In bash:$ bind '"\eu": "uptime\n"' would bind ESC + u to run 'uptime'.
Make sure not to overwrite already bound keys. Run $ bind -p to get a list of current keybinds.

bind '"^]]]B": "red"' & bind '"^]]]B": "red\n"' dont work :\\\

This is my third time posting this today because I'm shit out of ideas and patience.
How do I configure input devices on kwin+wayland from cli?
I found this
forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=151315
which seems like it's relevant, but I can't figure out how to configure dbus from a tty, and even if I could it just seems like there has to be a simpler way...

how do i fucking format a partition as raw

Make partition, then don't mkfs. What is it for?

i'm retarded
at least i'm still at the process of installing and i haven't really lost anything
i did dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 and for some reason it fucked my partition table, created 64 fake partitions
i was trying to remove formatting so grub could write to it in MBR

for some reason i always go full retard mode on grub step

grub installation is just
grub-install /dev/sda

, mbr is not a partition

MBR is a partition table type
GPT is a partition table type
I accidentally did everything under MBR because I was using fdisk and I'm used to parted.
Pacstrapped and finished the whole process, then realized at installing grub that I didn't do GPT.
So, I tried to run with it, and I had formatted /dev/sda1 (efi) as fat16, but then it was throwing an error about "fat" and "ext" not supporting embedding.
I try writing it with zeroes, hoping it will wipe any formatting on that particular partition.

Today, I learn a valuable lesson, and that lesson is to not do any experimentation with Linux unless I look shit up beforehand.

just finished installing gentoo, set up my user account and installed sudo but still have to configure a desktop of which i have not decided on yet.
anything i should do before attempting that?

The partition scheme is called msdos, the first 512b is the mbr where the bootloader (grub, ntldr, or lilo if you're an oldfag) lives. Grub has no surprises on bios/legacy boot mode, and lots of surprises on GPT.

Right, however, my laptop supports efivars, so I don't see why not to use GPT. Other than your 'surprises' mentioned with it
One day, I'll get good at installing without getting distracted constantly

About to install Ubuntu, boot SSD storage on HDD. I've already installed windows and partitioned the drives 50/50. From what I read googling around these are how I should organize my partitions:

SSD: /boot: 1GB. /: 15GB

HDD: /usr: 10GB /home: 100+GB. /tmp: 2GB. SWAP: 8GB

What should I change or is this good?

>Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.11 (wheezy)
What do?

should be fine

Nah
ssd: 20gb /
hdd: rest /home
tmpfs /tmp

just gonna repost my query from the old thread since this just became live:

beginner trying to set up a remote ssh server for non-local connections on my box, but not too sure what I'm doing wrong. I've forwarded my ports and used canyouseeme .org to check if they were being blocked, but they're not by my ISP. using netcat to scan suggests that the ports are open too, but using putty to connect to my public IP either hangs or just says connection refused. I've edited my sshd config to open gateway ports, and still no dice. I don't want to believe I'd have to do something different on Void compared to other distros either.

any anons been in a similar situation? Not really sure what the next steps are or how to proceed.

What's CRUX like? I use Slackware and I heard that it's pretty similar. Would there be any incentive to switch?

so don't worry about /usr? and I want to put tmp and swap 8gb at the end of partition right? I only have 8gb ram atm so I want to have a swap in case I run out of space

No. /boot, /home and / are the only partitions you need. /tmp optionally if you want to do something like tmpfs.

Reposting from the previous thread with slightly more information :

>Try to bind my GPU to the vfio-pci driver for a VM
>Onboard HDA soundcard with a completely unrelated vendor ID and IOMMU group stops working
>Unbind GPU from the vfio-pci driver
>Sound card works fine again

I can see a small difference in dmesg before it succeeds/fails :

When it doesn't work :
>iommu: Adding device [pci device id] to group 21
>iommu: Using direct mapping for device [pci device id]
>snd_hda_intel: probe of [pci device id] failed with error -2

When it does :

>iommu: Adding device [pci device id] to group 21
>snd_hda_intel [pci device id]: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

There's this "Using direct mapping" line that pops up when my GPU is on the vfio-pci driver and precedes the error, but that didn't lead me to any further information.

what do I use now that trannies have ruined debian?

I am trying to get webkit based browsers to work like surf or vimb, but I am having some trouble.

surf was giving an error saying error writting TLS data or something like that on sites like firefox.com, after googling around for a bit, I managed to fix that after updating gnutls, libsoup, and glib-networking, not sure which fixed it, but it went away.
However it still crashes on some other sites like google.com or firefox.com after loading the initial layout.

vimb gives me the message Webview Crashed for example on google.com/?gws_rd=ssl andon mozilla.org/-en-US/firefox/new/?redirect_source=firefox.com

I tried updating webkit-gtk and gtk+, but it's still happening.

Hey friends, I'm a fairly basic linux user and I'd like a lightweight IDE for lubuntu, running on my T60, any ideas which might not cripple the computer?

what the fuck??? so i installed pulseaudio on debian and then it got stuck on this? i already checked the config and reinstalled it

I have a samba share in /tmp/samba to use it as an "wireless pendrive" in my home network. Which is pretty cool. My /tmp is mounted on a ramdisk, so nothing is persistent - even the samba/ directory. Here goes my question - how should I approach creating it at boot?
As a temporary solution I edited the smb.service file to include:
ExecStartPre=su -c "mkdir -p /tmp/samba" sambauser

So, what's the proper approach of doing that?

I would do it with a tmpfs on /srv/smb.

thanks, note taken

Trying to pick out a Void Linux ISO... what's the difference between void-x86 and void-x86-musl?

Welcome to /faglit/

musl is an alternative to gnu libc
musl-libc.org/

The Void ISO comes with 2 different C libraries, glibc (GNU C library, the standard one a lot of distros use) and musl, another lightweight one.

The different ISOs refer to installs with those different libraries prepackaged iirc. the regular void-x86 is with glibc; I'd recommend it if you don't care which C library you're using,

musl is like glibc but with more compatibility problems and no multilib

Thanks anons

Just use Arch you contrarian faggot

You're the only Slackware installation here.

There's definitely at least a few who've used slackware that lurk here. But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for one to show up.

I've managed to find the culprit : the GPU's integrated sound card.

>Pass it through, motherboard sound card breaks
>Don't pass it through (but pass through the other parts of the GPU), sound card works

It still makes no fucking sense, and nothing is fixed because I HAVE to pass through that fucking GPU sound card because of IOMMU, but it's something.

I suppose one solution would be to use the ACS override patch and see where that leads me, but apparently the >Arch build that integrates it is not up to date.

Is gnome on wayland ready? or would you run xorg?
Fedora 29 seems to think it is.

since idk when pulseaudio won't stat automatically when you first start something that requires it and needs to be explicitly started.
idk why your DE won't start it.

You can fix this by:
-autorunning "pulseaudio -D"
-go to etc/pulseaudio and enable autostart in the config files.

What are good reasons to use a terminal multiplexer?

My dad started using Ubuntu MATE. I don't get it. He started using Linux back in the 90s with Slackware, so he isn't a noob at all.

So I have an X220 coming from eBay that I'm going to use as a dedicated Linux Machine to help me learn more about it. Most experience is in heavily Debian based distros, and I'm going to start using Fedora once I get that shit set up - mainly because I eventually want to get some Linux certs and using a Red Hat distro would probably be wise considering what I want.

My question: Outside of the package manager, how is this different? What would I have to learn in a red hat environment? It seems like Linux is Linux is Linux, except for package managers? I'm definitely overlooking some things.

mpv with appropriate flags.
Check the mpv general for their resources or ask them what they recommend.

I'm running debian stretch with xfce-4 and I've encountered a problem when I use two monitors
I can't drag windows from one monitor to the other, it seems to get stuck at the border between the monitors. I can almost drag it all the way across, but the last bit stays one the first monitor and won't budge.
does anyone have a clue on how to solve this? it used to work on jessie.

what is a good and lightweight netctl alternative for openrc? is it worth it to use a network manager to cut off a few seconds of boot time?

Linux newfag here.
Do these clowns regularly fuck up their mirrors so everything brek.
If so I don't want to use this any more, I already know jack shit so every single fucking security update failing and locking the system up is not really what I need.

opensuse is by far the shittiest distro ever made
fucken manjaro is more stable
if you're a newfag stick to any *buntu, elementaryOS is best for begginners.

openrc has its own network scripts. It's called "net.lo"
If you symlink it to "net.X" it will start the device it was renamed to.

In addition it managed networkmanager well: after starting nm it put network requiring services on hold until nm reports it managed to set up network and continues to start services which don't depend on network.

Just by looking at the window I knew this photo was taken in Brazil, even before I saw the Unicamp logo.

Thanks user, I really thought that 1/10 review by that Dec guy was out of line, but obviously not. I just don't get how their own default update servers can give wrong checksums and fuck up their own security updates. I'm out.

Drag-and-drop from file manager to the upload button. I've also seen some patches that change retarded GTK filepicker to the Qt one which has nice previews and stuff.

i have a wifi and eth connected, how do i select one or the other?

the solution is not that great, i have tried the patch; what you should do is learn to use gtk and DnD from FM when you need gallery view
otherwise, Recent, sort by Modified, type to search

>Drag-and-drop from file manager to the upload button.
>it actually works on Windows too

What the fuck. Anyway, it's still pretty annoying to do, especially when 10+ years of muscle memory tell me to browse and pick files. Can you tell me more about these patches? I googled for yours and couldn't find any solution for LM.
