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.

Hello. I need to know a way to change Deluge text interface. "Upload Speed" and "Download Speed" require too much space to be shown, much more than the speed on the other cells below. I can't just contract the column, because I speak a latin language, and then I would see only "Speed..." and "Speed...", as this word come first in both columns.
How can I do this?
Has anyone here managed to get the subwoofer on their Lenovo Y50 working under Ubuntu(or any distro for that matter)?
I've found a stackexchange page on the issue, but the posts seem to suggest the sggested solution was a dead end. I'm thinking of going Ubuntu Gnome over upgrading to Win 10 but it really would suck if the subwoofer doesn't work because I watch a lot of stuff and listen to music on this machine.
Even under Windows it appears the speakers function at reduced power output at lower volumes unless I "turn on" this utility which seems to have been packaged with the audio driver. This effect is less pronounced at max volume, which leads me to think it might just be some kind of software dynamic range compression processing. It really makes a pronounced "oomph" to the loudness and general audio quality of the speakers.
So much so that I don't understand why this isn't an always on thing.(I need to manually enable it every reboot/cold boot)
>>54497749
fix: I meant "interface text", not "text interface".
>>54497749

Nope, I own zero audio equipment since I'm not settled. I live in a rented apartment abroad and will probably be moving overseas in just under a years again. I can't be bothered to take my time and buy expensive/heavy gear which I will have to sell off before I move.
Mostly make do with headphones but sometimes I let the speakers on their notebook do the job since they are pretty decent for onboard audio and good enough for watching a show or movie.

I'm going to change my torrent client, from uTorrent to Deluge. How can I make uTorrent generate the .torrent files from the files loaded in the program, so I can "import" them on Deluge?
>>54498321
mo files are compiled po files. Download the one for your language from the Deluge repository (I assume they have one), edit it and compile it with msgfmtmsgfmt your_file.po -o your_language.mo
>>54498365
I'm pretty sure uTorrent keeps them somewhere in a directory. Search your harddrive for .torrent files to find it.

I want my screen to turn red when my battery runs low, like redshift/flux. I already wrote the script that checks for the battery state, but I'm struggling with giving the screen a red tint, where should I start? Is this possible with xrandr maybe?
>>54499235
you can attach the script to redshift and just change the screen temperature while the battery returns a certain value or below it.
>>54499235
http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/sct-set-color-temperature
I actually prefer it over redshift because it's just some bytes, a single .c file and - scriptable.
There are also some forks on github.

I installed Ubuntu in a VirtualBox yesterday and today I was trying few DEs, I had Unity as default, then tried GNOME and XFCE, when I gave the command to install KDE Plasma, during the installation it showed 1 error message but kept on going, when it was done, I tried to Log Out to switch the DE but pic related started showing, and here is the thing: I forgot the username (XDDDD)
So is there a way to pass through that login screen with some sort of command?
In the second screen, if I try the first option, it goes to the third screen, if I try the second, if offers 'Use default configuration' and 'Use your backed up configuration' but when I press Ok in both options, nothing happens. If I choose the 3rd option, I can see 'xserver logfile', 'review start up errors' and 'edit configuration file'.
I could just erase this virtual machine but as I am trying to learn GNU I want to try and solve this problem. I guess its the graphic card.

>>54500378
There is a reason to do them manually. This way you can see potential bugs and dependency issues. If you make it so that it only upgrades if there are no issues it should be fine.
>>54500424
Everything works fine setting it manualy with ip.

Is there some recommended tool for backing up dotfiles? Currently I'm simply copying my home directory regularly to an external ext-formatted drive (it's only a few GB because I symlinked every XDG user folder to a HDD).
However I would have assumed that there was something neater for tar.gz*-ing the most important dotfiles, and by that I mean not just creating a dotfiles folder and symlinking it across the system. When I say dotfiles I mean my entire Firefox profile for example, which is a bit cloudstorage-unfriendly.

Which Linux file browser displays the largest thumbnails?

>>54502329
>>54502361

You have a 64GB usb to use as a persistent liveUSB what distro do you put on it?
>>54502624

Hi, I'm using Arch Linux mostly full time but still chained to Windows for gaming. I'm tired of dual-booting so I'd like to try setting up a Windows VM with GPU passthrough since it seems like all the cool kids are doing that these days. My question is how do you maintain your VM after installation? I know you can section off your hard drive for the VM, but should I install games there as well? Or could I install them on an NTFS partition elsewhere on the drive? I feel uncomfortable keeping installs and save files "inside" the VM since I'm worried it if it breaks or gets deleted somehow I'll lose all my Windows data.
why has nobody made breeze themes for gtk-based distros? They have the gtk theme, but no shell theme or icon pack. It pisses me off
Anytime I run a checkdisk on every live usb I make I have 1 or 2 errors as the result. I've used different ISOs, md5 checked every ISO file, checked the md5 for the USB installer program, and checked my USB for errors and everything came back fine.
What could be causing these errors, it's driving me crazy
>>54499696
Q U O D L I B E T
>>54503433
That has nothing to do with tint2. It can display system tray items if the software you're using has one. Network Manager comes with the nm-applet.
Also, stop saying that i3 with a panel and other shit isn't a desktop environment, but Xfce with the same shit, but a different window manager, is.
>>54505608
Because you can us the Breeze icons for GTK applications too. The only thing it's missing is the GNOME shell theme, but maybe look harder. Someone might be working on it.
>>54505566
>I'd like to try setting up a Windows VM with GPU passthrough
just use WINE
all but 2 or 3 of the games I've tried, work perfectly on WINE
its always slower than native windows, but the difference in FPS is very small.
In contrast, I've never had better than 75% speed on a VM comparing to native
>>54505832
I think Win10 IoT in dualboot is better for this purpose.
>>54505728
Pls respond

>>54506035
How are you create bootable USB? I recommend to use Rufus in windows, and select gpt/efi layout
>>54506059
I was using the universal usb installer from pendrivelinux, after swapping to rufus though it didn't return any errors. Thanks
>>54506059
>>54506193
Ok, I'm really confused now. When I tried to install off of that USB I got pic related as an error. It can't be the disk I'm installing to since it's brand new.
Open source or proprietary drivers for amd when im trying to play some vidya games?
>>54506672
TIAS. Open sores driver isn't alwayd the best but probably works for non-shit games. So if that doesn't work then try proprietary. No harm in swapping.
>Windows 10 on my regular pc

How many of you dual boot windows and linux instead of using just one
And how has it helped you so far
>>54507038
Just started today. Its nice to be able to fall back on something if I fuck something up.
>>54506672
If you have a GCN 1.0 card you're probably fucked. Both have pretty distasteful performance on the desktop.
>>54505832
Not kidding here, I have better speed (and stability of course) from running Adobe tools on a virtual machine than using Wine. I haven't managed yet to make InDesign work on that.
And many bigger games now require DX10/11.
>>54507059
>radeon 7850 - gcn 1.0
fuck
this may be the reason i get 25% fo my old windows fps on vidyer right?
>>54507038
Dual booting is the most retarded thing. The only excuse for dual booting is if you do something really specific, which can be separated cleanly. That way you can start your computer, do that specific task and then switch to your full time operating system. If you have to go back and switch operating systems later on, then you're doing it wrong.
>>54507098
Well not really, you won't get the exact same with another one. But some GPUs are better supported on Linux.
I have a 280x and I cannot recommend using any DE that's not netbook tier on that unless you enjoy the occasional stutter.
>>54507140
Some of us aren't linux pros and like a fallback in case shit goes bananas.
>>54507156
balls deep or bust you can always try to fix that stuff
>>54507142
so i will have to pass on trying vidya and visual fancyness if i want good performance. Thats a shame desu
>>54507038
Did you mean GNU/Linux?
>>54507156
Most of the people are rich and have a desktop and laptop computer. Despite that, they still choose to have TWO operating systems installed on one computer and switch between them for the most menial tasks.
If things go wrong, you can just keep a Windows installation DVD/USB flash drive around to go back for good. If you want to just "play around" (whatever that means) with Linux, do it in a virtual machine. It saves more time.
>>54507199

>>54507338

Is 2GB enough for a 64Bit installation?
>>54507434
It's not a question about RAM, it's a question about what your processor supports.
>>54507444
Ah thanks anon, can't believe I was being this stupid
One more thing:
Do you think 16GB enough for a heavy install? (I will take out /home if that helps)
I just realised Arch is actually a really easy distro to deal with.
Thanks /g/, otherwise I'd still be stuck with mint
Ok, i'm getting rid of Kali Linux as this is just some bullshit locked down system with scriptkid tools.

Ubuntu/Fedora
Whenever i loop a video (for example hit replay button on youtube, or auto-loop in facebook) the video gets distorted like in pic related.
also on some videos it happens that on the bottom part of the video there is a ~10 pixel wide stripe duplicating the pixels above that stripe, looking like a smear.
i'm using debian stable and iceweasel.
using intel hd graphics on my dual core i3 and tried both possible drivers for my cpu, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in iceweasel.
if anyone has an idea how to fix this i would be very grateful.
>>54507427
>using that bloat
It says right down there on the bottom of the default page.
Is there an explanation how to create patch files and apply them?
Every time I create one, I have to hope that it works after applying. I always end up trying various -p values, etc and it never goes smoothly.
Is there a rule of thumb in which directory I have to be when using diff, how to name the files, etc?
What's the default file the ufw rules are stored in?
I'm using webmin and added a few ports, which show up when using sudo ufw status but when I open ports via terminal the new ports do not show up in the webmin module.
Webmin ufw config points to /var/ufw/user.rules
I'm on ubuntu btw.
how do i know which kernel i should use?
>>54508237
Whichever one your distro gives you, unless you have some special need (or are using gentoo)
>>54508237
the latest release, unless it gives you problems. So exactly what you do with all software
Reminder to use printf over echo.
Why?
- compatibility
- efficience
- power
While echo implementations may be different on some operating systems, printf stays printf.
Can make your scripts faster by "emulating" loops, date/time, char and int formattings.

WHY THE FUCKING FUCK IS adwaita-icon-theme A DEPENDENCY OF GTK3 ON ARCH LINUX?

EVEN IF I MANUALLY FUCKING SET THE CURSOR THEME, FIREFOX JUST FUCKING IGNORES IT AND USES ADWAITA ANYWAY, AND LXAPPEARANCE FUCKING SETS THE CURSOR THEME BACK TO ADWAITA WHEN IT IS STARTED.
I CAN'T JUST pacaman -Rdd adwaita-icon-theme BECAUSE IT JUST FUCKING COMES BACK NEXT GTK3 UPDATE, AND I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR ABOUT A FUCKING YEAR.

If you have ssh enabled you can just sed the line out of your .bashrc as the initial command since it executes before whatever happens in the .bashrc
>>54508408
and if you use bash the echo can consume some parts of the thing you are echoing if it thinks they are arguments.
So I'm writing a shell script that takes arguments (-a,-b,-c and --help) using case. How can I catch "no argument" and "not a,b,c or help"? I tried *) but it seems to catch only both variants.
>>54508408
printf can also prevent variable name exploits when you use it like this:printf 'variable is %s' "$variable"
>>54508868
hackers: yes, it doesn't REALLY PREVENT things, hence the "can" :^)
>>54508846
Not a wizard, but you could just add af [ $# -eq 0 ]; thencheck before parsing the actual arguments.
>>54507083
They also have opengl backends.
>>54508846
either test whether $1 is empty (eg [ -z "$'" ] && {echo "usage: ..." ; exit 1}) or if you take positionals too just che that either the first argument or any argument starts with - (thats all before your switch of course)
>>54508921
>>54508929
Thank you guys. I guess that's the best workaround for now.
I'm not even sure if case is the best solution, but as far as I see, getopts only takes short arguments like -a and -b, but not --help, so I decided using the case alternative.
>>54501961
Some people use git for this.
>>54502472
Nautilus and nemo have huge thumbnails as well. Do you mean the filepicker? Just drag and drop from your fm to your browser.
>>54502499
Install xfce and use i3 as your wm or something.
Should work with most DEs.
>>54503624
>Fuck proprietary software.
Exactly. Do you have the opportunity to ask people to use alternatives like jitsi or qtox?
>>54505832
He is talking about a passthrough, so your vm speeds are really not relevant. I agree with your general statement however, ditching windows completely is easier in the long run.
>>54505566
You can use a separate ntfs partition with the install on the vm. Windows is a bitch with these things though.
>>54506193
Use the tools windows provides or Win32diskimager

I though I could spare some time, but well.
>>54508983

>>54508976
just grab the asset file and use the color picker tool.
>>54509090
Thanks! This makes it a lot easier.
>>54509086
We would have to open the gtk files and look,to answer your question,as im sure no one else has remembered the hex codes.
>>54509114
I just thought the Ark guy already saved them somewhere, but as said >>54509090 makes it comfy. Already saved as GIMP(TM) color palette.

I dont get the substring example either.

Try
rename -n 's/.*_//' *
If the result looks okay, remove the -n for actual renaming.
>>54509738
says -n switch dosent exist.
Running script without -n switch dosent do anything
>>54509768
That's strange, usually rename should be linked to prename on most systems. Try the same command with "prename" instead of "rename".
>>54509786
prename dosent exist as a binary or command
>>54509815
Okay, then either you install the perl rename package (the better rename) or you just try rename without the -n flag and see what happens. Maybe create some dummy files for testing.
What distro are you running, by the way?
I'm wondering.
>>54509815
You could also just use sed:for i in *; do mv "$i" $(sed 's/.*_//' <<< "$i"); done
Use echo to check before actual renaming like this:for i in *; do echo "$i" $(sed 's/.*_//' <<< "$i"); done
