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.

I like that arch has AUR
I'm noob and Ubuntu is easy to use for noobs

Should I go for Arch?
Should I go for Ubuntu G?

Either way, do i have to do something extra after installing any of this distros.

I tried both btw but boot time was longer than win8.1 for both.

What should i do?

I'm the debianite that fucked up inmensely.

I tried running the Nvidia .run file. Everything seemed to go well. Told me I had to reboot in order to continue, or something, and so I did.

Then it loads the KDE splashcreen, but I can't move the mouse, type anything or switch to tt1, tt2, etc. I know it's not simply frozen because the "|" is blinking in the password field. A pop up says:

Your saved session type "kde-plasma" is not valid any more. Please select a new one, otherwise 'default' will be used.

And an OK button to click. But I can't move shit.

Aur is an excuse for the arch devs to be lazy and maintain less packages. Most of what you find on the AUR is available in official repos of other distros.

Guys, I currently have a broken Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 install that won't boot no matter what I do. I cannot boot in GUI or in The only way to get a terminal is through recovery mode or chroot, but I didn't manage to get X and systemd to work again.

What happen is: as soon as the system tries to boot into Ubuntu, the screen goes all black and starts flickering from time to time. I cannot change tty (I can by spamming alt + f3 but it gets back to the black screen after a few seconds). Booting with nvidia drivers disabled doesn't work. The system does nothing from there and the only way out is rebooting. I tried reinstalling both Xorg and systemd, no success. I've ran fsck. I accidentally replaced the upstart boot option in grub with systemd while trying to fix it.

If someone can help, I would appreciate.

Hardly.
AUR is a solution to the problem of running unstable/customized/patched software and stuff so obscure "noone wants to take care of"


Other distros face the same problem as well but Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE have the infrastructure to solve this problem properly which is an automated buildsystem.
So Ubuntu has PPA's, Fedora has COPRs and opensuse has Open Build Service.

But that's because all of them are backed by a company which makes actual money.


Arch (similar to Debian) is a community run distro and they can't afford to dedicate, run and maintain a machine powerful enough to work as a buildsystem for thousands of people and another one to host them all.

In all honesty, no idea.

After seeing that I booted on recovery mode, logged as root and tried to install the .run again. With the following results.

Installer asks if I want DKMS. I say yes, but it returns an error.
>Error: Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64(x86_64)

After that I retry without DKMS, so it advances until a point when it says that the I'm "compiling the Nvidia kernel module with a different compiler than the one that was used to compile the running kernel".

"The compiler used to compile the kernel was gcc 4.8: the current compiler is gcc 5.3"
Options are:
Ignore CC version check
Abort installation.
I aborted

good shit my negroes, based as usual. I'll try what I can, will post solution if applicable.

>Update your fstab so that /boot is mounted using the new UUID of the boot partition you just made

the fstab in the boot parition points to the correct UUID (found it using blkid while running in the live usb). I did not make a new partition. I just moved the existing boot partition because I resized an adjecent partition. do I need to regenerate it's UUID? I didn't change the number of partitions (though I did resize some partitions such that a 1MB bubble of empty space relocated from the left of the swap to the right of /home)

I should clarify that by "not booting" i mean that my machine is stuck on the acer splash screen.

compton is universal (99.9% of packages are), it just isn't in the Mint's repo.
Either compile it from source (not that hard), or find a compiled package somewhere else and port it yourself to Mint (a bit harder, more stupid).

It looks like you removed plymouth but did not disable the associated service.

sudo apt-get remove plymouth*

First make sure that quiet and nosplash are not in your kernel command line in grub

Next run sudo systemctl disable plymouth-start.service (this may be named something different on debian, not sure)

I did manage to get boot-repair to run to completion while booted in live usb in UEFI mode. but I still can't boot the linux partition in UEFI due to SecureBoot, and in BIOS mode booting still gets stuck in the acer splash.

Any thoughts /fglt/? I'd like to know where I can find error messages or logs for when booting gets stuck.

The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner were protected by the Constitution, "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia" also would be. He is probably mistaken, legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness.

Some rules might be called for when these acts directly affect other people's interests. For incest, contraception could be mandatory to avoid risk of inbreeding. For prostitution, a license should be required to ensure prostitutes get regular medical check-ups, and they should have training and support in insisting on use of condoms. This will be an advance in public health, compared with the situation today.

For necrophilia, it might be necessary to ask the next of kin for permission if the decedent's will did not authorize it. Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. Besides, I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants).

You control them by installing them and reading the config.Or you can browse the souce code(i know you have never done this so stop) to check for issues.
If you're really paranoid(which i assume all stallmanist are)
You can install the package/service in a chroot/container, and read exactly what it does and what idoes on the network.You would do this right? To protect your "freedumbs"?

it's not there because rhgb isn't in debian, that anon got his wires crossed.

try EITHER:

1. sudo apt-get install plymouth (less risky but could cause other issues)

or

2. sudo systemctl disable rescue.service (might mask an underlying problem)

for whatever reason debian is trying to put you into rescue mode and launch plymouth, which doesn't exist (THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT USE PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE)

other option is to install the plymouth package
