the Linux kernel can do stuff without all of the GNU stuff
>>54318076

>Linux is used by itself, or with small other programs, in some appliances. These small software systems are a far cry from the GNU/Linux system. Users do not install them on PCs, for instance, and would find them rather disappointing. It is useful to say that these appliances run just Linux, to show how different those small platforms are from GNU/Linux.
>>54318136
No matter how small the software system is, a kernel needs a layer/an operating system to work. Let's say you want to run Linux to control a smart-TV, you need something like busybox that does the actual job. The kernel itself just translates between soft- and hardware.
>>54301075
First, I am glad to say it works properly on my machine. I'm on arch btw. I see no reason it won't work on mint. The tagging is perfect in a trial of ~100 images. That is images that are on the database are tagged properly and images not are in the database are left alone (ie no random tags are added). I also changed it so that ' become a ' which you may not want since some people get upset about 's in filenames. You could change it to 's/'//'.
I also have the minimumsimilarity=85 in .saucetagger.conf. A bit lower would probably still work.
I don't know why it doesn't work for you. I thought you were trying to run it on windows or something. Can you do "bash -x iqdb_tagger" (or whatever you named it) and post the output? If you want to execute it directly, have you done something like "chmod 700 iqdb_tagger && ./iqdb_tagger"? There are no syntax errors to stop it from running.
Here's my modified version (there are some pointless changes), I'm probably still going to make more changes to it though.

Nope. You can have your proprietary application as init from ramdisk. Don't even need a real filesystem.

I installed Linux Mint recently, and I want to change my window manager to openbox from Muffin. Can I run Openbox instead of Muffin, but still use Cinnamon DE?
>>54318750
I found i3 effortless, but I didn't like how windows couldn't be resized by exact rows/columns, so I went back to XFCE. I like to make my editor window exactly as wide as my current project's style guide dictates.
>>54318823
I mean the controls were intuitive but the thing that killed me was having to use mod+d to get stuff up and running. I am somewhat proficient in linux, but I do not know the names of all the utilities for like wifi connections and whatnot. I'll definitely continue to use it on my X220 though.
>>54318769
Yes, but what's the point? What do you think Openbox will do different than Muffin?

I've got Manjaro on laptop. On laptop screen everything is okay, but when I connect the external monitor via the hdmi, I've got screen tearing on it. My GPU is Ati Moblity Radeon HD 4570 and my monitor is Samsung SyncMaster P2270HD. On Ubuntu I had the same problem. Is it possible to fix it?
I'm using Linux Mint w/ Openbox. It's forced me into using natural scrolling and persists, even when I disable it in multiple places.
So I had teamviewer installed on ubuntu for a few days and got rid of it earlier.
I still have things running in connection with teamviewer. Under running processes I get
>C:\windows\system32\services.exe
and pic related are the files and connections it uses. Whats going on here?
>>54321628
For some reason Teamviewer seems to close without ending the wineserver. You can correct this usingwineserver -k. This should stop all *exe's.
Reminder that if you use Red Hat Systemd Gnome Linux (that is, mostly every distro except Gentoo, Slackware, Void and some thers), you are part of the cancer killing GNU/Linux.
Hello /g/
How do I disable UUID check or something like that that prevents me from booting into Manjaro from another PC
>>54321709
Good, let the hate flow through you.
>>54321664
Wine isn't even installed, unless teamviewer had some sort of wine included. sudo wineserver -k gives me a command not found error.
Gentoo/Funtoo needs to die. It's a huge piece of crap meme, developed by a Windows + Google Chrome using retard. https://usesthis.com/interviews/daniel.robbins/
You can recompile and customize everything you want on literally every GNU/Linux distro. There's no need to compile half a day for every single browser update. Most gentoo users use binaries for things that take too long - and miss the whole point of using Gentoo/Funtoo: being meme'd.
So I'm pretty much ready to switch to Ubuntu full time, as pretty much everything I want is supported, except for League of Legends. However, it doesn't run in WINE as well as it does on Windows by a pretty wide margin, so I'd like to do some form of GPU passthrough to run League. How do I go about doing this?
>>54314313
>>54314338
you're asking for it
>post your i3 config
>>54321913
It's probably easier to customize on a distro geared towards it.
>>54321928
Open GAME.CFG ( Game/DATA/CFG/Defaults ) and replace "[MouseOverEffect]" "Style = 2" to "Style = 0" and every "Glow = 2" to "Glow = 0".
This should fix graphic errors with WINE.

Hey
I broke some themes in Cinnamon. Control selection has a lot of blank options, (only 2 actually work, Adwaita and contrast high) when I choose the blank ones only colors change, most shapes are not shown.
I guess installing custom control themes can fix this issue but I don't know how to do that either.
Can you guys help?

There are a lot of vendors that will only support their package if it's on a RHEL based distro (RHEL,Fedora,CentOS)

So, we deduct points for the site even though the error lies with LibreJS, great logic they have.
>>54324205
do you know what librejs does? it protects users from non-free javascript. if the site doesn't work properly without proprietary javascript it, in the eyes of the fsf, doesn't care about their users freedom.

So, either this estimation is wrong or LibreJS is not working as intended.
Hi /fglt/ guys, I would ask about a single question I can't make it through.
Someone had the issue of when running distros in a virtual machine (hyper-v in my case) the OS doesn't recognize "the screen"? I wanted to mess around with res and some shit, but apparently, my OS thinks there's no screen connected.
Can I have some help? I can provide what you need.
>>54308358
Infinity pretty much
I don't know, but -
I once tried Icecat and was confronted with LibreJS, making half of the web not working. Then I read a bit about nonfree javascript and as far as I can see, these "nonfree" scripts are mainly just obsfucated aka minified scripts (makes sense to speed up page loading) or am I wrong?
>>54324331
My real question is: How does Javascript violate my four freedoms?
>>54324367
it runs non-free code on YOUR computer.
javascript in itself is not a problem, proprietary javascript is.
>>54324384
What exactly makes it non-free?
>>54324392
being licensed under a non-free license usually.
>>54324401
What if the HTML code of a website is copyright'd? /r/ing LibreHTML!
>>54324401
wut. Does that mean LibreJS searches through the code about license strings?!
>>54324432
Free code is copyrighted as well.

What can this be? any ideas?
