I asked this before, but how do i set default volume with ALSA? i don't use pulseaudio.

>>55558917
Try: amixer -q set Master unmute <volume>

>>55558950
well it is not muted, it just starts at 43% by default, does that change the default?

>>55559018
I have this exact same problem, brohan.

Both on some computers using LXDE and my laptop using i3.

I have to go into alsamixer, press F6, select Intel and push my Master volume to 100 everytime.

>>55559018
>>55559038
alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store

This should save the current settings.

>>55559132
thanks man I'll try this when I get home

It's kind of a mystery why it defaults to 43 though. I wonder why the hell it does that.

Also, how should you go about using the config for both ALSA and Pulse? Should you only use one and always leave the other untouched, or what's best practice? I'm kind of confused by audio in Linux

Anything I should know about installing linux on an Early 2008 20" iMac?

I salvaged one and can't get OSX to install from disk or USB, so i'm thinking about putting Elementary on it. Do I have to do amy weird shit with partitioning or making my USB bootable?

All I have nearby are Windows computers for utilities

>>55560409
you need to make a bootable USB device and i would suggest not using elementary from bad experience.
i would recommend debian with gnome but i think that is easier to get to work initially:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Installation

Which is typically more stable: Cinnamon or MATE?

>>55560624
probably mate, but if you want a stable DE xfce is probably great.

>>55560624
MATE imo

is there a distro shipping wayland by default?
preferably redhat based

>>55560671
Arch GNOME, so antergos GNOME

>>55560671
debian sid, arch, gentoo or opensuse tumbleweed with gnome

>>55560624
KDE.

Is there a way to know which configuration file was used/loaded by a program? It's cool that many programs list the order of the config files in their man but if there's something easier I'll take it.

Greetings gentooman.
I'm a debian user and just installed the nvidia proprietary drivers, but now cinnamon crash and won't even start. Mate runs fine, but I really prefer cinnamon and would like to solve this issue. Searching on the internet didn't gave me anything that could fix that.

grep -i cinnamon /var/log/syslog :

>>55558735
I'm about to try install gentoo again, can anybody point me to a guide about picking drivers and kernel modules? or describe how it's done, I know how to navigate menuconfig, just not what to pick so that it all works in the end.

>>55561344
I had something similar a while back, except the drivers worked for about 3 months and then cinnamon wouldn't start. Eventually I just disabled the gpu(laptop with optimus).

I'm not sure if this was the problem but propriety drivers will only work on the kernel they were compiled for because Linus refuses to keep the ABI stable.
If mate works it might be because it's not using the driver?

I tried to install gentoo on a different hard drive on my x220, just to mess around. Didn't manage to get gentoo working. Am I a pleb for giving up and installing Arch instead? Any other distro suggestions? I'd like a command-line based system. Currently have Ubuntu and Kali.

I have an x60 with libreboot installed

I used trisquel to install it but I hated it so I switched to debian

When I boot it it says "error file '/vmlinuz' not found

To boot Debian I have to search for a grub configuration and load grub configuration from (ahci0,1)


It then says something like error unicode fonts not found


How do I fix this so it will boot straight into debian?


any help appreciated

What are some reasons to *not* use Debian?

Because the more I read about it, the more I like it. I mean, it's got you covered with Stable, Testing, and Sid, so the "ancient" excuse isn't even really a concern. And I find their choice to leave out non-free stuff out of the main repos by default, making it just a simple optional thing to enable if you want it to be pretty cool.

>>55563185
Because testing and sid are not different flavours of Debian for users to choose from, they're literally development branches. Development ultimately will always take precedence over your user experience. You'll get painful transitions, and regular upgrade backlogs every freeze before a stable release.

>>55563273
>painful transitions

I mean, you can always just hold off upgrading for a day or so when you don't approve of what aptitude is about to do, no?

Maybe I'm being naive. Please explain further

>>55563313
No. It dosent support partial upgrades

>>55563363
I'm not talking about partial upgrades, I'm talking about just waiting a day without upgrading until aptitude doesn't want to nuke your whole DE because some components of it were upgraded but not all of them yesterday

>>55563373
Critical packages would be pushed as a cluster, and held before bying sync'd to the mirrors.
Adding another 5 packages on to what was to be upgraded yesterday, is moot

>>55563392
I still don't understand what you mean by painful transition though

>>55563412
Not that anon.For example, the last gtk3 3.20 bump from 3.18, break EVERY THEME IN THE WORLD, because they fucked shit up. You could blindly install it, becuause, you know, you dont read change logs, you just want new software that isnt 4 years old like the normal repos.Whne you rebooted, boom you have no blue what happened, and seeing how it is so ingrained as a toolkit, you cant easily go back with just downgrading gtk3,unless you have a snapshot system in place, and locks what packages to reinstall provided something happens. Also when critical system packages are updated, they may no longer support how you were doing things before(systemd for a BIG transistion) so you are sitting at a broken gtty wondering if you can even login to attempt to fix the problem.

>>55563478
Isn't this something that happens in every rolling distro though?

>>55562183
>>55562214
Okay, you had a good point
>you aren't a 1337 hacker for using a free distro based on RPMs, just go install Ubuntu

So I went with stock Ubuntu, immediately went into terminal, activated root, purged webapps, amazon, and unity scope.

After that I went to install Unity Tweak Tool, but now I see the amazon app back in my installed applications.
Is there any way to have Unity Tweak without reinstalling amazon, or do I just need to switch to Linux Mint?

>>55563600
Why did you go Ubuntu and not Debian

>>55563660
I thought it would be easy, with the way updates are automatically implemented if you have a network connection during the installation, and that the non-free codecs are supported out of box
I remember though, I used Ubuntu back in 2014 as my main OS for a while and I had to spend a significant amount of time in terminal having to fix shit that was purposely broken, such as the Amazon issue I'm having right now.

Looks like I'll be installing debian now.
I'm not a tech retard, I'm just unfamiliar with Linux.
Should I go with stable or testing?

>>55563718
Always do a netinstall of Stable first, no matter what. The installers for Testing and Sid are not for actually installing and using them, they're for testing the installers themselves.

Once you do that netinstall of Stable, it's up to you to keep it as it is or upgrade it to Testing/Sid based on your needs

Here's the link to the one that includes a bunch of non-free firmware. You might get lucky and it'll find things like your wifi card out of the box. If it doesn't, you'll need to add it manually through a USB OR just install through an ethernet cable and install the wifi driver from the terminal. It tells you which .deb it needs anyway.

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/8.5.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-8.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso

If you want the pure netinst, here you go

A couple of questions for you folks

1) Why is it that when I type users in the terminal,
my name comes up twice? Is that normal?

2) It seems that PulseAudio is the default in my system (my GNOME interface's volume control seems to tie into PulseAudio and not ALSA itself). Like these anons above >>55559038
>>55559018 , upon further inspection,

alsamixer

and F6 tells me master volume is always at 43% on system start by default. I know I can change it thanks to >>55559132 , but why is that? Why does it default to being several decibels down? It doesn't seem to be an issue tied to your DE, based on those posts.

3) I've tried using SSH in a local network and it works well. But I was wondering, since everyone in my network seems to share a public IP, what happens if there are two computers running SSH servers under the same public IP? How does a guest trying to get in from the outside specify which he wants? By port? What happens if they're both using the same one?

>>55563836
For me it comes up once. Are you logged in on the VT as well?

ubuntu ~ $ users
ubuntu

>>55563836
>PulseAudio
to get correct values with alsa+pulse, you need to control pulse instead of alsa

option a) via alsa
amixer -qD pulse set Master 50%

option b) pulse directly
pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ 50%

>>55563830
Another piece of advice:

At some point in the install (after the partitioning and all that), it's gonna ask you which software you want to install, like which Desktop Environment (if any), if you want SSH and Print server right out of the gate, basic system utilities, etc.

If you want to use GNOME as your DE, just leave "Debian Desktop Environment" ticked and no other DE. That's GNOME.

If you want to use a DE that is not GNOME, make sure you unmark "Debian Desktop Environment" and tick the one you want to use.

If you don't want to use a DE (or at least one that isn't provided in the installer list), just make sure you unmark "Debian Desktop Environment"

Always leave system basic utilities ticked though, that's good for you. As for the other options (SSH, Print server, mail server, etc) you decide if you want to only install those later if you need them or if you wanna have em right away.

Oh, and partitioning wise, look into using LVM. LVM's awesome compared to regular partitioning. It's even an option there in the installer. And you can encrypt with LUKS over LVM if you wish, as well. It's very easy

>>55563953
Why are you setting it to 50%? Is it just an example? Because I would prefer to just have it be 100% by default always.

And should this go in my xinit or what?

>>55563921

1.) This can happen if your logged in on two seperate ttys, like if you cnt-alt fn1-6 (before the x server) or if you have multiple terminals like bash or zsh running. It treats it as seperate logins.

2.) It depends on the system, ive had it drop to 0 by default, or around 50%. Just depends how the distro configured it, probably to protect the speakers.

3.)I'm reasonably sure it would work as long as whatever your ssh-ing into isnt from the same user account like [email protected] instead of [email protected]. But it all typically is handled through port 22. or 23 for telnet i believe

There you lazy fuck, that took 2 seconds to google. I'm being friendly in my own way.

>>55565259
Red Hat is playing dirty with his army of trolls and bigot developers.

Even with the colonization of many distros like Arch some of us still know the danger of this advance. So no, is not "matter of time", stay mad.

>>55565273
That's 2 seconds of my life not wasted, so thanks.
So what additional drivers do you need? If it is debian based they would presumably the same place as they would be in debian. This is kind of why I would steer clear of spin off distros if you have to ask such a question.

Remember, if we don't fight back we are going to be dependent on Red Hat developers. They can deprecate anything, shove in any flaw (or backdoor) and kill our systems.

Because it is taking over every base core program.When 80% of the ENTIRE init process is usurped by systemd, and programs iare HARD deping on systemd, you cannot change it.

I've got a flash drive with xubuntu on it. I want to put some files on it so I can access them when I start it up.

I don't see anything resembling a home folder though, I assume it's all packed into the huge filesystem.squashfs thing?

Does it matter where I put the files?

So I posted in here the other day about i3 swapping the location of my monitors and getting tired of having to type in an xrandr command every reboot to swap them around.

Someone told me to put the command into my xinitrc file and I did that. I finally rebooted since then and nothing happened.

Am I retarded or was I not supposed to just put the code into a new ~/.xinitrc file since there wasn't one there previously?

Is everything in Debian's stable repo old stuff? Like, is it possible to run new hardware, or will it be a few months before Debian stable supports the 1080/1070/1060/480?

How do I fix the sensitivity of a bluetooth mouse in Debian? I'm running LMDE and that shit doesn't lower it enough. I'm trying to use xinput but the fucking thing is giving me some kind of lag everytime i move it to the left-right.

>>55565765
You can add the files anywhere on the flash drive.
But to access them once you boot into the live Xubuntu environment, you'll need to look in the "cdrom" mount location. This will be mounted read-only, just as an fyi.

>>55566238
Maybe its not using the user dependent script and is using a global one like in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or something?

Mostly yes. They like to be stable.
On running new hardware, I'd recommend just using Debian testing or another bleeding edge distribution.
Don't expect Pascal support anytime soon unless you want to use proprietary drivers. Kernel 4.7 has AMDGPU with Polaris support, but it's still on revisions and not out yet.

>>55566336
Stable is generally a bit dated, yes. Jessie is running kernel 3.16 iirc.

If you need, you can try bringing it up to date with backports in the meantime, or try Testing instead.

try blkid, find the drive and mount /dev/location /mountpoint or add it to /etc/fstab based on its uuid or label? Not really sure thats strange

maybe some ideas :
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/175239/mount-an-usb-dmesg-shows-nothing

>>55558735
think there should also be some podcast/magazine info (obviously about Linux) in the copy pasta as well.

So to mount an external HDD you need to make a folder in /media and add the mount point to the fstab.
Whenever you remove the drive that folder is still there... What happens if you write data to that folder then plug in the external HDD and mount it?

Anyone have that pic with the before/after listing different software/tech terms all being called "app" now with Jobs smirking in the corner?

>>55567342
normally theres already a folder on /media to mount it too. If nothings using it like a psuedoterminal or program you can remove it using umount /media/dir. If you write data to it its just gunna sit there, it wont write to the disk unless its mounted. So whatever you wrote will probably disappear when you mount it and reappear when its removed. But thats a hard mount so if you just unplug it your just gunna get an i/o error until you fix it.

>>55567490
don't get why this is recommended

>>55567492
so basically mount, do stuff with drive files, unmount. which is handelled by fstab if its plugged in during boot. Granted there are alot of automatic things nowadays that recognize and automatically mount it but in a pinch you can do that.

>>55567497
It isn't recommended under any circumstances. That post was edited and then removed pretty much immediately due to the shitstorm it caused.

>>55567497
Look at any and all support forums. Some people just have to "help" somehow, even if their recommendation is absolutely retarded.

>>55567492
oh another thing, if its in fstab and you plug it in later just do mount -a and it goes through all the drives listed in it/ mounts them.

Hello friends,

i am giving linux another chance/playing around with my raspi, and yesterday I wanted to share the nginx/www folder on the network with samba, in order to be able to edit it directly. And as always with a task like that, I had to change 1500 things, in the end don't know how I managed to do it, and I have no writing permissions, just can browse the /www folder. How can I avoid this next time, i want to be better, i want to learn!

>>55568004
Have you tried making it executable?

>>55568023
uhh i'm fairly new to this.

I right click it go to properties > permission then allow executing as a program, that's what i'm meant to do right?

I have done that, but it still aint working

Kubuntu or Ubuntu, why ?

>>55568020
Samba is hard and complicated. Maybe something else might have been enough?
You could try reading manuals instead of doing things blindly. It helps.

>>55568041
Try running it in a terminal so you see the error. Open it in the folder (or cd to it) and try ./executable or bash executable

>>55567868

So I built linux-libre in a Void VM for shits, but attempting to boot with it results in:

not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I'm assuming this means the virtual hard disk device in Virtualbox uses some driver blob that GNU went and removed from the kernel. Is there any wizardy I can invoke while configuring the kernel to fix this or is linux-libre just not going to be compatible with vbox?

>>55568731
Did you compile the kernel with support for the filesystem used by the root partition?

I'm running Dolphin on Arch/KDE and for some reason when I connect my Galaxy S6 with USB to my PC I can only use a PTP connection, but when I try to connect with MTP dophin can't find the storage and my phone keeps spamming an "Allow access to device data" (if I accept I just get the same popup again immediately).

Is this an issue with AndroidOS or am I missing some package I need (my old galaxy s4 could transfer files just fine).

So one of my Linux machines no longer take any notice of one my external USB HDD.

I was changing something in the partition table, and after it wrote changes and attempted to update the kernel partition maps whatever the kernel panicked and the stack trace looked like it had something to do with the USB subsystem.

When I plug in the HDD into that machine, it is not under lsblk, there are no messages printed to dmesg about it, lsusb doesn't show anything useful, and the light on the drive indicates that nothing is happening.
Yet when I plug the same drive into any other machine running Linux, there are no problems and I can mount it and the filesystem is perfectly intact.

I have tried booting an arch livecd on the affected machine and the problem still persists.

Which means the problem either exists on the drive hardware/firmware that only manifests itself on that machine (due to the kernel crash maybe), or more likely, the problem exists on the USB hardware on the affected machine.

Would anyone know what the problem is? is there any chance of solving this problem?
This is a pretty big issue for me, I need that drive to work with that specific machine.
