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.

After years of ubuntu and mint I want to try something a bit different, maybe with KDE as my de. What should I look at?
>>54406789
Arch + KDE
>>54406789
cou already know ubuntu so maybe kubuntu?
if you want something completely different you could try this site https://distrochooser.de/?l=2
>>54406789
Opensuse Tumbleweed for KDE the way it's meant to be used(tm) (Suse is to KDE what Red Hat is to Gnome).
Don't use Kubuntu, it generally isn't regarded as a good KDE distro. Also it's sponsored by Blue Systems, based on Ubuntu sponsored by Canonical, which is based on Debian. That's 3 entities that potentially can fuck up the distro somewhere.
If you want Debian based then just use Debian unstable.

I've noticed that rsnapshot doesn't delete files in destination if deleted from source.
Shouldn't the .sync folder always be identical to source when using sync_first? As far as I understand only the changes are copied to the rotated backup folders and files that stay the same get linked back to the .sync folder to safe space.

Time has finally arrived for me to make my own file server (le cloud XDD). I got hold of an useless 2TB external HDD. I am going to build a $200 modest PC as well.
Problem is I don't have an external monitor. How can I install GNU/Linux into the hard drive without a monitor?
Is there any way to use my Android tablet for this?

Was thinking about that but I'm a total noob about arch
I suppose this is thread to ask this in.
Should I use Linux?
I have a pretty beefy custom PC and I'm running Windows 10 which I'm pretty satisfied with.
All I do is graphic design, Photo and Video Editing in Adobe Applications like Premier Pro and Illustrator and Photoshop.
I also do a shit ton of gaming.
That's all I use my PC for though, currently I'm thinking I should stick with Windows because most games are compatible with Windows but I don't think most are with Linux.
Am I wrong?
Does xorg-server<1.18.0 means i have to downgrade my xserver?
i never thought i'll struggle that much to install drivers and catalyst lmao
>>54408118
from a technical point of view: stick with Windows.
from an ethical point of view: Windows 10 is making you a product, taking away your right to do what you want with your computer and utterly disregarding your privacy. Every second you spend using it is a second spend in digital slavery. Install Gentoo.
>>54408118
wait, you only use your computer for these? like nothing else?
what are you posting from?
I'd recommend a dedicated shitpost thinkpad for internet usage and everyday use, put whatever runs your proprietary garbage on that computer.
if you are willing to switch to GNU/Linux you should search for alternatives to your programs before that. prism-break.org and the installgentoo wiki (read the OP) can help you with that.
>>54408145
post the whole message or a screenshot.
which gpu do you use? does the proprietary driver even make sense on it?
Why the command shred says it is not useful in EXT3? It's because of journaling? Should I use BleachBit instead?
So I made the jump from windows to ubuntu and love it so far. Came across rsnapshot and used it happily for a few weeks until I realised that rsnapshot is not deleting files in the destination folder when deleted from the source folder.
Syntax is okay,sync_first is enabled and I've double and triple checked /etc/rsnapshot.conf and the cron job. If I run sudo rsnapshot sync the folders get synced. If I use sudo rsnapshots then the folders get rotated, files and folders get added but deleted files still remain in .sync folder.
>>54408145
Are you using Ubuntu 16.04?
It dropped support for some AMD drivers.
>>54408217
>post the whole message or a screenshot.
im using radeon HD7850 on antergos, when i'm trying to install catalyst it says xorg-server requires xf86-input-efdev AND are in conflict
then it has error about X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION

Hello /g/
I have a fairly clean install of arch Linux and can't get LightDM to start-up at boot
Systemctl enable lightdm doesn't do anything but systemctl start lightdm does start-up lightdm as expected
Any help?

Thank you.
But I think I shouldn't download torrents now, because I'm not at home.

TL;DR: Website compromised by shills. Not even prism-break is safe from telemarketers.
after changing keyboard layouts in i3. mod + numbers, or mod + shift+number, doesn't work anymore, so i can't into workspaces now. Wat to do?
>>54408815
Do you think we should remove that link? I think it's still better to have some source for such software, even with shilling added.
>>54408869
Modify the config. Maybe your Mod key isn't your Mod key anymore or anything related. The archwiki page for i3 is also pretty helpful. In case you can't reach anything, because your hotkeys are completly fucked, hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and use the tty.
>>54408875
Keep it. In the world today there is almost no shill-free space, and shills are smart enough to take our retreat at their advantage.
>>54408875
The website is good enough, we just have to educate people on not trusting everything they see on the internet, not even take "friendly advice" for granted.

I was wondering as well what the problem was. Had the same issue with something else (openssh). It's a tiny bit confusing that to enable something you should enable XYZ.service, but to disable it you only need to disable XYZ ^^
After watching some of Stallman's talk online I'm convinced to try free software because I've always felt sick of being watched and my privacy breached (keyboard suggestions recommending things to me based on what I type, products being suggested to me based on things I've said around friends even though there's no way it'd be the first search suggestion)
I've decided to start with my old laptop but not sure where to begin, I don't want to use Ubuntu since Canonical isn't going to respect my privacy and other distributions seem intimidating to say the least. I also need it to play my 2hus
>>54409918
Leaving out .service assumes that you're dealing with the .service file. It's usually only needed for .socket or other units.
>>54410029
it makes you a more experienced noob and a helpful noob i guess.
>>54410181
debian is one of the more freedom aware distros while still having an additional repo for nonfree stuff that you might need for your animu needs or something.

I'm trying to migrate my Windows 7 Thunderbird client to my new and shiny Ubuntu Thunderbird client.
This is what I tried:
>deleted the content of the Ubuntu profile folder
>copy and pasted the content of the Windows folder, inside the Ubuntu folder

>saw all the content of the profile folder changing
>the client starts as a new profile, no content, no settings, nothing
How is the proper way to do this?

Why the fuck do you have 30 mounts? You should linux kernel meta filesystems like sysfs, procfs, ... and your devices.
>>54412414
data=ordered, it doesn't journal data so you can use shred.
As for the release date, just do shred --version. I'm on 8.25, I think that's the latest. It shows (C) 2016.
>>54412481
Also the data=journal problem has nothing to do with shred, that other tool you wanted to use probably wouldn't do anything about it either.
>>54412444

Anyway, you can use scripts for nautilus, scripts for ranger or whatever filemanager you're using.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering 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.

If you don't want our help, get the fuck out off this thread.
>>54413122
no richard, it's just linux and the only reason you want it to be gnu/linux is because your fatass can't het hurd to stable
>>54413142
I'm not even that guy but saying you're using linux wrong if you want a fucking gui is just pants on head retarded, why don't you fuck off instead

Hello reddít.
>>54413182
hello fuckboi
here's the deal: i have a 10y old laptop which doesn't have a hdd, cdrd and bios doesn't have an option to boot from usb which i want to do. i have an external floppy drive so i followed some googled instructions, made a grub boot loader and the floppy works fine. the problem is that laptop still refuses to see the pendrive ("root" or "geometry" detect only the fd) and i'm pretty much stuck. do you have any ideas how to make it work?
Trying to install Lubuntu on an old laptop and this keeps happening, anyone know what the problem is?
need to install arch by tomorrow, if not im fucked, No OS on machine to do work and all i have is an arch usb, never installed arch before, wat do
>>54413307
video drivers
do you have an amd gpu?
>>54413337
install arch or get fucked
what kind of answer did you expect faggot?
be a little more careful next time and plan such operations in advance
>>54413359
got any guides, and yeah i Will be in the future
>>54413340
No, NVIDIA
>>54413416
wiki
>>54413425
then it's obvius. Opensource nvidia drivers for linux are garbage, the proprietary ones are decent.
Disconnect the nvidia GPU, finish the installation process using your internal GPU, plug in your discrete GPU back and install proprietary drivers for it.
On lubuntu it should be quite easy
>>54406864
OpenSUSE tumbleweed is objectively the worst distribution with the most lack-luster devs, if you want an up to date distribution that provides bleeding edge software Fedora is a superior choice
>>54413272
guys? please?
i'd rather not buy raspi
>>54413630
why can't you just stick a hdd in it?
>>54413651
because the ide port is damaged and fucks up any hdd plugged to it
>>54413463
How am i suppose to do that on a laptop
>>54413610
7 hours later someone replies to my post, wow :)
Fedora 23 still has an old version of Plasma (5.5 I think), which is why I wouldn't recommend Fedora for a KDE experience.
I recommended Tumbleweed because at least a rolling distro will have the current version of Plasma
setxkbmap -layout "us, ru" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
this command allows me to swap between english and russian using alt and shift
the problem is that the 'ru' over there doesn't stand for phonetic alphabet, so the letters are formatted as if they were on a writing machine
any of you guys now how 'phonetic russian' or phonetic anything really would look so that i can put in the line above?
>>54413145
>>54413786
it's ru(phonetic)
кeк )))
>>54413675
then it's pretty much scrap, you can get a decent refurbished laptop off of newegg for like eighty bucks or so
Sup /flt/, I'm trying to build morituri on Debian testing, but for some reason I don't have gst on python. They have a link that apparently explains what to do, but it gives me some bullshit of "privileges are required to perform this operation." Anyway I can fix this? I'm looking at installing some other packages or simply using an alternative since I want to rip some stuff.
Today on GNU/TV:

Is it okay to remove i3 after installing i3-gaps? They're conflicting.
>>54414507
yes, since i3-gaps is just i3 recompiled, for gap support or whatever
>>54414295
https://packages.debian.org/sid/python-gst-1.0
That's pythons gst bindings and should be the build dep.
There is also a package in exp.
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/morituri
I can't help you more since you don't actually provide any information, about what happens when you try to compile, why can't you install gstreamer bindings for python etc.
You could also read the wiki for suggestions and advice.
https://wiki.debian.org/Ripping
>>54414651
I appreciate the help, but I did install that package. I'm getting a bit of a headache, I think I'll just enable the experimental repo despite them saying I shouldn't have franken Debian. Morituri apparently builds fine, the thing is that after what appears to be finishing the rip, it later puts out this message:WARNING: pycdio not installed, cannot identify drive
Could not import python module 'gst'
This module is part of GStreamer Python bindings.
See http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org for more information.
On Debian GNU/Linux testing (stretch), gst does not know how to install morituri.
Please file a bug at:
http://thomas.apestaart.org/morituri/trac/newticket?summary=DEP%3A%20gst%2C%20Debian%20GNU/Linux%20testing%20%28stretch%29
with instructions on how to install the dependency so we can add it.
Please install gst and try again.
You can confirm it is installed by starting Python and running:
import gst
I looked at the warning during the build and it did mention that it couldn't find gst, but it passed the test anyway.

I want to punch Bryan's face 24/7. This dumb fuck. There's a follow up show ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn9WWVmINGg second half ), where he tries telling people that the GPL "restricts" freedom, rather than protecting it (what it actually does). Then he's showing the FSF supporter page and yells "LOOK GOOGLE, ORACLE, THEY'RE SUPPORTING HIM", calls rms hypocrite for allowing companies (which create propritary software) to support the FSF. Jesus christ. This guy. neo /g/ in one person; a funny, brainless clown.
>>54415141
gpl is here have this but you gotta do something for me bullshit
mit is superior here have this and do what you want freedom
>>54415249
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Just stop posting.
Should I install Funtoo, Arch (getting tired of it want to move on to something else), or Debian/Xubuntu
>>54415258
>b-b-ut I"m not wrong you're just retarded
ok bruh, you can't attach strings to something and believably call it freedom
>>54415289
The GPL doesn't restrict you in any way or asks you for doing something in return. The difference the GPL makes is that it proptects software in a way, so no company can come along and close the source code (make it propritary) of your software.
WTFPL, BSD any many other licenses fail here and this is why many companies use BSD - but in the end, allowing other people to take the freedom away isn't freedom anymore and fails the whole purpose when you choose a free license.
>>54415273
Why not trying a free distro? Trisquel is pretty much Ubuntu-like, or if you want to go the Arch way: Parabola.
>>54414861
Yeah, I give up. Even debian's package from the experimental suite isn't doing it. I'm just going to use another one. Any recommendations? I think the wiki only has rubyripper and morituri.

>the gpl doesn't restrict your freedom
bullshit, it restricts the freedom of not just companies but of anyone who uses gpl'd code
mit and are the ones that protect freedom
>but it's not freedom if someone takes what I consider to be unfair advantage
dude, either give shit away or don't but don't attatch strings to it and claim it's free
>>54416237
I'd say, post again when you can provide any arguments.
FFFFUUUUU
>>54416237
>bullshit, it restricts the freedom of not just companies but of anyone who uses gpl'd code
>mit and are the ones that protect freedom
Seriously, I don't know how to argue with that.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Please come back when you know a bit more about licenses in general.
>>54413712
Ahh I misunderstood, didn't realise you wanted KDE specific, in that case yes you are correct, KDE is best utilised by OpenSUSE
>>54416429
why bother, you're oblivious to logic and completely ignore the reality of the situation. protecting someone from something that might happen by restricting the freedom of others is not freedom asshat
>>54416500 see above

Gentoo or Funtoo
Hello /flt/ I was wondering if I should get rid of Windows completely and install Manjaro KDE. It is more comfy and has all the tools I need pre installed. Another option is dual booting but when I usually do that I end up just using my GNU/Linux distro. So I will let you decide my fate /flt/

>>54416495
Not even kidding, something was up when trying to install Ubuntu 15.*. The same shit happened when I tried to install Debian stretch from a flash drive. Debian stable however, zero problems.
>>54416565
What the fuck do I do?
I got the torrent for xubuntu-16.04-core-amd64.iso from https://unit193.net/xubuntu/core/
Force re-check on torrent doesn't change anything. It seems the ISO is defective from the source.
>>54416647
>signing
Install gentoo.
>>54416699
Weird, my MD5 hash is different from their MD5sum, but my torrent client doesn't find any issue from force rechecking
>>54416527
Okay, let's try it down at your level:
You write a piece of code and release it under the BSD/WTFPL/etc license. When a company comes along, asking you to spread your buttcheeks, you say "Feel free to do whatever you want, just, please, keep the source code of my program open, while you're raping me." Then you get a nice gangbang up the butt and they take your program, ignore your wish to keep it free, make it closed source and sell it back to you and other people. That's nice for companies, but not nice for the freedom of the users.
The GPL is protecting you, so nobody can take your freedom away or the freedom of the people who want to use your software the way they want; in freedom.
You can call it restriction if you want, I call it protection, because allowing anyone to TAKE AWAY freedom is the opposite of freedom, in my holy opinion.
>>54417081
He's partly right, because freedom is a silly buzzword with an ambiguous meaning. GPL is a license that forces the source code to be open source. BSD is a do-whatever-you-want-I-don't-care license.
>>54417081
Stallman defines freedom pretty interesting, saying that freedom doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want, because there are things you really can't do (like when you don't have enough money to do what you want, etc). For him, freedom is "not being under control".
Many people say "freedom is the freedom of choice", but when you choose not to be free, when you choose to be under control, you aren't free at all.
>>54417315
Well, if someone doesn't care, BSD is a good choice, but when someone wants to choose a free license, (he claimed that licenses without protection are more free) BSD isn't the right thing, because the developer actually cares when he's searching a free license.
