/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

I use GIMP

what? how is that fast. open gim takes 3 seconds. edit screenshot + export takes another 20. on windows its litterally snipping tool edit done.

Can anyone help me with a script I am using
Not posting the whole script here but here's the part I get complains

FILE1=$1
FILE2=$2
...
cmp -s "$FILE1" "$FILE2"
...

I get complains at missing operand after the -s flag but it's not the case as it is clearly being done because it's in a if clause
and I print output if it's the same.
When I hardcoded the file paths it didn't complain.
Not very experienced in this so keep that in mind.

>Antergos linux
oh wow this looks nice. is there a downside to this?
does is miss something from arch?
I get that it preinstalls more stuff for you where as on arch you would need to do that on your own.
Apart from that there is no difference?

Maki is my wife!

Halp

is there Extreme Tux Racer in void linux repos?

A-are there any other pictures like this (e.g. a distro logo + faceless animu girl), but with other anime girls?

J-just asking ... for a friend.

>J-just asking ... for a friend.
Stop being a fag and admit you want to see anime girls with distro logos.

btw i use arch

This is not an unreasonable request.

>how do i change display manager from login screen
Isn't the display manager the 'login screen'?

Thank you, although I was hoping for more logo variety.

Eh, what can you do? Beggars can't be choosers.

linux mint only boots with usb inserted, otherwise media failed error. installed with secure boot on. help

yeah well it worls fine to login screen but when i try to logon cpu freezez.. need to change ot bqck to gdm3 befpre logon but idk how

Try hopping to and ask there. They make those flat anime stuff.

Can someone please make one for GuixSD? I love that distro.

I meant

Seconded.

So apparently LightDM doesn't handle second monitor well at all. I had 2nd monitor (my primary) plugged in and it caused CPU locksup with lightDM+trying to logon to Xubuntu or Budgie.

I had to
1. Detach 2nd monitor
2. Login
3. Attack 2nd monitor
And it logged in without CPU freeze.

After this I disabled my laptop monitor from Xubuntu's settings, but some programs still open up to the dead monitor of laptop and I don't know how to fix.

Also crashed first time when I plugged in the second monitor.

I guess i'll stick with default Ubunut configuration.

I also have to say that wow Xubuntu does something rapey to fonts.

help please

If you can't find any answers then just stick with Vim/Neovim

ok i got it to work straight away in a different terminal, which is weird because it works totally fine in Konsole on my laptop

Try settings => edit current profile => environment and change TERM from xterm-256color to konsole-256color

Is neovim a meme?

Help, I want to rename a bunch of images with random filenames into image01.jpg, image02.jpg, etc but the rename utility uses perl expressions and I don't know perl yet.

You don't have to export, you can just choose to overwrite the original image

There's a ton of both CLI and GUI options for that
Just google Linux batch rename and pick the one you like

>just google Linux
How about no.

Unless you care about order, just do for x in *.jpg;do echo mv "$x" "image`printf %02d $i`";i=$((i+1));done

I'm using it, because installing it was easier for me than compiling vim with Python, Ruby and other frameworks support. If you don't mind compiling vim with all of this then use it, neovim is like vim for lazies.

help

xubuntu doesn't allow to change lightdm to gdm3 through dpkg reconfigure or stop service start service....

xubuntu also hacked my passwprd and encrypted home folder : it somehow logins without passeprd now

i need to get gdm3 back before loggin or pc crashes but how..

The problem for me was that I can compile vim only with support for one python version.

If you want vim with already installed nice sets of plugins you can also try spacevim. Works great out of the box.

>backticks
Deprecated, use $().

Backticks are POXIS, go fuck yourself.

*posix

So is $(), which is better than backticks. Try nesting and you see why.

cont.

So I managed to partially unfuck this situation by
>removing Xfce
>removing Xubuntu
>removing light-dm-greeter

Now it just straight logs into default Ubuntu, but it crashes when I try to log out or reboot or shutdown

Guess I'll just, reinstall lmao.

No bully, if you don't like chad scripting, feel free to stick to your outdated backticks style.

>he wastes one char even when it's clear that nesting will not be needed
lmao, look at this faggot

Just get spacemacs.org already.

Obviously.

Anyone have any idea why my x220 randomly disconnects from the AP and refuses to reconnect?

Its the Intel 6205 card and hence the iwlwifi proprietary driver being used on Debian with Xfce

Give me the diagnosis, doctor. How bad is it?

Why tho? My neovim is already compiled with multiple python versions at once and works just fine.

I recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows 10.
Although I'm not a gamer, sometimes my friends ask me to play some cs:go with them.
I've managed to install drivers for my gpu (nvidia), but my framerate is about 50 (had about 120 on windwos).
Is there any way I can fix it?

Are you using proprietary drivers? The open source ones don't get as good performance

What's wrong with his fucking feet

I got like 130 FPS in DOTA 2 with Ubuntu 17.10, same as I got in Windows 10 Pro.

Shouldn't be that low .

Sand.

github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2006

I did, but the performance was still poor.
I thought maybe cs:go is running using integrated graphics insted of dedicated gpu and after trying to install bumblebee (I had to purge all the drivers) proprietary drivers disapeared from the drivers menu.
I've tried to bring them back but couldn't

Sure, then it's not for you. But having a lisp-engine at your disposal that can be general OS interface so that you have unity and uniformity across the whole stack, is godly.

I use GuixSD with Emacs and EXWM, so Emacs is even my WM. EXWM translates any shortcuts that I want into something that other programs understand since it's the layer I interact with. I.e. if I want Ctrl+s to always be `search` in any program, I can do it after I set up the translation to the keybinding that a program understands. Usually it's just mapping it to Ctrl+f, since that's the common idiom.

quote ur variables

i is a number. Quoting is pointless.

Jesius Christ, learn shell scripting already.

variables should always be quoted

I really enjoy using arch with openbox, everything just works and is exactly how I want it. But I constantly need to switch over to my windows partition for Sony Vegas and Photoshop because I work in the digital media field.

Is there a way to run these at very high levels in linux? Some of the stuff I work on is massive and maxes the 16GB of RAM I have. It can make my windows installation a bit wonky and chug behind a few seconds. I can only imagine it would be even worse under wine or in a VM.

It's a one-off command. I don't need to quote shit that I know doesn't need to be quoted.

Your teacher probably told you that, because you're stupid moron who can't be trusted to recognize when he doesn't need quotes.

Another dumb shell question.
I have a lot of files without a file extension. How can I rename them to add a file extension according to filetype?

>add a file extension according to filetype
seems possibly non-trivial, but there is the file command
$ man file

Help please, Ive tried Ubunto and Mint and they are having the same problem.
>insert bootable usb
>install
>reboot without usb
>Checking media[failed] error

its not booting to my harddrive any linux gurus around

Something like
for x in *; do
case `file -bi "$x"` in
(image/jpeg*) ext=jpg;;
(image/png*) ext=png;;
(*) ext=
esac
[ -n "$ext" ] && [ "${x##*.}" != "$ext" ] && mv "$x" "${x}.${ext}"
done

I'm about to install Arch for my first time, tell me everything I need to know before it's too late.
What's a recommended way of partitioning it?

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_page
>What's a recommended way of partitioning it?
i use parted

parted is shit, use fdisk+mkfs

>not carving the partition table to the disk platter by hand

>not using butterflies to change causality in a way that causes wind to slowly write the changes to your disk

fdisk and 1 partition, you probably don't need swap

I'd use even a little bit (like 1G) of swap rather than none at all, unless you've got a huge amount of RAM. The kernel swaps in the background even before RAM is full, allowing pages that programs don't use to be freed up for other use.

I have 4GB, maybe a 2GB Swap partition or is it too much?

No need for a dedicated swap partition. Just create a swapfile.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile.swp bs=1M count=2048
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

Create a smaller, bigger or even a second one depending on your needs. The only limit is that it needs to be non-fragmented.

what distro and what de should i run on this piece of shit? it has 1gb of ram

Is it a 32bits CPU too?

no,

No.

GPU passthrough could be an option.
And the Arch wiki is extensive on this subject

Imagine getting upset by Chinese cartons.
