What's there to "handle"? Bad network connectivity makes it fail so you can't use it over internet or Wi-Fi or other semi-broken links.

Do I have to worry about anything when encrypting an SSD with SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) capabilities or do I just cryptsetup like normal if I don't want to use the vendor backdoor?
I'm assuming that this self-encryption isn't running on the background by default if I just use LUKS and don't activate the feature. That would mean encrypting the data twice, causing a slowdown right?
Maybe I'm missing something.

Hardware encryption is transparent and takes place regardless.

This isn't even a Linux question, the drives are designed for that, they have chips and stuff.
When you make the device do a "secure erase" it will lose the keys. None of this is visible to the OS.

LUKS is a Linux thing, something that happens inside the OS while Secure Erase is a hardware feature.

Hi /g/. I don't post often but browse often. I'm deep in the thinkpad, thigh-high libreboot pipeline and having picked up gentoo a few months after migrating my laptop to a desktop and doing a fresh install on my laptop. I only recently came across portage patches. I learned programming from modding videogames so this blew my mind but I find available patches to plug into stuff few and far between.
I know they're not as powerful as say transpiling on unity games but tweaking around cmus to integrate with git was exceedingly easy and didn't break after last update.
I would like to know if there's actually a repo of user patches around which don't get PR'ed for whatever reason.
I figure maintaining a scraphead of disparate software isn't great especially at compile time but that doesn't seem too different from packages configuring their source through use flags

>>
>>102238747
Menuconfig requires Ncurses which of course you have installed but they were probably thinking about a minimal environment where you might not have it or just trying to minimise dependencies, etc.

There's no real reason to compile your own kernel though unless you're optimising it somehow (e.g building with -O3 or native optimisations for your CPU) or enabling features not found in the binary kernel.

Just
emerge gentoo-kernel-bin

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin
>>
>>102239266
Actually it's the other way round. Nconfig requires Ncurses, menuconfig doesn't.

I don't know why they handbook uses that then. Probably personal preference.

The kernel even has GTK and Qt config programs too not that I know of a single person that uses them.
>>
>>102239286
>>102239266
What I'm saying is that the handbook used to recommend menuconfig but it switched up in the last months. Nconfig is also a pain in the ass to navigate.
>>
>>102239303
The handbook is just a general guide anyway. It's not gospel, you're not supposed to follow it exactly.

Are there already compiled kernels for gentoo? I tried doing a binary focused install because my laptop can't handle compilation of complex programs but once I reached the 'Configuring the Linux Kernel' part of the guide it start compiling it anyway even though I set the proper flags to prioritize binaries whenever possible and only fallback to compilation when there's no alternative.

Why is linux driver support such a fucking mess with old NVIDIA hardware? With Wayland Nouveau (470.xx drivers unavailable with Wayland), I cannot even play a 1080p video on 2x playback speed without skipping frames. On X11, the screen tears a lot, randomly.

So this thing actually built a kernel successfully using a musl based stage3 tarball but now I find that random packages simply don't support musl C lib.

so how's your experience with ntfs3 driver? i've tried using it for windows shared vmware vhd storage and it freezes the system every time the vm shuts down just like ntfs-3g. free paragon ufsd is pretty flawless but it only supports kernel 5.15.

What motherboard? If it has an Intel 2.5G ethernet controller (I225-V/I226-V), those are known to have reliability issues. The Realtek 2.5G controller (RTL8125BG) is more reliable but sometimes also fail. 2.5G in general is a clusterfuck.

>void is a better musl desktop distro since they actually put some effort into packaging stuff for it
no it isnt, alpine is
void is stuck on an outdated version of musl that they constantly have to backport fixes to because their package manager is broken and cannot support upgrading musl for 32bit arm without everything breaking

>musl is really for static linking small programs and for use on containers with Alpine.
no it isnt
musl is just an alternative c library
people use it for making docker containers with alpine because the footprint and filesize is smaller despite there being a performance loss, that's all
musl is also more hardened out of the box than glibc is

I wanted something more lightweight but that's still usable. I'm not ditching Firefox anytime soon but wanted to see how well Pale moon runs on old hardware. It doesn't compile anyway though. There's a bunch of C++17 deprecation warnings so maybe I need to add -std=cxx17 to CXXFLAGS?

>>102241314
The community drivers aren't a meme, it's the only way to get good support on old hardware because Nvidia has abandoned them.
>>102240989
The reason it's so bad is because older hardware doesn't have re-clocking support so the GPU runs at stock clock speeds. It likely never will either because although the Nouveau developers know how to do it, they can't do it because it relies on extracting firmware out of the proprietary driver which is legally dubious. Nvidia released firmware for newer cards but has completely abandoned its legacy user base.

Hey, I think I'm having memory leak problems with some of my vidyagames, namely Starsector and Total War Warhammer 3. They mainly happen when I have the games alt-tabbed, and my PC slows to a crawl to the point where the game just force closes or I have to restart it.

I think I'm gonna do it, I think it's time to leave windows behind once and for all.
I tried a few distros over the years, ubuntu, arch, manjaro and ultimately I am using endeavor OS on my laptop as the main OS for over a year now. (Windows is still in dualboot but I don't really use it).
Now I'm wondering if I fully leave windows behind, do I want to go with endeavor OS because it's familiar and has served me well, or Debian, because from what I know it's more stable?
I'd rather not my workstation and main Pc has issues and gets fucked, at the same time my endeavor install never had issues.
What would you anons recommend?
>>
>>102246530
Debian is NOT a great 1st time distro. If you dig through the lengthy install guide it is possible but I cannot recommend it for a 1st distro. Right out of the gate you need to know which version of MANY iso's to download AND be familiar with differences between free and non-free.
>>
>>102246567
I would go for Debian for stability and if needed, use Flatpaks or Snaps for up to date software.

Is there an LC_COLLATE value that does natural sort on numbers? I have a program that lists directory entries using natural sort, but my other programs list using C locale or something instead, and it's annoying to try and cross reference the lists. I'm hoping that there's a way I can just change an env var when the latter programs start, so that the underlying C functions (e.g. scandir) just smoothly switch to the natural sort functionality. For what I'm describing:
>regular sort
1.ext
10.ext
11.ext
2.ext
21.ext
>natural sort
1.ext
2.ext
10.ext

If you've been using endeavor for a year and have no problems with it, there's no need to switch. Don't fix what ain't broke.

Well I will have to install it either way since endeavor is on my laptop, not my PC, so it's less of a fix and more of a new start. But the fact that it never broke on me is tempting.
>>
>>102246592
>Right out of the gate you need to know which version of MANY iso's to download
That's no longer true since Debian 12. You can just download any of them and they all have the firmware for hardware installed on the .iso image.

You only run into problems if your hardware isn't supported by the version of Linux that they use but that applies to any distro. This is why rolling releases are king. An up-to-date kernel on installation media that's generated monthly (or more frequently) ensures the best compatibility. The only exception is if you need a shitty proprietary driver.
>>
>>102246737
>install it either way
Right, but you won't have to adapt to a new OS. Debian will do many small things differently than endeavor, and you'll have to gradually learn them all. Some things you might like, some you won't, but why risk it if you like what you know? You already said that you don't want your PC to have issues, although it's unlikely to have anything serious go wrong.
If you're really indecisive, you can install Debian and see how you like it. Swap it out for endeavor if you don't.

Do you know any good directory hierarchy convention for organizing personal files? Most popular OSes have something like pic related as default but besides disposable downloads directory it doesn't feel right, like having audio/image/video directory feels kind of pointless since file extension already tells you that so you can easily filter for that with find/grep

ive got a proxmox server build on an intel nuc that lost power a lil bit ago and ever since then its been unaccessible
finally got around to giving it a monitor/keyboard again (its usually headless) and its been booting up into emergency mode this entire time

from what i can gather im only getting two hard errors via journalctl -xb
1 being about an external media drive i usually have mounted to it that fails to mount, and the 2nd being xfs: unknown parameter 'errors'
the external drive is formatted in xfs, so im leaning into this being the root cause of the failure to boot properly

typing systemctl default as it recommends in the emergency screen gives the same xfs error and rekicks me back into emergency mode
any ideas as to where to poke around in?
>>
>>102247100
The way I do it is I have one /data/ folder in which all personal files that aren't managed by the OS from programs etc go.
In there I have simple rules:
- No folder within the top n levels that I create can have more than 10 subfolders. If I need more, we go a level deeper, less is always good
- each folder starts with a number and then the name.

So top level I have stuff like "01 - Official","02 - Backups","03 - Media", "04 - Projects".
Then as an example for "03 - Media" I have subfolders like "01 - Video", "02 - Audio", "03 - Images", "04 - Text" etc.
This way if I need to navigate in the terminal it's as simple as typing the beginning numbers and pressing tab to autocomplete, so locations become numbers in a way. If I want to open my movies, that's simply 03/01/01, which stands for "/data/03 - Media/01 - Video/01 - Movies"/.

Once you go down to the lower levels I loosen the restrictions on numbers and the amount of subfolders, so for example a git project will just be a normal git project with its subfolders, but I like it for the top levels, I think my top 3-4 levels follow those rules pretty much.
I quite like that structure desu.

Even with 12 that's not true for a newbs first distro. It is true if you're already familiar with the Debian iso list and know what to look for. It's getting better but it's still not a good recommendation for babies first distro.

i.e this big motherfucking thing. There's also live images if you want that instead of the net install but the net install should work if you're hardware is supported. If it doesn't work then that's a sign that your hardware is too new for Debian or requires proprietary shit and you should use a different distro.
>>
>>102247449
>There's also live images if you want that instead of the net install
Thanks for making my point for me. Debian hasn't stupid proofed their downloads ENOUGH for newbs yet. As I said earlier, it's getting better but it's not a good recommendation for babies first distro.
The big black button is for net install only. So, while are currently dealing with me there is also a newb on here having problems with the net install. Instead of telling me how easy it is for you (experienced Linux users) you should put yourself in the newbs shoes and you might realize installing Debian (yes, even 12!) is a whole lot different than anything else that newb has ever installed.
I'll say it again, Debian is improving it's installation process. But it is NOT a good recommendation for babies first linux.
>>
>>102247580
There's nothing complicated about the net-install. They make the live images for people that want to try out GNOME or KDE. You don't need a desktop to install Debian.
>>
>>102247591
>>102247580
The reason they're having problems is because of their hardware by the way.

You can't really do fuck all about that. They should use a different distro. An experienced user like me could manually install Debian with debootstrap and a mainline kernel and whatever shitty proprietary drivers they need but by default Debian's just not going to work out for them.
>>
>>102247591

You do know there are people interested in trying Linux distro's that have NO idea what a live disc is, right? They are fucking NEW!
They hear (read) about linux, maybe they watch some vids about Linux. They have a tiny bit of the vocabulary but zero knowledge on making a live ISO or even making ISO media. This is all new to them. No one was born with that knowledge. If you have forgot hat it was like the first couple times you did an install then I suggest you at the very least stop repeating "it isn't that complicated". The first time, it's their first time! They're being asked questions during the install that sound like a foriegn language.

>>102247815
It was from a time when people weren't idiots.
>>102247819
It should support wireless too.

The only time their installer won't work is if you hardware isn't compatible with Debian in which case you just can't use it. The installer isn't broken, it's not complicated, you click a few buttons and have a working install providing your hardware is compatible.

People coming over from Windows often forget that sometimes their hardware was built for Windows in mind and the manufacturer provides crap support for Linux. Debian can't really do anything about that. They ship a very specific distribution kernel, they include the firmware along with it, it either works or it doesn't.
>>
>>102247810

Those people have an interest in Linux. They end up here being told "it isn't complicated". Now, I like the filter, ok, but some of them would actually benefit from the Linux learning curve. The rest of them can stay on Twitter and amazon.

You literally buy something with Intel hardware (AMD is acceptable for the GPU) and it all works. I sympathise with people buying the wrong hardware, I was there myself in the past when trying to run Linux on a Macbook and having to deal with the shitty Broadcom wireless. That wasn't Debian's fault though, my hardware just had bad support for Linux.

You wouldn't try to use a piece of hardware designed for Windows on macOS and then blame Apple. The same should be true of Linux. People often just expect things to work without any thought put into why it doesn't.

>>102247896

you're making my point for me again.
So there are things a person needs to know going in, because there are some problems that might pop up. Making it, maybe, a little ... complicated ... for a newb?
>>
>>102248029
Well that depends on their hardware. Somebody with Intel hardware is going to have a vastly different experience to somebody having to deal with shit support from Broadcom or Realtek.

One newb as a flawless experience, the other newb gets frustrated because they're hardware has poor Linux support. The distribution can't do anything to make their life easier, they already did their part by shipping Linux and firmware for the devices that do support Linux well. The ball is firmly in the court of those manufacturers.

my problem with endeavour is that as you won't know where endeavour ends and arch begins. you won't know if you're having an endeavour os issue or an arch issue when problems arise. it's really trivial to get arch up and running with your preferred desktop and you'll have a smoother experience going forward than you will using something downstream.

I meant userspace, that's a typo. Network interface that does not require root permissions.

Redirect them all to different files and use tail to combine the output more or less in the order it's written.

how do i get the file roller window to be styled the same as all my other windows like the file manager is on the right? xfce

you don't. stop using GTK apps.

i switched to fedora kde spin several months ago and i recently ran out of disk space on my 2tb ssd from installing too many steam games. i uninstalled all of them but the file manager isn't updating and still says the disk is full even though qdirstat says i only have like ~250gb of shit installed now. how do i make the free space update? i read that some process could be holding the deleted files open so i restarted and it still didn't fix it

For some reason 4chan's Cloudflare Turnstile thing always fails on my Raspberry Pi with 1 gig of RAM. Fucking bullshit. I have the latest version of Firefox and it still doesn't work.

Maybe Cloudflare is thinking "no way does a computer in 2024 have just 1 gig of RAM, this must be a bot"
>>
>>102255669
deleting the snapshots freed up like 300gb. then i went to take a shower and it fixed itself somehow i guess since it says 1.5tb free now
>>
>>102254583
That's a feature not a bug, differentiation
>>
>>102255877
It fails randomly when I have my VPN on or use Firefox Nightly on my Android phone too. It's just the usual Cloudflare bullshit. It's quite scary when you think about just how much of the Internet they control and can lock you out of.

Are Nix and Guix hard to use for non-programmers? I've been on Linux for a few years but I've never tried them.

Not difficult, just annoying to use. Unless you subscribe to their philosophy simple tasks become a meal.

Flex does not include Android apps. As for printers, it will likely work but you should test in a live environment first. I think that multiple screens work as long as you have the hardware.

If that File Roller version was compiled with Libadwaita you can't, that ugly aspect is hardcoded. Your best bet is switching to something like Engrampa, PeaZip or Ark, or just don't pay it attention.

I'm currently on windows and I have 4 Hard drives:
1 TB SSD for OS
2*1 TB SSD for "gaming", partitioned as one drive
4 TB HDD for data.

The plan is to switch over to linux finally, but I want to make sure I don't lose my data if I fuck something up.
The plan is:
- Have 1 TB SSD still for OS and programs
- Have the 4 TB HDD mounted as the /home/ folder, for my data

I'll probably try out installing a few games on linux, but probably far less than I have installed now, so if I create a partition with one 1 TB SSD for games and mount it as /games/ or some shit, is there a way if I decide I need the other 1 TB SSD capacity too later, to "add" it to the partition without having to reformat? And if I do that, normally if in a partition over 2 drives one drive fails, all data gets corrupted. Is there a way to make it so if something breaks only the data on that drive is lost? Is that even worth it? On the one hand it seems good policy, on the other if a normal partition over 2 drives has faster read/write speeds that may be worth it, because it's just games, I can always redownload those.

Thanks anons.

>>102257658
There were already patches in Buildroot for some time. The fact that this is necessary in the first place is an indictment against Systemd though. They don't care about portability and don't want these patches upstream either. They're Glibc developers.

Anyone using Systemd on Musl libc will be stuck maintaining these patches forever.

So. Is this the current year wpa_supplicant? Which one does "Network Manager" use?
Is hostapd still what I want to use for an access point?

>>102257803
NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant by default but if you install iwd and create a file to point NM towards it it'll use iwd instead.
And yes, iwd is a more modern/performant wireless net solution.
>>
>>102257803
>Which one does "Network Manager" use?
Wpa_supplicant but it's a single config file change to get it to use iwd instead:
>
$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/iwd.conf
[device]
wifi.backend=iwd
wifi.iwd.autoconnect=yes

My mint linux apparently has java runting 55.0 but this jar wants 62.0, are there newer versions available? when I do `apt list |grep jdk` there's a ton of stuff there but I don't know what to specifically install without breaking anything

Ubuntu breaks when you remove stuff. You can always keep adding.

Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.9.12-3-MANJARO (64-bit)
