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.

ALL OUR SUPPORT GOES TO THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE IN THIS MOMENT!
In the picture: Stallman with Brazil's former president Lula, also a victim of this vicious attack!
Reminder that wikipedia isn't credible because wikipedia isn't a source, but there are sources at the bottom of the page you can credit you fucking idiots
Fuck you, THESE COMMIES FUCKED UP THIS COUNTRY. I want these leftists to fuck off, just like you.
Solidarity with communists?
>>54108564
Yeah, let's start a /fglt/ on /pol/. That's a great idea.

Awesome meme, but it was actually the US. Pic related.
Just deleted something on accident is there any way that I can go about un doing this easily
All the tools im finding all want to do with partitions I just want folder.
>>54108591

Except there is no evidence, she's been framed by the corrupt speaker of the house who is as a matter of fact facing charges for involvement in the Lava Jato scandal. Dilma faces no charges.
What is happening here right now is a coup d'ètat funded by international powers to destroy Brazil's sovereignty. And the true working people is against it, as seen in multiple protests, which outnumber the white americanist elite protests at least 2 to 1. Pic related.

You need to kill yourself you only argument is RMS approved it!!!

I'm using Fedora, and i'm liking it better than Ubuntu. But when i used ubuntu i received notifications telling me when system updates were available. How do I get that on Fedora?
>>54108995
Wait awhile and gnome will tell you about it in a notification. But you gotta update through the terminal. I like their system much better, it's less intrusive.
>>54108939
>you only argument is RMS approved it
Not him, but I'd rather trust rms than some random shitposter on 4chan.
Also you're wrong, OP posted two sources. You posted none.

>>54109103
It's totally technology related, you retard. If you think politics don't influence technology and vice-versa, then you should end yourself. Plus RMS is very outspoken about it, making that /g/'s official stance.
can someone greentext the Brazilian situation?
>>54108638

anyone have any experience with installing real loonix on a chromebook? The idea of a really cheap arm machine with a 13 inch 1080p screen appeals to me, but chromeos seems a bit dumb
>>54109680
Was wondering the same since I saw the 14" SlateBook refurbished on Amazon for $200. It comes with a quad core Tegra!
The government changing doesn't mean the government's stance will change.
The government is not one monolithic entity, every government has competing and parallel interests, even North Korea or Zimbabwe.
People confuse the legislative and/or executive part of the government with the government as a whole. The administrative side of the government generally runs semi-autonomously from the executive.
Sure the executive hands down its policy and programmes, but they don't micro-manage the individual departments and organisations, and with the debt/deficit situation in Brazil what it is, I can't imagine Microsoft lobbyists being able to weasel their way in just yet.
So I upgraded plasma 5 to the latest testing version on fedora 23 today, however it broke the auto hide on the taskbar. On dnf history, I get that 117 updates were performed, but I can't see the installed packages so I can rollback the update. What do?
>>54109863
>Fedora
ahahahah I thought it is "enterprise level"
>>54109874
I'm using the testing updates m8. They're unstable.
literally HOW is this possible
it is currently 3:40 in utc+2 not 5:40 how does linux get this wrong
>>54110035
Ask Linus Torvalds. Better: Write him a bug report.
Heads up: avoid upgrading to plasma 5.6.2 on fedora 23. It's buggy as fuck
>>54108508
Thank you based OP!
>>54110122$ pacman -Q plasma-workspace
plasma-workspace 5.6.2-1
shit
not on fedora but it's not like it would be distro specific would it?
what bugs have you noticed? I haven't encountered anything yet
Are any of you running free as in freedom distros?
>>54110335
panels don't autohide, when disconnected from a wireless network, it doesn't automatically connect to the next know netwoek in range, setting time automatically is broken, the splash screen stutters like a motherfucker
If I install debian from a nonfree live ISO with gnome, will my wireless still work after login?
This is important, because I will be stuck without a way to download another iso to install from if it doesn't work.
>>54110035
c'est la vie
Anyone considering switching to Ubuntu with 16.04? I am from Mint, but I've come to like Cinnamon quite a bit in the last 3 years, and it'd be a hassle switching for virtually one benefit: gcc version 5.0+
I do want the LTS Server soon though.
>>54111048
>virtually one benefit: gcc version 5.0+
If you are on mint then this isn't really a benefit worth thinking about.
>>54108508
wrong the so called coup is a peoples rebellion over the switch to capped internet
>>54110841
should but, you should always have a go to live linux that you know works with your hardware at all times for in case the shit hits the fan
Fuck you OP and if RMS likes to lick Dilma's clit then fuck him too, ruining this fucking country
>>54110841
>If I install debian from a nonfree live ISO with gnome, will my wireless still work after login?
No, rms will personally break into your house and desolder your wifi chip off the card/motherboard.
He's a vengeful and jealous prophet.
>but if you're installing it from a live ISO, you can boot and test it first before installing

What do you mean?
>>54111147
Why would it be a benefit to you?

I hope rms throws and opensourced brick at your freedom hatin ass
Hey guys. I just wanted to pop on by and thank whichever anon who wrote this bash script a few days ago. It was absolutely baller and got the job done.
It was for searching through my images folder for pictures above 1920x1080 resolution and creating symlinks to another folder (to make it easier to parse through potential wallpapers)#!/bin/bash
#
# requires imagemagick
# set MIN_WIDTH/MIN_HEIGHT to whatever you want
# sets first/second argument to directories you want to use
img_dir=/data/Pictures/Internet
wall_dir=/data/Pictures/PotentialWalls
# self explanatory
MIN_WIDTH=1980
MIN_HEIGHT=1080
# file extensions to check for (separated by | because they will be used in regex)
FILE_TYPES='jpg|png'
# this is done to allow for filenames with spaces
IFS="
"
if [ -d "$img_dir" ] && [ -d "$wall_dir" ]
then
for img in `find "$img_dir" -regextype posix-egrep -iregex ".*($FILE_TYPES)"`; do
width=`identify -format "%w" "$img"`
height=`identify -format "%h" "$img"`
action=Skipped
[ $width -ge $MIN_WIDTH ] && [ $height -ge $MIN_HEIGHT ] && ln -sr "$img" "$wall_dir" && action=Added
# NOTE: if $wall_dir already contains a file with the same name, it will be skipped
echo "$action $img (${width}x$height)"
done
else echo "$0 [directory to scan for images] [directory to make symlinks]"
fi
So thank you, anon guy. You're really cool, and I learned something about bash. I might write my own scripts from now on, I didn't realize they were so useful
>>54111162
I'm program a lot and gcc 5.0+ allows for much, much easier integrated regex support, cleaner flags, cleaner makes, better standard C library support (for newer C++ libraries), and just makes/makefiles in general.
And I'm pretty sure there's a few (not many, but a few) programs that I've wanted to use that require gcc 5.0+/gcc5.0+ dependent libs/packages.
I'd compile it myself but it's the one thing that's a monumental fucking hassle for linux.
Is trying to execute a GPU passthrough on an already installed Debian system a fool's errand, or is it actually doable without much hassle?
Just wondering if I can get rid of my small Windows partition forever already or if that'll have to wait
>>54111244
I was wondering if you were going to reply along those lines. I'm kind of surprised you are using mint, it would seem to make everything more difficult for someone in your position. Why not use fedora or something more upstream?
>>54111260
I've just been too busy(lazy) to sit down and do it, and even though changing distros is pretty trivial, it's not something I want to sit down and configure for a day or two. I'm too deep at this point. And the login screen and Cinnamon are fucking awesome.
It's not nearly as bad for me as it could be because I have a server that I can use for the features, but it's inconvenient.
When Mint 18 comes out I'm switching to either Ubuntu, Fedora, or that.
>>54109338
Free software IS political. How new to this are you?
>>54111187
that's really great anon.
i've only done a few simple bash scripts myself, but they can be really handy.
though i'm not doing much to justify making a lot, or really complicated ones, maybe i should try doing some more.

>>54112010
Mint is a cancerous spyware-based derivative of Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is a cancerous spyware-based derivative of Debian.
Debian is an outdated freedom-respecting operating system that I use, and get irritated with it's outdated packages often.
To be honest, if you want to pop your Gentoo meme cherry without wasting time on the painful installation process, just do the super easy install of Calculate Linux. It's a pre-compiled package of Gentoo, so you can get started on Use-flags right away no problem. The software is super up-to-date.
How do you sync music to an iphone with Banshee?
I've been trying for an hour to get it to work, and while seemingly songs do take up space in the phone's storage, they don't show up in the Music application even after rebooting it
How do you guys sync to your ipods/iphones on GNU/Linux?
Please don't give me clever replies on how you use Android and don't have the problem, I know. The phone was a gift
>>54112290
does the iphone music app have a function for updating the library? if so, have you tried doing that?
>>54112312
Not that I know of, no. Since it does all its handshaking with either iTunes or the iTunes store I don't know of any other way of asking it to update the library other than restarting the phone.
>>54112290
>>54112312
>>54112327
Does anyone have any experience with some other program that currently works for rudimentary music syncing with apple devices?
>>54110592
I run a free version of debian, some dude in the last thread ran parabola.
>>54112469
debian allows theoretical access to nonfree software so is itself nonfree, in fact all distros that aren't source based are nonfree

>>54108508
Thanks for the solidarity Op, days have being dark here and there are plenty more to come.
kek and the olympics are like 2 months away, its gonna be awful
in order to ask this I must propose a situation.
I have a wacom tablet for drawing. In order to map its inputs to one monitor, I must go through xinput and find its input values
typically it shows up as⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus id=18 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Pen eraser id=19 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Pad pad id=20 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Finger touch id=21 [slave pointer (2)]
we can see that its input values are all just successive numbers.
Is there an operator in bash that would allow me to, say, iterate through a command, except changing a variable from say x...x(n) until it reaches x(n)?
for example,
the typical sequence of commands I run isxsetwacom set 18 MapToOutput VGA
xsetwacom set 19 MapToOutput VGA
xsetwacom set 20 MapToOutput VGA
xsetwacom set 21 MapToOutput VGA
what I want would essentially bexsetwacom set 18..21 MapToOutput VGA
and it would run the command 4 times, incrementing until it reached 21
does this exist? I know I could do this with a for/while loop, but it would be neat if such an operator existed
Anyone know how to start solving mic audio issues across various programs? sounds like underwater robot shit in the background when I use steam or mumble voice chat. Didn't used to happen but I have switch computers in the last few months and not sure if that's related or not.

In that case I think we should drop Linux altogether
>>54112810
this, and let's also add info about hurd into the OP

-RMS
>sorry I'm late guise
>>54112701for i in {18..21};do xsetwacom set $i MapToOutput VGA ;done
The {x..y} is a bashism IIRC so if not using bash might have to use`seq 18 21`instead.

In my server program code, I define a mongoose schema and model.
Now if this was sql, I'd do a "create table if not defined", or some similar shit.
Do I need to worry about this in MongoDB? Or will my code, upon being called after the 1st time, be smart and NOT overwrite my previously defined table(s) and all of their precious data?
can someone tell me what the fresh fuck is going on with Cinnamon?
suddenly out of nowhere, menu items have no padding and sliders don't even show up at all (which is REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT considering I NEED those to use mypaint)

How do I add something to my Path environment variables so that a script can see it?
>>54113526
Well there is only one PATH environment variable and that is by convention where things like the shell look for commands to run. It is made up of comman seperated entries so to add a directory to your PATH you would run egPATH="/opt/mybin:$PATH"which would prepend to PATH. If you just want to creat another enviroment variable run egexport MY_VAR="some value", the assignment creates the variable and "export" makes the variable visible to child processes, like your script.
I'm a new fag to Linux in general, trying to get my external sound card to work with it by following guides and doing terminal shit.
Can I fucking turn off these "permission" shit? There is not more frustrating than trying to follow guides and the terminal not letting me do stuff because I need permission. Fuck man, how do I turn this shit off?
>>54113834
>turn off these "permission" shit
HAHAHA. Make sure you user is in the audio group and prefix commands with sudo to run them as root. Run sudo -s to get a root shell (but things you create/setup as root will be owned by root so you might have issues dealing with that stuff when you drop back to your normal user)
>>54113834
Run everything as root.
>>54113752
Hmmm doesn't seem to be it.
I'm trying to use Fastboot for Android but it keeps hanging with "Waiting for device", even when I run as root.
Any idea? I tried adding the udev bullshit too

What the fuck does that have to do with environment variables?

Wow, you sound frustrated.
You shouldn't get this mad just because now poor people can ride airplanes with you and go to college, thanks to the Workers' Party. Just get used to it and stop being such an elitist.

Stop spreading false information. With systemd, that is not necessary.
How can I stop elementary os from asking for sudo and password on every thing that needs su access? Kinda like remember I'm su for 30 minutes after it asks for password.
>>54114190

check dmesg and make sure the device is registering. And maybe the device needs to have debug mode enabled too.

>>54112487
Only because it us not fsf endorsed does not mean it is nonfree. In fact, in some cases the dfsg are more strict than the four freedoms.
All distros allow theoretical access to nonfree sources. The problem that causes debian to not be fsf endorsed is that they make it easy and show users how to enable contrib and nonfree. This is a problem for some people but it is very sane, since the debian kernel is deblobbed debian is even more sane than fedora. It is completely libré ootb.
>>54112500
Stallman has said himself something to the effect that he could recommend Debian to anyone who he knew wouldn't install the non-free software it offers. Naturally, by their philosophies that means it can't be recommended at large.
I imagine people will ask me for source but alas, I can't be bothered to dig it up. It was on the OpenBSD mailing list for anyone motivated to find it. De Raadt is charming as always in the relevant thread.

I'm currently running antergos (mate) and have been for a few months, now I'm thinking of making the switch to debian, is this a good idea?
>>54115991
Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know. Why you asking us?
>>54115375
I've always maintained that the single most significant thing OpenBSD Project could do to advance its status would be to hire someone to edit all of de Raadt's outgoing email.
God why are package managers so SHIT.
>try out gnome
>don't like it
>try to remove it
>dependency hell
Does apt have this problem? Thinking of moving to debian instead of arch. I guess the lesson is learned, stay away from huge meta packages like gnome if you aren't 100% sure you want to keep them.

Portage certainly doesn't have this problem.
>>54116033
You will have issues removing gnome with any package manager.
It's bloated (even more so when you're not using it) but unless you really need that disk space just leave it there.
>>54116033
not sure about arch but this should be easy on any distro
apt-get/dnf/zypper/whatever remove @gnome-desktop

>a page that is based on credible sources that are cited on the page isn't a source
Think about what you just said.
>>54116033
You did it wrong
>>54116033
Maybe you're doing it wrong? Maybe reading the man pages thoroughly might give you a better idea on how to do it properly. I've tried every DE available and have been successful in cleaning it out of my system before. That's on Ubuntu and Arch.

People who'd rather complain first than ask questions should never be spoonfed.
My Linux PC has whole-system encryption with LUKS headers (except for the boot partition).
In an event of powerloss, is it possible that I won't be able to boot because some data in headers will get corrupted and it won't accept my password?
If it is possible, how do I protect against that? (except for backups)

While it's certainly true you'd want to be running an operating system you can trust if you're planning such a thing, I don't quite see what it otherwise has to do with GNU/Linux.

What is the best live distro to carry on a stick for worst case situations?
>>54117680
gpartedlive
>>54117680
I just carry ubuntu. It will work anywhere and has everything you might need.
Even if you don't like it as a main distro, it's good for occasional live sessions.
So I installed Arch Linux in VirtualBox, played with it, riced it and now I don't want to miss it anymore. Is there a way to use my VM installation of Arch as main OS or do I need to reinstall and rework everything?
>>54117811
Believe me, I'd be easier to install everything from scratch. Feel free to copy configs you wrote, but do the rest again.
It'll be easier the second time, but don't get cocky and blaze through everything by-memory (like I did, and ended up reinstalling it a few times before settling because of forgotten commands).
>>54117907
>Feel free to copy configs you wrote
That's actually a great and maybe the best idea. How couldn't I see the simplicity.
>>54117907
Another question! Is there any benefit in creating a /home partition?

only happens when q3 is running. Kinda funny. Who's at fault here? Nvidia, Xorg, Linux? I doubt it's q3 cause nothing about that changed (same executable, same graphic options, never happened before etc.)

Who the fuck are you? People on the streets are clamoring for her impeachment. And besides, the "people" didn't reelect her, fraudulent electronic ballots did, and Stallman is very much against electronic ballots.

Thinking of just getting a *buntu and be done with it after messing around with Arch for a while. Stuck between getting Xubuntu and Mate.

Does following the gentoo install guide cause me to install OpenRC or Systemd? Or does it avoid bringing up the issue all otgether? Having a hard time finding where you install the init, so it must have a default, right?
>>54118765
yes? follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Full_system_backup_with_rsync and make sure that the backup location is in the exclude expression to avoid recursion.
>>54118858
Default is open RC iir. You can always add systemd later
>>54118876
Thanks, good to know.
I want to run an Arch VM on a shitty Win10 tablet with 2GB of RAM.
Should I go with 32 or 64 bit version? (tablet is 64bit)
Does it even matter?
>>54118899
>2gb
As long as it's headless you shouldn't have a problem
>>54118869
Thanks, I didn't think rsync was meant for a running OS drive.
Is it possible to rsync straight to a tar file or image file?
>>54118899
go with 64 bit. Probably matters in the sense that 64 bit binaries will not run in a 32 bit system [citation needed], which is kinda important as that's what most aplications are developed for now. Nothing speaks against 64 if the hardware supports it.
also
>tfw my desktop has 2 gigs
>>54118949
You could use tar to make a tar backup copy of your drive
>>54118940
I know, I'm trying a 128Mb RAM VM on my PC right now, we'll see how it goes.
>>54118956
Will do, thanks.
>>54118949
Not really, I don't recommend it. Don't use tar for that, if you plan on running backup more than once.
I have a tiny script that mounts a Veracrypt image and rsync into that. The problem here is that the size is fixed on image creation, so you'll have to deal with that.
>>54118980
So I wouldnt even need rsync? I'm getting a bit lost, I thought rsync might have a configurable flag to backup to an archive file.
>>54118997
I wouldnt run it often, just after I've made considerable change or before major updates maybe. I just want something I can easily restore in case.
>>54119016
rsync IIRC can't write to a file, but it sure as hell can backup your system better than tar ever could.
That's what it was made for, use it.
>>54118557
>People on the streets are clamoring for her impeachment.
There are plenty of both, you must retarded to think otherwise, oh wait, everyone who doesn't agree with you is being paid, i forgot...
>fraudulent electronic ballots
not even why the impeachment is happening, just shit that will not be used against anyone else here or any other part of the world, but ok, the election was a fraud, prove it, the police and the opposition couldn't, but i'm sure you can.

I know you are not my tech support but here we go:
Anyone know why gnome no save my settings? Just installed on mint for testing purposes and when i customize this dont save the settings everytime i reboot so i need apply manually the settings and is annonying.
Is there any point in not installing 16.04 now? Eager to try it out, getting tired of outdated repos on Mint.
Will miss my Cinnamon though, how's Ubuntu for Cinnamon support?

A question about mpv it's relation to ffmpeg.
I realized that my ffmpeg is outdated, so I cloned ffmpeg's from git, complied it and installed it, but mpv still shows it's using the old version of ffmpeg, while when i do ffmpeg -v, I see it's the git version. Where did I fail? Did I miss anything?
