How do I get a list of zipped archives that are missing a specific file?
A naive find -exec unzip -l loop won't suffice, because the file name and the containing archive will be on different lines.
Do I have to get out the awk (which I know very little about) and the RS= , or is there some better way?
I don't care about doing it in bash either, if there's a good gui method that's fine, too.

Are there any distros that Macfags tend to use? I inherited a 2017 Macbook Air with only 8GB of RAM and the OS can't be upgraded beyond 12.7.6 Monterey. I believe that's three versions out of date.

Something like:

$ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.zip" -print0 | xargs -r -0 -I{} -P4 /bin/sh -c '7z l "{}" | grep -q -F FOOBAR || echo "{}"' \;

I went into arch chroot with the installation iso with /mnt/, /mnt/home, and /mnt/root mounted. I then then reinstalled the linux and nvidia packages. I am still getting the same error.

>>103156550
Note that this uses fixed string matching. If you wanted to be more precise then you could change the grep like this:

$ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.zip" -print0 | xargs -r -0 -I{} -P4 /bin/sh -c '7z l "{}" | grep -q -F -E "(\s|/)FOOBAR\$" || echo "{}"' \;

i.e, use a Regex anchored to the end of the line and matching whitespace or / preceding the match.

Question, why is linux performance so bad with multimedia? I just switched my main system from Windows 11 and I am getting dropped frames on a 1080p YT video...
Even if I am using software decoding it shouldn't drop frames considering I have a Ryzen 5800X, it can easily software decode a 4K AV1 video on Windows.

>>103156723
have you tried actually watching a video? You know, a local file and not some streaming shit?

>>103156830
>a local file and not some streaming shit?
How is that relevant to the issue?

>>103156868
If your network is bad or YouTube's network is bad you will drop more frames and it's nothing to do with Linux.

>>103156868
because with streaming, the issue might be the network and not the multimedia part.

>>103156906
>>103156911
Then why it didn't drop frames on Windows over the same network? It is an Intel adapter, and my network is fine.
I think it might have something to do with power management.

>>103156630
thanks anon. this is cool

you could just symlink wget2 to wget and not have to do any of this shit

It has a lot of the same features and will eventually be a drop-in replacement but it's not there yet. It has way better async/parallel download support though. It flies through downloads now.

The only downside is there's no progress bar. --progress=bar doesn't work because the download process isn't connected to the TTY, and they haven't implemented --progress=dot yet.

I have a problem with ssh keys. I have a host running arch and guest running freebsd.
I have a laptop running mint. I set up and copied a key from both mint and arch to freebsd.
I disabled password logins and enabled public keys on bsd.
The linux machine works fine. It logs right in as expected, but the arch machine is still prompted for a password and can log in.
Neither keys were made with a passphrase.
Never saw that happen before.
Here is a detail but i dont see how it matters:
linux mint key was created as id_rsa
arch was created as id_ed25519
I dont see how that could affect anything.
I restarted ssh on the guest. Then when i saw a problem I rebooted the host thinking maybe its because they are sharing a bridge, but still, ssh shouldn't allow any password login.

#LoginGraceTime 2m
PermitRootLogin no
#StrictModes yes
#MaxAuthTries 6
#MaxSessions 10

PubkeyAuthentication yes

I forgot to add the line in the code snippet but can confirm

# Note that passwords may also be accepted via KbdInteractiveAuthentication.
PasswordAuthentication no
#PermitEmptyPasswords no

Some thing's wrong with me because being on a working system makes me bored. Still when setting things up sometimes I bang my head against the wall, but I guess I somehow autistically enjoy it at the same time, and it makes me feel good when I succeed.

That's the main reason why I've now hopped between void and gentoo, boredom. What more things could I tinker with? Have riced my own fork of dwm, st etc.

I switched the Kbd line and that works but the key is not working and it probably the filename witch i customized.

>>103157405
start writing gentoo ebuilds if you haven't already. your dwm fork can be installed and updated from your own custom gentoo overlay, at lieast thats what I do.

you can try out different init systems, great thing about gentoo is you don't need to reinstall to do that. s6 is pretty cool, might be a fun challenge.

plenty of other things to tinker with. maybe you could try selfhosting something.

>>103156550
>>103156606
thank you very much, anon!

>>103157506
The ironic thing is that I just switched to void to avoid having to put in the work to maintain my system, kernel etc. Still ended up enjoying the installation process somehow.

Tried my hand at making a basic website a couple weeks back, but it just doesn't hit the same. I guess I have a soft spot for the initial installation and the occasional tinkering. With gentoo I felt like I at times had to do too much, so I guess it sucked the joy out of it. And now ironically I'm bored because everything is working.

>>103157616
gentoo with btrfs snapshots and backups makes my life a good bit easier. if it stops working and I don't ahve to time or energy to fix or maintain shit, just roll back and everything is back to normal.

I've been struggling with tihs for the past few days, and can't figure it out.
I want to play mental omega mod for Ra2/YR.
Online solutions are useless, because it didn't work and kept running into issues.
Finally out of frustration, I tried plain default wine (wine-staging 9.21-1), and it fucking worked.
I could boot Ra2/Yr with no issues, despite several resource telling me to install cncddraw.
Anyway, tried to get Mental omega, I just get black window, with the audio working.
Anything I do to change the wine prefix, and I get window with kaboom error.
Running wine in terminal doesn't help since I get all kinds of errors that don't make sense.

I just uninstalled a package, how come when I type that specific package name in the terminal it first states the path (/usr/bin/package) and says: "No such file or directory" Whereas when I type something else (that's not on the system) it just says: "command not found" Did something not get deleted or is this just a matter of deleting the package cache? I'm on void.

>>103158315
Your shell has a cache so that it doesn't have to scan the filesystem all of the time, it remembers where the program is in the $PATH. If you start a new shell then it'll forget it again because it'll generate the cache again.

I think you can also run the rehash command

Is there a debian based distro that installs the proprietary nvidia driver automatically like nobara does? kubuntu keeps randomly crashing.

>>103158863
Is the way Debian does it not "automatically" enough for you? All I've had to do for at least a decade is to enable the non-free repos and run "apt-get install nvidia-driver".

Ive tried that, but every time I do, the nvidia daemon refuses to start on bootup. I don't know what Im doing wrong because I follow the debian wiki closely.

>>103158908
I'm not sure what Nvidia daemon you're referring to. The driver is a combination of a kernel module and an Xorg binary driver. The only service unit I can see is the Nvidia persistence daemon, which is not needed in normal desktop configurations.

- log out of graphical session (back to login screen/display manager)
- switch to another VT (ctrl+alt+f2)
- log in as root
- run "pkill -15 -u <your username>" to close off any remaining processes under your user (note: "15" is a graceful exit signal)
- run "rsync -avx /home/. /path/to/new/home" to copy home contents to new location.
- add/update fstab entry for the new home volume
- unmount existing /home if applicable (umount /home), unmount temporary new home mount, and mount the new home (mount /home), verify with "mount | grep /home"
you should now be able to switch back to the graphical VT (usually ctrl+alt+f1 or f7) and log in as usual, once you've verified it's working, you can mount the old home (bind mount root if it wasn't separate) and remove the contents of the original home folder to free that space

after i wrote it i realised moving home using usermod isn't what you want, since the end result has your data in the same path (/home), so you aren't really moving anything in that regard (as in changing where your home is in /etc/passwd, which is where your home path is stored, along with uid/gid's, login shell, etc. historically also user passwords, hence the name, though these days for security reasons those were moved to /etc/shadow)
ask if you run into anything unexpected (for example, systemd may complain when you change fstab, asking to reload the systemd daemon, which you should do)
and don't delete the old home contents until you've logged back in and made sure things are working as expected

So, the only configuration that is being loaded is pipewire-pulse.conf? Nothing else?

/usr/bin/pipewire -c pipewire-pulse.conf 1>>"${GENTOO_PIPEWIRE_PULSE_LOG}" 2>&1 &

So have I just been using the pulseaudio emulation this whole time, even for programs that could use the proper pipewire server (no alsa or pulse emulation?)
I have my mpv set to use ao=pipewire. Is that using pipewire proper or it doesn't matter because pipewire was started pointing to the pipewire-pulse config?

I only want programs to use pulse or alsa emulation when there's no native pipewire solution!

>>103161002
Ahh, nevermind. Seems that pipewire is first started without the "-c" flag, so I assume it loads pipewire's pipewire.conf or minimal.conf first, and then loads pipewire-pulse.conf for pulse emulation.

But in pipewire.conf I've set log.level to 0, and in pipewire-pulse.conf, it's set to 2, and the pw-metadata -n settings gives me this:

update: id:0 key:'log.level' value:'2' type:''

so I'm assuming pipewire-pulse is taking priority here, and overwriting pipewire.conf's settings.

>>103161100
no it's a child process

>>103161100
Nevermind. Took the time to compare both config files and the only thing that might be overwritten is "pulse.properties" but that's fine.
I guess pw-metadata is getting that info from the emulated pulse server.
All good now.

Thanks for all of your help!

just reinstall. That shit is trash.

been using Debian daily on a server and decided to try it on my desktop too, picked plasma since it looked cool, and having a ton of problems with it, after some searching most of my issues seem to be because of wayland which plasma defaults to.

Are there any actual benifit to using wayland? All the answers I get from searching are either 5 years old so may be out of date or just people saying it's better or that xorg is deprecated and you don't have a choice. But every single utility I want to use doesn't support wayland and with no alternatives, or it just crashes.

Just tried Fedora on a live usb. Yeah, it's as pretty and snappy as I imagined it. The pen stylus/tablet support is great too, much better than Mint's by default. The only hiccup I ran into was the codecs. I guess they don't want to bundle unauthorized codecs so it made a lot of my local videos/clips unplayable. Will have to download them manually or some other way. Mint has a friendly option to download them all for you automatically at the start.

Trying to get extensions for the desktop/UI is a bit of a pain too since Extension Manager from the software center doesn't give you a big overview of them, it's just a list that you have to keep loading manually to view more.

Really curious what game and WINE performance is like compared to Mint. I'd have to install it to my hard drive to do a proper test but I think I'll wait on that. Don't feel like messing with my Windows or Mint installs yet. Maybe when Microsoft forces Recall on my system. MS is on thin ice right now, and they just need to do something stupid so I have a reason to go all in on Fedora.

>>103161356
Codecs are the one place Fedora sucks, for legal reasons. Go to https://rpmfusion.org and follow the instructions.

Does anyone know of a way to make it so that bluetooth is not automatically enabled on startup on Fedora Gnome? I know it's easy using KDE and on other distros (definitely works on Ubuntu anyway), changing AutoEnable=true to false in the bluetooth conf file in /etc/ works but it doesn't on Fedora for some reason.

Hello everyone, I have a weird issue here but I gotta give some infor first. My rig is a HP Pavillion 23 under GNU/Linux (obviously) and under KDE.

I need to transfer files to my USB storage, the machine is all USB 2.0. When I transfer a large file above 200MB, I see no transfer progress, the file seems to copy instantly on the USB storage, the file seems correct. I am currently trying to upgrade my PS3 using a PS4 Pro's 1TB HDD and I have to reinstall the system. It is as if I have transferred a png

The PS3 keeps saying that is unable to find the files. I have tried a USB key and external HDD and it is the same. What can I do for a perfect transfer? I need to use my PS3, it is my only bluray player and I wanna see Zoolander next Friday night.

Now I gotta leave for work so I will come back to this thread later after my shift and will keep an eye using my phone.

>>103161847
you need to unmount it before you physically remove the drive
this is normal default behaviour in linux, it allows write caching for external drives, which windows by default does not. what this means is that it appears to do the transfer almost immediately, and as far as anything is concerned, the files act like they're all there, but in the background the files are still being transferred
this is both a performance benefit and a user experience benefit, but the downside is that it's not what windows does, so it's not an uncommon thing for people to get tripped up on, transferring files to a removable drive then removing it once the transfer dialogue is gone, since that's what they do in windows

>>103162317
Thank you very much, I will keep in mind and the tab open for tonight. I hope the SATAIII drive will do wonders with my overclocked PS3 Slim

Why are they child processes? They should be launched separately by a supervisor of some sort:

pstree -p | grep -E "wireplumber|pipewire|pulse"
        |-supervise-daemo(28747)---wireplumber(32255)-+-{wireplumber}(32262)
        |                                             |-{wireplumber}(32263)
        |                                             |-{wireplumber}(32264)
        |                                             `-{wireplumber}(32266)
        |-supervise-daemo(32248)---pipewire(32249)---{pipewire}(32258)
        |-supervise-daemo(32399)---pipewire-pulse(32400)---{pipewire-pulse}(32409)

Even if you're using a shitty script like Gentoo provides they should be child processes of Bash. Wireplumber shouldn't be starting PipeWire.

>>103162422
i haven't used kde in a while, but i believe it has a devices applet in the notification area (bottom right) where you can eject (unmount) drives, this is what you want. wait until it shows that it's ejected then it's safe to remove it
note that how long it takes to eject depends on how much of that background transfer is still pending, naturally if you starting moving a lot of files then immediately go to eject it, it may take some time to eject, but not any longer than it would have without write caching. in my testing it's faster than for example windows, because write caching allows for more optimised transfers, as it doesn't need to worry about keeping the volume consistent as it writes (this does mean it's less safe to physically remove while writing, so you really really don't want to remove something like a fat32 drive without ejecting, it may become corrupted)

>>103162461
My Wireplumber process apparently likes to crash a lot too. lol:

I'm looking for an alternative to Obsidian, primarily because it's not FOSS and partially because the devs are determined to add bloat to it. Their shitass changes to tables is what broke me.

My needs are simple:
- notes are saved as markdown files (so no vendor lock-in)
- wikilinks and inline LaTeX are supported
- linked pictures can be embedded
- I can write tables without needing to interact with some menu and can either tab between cells or type the | myself
- Must run natively on Linux. No wine or bottles fuckery.

Nice-to haves:
- Native export to pdf
- A companion android app
- A graph view to basedpoint at

I've so far tried Zettlr, Trilium Next and Logseq.
>Logseq:
- the insistence on every paragraph being a bullet point drives me insane
- the millions of venture capital do not fill me with confidence
+ beautiful graph to basedpoint at I suppose
+ I enjoy that I can turn all the unneeded note types off
+ It's a beautiful UI

>Trilium Next
- Same retarded use of bullet points but it's slightly less in your face
- no wikilinks though
- A shitton of note types I don't need

>Zettlr
- Servicable, but with a bunch of bugs for UI scaling


Am I missing some obvious alternative? Or do I have to make do with those?

gpu passthrough
do i _have_ to uninstall nvidia proprietary drivers to make vfio properly take over the card?
My setup is almost ready, but if I have the nvidia driver installed and try to passthrough the gpu (via vfio-pci.ids kernel parameters), the machine freezes on boot right after "starting Light display manager".
Uninstalling the nvidia driver makes it work, but that's not what i want to do (I want to have access to the card normally on occasion).

Why can't I open Tor Browser (installed with flatpak) using dmenu? My PATH:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/anon/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin

There is a file named "org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher" in that .../exports/bin directory. If I open it from my terminal, it correctly opens Tor Browser. However, nothing at all happens when I open it from dmenu. dmenu correctly lists the contents of "/home/.../exports/bin" directory. It correctly offers me to open "org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher".
What's wrong? File permissions aren't a problem, it seems.
I used to be able to open it via dmenu 3 days ago.

>>103163737
since you don't have a separate /home mount currently, you'll need to make a new entry for it, something like;

UUID=... /home ext4 noatime 0 2

where ... is the uuid of the volume (use blkid to find it), ext4 is the format, noatime is an example mount option, 0 is for an obsolete feature don't worry about it, and 2 is to indicate when it should be checked during boot (basically 1 for root, 2 for other, and 0 for filesystems that don't need it such as btrfs)
>how should i later delete the data from the loop device to make sure the system stays intact?
mount it somewhere else at the same time, or if that doesn't work (i've been using btrfs so long i'm not certain if this is something you can do with any volume) then just get back to a VT logged in as root to unmount home and then delete the contents from there
when you mount a volume over a /home with files already in it, the mount "covers up" the existing contents, making them not directly accessible, but still there. you'd think you'd need an empty folder to mount to, but that's not how it works. it's safe to have stuff in a mountpoint already

I see what the problem is now. My $PATH resets to default every time I close the terminal. So it's not dmenu's or flatpak's fault.

But now I have another problem. I've added

PATH="/home/anon/.local/bin/:$PATH"

to both .profile and .zshrc. It works as intended: every new terminal shows ~/.local/bin in $PATH. I've deleted ~/.cache/dmenu_run.
But why the fuck does dmenu still use my old $PATH? Typing

echo $PATH 1>>/home/anon/dmenu.log

in dmenu gives me the old $PATH, without ~/.local/bin.

None of them, really. Avoid Gigabyte if you want comprehensive sensor support for temperatures, fan control etc, the iTE SuperIO chips they use might as well be black boxes because iTE are cunts.
Otherwise they're all basically the same shit, and you should instead look out for (avoid) specific onboard controllers, like the ALC4080 audio codec (ALC4082 might be fine but I've also seen complaints), I225-V/I226-V 2.5G ethernet, and Realtek WiFi in general (prefer Intel/Mediatek).

my end goal was to bundle wine+prefix and a windows game like proton does, but due to wine's tendency to break or require specific patches for different software, it's getting hard to rely on the system-wide version
I've been toying with a layout like this and then prepending to the path in the runner script, but it feels wrong

is there an alternative besides making my own appimages?

>>103169601
The entry requires the mount point and filesystem existing. Do those two things and it works.
(bet you haven't yet decided how you want to ID that filesystem)
>mkdir tells me the file exists
One done.

Can't wait for Steam to support Wayland and for the WINE Wayland driver to actually be good so I can ditch X for good. I have 3 monitors, and one of them (laptop display) is set to 175% scaling whilst the other 2 are 100%. This causes XWayland applications to be a bit wonky, which is almost every game. Resorted to just running Steam in it's own Gamescope session to fix the problem for now.

Is ZFS Raid1 on Root for a Desktop oriented system good, or should I use xfs/ext4 on a raid1 or Bcachefs? BTRFS is way too slow.

Use gdisk to change the GPT partition label (not the filesystem label).

can anybody just explain to me what am i missing
how do i find out UUID of my new intended mountpoint?
>use blkid
it only give me UUID of the mountpoint currently used, i don't understand how to use it to give me any other

seriously, yes i'm a dumb noob but it's in your hands to actually change it. i've read every related manpage but clearly what i need to know is so basic that nobody ever bothers to include it.
just what do i put in that goddamn fstab file ffs?

>>103169846
Wireplumbers job is device management. The pipewire daemon is its own separate thing, Wireplumber just does enforcement / session management. It fulfills the same role as the deprecated pipewire media session.

>>103170347
Run partprobe first to update the kernel's understanding of the disks/partitions and then blkid will return the right information

>>103171127
how can that help if fstab isn't updated yet?

>>103171162
Blkid doesn't read the fstab it reads the UUID of the block device and any partitions and filesystems residing in it

>>103171194
>>103171162
By the way, if you're using Arch or happen to have an Arch install nearby they have a genfstab script that will do the right thing for you.

I pirated it. I'm at 10. But today windows had to restart for a very important update, obviously, and when I checked what was, it was that mind-numbing AI bullshit of copilot. And on 2025 they want me to throw my computer to the trash because it doesn't meant the requirements of their new shiny OS. My computer is not great, but it's still functional. I could buy whatever stupid fucking piece they want me to buy, but the AI, all this bullshit they are pushing on me.... I'm getting tired. I'm thinking of just installing linux mint and keep 10 for non important stuff or offline.

I can't deal with Microsoft anymore.

>>103172593
Never seen someone do that but the benefits are pretty clear, you get the XFCE suite of programs alongside the advantage of tiling window management. That way you don't have to fuck with i3bar or whatever it's called, all applets you use, having to figure out file managers and other things.

>>103165614

If you have to ask, no. 99% the cause was your compositor, amdgpu, or mesa. xwayland barely does anything for fullscreen 3D programs.

I'm having bugs with Firefox after upgrading yesterday (new version is 132.0.2-2)

Anybody else having issues?

I think it's to do with the find box. If I open and close the find box then some of the issues seem to go away. The issues are these:
>keys don't work as normal, they seem to trigger bizarre actions
>pages sometimes scroll back to the top randomly
>home and end keys just don't work at all

>>103169704
xfs because you still have reflink. zfs is the fastest of the bloatmax checksum accounting filesystems, but they all have pretty similar overhead. If one is way too slow you probably don't want any of them.

>>103169704
ZFS is just as "slow" as BTRFS. ext4 is the standard/default choice if you're aiming for simplicity but you'd have to run it on top of mdraid or lvm both of which are garbage.

If you're okay with using an experimental filesystem then Bcachefs might be better than dealing with that crap.

What is the purpose of using this, instead of installing Debian directly?

>>103174310
It's supported by Mint. This is their backup plan for when Ubuntu goes to shit. Arguably this plan should be enacted sooner, considering the amount of fuckery Canonical does and how much they have to do to unfuck it.

i downloaded an image from xitter tht has an embedded color profile, used waifu2x ncnn vulkan to upscale it, but it removed the color profile. how do i extract it and apply it to the new image? gimp tells me about the embedded profile, but just gives me the option to ignore it or to convert it to srgb.

That's what you get for using PackageKit crap and/or an immutable distribution. Good thing Systemd is working on soft-reboot support because the problem of rebooting got so bad we now need to fake it in software.

Thankfully, I'm a happy Gentoo user so have never once been bothered by this. I never ever have to reboot.

What's the advantage of this setting again? The system won't break if the power goes out mid update?

>>103174828
Updates get applied in one go at startup/reboot like Windows traditionally does it so your Firefox won't fuck up if you update it without restarting it first.

Basically, it makes sure of "system stability" by not breaking the system deliberately, and by design (don't do the update if you don't want this), by upending and replacing the system in one go.

>>103174847
That's not to say that every update will break something, if you don't do this, either. Just that the potential is there if you have a mismatch between the replaced programs on-disk and the programs loaded in memory and then don't go and restart everything.

If you restart whatever needs to be restarted then there's no issue with applying updates without a reboot.

Windows Server Core without UI has always existed

>>103174906
That's designed for iOT use like the Raspberry Pi, etc, although nobody seriously uses it. Windows Server is the real big boy OS, and it comes with a GUI because the tard admins that use this shit wouldn't be able to administer it otherwise. It's a huge waste of resources.

Fair enough. It's been a long time since I last looked at Windows Server, nobody uses it for anything serious except Active Directory. The last time I played about this shit would have been before then and it installed a desktop by default.

They should seriously get rid of it, performance aside, it's also a security risk. Just add a web management UI, that's what all the Linux distros are doing nowadays (Cockpit, etc).

If it's optional, why was it in the default install I did?
Are you expected to remove it? Then again, nowadays you'd probably provision your server with automation. I never played with that too much other than being aware that it was something you could do by painstakingly editing the .iso image and placing certain files on it, etc.

>>103175011
>default install I did?
Its never the default option, see this image >>103174948
You have to manually chose the gui or the ISO you downloaded had an ei.cfg file wich tells the iso to not ask and just install whatever is configured on that file.
No official iso has that as the default.

What if I were to do a GPU passthrough and run a pirated game that had a virus on it? Could it permanently infect my GPU and it's firmware?

also why doesnt my windows 11 iso boot from ventoy?

>>103175385
Gamescope can do super resolution. I believe you can also use Xrandr to make Xorg render at a higher resolution (in Wayland it has to be done by the compositor, like, e.g, gamescope does).

>>103175424
yea, you can do this easily with X

xrandr --output <output> --scale-from <resolution>

so like if you're at 1920x1080 and specify "--scale-from 3840x2160", then you'll get a 3840x2160 framebuffer scaled down to 1920x1080
it's totally arbitrary, you can do non-square pixels or upscaling with it as well. in fact --scale-from is just one shortcut/application of --transform, which is much more powerful
