haha yeah
try solus

Mint
theres no other distro that is as noob friendly as mint

Having random constant hardlocks.
I've removed everything but one ssd, 1 ram dimm and 1 graphics card.
During the lockup the entire machine is locked, about 50% of the time i cant even use SysRQ to force a reboot and have to use the physical power switch.
When i am able to gain back control, there is nothing in dmesg or journalctl.

There are no smart errors on the ssd
Ran memtest overight on the single stick of ram and it reported no errors.
Temps are all in acceptable ranges.
Is there some lower level monitoring service i can install? I enabled watchdog but isnt outputting anything in to the log during the lockups.

I failed to achieve this but I found out about udiskie that does that for me so it's OK I guess.

Any recommendations for a guide to look at for setting up an internal mail server for my home network?

When I switch between work spaces the picture preview in my terminal disappears. I am using urxvt, w3m and ranger. Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

Got two really dumb issues and even StackExchange won't help me with the second one.
1) Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME. When I've got a VM open (Oracle Virtual Box) and mouse integration is turned off, the mouse inside the guest OS will sometimes be frozen halfway across the guest OS screen and cause the host OS's GNOME overview to appear. This didn't happen in Unity.
2) Back in Ubuntu 16.04, I found a way to disable my laptop's internal speakers at such a deep level that they don't even show up in Pulse Audio, or any other audio programme like it. Now that I've upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04, I can't find any way to un-disable them. Does anyone know of a fix?

I would check the CPU-cooler, because I had similar experiences with hardlocks fairly often which was caused by my cooler (the Noctua U12P "spring" screws got weakened). Once I got a new one, the problem went away. Try reseating yours.

None of my temps are high.

Is there a good reason to stop using termite and switch to rxvt? Being an Arch i3 ricer doesn’t count.

Just the CPU-cooler getting loose (causing a gap between it and the CPU) enough to cause a lockup.

Check your bios

Ubuntu 18.04 here - Why my Ethernet is not working after "waking up" the PC after suspend? I had to reboot, what's the point of Suspend if network ceases to work then?

Right, but if it was metal on metal or not contacting the entire surface, there would be apparent thermal issues,even slightly elevated. There being air between the sink and the die would not cause a software/hardware lockup, there is no halt in the system that would cause a lockup if it simply was not touching. It would simply have elevated temperatures.

I know for a fact that I've not touched that.

What would be the best CPU/IO sheduler for desktop without SSD?

CPU's have governors, use schedutil
Use BFS for disk

Is there a way to change the contents of multiple files that are on multiple lines? I want to change the contents of my tag on my website, but it's on multiple lines, and in multiple files.

What is the standard utility (because there must be one) that can look for and (or anything else) and delete what's in the middle and put something else in its place?

I don't even need the actual solution, just a point in the right direction.

for loop
sed/awk
patch

If you mean urxvt: Daemon modes, perl scripting.
Can you post an example file and and the preferred result?

Cool. Thank you. I'll look into it.

Essentially, without filling the screen with markup and just to get the point across, I want to change every file on my site so that

link to homepage

is now

link to homepage
link to about
link to other sites

That's not exactly what I want to do, but it is the same in essence.

$ sed 's:.*:baz:'

Does anyone else hate the unix meme with a passion? Everyone jumps on the unix glorification bandwagon.
>unix philosophy
>the unix way
>unix utilities
>unix porn

Even worse:
>unix/linux (meaning macOS/GNU)
>unix: be free or die
>unix development
>certified UNIX
And all this just to look nerdy cool. Zoomers don't know what Unix is; it's a dead system from the 70s, developed by AT&T and nobody uses it anymore. Not only is it dead, it was actually really shit. You had to deal with LOTS of limitations and you couldn't just fix a bug because the system was proprietary pig disgusting. *nix is cool? Nigger that word was used eo UNIX fags don't sue you. Certified UNIX systems? Systems that meet standards from 100years ago nobody cares about; except Apple, still trying to get a food in the door with their cripple OS containing outdated BSD and GNU tools that macOS is. Unixporn? Suck my dick. Show me POSIX porn. Unix philosophy? Get off my lawn. Freedom is my philosophy. Fuck UNIX. FUCK UNIX.

How else you'd call that thing?

Can an outdated livecd/usb cause compiling in chroot to fail?

What's the standard BSD shell?

Why haven't you migrated away from glibc and to musl c? Its the superior option in all cases

Imagine going to the GNU thread and telling people to not use GNU.

Do you also go to the liberal club and ask everyone to go conservative? Do you also go to a chinese restaurant and tell them to serve japanese food? Do you also go to gay bars and tell them to be straight?

Imagine taking over a thread that existed for 2 years prior and forcing your gnu religion in to the thread?

>sh(1) shell
What crap is this shit? Everyone knows that there's no sh shell in unix-like systems. What's sh linked to on BSD? Any better source,

Feel free to craete your bare kernel thread, fag.

Ill stay in the original thread and post as i please :)
gnu is about hatred and exclusion, not technical superiority. As evident with your posts thus far. The obviously superior option is disregarded purely because it wasnt stolen from someone else and stallman took a shit on it before handing it out.

varies by BSD distro.

Try restarting the network-manager service via the cli.
If it works, then the problem lies within systemd.
If you ask me, I would say find a distro without systemd.

I'm thinking my next OSes will be DragonFlyBSD and a port of AROS to x64.
I know DragonFly isn't Linux, and AROS barely uses GNU, but what does Jow Forums think?
Good idea? Bad idea? What projects would be most interesting with either? Should I neck myself?
Just don't know where else to get feedback on this.

Go away with your hobo musl.

If the Debian stable kernel is 4.9 LTS, is a full OS update from oldstable/unsupported always supposed to upgrade to that version?

yes. Newer kernel is available in backports.

Thanks. I would think so. Aware of backports a s well.
Must have messed something up when I did a full upgrade because was stuck on an ancient wheezy kernel.

this but unironically

faster I/O

Try running update-grub otherwise might need to manually boot into the new kernel and remove the older one

Thanks, already ran through a manual upgrade after some minor firmware loading breakage. Was just wondering if there was an easy explanation for what held back the kernel update to the target LTS after executing the full version upgrade. Must have been some error on my part I overlooked as based on your feedback the proper system upgrade procedure would have upgraded the kernel.

Is this your first time starting xterm?

What shell scripting, scripting, and programming languages should i learn to be a linux admin wizard?

install gentoo

execline

it's riced to look like it's not

>go to linux thread
>ask linux question
>get replies like
is this one of those threads on Jow Forums where people are "into" something, but really just take selfies with whatever subject it is?

GNU/Linux*

Learn bash.

Nah, I think they just consider the question too general or n00bish, but here
Bash, Python
and if you want to manage boots
GRUB scripting

that one is near the top of my list. thanks tho.

TY, ill add GRUB to the list.

info coreutils
man hier

>go to a board which is not a tech support board

>insert edgy kys comment
literally you. you should get more exercise. it will lead to better sleep which will lead to a reduction in your emotional outbursts.

What is this thread then? There's 24/7 tech support ITT, nerd.

thank you. havn't heard of man hier yet, gonna look into it.

zsh (with oh-my-zsh) for ultimate productivity

thanks, going to look into this.

I'm the user that suggested GRUB
and not the one you replied to and no offence intended but
dynkwyarn?
dy?

whats your point?

...

My point is that he's not entirely wrong
and this is the internet so the kys comes with the territory.

name a better shell faggots

Attached: 1493093009166.png (650x650, 10K)

the one i use

hes still a kid and needs more exercise though.
and utilizing a kys on someone trying to learn is pretty poor form. literally "i want to help myself, but theres so many directions i dont know where to begin". getting that emotional over a question with no impact on your life like that shows a real case of irritability. hes probably fat and doesn't get enough activity to get good rest.

terminal images are a hacky meme that gets broken by everything

What's the MS Paint equivalent on linux?

id like to interject

imagemagick

is there a theme for openbox that looks like windows 7?

I finally have debian fully installed on my Macbook air but the last task I am running into is being able to control the backlight keys. I don't know what PCI port it is. When I configured the backlight and looked up the driver for that it was fine but I'm at a loss for the keyboard

lol
'macbook'

whats the best distro without systemd?

It's the best performing Thin and light I've used in comparison to a surface 6 and LG gram

'macbook'

...

How can I disable the intel gpu if there is no option in the bios?

void is dead though

Block the module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

switcheroo kernel module + sysfs interface
help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics

Or you can check your distros wiki if they have a page for switcheroo

Thats what I was thinking I could do what module would it be? i915?

Its not a laptop its a crappy dell desktop with an ivy bridge i5 im using until zen 2 would this still apply?

yes

>it's impossible to install lua 5.3 on gentoo

no it isnt, what the fuck are you talking about

gentoomen pls help:
lets say I want to use genkernel to make an initramfs (for lvm) but I also want to use a stable release and configure it
>emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources sys-fs/cryptsetup
>eselect kernel list
>eselect kernel set (to 4.14.whateverprob)
>genkernel --menuconfig --save-config --splash --luks --lvm --disklabel --makeopts=-j5 all
And then to update it for security patches:
>emerge -u gentoo-sources
>eselect kernel list
>eselect kernel set [x]
then just run the same genkernel command?
I only skimmed the handbook so far I know I should RTFM but I'm trying to wrap my head around what I need for basic functionality first.
