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.

i've been trying to setup xdmcp on ubuntu 16.04 using gnome, port is listening and i can connect remotely but after login it shows black screen and shows me login again

Anyone know how to fix having icons turn black when they are selected? I'm using mint, and evidently I fucked up a file, but I've uninstalled the theme/.css files I've edited the most so I don't know where to go.

Been having tons of problems just getting a linus distro to boot properly on my rig
amd cpu
amd gpu
Tried mint and kubuntu both gave me graphical errors and froze unless I used nomodeset, but then I was on an unusable resolution.....
decided to try lubuntu as I read about the upcoming DE featured on it.
Put it on a usb and had absolutly no problems booting to a fully usable live desktop, full resolution, even recognized my dual monitors without me having to write a book in grub.
Seems a bit ironic it was the bloat in the popular distros that was causing my issue

Randomly i have been having horrible performance on a few drives.
I have done maintence on all of them, but they dont seem to change anything.I jumps from ~300mb/s for about 30 seconds then it drops down to less then 10mb/s randonmly. Days it works fine, then later it swaps back to being shit

Maybe a stupid question rather than a GNU/Linux question but I was wondering how does intel graphics work out of the box in any Linux installation? I'm asking without fully understanding if the thing that is working actually a part of kernel that does the graphical computation in CPU. Can someone enlighten me?
>>55627245
>>55627631
That was pretty silly of me. Thanks anons.
>>55627480
Thanks. It doesn't appear to have that many options however. Also took a look at the kde converter, and holy shit.
>>55627631
How come you need to specify codecs in ffmpeg sometimes? Like when converting to webm, you gotta go "-c:v libvpx" or do you not actually have to do that..?
>>55627920
NEVER KDE OR GNOME LIBS

How can I be sure when I remove a package that it won't break something else on my installation?
>>55627919
Works fine for me. You might want to putOption "TearFree" "true"in your xorg.conf if screen tearing is an issue for you.
>>55627929
You need that codec for webm encoding depending on where you're posting it.4chan cant use vpx9 so it uses vpx8
>>55627929
If you want something other than the default. For example, when encoding webms to post to 4chan, you must usr the -c:v vp8 codec because 4chan doesn't support ffmpeg's default vp9 webms.
How do I check if dd is running on a server remotely from terminal?
I can view all the processes but I am unsure how to limit results to things that contain 'dd'
>>55628066ps wwaux | grep dd
>>55628066
I don't understand. Do you want to see exactly what dd is cloning at the moment or just want to check if it's running?
If former, I'd advise a google search with terms "dd verbose". If latter you can do:ps -e | grep dd

Has anyone got pixivutil to work?
I've downloaded all the modules it requires but it fails on a lot of images.
>>55628093
It's just writing zeroes from a failed attempt before (the cloned disk was unreadable). So I just want to see if its running.
Thanks.
>>55628080
Thanks

>>55628093
>>55628080
Is 18435 dd?
If not - I think it isn't running anymore which may have caused the problems before.
I am at work and SSHing to home - how do I run DD from here so it doesn't care if my wifi connection goes down or not (I have to move between rooms so I close my laptop).
Thanks for your help.
>>55628146
Forgot my screenshot
>>55628146
That is process number probably. It shouldn't only give process numbers. That number is unique, I can't say 18435 will always be given to dd.
ssh is a different process, I'm not sure what it does by default when the connection is down but you can configure it to keep everything going no matter what. Because it's just another computer, just because the connection is gone doesn't mean it should stop.
>>55628146
>>55628163
No, 18435 is the grep command you just ran. If that's the only one then the previous dd is no longer running.
>>55628202
Hm, how do I start dd over SSH so it doesn't fail when the terminal that contains it loses connection?
>>55628229
could you tell us what the hell are you trying to do?
you don't even know how to use this... yet you are using dd. sounds dangerous as hell m8
>>55628229
There is nohup for these kind of stuff but the other kind person is right. You should describe your objective along with your problem. (Refer to xy problem)
>>55628243
I'm trying to clone an old drive onto another. It failed previously so I decided to write zeros.
I'm trying to copy /dev/sda to /dev/sdc
I am tempted to use ddrescue next time the first dd took ages and it ended up failing (probably same reason as this one).
:)
I'm just trying to start the process of
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc remotely in a way that will keep working until I get home to save some tome.
>>55628264
One of my drives I am storing things on is old and has some bad sectors (posts read errors regularly at certain parts of the disk).
I want to clone it and then write zeros to the drive to try correct the sectors (or otherwise bin it).
I have a spare drive of the same capacity (2TB).
I'm making a media server and want to put everything on new hard drives.
Thanks for your help so far :)
PS should I restart the dd if=/dev/zero before just copying the whole disk?
Do I copy sda1 or sda? I've been copying sda :)
So far the original drive is missing so I've only wasted time (and maybe a bit of lifespan on the other drive)
>>55628283
Ok, so the ssh issue: You have about 3 alternatives,
-Change your ssh configuration so that it does not kill your session when you hang up.
-Use nohup for the process you want to run so when you hang up the process won't get killed.
-Use screen to keep your session alive.
sda is the name of the drive sda1 should be the partition. Use lsblk to check which one is which if unsure and you look like you are unsure. One complete rewrite won't kill a hard drive (even thousands won't even then they're cheap), so just learn how to do it for the sake of your future hard drives.
I'm not sure if there's a way to check how much of it is already filled with zeroes, so I can't advise you on whether or not you should do it again. But you may want to do it just for practice. Again it's not necessary to fill it with zeros before cloning something. You may need to alter the partitioning table though.
>>55628341
Here's lsblk
sdc was /dev/zero'd and it hung up. No partition is there. I tried pushing it to the background with bg before I hung up, but according to running processes it didn't work.
I want to clone sda to sdc
Would the correct command for no hangup be;nohup dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc conv=noerror,sync
The drive has read/write errors quite frequently, but seems to work ok for now (for playing the media on it).
Should I use ddrescue instead?
Is the nohup syntax correct?
>>55628419
Yeah this goes beyond my expertise, I can't advise you on these as I'm not knowledgeable on failing hard drives.

>>55628419
is sda1 full (run df -h)? do you really need to copy the whole drive, and not just the used space?
how/why does it fail? just a few bad sectors or physical/logical damage? what does SMART data says? (run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda to check, data is under "SMART Attributes Data Structure"
1.8T is a lot of space... it will take some time, and if the drive is failing, it may die.
>>55628588
lemme guess: UEFI system and you don't know how to manage it
>>55628653
Yes it is full. It is dying over lifetime and because it is wdgreen..I dunno about bad sectors
fucking pissed, did a dist-upgrade from xubuntu 15.10 to 16.04 and my laptop started doing weird shit. I boot and log into xfce and it works, I log out and try to log back in and it gives me a black screen. Same happens with i3. Reinstalled intel drivers, cleaned shit with dpkg-reconfigure and rechecked if everything was fine with lightdm.

Drivers.
>>55627370
3.4.3 here too and this is how it looks at startup. I think the statusbar is being displayed, but you might have meant something else.
>>55627953
Because a sane package manager with sane dependencies (added by humans) won't remove needed things. It might only remove some optional stuff required, but your package manager should inform you about that.

I want to go the whole summer with a linux distro and I can't decide between Debian and one of the *buntus. What are the pros and cons of each?

Ubuntu is just a copy of Debian with added spy and cuckware. Get the real thing.
>>55630984
Try Manjaro. You can do anything with it like on Arch, but it comes prericed and is easy to use for newcomers. Also the ArchWiki will help you a lot learning the system. If you care about freedom, try Debian or Trisquel.
>>55631212
>You can do anything with it like on Arch
You can do anything with any distribution like on Arch.
>Also the ArchWiki will help you a lot learning the system
That's a buzz phrase and means nothing. Anything you can learn on Arch, can be learned on other distributions as well.

>Debian isn't FSF approved
The FSF is just extremely strict in their approval of distros. Debian is free as in freedom, but it gives users the option to download non-free parts, if they want.
From the Debian Social Contract:
>We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of works that do not conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We have created "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our archive for these works. The packages in these areas are not part of the Debian system, although they have been configured for use with Debian.

It's a brush tool in GIMP for some reason, so people made a meme out of it where the acronym stands for "Green Is My Pepper" or some shit.

What's the best "it just werks" GNU/Linux distro with KDE? Is it kubuntu?
Just installed Ubuntu.
A constant noise (that of a radio that is not tuned) is heard in my headphones.
This did not happen in Windows 10.
Tried every instructions on the Internet regarding this issue. None worked.
Help. I don't want to give up on Linux just yet.
Guys, how can I open a .dll file to read its insides on Linux?
There's some code I need to hack apart from it, but normal text editors don't seem to read it well. It's just an M and an unreadable character (like a font I don't have installed)
>>55634199
Any distribution using KDE4.x, maybe Slackware. KDE5.x is a broken mess, especially on my dual-monitor desktop, and the developers keep blaming other people, graphics drivers and Qt. Switched to GNOME and now I can actually use my PC. I have no use for lots f config options if basic stuff just doesn't work.
>>55634231
Well let's narrow down the problem
Do you hear the same thing through your speakers? Or is it exclusively through your headphones?
Is it with just *those* headphones or with any headphones/earbuds you plug in?
>>55634153
thanks, that did the trick
>>55634231
Turn off the microphone.

Is it possible to get another HDD in my desktop and boot Linux on it while keeping the other HDD with Windows installed with boot priority?
Will this work?
I'm looking for something that would make me auto boot to Windows unless I press some buttons during post or something like that
>>55634260
Both through speakers and headphones.
Strangely, only the left speaker/headphone produce this sound.
>>55634274
Did not work.
>>55634339
You could set the boot order to favor the windows HDD, and then use the one-time boot override option to get at the Linux drive when needed.
This is probably simplest.
>>55634284
green is my pepper
>>55634379
To clarify, both of these are BIOS functions. I think most boards support a one-time boot menu nowadays

Why do you act passive agressive about it?
It's not like we're going to beg you to stay if you can't have the perseverance to solve a little hurdle. We're not your personal tech support, if someone has an idea right away they'll tell you, but that's it. Google around
>>55634534
You'll miss a lot of fun.
>>55634555
Googled around for hours. Tried several solutions. None worked. Guessed this was my last resort. Seemed like none of you knows how to solve this. Bid my farewell. Why did this trigger you? Are you having a period?
I have to wonder what these people are using that exhibits these bizarre exotic hardware issues.
I've been running Linux for going on 10 years (on as many devices), and the worst I've seen is missing wireless drivers.
Oh well
>>55634586
Just curious, go to your terminal and type alsamixer. Press F6 and select option numbered 1, post results
>>55634586
It would help if you told us what you tried
Become involved in your solution, you know
>>55634602
same
>>55634618
Opened Alsamixer. Got pic related.
Pressed F6. System sound muted. Nothing happens in Alsamixer.
>>55625943
>>55634711
Press F6 again, which options do you get? I have made the first wrong assumption, so this is interesting
>>55634711
>Pressed F6, system sound muted
You mean when you pressed F6, that muted your sound?
Maybe you can only access F6 with an Fn key because the default is mute? I didn't understand you very well
>>55634739
Pressed F6. System sound unmuted. No change in Alsamixer.
>>55634784
Are you on a laptop? Is your F6 key bound to mute by itself?
Is there an Fn key you have to push with F6 to actually press F6? (Fn+F6)
>>55634759
>>55634739
>>55634784
Oh yes this is the case.
I got this.
When ever i am doing i/o itensive tasks, it will randomly constantly hard lock the system for 3-5 seconds.
What could cause this?
I have schedtoold setup, but it dosent seem to be working
>>55634806
Use your arrow keys and Enter to show us what it shows you on Default and HDA Intel PCH respectively. Take the picture on each and then Fn+F6 to go to the other one, then take the picture
(the one you were showing here >>55634711 is HDA Intel HDMI so you can skip that one)

Why doesn't it surprise me that Ubuntu managed to mess something so simple up
I hope it's easy to fix
>>55634839
pressing enter on default closes the window
ditto on hda intel pch shows this.
>>55625943
That isn't even the original picture. The original picture is not flipped.
Is Fedora the right distro for me?
I just noticed that some posts ITT are deleted, and sometimes they are deleted immediately...
are mods monitoring /fglt/? are they really such control freaks?
One of my drives is being a bitch and not letting me write on it on my normal account. What would be the steps to unbitch it?
>>55634891
>default closes the window
uwotm8
I have a feeling this might be the issue.
Two questions:
What happens when you use your arrow keys in that Intel PCH window to select master and speaker and boost them up to 100? Does the radio noise get louder or no? Try it with just the speakers, not headphones
Do you have PulseAudio installed?
>>55634942
If people are anything like me, they might just delete their posts because of a typo, or because after re-reading the post, it sounds petty or stupid. Or maybe mods are dicks. I think people would speak up if they were being censored, tho.
>>55634942
Typos, "oh shit I sound like a faggot", etc. I figure that the mods have an eye on this general because of the Windows kiddies that come and shit things up.
>>55634969
>I figure that the mods have an eye on this general because of the Windows kiddies that come and shit things up.
Yet the shitposts like that never get removed...
>>55634965
>>55634969
sorry for not saying this before, in >>55634942 , I was talking about my own posts, and also, some very useful pic someone posted at the start of the thread. my last post was a joke, and got deleted in 5 minutes or so
When should I upgrade to Fedora 24?
>>55634959
What model is your laptop? Hp Pavillion what?
Because googling around showed me that it can sometimes have issues with sound card drivers on Ubuntu, so this information might help.
Honestly I would rather you were using Debian to be of more help, but oh well whatever
>>55634959
>>55634959
i mean pressing enter on "-default" closes the sky-blue window within the alsamixer window in which "default" "0 HDA Intel HDMI" and "1 HDA Intel PCH" are.
>What happens when you use your arrow keys in that Intel PCH window to select master and speaker and boost them up to 100? Does the radio noise get louder or no? Try it with just the speakers, not headphones
Nothing.
>Do you have PulseAudio installed?
No.
>>55635013
>at the start of the
*previous thread
anyway, nevermind, I got this and the previous thread mixed where I made a bunch of posts that I thought had been deleted...
still, my last post got deleted quickly, and that's weird
>>55635089
this was for you >>55635042 , please give us the model of your laptop
And when you press "-default" you just go back to whatever screen you were in before?
It doesn't show you something like this with just PulseAudio above to the left?
If not, here might be the issue. Install PulseAudio (it's weird to me that it isn't already installed. maybe it's misconfigured?)

Tell me about GNOME 3. What does it offer compared to KDE 5? I'm attached to my taskbar, so how well could I transfer over?
>>55635152
should i reinstall ubuntu and get back to this thread? considering it will only take like 5 mins
>>55635205
Why would you want to? systemd deps are just as bad as KDE deps, and G3's interface is utterly retarded compared to KDE.
>>55635213
If you didn't mess with the audio settings, I don't see any reason to reinstall your whole OS. It should have worked out of the box.
I'd rather we tried fixing it with what we have. If you're going to try changing, at least change to Debian. Ubuntu is kind of a shitshow
>>55635205
Why are you attached to the taskbar? You can enable one via gnome-tweak-tool, but it's kinda shit. (see pic related)
I've just gotten used to not having to see which windows are open at all times. I use alt+tab mostly, and it works well with a mouse.

Consider just doing a Debian netinstall. If the same shit happens there and we can't fix it, then it's beyond me.
If you wanna do it, here's the ISO that you can burn to an USB.

I'm a converted Win7 guy, and I can't let go of my current workflow. I used OSX for a little while and I haven't been able to get used to the dock. Main reason I'm thinking about this is because I've had a few problems lately with KDE and I haven't been able to fix them.

Whatever you think you need flash player for, you don't.
>>55636879
>using mememoon
>using flash
Mememoon is pointless, and they use a V2X version of firefox. Its old and outdated. They force you to use different addons because you're using addons it cant support because its done poorly.
Just use firefox-aurora

It's for twitch.tv and I know I can use mpv and/or livestreamer. Oh yea and porn dudes.
>>55636915
Does aurora use the ugly ass fucking customize screen? And the shitty new preferences?? I honestly prefer this too firefox 47 or whatever it's at.
>>55636700
Whatever it is you like doing. I like your theme, by the way - even though I loathe Unity.
For me, the first thing I do when installing Linux is add some aliases and functions to my .bashrc
