Well I've gone back to messing with Docker

I'm using a named volume for the database part, as is recommended by almost any guide or example I could find. Is it me or whenever I rebuild or even so much as do `docker-compose down`, even without that -v flag, I lose the database and it seems a new one is made? That's what it looks like when I go into that container and list the databases from there. Or maybe it's because I'm using a "third-party" image for the MySQL part (tommi2day/mysql4) which apparently mounts the database at /db in the container.

In light of this, I'm less sure how to safely upgrade anything here.

Konsole had this cool feature where you could look up in the bash history by pressing up. For example, if I typed sudo, went back a character and pressed up, it would show all previous commands that began with sudo.
Anyone knows the name of this feature? I think I disabled it, lol.

>>102542344
Did your distro default to zsh and you changed it to bash or something?

>>102542368
It's a fresh install, but I've been playing around with some commands.

>>102542074
After a certain amount of time using Docker, eventually you realise that volumes are trash. Use bind-mounts and mount them at the right directory (e.g /var/lib/mysql, etc)

>>102542344
Install Fzf with the Bash and Zsh, etc, completions. It's a million times better than whatever Bash does built-in.

In my case I can type sudo and then Ctrl + r and it'll show all of my history results beginning with sudo. I can't remember if that's stock configuration or something I did.

>>102542344
yeah i don't think that's stock bash. do this though >>102542509

>>102543475
Convert it however you'd normally do that. Start an ephemeral container if you need to e.g:

# Stop db to convert it
docker stop mysql
# docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash -v ./data:/var/lib/mysql mysql

Now you're in a Bash shell and can do whatever it is you need to.

I've been getting into radio with an SDR and some programs (js8call, ft8) need the audio feed from the radio to work, I can set the input in js8call as the monitor of the SDR however it's a little tiresome having constant radio static playing in my ears. Can I pipe the audio from the SDR to js8call without actually needing to hear it? On Windows you have to install a virtual audio cable program but I'm fairly sure I can do this without installing anything on Linux, I'm not opposed to installing something to make it easier though.

Does this mean fs would not be writable/mountable on kernel < 5.10, or it means that if I were to, say, update the fs and then downgrade the kernel from 6.10 to 6.6 LTS I would be fucked?

>>102545219
If it's accessing the device nodes directly, no, that's never going to work. If it goes through libALSA then that with work because PipeWire implements a plugin for ALSA.

PulseAudio had a command for this but I don't know if PipeWire has an equivalent:

>>102545291
If you're using PipeWire then something like QJack or PWGraph or Helium, etc, should do the trick.

I like QJack (even though it's built for JACK it still works with PipeWire) because it implements session support so you can make it do the connection automatically.

Maybe there's something better though?

>>102545469
>>102545459
Another words. You can't have both desktop audio via PipeWire and direct access through ALSA at the same time. Only one application can work on your sound card at a time.

I don't know why you went on a rant about AI when you could have just read what I wrote.

>>102545431
Thanks anon, I'll check them out.

>>102545384
Sounds like a complete hack. The thing about WASAPI on Windows is that it just works without messing with services. As soon as you stop playing audio, mixing is available again.
You can get something similar on Linux by defaulting to dmix: and overriding with hw: for exclusive access. This is obviously not ideal.

>>102545561
That's how pasuspender worked with PulseAudio. It sounds like we need a pwsuspender. It might be worth filing a bug for that.

>>102545654
The software he's talking about it very retarded audio software that wants to assume full control over the sound card.

>"It's special"
There's zero reason for most desktop software to do this. Desktop oriented software can just the APIs offered by the sound server (i.e PipeWire's native API or JACK or Pulse or libALSA without assuming exclusive control over the sound card)

>>102545561
>>102545575
For what it's worth, as long as one makes sure to manually suspend all audio playback, Pipewire and ALSA can coexist without service interruptions.
This is definitely not reliable. If some program pings you at the wrong moment, you're going to get a device busy error.

>>102545701
>Pulse
You already explained the problem.

>>102545756
PW implements the Pulse API too, the server isn't really relevant here.

>>102545764
Bloat. Pure pipewire or bust.

>>102545756
It could also use ALSA or Jack for apps that use ASIO (https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio)

>>102545771
I agree but the PipeWire devs don't want people implementing support for the PipeWire API natively, which is a bit annoying. They encourage developers to keep targeting PulseAudio, JACK or ALSA.

>>102545771
>Bloat.
PipeWire uses like 4x more memory than PulseAudio.

>>102545805
That's because it does audio properly which means dynamic buffers, which means sometimes it may size them larger than PulseAudio would do.

>PipeWire uses like 4x more memory than PulseAudio.

You are mixing up kernels and GRUB EFI executable.
GRUB loads kernels and on kernel updates new GRUB entry gets added. The GRUB executable itself stays by the same name - \\EFI\whatever\grubx64.efi or whatever your distro decided.

I mostly use linux mint for my secondary PCs, mainly since it just works with them being wireless instead of wired. I do want to get into more complex versions of Linux and Unix, but many of them don't have the desktop environment preinstalled with the iso or wifi support. So do I have to get a good network cable during setup or is there a way to set up an iso with certain things I need for it to work overall?

>>102547784
just connect to your wifi...

>>102547807
I don't think some of them detect the wificard, sometimes it's hard to tell since the monitor I use for linux stuff doesn't show the edges of the screen which makes it more annoying to read the terminal at times.

I USB tethered my Android phone to do a netinstall. No issue. Was minimal Debian onto which I installed the fundamentals to make a desktop environment.

But the installer media does have firmware and wifi tools. And that means you can install those missing pieces into your target installation.
In most neckbeard installer scenarios you are in a chroot of your to-be install doing all sorts of configuring anyway.

I have no idea wtf caused this, I switched between git branches without committing my changes.

Is it possibly a hardware error? if so, what do I need to prove it to submit a warranty claim?

>>102550615
Hardware error most likely, RAM or storage.

You can try and mount the partitions directly, it might be some weird permissions issue.
In a terminal try

mkdir ~/testFolder (this just makes a basic empty folder)
ls /dev/nvme0n1* (this will show the drive and partitions which will be named /dev/nvme0n1p1, /dev/nvme0n1p2, /dev/nvme0n1p3 etc.)

Then for each of the files ending in p1, p2, etc. try

sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 ~/testFolder

That will either error or mount the drive in your test folder. You might wind up mounting a system partition instead of your data, so if you open the folder and it's just got a bunch of weird system stuff unmount it and try the next partition.

sudo umount ~/testFolder
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 ~/testFolder

Hopefully one of those mounts without errors and you'll be able to see your data. If none of them work try googling "fsck filesystem repair" and give that a go.

>>102550911
>If none of them work try googling "fsck filesystem repair" and give that a go.

yeah but does that risk data loss? I'm not above buying a new drive. Been looking for an excuse to get a 4tb drive honestly.

right now I'm thinking about installing this garbage: https://www.lsoft.net/disk-editor/index.html Someone on a random forum seemed to have good luck with it.

>>102550911
also, tried that with the ls /dev/nvme0n1*, it didn't list any partitions. Trying to mount got me this error.

It seems like libreoffice launches with xwayland since X icon appears for a second, so how do I force it to launch in wayland? also what a better way of checking if a program is running in XW

>>102551161
xeyes

>>102550995
The mount and umount part is safe. The fsck would be riskier, I've had it solve things but I'm always suspicious of it as well.

The base nvme0n1 would normally be the physical drive itself then you'd mount the partitions, but that error message seems to indicate it's mountable itself.
If you have a windows machine around you may want to try that chkdsk /f and reboot that the error mentioned.

Also if you want, and have the space to make a full copy of the drive, you can run

sudo dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of=~/driveBackup.iso bs=4M conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress

That will make an exact byte copy of the drive and store it as a file, still corrupted, but you can use the same dd command with the parameters reversed (if=~/driveBackup.iso of=/dev/nvme0n1) to put the current data back on the drive if things get fucked up.

>>102551258
thanks, but xwininfo seems better. anyway it seems like only splash screen launches in xwayland for some reason.

>>102551469
well I went through the mental exercise of buying a new drive so I'd have space to back it up, and then decided to risk just running

sudo ntfsfix /dev/nvme0n1

and it works now. According to a lot of googling, ntfsfix may have merely papered over a more serious corruption problem, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

>>102551566
Nice! I've found ntfs definitely gives me the most issues but those "magic" fixes generally get it working again
Definitely easier to risk running them knowing you've got a backup though

I just had a thought. Could you debootstrap an entire Linux installation and mount in a Docker container? Would that even work? What would you even use as a base image?

(I tried to tell everyone: make TWO partitions!)
>>102554504
No, you don't put images of CD-ROMs in the middle of hard drives, that won't make the drive do anything fancy. What you actually could do is take a partition and install CachyOS from your current running Arch. Assumed you have a spare partition.
>>102556384
I have no idea what mounting in a Docker container means.
Tools like Debootstrap puke out a Linux userland and then you'd chroot or systemd-nspawn to it. Sure, you can bind mount stuff under there??
>>102554488
Resource? Tor routes TCP, you can SSH for example thru it.

Guys at GNU specifically can't make good manual pages, they write some sort of scientific papers instead. This is what you get when things get too "educated" and fancy.

Anyone ever taken any of the red hat cert tests? Do they actually check on your work work experience to take the test or can I make it up? Never worked in IT I do mostly environmental work.

Great. Just great. Not only does the official Docker image for Debian Jessie still use the outdated source list from before it was EOL, there doesn't seem to be a way to mount a working source.list from archive.debian.org. Volume bind mount won't cut it for some reason.

I'm using KDE at the moment but I want to fuck around with a tiling wm. I know I can install one and keep KDE, but will that cause any problems?

iirc you can just edit a configuration file to swap portals

hyprland has a window buttons addon. i wonder if you could tardwrangle it into being a floating WM?

Is there a way to have mangohud continue to auto start itself on every vulkan render except for the gnome programs, or do I have to go fuck myself?

Used arch from 2016-2022 then used windows 11, after being sick of how shit windows has become I'm back on arch. How did microsoft fuck up this badly? On my lenovo yoga pro 9i I get better performance in gaming and my daw plus better battery life. Windows is driver hell when it comes to laptops. Linux just works after some copy and pasting terminal shit.

>>102559054
gave me a chuckle

>>102559068
When it comes to OEM shit on fresh Windows installs it's best to use the support page drivers on the model's page to get more advanced parts of it working properly, but if you're happy with Arch then it's all good I guess.

>>102559146
I know that, but it's annoying that I have to rely on lenovos vantage software which occasionally would crap out. Also the concern that they will one day stop supporting that iteration of software/hardware. The kernel is on going ensuring you will have support indefinitely. On top of that windows 11 has a lot of visual bugs and performance issues compared to arch on my laptop and desktop.

>>102559054
Don't use the environment variable, which you probably have set in a bashrc/profile or /etc/environment, etc.

Use mangorun to use programs instead.

Also, a fun fact: The Zink OpenGL on-top of Vulkan driver also supports Vulkan layers which is pretty cool. Mangohud works there too without any changes.

>>102559358
The command is

mangohud

not

mangorun

. Not sure where I got that from.

Noob here. I'm finally doing it, guys.

I have two disks for operating systems, and I am slowly transitioning my everyday software to a fresh Fedora 41 installation. Some are very easy to move, like Obsidian, where I only had to copy the content folder, but others like Aseprite have required me to recompile the program and manually link it to my DE.

Some software doesn't seem to have a replacement, but this has made me dive into Flathub's content and find some very interesting stuff.

I still have unresolved problems, but I guess finding the solution is only a matter of time. If you can help, here's a list:
>the colour profile is oversaturated, even after installing the manufacturer icm profile
>the system doesn't go to sleep but instantly switches back on
>I'm not sure I have the right nvidia driver installed (i screwed the MOK registering, and the driver no longer appears on Software)
>I can't get different applications to open different types of text files. It only lets me use one by default.
>VLC shows no video (I've been using a replacement).

But yes, for 80% of what I do, Fedora + Zen Browser works flawlessly so far.

I’m getting a new gpu hopefully, should I get a 7900 XTX or 4080 Super?

7900 XTX if you're buying it primarily for Linux and don't care about AI gimmicks or ray tracing.

>all gnome programs now render using vulkan
Does it still have opengl fallback or are all older pcs without vulkan support just screwed now?

>>102560079
Maybe list your usecase first because nvdec/nvenc and cuda are still superior to amds implementations

>>102560096
>7900 XTX if you're buying it primarily for Linux and don't care about AI gimmicks

tldr; Its great actually, all you ever needed was pure VRAM space. Speed is just naturally convenient.
>t. AI faggot with an 7900xtx

>>102560324
Most AMD GPUs have ample VRAM the problem was never the VRAM it was always AI faggots using CUDA for anything and everything and ROCm not being that great (it's gotten better but still far from perfect).

Most software today still developers for Nvidia CUDA first and foremost with AMD being an after thought. You're lucky to even get an AMD backend in the first place (half the time the only reason such a backend exists is because AMD is maintaining their own fork).

Not to mention how the support for NVIDIA might be a fucking meme, judging by how much they support Linux they might have meant that they mainly support commercial GPU usage like the RTX 6000 that is solely for work. Actually why was AMD supporting Linux unlike NVIDIA before? And didn't AMD also move most of the support towards the AI learning too? I wouldn't be surprised that if by some miracle people moved their server shit used for AI learning to windows, which while there is slight but very small chance since Microsoft is trying to implement some Linux features and what's not to their server firmware or whatever they do, both NVIDIA and even AMD could again stop giving a fuck about Linux. Sometimes I think that the Linux gaming with NVIDIA card or even further future even with AMD card was always going to be a meme and what we got today is best we will ever get when comes to gaming. And only reason we got any support is because it was byproduct of support of AI learning; them throwing a bone because they only cared about the meat; where the CUDA or whatever stuff is the meat. If you go to NVIDIA forum and look up issues that only affect people using cards to play games you will see how NVIDIA will just ignore and rarely if at all give any response.
Please somebody prove me wrong, that I'm being a pessimistic retard and not actually right, I don't want to be right but I'm not sure if I'm right or people just don't care to explain why I'm wrong.

MAKEOPTS is being set somewhere other than make.conf

This is why i'm getting this error. The -j12 -l12 is what the make.conf is set to and is why things are failing.

Got Redshift working on LXQt. Apparently it used to use some Mozilla service to determine your location but Mozilla discontinued the service, so now you either need a Google location API key, or you have to set your location manually

Linux grinds my gears with how much manual shit you have to do sometimes, but whatever.

How am i supposed to fix that?

>>102567248
Is it a cable mouse? I had this problem years ago and it was because the cable was interfering with the other cables and causing feeback noise.

>>102567248
It's drawing power to your gpu to render that movement. Had to get a powered dac and a noise reducer to my speaker monitors to remove the noise.

How to do something like this with linux instead?

Yes its a wired usb mouse
Is there no way to solve it other than taking the wireless pill
>>102567516
The only thing i was ever able to do to solve it is just turning the hardware volume down

>>102568661
>Is there no way to solve it other than taking the wireless pill
Try plugging it in the front usb ports to see if it stops making noise. If it does then it is the cable interfering with other cables, if you can move the cable so it isn't touching the other cables or the i/o plate it should be fine. That's how I fixed it anyway.

>>102568782
Also there is nothing wrong with wireless mouses in the year two thousand and twenty four.

You probably need to quote it because of the slashes

I always quote urls in the terminal in just about any context because my shell (zsh) interprets random parts of the url as something important which they never are. Not sure why it works in other directories though.

We were here since the start of the internet and immediately got into linux development, server hosting, network infrastructure, etc, on top of the already cheap infinite power we produce.

when I do backup I do incremental backup with borg from HDD to SSD then rsync from SSD to another computer over LAN. Why is the rsync significantly faster than borg though, don't they both first check modification date of everything then copy over the ones that changed? Is local HDD to SSD transfer that much slower than LAN transfer?

Some KDE devs must lurk these threads. I bitched about how using spectacle to copy a region made me unable to paste it into firefox until after the notification that I took a screenshot clears, and they fixed it not long after without me having made a bug report (couldn't decide if it was a spectacle or firefox issue)

borg is potentially encrypted/compressed compared to rsync

HDDs are usually not fast enough to even saturate a gigabit connection

New thread:
>>102571236

>>102570766
Why are you even using borg if you don't know what it does? borg is doing random access inspection of the original data and then at minimum applying deduplication and checksums. rsync is copying less data than borg had to read and without any IO wait.

They've been faster than 1Gb for about a decade now.

>HDDs are usually not fast enough to even saturate a gigabit connection
1Gbps = 125MB/s. That's roughly what old IDE and early SATA drives capped out at. HDDs have been over 200MB/s peak sequential for well over a decade, and over 150MB/s (the original SATA limit) for at least 15 years. Modern consumer HDDs peak around 250MB/s.

You need a 2.5Gbps link to not bottleneck an HDD, at least 5Gbps for a SATA SSD, and 10Gbps or faster for PCIe SSDs.

1Gbps is effectively obsolescent for LANs.

What's the easiest server to setup? What's the least cancerous?

>>102572992
Unbound?

>HTTPS web proxy
Forward or reverse? nginx can do both along with TLS termination, caching, and several forms of CGI.

>>102572992
Is there a reason you can't use DNS over TLS? DoH is garbage.
>best server
Whatever your distro uses by default. dnscrypt-proxy is most based, but not super special unless you're going to use anonymized DNS.
>https proxy
For what purpose?

And oh, currently running BIND9 as a recursive server.
