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.

Hello. I need to know a way to change Deluge text interface. "Upload Speed" and "Download Speed" require too much space to be shown, much more than the speed on the other cells below. I can't just contract the column, because I speak a latin language, and then I would see only "Speed..." and "Speed...", as this word come first in both columns.
How can I do this?

This is fucking driving me insane, /g/. I've got i3 set up on my laptop's mint installation, and I'm trying to configure my keybinds now, but I can't get a single keybind to work!

Loving i3, it has made me more productive, but two things have been bothering:
- multimedia keys don't work, even after following the instruction from here https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3747/enabling-multimedia-keys.1.html
there is a key to toggle on/off Wifi and it works, but brightness, volume, play/pause keys don't
- can't access my keepass2 database because apparently the keyboard inputs get distorted so I can't enter the correct password. made a dummy database with the master password '0' and it works.

Not enough.
>>54513199
Multimedia keys never worked for me, so I just made a few keybinds. They work in gentoo at least.
bindsym $mod+equal exec --no-startup-id amixer -q -D pulse set Master 5%+ unmute
bindsym $mod+minus exec--no-startup-id amixer -q -D pulse set Master 5%- unmute
bindsym $mod+0 exec --no-startup-id amixer -q -D pulse set Master toggle
This just uses your mod key (mine is alt) +(0 || - || =) to set volume and mute.

There's probably a switch to make "make install" write files it creates to a file. Then just remove them manually.
See, that's why you should always create your own packages instead of using "make install". It's cleaner and easier to uninstall.

http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html
Most popular Linux distros are not 100% free because the Linux kernel itself isn't actually 100% free. Linux has some binary blobs to make the kernal run smoothly on modern hardware, if you want to go full freetard you need to do some research on your hardware first and make sure they have open source firmware. You can also look into open-source BIOS as well if you want to go all the way.
Fedora and Debian are pretty close however.

I did look at them, stop projecting. Though once again, I don't fucking care about that. The hybrid drivers work fine and save me battery life.

>>54515976
after what?
it has always been pretty fast for me.
It has been observed that some decidedly UNFRIENDLY posts are being made in this, the Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
This is likely due to use of nonfree software by the posters in question. It is recommended to purge such toxic code from your system, for greater freedom and wellness of being.

You need to install a lot of dependencies and it might have features not everyone needs. Dolphin wants me to install Phonon which I absolutely do not need. I assume it uses it for file previews, but other file managers can do the same, without pulling in that. That's just one example.

What would be the best way to extend KDE5/Dolphin with custom actions in context menus?
I'd like to be able to set up new WordPress sites with a script.
I found a few tutorials, but none of them seem to work, or are specifically outdated for KDE5, so I feel a bit lost

You can tell, because they're posting in a /g/ thread.

There should be a separate word for that. "Ricing" as in the Desktop threads that happen on /g/ means being a weeb faggot more interested in taking screenshots than productivity at all.

Well, parabola being one of the few 100% free distros is a selling point for sure. Only parabola and trisquel are worth using out of any of them. What you said is true about non-fsf distros though.

What moderately tinfoil shit can I run to make me secure from casual eavesdropping and waste some of the NSA's time without crippling my actual productivity? All my DNS requests go via DNScrypt on my Raspberry Pi, and I use HTTPS Everywhere and Noscript most of the time. I'm not routing everything through tor because it's slow as fuck, and I'm not running a tor node because when I did that I found out that iPlayer blocks the IPs of all tor nodes (not just exit ones).

what tricked me up is its not a folder like i expected, its a "block device" file, which its telling me i dont have any program i can view it with
so what is a block device file and how do i view this thing
>>54517981
you need a windows installation cd to repair
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO
>>54518753
You mount a block device, you don't view it.
Also type "lsblk" and make sense of that. Your current drive you are using is a block device and was mounted during boot.

I tried posting from tor once. After half an hour of cycling through nodes and being told that my IP had been banned for child porn I pretty much stopped using tor for anything.
I installed Matalb on the opt part of my ubuntu, because I'm apparently a retard, and that was where OpenFOAM was isntalled automatically, and now I can't run it. is there a way to fix this without reinstalling it, when i try to run it i get the message,"
***@****:~$ cd /opt
***@****:/opt$ matlab
matlab: command not found
"
>>54519004
They ban using the tor node public list,cat that every hour and put cp in it so the ban stays in the ban log
>>54519019
to execute the file named matlab./matlab
not just "matlab" at the prompt
or you could look around for the actual executable, in case that's not what it's named.
>>54518997
You need to tell it where to mount it first, hence me telling you to mkdir /media/readingcomprehension first and then mount /dev/sda4 /media/readingcomprehension. If no destination folder (I.e. mount point) is specified it will look in /etc/fstab for a location you have hardcoded for that device.
>>54519064
I had a couple where the been reason was just "tor node, go fuck yourself" though
>>54519107
Say it again!
>we are "anonymous"
>>54516174
really depends on what do you want to be productive in. If its related to writing, specially code, then i highly suggest vim.
>>54519081
Thank you. If I move the entire matlab folder into my home directory that will break it won't it
>>54519173
depends on how the install is structured. you could always copy it over to test though

I have an openVPN server set up on the Pi which I connect to remotely - my phone is pretty much always connected via the VPN. Logging is already disabled on the Pi because muh SD card writes. Isn't the rest of what you suggest only really valid tinfoil against an eavesdropper on my local network?

>>54519316
You literally do everything manually, there is nothing graphical to rely on.
I tried following the handbook from wiki.gentoo and it took me five hours, mostly because I know nothing about it nor coding stuff (yeah, I started off badly). I screwed up boot and installed Fedora instead.
Not trying to stifle you, but it is really slowly and difficult for a layman. But the control is worthy, I guess.
>>54519437
nah, you won't stifle me. my situation is the same. somehow I screwed up installing arch. or arch/syslinux screwed me, I don't know.

when you said media/penis, the way i took that was a joke that i have a folder full of penis media
i inferred that any folder with any media would work for that command, but i didnt understand why i needed media in the first place
anyway thanks for you help, everything is A-ok up to this point.
but this one error randomly popped up which i dont understand
net usershare returned error 255 mkdir failed on directory var/run/samba/msg.lock
do you know what this is?
i googled it but still have no clue what this means
>>54519098
>>54519539
its a file explorer error btw
>>54519539
nah, that was just a command to make an empty folder called penis in the already-existing media folder, which is where your temporary mountpoints should live. When you plug a USB stick in, assuming automount is correctly configured it will create a folder inside the /media folder and mount the stick there for you.
Apologies for any confusion caused by my use of the beheld "penis", which is probably best reserved for tutorials in which the object is to create a new empty file in future.
>>54519564
Assuming you don't plan on sharing any folders on your machine with other computers on your local network for the time being, try "sudo service samba restart", and if that doesn't make the error message go away, do " sudo service samba stop"
>>54519715
i dont plan on that
and i simply closed the error message
i was just wondering what it is / what caused it
I have a few questions, /flt/.
1) Can I search within subfolders when uploading? I kind of miss the slow explorer with the ability to search patterns on subdirectories and the entire filename.
2) May you link me to a place where I can solve the thumbnail upload problem?
3) I haven't looked at the daily moon thread on a certain board, but how would I set up keyboards to write Kana?
4) Would I be able to use my discrete GPU on Linux if I setup a passthrough? I'd love to keep using Linux at all times, even on gaymes. Using a KVM would be a rarity or with Windows only software.
5) Is there a good foobar alternative on Linux? I tried deadbeef, but I didn't dedicate much time in it and gave up on it. Clementine is fine everywhere except how it shows search results.
6) Is there a good Honeyview alternative for viewing korean non-animated comic strips? I've been using Mcomix for a while and it's neat, tried up ahoviewer too but it has some problems. I'd say both are neat, but would like to know if better alternatives exist.
7) On keyboards, I have a Logitech g710+ which has 6 keys dedicated for macros with 3 groups to switch them. They map to numbers right now, would I need to change the keyboard on xfce so that it recognizes the keys?
how do I create a user that is only able to write on /tmp and unable to read from other users' home directories?
>>54519437
You don't have to be an expert to install Gentoo. It takes about 15 - 45 minutes + depending on what you're building support for and compile times.
>>54519899
1) Look at them before you upload them?
2) glib-patched-thumbnailer gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view
7) xev,xmodmap,xbindkeys
>>54519899
>3
I use fcitx-mozc since it's in my repo and easy to install.
>5
mpd + ncmpcpp + mpc is much better than foobar, but I never liked foobar.
>6
You can also use zathura-cb but it's kind of hit and miss. Some archives it displays with massive gaps between pages and makes it unreadable. But most of the time it's fine.
>>54519928
make its home folder be /tmp and not in a group that has access to your /home folders
>>54520176
i ment mpv not mpc
>>54520227
No, I meant mpc, Music Player Command, a client for mpd
>>54520164
>Look at them before you upload them?
You misunderstand. There's a preview, of course, but I'd like to have a little something extra when searching. Let's say I want to search for OP and cocks, typing "op cocks". I'd love if results like "OP can't stop sucking cocks.jpg" would pop off. I have away too many images and sub directories to remember every image and its filename.
>glib-patched-thumbnailer gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view
Thanks.
>xev,xmodmap,xbindkeys
I actually have them installed, but never configured them. Whoops.
>>54520176
>I use fcitx-mozc
I'll take a look.
>mpd + ncmpcpp + mpc
I have tried it twice, but didn't dig it. Different tastes I guess.
>You can also use zathura-cb
That's interesting, I'll try it out.
>>54520299
>uploading
Then i have no clue what you're talking about.But this might be helpful
https://github.com/DoTheEvo/ANGRYsearch
>>54520329
I mean when something like pic related. I typed in "OP cocks", but it only searches on the current directory. I know about Angry Search, but I actually use catfish at the moment.
>>54520187
hmmmm
how do I make it so /tmp gets cleared at log-out?
>>54520556
well normally i guess you would append that command to the user's .bash_logout, but since tmp is the homedir for this user, i'd imagine that wouldn't work (as it would purge the dotfile).
tricky
How do I download videos from xvideos? Anyone knows?
>>54520751
youtube-dl works for another porn site, probably would work for xvideos too
>>54520751
I think the normal answer would be youtube-dl or something similar, but my nigger-tier solution is:
>right-click --> view page source
>search source for "mp4"
>follow matching URLs to see if they are the video desired
>save
>>54515358
I need to fap to girls asses.
>>54515215
I'm not on terminal, I'm on the GUI.
>>54520788
yeah, I was trying something like that but for some reason the video wasn't showing up on sources
>>54520783
youtube-dl just works thanks
>>54520635
maybe I could append to /usr/bin/clear_console somehow?
>>54520788
>>54520751
my solution is rather ctrl+shift+Q
filter by "media"
run the video
copy the generated url, save the video
