Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Meet the /fglt/ team:

Anyone have any recommendations on this?

Nethogs isn't what I'm looking for since that seems to show how much bandwidth each process uses, but I'm looking for a monitor of each connection's bandwidth, restricted to only one process.

Windows' Resource Monitor actually manages to do this, so surely there's a linux tool that can handle the job.

Hello and thank you for a more SFW image.

I am curious as to how to enable html5 in a firefox browser on linux.

I googled "html 5 linux" and all I can seem to find it tricks and leet hacks to enable it.

Is it not available on linux natively yet?

I need to unmount of drives and maintence them.
>>
>>55591950
unmount which drives?

If it's your / drive then do maintenance from a live CD.

Otherwise shutdown just sends SIGTERM to all processes, then SIGKILL a few seconds later. If you have a system with init you could switch to runlevel 1 (
sudo init 1
I believe), but if the drive ISN'T your / drive then you shouldn't even need to go that far to unmount it.

extra data drives, /home, /srv
They are slow as fuck(1mb/s) so i need to defrag(showing 50-85% fragmentation) and repair them(xfs)

$mod+w

If you want to split the tab vertically then $mod+v afterward.

if i want a list of all the software installed on my computer i do
sudo dpkg --get-selections


but that list doesn't include , for example, htop, glances, etc...

that is, programs you install by typing

where can i get a list of the software i installed on the command line?

Imagine if I had a container with two windows opened and if I wanted to create a container in place of one of those windows with a tabbed layout. If I pressed $mod+w, it would just change the layout of the parent container to tabbed. I don't want that.

I just formatted a external HDD with ext4 (and LUKS encryption).
Now I couldn't write anything to it. So I changed the write/read permissions of the mounted (mounted it by entering the password on the GUI) to everybody as root, recursively for everything that already was on the disk.
> drwxr-xrwx 3 root root 4096 Jul 15 15:08 externalHDD
Was this the right thing to do?

When I plug it into another Linux system somewhere, will I be able to directly access it with read/write privileges now too?

And why are there missing some GB of free spaced (df -h for that external HDD):

It's a 1TB HDD, so 917GB should be the real GiB value. I don't think df mixes up GB and GiB in the same line.

Invariably as soon as I ask, I will figure this question out for myself, so I'm going to ask --

On one of my Debian machines (Openbox), MOC "scales" to fit the terminal window (terminator) when I stretch it. On the other it doesn't. I can't figure out why and I don't even know what search terms to use to try and figure it out myself.

I will post the solution if I figure it out in the meantime but am asking for suggestions.

You seem to be using a terminal with poor support for ncurses.

Of course, it could be that your other terminal is xterm and somehow you added something weird to your .Xresources, but that seems highly unlikely.

Both are Terminator, but one is whatever version Debian Stable is using, the other is Testing+Updates (which is the one that works oddly). To be honest I'm not sure how to check versioning.

I don't think it's an ncurses-application-specific problem since alsamixer, for instance, "scales" fine on both systems (thanks for the suggestion to check).

Maybe it's actually MOC but I don't understand why.

Need some help with SSH and key authentication on ubuntu. I created a new user and added to sudo group. I did all the key shenaningans and it works perfectly. However, if i add the line "PasswordAuthentication no" to sshd_config, it no longer works. All i get is "Permission denied (publickey)". The password is correct because if i type the wrong one, it prompts me to type it again. Also i have the exact same setup on another server which works.

So why does that line alone cause permission denied? So confusing....
>>
>>55596421
running xterm instead of terminator gives me the same behavior in the "bad" system as terminator, for what that's worth

dist-upgrade did nothing, but I'm not surprised since none of the packages seemed to have anything to do with moc or ncurses or terminator

I ran Synaptic to look at the versioning (there's probably an easy CL option I just don't know it) and the MOC version IS different between the two -- 1:2.5.0-1 vs 1:2.6.0-svn-r2848-1

Has anyone here installed the PCSX2 playstation 2 emulator on Debian or any other non-Ubuntu distro?

I was just curious how you went about it, if you have.
>>
>>55597151
I've been playing PCSX2 nonstop for the past few weeks.

For Debian I imagine you can just clone the git repo and follow the usual build instructions if there's no package for it.
>>
>>55597151
Debian here, It's on the repos:
$ apt policy pcsx2
pcsx2:i386:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.4.0+dfsg-2
Version table:
1.4.0+dfsg-2 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main i386 Packages

It's not up to date however. I guess you would go and build it from their git repo.

The best course of action would probably be:

>build from git

If it still doesn't work then you might need to manually update any dependencies that are too far behind, but at least it should tell you which ones are problematic.

Can anyone help me get eth0 working on gentoo? I have a realtek rtl8101 ethernet controller. I installed the driver tarball from realteks website and lspci -k shows the module under my nic. Modprobe loads the module, but /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start gives an error of eth0 does not exist.
In my arch install lsmod gives the mii.o module as being for eth0, but I cant find any media independent interface options in /usr/src/linux/.config except for specific phy modules. I dont know where to go from here.

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with a ClearOS install. I've tried it out on one machine with the same hardware excepting the motherboard and onboard NIC.

I can't get the NIC on the mobo I actually want to use for my server to work during the initialisation process.

The NIC is intel ethernet i217-v (rev 4).

It shows up if I ask terminal to print my hardware tagged with ethernet but otherwise shows as not connected.

Any ideas?

Anyway, I think you're probably missing some video driver packages. And that the xfconf thing is separate issue. Did you install from netinstall and build up from there without selecting a desktop in tasksel? Probably missing packages. Maybe use tasksel to install whole debian DE and remove what you don't need instead of starting with very little and building up from there when ur not sure what you do need.
>>
>>55599923
I'm kind of new to linux, and I just brought my new PC. I installed debian jessie with XFCE on it thought the live usb, and initially sound and graphics werem't working. I couldn't watch videos except HTML5 in the browser. So I added jessie-backports to my sources.list and that automatically upgraded my kernel to 4.6 and solved most issues except this. i'm not entirely sure my PC and internal graphics are supported yet (Pentium G4400) so I'm holding back on the reinstall.

No, they did not and still does not. I just checked.

Also, if it's a clue, when I boot my system, the initial lines of code with those [ OK } indicators in green runs at a lower resolution.

Have you upgraded your video driver from backports?

yes. This is what aptitude shows:

Do I have to do something weird to get Vim to support unicode characters? I'm running it out of urxvt, I assumed that'd be all that needs to be done. If I put unicode into urxvt it shows up fine, but when I go into vim and put the same character it shows up as a box.

I need to write a command to copy all log files to a directory except files that start with a. How do I do this? I know how to exclude with grep and how to find and -exec but how do I find grep and .exec a cp all in a command? Is there a way to exclude with find? I thought instead or -o for multiple criteria I could use something else for a negative criteria but the man page on this is hard to sift through or its not there.

Dumb question but how do people actually install an operating system on a purely headless server?

The concept has blown my mind for too long now
>>
>>55604550
Either they plug a monitor in for installation, or the headless server is a VM and they can use VNC or the virtualization manager's console to see what they're doing.

Then once it's installed just ssh for days.

So after doing some reading I see you just can't have cross-compilation support enabling multiarch.

So would it be safe for me to remove the amd64 version and use the i386 version? Or should I just deny pcsx2 from installing that notification package and keep my amd64 version?

pls advice
