/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

Anyone tried glitching up videos and can share some hints? I've got neat results using sed on images, but it breaks pretty much all videos/webms I've tried.

Nevermind, that just does video frames.

Pro: Marginally easier to learn than a weak superset of POSIX sh like bash or ksh.

Con: Almost zero skill transfer outside your own PC.

Fuck off with your propaganda.

>I believe the Linux community should embrace proprietary software with open arms. It would enable many more users to adopt Linux as their daily driver.
The absolute bluepill right here. Why would you want to have yet another walled garden? If people want to get fucked, there are plently of options such as Windows and macOS. Leave my GNU alone.

I want to port the nimbus theme from openindiana to debian how do i do

A theme for what? If you have a GTK theme for X you can use it the sanlme way on Y. Distros doesn't matter.

no

Ok.

i personally haven't but try searching up how the data of a video is stored. then attempt to avoid messing up the mandatory portions of the data with your sed edits.

I guess, I somehow killed the file header, which makes the file unplayable. Maybe excluding the top of the file could help. Thanks for the help.

Arch users are so dumb and pretentious they'll reply to this post in an unfriendly manner

The point where this thread wents downhill.

Yes, there are setups suited for everyone., giving you 50% fun, 50% REEE, set up by people thinking "maybe this is what normie wants"
Yes there are setups, suited for yourself, giving you 100% fun, set up by yourself.
You must choose.

That's the most r*ddit thing I've ever seen.
Is anybody actually so stupid they think that installing arch is hard?

What's wrong? You have a job or something and don't have time to deal with catastrophic issues on your os? IDIOT. I am lmaoing @ your life.

Yeah ironically it's the same subset of Arch users that attackpeople for using the wrong os.

Smug over at reddit, there you may get upvotes by other smug noobs. Here we just laugth at you being too lazy to install a distro for adults, and your attempts to defend your choice.

It literally involves partitioning and mounting drives. It’s not at all comparible to building a house.

Thread immediately derailed by a fucking bait image. I need to stop coming here.

Not an argument

he said linux, not gnu

Linux is a kernel.

if a piece of windows software locks up from stack overflow errors in wine is there then nothing you can do except run it on windows?

What are some terminal commands you're thankful for?

curl cht.sh/nc

set -o noclobber

What you're referring to as terminal is in fact a terminal emulator, that runs a shell, that runs programs.

Why the everloving fuck would you use a shell written in motherfucking Python?

I'm using the Aether theme for lightdm-webkit2-greeter but cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it use a custom background image. I tried removing every file except the one I want form the folder, and it just shows white. I tried specifying the file in lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf and when I logged in it gave me an error message and had a white bg. What am I doing wrong?

All my buttons on websites in firefox look like this. How do I fix it? Shit's unreadable. Some text boxes do it too and I can only read what I've typed if I highlight the whole thing.

for buttons, I dunno maybe try a different gtk theme?

Archwiki at Firefox entry.

Update: I removed the one image it keeps using for the bg (it wasn't rotating at all) and it just showed a white screen rather than rotating to one of the other images. Should I keep chasing this or should I just learn to live with this ugly ass space background?

Says it's for Ubuntu but that doesn't matter. Use it on any distro.
If the "chrome" directory doesn't exist, create it. And yes it's called chrome even though it's for firefox, I have no idea why.

You gotta give it to this guy, the amount of autists he triggered is unprecedented.

The only thing I'd like to give him is a swift kick in the ass

Case in point.

So when i connect my laptop with xorg i3 on debian to TV via displayport-to-hdmi cable, when there is a vertical movement in the movie, it glitches like you would slice the screen horizontally to 12 pieces and they doesnt change smoothly

Everything works beautifully out of the box... except wireless LAN. It seems to be a broadcom chip, but I've tried to get this thing working for hours yet lspci still doesn't list the damn thing at all.

Anyone had luck with linux on one of these tablets, or have suggestions on sorting out the wireless LAN issue?

I created a file called mpv.conf as in the tutorial in ~/.config/mpv/
Why does my mpv config does not load at all, please help.

Try ~/.mpv/mpv.conf

Thank for your prompt reply,
I just tried, it does not works. Y_Y

does qubes need beefy specs? I have a t440p with an i7 2.9GHz and 8gb of RAM

You probably have an error in your config

Are you using a compositor like compton?

Okay thank you so much for your help.
I just figure it out.
somehow in my mpv version from mc3man, the file is called "encoding-profiles.conf" lol

I really like Linux but for my work (/gd/), I kinda need windows because of Adobe shit. I mostly use Linux for latex and programming. I have a laptop and a desktop. Which should be my Linux machine?

Can someone please explain to me whats the difference between these files? ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/60.3.0/icecat-60.3.0-gnu1.tar.bz2

Especially:
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/60.3.0/icecat-60.3.0-gnu1.tar.bz2

and

icecat-60.3.0.en-US.gnulinux-x86_64.tar.bz2

why is one ~400mb while the other is ~50mb? which one am I meant to download

former is source code
latter is compiled binary for (gnu/) linux

the one (without x86_64) is the source code, while the other one (with x86_64) is the prebuilt version for x86_64 architecture

Linux, Linux or Linux.

all of it

Thanks

You should go in balls deep like a man.

btw, it can only load if I load nautlius as root.
Is there anyways to always load nautilus as root?

Yes, but no.

Linux is the kernel.

if I try to open video file by mpv, the conf file will not be loaded unless i use sudo nautilus. Y_Y
Please instruct me to do things right, I'm a total newbie

wget -qO- git.io/hotcoffee | sh

did you put your config in /root/.config/mpv ?
you shouldn't run mpv as root

yes, but it wouldn't load without sudo nautilus (I used nautilus to open chinese cartoon)

putting the config in /root/.config/mpv means it only applies to instances of mpv run as root. /root is root's home folder

Ok, I tried put it in etc/mpv as instructed by the manual, but still the mpv.conf only load when run as su

Your home is in ~. Put it in ~/.config/mpv/, the it doesn't need sudo.

~ is substituted by the home folder of the user you are currently
if he was retarded and ran "sudo nano ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf", it would end up in /root

it required root priviledge to see hidden items (.config folder)?

REEEEE I need my Adobe shiit. Gimp can't fucking replace it and wine is a fucking pain.
I went balls deep on debian and couldn't work on my /gd/

>yet lspci still doesn't list the damn thing at all.
It must be disabled outside of the OS. Like in BIOS/UEFI, with a hardware switch. Or maybe its faulty.

my dad's laptop with broadcom wifi had a button you'd have to press to turn on wifi

it'd stay on after installing the driver but i forgot where i got it from

>it would end up in /root
No it wouldn't unless he runs su first

The ~ substitution happens before the privileged elevation is done.

Try "rfkill" and unblock all. Even works with hardware switches to turn them on

My broadcom WiFi won't connect on the first try.
How I can fix this shit?
Fuck broadcom, their drivers are so shitty, I'd kill whoever made them.

get a better wifi?

I can't, it is a fucking MacBook with some sort of proprietary slot for PCI. I tried putting Qualcomm WiFi, but it didn't fit.
On OS X it had zero (actually no, it was shit too) problems. On Windows - same shit. On GNU/Linux - it depends on phase of moon, sometimes it connects with first click, sometimes it won't connect even after system reboot.

It's written in C++.

Works splendid now, thanks you all.
I can't even imagine that just 10 hours ago I still use windows 8.1 and mpv lel.

That's even worse.

REEE is the expression frogs make when facing normalfags. Do not abuse it as expression of general anger, especially as normalfag.
