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.

License wizards: When you come across some work that is licensend under "Public Domain", is it technically unlicensed or does it actually mean that all rights are waved away?
>>54768892
It means everyone can do everything with it, including using it in nonfree software and therefor making it nonfree.

Thanks, didn't know that there's RMS essay about the topic. <3
>>54769005
try Debian with Lxde (or install no DE then selectively install Openbox and a few GUI programs your friend should have if you want to be more minimal)
>>54769005
Does your friend care about his freedoms? Trisquel. Does he not care? Link him https://www.gnu.org/. If his reply is "i dont give a fuck", install Ubuntu's Netbook Edition.
>>54769067
I need something baby tier, to be sure he can get away with it if he has to install it on his own.
>>54769089
according to a quick internet search the last Ubuntu Netbook Edition was published with Ubuntu 10.10. Maybe a bit old..?
>>54769094
first and foremost you need something light on resources, that should be your priority. Regular Ubuntu needs 2GB RAM according to their website, and I can tell you that Fedora 23 with Gnome needs around 900MB.
But if it needs to be easy then a DE will probably be necessary, so try Lxde. You can chose it in the Debian installer

Isn't Ubuntu Netbook Edition rolled into regular Ubuntu now?
I installed Lubuntu on my sister's atom netbook and it's been running kind of badly to be honest
>>54769089
>>54769172
>>54769175
He just needs something that works and doesn't lags the fuck out on his netbook, so no fucks given.
Is lubuntu/Puppy linux a good choice?
>>54769290
>>54769177
My sister has been complaining that fuckin Windows XP ran better than Lubuntu on her netbook.
I'm thinking of trying Debian with OpenBox or LXDE, I don't think we can do PuppyLinux because she's probably going to need Debian/Ubuntu repositories. And yes, I know Tahrpuppy exists but I'm not quite convinced on it
I've actually been thinking of just moving my entire family to Debian, I have to service their computers running Ubuntu way more than I have to service my machines running Debian.
>>54769290
>He just needs something that works and doesn't lags the fuck out on his netbook, so no fucks given.
Try gentoo. It's easy to use and resources friendly.
>>54769337
are you the same dude that talked about this a few months ago? because i told you that xp is hard to beat in speed because it is so old. did you get her an ssd like i said?
debian with openbox and tint2 should be easy enough to use.
>>54769524
No, I'm not the same guy. Kinda weird coincidence though
I'll try openbox and tint2 on Debian then, thanks mang

So pulseaudio.
My audio drivers seem to be being really screwy. I know about the whole tsched=0 fix. It does help, but for whatever reason the audio degrades and I have to kill/start. The clincher is, As far as I can tell it may only be a problem with MPD.
I switched to it so I could play movies over HDMI on the fly, so don't try to convince me otherwise there. Similar story with MPD.

I haven't read all the posts, but there was some suggestions about debian, elementary etc.
If you can set up debian youself, you can pick that, but else I wouldn't recommend, since a normie will probably wants non free software (which aren't enabled by default) and that the often you have to install the wifi drivers manually.
lubuntu, xubuntu are good choices since they usually works out of the box and are light distributions.
For my parents which have a shitty laptop I installed debian with lxde, the wifi drivers, auto login, flash, and they never complained about anything so far.
>>54769754
Delete that and create a new file in ~/.asoundrc and put the following in ,then restart pulse and try mpdpcm.!default {

In my opinion it is not about what he did, it is what he stands for.

i didn't do that, there is just a lot of people that mistake functionality with things that may look nice but are not really functional. some people hurt themselves with it. i said keep it functional to prevent that.

When using escapes ( \e ) in your PS1, always introduce them with \[ and end them with \], otherwise exactly this will happen.
I replaced \e with octal for compatibility, but it doesn't affect your problem. \e \033 or \x1b should work for all PS1s.

Instead hating each others we should hate 4keks for not updating to the imageboard standards; cyclical threads are a things since years.

this
Well, I'm free and I've been using UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems for about ten years now, so if anyone has any issues I'd be glad to help.
>>54771377
Welp, the good side not having them cyclical is that you can change the OP so it doesn't get boring. Cyclical threads are literally plebbit; imageboards are made for changing content, if a thread dies, it's gone and another topic shows up. This is why general in general don't belong to 4chan.
>>54771448
While I agree with your point, I realize that there's no imageboard culture left on popular chand like 4chan, so we should just update and make bad thing better than trying to simulate something that's already dead and buried years ago.
Are svg icons unsupported with gnome shell? I just got some icon theme and mostly it is in svg format, like half of it for some reason. I can see new png icons but whatever is svg is shown as in default advaita/hicolor theme. So I need to convert everything now?
>>54771448
well, there needs to be some place without signup to talk about common issues, neat hacks, free software and GNU/Linux that has a few regulars that help. otherwise i agree with your sentiment.
>>54771490
what are you trying to do?
>>54771490
svgs should be supported, but you maybe need to copy them to the related resulution directories aswell.
>>54771521
Yeah, they are properly sorted. But srsly, I can see changes only for those icons which are in png format. I just tried to convert icedove icon from svg to png and now it works after reapplying the theme. Fml, guess I'll have to convert it all then.

No, I mean different things. I have just installed arch, installed alsa and pulse. And now I am trying to set up x11, proprietary nvidia video driver and i3. I do thing like wiki says, but xserver does not start. Xorg log file:

>>54768255
I'm considering switching to debian. How are the updates? Can I make a script to make it automatic?
>>54772557
depends on your update cycle, on stable it should be no problem to automate it, aptitude has that feature built in, just enable it in the settings.
>>54772557
You can, since it's free software, but you shouldn't automate such things. It's good enough ro run apt-get update and upgrade once a day. Maybe make an alias for it.
is there a good linux distro the handles 4k well, all of the ones that i have tried have scaling uses
>>54772583
Ok.
>>54772589
What are the problems? I am not thinking on doing a dist upgrade automatic anyway.
>>54772602
I guess your problem is that you gave up too fast. Most issues are easy solvable by using xrandr to set the right resolution and all the jazz on any distro. Try a random distro and try to fix it with xrandr or use a random gui frontend like arandr etc.

How should I proceed?
>>54772602
gnome has really good scaling, try using the settings before installing other distros or DEs.
>>54772628
if you safe-upgrade you should be fine, sometimes you get asked because of minor to serious bugs about what to do, this can be a problem if you use -y
>>54772673
Ok thanks.
>>54772667
Search for libxcb, get the -dev package(s), retry.
If the repo didn't provide a list of dependencies, try this:apt-cache showsrc i3 | grep ^Build-Depends
This will show the build dependencies for the vanilla package.

Couldn't find anything on google about what logs to watch ove other than regular servers and I want to know about stuff like dmesg and logged users. Can some gentle wizard point me to the right info.

I've heard of distro agnostic package managers before, however most seem to be just frontends for the more common distro managers; are there any big distro agnostic repositories which are accessible with similar tools?
>>54773281
yes, this is especially useful because you keep most of your configuration files this way.
>>54773322
guix/nix try something like that
>>54773340

>>54773364
they are not ready yet and would need to be integrated, but it could potentially lead to a distro agnostic package manager, this is why i said "try".
this is a fairly complex topic but if you really want to learn about is you can try https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Package-Management.html
>>54772991 >>54773136
From your question I may assume that you have no experience of using Linux distributions, so you don't know what you will actually get. I would suggest to not touch the Windows partition and even the Windows drive, and cut off some space on your HDD and install Linux there. After that set up your BIOS to select HDD with Linux as a main bootable device. Try to use it exclusively at least for a week or so, if you can handle it then just wipe all drives and replace the Windows.
Or use the best solution of trying Linux in VMware Player or VirtualBox on Windows.
>>54768255

>>54774149
What???
Does anyone else have problems installing steam on ubuntu 16.04?
>>54774149
>>54774170
if I understand it correctly you just want to zoom in on your videos until the image fills your whole screen without any black bars, correct?
Does your screen at least have a height of 1080 pixels? If not then you're going to zoom in too much and only see a part of the video.
For what it's worth, I thinkw and e
Decrease/increase pan-and-scan range.
is the part of the mpv man page that you should have looked at, in my test video it zooms in/out
>>54774255
yes but with pan&scan i can't tell when the video is at its original resolution (if ever)
i know media player classic has this option to zoom the video even in fs to 100% 200% and some other
TL:DR afa i can see mpv does not allow to zoom a video to 100% in fs

>>54774374
I was so sure that somewhere in the comment chain you had mentioned vlc already, but no.
So let me say that vlc does everything under the moon including zooming in/out in fullscreen, so try that maybe.

bumping for this question
>>54774409
There should be some metapackage for the ubuntu gnome desktop.
>>54774412
your monitor's native res is 1920x1080
if you play a 720p video in fullscreen it will be zoomed in - video pixels will get bigger - lets say video zoom will be ~125%
if you play a 4k video in fullscreen it will be zoomed out - video pixels will get smaller - video zoom level ~60%
i was asking if mpv can have the video
- in fullscreen
- with 100% zoom / original video size
- keeping the aspect ratio

Hi thread, I'm absolute beginner status.
I want to learn about Linux, and for me the best way to learn computer stuff is by giving myself a problem and then trying to fix it.
My self induced problem is that I want to pirate stuff much more securely, and it's to my understanding that this can be achieved efficiently with Linux. (half of what I hear about Linux is how secure it is).
So I'm wondering:
A. Can running Linux on a VM with required software make for an efficient way to pirate securely?
B. Where down the line does Linux actually become more secure than windows?
>>54776501
Use darknet. Use cryptography, use VPN. Install Gentoo hardened with selinux.
>>54776501
A. no
B. idk go on git and read its gpl2

I stuck that in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and now lightdm won't let me log in. Deleted the file and restarted, didn't work. I think the only other thing I changed was masking the pulseaudio socket to get the error messages to a terminal, which I unmasked before restarting.
I'm typing this from logging into a tty and typing startx. Not entirely sure what to do next.

anyone want to help me install archbang?
followed http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=5653 and everything worked until i try to actually boot into the os. if i select the hard drive in the boot menu, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then goes back the boot menu. when i boot back into the .iso, the syslinux.cfg file still has "APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rw" in both of the same spots as the guide shows, even though i changed it to sda1...
any suggestions?

What package manager? That's like replying 'the text editor' it could mean a lot of things. The quality among package managers go from amazing to god awful.

>>54776240
I first recommended xubuntu in case he wasn't interested enough to edit a text file, but he said he likes tinkering anyway so why would he have a better time with buntu than with debian?
My reason for recommending debian is that the community and wiki are friendly to beginners and very easy to understand and that with debian, new users understand why some things are not in the main repository, even if they end up using some firmware, this lets them understand that freedom, no matter if that is your reason to install GNU + Linux or not, is an aspect of it that is important to some people and that they try hard to be independent. Another reason is that they probably read the dfsg and learn what its impact was.
>>54780653
What's the problem with Debian?
>>54777743
That's why you install Arch and not a shitty, downstream, niche distributions made by idiots.
>>54780729
When did arch start contributing upstream?
>>54776117
Nice segfault, faggot.
>>54780729
yeah no, no need for fixing my system every other update
>>54780736
Arch is an "original" distribution. Archbang is a derivate of Arch.
>>54780747
You're an idiot for blindly believing memes and myths, but enjoy your Archbang which miraculously won't have that problem.
>>54780729
>>54780768
Why are Arch users always that agressivly autistic?
>>54780768
I know that arch is an original distro, but i always thought tgey were known for not contributing a lot to upstream and not submitting bugfixes because they don't patch much themselves. i think that arch is an okay distro but i think you misunderstand something about it.
I agree with your sentiment that original distros usually break less though. But arch can and does have bugs and sometimes "breaks", of course not not as often as some people think.
>>54780785
I would be saying that even as a non Arch user. How can a sane person believe that X has issues, but Y, which is just a pre-assembled X, doesn't? The answer is: they can't. Anyone who believes that is an idiot.
>>54780812
>I agree with your sentiment that original distros usually break less
That wasn't really what I was aiming at. My point was that he's an idiot for thinking that Archbang will somehow save him from the "breaking".

And I enabled this fucker alright
And then the global menu and the side bar on unity were glitching out when moving windows. Move the mouse like a fucking pixel, they disappear. Move it again, they reappear. Weird.
Maybe this is why it was not enabled by default. Lazy coons.

>>54781280
Of course Gentoo GNU/Linux.
I not recomend multilib Gentoo, which uses glibc as standart C library, but Gentoo musl/uclibc which is smaller and faster.
>>54781280
Gentoo GNU/Linux also have many Haskel tools, many overlays, support Wayland, and much more...

you can just add those repos, it's just a text file. And packaging stuff yourself isn't hard with checkinstall.
>>54781385
Not really but some hardcore people use both, clang for on the go testing and gcc for the actual release.

If linux is so good, why there less than 1% of steam users that are using it ?
>>54781576
Because when people who play videogames realize that all they can do on Linux is play TF2, DOTA 2 and shitty indie games for the most part, they dual boot.
I'm running Arch with Gnome as my DE. Why is it whenever I try to do anything that requires authentication, it fails after I enter my password? I can still do stuff in the terminal, but anything in the GUI just has the authenticate button grey out and then do nothing until I hit cancel.
>>54781619
civilastion is a great game and it's linux native. Overall, as long as windows keeps getting first releases in everything, the year of the linux desktop won't happen.
>>54781576
Becouse most of people idiots(95%), some of them need windows in job (4%), and 1℅ elite.
>>54781576
Because Wine reports as windows, SteamOS isn't included. I'd bet money more linux users just install steam through wine than use native steam, because some games run just fine that way, and steam can't handle both wine and native.
>>54781645
Many games now native for windows.
>>54781645
I mean can you ask companies like Eidos, Ubun-- Ubisoft and Electronic farts to port their games to linux
Or bethesda, or maybe blizzard
Maybe Capcom will.
The thing is that nowadays anything that's popular enough and gets a release on PC and consoles doesn't usually bother to come out on SteamOS or OSX. It's just indie stuff and just half of it.
>>54781619
The argument of no games is lie: Of the 7 most played games on steam, 6 are supporting steamos.
>>54781576
People doesn't want to use linux because there isn't enough games
Devs doesn't want to port their games to linux because there isn't enough users.
That's basically what they will tells you. Linux isn't profitable enough with 1% of user base.
Linux can be 1% of the market share, on humble bundle they represent 4% of the games sold, and 7% of they payment. They are confirmed to be more generous (ie : buy more / pay more for the games).
A lot of devs that made a port on linux actually said that linux become a profitable platform when you reach 1% of sales.
A lot of people using windows are willing to switch definitively to linux if the games they are playing were ported.
I actually wonder how much it would cost a company such as blizzard to port their games to linux.
>>54781728
It's no lie. There's less availability. It's like telling me 5 years ago "oh well, this computer can run WoW, therefore it's a gaming PC!"
I mean look at some of those games in the list. They are mostly valve games that were released ages ago. Some people like variety instead of being pieces of trash who keep playing the same thing over and over until it runs out of life. It's like looking at mcdonalds and telling people "see? this is an actual restaurant, many people go eat there every single day". It's trash.

Using uBlock Origin, I tried to block one specific Twitter profile from loading on my browser, but it does not works... Why?
It's just https://twitter.com/<username>
>>54782047
>>54782118
Why do you consider snappy so bad? Disk space is not an issue for years already. I don't give a fuck about having different versions of the same library.
It will make old software usable on new distributions and give freedom for the devs to use the libs they want. I'm tired of having upgrades that break something in my system.
Plus sandboxing is always good.
>>54782139
Do that with HOSTS.
>>54773668

>>54782143
It will be used by retards go use outdated and unpatched packages which will once and for all kill the reputation of being secure and virus free we currently have.
If you need a library or package at a specific version, compile it or change something.

>Disk space is not an issue for years already
it's not about that, even if it can be a concern for some people.
>I don't give a fuck about having different versions of the same library.
What if there's a vulnerability on a library ?
You'll just keep using software with security breach ?

Now you're implying that all software will use dependencies with breaches and will never be patched. Stop generalizing.
And the user is free to keep be retarded and use software with breaches as much as it's convenient for him. Stop trying to interfere with the freedom of the user.
