why is the libreoffice calc UI look broken? im on linux mint btw, I assume its a broken theme of some sort

How do I created a mirrored zpool in ZFS? I have an existing pool called "zc" and one which I destroyed, was called "zb" (zpool-destroy + also deleted the partition with fdisk), on two diff. HDDs. Tried doing it with zc imported and exported:
>$ sudo zpool create zb mirror /dev/sdc /dev/sdd1
>invalid vdev specification
>use '-f' to override the following errors:
>/dev/sdd1 is part of active pool 'zc'
>$ sudo zpool create zb mirror /dev/sdc /dev/sdd1
>invalid vdev specification
>use '-f' to override the following errors:
>/dev/sdd1 is part of exported pool 'zc'
>$ # both FAILED

I want to create pool zb so it acts as a mirror to zc, receiving it's >10TB of data after being created as empty.

I'm a bit retarded and not fully tech literate so bear with me, but isn't Arch more stable than a stable distro like Ubuntu LTS or debian?

When you're upgrading from one version to the next on Linux, I've heard that updates can break the system because of clashing packages or whatever, but isn't that only a problem on distros that don't get updated for a long time? If you remember to regularly update Arch, shouldn't it be more stable, as in, not break as easily? I'm trying to decide on what distro to switch to, I've played around with linux on Ubuntu in a VM but I'm trying to decide if I should use an Arch based distro or use something else, and one of my main concerns is things breaking when I update, because I'm too retarded and lazy to fix that stuff if it happens. I'm okay with using a terminal. Currently I'm thinking about switching to Endeavor OS.

i love linux so much bros.

>>103133090
How do I do this? Also failed in the same way (tried it while both were imported and tried while both were exported):
>$ sudo zpool create zm0 mirror zc zb
With that command, zb was previously created via "sudo zpool create zb /dev/sdc1" (also used fdisk to make a blank partition for sdc).

first for GNOME Console is all you need

>>103133090
>>103133237
Does ZFS really expect you to have two blank HDDs with zero zpools on either in order to create a mirrored storage pool?! Rephrasing my question for a different situation - I have two ZFS pools: zc, which has >14TB on it, and zb, which has nothing on it; how do I get zfs or the zpool command to make zb act as a mirror to zc?

You asked for my experience so here it's goes. I got a new dev jobs so I decided to give Linux a try.

>All I hear from my earbuds is muffled shit. It's probably ubuntu shittin the bed. I looked online for solutions and it is the usual Linux humiliation ritual of visiting various websites proposing various solutions. Type this shit in terminal, install these shitty packages, create this shitty conf files in that stupid directory (using pico or vi of course) and something about ad2p and HSP or some shit. I wasted 3-4 hours on a problem, still haven't found solution.
>Fn keys of laptop don't work, probably need to do some digging there
>Logitech MX master 3s software doesn't exist in Linux, you lose the extra features

So yeah I went with Ubuntu, supposedly the friendliest distro and still got a bunch of weird shit and not supported equipment.
Overall it is fairly polished and better than windows for development. i especially appreciate that there is no "give me your credit card, here is our one drive, here is our office 365, here is our shitty UI, let's steal your data" windows shit but I will keep windows on my home machine because I want to play some games , make music and don't won't to troubleshoot and fight to make those things work when I am trying to relax in my home environment .

Chatbot https://chat-gpt.org/chat said that you do indeed have to have two blank ZFS-less HDDs in order to create a mirrored pool. However, I followed this guide:
>https://blog.fosketts.net/2017/12/11/add-mirror-existing-zfs-drive/
>Add a Mirror to an Existing ZFS Drive
>One of my criticisms of ZFS is that it’s not flexible: Once you set up a dataset, you’re pretty much stuck with it. But this isn’t entirely true: You can add a mirror or stripe to an existing pool without destroying the data. Since this is quite a common operation, I decided to write it up for posterity.
Pretty sure it will keep acting as a mirror and keep syncing going into the future. So you can add a storage device to another one which will then act as a mirror:
>$ sudo zpool attach $poolName $existingPartitionUuid $newParitionUuid
Find UUID:
>$ lsblk --fs # /dev/gptid/$uuid
Only zc had a UUID, formerly-zb didn't, so I ran:
>$ sudo zpool attach zc /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdc1
This is perhaps a BAD idea, since /dev/sdd /dev/sdc can switch places depending on which one you plugged in first. But I'll spin it and say I'm a cool guy who likes to live riskily. View resilvering status:

And here are mine right after installing Mint:

I'm dual-booting with Windows, and the automatic partitioning didn't create the separate home partition or the swap file equal to my RAM as recommended in the Mint manual.
Keyboard layouts are not on the panel from the start, the keyboard shortcut to change them is even further in options.
Nano doesn't launch from the software manager, even though the button is there. Some other applications too.
Wifi addapter had to be reset after a Windows update (now I know that Windows can "capture" your adapter)

What does that really mean? What do you do with that or have done under that category. You know, I'm something of a data scientist myself. I've done many things with data: I have understood, tested, created, and wrangled various forms of it. It's sometimes fun to do and understand. I've documented my journeys with it many times. I don't have a degree in "Data Science", but perhaps I will in the future, who knows.

I have a couple of internet-facing boxes running systemd/Linux and both are using NFtables for filtering. Ruleset is simple: only accept established connections but do allow incoming SSH, drop ping probes. And so on.

>>103134450
Any distro can run Conda, don't overthink it.
Ubuntu is by far the most popular distro and Mint is downstream of it. If something stops working on Ubuntu people will get mad and get it fixed. No one does "data science" on riced out Arch setups, the academia loves old boring stable shit.

Distributions have varying defaults and dependencies. The lighter you go the more error messages you can except as you are more likely missing some expected pieces of the software.

>>103136047
Exactly what it says on the tin.
Either the program you wanted to start needs a library that does not exist on your system, or the library exists in a path that is not in your library path.
I would assume it is the first, but that would mean that your package manager is missing a dependency for whatever package contains that program you are trying to run, unless you downloaded an executable from somewhere else.

so far awesome is the best tiling WM that i've used, which sucks because i really dislike it.
i really hate the idea of using lua to configure it. i don't use lua so i don't know if the language is just like that, but the syntax for the API is god awful. i'm not opposed to using something a bit more advanced than a simple conf file - i write my own emacs config - but come on, the default config that they make you use as a base is 500 lines of lua.
with that being said, there isn't really anything better. on paper it's a really good WM:
>dynamic tiling
>fully EWMH compliant
>hackable
>first class support for floating windows
and then you start using it and find out everything is made out of lua tables. just sucks.
>inb4 use fennel
worse syntax somehow.

>>103133092
>TLDR
No

>Full answer
LTS distros package tested versions of programs that are confirmed to have minimal bugs and work well with the system. When you roll over to the next release, the packages will be updated to run smoothly on the new kernel.
Rolling releases usually push the latest patches of software that will work on the latest kernel, but will cause issues if you run them on older kernels (ie. Manjaro); they also don't test for bugs as thoroughly/at all

I didn't feel entirely right about using chatgpt for something as potentially problematic as storage device setup or disk management, even before you posted anything. Your post "motivated" me to do more research, so I watched this YouTube video about ZFS mirroring:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv6zi_Bsv_c

Further understanding from that:
- about >>103133304
>Does ZFS really expect you to have two blank HDDs with zero zpools on either in order to create a mirrored storage pool
Yes, to create a dataset/pool as a mirror, using the "mirror" keyword with the zpool command, you apparently have to have two unpartitioned HDDs. The guy in the video appear to do that. However, you can also create a mirror using the "attach" subcommand or keyword.
- about >>103133594
>>$ sudo zpool attach zc /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdc1
>This is perhaps a BAD idea, since /dev/sdd /dev/sdc can switch places depending on which one you plugged in first
The guy in the video (MichaelsTechTutorials) did that, so I guess it's fine. As long as it resilvers it all with no problems like a power outage or other system crashing/rebooting/freezing/disabling event it should be fine.

>>103136145
i don't know about xmonad. you kind of have to bypass your distro's package management and use ghcup or something. don't like that. that might just be too autistic on my part, but i like to use my package manager to install most things.

What's a good File Manager to use on Wayland that runs natively (without XWayland)? I'm using sway if that matters.

PCManFM is apparently abandoned by the owner who made a new project called PCManFM-qt. So that's a viable option, except I can't seem to get it to launch without XWayland. But this may just be an issue on my machine that I can resolve somehow.

Is it possible to use both a dedicated GPU and onboard graphics at the same time?
If so, how easy is it?
Would it be more difficult with say a Debian Net Install, or would it just work? If Debian Net Install doesnt just work, how about Linux Mint?
I plan to game on one monitor connected to the dedicated GPU, any issues with leaving the ones connected to the iGPU on while gaming?

pretty sure i used 'attach' instead of add when i created my mirror. just attaching the new device to the existing pool.

Some notes I've left for myself in my backup script. Rsync can be quite complicated.

# exclude: trailing slash to only match directories
# exclude: leading slash to match from the beginning of source
# source: no trailing slash to sync the directory and not just the contents
# source: /./ to limit path information for the --relative option
# destination: trailing slash to make sure we're syncing to a directory and not a file

hello /fglt/
I decided to switch to LXQt as my DE and currently like how simple it is
however, I do experience two problems that I don't know how to resolve
>screengrab, LXQt's "screenshooter", doesn't terminate itself after screenshoting
I can either let it run in the background or switch to a different program
obviously I just want it to automatically close itself after doing its task
>Debian Stable doesn't have xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt
this means that my filepicker is from footDE
as a compromise I installed xdg-desktop-portal-kde, but, for some reason, it doesn't show any icon (pic related)
any idea how to solve my issues?

Since valve has made the switch to arch, It only makes sense for everyone else to switch to arch.

If you want Arch with a Calamares installer then use EndeavourOS to install it.
Also thanks to it being included on the Deck, KDE is the gaming DE of the now.

I have 2 monitors, one is a 1440p 144Hz (only runs at 120Hz so far but thats fine) and a 1440p 60Hz. I want to game on the faster monitor, anywhere from 90-120Hz, but want the 2nd display on while gaming. I use the 2nd monitor for chat messages, hit/kill/death messages, etc.

In the past when I tried this, though the gaming monitor was clearly set to 96Hz, it was pretty clearly only running at 60Hz with the 2nd monitor enabled. It appeared to run identically to when actually set to 60Hz. Disabling the 2nd monitor appeared to make the gaming monitor actually run at 96Hz.

It is my understanding that this is a Xorg limitation and theres no workaround; is that true? Does this mixed refresh rate function properly on Wayland? And if so, does it function equally well on both AMD and Nvidia? And again, if it makes things easier, I am only actually gaming on one monitor, with a second monitor active with a terminal open displaying chat/hit/kill/etc messages

Unlike AI, humans are capable of reasoning. Instead of weighted values of statistical occurrences of text, with reasoning you can actually determine true and false, largely through avoiding contradictions and using logic.

Speaking of reason, can reason know reality? Think about analytical and empirical philosophy and Immanuel Kant. In "The Critique of Pure Reason" by Kant, he made something of a Copernican revolution in proving on objective grounds that humans can only subjectively know the external world. There is no objective truth but what our minds display, which is ultimately subjective. The external world is not something which is there and we perceive it. Instead, we are here and the external world is completely in our minds. Reason's loss is religion's gain. Since we are limited to only knowing the phenomenal, the noumenal locked away, and who's to say what that is? Phenomena = entities as known by being filtered or passed through the mind. Noumena = the thing in its self, the truth of entities regardless of minds perceiving them. However, this is Philosophy 101; Hegel, Martin Heidegger, and other philosophers formed further ideas which presumed Kant's main or groundbreaking ideas. For example, Hegel wrote about contradictions not being necessarily false, but part of a "better reasoning". He wrote something to the effect of how Kant was too hung up on the Aristotelean logic of noncontradiction.

I want to be able to stream my games while I'm talking on Signal, so I have to turn the game window into a 'camera' if you know what I mean.

Wtf is this "speech dispatcher" service that's running on Linux mint?

Does the Ladybird browser work on 4chan, including posting (without buying a pass, so I guess that means it has to work with cloudflare and 4chans captcha)?

>>103147824
Never heard of it, but looking it up and it being a new open source browser standard away from Chromium or Firefox does look like it has some promise. Gonna be ages until most net shit accepts it though, so I'd say that captchas probably don't work in its pre-alpha state. But if your distro has it you could always try?

>>103147890
4chan is a fairly simple website though, I can see it working at least if you buy a pass because then you don't have to go through cloudflare or do the captcha.
Cloudflare will probably block it otherwise. It even blocks icecat.

I'd try it but there's currently no Guix package for it. I think someone is working on it though, so hopefully soon.

"I want to Arch but don't want to maintain it" is something that's said often (even though maintaining Arch is easy, especially if you alias commands) but when people ask that they're usually ferried off to something like Fedora which is like half stable half rolling, or something like openSUSE Tumbleweed.

>>103148466
just booted mine up. yeah, doesn't seem like it comes with samba which means you won't be able to host one. it does come with nfs-utils, which allows you to host a NFS share at least. not sure if your phone supports accessing those. i think VLC on android might support it. interestingly i found out that it comes with podman and distrobox now. i didn't know that.

>>103148503
they don't really do the same thing. samba and nfs is for general file sharing, like something you might have on a NAS. for the discover store, i don't really know what you're talking about. it's not really something that can or should run in a flatpak.

>>103148532

You can do systemd timers or some shit like that if manually typing the update command feels like a hassle.

depending on the setup you will need to start a few services as well
on openbsd its mountd and nfsd
linux: nfs-server, rpc{bind, statd, mountd}
client side mounting is a lot easier then the arch wiki makes it out to be and you need to do
mount -t nfs -o nolock $IP:/server/mount/point /local/mount/point
also for remounting via fstab
$IP:/server/mount/point /local/mount/point nfs nolock,noatime,ro,nodev,nosuid 0 0

>>103148987
Find whatever is trying to use it and uninstall it. It's DBus activated so it won't run unless something is trying to use it.

I think Firefox uses it for narration:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/speechd-setup but it should work without it.

You could uninstall speech-dispatcher and everything that depends on it and see what breaks. In my case the only explicit dependency I have for it is qtspeech:

$ equery d speech-dispatcher
 * These packages depend on speech-dispatcher:
dev-qt/qtspeech-6.8.0 (speechd ? app-accessibility/speech-dispatcher)
                      (speechd ? app-accessibility/speech-dispatcher)

>>103149151
*Correction, it's socket activated (on Systemd at least, I'm not using that) so you should be able to disable the .socket unit file.

It seems to be handled fine by Firefox (which uses ICU if I recall correctly).

I'm stumped. I've never seen this before. If I copy the string from Firefox to my clipboard and then paste it, it contains a bunch of ??? characters.

If I paste it into Kate, there are those box characters as if it can't find a glyph for it but I do have the proper font support as evidenced by it working correctly in Firefox.

Does everything else just handle locales really shit and only Firefox can do it right?

Not sure how other distros handle it, but Arch packages xmonad & xmonad-contrib in [extra], and that probably does everything you want.
Like other tiling wm's it's common to rely on small external utilities, dmenu, etc. I would say the tendency is for these utils to end up with a Haskell variant as most-popular though. Like xmobar for status bar, etc.

GHC is a fairly large dependency (250MiB?) if you're not using Haskell for anything else, but you have it have it because updating your config requires recompiling the xmonad executable.

>>103143137
You can have mixed-rate refresh with X, but you have to edit your gpu's xorg.conf.d file to enable an option called "AsyncFlipSecondaries". This will prevent your primary display from getting the lowest common denominator treatment, but the flipside is it can cause tearing on your non-primary displays.

>>103149389

If I do:

export LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8

it works correctly. Now what the fuck is defaulting everything except LANG to C? I remember somebody else had this problem before and it turned out to be KDE's fault. I hope that's not the case here…

Turn on more verbose debugging output?

Sometimes I'll find a good hint on pcgamingwiki, looking through their issues section, etc. Despite the premise, I rarely find good info on protondb.

I'm kinda sick of accounts and passwords. The 45th entry in a rainbow table I made was the successful login. I'm gonna start writing down my passwords and saving them as AES256-encrypted files. Here's one of my passwords:
https://archive.is/ULiP1

In the process, I found a bug with 7-Zip 23.01 (x64) 2023-06-20 when used with QTerminal 1.4.0, maybe an already known about bug. If you hit ctrl+c when 7z says
>Enter password (will not be echoed):
then it will mess up that QTerminal tab in a significant way: can't see anything you write, and entering and exiting vim doesn't help. In Lubuntu with LXQt.

>>103133575
It seems that Tribler uses Tor plus some other things:
>Tribler is an open source decentralized BitTorrent client which allows anonymous peer-to-peer by default. Tribler is based on the BitTorrent protocol and uses an overlay network for content searching.[4] Due to this overlay network, Tribler does not require an external website or indexing service to discover content.[5] The user interface of Tribler is very basic and focused on ease of use instead of diversity of features.[6] Tribler is available for Linux, Windows, and OS X.[7]
>[...]
>In 2014, with the release of version 6.3.1, a custom built-in onion routing network was introduced as part of Tribler.[9] Users can load any clearnet torrent, and by leaving the box for anonymity ticked, the files will be routed through other Tribler.[10] Because the custom onion network does not use Tor exit nodes, it is enhanced to make every Tribler user to function as a relay.[11]

>>103149630
Probably doesn't matter for that account password, but that AES-256 file isn't wrapped in quantum-proof encryption. Where can you get such an encryption program? I think SimpleX Chat uses one such program; that can be downloaded here:
>https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/zipball/master
>$ git clone https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat.git # = 245.38 MiB.

The openssl program can also be used to encrypt messages:
>$ echo foo | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -e -in - -base64
>enter AES-256-CBC encryption password:
>Verifying - enter AES-256-CBC encryption password:
>U2FsdGVkX1/piG9kHJZiyk1vW31I7DRU9tbSSWZQIZU=
>$ # password=bar
decrypt:
>$ echo U2FsdGVkX1/piG9kHJZiyk1vW31I7DRU9tbSSWZQIZU= | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -d -in - -base64 # = foo

is there a site that list the linux alternatives to popular apps from windows and macos?

>>103149836

>>103149454
>Not sure how other distros handle it, but Arch packages xmonad & xmonad-contrib in [extra], and that probably does everything you want.
you aren't supposed to use those because haskell packages have a fuckton of dependencies, and because arch uses dynamic linking for its packages even a single dependency update will break everything.

>>103150627
That only happens because you use a shit distribution whose package maintainers don't do revbumps properly. I never have an issue with Haskell shit on Gentoo. Sometimes I have to run haskell-updater but they have all of the tooling in place to do this.

>>103150622

i am relatively new to linux and i made a mistake probably most noobs do in the beginning... tried too many DE, installed way too many useless AUR packages (i am on endeaourOS), probably have 2 or 3 different vulkan drivers just messing shit up

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=297193

>>103151768
you should make a separate partition for /home anyway.

>>103151768
You could do something like

mkdir -pv /newroot
pacstrap /newroot base base-devel

etc

Then you just move the directories one at a time from /newroot to /. Perhaps using something like a static Busybox so you don't have library issues while you do this.

i am having lots of previews and thumbnails problems on cinnamon + nemo.
mostly on webm, png and gif
why?

>>103152095
Usually it's the thumbnails cache in ~/.cache/thumbnails

>>103150905
Add wine to your repositories and download/install the latest version; Or, download bottles from Flatpak and create an environment for your app

>>103149926
I think that is not such a bad thing. If you have the choice between multiple softwares which are almost the same, then may as well support or use the one you dislike the least. Especially if you ever consider giving the devs money.
