What do you suggest then?

I can't figure out how to run emacs as a daemon, I think there's something broken somewhere.
If I disable the service, reboot and check systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled there is no emacs service present, but if I type "emacsclient -nc" in the terminal nothing shows up, and emacsclient -n for some reason opens up the CLI version (again, how does it open if there's no service enabled??).
Something, somewhere, is somehow enabling the daemon presumably before X since it doesn't work with the GUI version.

So on Windows there's a limit to how many folders it will remember the sorting option for before reverting back to the default on older folders. You have to edit the registry to increase it.

Does Linux have a similar limitation and if so what would be the fix?

How's Linux on SBCs, customizability-wise?
I've taken an interest in SBCs now that there are RISC-V options available like the VisionFive 2, but even in the case of RPis, every time I watch a youtube video of someone "running Linux" on these things it's always flashing an SD card with an officially-provided Linux image.
I want to run Gentoo on the thing. I want to cross-compile for it from my main Gentoo machine.
What's preventing me from doing this?
>but why would you
Autism. And boredom.

>>103217726
what is a sorting option? This thing would be part of your file manager, and Linux has many options for these so you'd have to check for each and every one.
You definitely won't have to edit the registry though since that doesn't exist.

If you want the same feature on KDE you'll have to add a dot file to each and every one of your folders with your customization options :)

Look for their vendor provided kernel and find the source for it. Hopefully it's not some device tree crap and it can boot a standard kernel image, but if it is then you'll need their fork or to copy the binaries from their image, etc.

Does anyone have any idea why lightdm would lock my PC randomly at 5:01 AM and then AGAIN at 5:51 AM, after being idle for hours, when I have auto suspend/lock completely turned off, have no keybinds to dm-tool lock (I use slock), and haven't updated my system in a week. Its also been on for a week and this is the first time its done this. I turned my PC off after the second time, and turned it back on around 6:25 AM, and it hasn't locked a single time since then. I'm on Arch running Awesome WM. I've gone through my journal and nothing odd happened, it just randomly used light-locker as if I had run dm-tool lock except there's no instance of that being run as far as I can tell. This has never happened on this install and I disabled all of this stuff years ago. It sounds silly but it creeped me out and its driving me insane that I can't figure out WHY it happened. I've looked through my systemd timer files and can't find any kind of culprit.

Also, not really Linux related but any ideas why my 3200MHz RAM only works as a single stick? As soon as I put the second stick in, XMP stops working and it's stuck at 2666Mhz. I have them on DIMM 0 and DIMM 2 (so on the same channel). I'm assuming either faulty RAM sticks or mobo/BIOS bug.

if your system breaks and you can't roll back you can do it from a live environment, so have a live USB with linux mint or some shit ready

I had Linux installed on one device, /dev/sde. Two partitions:
/dev/sde1 (FAT32 500MB systemd-boot partition)
/dev/sde2 (/ filesystem BTRFS)

I got a new NVME and created:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 (FAT32 500MB partition)
/dev/nvme0n1p2 (BTRFS)

I used the btrfs filesystem replace command to move /dev/sde2 to /dev/nvme01n1p2 which seems like it worked perfectly, but I'm a bit confused what I should do to move my bootloader from /dev/sde1 to nvme0n1p1

I updated my /etc/fstab with the new UUIDs. Not sure if I may also need to update a UUID related to systemd-boot, in the entires after copying?

A few years ago I tried dual booting Win 10 and Mint (I think?) but I got a new CPU and somehow in updating the kernel things got completely fucked.

I'd put Mint on a smallish SSD why Win was on a bigger spinning disk. I found out recently that I can't boot into Windows if I remove the SSD. Any ideas of what I can do to remove the dependency on the SSD? I remember I had to do something with grub, but that's about it.

Is it safe to use a SATA SSD without DRAM for distro hopping and testing purposes?

Eventually it might become the main drive for an old pre-2010 desktop as a backup pc. Would put some older games on it and use it for digital art stuff.

I want to install them directly to test the real performance in games and other software, not just through live USB or a virtual machine.

You'll need a bit more than Sysv when you start doing anything serious

>>103223136
Thanks. My current distro tester is an old HDD from 2008 (from that same backup pc), so at this point I figure anything is probably an upgrade. Just wanted to make sure it was safe since some reviewers warned about not having DRAM being bad for an OS drive. As long as it doesn't affect stability, I'm not too bothered by a performance hit.

The default color/saturation/brightness/gamma/contrast settings are definitely different. There's also the different font, font size and anti-aliasing settings you can try adjusting. I'm dual-booting Windows and Mint, and Mint is generally darker with more contrast and a bit blurrier, which did strain my eyes until I adjusted them. I have to turn up my brightness settings on my monitor and adjust zoom to be a little stronger since it's too blurry. And the anti-aliasing isn't as crisp as Windows.

>>103223425
It's honestly amazing how little Sysv provides and then even more amazing when you consider the fact that Devuan still thinks it's just fine. I know they also provide support for better init systems but they still don't make them the default.

I may be retarded but what is the correct way to return the first element in a folder on command line? I know that there's multiple arrangements and depending on how you sort it there can be different results for 'the first' but in that case it really doesn't matter as long as it excludes . and ..
I can think of multiple work around like using >for i and simply return the filename and immediatly break but there has to a more default method for this, no?
I am using folders which contain a big number of files so that even ls or rm * prompt an error message.

you shouldn't have anything that can't be regenerated in /boot, so just run "bootctl install" and re-run dracut/reinstall your kernel

Looping is probably the best:

$ (cd /;for f in * ; do echo "$f"; done | head -1)

That should be instant because the call to

head -1

I'm asking because I'm not sure how for exactly works, whether it just takes the first element, does stuff and continues with the next until it finds that there is no next any more. But this is what I thought rm * would do.

>>103224405
Pretty sure the effect should be the same. The loop won't do anything else after the break.

>>103224412
Yeah, I just wasn't sure if >for doesn't make a list in which it stores every element to prevent getting trapped if the loop keeps constantly producing new files which then again would feed the for loop further.
Pretty sure this initial listing (I'm not sure if this term is correct or not) is the problem that causes problems with ls when trying to handle too many elements.

DRAM-less means nothing for safety, it affects performance and should barely affect endurance. There is an increase in reading due to no cache for block allocation tables, but writing stays almost the same, some small % of sector rewrites might've been absorbed by a cache, but that's it.

it would be better if there was a /bin split between base system programs and programs explicitly installed by your package manager like how the bsds do it by having all the package manager stuff installed into /usr/local to separate it from the base system

>>103226440
not him but the issue is how you define if a package should be in "base" or "addon" directories?
like in windows this is easy, anything that came with windows is "base" stuff, and anything that isn't is "addon". but more importantly, on windows you can't change the base system, you can disable a handful of predetermined things sure, but the vast majority of the base system is both set in stone and present on any windows installation
on linux though, everything is componentised, and replaceable. including what came with the installation. like as an example, would grub be a base package? would be reasonable to assume so. but then what if the user removes it an installs systemd-boot instead? or does an efi stub kernel with no bootloader? do those become part of "base"? labelling grub as base now seems arbitrary, like a whole different folder structure for programs that were preinstalled, but otherwise as interchangeable as user applications? for what purpose?

>>103225731
Basically core unix utils and stuff for the base system should be installed to /bin and /sbin if it requires root
Everything else should be in /usr
https://man.openbsd.org/hier
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hier
https://man.archlinux.org/man/hier.7
There's no real consensus on what should and shouldnt be in /bin but anything would be better than just flooding /usr/bin and making it impossible to look for anything without scripting it.

>>103226572
Grub wouldnt be a base package, no. Same for systemd-boot. It would be more for things that the system cant really run without when booted such as the shell, coreutils, networking(as in iproute/ip, ping, etc. not a network manager), shutdown/reboot, the init itself obviously.

many distros do have a set of packages which you can't really replace without diverging enough from the distro as to break most packages
like in most distros you can't swap out glibc or remove coreutils without breaking everything, so sure, within the confines of a specific distro there are packages that are irreplaceable as far as the distro is concerned, but this is usually a very, very small number of packages

Thanks, I knew that about the regular DUAL DATA RATE memory, but I forgot it also applies here.
But it's still something fishy about this GPU (or so it seems), for some reason it gets "throttling" in some games, and it won't go past 50 degrees Celsius and 100W power consumption.

I checked out the flowchart but I'm still a bit lost.
I'm looking for a distro that'll run libre office (or some other spreadsheet software), connect to the internet for light use, and print to a physical printer with minimal setup and low hardware requirements. I'm inclined to guess that most of the popular distros can handle this but I figured I'd ask first because last time I set up a little linux machine it took days to get all the drivers for things like printers working.

I just want a machine that boots up fast, lets me enter data quickly, doesn't fuck me over with automatic updates and built-in ads like windows does, and doesn't try to charge me a subscription for half the services.

>>103224470

find / -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 | head -1

Is about as fast as you're going to get in a shell script. You still have to wait for head to terminate and send SIGPIPE back to find, but afaik find doesn't bother reading the entire directory before starting to list like the shell does. If that doesn't work, you can always us a short C program to read exactly the 3rd entry after . / .. and nothing else:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>

int main (void) { 
  DIR *dp;
  struct dirent *ep;
  dp = opendir ("./");
  if (dp != NULL) {
    int count = 0;
    while ((ep = readdir (dp)) && (count < 2))  
      count += 1;
    puts (ep->d_name);
    (void) closedir (dp);
  } 
}

That was just lifted from gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Simple-Directory-Lister.html

>>103226819
Most of the distros with a lightweight DE would do that for you, but you need to research how to install drivers on your particular printer beforehand. Also, for LibreOffice use I would recommend something more "bleeding edge", like Fedora, in "stable" distros' repositories LO tends to be outdated (except openSUSE Leap, for some reason).

i happened to pick up a 6600 just the other day, and yea, it throttles with temperature/power easily
running furmark vk specifically it hits a current limit for me at around 100W, even though i pushed that limit to 120W
i can get a bit more performance out of it by undervolting it a bit, this reduces power usage/heat generated and so allows itself to push its' clock a bit higher

Gnome on Wayland feels super smooth but on x11 it looks really stuttery, things like resizing the window look really odd, like it's frameskipping or something.

>X11 is better for input delay and performance over wayland
A quick search tells me that the difference is from torn frames that are visible on x11, whereas wayland has a kind of forced vsync, is that right?
I'll also check out gamescope, thank you.

>>103227486
Yeah wayland forces vsync to be enabled to prevent screentearing which can be a performance loss
I think theres work being done to allow an option for it to be disabled

>>103227486
>>103227550
>forced vsync
I keep hearing this, and I won't pretend to know the technical details behind it.
But the 1 thing I can say is that whatever is happening cannot be anything like the typical vsync you experience in games.

I am very into fast paced FPS games, and turning on vsync is a laggy fucking mess. But I play on wayland and it feels like games should feel when vsync is off. There is no mouse delay or anything.
So if wayland is using some kind of forced vsync, as people say, it must be a very different kind of vsync than what games use. To me it just feels like it has no vsync at all.

>>103227550
>I think theres work being done to allow an option for it to be disabled

It will probably stay fucked. X11 colour management is very poor. They just force everything into the same colour space and pray and hope that works.

With Wayland we should finally get proper colour management once they push the protocol for doing that over the finish line (there's already some experimental support in GNOME and KDE though).

>>103230591
>With Wayland
>once they
2 more weeks

>>103230591
I'm not really sure why or how it happened but I don't think it was X11's fault. It's like the wrong color profile was in use even though I've never even messed with it ever before and was set up with the default one. I'm not really interested on how this happened so I didn't dig into it.
The colors were heavily saturated and dark, but just some of them in some places? Pictures in firefox looked almost creepy from the saturation, while my desktop wallpaper was fine. Anyway, switching to a different color profile than default then rebooting fixed it.
I've used this same monitor on a different PC, same distro and very similar (but older, that was last year) packages and never seen this issue before.

Clearly, you haven't been following development closely enough. Yes, it may not be done in two weeks but KDE and GNOME having preliminary support is the first step in getting the protocol over the final hurdle.

so i've been on arch kde wayland for a few days now and i just can't figure out the source of this memory leak. i think it's gotta be kde as this was not happening with xfce. how do i actually find out the source?

hey anons I've got a 1060 still going but its time to upgrade and give him some well earned rest. I want to switch to AMD. If anyone has switched recently could you let me know your experience? I've never changed hardware on linux. I'm on popOS nvidia version right now.

Retard here. I wrote a dumb script with nautilus/GNOME in mind so that when I right click an audio file and select the script, I can just convert the flac/m4a/wav into mp3 and put it inside an mp3 folder so it's less cluttered/easier to find.
I'm trying to rework it so that I can convert whole folders. This is what I have so far.

#!/bin/bash
for i in "$@"; do
    if [ -f "$i" ]; then
        mkdir mp3
        for i in "$@"; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -q:a 0 mp3/"${i%.*}.mp3"; done
        notify-send "Done!"

    elif [ -d "$i" ]; then 
        mkdir "$i"/mp3
        cd "$i"
        for f in *.flac *.m4a *.wav; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -q:a 0 mp3/"${f%.*}.mp3"; done
        notify-send "Done!"
    fi
done

So this does work with folders but it has the limitation of not being able to convert nested folders. So let's say an album has like a CD1 or CD2 folder, it won't convert the files inside that, but I'm not sure how to tackle this. Does anyone have any ideas?

>but anything would be better than just flooding /usr/bin and making it impossible to look for anything without scripting it.

Scripting isn't exactly difficult and since binaries are strewn all over the place you'd need to do that anyway. If you want to find anything. There's no single place for all binaries.

On a Gentoo system you can do something like this to list all binaries belonging to all packages on the system:

$ find -L /var/db/pkg -name CONTENTS -print0 | xargs -P$(nproc) -r -0 -I{} /bin/sh -c 'p="{}";p="${p##\/var\/db\/pkg\/}";p="${p%%\/CONTENTS}";bins="$(awk "{print \$2}" {} | grep -E "^/(bin|sbin|usr/bin|usr/sbin)/")";[ -n "$bins" ] && printf "%s:\n%s\n\n" "$p" "$bins"'

Use a NULL_GLOB option and replace like line 4 or 10, do like

set -o errexit nullglob
for d in **/**/; do
(cd "$d" || return 1
ffmpeg -i "$f" -q:a 0 mp3/"${f%.*}.mp3");
done

if you just wrote a function to do your ffmpeg command, you could write a bunch of other shell code to change to whatever directories you want and call your function. If the **/**/ glob doesn't work the same as it does in zsh, (globs directories only) then understand the point is to use a glob matching directories with a */

>>103231927

(Prints the package name in bold and also lists its description)

It took me a while to understand your post since I didn't even know what a glob was (like I said in the beginning, I'm fucking retarded.) But I think I got it. I'm not sure I like the execution of this since there's like 3 loops going on but it does seem to work.

Depends on the game. From my experience, you can mod games like Skyrim/Fallout but you won't be able to use any ENB.

I would avoid using loops in the first place and use find + xargs.

Does something like this do what you want?

No ugly loops.

>>103232592

>>103232621
Should be %.* not %.flac:

>>103232592

>I would avoid using loops in the first place and use find + xargs.
I tried doing that initially but I couldn't get it to work, for loops seemed easier to work with since I'm not really someone who writes scripts/code regularly. What you posted does not really work for the use case I'm playing with.
if I'm on /home/music/artist1
and artist 1 has a folder called cd1 and a stray .flac file on the root directory it'll only convert the .flac in the root directory but not cd1 even if I selected to convert the folder with right click -> script
>>103232651

i've been using ZFS for years now and i'll be adding some storage and I was thinking about moving to LVM+ext4+luks because it's just so. fucking. slow. and unreliable
i use pretty much every feature it has to offer
>snapshots
>lz4 compression
>native encryption
>software raid in the future
>subvolumes (extensively)
>zfs send etc. for backup
can i recreate that setup? ideally i'd want to exclude certain directories from snapshots and have subvolumes have dynamic size allocation depending on where i need it

From what I can gather, all developers of GUI applications just independently decided to make middle mouse click act as CTRL+V specifically in the Linux versions of their software, even if it overrides the function that same button has on other platforms. Wtf?

Should you be running privacy.sexy on linux?

>>103233971
privacy.sexy is a Windows script

>>103233984
No, it's win/mac/linux

>>103234154
Well personally I'd think that using a script like that on a Linux install is pretty much unneeded.

>>103234160
I don't know why, it just removed diagnostic files mostly and kill ubuntu process.

Much better. Plasma 6 is a lot more stable than Plasma 5 at this point. All of the LTS distros that are still shipping dead Plasma 5 with dead Qt 5 (Qt 5 LTS is EOL) are doing it wrong.

>>103233984
>>103234154
What does it even do?

Seems like it just deletes cache and history because of course not remembering your commands and webpages loading slower is better for "privacy".

Maybe if you're the sort of schizo that loses sleep of immaterial things like that.

https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/blob/master/src/application/collections/linux.yaml

>>103234652
Also, if you are that sort of schizo I'd highly suggest a read-only medium for your OS or tmpfs.

>>103234652
When it comes to Windows usage it's just a script service that can make custom scripts that automatically set registry entries that disable telemetry collection and the like. Plenty of programs like that on there.
Personally I like using ShutUp10 instead, but installing answer files like UnattendedWinstall are also good.

>>103234694
I get why you'd want to use it on Windows, it obviously does a lot more data collection than Linux.

But deleting your Bash history and Firefox cache, really? I suppose you could argue that not having that data is better for your privacy (you can actually configure your shell not to save that)

>>103231908
Thanks, that's useful. For some reason I always thought that trap usage like this is a Bash feature and not usable from POSIX shell. I've been avoiding it all this time, I looked it up though and it works.

>>103234710
Yeah the usage of privacy.sexy on Linux does seem pretty schizo, but what can you do.

Damn Linux thread speaking about stability all the time but never defining it.
>>103234624
Who says Plasma 6 isn't stable? Whatever they mean by stability. If a distribution ships Plasma 6 and never upgrades to 7, doesn't that count as being "stable Plasma 6"?

>>103235512
When people ask about stability they mean the normal definition, i.e doesn't Krash.

They aren't talking about the molecular/chemical definition that Debian likes to use (i.e if it fizzes, it's bad. It needs to remain dying and unchanging forevermore)

What's the point of a Backport that's disabling features because you're shitty museum piece lacks the necessary components for it to be useful. Granted, rusticl and Nvk probably aren't a huge loss but in the future somebody will want to use them. Clover is also going away soon so Rusticl will be the only supported driver upstream for OpenCL.

20/411 is about 5%, the default reserved blocks value on ext4. The most likely scenario is that you have 5% of your disk free and that it's reserved for root.

>>103235512
generally speaking, "stable" means it works as intended
what it means in a given context can differ. different software or project define it how they like, mainly in terms of how much testing is done prior to calling something stable, since there isn't a practical objective line where you can call something stable. think about the difference between someone building a program, using it once and it worked for them so they call it stable, vs. releasing a program as unstable, letting hundeds of people use it for a year, and only then calling it stable. there's a difference, even in cases where no changes needed to be made. there's so many variables most of the time that you can only really throw time at it to be reasonably sure

>>103236158

This misses the point that on a non-merged system i can do a simple ls of /bin and /sbin to look up system commands instead of everything being flooded in /usr
When i say system commands, i mean like stuff for the base system like the coreutils and unix-utils such as getent or printenv, a niche command that barely gets used other than one or two use cases but you would never know existed unless you knew what to look for.

>>103235736
Doubt either rusticl or nvk are usable yet anyway. The problem is rust being shit to package in the first place since both golang and rust are anti-package manager programming languages

>>103233971
Not really
It doesnt do much in the first place, since linux doesnt need the same amount of shit tweaked as win or mac does.

>>103233200
what distro?
check your /etc/fstab, i think btrfs defaults to v2 when mounting if you dont specify anything

>>103233156
you might want to switch to zstd compression first and see if it does anything to help, i have a feeling it wont though
you might as well just switch over to btrfs+luks instead of ext4 since btrfs can basically do everything you want minus native encryption, which would be covered by luks
i dont think btrfs can do dynamic size allocation either

>>103230925
There's more desktops than just KDE and GNOME

How can I force portage to ignore a package?
KDE (phonon) insists on using phonon-vlc as it's backend, which pulls the whole VLC package. I don't use VLC, so I tried searching an alternative and found that there's a package (and luckily an overlay) that uses mpv instead. So I unmerged phonon-vlc, emerged phonon-mpv and masked phonon-vlc but whenever I want to update my system (with -auvDN @world) it forces me to reinstall phonon-vlc

[~] > sudo emerge -auvDN @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies    ... done!                       
Dependency resolution took 22.63 s (backtrack: 0/20).

[ebuild  N    #] media-libs/phonon-vlc-0.12.0-r1::gentoo  USE="qt5 qt6 -debug" 0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 0 KiB

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by media-libs/phonon-4.12.0-r4::gentoo[-minimal]
# required by kde-apps/dolphin-24.08.1::gentoo
# required by @custom-kde
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask/custom-main:
=media-libs/phonon-vlc-0.12.0-r1

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
      from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.

Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] 

I could emerge phonon with the minimal flag, but I don't know which features i'd be gimping by doing that and I'd rather be safe than sorry. And I also don't know if adding phonon-vlc to package.provided is a proper solution because phonon might still try to communicate with phonon-vlc instead of the mpv alternative I installed.

>>103238476
The usual way to do stuff like this is either a for loop, or preferably to use the find command. I don't know what your files are named like, or the directory structure, so you have to come up with your own find command.
Just make a find command that will print out all the files you want to modify. Once you have it, then to the end of that find command add the following:
>-exec sh -c 'touch -m -d @$(($(stat -c "%Y" '{}') + MODIFICATION_AMOUNT)) '{} \; -exec sh -c 'touch -a -d @$(($(stat -c "%Y" '{}') + ACCESS_AMOUNT)) '{} \;
For example to change all *.png files recursively:

find . -type f -name '*.png' -exec sh -c 'touch -m -d @$(($(stat -c "%Y" '{}') + MODIFICATION_AMOUNT)) '{} \; -exec sh -c 'touch -a -d @$(($(stat -c "%Y" '{}') + ACCESS_AMOUNT)) '{} \;

replace MODIFICATION_AMOUNT and ACCESS_AMOUNT by the number of seconds you want to change the timestamps by.

A advice against using Z:\Games.
Make something in your homedir and put that into the prefix as G:, like I said, some games have problems if the directory is bound into the prefix via Z: so it's a good idea to have G: anyway. And then you only need your users permissions.

Thinking about switching from iptables to nftables
Any opinions on this?

>>103240854
Just do it.

I just had a thought about Wine.

Maybe it is better for each app to be in their own prefix?

I've been thinking about how that could actually be implemented. Like, if you open an installer or something, it opens in a fresh prefix, something like .wine-XXXX, where XXXX is a random arrangement of letters or numbers, or maybe even a UUID. But what if you run a game patcher or some other installer that provides extra content to an already-installed program? How would Wine know whether or not a given installer or app is related to a program that was already installed and thus would belong to an already existing prefix?

Maybe it would be better for context menu options. One button for "Run in .wine" and one for "Run in a new Wine prefix".

There's also the matter of figuring out/remembering which prefix is which. For example, you have situations like Mass Effect or Lego Star Wars II where certain features are granted if save files for an earlier game are found in specific locations. The "best" thing you could do in this case would be setting up some symlinking...somehow...

snapshots: yes
lz4 compression: btrfs has zstd, lzo, and zlib. lzo is the high speed one, but ztd is probably the most popular, compressing better but is also very fast. zlib is obsolete
encryption: no, you'd have to layer it on top of luks or something instead
software raid: yes, it has very flexible raid, where you can convert between any configuration at any time even online, including single disc to raid and back and adding or removing any number of discs at a time, and using discs of different sizes. raid5/6 have caveats, so do some reading before touching that
subvolumes: yes

subvolumes are also dynamically-allocated, there no need to specify their size (actually i'm not sure you even can, i hear quotas don't work well, but i've never wanted it so i'm not sure)
