Welcome to /flt/ - Friendly Linux Thread. Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes. 1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the linux operating system without installing it. 2) Dual boot the linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the linux operating system. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with linux.
What distros are commonly used as servers? Is it just CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu?

I'm planning to move to Linux on my desktop and laptop computers. Is Antergos a good distro? Can a system update really break an Arch installation, or is that just a meme? Do kernel upgrades break the proprietary nvidia driver?

That's pretty accurate. Obviously RHEL too. SLES is semi common as well. Some people probably use arch on their personal servers, but not common in enterprise.

How do you search the filesystem for a file or directory in the terminal? I've tried find, which and search but none of them really work like a stupid millennial like me would expect.

If I'm running two separate instances of the same OS on two different partitions, and did all of my work with accounts that have my identity attached to them with one and everything else on the other, would that be sufficient to maintain good privacy?

I just got a new wireless card but it's not working. If it doesn't autodetect I should just be able to find the driver based on the card's model number and add the driver using insmod or modprobe, right? Anything I could be missing?

Does anyone who understands anything know what to do? It's either something with grsec (kernel configuration) or it's a permissions issue (probably polkit).
Can someone point me in the right direction? I really do not feel like process-of-elimination configuring my kernel right now.
Jaxon Ross
why does it say all jews 2050?
Connor Adams
I was considering Debian recently, for my fathers PC as second boot for banking and such and recently came new v8.6 stable branch so I checked kernel version - 3.16
I checked release page and even the future stable will only be 4.10 so no skylake support for example, and that will be like 2 years after the hardware is out...
this seems utterly crazy to me especially when considered that theres testing and stable and no middle ground
so I guess Ubuntu LTS is the way to go

which flash player do you have installed? what video card do you have? which driver are you using?
Charles Thomas
hello friends
new to linux here. (2 months of home daily driver - windows at work)
What else to put in my .bashrc file?
Ryan Fisher
if you want it to be your /home (i assume thats what you would do with the lion's share of your storage) create a partition in it (ext4 ot whatever, i use xfs for /home) and mount it at /home
"free space" is not used in the partition table, and therefore not usable by filesystems.

With that said, we the GNU/Linux community, are a welcoming community. Assuming you didn't meant to post on the /sqt/, either ask for tech support or just go for Linux Mint, it is fairly compatible with probably most hardware and similar to Windows in its UI design, so if your problem is not really hardware related GNU/Linux could be a solution for it.
Elijah Sullivan
No. Yes Never happended to me, but i guess it can, in more unstable distros.
Dylan Richardson
reminder that this is a troll tread, don't get trolled buddies, use this thread:
Connor White
Because there are many ways to do stuff and maybe simply because user was interested on doing something even if user didn't have the proper background. Probably user doesn't know about nm-cli, /etc/network/interfaces, or networkd, and if that is the case it is our moral obligation to teach others anons the ways of doing stuff so that they don't fuck up and inderectly fucks up something affecting us. Anyways if you're going to post, be sure to point in a good direction and be constructive.
Hunter Price

Arch is very stable if you know what you are doing.

is debian really barebones? what does ubuntu do that debian doesnt? excuse my ignorance
Elijah Howard

Joseph Nguyen
I'm not sure if it does anything more per se, but I thought it fit your description better, since it seems like you already know your way around linux, and I'm pretty sure debian's netinst is pretty barebones. Maybe not as much as arch, but still pretty slim
Jackson Nguyen
>Are there any comparably bare-bones LTS distros with a package manager as simple as arch's? If you're a areally advanced Linux user, try NixOS (something a la chef or puppet), Alpine (something inbetween Gentoo and Debian) or Stali (literally plain git)

Samuel Campbell
>adhom because I don't want to waste my life spoonfeeding people ok
Christian Allen
No I mean it's not about spoonfedding it is about making others capable of doing more or at least what you can, in order to have a better society. We've seen many times where being cooperative and searching for win-win (or ad infinity win-win-...-win) scenarios are better for innovation and scope, thus generally being better in the long run. The open source software model being a clear example which requires an openness to involve and provide the resources so that more people can be able to make changes towards the community. And by failing to be constructive, you lose the purpose on the /flt/.
>notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly linux Thread...
Dominic Sanders
More or less you're saying >adhom because I don't want to waste my life spoonfeeding people When it you should be >I should care about those people that can't do what I can, in order to ultimately prevent technocracy or abuses like those within our government privacy scandals, because paradoxically those people that can't do shit are the ones that makes us unable to battle against abusive parties (or get even)

How does the network interface function on VMs? Does it touch metal or is there a layer between the host and the guest?
Just wondering if there's any point running a hardened guest on an insecure host
Wyatt Robinson
you could passthrough a usb/pci ethernet device solely for use in the VM
but the host will be capable of accessing the memory of the VM, so hardened vm on an insecure host just doesn't make sense

Hey /flt/
I'm thinking about switching to Linux. I have a 6 year old laptop and I hear Ubuntu is better for older models, it's a u400 lenovo ideapad if that makes a difference. From my understanding there is different Ubuntu builds. I am a student and wondering which would be best for browsing the web, research, writing papers, presentations and general school stuff. I found that Ubuntu has an OS just for students, but I don't want to over look any other options.
What should look into? Is it super hard to switch over to Linux, getting used to it I mean? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Cameron Moore
if this is your first time go with ubuntu MATE as it is the best ubuntu flavor
Jaxon Cooper
look into xubuntu or lubuntu for older laptops... they come with preset DMs that use much less RAM than Unity that comes with regular Ubuntu. if you don't have much ram, go with Lubuntu.
Thank you both very much. You have been very helpful. I've just read somewhere that Linux Mint is also good for ex Windows users. Thoughts ?
Camden Rogers
this is /ftl/ please use the correct thread
Nicholas Thomas
>Linux Mint is also good for ex Windows users yeah, it's great. that's actually what I use. I prefer its DM over all other ones. But it does use a bit more RAM. if you have 4GB+, try it.

Thomas Hernandez
> Thirdly, while they import packages from Ubuntu or Debian, they hi-jack package and binary names by re-using existing names. For example, they called their fork of gdm2 "mdm" which supposedly means "Mint Display Manager". However, the problem is that there already is a package "mdm" in Debian which are "Utilities for single-host parallel shell scripting". Thus, on Mint, the original "mdm" package cannot be installed. minttards will actually defend this
you're a fucking idiot. quit getting information from trolls.
Colton Garcia
Hey guys here.
I am dling Linux Mint at the moment. I have 6 gbs of ram so I decided to go with it, it only needs 4. I will switch again if it doesn't work out. Thanks for all the info guys. I will keep you updated. Also if you can think of anything I will need to install after I have Mint installed lemme know. I believe I will need Flash and some codecs from what I have read.
Jacob Gray
you can install all that stuff from a Software Manager... it has a nice GUI and you can search for what you want. If you install Chrome, it comes with Flash. You should probably just use Chrome when you need Flash and not install it system-wide.
Eli Nguyen
Thanks user!

How to fix blank screen when waking from suspend? Installed Antergos with GNOME on my X220 the other day and most things work as they should however, waking up from suspend does not.

So I'm a retarded fag and I extracted an SD card while it was being hard formatted. Now every time I try to mount it I get this shit:
>mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mmcblk0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
parted shows it has no file system. I've tried to format it with fdisk but I cannot fix it
Any advice? I obviously don't care about what was in the sd, I just want it to work.
Camden Morris
With fdisk i delete all partitions, create a new one (default linux type) and write it, and it seems to work fine. But then I try to mount it and same error

How often does Debian testing break? I'm happily using stable aside packages from the stone age.
Grayson Ortiz
Rarely, I migrated to Debian testing myself 2 years ago after a decade of using Fedora. It's been only a positive experience thus far, it took me a little while to get used to apt since I'm so used to DNF/Pacman on occasion but it's been a solid experience for me, no breakages (other than human error) to report.

Wrong. Tiling is horrible on small screens, because you'll have 4 tiny windows open. Tiling is ideal for large screens which have a lot of real estate, so you can have nicely sized windows, instead of one oversized window.

Why don't you inform yourself or think about the things before you parrot other people's stupid comments? wut, i'm saying this because i used a tiling wm on two different 800x480 display netbooks most of the time it was either 2-3 windows that didn't need much space each, or one window on its own workspace

Are you able to wipe it and create a fresh partition table? Are you opening gparted as root?

You're not even booting into arch. Take a gander at your VM settings. Change the chipset.

? There are only 2 chipset options, changing it changed nothing.

Hey guys!
I posted last night about Linux Mint and switching over etc. I have dled Mint to a USB and the guide I am using just says to reboot the computer and it will work itself out from there. It just keeps booting in Windows though. I am sure I am missing something trivial , can you guys five me some advice?
Thanks again for all the help last night and continuing with my noob questions.
Lincoln Carter
Nevermind, I think there was something wrong with the iso,. it was about 100mb smaller than it should be
Jason Edwards
you need to tell your machine to attempt to boot from the usb drive
this varies from motherboard to motherboard, and a definitive answer will be found in your motherboard's manual
however, there are common buttons, as it starts (between pressing the power button and the windows logo starting), try tapping (not just pressing once, as you won't be familiar with when is the right time) F8, F9, F11, or F12 one of these might bring up a boot menu, where you can select another drive to boot from just once, select the usb drive from here (most likely the only "USB" option in the list)

I am trying to use makepkg to build and install a package. However, while I build the package my RAM gets completely full until my computer crashes.
Is there a way to get makepkg to not use any RAM?
Camden Price
Inspect the makefile and install scripts that sounds fishy af
Hudson Nguyen
No it doesn't, it sounds like makepkg is using ramfs or tmpfs by default, which is not an unusual thing to do when compiling. Unless you have less than 4gb ram though it would be surprising for it to fail, perhaps if it is gcc or libreoffice you are compiling.
Matthew Taylor
I'm using cmake to install a different version of the package, building the package within my home directory. It's slow, but it seems to be working. I'm pretty sure it wasn't working because the package was too large.
Jacob Kelly
Which package? And how much ram? There is nothing suspicious about that happening, but it would normally only rarely happen.
That is unusual then, I've done it before on 4gb. Even if you were compiling entirely in ramfs or tmpfs that would be strange for it to fail. Are you sure if failed for that reason?
Carter Russell
That said, I've done it in funtoo and not arch so I don't know what defaults it uses for aur/makepkg, maybe check if there is a setting in the default configs for how it is compiled.
Tyler Watson

I've got Linux booted and running like a champ. Is there a way to take Windows off my computer now? Is there a point in doing that? I think I'd like to either way. Also I don't need the USB anymore right ?
Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.
Jason Kelly
>Is there a way to take Windows off my computer now? just delete its partition(s) >Is there a point in doing that? will you ever used it again? probably a good idea to leave it there until you're sure, unless you need the space it's using >Also I don't need the USB anymore right ? that's right

I've always used Firefox(switched to Palemoon when Firefox changed too much, but the point stands)
After making the transition from only using Linux at work to having Linux distros at home as well, I've had a lot of the usual media playing problems.
For example, I had to do a workaround tonight for Netflix. No big deal, but here's my question -
Should I switch to another, more mainstream browser to have in-browser support for things like Netflix? I'm over the Netflix hump, but this certainly isn't the first time I've had a problem trying to use my at-home computer browser like I would a Windows PC.
TL;DR should I switch from Pale Moon to Chrome/Opera/whatever for the sake of media? I'm using Elementary(for fun, probably switching) on one PC and Debian on the main PC I'm mostly trying to figure out what to do for.
David Price
As much as I love FF, it's total shit. It's slow, renders like shit, always has problems on tons of sites and it's not sandboxed. 2016... still not sandboxes and processes are not separated. FUcking sad.
FF, btw, is still vulnerable to a known vulnerability. Unless your'e on 49, you can be easily powned.
Just switch to "ungoogled Chromium" and be done with it.
Xavier Hall
There's literally no point to palemoon, any performance improvements are placebo.
Charles Phillips
not using it for performance, I just liked old firefox and firefox is not good any more. modified pale moon feels good and like what I have been using for most of my adult life.
>Just switch to "ungoogled Chromium" and be done with it.
Will consider. Thank you.
William Hill
Currently installing arch, which DE is best DE?
Logan Morgan
>sandbox alias firefox to /usr/bin/firejail so the whole application is sandboxed
>performace no joke, I've been running tests and their new multi-process dev edition and it blows out every single other browser for energy efficiency (saving your battery) by lowering RAM usage. It's currently the best browser you can use.
Of course plugins make the difference. With vimperator you configure Firefox using a dotfile, and setup :
1. A ssh proxy mode that also routes DNS queries set! network.proxy.socks=localhost set! network.proxy.socks_port=8888 set! network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=true command -nargs=1 proxy set! network.proxy.type=
2. Site-specific Google searches, with autocomplete for the site URL command -nargs=+ -complete=url site open google site: map s :site
FF has completely changed in the last 6 months to switch from feature bloat to performance. Building your own version, with stripped down features you will see it fly with new dev version I suggest you try it.
Per-tab sandboxing is eventually coming, plus there is Servo coming down the pipe in a year or so.
Owen Bailey
none, use a wm

hey /flt/, i accidentally removed my windows partition at some point last month, when i want to reinstall i got this, can i convert my disk somehow to gpt without losing all my data and my linux partition? i googled and it said something about booting to uefi or legacy mode or secure boot but i cant find any of this in my bios
i miss my games

: is a "nothing" function () stards the definition of it { starts the content : is a "nothing" function, calling itself | is a pipe : is a "nothing" function, calling itself, because piped from previous : & sets a command into the background, so the system will not wait until : is finished } ends the content ; indicates the end of a command in one-line mode : calls the "nothin" function.
or: faggot() { faggot | faggot & } faggot
You see, the faggot faggot calls 2 other faggots and himself. Ever time the faggot does that, he multiplicates himself twice.
But why is that bad? Imagine a macfag gangbang at starbucks and they are banging and banging and reproding themselves as fast as they can. After a while there are too many faggots and the house explodes. That's basically what happens to your machine.
