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.

How to tune the trackpoint sensibility and speed for a thinkpad x201 running arch?
>>54819066
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint
>Adjusting the speed and sensitivity of the TrackPoint requires echoing a value between 0 and 255 into the appropriate file. For example, for a speed of 120 and a sensitivity of 250, type the following into a terminal:
# echo -n 120 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed
# echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity
>Alternatively, on my ThinkPad T420s, the correct commands are:
# echo -n 120 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/speed
# echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity
>>54819157
I have trouble to keep the values when I restart my computer.
I cannot put these two commands in my autostart as they require root priviliege
I just installed gentoo XDDDDDD, but I know nothing about ricing. What are some ways to make this OS look more pleasant to look at? Preferably something simple, I don't like having a ton of features I won't use.
>>54819177
Put it in a bash script and create a systemd service file to run it on every boot.
>>54819318
install gentoo
>>54819320
I guess that's a fix.
I'd rather change the default values in /etc/ or /sys/ or something but in the end, a fix's a fix. thank
>>54819320
>>54819177
Or use an udev rule.

I have a question about debian in particular and why does it provide the option of installing over the internet? what are the benefits of doing that? also, how would the network card work with no OS installed?
Stupid question, how do I exectute startx
>>54819521
It's too hard, dude.
Just install Gentoo.
>>54819529
You type startx and hit enter.
>>54819543
I've been doing doing this and getting: command not found
>>54819557
Try xinit instead.
Is icecat any good? If not are there any good alternatives?
>>54819571
same thing oniifam
>>54819529
You install xorg-xinit.
>>54819603
Icecat is breddy good since it comes with sane privacy settings. libreJS can be annoying, but it's turned off with one click.
>>54819521
this way your system is up to date right when you are done installing it and you can choose a lot of different things during the installation (DEs and other metapackages) without the iso being 4gb+.
since drivers are in the kernel or loaded as a kernel module they can be kept on the usb drive or later RAM. If you need nonfree drivers use the nonfree netinstall iso.
>>54819603
Icecat is stable and has great defaults. You need to disable librejs for 4chan and need to use mpv through open with for videos to work better (they already work but can be slow). I would use it if i was not on ff aurora and if it was in the debian repo.
anyone have a list of things i can try to speed up ubuntu? i'm just trying this out for the first time and everything freezes like every 30 seconds. already set GFX to latest version proprietary driver and that helped some (i think?) but googling around isn't helping much for what else can be the problem.

>>54819697
Than's senpai
>>54819700
>>54819910
Thanks. I will give it a try.
I don't know where else to ask this so I'll ask here.
I enjoy using GNU+Linux, like a lot. I think that it's a great OS, but at the same time, I don't like that the UI is disjointed as fuck across applications and that sometimes, simple desktop ricing can lead to fuckery. Maybe I'm stupid and I should stick to what the distro ships with.
In any case, my question is this- what would I lose by switching over to OS X? I know that I can retain all Unix functionality, but do I lose anything else? I simply want something that jest twerks and looks pretty.
I'll be using any OS for media consumption, light image editing, and C/Java programming.
Before you /g/entoomen get your knickers in a tit, I'll be Hackintoshing a ThinkPad. I'd rather subject myself to a life in the S&M dungeon than buy Apple hardware.
>>54819700
Not the anon you replied to but I have been using icecat and quite enjoying it. However, and call me names or whatever, I can't figure out how to update the fucker since it isnt in the repos. Any tips?
>>54819918
sounds very weird, have you installed things outside of your package manager? what exactly is slow? Are you using unity? Is this 16.04?
>>54819918
Don't use Ubuntu, seriously. it's a heap of junk
>>54820304
What kinds of DEs and themes were you using that you had inconsistency? fedora+gnome+arc is more consistent than anything else i know.
>>54820349
Add a repo that has it or install new versions yourself.
>>54820402
Ubuntu+Mate+Arc (Interface)+Numix (Borders)
Don't get me wrong, it's the actual programs that feel disjoint, not the windows.
Also tried XFCE with Arc and Numix.
>>54820421
I didn't know any repos had it, no mention on the GNU page

so im setting up NIS
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NIS
this part
192.168.1.10 nis_server.domain.com nis_server
do i leave as is and update just ip or do i change the to something like this
my.ip.0.0 mydomain.domain.com mydomain
Getting this error when issusing:
ufw enable
This is a fresh install and i have not touched any config filesERROR: problem running ufw-init
iptables-restore: line 4 failed
iptables-restore: line 77 failed
iptables-restore: line 30 failed
Problem running '/etc/ufw/before.rules'
Problem running '/etc/ufw/after.rules'
>>54820495
you use old software that is maintained so that old people can still feel comfy, not sonething thatbis made to be consistent. There are two DE that actually try, it's GNOME and KDE. ideally you have a theme for both. try gnone 3.20 and the newest kde before switching to an OS with outdated bash and restrictions everywhere. And using different themes at the same time is a horrible idea.
Is there a way to change the address bars colors within chromium?
I've tried various themes, and stylish themes, but i cant seem to be able to change it.
>>54820669
>ufw enable
What did you do before this?
>>54820376
yeah i tried installing the .run from nvidia website even though the version was lower than the one in ubuntu already. (304.131 from the website, 361.42 on ubuntu already). and it messed up the boot up so i just reinstalled ubuntu. filezilla. steam.
everything is slow, opening programs. clicking around tabs in firefox. this is 16.04, yeah, i'm not sure about unity though i'm pretty new.
>>54820399
yeah i'm not a programmer by profession just trying to learn as a hobby so i went to one of those "which linux should i install?" websites and decided on ubuntu (i think mainly because it was supposed to be for noobs like me). the pc is only a few years old. see specs >>54819918
so thinking i'd have hardware issues with any OS was the last thing on my mind.
you can't downgrade linux distros, right? if i went lighter i'd have to format and reinstall?
thanks guys.
>>54820697
ufw default deny
ufw allow 192.168.1.0/24
Then i attempted to start it
>>54820723
Don't know then, you're trying to enable with sudo or as user?
>>54820744
with sudo
>>54820701
Reinstall fully (also delete .config files) and start again but this time don't try to use GNU/Linux like you use windows.
Install a reasonable DE like gnome or xfce, install the proprietary drivers with your package manager, read the debian administrators handbook because why not, use aptitude (and only aptitude) from the start and come back when you have new questions. This is the easiest way. Remember that this is not windows, it works entirely different even if some people think it is. Good luck.
>>54820758
Are the rules files actually in that location? I know they changed recently from being somewhere in /usr/ to /etc/
>>54818873
I've been running Tahrpup for a few weeks now, and I would like for it to boot up asking for a password, add a root password, and have it not automatically boot with a boot login. How do I go about changing this?
>>54820786
Yes,they are both in /etc/ufw/.
There are no other ufw rules listed any where else on the file system
>>54820793
does this help?
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Security
also why are you running puppy? I have it on an old SD card because I can't think of anything else to do with it but I'd only use it as a daily system in an emergency
>>54820880
Thx. As for why I'm running Puppy linux, a few weeks ago I thought it would be a good time to change my OS, for I was running Backbox and was having some trouble with applications running and just wanted to move to a new OS. I wanted something that could run on 2gb of ram, Arch linux wasn't booting up with a USB, so I picked puppy.
>>54821014
have you tried Lubuntu? It boots on 256 MB and has way more features
>>54821053
If I can boot it with a USB, I'll take a look
>>54820778
ok thanks. gotta look up what all these things are.
you guys are awesome. i'll be back. rock on.

I am in the midst of installing nis.
i am following instructions
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NIS
this part at top
192.168.1.10 nis_server.domain.com nis_server
requires my public ip. so i ran hostname ip... and got
Address: 000.00.000.00#00
Aliases:
aliases is blank and from hostname instructions that is my public ip...
i also just wend on the net and googled myip and got something completely different.
00.000.00.000
so as far as setting up my ip in the instructions, do i use:
hostname Address
hostname Alias
google myip

Guys, I got this problem with debian jessie network install. A month or so ago it was working perfectly, but now it's giving me a bad archive mirror error for any mirror I select. What's going on.

I'm a newbie to Linux. I tried the other night to dual-booth Xubuntu onto a 60GB partition alongside OS X. I left it on to install and went outside. After two hours, it had not installed. There is no percentage or advancement meter to tell how far it's gone. I cancelled the installation. Is it normal for it to take that long to install?
>>54823039
Not normal, maybe if the hdd is slow.
what did you use to take that picture?
>>54823039
no, not normal. I don't know about the *buntu installers but most others that I've used have a progress bar.
Is your image pic related, is that what you left alone for two hours? It clearly requires you to make a selection and press a button..

no, the proprietary nvidia drivers are in rpmfusion so you don't even have to compile or maintain anything yourself

there's no reason for this unless rpmfusion doesn't work or you like the default config more

Contrary to what, "do whatever you like" packaging guidelines on Arch and every other shit distro out there?
Nvidia proprietary drivers are proprietary therefore forbidden item and cannot be shipped with Fedora.
So they do follow their own guidelines.

i have my public ip now.
so now when i edit host as instructions say at top
do i leave it in this format in my hosts file
00.00.00.00 nis_server.domain.com nis_server
or do i set it as this format in my hosts file
00.00.00.00 mydomain.domain.com mydomain
or can i just do
00.00.00.00 mydomain.com
im not sure how i can make this question as clear as possible, i do hope someone can help?

what is the best way of backing up an archive without having to compress the whole thing over when i add to it?
the way i have it set up is 7z archive that is gpg encrypted, but surely there is a better way to set this thing up.

ok not sure if i did it right, but system says
arch has been set up as a NIS master server.
Now you can run ypinit -s arch-vb on all slave server.
but if i run yptest i get this
Test 2: ypbind
can't yp_bind: Reason: Domain not bound
and when i run status ypbind the system says.
May 30 18:16:57 arch-vb sh[353]: can't yp_bind: Reason: Domain not bound
May 30 18:16:58 arch-vb systemd[1]: Started YP Bind.
am i good to go with client side now, or did i really mess something up and still need to correct the domain bound problem?

I don't fucking understand samba. I installed it and libpam-smbpass, set up 2 shares for 2 directories. Restart the processed (smbd, nmbd, samba-ad-dc), log back in my account for the sync script to make me an account so I can log in.
First time I tried to access the directories from Windoze it asked me for credentials. I screwed with it for maybe 2-3 hours so far and I can't fucking authenticate. Worst part is I set it to guests ok, then removed it and now Windoze just accesses the directories without asking for credentials even though I set guests ok to false and restarted the services multiple times. What the fuck am I supposed to do to log in to this piece of shit and get my files?
>>54826812
Oh yeah, I can also access my ~ from it for some reason but still read only. I never explicitly told it to share my home so I don't know why the fuck it's doing that.

A few days ago I posted a problem that I have with Openbox with nm-applet which didn't let me to reconnect to my wifi network after I disconnected from it, well I look for the problem on google and so far I haven't found any solution, I also tried wicd and also nothing.
then I killed the nm-applet process and started it again to see if that fixes the problem and I got this message:(nm-applet:30937): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed
the only thing i can do to fix this, is to reboot the system but that's obviously annoying
So i hope some of you guys can help me with this please.

awesome thanks. i got a list going for all the things i need to lookup and watch. thanks bro.
Any insight on this error? All I'm finding is mods and users fighting on bugtrackers about bug format.

I don't use terminus but I use WenQuanYi Bitmap Song. All the Japanese looks good. It's quite big but setting URxvt.lineSpace: 1 displays it no problem.

It depends on your package manager but in my repo it's called wqy-bitmapfont it's probably under a different name in others.
I've just installed KDE and I really like it so far but I've just noticed that I have screen tearing. I have a card that doesn't support setting tear free in xorg conf, I've always used compton before. What should I change in KDE to get rid of tearing?

Don't be an idiot. /bin/ is for system binarys; use /usr/local/bin for stuff you installed additionally.

dunno about bugs and shit but the biggest disadvantage, to me at leas about lmde is that it doesn't support ppas. which isn't really a huge deal when it comes to installing shit that's not available in the repos, but it's something of an issue with keeping things up to date

I'm talking about the symlinks. Not every distro uses them. For example, Ubuntu still doesn't as of 16.04 and Ubuntu is by far the most widespread distro so you can't claim this as some sort of majority decision.

Free Unix!
Starting this Thanksgiving I am going to write a complete Unix-compatible software system called GNU (for Gnu's Not Unix), and give it away free to everyone who can use it. Contributions of time, money, programs and equipment are greatly needed. To begin with, GNU will be a kernel plus all the utilities needed to write and run C programs: editor, shell, C compiler, linker, assembler, and a few other things. After this we will add a text formatter, a YACC, an Empire game, a spreadsheet, and hundreds of other things. We hope to supply, eventually, everything useful that normally comes with a Unix system, and anything else useful, including on-line and hardcopy documentation. GNU will be able to run Unix programs, but will not be identical to Unix. We will make all improvements that are convenient, based on our experience with other operating systems. In particular, we plan to have longer filenames, file version numbers, a crashproof file system, filename completion perhaps, terminal-independent display support, and eventually a Lisp-based window system through which several Lisp programs and ordinary Unix programs can share a screen. Both C and Lisp will be available as system programming languages. We will have network software based on MIT's chaosnet protocol, far superior to UUCP. We may also have something compatible with UUCP.
Who Am I?
I am Richard Stallman, inventor of the original much-imitated EMACS editor, now at the Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT. I have worked extensively on compilers, editors, debuggers, command interpreters, the Incompatible Timesharing System and the Lisp Machine operating system. I pioneered terminal-independent display support in ITS. In addition I have implemented one crashproof file system and two window systems for Lisp machines.
>>54828589
Why I Must Write GNU
I consider that the golden rule requires that if I like a program I must share it with other people who like it. I cannot in good conscience sign a nondisclosure agreement or a software license agreement.
So that I can continue to use computers without violating my principles, I have decided to put together a sufficient body of free software so that I will be able to get along without any software that is not free.
How You Can Contribute
I am asking computer manufacturers for donations of machines and money. I'm asking individuals for donations of programs and work. One computer manufacturer has already offered to provide a machine. But we could use more. One consequence you can expect if you donate machines is that GNU will run on them at an early date. The machine had better be able to operate in a residential area, and not require sophisticated cooling or power. Individual programmers can contribute by writing a compatible duplicate of some Unix utility and giving it to me. For most projects, such part-time distributed work would be very hard to coordinate; the independently-written parts would not work together. But for the particular task of replacing Unix, this problem is absent. Most interface specifications are fixed by Unix compatibility. If each contribution works with the rest of Unix, it will probably work with the rest of GNU.
If I get donations of money, I may be able to hire a few people full or part time. The salary won't be high, but I'm looking for people for whom knowing they are helping humanity is as important as money. I view this as a way of enabling dedicated people to devote their full energies to working on GNU by sparing them the need to make a living in another way.

I don't give a fuck who you are or where you live. You can count on me to be there to bring your fucking life to a hellish end. I'll put you in so much fucking pain that it'll make Jesus being nailed to a cross in the desert look like a fucking back massage on a tropical island. I don't give a fuck how many reps you have or how tough you are IRL, how well you can fight, or how many fucking guns you own to protect yourself. I'll fucking show up at your house when you aren't home. I'll turn all the lights on in your house, leave all the water running, open your fridge door and not close it, and turn your gas stove burners on and let them waste gas. You're going to start stressing the fuck out, your blood pressure will triple, and you'll have a fucking heart attack. You'll go to the hospital for a heart operation, and the last thing you'll see when you're being put under in the operating room is me hovering above you, dressed like a doctor. When you wake up after being operated on, wondering what ticking time bomb is in your chest waiting to go off. You'll recover fully from your heart surgery. And when you walk out the front door of the hospital to go home I'll run you over with my fucking car out of no where and kill you. I just want you to know how easily I could fucking destroy your pathetic excuse of a life, but how I'd rather go to a great fucking length to make sure your last remaining days are spent in a living, breathing fucking hell. It's too late to save yourself, but don't bother committing suicide either... I'll fucking resuscitate you and kill you again myself you bitch-faced faggot. Welcome to hell, population: you.

Dear Mr. Stallman, I do appreciate your great work and contribution to society and the GNU. I am currently working on my own linux system following the advice of that anon ^.
I am curious though why is their no standards or defaults installed upon installation. I had to find an editor. I had to download tor and configure. I to build iptables as well as install a light dm and a pamac for graphic interpretation. I am a noob and am completely at a loss of what the hell to do. Currently working on the NIS and for 2-3 days have accomplished nothing but piss this board off.
Again, in your next update you could please make int noob friendly.

There are a bunch of predifined configs you can use as a base. use find for *_defconfig files ... well looking now there is only one for x86_64, I am used to using them for arm. Anyway if you are building a kernel for your current box you can grab you current config and use that as a base. copy it from /boot/ or /proc/ to .config and run make oldconfig, then it will just ask you questions about new options, and you can you tell it to always choose the default option too.

So I was looking at Linux since on average, Linux versions of games were outperforming Windows games (at least the ones I played), and it got me thinking. If we had every game for every operating system, which one would hypothetically have the best performance? I'm thinking it would be BSD or something or other, since I've heard that BSD can get better performance out of Linux binaries than Linux can.

Are there any good lazy-person's distros that:
- aren't based on Debian or Ubuntu
- have largehuge repos
- use KDE as the default DE
I think Chakra might meet the criteria, but I have a feeling their repos are probably tiny and their site doesn't offer any easy way of looking through them.

How can I tell KDE to fucking keep my panels on my primary (ìnternal, laptop) screen, and not have them jump onto my external display, whenever I plug it in?
I sometimes even forgets to move them back to interal, when I unplug the external monitor. Shits really annoying. Especially since the side panel also changes its size, when I move it back manually, meaning I not only have to move it, but also resize it.

I have two hard drives. I have installed Debian on the master one. Now I want to install Windows 7 on the other disk. However, when I try to do it using the Win7 installation disk it gives me the error "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001."
How do I install Windows now in a way so that I can dual boot?

I bet it's because windows wants to write it's loader in the mbr of your first hard drive. MS usually assumes they're home alone and can do what they want.
I had Arch in a vm for playing around with it. Chose the top 5 package mirrors for my country when I installed it.

Just use kernel.org for your mirror, local mirrors are pretty meh. The speed difference you get from them isn't really that significant.
