/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

thank you for the help dearest negroes
what i'll do now is install debian sid with proprietary drivers and try a minimal kwin-wayland gui
i was already running it with this exact command on xorg and it was horrid, i was even getting some kind of effect with the window lagging behind the mouse when dragged around

>>>/sqt/
>>>/mpv general/

KWin has its own built-in compositor. If you tried running compton without disabling that first, lag and the visual effects you saw wouldn't surprise me.

...

0% chance to fail if your hardware is OK and you don't get a power outage you fucking braindead idiot monkey.

That being said you
1. need to shrink home
2. need to move home to the end of the drive
3. need to move the swap partition next to your home
4. resize the extended partition so it starts further in the drive, putting the free space before it and after sdc1
And this will take a long time.

eh thought it was more a Linux thing, but it was lazy of me either way. After seconds of searching heres what I used, encoding now:
ffmpeg -i "video.mkv" -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -sn -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -vcodec libx264 "video.mkv.ts"

>Wayland

ok thanks senpai
also im not a monkey, that's kinda mean

naw i was running it on openbox
community.kde.org/KWin/Wayland
what ? am i confused about something ?

Linus isn't a lying retard that thinks "You can make code without money" like stupid monkey stallman does.

Oh, dunno then in that case. I'm running compton on top of openbox right now and I've never seen the issue you mentioned.

This will not work. Data is sequentially arranged in blocks on your disk, e.g. "fragments". So you can fill partition sdc1 with data fragements until it runs against the border of partition sdc5. So you want to resize partition sdc5
You have 3 problems:
1. You would have to resize partition sdc6, then sdc5
2. Those data fragments are at the start AND end of the partition, so you have to de- and refragement
3. sdc5 and sdc6 are, i guess, lvm virtual partitions encapsulated in sdc2, so you ALSO have to resize lvm

At this point I would backup and redo everything. And ask myself: Do I really need split root and home partitions?
And definitly put swap to the end of the superblock.

I've generally always had problems on anything KDE and wayland itself. Do what you want you want user but note that setup isnt really minimal nor stable.

How do I “log out and log back in as my new user”?

fugg i know kde isn't minimal but it's the only official way to use wayland on debian (part from the foot which i'm never touching again), and arch has been a mess for me
do you recommend another distro ?
type exit in the tty

What DE is best for someone coming from windows 10? My friend wants to move to linux, and currently uses windows 10 with the default iconified taskbar, where you hover over and it shows previews. Suggestions?

could you post this shitty image in an even higher resolution you imbecile

then login as the user i assume you created during the setup

>The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device. This problem will be corrected by write.

What do?

Rude

Personally I just use Debian (Or Devuan to get rid of systemD). If you're that set on wayland I can't speak much since I had multiple problems and just left it. It still doesn't feel ready after all this time. Sway looks cool though.
Don't like KDE, but KDE can be a good step from Windows 10. (Kubuntu is easy)
But if you're willing to put minimal effort in to customization then XFCE is much more worthwhile (Maybe Xubuntu is worth a shot, not sure if they improved its base look but its as simple as apt-getting Arc or Adapta) For XFCE use the built in whisker menu over the default launcher too.

The desktop environment is called Xfce. Not XFCE.

>arch youtuber ricing script
cringe and redditpilled

I am so sorry but I am still confused. I am too retarded to into Linux but I already started so I have no choice but to follow through. I ran LARBS and it made a user but I don’t know how to log out then log back in, I am in [root@archiso /]#, do I just type in exit? If so how do I log in to my user after that? I am so sorry I am really retarded.

>ffmpeg -i "video.mkv" -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -sn -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -vcodec libx264 "video.mkv.ts"
Transcode had washed out colours (low reds or something), overall dont really care

Yeah I regret trying to do this I should have started with ubuntu or some shit...

just hold the power button on your PC lol.
Then when you next boot (I'm guessing you should remove your install drive or whatever first) you will eventually be able to type in your username and password
You will probably just log in to a tty session, you will need to start the X display server by typing in "startx". I made a couple assumptions here but if your using Arch, read through the first couple wiki articles, maybe install a display manager or do this wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit#Autostart_X_at_login to save a bit of time
Debian > Ubuntu, full DE from checking a box on install.

>[root@archiso /]#
you fucked up mate, you ran the script on the installation iso located on your usb, you need to run it on an installation and not the installer image
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide
here's the installation guide for arch, it's pretty stupid to want to install arch just to look 1337. i don't recommend it
try mint or ubuntu instead, and look up guides on ricing those if your goal is just looks

Thank you both so much. I fell for the arch meme I went with it for no good reason in particular, I think I might just try an easier distro.

GNU/Linux is quite literally a real life example of it working, you idiot.

...

i'm sorry user, that's not even falling for the meme, the meme is that arch is minimal and teaches you about linux, you're just being an idiot
here's a riced ubuntu, that hacker enough for you?
don't bait the Jow Forumstwats in this thread, nigger

Attached: rebbit.gif (1280x800, 736K)

Theres also Fedora, but yeah Debian and Fedora are both pretty good

Don't reply to bait please.

Someone coming in here stating things as fact (especially when trying to relate this OS to political ideologies) is clearly not here to discuss anything with you.
They're just here to spam their shit and change your mind without listening to anything you say. We've had a pretty dedicated troll doing that here for a while now.

Just ignore

Figured it out, mostly.
To make watch work with aliases, add this to .bashrc:
alias watch='watch '

To make a function that can watch other functions, do:
watchfunc ()
{
watch -x bash -c "$@"
}

The functions you want to watch must have "export -f " after them for this to work.
watchfunc "foo bar"

Less cringe than using windows.

Go away.

Is linux communism?

Linux is a kernel.

Only gnu

>supporting monopolies; everyone gets the same thing plusminus proprietary blobs
-> Open Source, Linux Foundation, permissive licensing

>supporting a free market, where everyone can provide the best thing possible
-> Free Software, GNU, Copyleft licensing

You're a retarded gorilla. Let me tell you why:

Originally Linux was released with this license:
> - You may not distibute this for a fee, not even "handling" costs.
Source: mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.01

Luckily things changed and Linux was re-re-licensed under the GPL:
>I've had a couple of requests to make it compatible with the GNU copyleft, removing the "you may not distribute it for money" condition.
Source: mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.12

Just let's say that GNU free'd Linux from Communism.

What is the best distro for playing games?

Turned out it had to be "intel i915" instead of just "intel"

I would gladly pay to use Linux. Imagine how advanced it would be if it had the user base of windows or mac. Imagine how advanced technology would be if Linux had a payment plan from the start instead of donations

Gnu is literal communism
>you MUST give away your source code to everyone
>EVERYONE is allowed to alter,modify,destroy,castrate and STEAL your code
>EVERYONE is allowed to steal your code and claim it as their own and redistribute it with a 1 bit patch

Thats some weaponized communism if i ever saw it

>arch pacman wrappers
So now fucking pacaur is being "deprecated" for no reason? This is like the 4th one, can't these idiot nerds just make a tool with exactly the same API as pacman except with AUR? The flavor of the month has an anime banner on Github and the author is too cool to have documentation online in formats other than raw groff source (Jesus Christ) so I bet he posts on Jow Forums.

I could never get into tiling WMs desu.

>So now fucking pacaur is being "deprecated" for no reason?
No reason besides the dev not wanting to work on it anymore.

Didn't you read the post.

>What will you do without freedom?
Use both of my external monitors with my display link dock

The GPL is a dictatorship of the proletariat (regular computer users).

I am pretty upset with the fact that I cant get Linux and 4k to work, I am using Debian and 4k is a mess and on top of that I have to boot into an older kernel because the drivers fucked it all up. I'm thinking of switching to Win10 and just living with the fact that company's are going to spy on you. That or try Fedora or god for bit Ubuntu. Probably Win10.

No need to post, multiple companies already know what's up.

Do you get cash for posting or do you do it for free?

I wish I did.

>non-centered "freedom"
My OCD disapproves.

Follow the right path.

i would like to say it was a small dig at GIMP, but it was just a botched job of making it many moons ago.

It's great and depressing after all.
Thanks.

>buy expensive computer
>install muh basement hobbyist OS on it
>never realize its full potential

woah user, you bought a super computer?
fuck off consumerist scum. go jack off to your LEDs

No, I just expect GUIs that don't crash in spectacular ways in 2019

Luckily there's Windows.

How to show proof that you run on bare metal and not in a VM?

show them in person
there's no screenshot or recording that couldn't be faked

Why aren't you using Linux backed big data cloud solutions? You miss: blockchain like security, agile uptime and up2date industry standard utilities.

actually, supercomputers run (gnu+)linux
windows is the hobbyis os

I am trying to repair my nixos install. I changed my partitions a little and now it boots with some file system error. Now I am trying to get network up.
$> ping 8.8.8.8
works
$> ping google.com
ping: google.com: System error
$>host google.com
connection timed out

What do you get from
$> cat /etc/resolv.conf

can you guys recommend me a font that resembles terminus but also has box characters that aren't broken

>actually, supercomputers run (gnu+)linux
yeah i know

windows

So, redpill me on this for a sec. What's its future? I know they released an ISO-refresh not too long ago, but it's been 1.5 years since Solus 3 came out. Any info on when 4 will see its release? Would be a shame if they'd discontinue it, since I've been using it for quite some time now and it just werks, never had any problems disrupting workflow or usability

Ask on Solus' IRC or something, they'll know best?

Dunno which box characters you need. Noto Mono maybe [I'd generally just use otf/ttf fonts rather than bitmap ones, YMMV].

Hi.

I have a directory structure like this:

/root/Folder_1/Sub_folder_1/File
---------------Sub_folder_2/File
---------------Sub_folder_3/File

/root/Folder_2/Sub_folder_1/File
---------------Sub_folder_2/File
---------------Sub_folder_3/File

And so on with 72 folders. Any idea on how to create a file somewhat similar to a table (spreedsheet/ods, XML (?) file) that contains the list of the Folders, subfolders and files, but maintaining the structure directory?

Any ideas?

I figure you want to put these into a yaml/json/xml type of document?

Something like this random thing from the internet? Check the code first:
git.gdritter.com/GRUtils/blob/master/scripts/dir2yaml

tree -X

Does anybody know the name of the terminal program that displays a bunch of pipes scrolling around? it's kinda like cmatrix in that it's a dumb graphical thing.

stop ricing

i liked that screensaver

what can i do to stop baloo_file from fucking up on every boot? it just gets to about 6gb of ram and then slows the whole system down
