I said post to login, not post to desktop. Unless the desktop and the login manager are integrated (like GDM), the desktop won't have any effect on that wait time. However the buttload of services both of the distros you mentioned enable by default have a great deal of effect and are all notorious for being painfully slow to load. Maybe next time you'll know the answer.
Ryan Ramirez
Same, if you have services behind, and libraries as dependencies, they must be loaded BEFORE login.
1) Install Arch 2) Install a DE 3) Install a minimal LM
There, post to fuckoff in 1 seconds
Blake Reed
I'm not sure if Arch satisfies the "complete" clause of the requirements, and I'll laugh if you think it satisfies the "competent".
Debian makes for a lean mean computing machine, if you can deal with day old buns.
not a bad idea, but I think it would be too much work to make this happen.

ifconfig says my ethernet connection is up and running receiving/sending packets without loss yet when i try to ping google dns it says network unreachable, when trying to ping a local address or just literally anything including 127.0.0.0 i get the same errors, whats the problem how can i fix it?

Do you have openssh-server installed? Is sftp enabled in config? Can you do a portscan with "nmap"?
It looks like to me that the computers just block the ICMP request. Also, are you sure they are on the same network?
UFW can also mess up: sudo ufw disable
Then try again.
Charles Campbell
Set your dns. Try adding this to /etc/resolve.conf nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4
That will probably get overwritten automatically so look for how to set this permanently on your distro.
Adrian Bailey
Did you open the ports your ssh server is running?
Andrew Nguyen
already did that while installing, it should be the default
Isaiah Miller
not everyone uses ufw
but he might as well install it
Ryan Russell
>it should be the default Well check. There's no room for 'should'.
Ryan Harris
Even if he installs it, it will not be enabled. And since it's got blocked my guess was ufw. iptables is never set up by default.

Kayden Rivera

You have some bigger problems. Your network config is messed up.
Do you have them connected by a direct cable? Are they on a router?
If you are on a cable, do you use a DIFFERENT IP subnet than your OTHER network?
Like... Router + Internet: 192.168.0.1 Local direct cable: 192.168.1.1
Because if it was correctly set up, and you use d a router, it should be like: 192.168.1.1 Destination unreachable
Angel Scott
>diagnosing no ssh server when the problem is no connectivity
How are the computers connected? By wifi (via a router) or directly?
Juan Bailey
>Do you have them connected by a direct cable? no >Are they on a router? yes

Do I need a theme for wine or something. I don't mind the win95 look but selecting sections in sketchup doesn't use transparency and makes it's difficult to determine what's what in the model.

Not him, but do nmap 192.168.1.0/24 Does it find anything? Like, say, your router? Also, your router could possibly be the culprit. Can you access other devices with any other device? Just install nginx on one of the Linux boxes and try accessing the local IP (192.168.1.73) via wifi, see if the default page pops up. Or use Network Scanner or something on your phone.

Have fun user, I'm sure it's just some magical reason that it's not working for you, I'm sure you have set up everything correctly.
Hudson Wood
Okay, assuming you're doing this over wifi, check the output of ifconfig on the server. Specifically the wireless cards ip address. It may have changed since you started this mess.
Jaxon Morales
.bashrc for path, exports, etc .bash_aliases for aliases .bash_func for functions And so on.
That may seem like a lot of files, and a bit unnecessary, but when you need to adjust an alias or function, you're not digging through your whole .bashrc for them. I've had a lot of success with this method.
But then again, I'm very anal. My .Xresources has an include line pointing to a file in ~/.etc/colors that contains my terminal colors and I wrote a small script that scans that dir for any files ending in .Xcolors so I can change my terminal colors by typing "setclr " and the script uses sed to replace the filename in my .Xresources

Cred Forums, I`m planning on switching from Windows, and I`ve been trying some distros out. I`ve tried Kubuntu earlier, but disliked the Windows 10-y start menu, and the graphic effects were really glitchy (not sure if that`s my machine or me running on usb drive).
Now I`m running Xubuntu, which I have used in the past, and it`s running smooth so far. Only thing I want to change is the file manager, because Thunar sucks so much. I have tried installing Dolphin (because it looks neato) but I get a fuckload of Qt-related errors, like missing icons and QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2 QPainter::setCompositionMode: Painter not active QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap

Anthony Flores
Is it possible on Arch to have some packages update through Arch Build System instead of downloading a precompiled package?
So you would still update the repos to find out if there are updates, but don't actually download those updated package (if you don't want) but instead get a PKGBUILD file and build the package yourself.
It would be useful for me to have this for certain packages, but doing so by hand can get annoying.
>inb4 literally install gentoo no, that's not what this is about.
Asher Murphy
What's the point of asking such retarded questions? Do you just want an answer that you can parrot in the future to appear smart? Because you obviously aren't going to use it, nor are you smart enough to look up what defines Gentoo and what it is. You just want someone to tell you what to think and to later keep spreading that cringe-worthy wrong information, to appear knowledgable and like a l33t hacker who knows his GNU/Linux distributions. Kill yourself.
Lucas Jones
I'd say no because when you install something from the abs, it's a local installation and not part of a repository that's being kept track of.
Asher Cooper
Is it even possible to log out from the terminal? When I type logout it tells me to type exit instead, but exit just closes the terminal
Samuel Nelson
Surely that's just a flag somewhere in the pacman database?
Weirdly enough, I just installed mpv from ABS and it doesn't show up in pacman -Qm, while all AUR packages are there. So I don't think you're 100% correct.
Josiah Gutierrez
some of you guys use ROS? Im in the second semester of my masters in EE in robotics, and im willing to work in there. I work almost everyday in osx, win8,1 and kubuntu but im illiterate in any advanced skill in gnu. Any observation?
Jose Rogers
You can only log out after you logged in
Oliver Mitchell
Maybe it just compares the package's name to that in the database. That means on the next update, you'll probably get the new version from the repository and not your custom one.
Gabriel Hernandez
You need to learn the difference between your terminal emulator and your shell. Look that up and then you'll see what's happening. Hint: it is possible to log out from your shell. Your terminal emulator most likely closes when that happens.

Bentley Smith
It is possible to use ABS to produce own packages and keep them in sync with remote repositories. sudo repo-add / repo-remove
Jacob Price
Installing Arch. Few questions.
I understand the basic difference between BIOS and UEFI, but what exactly is the benefit to UEFI? If I want to later add another HD and dual boot Windows 7, does UEFI stop me from being able to do that?
Does EPI partition need to be in FAT32? And is ext2/3/4 recommended for primary partition? Or can it all be FAT32 or NTFS?
Also for later: desktops on Arch. Any recommendations for something light weight and low level?
Matthew Baker
They have this in a dual boot config with Win 7 on our lab computers at school. Seems alright from what I can tell, not much experience with anything "linux" besides Ubuntu though.

Someone has a tantrum about a project next thing you know it's forked 20 times.
Then the big named distros don't even actively try to get new users.

>trying out KDE Plasma >decide to uninstall VLC using Discover >Doing so, it completely uninstalls KDE with no warning at all wow.
I did find out that VLC is indeed considered a dependency of KDE and that if you use "apt-get remove VLC" instead it shows before you confirm this decision that it's going to uninstall the entire desktop environment, but this is absolutely absurd.
Thomas Cox
If you have your music folder set out "Artist - Album Name" or similar, mpc ls | grep "Album Name" | mpc add
will add the album to the current playlist.
Or after reading the manual, mpc search album "album name" | mpc add
might be easier.

Carter Gomez
It's bretty comfy desu
Jack Richardson
Various reasons, namely wanting it to have more memory for firefox and krita to gobble up and finding the idea of setting up my own enviornment like that interesting. I notice this since KDE has so much stuff I have no interest in using either as dependencies or built into the system. I cant imagine why not. It doesn't seem like the differences between fedora, ubuntu, debian, suse, whatever will affect a new user that much. Just remember that if the UI grosses you out you can use a different desktop enviornment. If the repos dont have enough software try antergos or something. KDE felt pretty comfy and familiar coming from windows, for me.
Ryan Gray
router
Adrian Clark
How much memory do you have that firefox memory hogging is an issue? I'm asking because I'm using openbox currently and enjoyed setting up all of my own stuff, but tried KDE out this weekend and really liked it and I'm contemplating moving over to it as my daily driver. Basically the inverse of you.

Carter Smith
8 gigabytes but I Leave a bunch of tabs up then start krita while its still up because Im just doing it in between class and dont bother trying to do anything efficiently. Honestly the conceptual idea of not wanting all the stuff I have no interest in is more significant. I absolutely do like the general interface of KDE. I just want to have something like it, but without the bits I have no interest in ever touching.
Colton Morales

Hudson Howard
>What's the best QoS setting in the Linux kernel >in the Linux kernel i'm recompiling it
Anthony Lee
Your point being? If your router does not suport what you are hard compiling, you're doing it wrong. Your router will take care of this by its self, throttling/shaping by its self, on the routers level, not on a clients level.
Your router is all you need to configure
Jeremiah Diaz
Cred Forums i think i fucked up i plugged a usb drive and used mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt after i was done with the usb i typed umount /mnt now i can't startx, and i think these 2 things are related did i fuck up my computer? any way to fix it?
I'm not compiling it to the router. The link between my laptop and the router is slow, and I need to prioritize packets that are sent over somehow (QoS). The Linux kernel has QoS modules that do this, and I want to know which one is the best one. No computer has to be plugged into my computer for the QoS to work, because it can prioritize packets made from processes, right?

>Cred Forums, I`m planning on switching from Windows, and I've been trying some distros out.
Switching usually isn't efficient if you require (as opposed to want) apps Wine will not run, and that's a lot of apps.
I have a few Windows VMs for that shit and Xubuntu makes a fine host. I install KDE apps with no problem. I'm doing a Xubuntu install right now on another machine, also no problem.
Sebastian Howard
It's getting there, the LTS release will be pretty solid by the looks how to things are shaping up.
Tyler Martin
Install it in a VM.
Many distro questions are answered by installing in VMs (piss on dual-booting except for very specific hardware interface needs).

It's making plenty of headway in places other than luser desktops, and it's making plenty of headway on Chromebooks.
Windows is good enough for average users. So is an Android phone which replaced PCs for many people.

Please avoid using the term “google” as a verb, meaning to search for something on the internet. “Google” is just the name of one particular search engine among others. We suggest to use the term “search the web” or (in some contexts) just “search”. Try to use a search engine that respects your privacy.

Try searx.me, gives you source code and your can configure your results (get from google, duckduck, whatever).

Samuel Davis
On Linux you have 3 clipboards. PRIMARY, SECONDARY and CLIPBOARD The last one is the "normal" clipboard. Primary holds everything you select, pastable with middle mouse, while not deleting what you have in CLIPBOARD. Secondary is a scary, never activate it or creepy things will happen.

Xavier Roberts
What DM is that? Looks great
Benjamin Long
I need some help senpais.
I installed linux and I had no clue about systemd back then. I would notice that sometimes my settings would be lost after some updated and I basically did the same thing as before and it would work until some update would fuck it up. I finally figured out that you're not suppose to fuck with some systemd default config files and have to install them somehow else.
DM? I'm new to linux so you are confusing me I don't see a DM. Or do I just not know what a DM is?
Elijah Moore
I think you mean DE, and there is none there, looks like just riced up i3.
Jordan Fisher
a DM is a display manager, aka a graphical login screen

Literally why the fuck is Linux so hard to use.

I installed i3 wm but whenever I try to use the commands none of them work.
I did manage to get the dmenu to work, but that's about it.
How do I get the rest of the commands to work?
Wyatt Butler
I didn't just start. I've been using it for maybe 2-3 years. I guess I haven't quite gotten used to ripping my hair out
Christopher Hall

Maybe this isn't for you, and you should stick to gmail and the like.

either way, mail servers aren't easy not linux's fault, though

Sebastian Bell
This is sorta dumb, but I always liked the backgrounds linux mint cinnamon provided, so I was wondering if there is any way to make them available on manjaro kde?
Gavin Jackson
either find the package with the backgrounds in their repos or install it on a VM and extract the images manually.
ended up doing the latter with fedora 23, because I was jumping ship but liked a couple of its wallpapers, but was too lazy to even look for it elsewhere.
Email server is actually pretty hard task. Have you been following and up to date thorough wiki?

Don't want to wait for the 386th line either

Eli Edwards
It's actually on the 59th line in the man page and on the 13th line in the "help" text. Either way, if it takes you that long to find that flag and its meaning inside a nicely structured man page or "help" output, then you have way bigger problems.
Jayden Foster
man grep press / type -i
Jason Edwards
Hover over it for the tooltip.
Cooper Rodriguez
What happens when I want to know the content of the 386th line?
That works if I already know what -i does..
Asher Price
Wait, how does that solve the "building packages by hand is annoying" problem? I got the repo with my built package, I installed that package from my repo, and what now? I just tested it, and if that package updates in the official repo, then pacman is just going to install it from that the repo without even telling me it switched repos. So, as I see it, having my own repo in this situation doesn't change absolutely anything.
Jason Torres
>That works if I already know what -i does..
you open the man page and search for -i to find out what it does....
Liam Brown
>What happens when I want to know the content of the 386th line?
Why would you want such a specific thing? I don't see how that's related to your claim that "man pages are memes", but here:
>That works if I already know what -i does.. That makes absolutely no sense.
Gabriel Long
>having my own repo in this situation doesn't change absolutely anything. Putting a repository first in pacman's config file makes it use packages from that one instead. No idea how that can help you out in that situation though.

Yep, that helped. But it is indeed pretty worthless to me.
I think I'll try building the package with a pre-hook. So that it's already in the /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ by the time pacman wants to download it. Not much hope that it will work, but we'll see.

iv bought an openvz vps, and one of the available gnulinux distributions are gentoo, I want to use it because it is a bleeding edge distro. I've tried to, but I ran into many problems, the first of them is that portage version is too old, when i try to update it, I get this error message: "error unsupported eapi 5"
