Is gamescope viable on nvidia hardware with wayland?

>>102953646
>For NVIDIA's proprietary driver, version 515.43.04+ is required (make sure the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter is set).
>https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope#gamescope-the-micro-compositor-formerly-known-as-steamcompmgr

So unless you're running something ancient (in which case you definitely shouldn't be using Wayland) it should work fine.

Why were some Russians removed from the Linux project? The current thread does not help explain it at all.

I'll just quote exactly what Linus said about it:

>Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

>It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.

>And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.

>If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

>As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.

The Linux Foundation is an organisation registered in the US therefore they have to be US sanctions lest Linus, Greg, etc, find themselves on a sanctions list themselves. It's real that simple, they have to cave to protect themselves and the project. The only alternative is to pack their bags and setup shop outside of America (of course they're not going to do that and other countries have sanctions too)

>>102954008
>>102954119
I'll quote the single word from Linus's statement which explains it:

That's why you configure it yourself. If you don't want to use resolved then you need to query DHCP or RDNSS or Bonjour or however it is your network is setup to give DNS information and do with this what you will.

Resolved is simply the default resolver. Networkd doesn't even need a resolver unless it needs to resolve hostnames (if you're not configuring something like a Wireguard VPN, it doesn't)

If it is a high CPU usage issue, then those kernels can make your system more responsive. But if the issue is something like RAM or GPU, then it will not help. The reason it can help is because the normal Linux kernel is geared towards server workloads while Zen/Liquorix has patches for workstation workloads.

>>102954310
>>102954343
Linus's statement implies that sanctions are the reason that they took this action. Maybe he had new advice from some lawyers, telling him he should remove Russians if he doesn't want legal penalties.

>>102954310

Nothing in theory. In practice the kernel is free software and development is done in the open and they'd likely refuse to co-operate with them.

You have to pick your battles and fighting Russian sanctions is not the hill you want to die on even if I disagree with them myself (I think they are poorly thought out and don't just impact Russia but have a ton of collateral damage).

>>102955122
I suspect the real difference won't be known for 10~20 years because this permanently compromises Linux' position as the universal kernel. Like other Anon said, if they'll cave on this, there's no practical limit to what the GAE can demand in the future. Independent countries will have to make their own plans.

In the immediate term it's just shitty Linus isn't looking out for his more vulnerable colleagues. I could understand if he told them all to fuck off in 2022, but this is just whoredom.

>>102954667
He hasn't been "forced to", he's done so voluntarily because his lawyers would have advised him to do so because he does not want to jeopardise the project or end up on a sanctions list himself.

I have Arch running a mini server with networkd and unbound and everything is working fine despite no resolvd.

Closer, but not really what I wanted. I don't want to specify any end time, only the start time. Something like this psuedocode:
>ffmpeg -i video1.mp4 -i video2.mp4 -filter_complex "[1:v], setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [cut]; [0:v][cut] overlay=enable='start(t,0)' [out]" -map "[out]" output.mp4

He thinks you can't pass the resolvers from your LAN to Unbound without resolved. That's not at all how that works though.

"longreplaced.mp4" does this: short.mp4 video plays with long.mp4 audio, after that, none of long.mp4 video plays but its audio keeps playing

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

>one of the deleted maintainers is a Kazakh living in the US...
If they have even the slightest association with Russia that's enough for them to cut off all contact with them. I don't know how they produced the list of maintainers to axe though and I doubt we'll ever know either. You can hope they've done their due diligence but they're probably never going to open that up for everyone to see.

Short overlayed on long, this also fails (no FFmpeg error, but unwanted result, also shit with shortest=0):

>$ ffmpeg -i long.mp4 -i short.mp4 -filter_complex "[1:v]setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[a]; [0:v][a]overlay=enable=gte(t\,0):shortest=1[out]" -map [out] -map 0:a -c:a copy -c:v libx264 out.mp4
But why? I guess because no end time is specified. Therefore, it keeps trying to play short.mp4 and only repeats the last frame of it so the video track looks frozen. Or something like that. 3 hours and 30 minutes later (>>102955356), only this FFmpeg command worked to do what I wanted:
>$ ffmpeg -i long.mp4 -i short.mp4 -filter_complex "[1:v] trim=0:58, setpts=PTS-STARTPTS [cut]; [0:v][cut] overlay=enable='between(t,0,58)' [out]" -map "[out]" out.mp4

So that fictional leet hacker uses it (and some other dude talking to him said he uses KDE). That episode first aired in June 2015, and maybe things were different back then.

As of now, I think GNOME is better than LXQt in at least one regard which is important to me.

Oh, and if you're wondering what they are, this is Apple's implementation of thumbnails which is somehow even worse than GNOME's broken implementation. They couldn't just put them in ~/.cache (I know macOS uses a different directory for cache, I can't remember which, it's not important).

I'm trying to follow this tutorial.
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/samba/provision-samba-ad-controller/
And for some reason when I try to do

dig @localhost +short -t A $(hostname)
 I always get 

@127.0.0.1#53 ad
;;connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Something like that, I don't have access to that machine right now. The important thing is the 127.0.0.1#53 .

However, this ONLY happens when I use the machine's hostname, any other hostname it works perfectly and even shows it's using Samba's DNS resolver with the correct IP address(192.168.x.x). Haven't tried the fully qualified domain name.  Haven't joined any machines to the domain to check that yet, but I'm not sure if I can. 

 This is all on a fresh VM. The only oddity is the two NICs I have set, both with static IP addresses and a network that looks like this. 

How can I fix this or do I need to worry about it? Assume I did EXACTLY what the tutorial said up to that point.

>>102962415
That's a pretty standard network setup. I would guess your DNS resolver is not listening on that address or is configured incorrectly.

>They couldn't just put them in ~/.cache
Putting all your thumbnails in one common location is a privacy risk. With the Windows/macOS approach thumbnails are not readily available for someone to snoop on what you've been looking at, they also need to know about and access the directory containing the source of every thumbnail, which could be non-trivial (eg. encryption). The locality of thumbnails matters.

You will know when something goes to read a file with a corrupt extent and either get an error or observe that it's corrupt and something's not right.

You can also manually check the integrity of the filesystem whenever you want and that will of course report any errors back to you (useful if a particular file isn't ready in a long time)

>>102962604
The whole system is only as secure as the sum of its parts. If you can't trust the drive that ~/.cache is on then you certainly can't trust using any encrypted storage on it. You can also override ~/.cache by setting the XDG_CACHE_HOME variable if it's important to you that this be located on a different drive for some reason but this is something YOU must do rather than the system retardedly storing thumbnails on remote drives by default (this is almost NEVER what you want to happen)

The default is to run in read-only mode so you can force it to run anyway. It'd be better to run it on an unmounted filesystem if you can though.

How can I securely copy files between drives in Linux? I gotta admit that this may be a little schizophrenic, maybe even a series of bad coincidences, but on linux I've managed to lose several files when drag n' dropping.
On Windows I could just drag n' drop and pull the thumbdrive without ejecting pretty much a few seconds affter the dialog box closes, on Linux that lead me into losing a bunch of files (they all were in the drive but had 0 bytes), now I've begun to always eject stuff before removing but I still get REALLY afraid, maybe it's because I feel that the different parts of Linux are held by scotch tape and hope.
I'd like a way to ABSOLUTELY be sure I copied my files, and that when the fucking transfer dialog is done I can just pull it out without ejecting it first if the need arises (I don't do that anymore even on windows but who knows, sometimes you just have to).

>>102962432
Okay, so here's what it's actually saying. And I wonder if the tutorial has a typo because $(hostname -f) works. Also it looks like you do have to edit /etc/hosts even though it doesn't say to do that, so I already know it's possible for the information to be incomplete.
It may also be that it's trying to search another domain, since there's another active directory domain on the WAN side and there's instructions to search both it and the new domain I'm setting up on the Ethernet ports that has a connection.

Open a terminal and write "sync", if it exits immediately you're good to go.

>>102967509
Really? https://linux.die.net/man/8/sync leads me to believe that the issue I was having was related to the fact there were still files in the RAM when I pull out the drive, is that correct? So sync forces the data to move from the RAM to the drive.
If that's it then great, thanks a lot. I was checking stuff like rsync or whatever but if I can make do with just sync I'm happy.

>>102966765
I tried running it with and without --read-only but it would still complain about the drive being mounted, i could just use --read-only and --force, but that doesnt sound like it's recommended.

So what is the best way to learn Linux terminal commands and how to read them? Like I am trying to boycott windows and switch to Pop OS (currently duel booting windows 10 and Pop on a seperate drive to try and don't plan on getting windows 11 when 10 dies) but the terminal confuses me a little and that is one of the big Linux things. I want to basically take a class on how to use it. I don't want to just copy and paste commands, I want to understand what I am doing when I type out a command.

>>102967349
If you're on a distro that uses udisks2 (most of them), you can set default=sync in the [defaults] section of /etc/udisks2/udisks.conf. Similar to Windows Fast Removal / Performance removable drive policy settings.
>>102967550
>leads me to believe that the issue I was having was related to the fact there were still files in the RAM
Yeah that's how all PCs work. From an application standpoint a file operation is normally finished once metadata is written to disk, but the OS normally buffers data to write whenever. Windows will do the same thing if you change the removable device policy to Performance.

>>102967768
Thanks for the explanation alongside the solution, that's very interesting to know. Bit weird that sync isn't the default behavior.

>>102967853
Sync is much slower. There's a file in /proc you can monitor to find out whether it's done flushing, but it's not easy to remember where it is (I would have to look it up). Most fancy DEs have a widget to do it for you.

River or hyprland if I'm gonna disable animations anyway?

>>102967928
I think river is like dwm and hyprland is like i3, but I might be wrong, I haven't used any.

>>102967647
Find something you want to do and use the terminal for it. Like trying to watch YouTube videos through MPV using yt-dlp (use the static binary from Github or a proper abstraction layer like pipx, raw pip likes to litter the system with shit but if nothing else you can set it to install packages only for your current user with --user flag). Later on you'll find that you can do things like force the video to always fetch the closest source to a certain resolution or just fetch the audio. Or even use RSS to check for channels you want.

Having a test directory with test files is very helpful. Pretty much try it as soon as you learn it.

>>102967926
Well I personally don't see the point in it being faster if the files aren't actually being transferred but I can see why it's not the default, shouldn't be that much slow (objectively at least, not relative to the non sync way) considering Windows use it as a default and I've never felt bothered by its speed.
>Most fancy DEs have a widget to do it for you.
Yep, now that you mentioned that I remembered that most occurrences happened when I was using I3. I don't remember it happening on Gnome but it did happened once in KDE when I was moving an ISO file and several config files.

ill be building a new pc soon and id like some cross platform (win+lin) benchmark tools, i want a synthetic one because of the reproducibility of the results, i dont care that it doesnt translate 1:1 to real world performance i just want to see if i can get similar numbers in both platforms

Go for it, currently on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I don't have anything bad to say about it, I don't know a single non apple development tool that isn't supported on Linux because a good chunk of devs are linuxfags.

>>102967640
It's not recommended because the thing it is scanning is actively changing on disk (unless you remount the filesystem read-only)

It won't break anything though, it's just scanning not repairing anything (BTRFS is actually self-repairing in a lot of cases. The developers actively recommend against repair actions unless you know what you're doing)

>>102970440
On Flatpak, you need to always run a

flatpak update

after updating the Nvidia drivers. This is because Nvidia's shitty user-space forces you to match the exact same version as the kernel driver and host.

Mesa doesn't have this issue.

>>102959125
Ext4 won't corrupt my data. Btrfs will :^)

>>102970440
Nah.

>>102970774
Only hardware issues will corrupt your data and you won't notice it with ext4, you'll just get random crashes and have no idea why. At least BTRFS has the courtesy to tell you the checksum it's expecting does not match.

>>102970803
where does btrfs tell me this?

Is there an imageviewer like Feh that works on Wayland and let me set a default window size? I want to quickly open small ~480p previews of big images that are too much of an annoyance to open in Gwenview from the command line.
>>102969928
I use Flatpaks for things that are a toothache to install (anything GUI using Python as a dependency) propietary shareware (like WPS Office) or that use non Qt toolkits (like most GNOME apps (Yes, haven't found a good Pomodoro timer for Linux writen in Qt, and Bottles is convenient).

>>102970895
In kernel logs and I/O errors propogated back to user-space.

You will know if something is wrong.

You could achieve something similar with Cage:

>>102971088
>>102971093
Will give it a shot, though pretty sure i had tested this one but can't remember why i ditched it. Perhaps a bug that got fixed already.

>>102971133
i don't see how is it remotely similar

>>102971004
so an error message will pop up? I don't usually check logs
assuming I use something like Fedora KDE

Remind me, why did Red Hat abandoned KDE?

>>102971179
Cage does window swallows for all windows. If you run a terminal in Cage and then open a PDF, the PDF viewer will swallow the terminal until you close it

how exactly do i cast content from my pc to my tv? it's not a smart tv, i have a chromecast device.
i never did this even on windows so i have no idea how it works.

>>102971275
Because they develop GNOME. They aren't interested in supporting more than one desktop environment for their paying customers so rather than lead them down the wrong path they simply leave it to third-party repos like EPEL.

One would hope a big customer of Red Hat could change this attitude by demanding KDE, but let's be real, nobody uses Red Hat on the desktop.

>>102968839
Probably SUSE again trying to ride on RH tailcoats.

>>102968839
Expect more guides telling people to disable SE Linux.

This is a bad move. AppArmor is good because administrators can actually fucking configure the thing without having a PHD.

>>102968610
1) Nobody has system mail set up
2) The average user wont be aware of system mail existing in the first place

>>102969928
It's better to avoid flatpak as much as you can, there's always weird shit that happens when using a flatpak over your native package manager

>>102971114
You can make a script with scratchpads on sway or whatever they're called on other distros to achieve similar result

>>102971468
Check /var/spool, you likely have it configured even if it's just something like Nullmailer. Not all distros do this but a lot do, Debian still does for one.

>>102969928
I enjoy them and generally have better luck with them than the repo janny packages. Examples: flatpak Dropbox worked for me, distro repo didn't and I can even reduce its access to my filesystem. Nicotine+ was packaged wrong, an old version and missing all plugins. RPCS3 versions lag behind so I couldn't play online. Flatpak fixed all these problems.

>>102971535
That argument goes both ways. For example, any software that supports different plugins or backend tends to not have all of them installed and available (this would bloat the Flatpak) and instead only has a small selection based on the maintainers preference.

There are still arguments in favour of Flatpak though, like the isolation you mentioned.

What's the best filesystem to use on an old HDD with a bunch of reallocated sectors? I'm asking because on FreeBSD this choice made all the difference: system was nigh unusable on UFS2, but worked pretty well on ZFS. Maybe it's important for Linux too.

>>102970615
Not him but Tumbleweed was one of the few distros infected with the xz backdoor... maybe there are downsides to being right on the bleeding edge

>>102971817
That also goes both ways unfortunately. You can trade Tumbleweed for an LTS and you're still not out of the woods. Sometimes it comes to light that a vulnerability specifically affects older versions of software that LTS distros are using but has long since been fixed in newer versions on bleeding edge distributions.

If you really care about the supply chain you'll take control yourself and Install Gentoo (or some other source based distro).

>>102971281
Ok, but running nested compositor for that is a bit overkill
And speaking of nested wayland compositors
how do I stop plasma-x11 from running anything wayland-capable inside those when I have one open?
I was only trying wayland because of this plasma behavior
can't find it in bugs even

>>102972007
>how do I stop plasma-x11 from running anything wayland-capable inside those when I have one open?
Disable XWayland support. Sometimes this requires a re-compile, other times it can be done at runtime via the config (e.g Sway lets you disable this at runtime)

>>102972027
>>102972007
If you're just looking to force Wayland though then you can do something like this:

env DISPLAY= program-to-run

Although sometimes the program might auto-detect that X11 is running and connect to it anyway.

>>102972027
Nah, I mean
>be in plasma-x11
>open cage/wayland/ whatever compositor inside it to run wayland-only program
>run wayland-capable program in plasma
>it opens in said nested compositor instead
it werked regardless of xwayland in various x11 WMs, I guess it's related to some env var plasma exports

>>102972139
I don't think plasma would export any Wayland environment variables on X11.

What does your environment look like? I guess something like this should fix it:

env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= plasmashell --replace

>>102965675
>That doesnt really matter
Remind me again what umask most distros set by default for home directories, and what that means for access by other users.

>>102965758
>rather than the system retardedly storing thumbnails on remote drives by default (this is almost NEVER what you want to happen)
Windows doesn't do that either. Network drives are treated specially for various reasons, some practical, others historical.

Another positive of keeping the thumbnails with the sources is that when you delete the sources, and particularly their directory, the thumbs get deleted as well. No such guarantee if they're all in ~/.cache.

>>102972168
yeah that's funny because export|grep WAYLAND_DISPLAY is null
but if I run WAYLAND_DISPLAY= wayland-capable-program it stays in plasma

I removed all layouts from here but I still can switch them by alt-shift. How does it work?

>>102972205
>No such guarantee if they're all in ~/.cache.
You should be pruning old cache files. I have a Cron job that runs regularly to do this. I don't know why desktops don't also do this themselves.

>>102972243
Do you have iBus configured? That uses its own separate keyboard layouts as far as I know (it can also be configured to follow the system layout but it's not the default)

>>102971889
I thought that LTS distros backport security fixes though

how would I go about safely exposing my home computer to the internet with ssh without having to fear people who aren't me getting access to it?

>>102972276
Use a VPN or overlay network. Or just use Mosh over IPv6 like I do. Script kiddies don't know how to scan the IPv6 Internet.

>>102972261
I don't think so. That's all I have installed.

>>102972168
and no, that didn't work

>>102972263
They do. Just like bleeding edge distros. That's too late if you're already vulnerable though.

Honestly, I don't think it's possible not realistic to avoid all security vulnerabilities. It's more important how a distro responds after the fact.

>>102971513
I think debian installs exim by default to use for system mail. But i don't think any of the ubuntu distros or mint, or any of those other kind of noob-friendly distros do that.

>>102972205
>Remind me again what umask most distros set by default for home directories, and what that means for access by other users.
The hell you talking about? that has nothing to do with thumbnail caching.
Also, 99% of people are single users.

>>102972388
>The hell you talking about? that has nothing to do with thumbnail caching.
The default umask of 0022 results in ~/, ~/.cache/ and ~/.cache/thumbnails/ being readable by anyone.

>>102972276
password authentication off and use an ssh key
that seems enough for the vast majority

>>102972434
A cache that cannot be read is almost useless. No shit it can be read by anyone with access to it.

>>102972577
Are you being obtuse on purpose?

>>102972620
No. How else do you expect a cache to work? Keep in mind that almost everything runs without a sandbox and can read/write all files in your home directory anyway (use Flatpak if you want to mitigate that).

>>102972263
They do, but only after the security flaw was known. Also note that some security flaws get fixes just like other bugs, never make it into the cves and hence not getting backported.

>>102972168
uh, ogay, later I noticed that only gtk stuff is affected
somewhat fixed it by setting GDK_BACKEND=x11
