Am I the only one with a lot of broken packages after updating jsoncpp some time ago on void linux? Polybar was fixed, nomacs not yet. Still keeping the old version

I just found the absolute best magic command for "nightmode". it simply inverts colors:
$ xcalib -a -i
no more blinding white backgrounds burning your retinas.

you can thank me later

"file doesnt exist" :(

How can I change background color of qtchan to match evrerything else

I don't want to install dozens of of programs one by one

do you actually use dozens of programs?
install the ones you need, you can do it literally in a single command

How can I find a file system in file?
I've dumped eMMC from my WP7 (thank Microshaft for dropping support), but typical mount says, that codepage is missing.
I bet FS is FAT32 or NTFS. How can I find it in file and 'cut' it and mount, so I can transfer nudes easily, because MTP sucks.

And yeah, after that I'll try installing Gentoo on phone. No, really.

how do you encrypt a CD-R in loonix

You don't.

y not :'(

Lifetime windows user here ready to install linux; Is ElementaryOS a good choice?

live CD or look at reviews for elementary, antergos/manjaro, debian, openSUSE and see which one appeals to you more.
Ideally if you want to game, a rolling release is better since you'll have an up to date kernel, drivers and programs. If not, then anything will do. And you'll probably hop regardless.

Elementary is a distro you install on grandma's computer after discovering she has 32,768 wiruses on her dextop.

>what are dependencies hard coded
BOY i bet you havent looked at what depends on systemd have you?

Does it do that by limiting the user, or by having easy defaults? A seamless experience is not a negative to me.

I was just fuckin' with ya, it's very clean and slick looking, kinda reminiscent of Mac. Has its own little set of programs, kinda like KDE. I wouldn't use it for those exact reasons, but hey I'm not you.

Well, there's xcompmgr. I think compton was forked from this though.

If you think it's fat32 or ntfs, use -t option for mount. You might have to install ntfs3g to read ntfs on some distros.

So downloaded the latest version of Xubuntu, most experience I've had with linux is using Xubuntu 16 on a live usb. Worth the download? Is there any glaring problems with it that I might run into?

anyone know how to install chrome on void linux? according to its github its supposed to be there but it my machine doesnt find it even with nonfree and miltilib nonfree enabled. pls halp
github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues?utf8=✓&q=chrome

Linux noob here.

I've been trying to make a script to run on shutdown/reboot (Ubuntu).

All the stuff i read so far seemed to say that putting my script in /etc/init.d/ with +x added, then symlinking to K99 entries in rc0.d and rc6.d would do the trick, but it doesn't.

I need this thing to run before shutdown commences so i tried using K00 and K01 too in case it's failing due to services being shut down that it relied on, but no dice.

Anyone have a reliable link to a how-to on this? Is the above even a good method anymore or should i be using Systemd?

I've been looking for 2+ hours now just for what i thought would be simple, pls help and no bully. ;(

I'm going to sleep but thanks in advance to any kind anons who reply.

just install chromium you melon.

Shut the fuck up.

but i need pepper flash and its not in the repos either

That horrible font, and the status bar, Why don't you set some transparency

Filtered.
No you don't.

I can suggest mint with cinnamon, it just werks, I'm in the same boat with you user

Install Ubuntu. Don't fall for Mint.

install debian. Don't fall for ubuntu.

yes, i need pepper-flash and the best way to have that is with google chrome. i really like void and i would like to keep it but not having chrome nor pepper-flash available for chromium is a deal breaker from me. sad because is fast. i guess ill try devuan now

Install Devuan. Don't fall for Debian.

Maybe windows is more your cup of tea.

Install ArchLinux
Fuck everything else

Don't be *that* guy.

i dont like windows

pepper flash and chromium work together
why can't you install it with chromium

Why would you willingly want to install spyware?

logical end to this is to install gentoo and use systemd

I interrupt "that guy" to tell him I'm vegan.

this is why developers always treat you like shit when you ask a question about their software

I had to manually build libc++ to get the fuckery to resolve with discord
Then just install discord per usual

Hm... Still doesn't mount.

Can I find files in this? I've a nude, and I can do the search... But how?

because apparently it isnt in the repos

Cause I'm still setting this thing up, never really used linux/arch before this

Is anyone using pantheon from AUR?
How stable is it?

This will give you a hand:
>github.com/addy-dclxvi/i3-starterpack

Just substitute the install commands with your package manager of choice, pacman in your case.

Is a raspberry pi zero W going to be able to handle pihole? I have it set up on my rpi3 currently but I want to use it exclusively for x11 forwarding qemu because I don’t really have better things to do with my time.

Is NTFS the only filesystem that's reasonable to use for an external for maximum compatibility between Windows/Linux?

what most stable and compatible distro? is it ubuntu?

anyone try Artix?
Seems like a much easier way to use OpenRC on arch without having to manually migrate.

Overall? Maybe. But you won't really find many unstable distros. Even Arch and Void aren't really unstable. Most of it is user-error.

if anythings unstable it's gnome h'haa

probably debian

Compatible maybe (especially out of the box), but stable? No. There's many distros that are far more stable.

How do I enable middle mouse click to scroll?

Not just in a browser but for everything

How are Dell Latitude with Linux?

This isn't windows. Middle click is for pasting text selections.

What do you think of vim/i3?

essential

I am learning how to write shell scripts. What are some useful scripts that you use?

Is it possible to install kde 5.13 on mint 18?

yes

when I highlight youtube link, popup appears and asks if I want to download the audio

Is there any reason not to use GNU IceCat over Firefox ESR? I'm planning to install it today, and my only worry is that the importing/exporting won't be easy.

can you tell me how, senpai?

icecat is firefucks esr with botnet bits stripped out of it and privacy addons by default.

>This isn't windows
middle click scroll is a thing in inkscape, gimp, evince, etc.

together with ctrl+wheelup zoom it's a very popular way to navigate. not everyone who uses his operating system for things other than taking screenshots of his tiling wm is a windows user

If its not in the repos, download the tarball and compile it.

Imageboards file downloader.
Screenfetch clone.
Just think a bit.

Ubuntu 18.04, just updated from a perfectly working 16.04.

My Synaptics touchpad sometimes right clicks when I'm certain that I only pressed the left. Is there any way that I can pin down the case of this issue and fix it? My first priority is to figure out what wrong move I'm making with the touchpad that it's interoperating as a right-click.

That's an advantage, no?

I'm so glad i ditched urxvt
I love st (simple terminal)

same, nothing beats st

is there a gui fan controller for linux? everytime i play games (yes, i gayme on linux) my cpu fans go spastic loud.

yes that partition 9 is the one you want but who knows what type of filesystem it is! you could try providing the start block of the partition to mount and see if it can figure it out: major.io/2010/12/14/mounting-a-raw-partition-file-made-with-dd-or-dd_rescue-in-linux/
you again. i told you where to install pepperflash from the other day.
init.d is long dead, little frogposter. create a systemd service which runs before shutdown like this: bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=188858
xinput
xinput test [id]
there's a ton of extra settings on synaptics touchpads for filtering palm presses and using two finger taps as right click (which i would guess is your problem) etc. you can do it with either xinput (hard mode) or with an application from the main repo called something like synaptics-settings or synaptics-touchpad. probably just search for the term "synaptics"

Linux is a kernel.

Rude

Thank you user, will give it a try.

I’m this user. Did my research and landed on Fedora, then spent another many hours getting my graphics drivers working lol. Feels good finally being free of the mess that is Windows. Most of my environment can be summed up in my .vimrc and my browser so the transition was otherwise seamless.

Is there a good android emulator for Linux? (Nox, Bluestacks kind of thing)
