He gave you a wrench when you asked for "a thingy that can help me loosen this bolt here"

Pandora's box? It is literally the same thing you would use on your computer, just on your phone.
So here we have to bring to question a couple things. Either your life choices if you are stuck doing 'real life work' on a phone, or your workflow being shit and you not even knowing how to use the tools if you are scared of them, since again you are literally calling them a pandoras box.

How is giving me a terminal emulator going to solve anything?
I dont need do any shit on my phone, i dont need to compile shit on my phone, i dont need to use bloatware zsh functions on my phone
I dont need to run text based games on ym phone
I dont need to run python
I dont need to run vim on my phoine
(these are literally things on the f-droid page for this program)

I need a way to dial in remotely to another system and manage it
You gave me a local android terminal emulator that has an ssh client in it, when all i need is an app that lets me give it configuration settings pre defined in a profile based system and click a button to go to the server i want.
Instead of fucking around with text files every time i need a new ip

You clearly never leave your basement and have never been on a remote work site when you need resources from your office.

It also has a fucking package manager...

You cant seriously tell me this shit isnt bloat just for ssh

Can you somehow adjust the GTK (I think) file picker behavior? Basically the dialog when I press CTRL+O in various programs.
It's kinda fucked, typing letters tries to perform some sort of a retarded recursive search instead of just doing fuzzy navigation in the file list, erasing the letters leaves the last results rather than returning to the file list in the current directory, and backspace won't let me go back in the navigation history. It's fucking cancerous.

Thank you

How would you manage remote machines without a terminal emulator?

I dont need all this shi, /bin/sh is more then sufficent for an ssh client.
You're literaly linking me to a oh-my-zsh bloat shell

That doesn't answer my question through.

You never answered my question

Yes, that looks perfect actually.

has anyone tried installing slackware on a macbook air (i own the 2010 model myself but apparently all of them have the same issue)? i can't get past grub, starting the install just leaves me on a black screen for hours. been stuck on ubuntu for a while and wanted to get something better installed.

Alright. Sorry if this seems involved, but:

First, since you're on KDE, you probably want to change their font settings. Go to Configure Fonts in your System and do:
Anti-aliasing: Enabled
Sub-pixel rendering: RGB
Hinting: Slight

This should apply some settings in a few configuration files, I believe, and it also creates a fonts.conf in your ~/.config/fontconfig

Download this: mega.nz/#!WQMAnAiJ!kywiXnkqFDaApviGXfgaARKcnm0Mx5bFo-PqHB1ADJ8
and place it in the fontconfig folder mentioned before. Afterwards, create conf.d and symlink all the files from conf.avail to it. These are font substitutions and per-font-settings from the old infinality package. Infinality is depreciated but its settings and aliases are still pretty good. I would at the very least download the Liberation or Croscore fonts, since they play extremely well with freetype. Next, you'll want to make an .Xresources file in your home folder. Put these contents in it:
!Font settings
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.autohint: 0
You might want to change dpi to whatever your screen dpi actually is. 96 is the most common. However, mine is 108. It can make a significant difference in the rendering of fonts, so figure it out.
xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution to find your dpi.

That should be it. Look through all the aliases that the fontconfig provides and see which fonts you want to install. If you're using Firefox, you'll also want to set gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.max_generic_substitutions to 127 in your about:config. You also might want to go ahead and edit the fonts.conf made by your system earlier and replace it with the contents of 10-base-rendering.conf. Not sure if that's necessary, but I did it just in case anyway.

Oh, right. If you're using a display manager, the .Xresources should be loaded automatically but if you aren't you need to edit your .xinitrc
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/x_resources

One more thing on Firefox and font rendering: there's a bug with font spacing on certain pages which leads to some pretty bad kerning issues. If this bugs your autism like it did mine, then look at my post here for a dirty fix.

Many thanks, I'll get on it now.

Hey fellow sysadmins, what distro do you use for work? I have been using Mint with XFCE for a while now, and even though it works well overall, it has its problems. ie: Before I leave the office I suspend the computer, and the next day sometimes is all fine, but other days its like it froze or broke or something and I have to hard reset it. Often when I login (reset or not), it forgets the display configuration, I have configured extended monitors and it goes back to mirrored, specially if I unplug the VGA cable (yeah I know, vga...)

I'm starting to get a bit tired of it. Coworker uses Ubuntu but I'm not specially fond of it. What is reasonable to use for this type of work?

>inb4 install gentoo

try xubuntu

What's a good CLI audio metadata editor?

i got it working, to anyone trying this: if you have a working install of grub just add an entry of slackware on usb/dvd/whatever and boot from there. works just fine, make sure to have nomodeset in kernel params though.

I don't know, isn't Mint based on Ubuntu anyway? I would be using a very similar distro with the same DE.
As a quick test I installed MATE and will use it for a few days, to see if the problem was perhaps XFCE.
Otherwise I think I would rather try Debian than move to Ubuntu, but I don't know so much about other distros like Fedora and Suse, haven't used them. Servers I manage all have Debian, CentOS or RedHat, but I only use the cli so I don't know how good Debian or a RPM based distro would be for desktop.

Here's a dumb one: what's a good alt-tabber i can use if i'm on awesome wm? No frills except a popup showing all the windows i can switch between. Bonus points if it already takes my terminal or gtk colors so i dont have to spend all year configuring it

kid3-cli

Fedora provides a fairly solid desktop experience.

OpenSUSE (KDE Plasma). It has the functionality and user friendlyness of Mint but it works way better. It's easy to install and easy to use. The software repos and the 1-click installation feature make finding and using software easy. Oh, and KDE Connect comes stock. Which is useful for stuff like presentations or sending a pic to your computer for /bst/.

what is this subject line pls explain. Also how would I go about creating a fully customized DE using wayland? Does anyone have any good resources?

Hey guys, I trying to figure out how to use lemonbar with bspwm but im stuck on how to get it to show the workspaces. if someone could help id appreciate it (preferably custom named workspaces, as in renaming the 0-9 workspaces) ive already tried researching and found this:
forum.manjaro.org/t/scriptable-lightweight-panel-for-bspwm-with-lemonbar/41939/106

also could someone link to a proper walkthough of how to use lemonbar formatting options, im too much of a brainlet for the archwiki.

Thanks, I followed every step to a T however no dice :(

I wouldn't worry about it. When it does fail, you get a new drive and restore your backup. Could be months, could be years, no point in forking over cash to replace your drives immediately.

Is ubuntu still the go-to babbies first linux? I've had some guys I chat with on the regular reccomend me manjaro instead, but I don't know enough (read: anything) about linux to know the difference. I want got into linux because win10 on my laptop is pissing me off.

you can boot into an ubuntu live cd and see if you like it

My laptop doesn't have a cd drive. Does usb work?

Nevermind, it was a bitch but I got it working. Thanks!

yeah

How does it compare to just using ffmpeg?

runit > openrc > systemd

how do i mirror a folder on 2 hard drives? i just find RAID solutions but i don't think RAID is what i am looking for, i just want to automatic backup one folder

systemd > runit > openrc

thanks!

cd /usr/bin
ls -l > less

Overwrites the less file with the standard output of ls - l. How would you fix this problem? I read it in a book as an example of cocking things up between redirects and pipes but it didn't express a solution.

ffmpeg metadata is good if you wanna write scripts from dawn till dusk, kid3-cli has lots of built-in functionality that makes batch retagging jobs extremely easy

dnf reinstall $(dnf provides less)

Oh it says kid3 only supports mp3, I need flac (vorbis comment) metadata editing

this could only happen in a shell running as the root user, you'd get a permission error otherwise
use sudo to elevate specific commands instead of using su to elevate the whole shell

>Kid3 is an application to edit the ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in MP3 files in an efficient way. These tags can be edited by most MP3 players, but not in a very comfortable and efficient way. Moreover the tags in Ogg/Vorbis, Opus, DSF, FLAC, MPC, APE, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex, TrueAudio, WavPack, WMA, WAV, AIFF files and tracker modules (MOD, S3M, IT, XM) are supported too.

Thanks a lot for helping me. Uninstalling digimend-dkms (the drivers) from the terminal fixed it and allowed me to start X again. For some reason digimend v9 crashes X, using digimend v8 doesn't cause that problem.

Oh nvm I thought it only supported id3
How does it compare to metaflac then?

rsync

Use crontab for automation

CloverOS if you don't mind the developer's idiotic choice of USE flags.

Nope. This is one of many reasons why Gtk is a dumb. The good news is that any flatpak'd application that uses XDG portals will use your desktop's file picker regardless of toolkit, so once Firefox+Wayland+flatpak gets ironed out (all the features are there but it's a bit buggy), Plasma Wayland will be the single best environment on GNU/Linux hands down.

thanks man!

I know this is faglet not fagbet

ssh [email protected]
password: *******
you@remote ~ $

you could even ssh-keygen and copy the key.pub to your remote's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and you won't have to write the pass every time.

That's given the fact that you do any meaningful work through ssh from your phone (literally the worst most impractical way to ssh into something)

What does this mean?
Means you're either both autistic and retarded, Which is amazing,
or you're a stupid drone who memorized a few commands from a pajeet's youtube tutorial video and fails to do anything outside of that scope.

In both cases please resign from your job right now, you're hurting the company by simply existing and your employer is retarded for giving you the password to that machine.

addendum; hate to type the machine's ip and username?
add its ip and username to your side's ~/.ssh/config file
like this:

Host remote
HostName xxx.xxx.xx.xx
User you

you can now type ssh remote directly

This also works with bastion hosts if you need to hop through one. You can set up bastions for pattern matching.

how do i make mpv increase or decrease playback speed using absolute reference, not relative to previous one, for example to go from 100% to 90 then 80 not from 100 to 91 and 83

How do I remove this from tray bar in KDE?

I know dual booting is an ancient practice but I wanna do it for a while to figure out if I want to stick with loonix.

However, is there any way (without screwing anything up) I can remove windows and resize the loonix partition? I remember doing it in the past and fucking everything up.

so nuke windows when you decide to settle on linux and make the windows partitions linux partitions?

Sure, but ain't there any way I could just merge both partitions?

10/10

the problem is, you have to install windows before linux because if you install linux and then windows, windows will delete or at least fuck up your linux. so your windows partitions comes before your linux partitions and i don't think you want to expand your boot partition, so your home partition is on the other side so to delete/merge windows partition you would have to move all of your partitions. it's possible but it could be you fuck up your system doing so, it's not recommended doing so iirc
thanks

Yeah when you have both OS's installed (remember install windows first, then your linux distro) to make sure grub or whatever you use instead is setup properly. If you decide to purge windows boot up into a live cd, use gparted (or some similar partition manager or fdisk) delete the partition of windows, then extend the linux partition with the unformated, raw partition space.

you could delete windows, dd (clone) your linux over to the deleted windows partition, delete the old linux partition and expand using this.
you also just could risk fucking something up and just move it, expand and if something goes wrong you reinstall your stuff.
just make sure you use another partition for /home than for /root

Or you could just reformat the Windows partition and mount it wherever and use as needed.

Symlinks work fine.

elab pls

I'm a web developer. KDE or GNOME? KDE Neon or Fedora?

doesn't matter which DE for your use-case.
Just pick the one you find comfy.

as for the distro, I think you're better off with Fedora cause bigger repos. But if I'm allowed to offer a third option, go with Ubuntu as it has even bigger repos and is automatically supported by every new software that comes out.
You will probably be using npm anyway for your js modules so in reality even the distro won't get in your way much. So again pick the package manager you like and go with it.

yeah obviously but he stated 2 times he doesn't want this

and if you're comfortable with building from source, distros become irrelevant really.

What are the most stable DEs? I'm not worried about resource consumption.

it's ~0.3mb not even 3mb. user is a faggot.
It's the size of.. nothing. Imagine calling an app less than a megabyte in size 'bloat' lmao

bonus; termux offers missing keyboard keys so you don't even have to install {Esc,Hacker,whatever} Keyboard for arrow and tab keys.

Good, thanks.

Is switching from manjaro to arch worth it?

no

yes

any lmde3 user with Power Managment bug ?
any fixes?

I've been wondering the same for awhile now, but I guess it's not if your Manjaro just werks.
