previous thread user and i discussed cached disks.
used dd to benchmark the different storage backends on my virtual devices
seems like caching a hdd and just using a ssd is no difference... basically you get ssd speeds at hdd capacity.

Installed Ubuntu. Plugged in ethernet cable. No Internet. WiFi works but ethernet doesn't.

Looking at systemlog but can't make sense of why DHCP isn't working. Have no idea how I would manually assign myself an IP / gateway etc

Cinnamon of xfce?

Linux is shit don't use it, don't expect good hardware support.

search for dhcp on the arch wiki link in OP

did you try opening networkmanager to see if the ethernet device is there and configured? I think networkmanager should automatically find and activate upon plugging ethernet in.

But I'm on a T420, you'd think this would be one of the easiest things to support out of the box

I'm on xubuntu so I don't see "Network Manager" anywhere but running lshw shows both my ethernet and wireless interfaces. The config of ethernet says driver=e1000e and the product is 82579LM which I assume is Intel

Wish I had a way to dump logs but I don't have an Internet connection outside my phone. Should I try a different distro?

Install GuixSD

Running ifconfig shows three different things, enp0s25, lo, and wlp3s0. I tried running dhclient enp0s25 and my terminal froze

dhcpcd enp0s25 should probably do it.

Command dhcpcd not found

try with sudo?
you may need to install the package depending on your distro.

With no networking...

I guess I can try getting it on my phone and hoping USB transfers work

Is this a genuine non-shooped photo? Would love to know the backstory

what distro are you on anyway?

Xubuntu on a t420

Also the only other thing I can think of is that I didn't have an Internet connection when installing but I don't think that should matter

just download the network manager package and install that.
launchpad.net/ubuntu/ source/network-manager

How does Linux deal with files with spaces?
Let's say I want to remove the Firefox ESR file from my /usr/share/applications folder, what would be the terminal command to deal with the space?

Attached: 1536952820514.jpg (4011x2100, 3.73M)

I ran sudo apt-get install (moved to a place with WiFi) and it says the latest version is installed

Not sure why ethernet isn't working though

file\ name.ext

then try
nm-connection-editor

Yup that brings up the network connections menu I've been looking at. Ethernet shows "Wired Connection 1" that has IPv4 set to "Automatic (DHCP)"

So:

```udo rm /usr/share/applications/Firefox\ ESR```

yep.
should work.

well then i'd try installing the dhcpcd package and using that. It's never failed me.
also make sure your network manager service is enabled so it starts up on boot.

yeah well you're using a graphical interface that is probably running a service that provides network configuration. no idea on xubuntu, but I'm almost certain it also uses networkmanager.

Doesn't run while the file is clearly in /usr/share/applications/.

I used dhcpcd but it didn't seem to work

control_open: Connection refused
IAID cc:73:2b:etc
Soliciting an IPv6 eouter
Soliciting a DHCP lease
router advertisement from xx::xx etc
Adding default route via xx::xx etc
Soliciting a DHCPv6 lease
Probing for an IPv4LL address
Using IPv4LL address 16x.xxx. Etc
Adding route to 16x.xxx Etc
adding default route
Forked to background

Sorry I can't copy paste logs because I have to use my phone to post

mkdir test
cd test
touch Firefox\ ESR.txt
ls
'Firefox ESR.txt'
rm Firefox\ ESR.txt
ls

double check your typing and everything.

Install a different distro, don't use xfeces or ubuntu

It's definitely shooped, you really think she'd let that freak wrap its arm around her like that?

Trying to install Opensuse Tumbleweed on a old PC with a Dual-Core and a integrated GPU, I think it's a VIA Chrome9, I installed the distribution fine but when I reboot my PC it shows a loading(?) screen with 3 green dots and then it "crashes" back to tty1 login, what am I doing wrong here

check your xorg logs, but more than likely you just need to install the driver for for your GPU.

>WiFi works but ethernet doesn't
FWIW I've been using linux ~20 years and have never had this problem. Sounds like bad luck, faulty hardware, oddball hardware, or some combination of these

using arch
I installed libsixel from the AUR, and I'm using a compatible terminal (mlterm), but nothing shows up in my terminal after running $img2sixel file.png -o - | cat

It's just a T420 with an Intel ethernet adapter and ethernet was working this morning on Windows before I changed HDDs

Maybe I should just install Debian or Gentoo

Put the windows HDD back in and ethernet works.

I think I should try a different distro.

typically, networkmanager runs as an applet in the desktop environment. you manage connections from networkmanager in (as far as i know) all flavors of ubuntu. if you have a notification area then there should be a network notification. you should check there for an ethernet adapter.
start with ubuntu, because networkmanager is made for GNOME

So I've got a debian server, and it's got a whole bunch of music files on it. What's the easiest way to stream these to my phone?

I installed xf86-video-openchrome but no change here is the Xorg log: pastebin.com/raw/QpgUJb74
Yast says the GPU is

oh boy do you have shit to debug, good luck m8

reading threads like these convinced me linux is shit

is there any reason to not generate locales for every language?

Attached: 2018-09-17_02:42:21.png (960x1058, 130K)

it's a waste of time and space.

install FreeBSD

ur right but I don't know what else it could be, ST won't render Asian letters.

I'm out of ideas

>ST won't render Asian letters.
you just need to install another font.

how to make an application always on top in my openbox autostart.sh

eg. xclock &

the noto fonts worked fine in debian, but not after I installed arch... also doesn't work in urxvt

HAMMER2 is not as polished as ZFS

That's why we install GNU on top of it

That would make the system more shit.
We use Linux without gnu to have a better system without religious political beliefs being thrown in our face every picosecond

Alright, so I made the switch from windows to Manjaro. I lost all my data in the process. My question is, can I restore it somehow? I only got a 1tb hdd so it should be restorable, right? I only want two folders too.

>religious political
hey now, separation of church and state user!

Thats only the government, fsf is not a government, no matter how much you want it to be.

HAMMER is better than ZFS though.

possibly.
it's a 50/50 at best.
My advice is to immediately stop any writes to it, so you have a better shot.

oh but the fsf has religious political beliefs... but that has nothing to do with supporting political policy relating to the religion.

and yet it got replaced

Alright, so how do I actually do it?

can't game on Dfly, so oh well

pick a tool and get going
linux.com/learn/get-your-data-back-linux-based-data-recovery-tools
there's hundreds of recovery tools.

lol

fsf was founded by big belly stallman as a way for him to get donations so he could continue not contributing anything to society let alone the tech industry. They mimmick his "outrages" as policy to get people to further contribute to giving fatman stallman free money for doing absolutely nothing while forcing people to use gpl, furthering stallmans absolutely uselessness in the tech field.
gpl users and people who donate to the fsf are fanatics of stallmans religious views and only further prove how communist he is.
If you read the gplv3 and his website, you clearly see how mentally ill this man is and how the fsf have only encouraged his behavior instead of seeking medical treatment.

guy using xbuntu and having bizarre networking problems

i spent the evening installing guixsd instead and it actually fucking worked and networking worked. the fuck?

buntu shit is trash, more at 11.
now get off broken shit, and install arch already.

Takes one to know one

So I fixed the shadow error by making my own xorg.conf file and loading it in Section "Module"
# Main
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XORG_OPENSUSE"

Screen "XORG_SCREEN"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "shadow"
EndSection

# Needs 64MB video memory in BIOS, mine is set 128MB

#Option "Composite" "Enable"

however I still get an error in xorg log: pastebin.com/raw/zmBCkyTV
any ideas?

i think ill just stick with guix and wait for hurd. i only need emacs, gimp, icecat anyway. this is just a work laptop

LOL thats your reply? Thats all you have to pathetically say?
>LOL NO U

go through the forum posts for Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: No such file or directory could be way too many things

so should I install funtoo or clover os?

nvm fixed it

all I said was separation of church and state. the state won't allow the gpl religion to have any laws made, so the connection you made by saying
>religious politics
was what I was arguing against. I really could care less for your feelings on RMS and the GPL, but thanks for interjecting them.

I feel so god damn shitty right now. It's been nine hours since I tried to install waterfox and now it's clearly not going to happen tonight. Someone please tell me what I did wrong.

Friendly reminder, you no longer have to be shackled to gnu.
Linux
LLVM
Clang
Muslc
Busybox
Will allow you to escape your shackles and truly become free.

you installed *buntu shit.

stall have to replace a myriad of utils, or i could just use BSD.

but user, you would have an even bigger joke of an OS with absokutely atrocious font rendering

Can we create a "GNU vs. Linux" containment thread so all the faggots who want to have their debates about it can go over there instead of being here?

You dont.

Can someone redpill me on extra packages like intel-ucode? Why do these packages exist, they don't say anything specific as for what the packages does or is for just rather mention some vague ((((((((intel updates for cpus))))))))

Please red pill me, I don't know whether to install this jew package or not

t. arch user

Do turn off secure boot to get it boot from usb?

which DE is best for customization?
"customization" here means i would probably swap out some components (e.g. file manager) and replace it with counterparts from another DE
currently looking at LXDE and XFCE since they are pretty modular
