Use case?

running obs as root? is it a good idea? my pc isn't top tier so people say it improves obs performance but some people say it's unsafe. Can i get hacked because I ran obs as root?

How I set the correct resolution during the boot process? When I boot from the Arch Live ISO, the systemd-boot menu looks sharp and runs at full resolution but after finishing my installation, everything looks like completely wrong and runs at 800x600 until I hit the tty.

you shouldnt use spaces unless you like pain in your ass. You need an fstab line with options and fsck values. like uuid='123a-4567b-890 /mnt/disk4 fstype defaults,noatime 0 2 research the options. They are the ones separated by commas. You can use the device path in place of the uuid like /dev/sdc1, but they can change. I prefer to use uuid. it doesnt change unless the drive is reformatted.

compare your conf file to others you have access to. What changes have you made? I use resolved for dot

So I switched over to linux a few months ago, mint. 21.3 I think. I've neglected updates because when I would do them regularly they would break bottles apps. Anyway so I'm sitting on a ton of updates but when I run them my grub changes. Instead of being just 21.3 cinnamon, it also lists virginia. Using either, any kernel version boots to busybox.

I ran a live disk and ran a timeshift back from Aug, but I cannot figure out wtf is going on. Anyone have any idea? I did the fsck stuff and nothing is bad.

virginia is the codenmae for 21.3 linux mint. you can find out which version with cat /etc/issue. Download all updates for the current version before you try to upgrade to 22. What is bottles? Sounds like you pulled in something that you shouldnt have. Mint 22 is out now.

>>103339365
Well before it would just boot into mint. Now it boots to busybox. Selecting either the cinnamon entry or the virginia entry. Before the grub only had the cinnamon entry and would just boot. I get cinnamon is the desktop environment and virginia is the version alias. But the grub didn't always have two options written it is weird. Tried the current kernel I have and all old versions I had on both entries. Neither get to mint only busy box.

Snapcraft has some software that isn't on Flathub, or software that is verified/trusted whereas on Flathub it's unverified. Getting software straight from the developer or someone you know you can trust instead of a rando is g o o d. It can fill in that gap nicely.
The best beginner distro ever would have a software store that integrates both Flathub and Snapcraft and would prioritize searches like this
>1. Flathub (verified)
>2. Snapcraft (verified/star developer)
>3. Flathub (unverified)
>4. Distro's repository (probably Ubuntu or Debian so it'll be old)

>>103336853
The Linux kernel? Micro stutters are frequently caused by the shitty scheduler giving CPU or I/O, etc, time to some other process at the wrong time and then you get these hitches.

I would try replacing your kernel with something else that uses a different scheduler. There's also sched_ext which is a pluggable scheduler allowing people to reprogram the scheduler at runtime using BPF. A lot of people are experimenting with that.

Turn it back on and never listen to anyone again that tells you to disable IPv6. You are literally turning off half of the Internet when you do that.

I doubt your issue is in anyway related to IPv6.

>>103337567
This is normal. IPv6 has link-local addresses which are local to the interface only. The interface id is needed to know which network interface to send the traffic out of since there are no routes added for link local connections.

Could GNU/Linux prosper from more compilers for older languages, since it's used by hobbyists on desktop?
I know, Linux kernel is probably in top 3 most important pieces of software ever written. Fact above still holds.
Should there be more LLVM/QBE/alt. compilers for languages like Autocode, Mark, Fortran, Pascal, Modula?
GNU covered some of them, gfortran, there's that fpc too (it sucks), but B, COBOL and other compilers would be cool.
Also, gfortran (and even flang) generate terrible machine code, image related, writing Fortran parser in F90.

>>103344948

>>103344705
GNU COBOL is a thing, you know
anyway there most definitely are compilers for plenty of old meme languages, more or less any one you can name, and hobbyists do dink around with them. They might well not be in the repos of your chosen distro because not enough people care to package them, but if you like this sort of thing building from source is no big deal.

xfs + lvm is a good alternative to btrfs if your storage is fast relative to your CPU

are swap partitions and separate /home partitions still relevant? do you know any reading material regarding partition sizing and setup thats actually relevant today? most of what ive been able to read seems super out of date on partition sizing.

>>103345401
Not for most use cases. zram requires writeback devices to be partitions. If you run mainline kernels, there's a reliability argument for having an actual partition. Because swapfile support has to be implemented by each filesystem, and sometimes one of them breaks it.

>>103345375
>>xfs + lvm is a good alternative to btrfs
no checksums/self-healing
also btrfs subvolumes don't force you to statically size partitions like LVM does

>>103345401
you want some swap even if you have a ton of RAM (you might want to reduce the vm.swappiness sysctl, it's been 60 for like 30 years) but how you do it is up to you. A separate partition is the traditional way, but swapfiles work these days. (at least on ext4) A couple gigs is enough, it doesn't need to be "X times your RAM" or anything.

>>103345456
basically the filesystem has to be able to say "I'll wall off these blocks for the rest of the kernel to access directly". That's why it's fine on ext4 but on btrfs it disables everything that makes it worth using btrfs for; CoW, snapshots, checksums, multiple devices, etc. It has to be a hole in the filesystem basically.

Swap-over-NFS exists and some people go behind the kernel's back and put swap on a ZFS zvol, but that's really begging for trouble.

I do that on my system that has ZFS on root. It works fine, there's nothing special about ZFS volumes.

Swap over NFS is just stupidity though.

>>103342165
>just ask the developers
If it was that easy there'd be no unverified apps. You think the VLC, DolphinEmu, Steam, Xemu, MPV, etc. devs haven't been asked before?

>>103346520
I'm sure they have been asked before. Perhaps they should follow the steps to gain ownership:
https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission#someone-else-has-put-my-app-on-flathubwhat-do-i-do

If they aren't interested in doing that then my statement stands. There is zero reason why Spotify couldn't publish to Flathub themselves as a verified app. The community already did the work of unpacking their .snap package for them and placing the files into the right place.

>>103346572
It's also beneficial for them to do this too because they then have control over it and it gets marked as something official. Without that you get retards that spread disinformation about the risks of using a knock-off "unverified" app even if in reality it may be identical to an official binary packaging that upstream publishes anyway (as is the case with Steam and Spotify, etc).

>>103346658
To be clear, these concerns aren't completely unfounded but that way to address that would be to "verify" individual commits/hashes in the os-tree repo.

Mint could for example publish a list of hashes for each Flatpak app that they've verified themselves as being safe to use (here "safe" doesn't mean "has no malware" but rather "uses official upstream sources") and then have their software manager check that list. This requires doing actual work though which they don't want to do, so rather they disable fetching unverified apps altogether which leads to people thinking an app doesn't exist (unless they discover the checkbox to show unverified apps).

>>103340950
NTA, how do I do this on Proton Experimental?

>>103346572
This is why Snapcraft's "star developer" thing is good. Since some apps are never going to be verified anyway because devs don't care, it's best to put the actual repository's staff in charge of it instead of a rando.

>>103346883
Having random developers is fine, it just needs to be reviewed first. They could use a model like Gentoo's GURU repository.

Anyone can request access to be a contributor (you just have to file a bug on bugs.gentoo.org and give them your name, email and ssh key).
They give you commit access to a dev branch and only that branch.
Actual developers (not contributors) have merge access and can review commits in the dev branch and choose to merge them into the main branch if they're okay.

I don't know if Github roles are flexible enough to do that though.

I did a bunch of thing mostly installing and uninstalling synaptics. Now suddenly it's working again with or without synaptics. However now I can't wake up the laptop with the touchpad! wtf is going on.
I did some edits in grub but I changed it back to how it was because the changes made my keyboard stop working. Looking through the terminal history the only thing suspicious is /sbin/rmmod i2c_hid && /sbin/modprobe i2c_hid which i don't know what does and it returned an error when I tried it during the touchpad not working.

Is there any harm in installing Mesa libraries/drivers if you have an nvidia card and are already using the official nvidia driver? I know thye're supposed to be for mesa, but the last time I tried it it seemed to give better performance than the nvidia-privided driver. I don't know why.

No, it's just a generic 3D library. You probably have it brought in by other packages already.

Ideally you'd have had Ethernet installed in the first place. You can install it flat along the ground, hidden in conduit or if that's too ghetto for you, you can piggyback off of your electrical wiring with Powerline adapters or if you have coaxial MoCA:

I've been a full time loonix user for awhile, and KDE for some years now and I've only just recently finally gotten around to getting this down.
It's pretty easy, it's a matter of writing a desktop file in the right directory and finding out the mime types of the files you want work with.
For example the touch file/directories command in my screenshot here will do what it says and touch the file or directory you've right clicked on. Save touchfile.desktop (name doesn't matter, just needs to end with .desktop) to ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/ The contents of the desktop file are the following:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=edit-redo
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=all/all;
Actions=touchfile
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel

[Desktop Action touchfile]
Exec=touch "%f"
Icon=edit-redo
Name=Touch Files/Directories

You might need to run kbuildsycoca6 to reload after making a new desktop file, then it should work. The place you put your command/shell script would be the Exec= line. Change Name= accordingly as well.

You can make mounts in a GUI, it's not the 2000s anymore. Everyone uses fstab anyway because text files are comfy and it allows websites to give generic instructions without having to write about every point and click GUI in the world (if they had to do that they'd probably include screenshots for GNOME and that's it. It's too tiresome to do that for every desktop)

When I alt tab out of a fullscreen game I can't interact with it anymore when I alt tab back. It's still running fine, in some cases I can click on stuff, but keyboard and most mouse controls don't work. Anyone know what this might be about?

I'm trying to move some VMs on my NAS from one dataset to another. I used virt-manager's clone option, which mostly worked, but the ocluster size changed from the original, which is bad for ZFS transfer speeds and hardware. Could I just keep all my config files for the new copied vm (which were generated by virt-clone and I've verified are the same except for MAC and directories), copy in the qcow2 image from the original vm's dataset, and rename it to the copied qcow2's name (so it would line up with libvirt's configs)?

Apologies if this was long winded. I also considered ZFS send/recv, but that seems unnecessary here.

>>103353030

Any reports from experience?

>>103354372
Depends on what you want to do, I guess. The installer is ugly and simple for everything except the partiotoner, which is an actual nightmare. It defaults to 1 gig of swap no matter what (???). That learnlinuxtv guy has a decent guide on the basics, but doesn't go into the partitioner really.
I used this video to understand the partitioner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMCFQwgtN-g [Embed]

>>103354446
Unrelated, but with 16Gb or RAM I don't think I've ever hit swap, and I assume 16Gb is fairly common.
What do people do that they manage to hit it?

>>103354468
VMs are an incredibly easy way to use all your RAM, especially if you're running ZFS which intentionally uses as much RAM as it can (called ARC RAM). I'm >>103354335 and I regularly max out my 16 gigs running VMs, and shit starts getting thrown in the swap. At least I got a good deal on another 16 gigs for black Friday, so hopefully there will be less issues with 32 gigs.

>>103354444
The vast majority of HDMI ports on graphics cards and motherboards are output/source only. You need a sink port. Some motherboards have them, but might use them for USB-C related purposes. Otherwise you'll need a capture card.

>>103354595
>The vast majority of HDMI ports on graphics cards and motherboards are output/source only.
This what I read and hear everywhere. But it cannot be actually true. This has to be more a software/certificate thing, not how mainboards/graphic cards are designed hardware-wise.
I mean if I buy an external capture card? How am I supposed to get the signal than into my notebook?

>>103354646
All display ports function on the source->sink model. VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP. Incidentally so does USB, one end acts as the "host", another as a "device". Don't let the universal connectors fool you.

Bi-directionality is implemented for side channels only, like DDC or ethernet.

>>103354679 (Me)
>Incidentally so does USB
And by this I mean kinda; USB is always bidirectional, but a USB host can't (normally) communicate with another host, and a device can never communicate with another device, which is why OTG exists allowing a device (table, phone) to act as host to another device.

>>103354679
I don't know much about the HDMI protocol but simply by looking at the pins it looks to me that it is set up by the I2C connection which on serves as transmitter and which one serves as receiver. Just by this alone I think that it should be possible to change this. The question is whether or not you can access the controller's memory from the OS.

>>103354679
>Incidentally so does USB, one end acts as the "host
I have a video grabber with an USB connector and vlc even recognizes it as input on its own, simply when the OS loads the driver module. So it's not possible that USB ports are designed as output only by hardware design.
If you don't get a video signal via USB, it's either a software issue or you have a really weird USB port

>>103354797
>but simply by looking at the pins
Think about what happens with the wires on the other end of the cable.

USB was a silly comparison on my part, I was trying to convey how with USB one side must act as a host and the other as a device otherwise they can't communicate, much like one side of HDMI must be a source and the other a sink.

>>103349045
sauce?

>>103354845
>>103354845
>Think about what happens with the wires on the other end of the cable.
It's a simple I2C bus system connection so the pins are connected symmetrically: DATA to DATA, GND to GND, Clock to Clock. Of course there has to be determined which one serves as a master and which one as a slave. But this cannot be the issue. After all, if you recall the original problem: receiver box which is usually connected to a TV/monitor. So which one would rather be master which one be slave? After all you usually select the input on your TV, don't you? So it would be simply common sense that the I2C controller of the cable box is natively set to slave mode.

>USB was a silly comparison on my part,
No, it wasn't. It was more accurate than you may have thought though. The way USB works is rather simple. What makes it complicated is the way the connectors are programmed.

Maybe I should point out that I'm not a programmer myself but I work at a laboratory and we have often the problems that we need to get various data into a PC, for many connectors there isn't even a native solution so we build connectors ourselves. And this worked fine when we used really old PC wtih serial/parallel ports, but ever since we were doomed to switch to USB for the sake of interoperability the huge problems began. And therefore I can say for sure that the reason why USB is complicated is the programming. We often had techies complain about this stuff.

That's the way you wanted it, right? The "enp" naming does exactly that.

>>103355637
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the whole point of this enpXsY shit to fix that issue with the ethN naming scheme? What's the point if populating a slot with an unrelated device shifts everything down? If it was named eth0 it probably would've stayed eth0. It's literally worse, what the fuck.

>>103355687
>wasn't the whole point of this enpXsY shit to fix that issue with the ethN naming scheme?
To some degree, now we have PCIe slots instead of totally random numbers so that's something.

Define "issue".

>>103355731

Because MACs can be changed without removing the controller or rebooting.

>>103355852

Sure but how's that relevant? There's still "the MAC", the one the device comes with, can't change that.

You don't need spyware like that, changing the MAC is an OS feature, it's accesible by basic tools.

>that they stay fixed even if hardware is added or removed (i.e. no reenumeration takes place)
Well that was a fucking lie.

>>103356498
To be fair, they try their damn best to but they have no control over the underlying topology. I've had network cards re-number themselves after changes made in the BIOS before. Maybe using the MAC address even if you end up with unwieldy names like

enx78e7d1ea46da

1. Log in as root or through your user account using "su -"
2. Once you're in root, enter "sudo adduser [user] sudo"

Your user account should now have sudo privileges.

>>103357004
If you for whatever reason are not in the sudoers file anymore, you could log into the root account directly and add your user account this way.
You can try "su" and switch to root that way.
That doesn't always work, on ubuntu I had to do "sudo su" in the past, which defeats the purpose here.
In that case, switch to a fresh tty via ctrl+alt+F1-7 and log into root there. The username would be root and the password whatever root password you have, which you hopefully know.
If you don't know the root password, you're cooked, unless you want to manipulate your system from another bootable partition.

how do i debloat mint easily?
removing all the snapd and its dependencies on xubuntu will be a bigger PITA than debloating mint right?
i need a justwerks distro for my old thinkpad

sysvinit is the default in slackware

how do you guys manage your suckless software? i mean dwm, st, dmenu, etc.
1) do you clone directly from their git repo and apply patches manually?
2) do you keep your own patched version on your github/git server?
3) do you just save the patches and apply them with a script?

i'm leaning toward number 2 but i have no idea how to get bug fixes after i have my copy of the repo (since it's not a fork).
i also think that in the long run it may cause problems with patches that interfere with each other.

I've got two laptops, both running ubuntu 24.04 (sorta). The lenovo one uses KDE neon, the dell one uses MATE.
I can pair this bluetooth mouse I have to the lenovo machine, but the dell doesn't seem to notice it when I search for bluetooth devices using the default bluetooth GUI application. do I need to install additional drivers or something?

>>103354280
Seems to have failed at the same spot. Unfortunately, I'm going to need severe handholding in order to apply that... Wherever it needs to be. There's probably a Guix specific way to do it I bet.

How can I make wg-quick autocomplete the interface name? Does it not autocomplete because /etc/wireguard directory permissions. What's an easier way to use wg-quick to manage interfaces?

>>103358803
By autocomplete I mean if I start typing and then press tab.

never tried casting but there is an icon for it so atleast some support exists.

wait nvm,
it is faster to purge snapd than debloating linux mint

What happens when a disk fails in a btrfs raid setup? I was trying to simulate a failure with loop devices but I didn't know what I was doing.

My Home Assistant image doesn't like my Guix system, and I'm thinking it's due to a lack of EFI support. Excuae the leddit: /r/GUIX/comments/s18slc/virtmanager_and_ovmf/

So how did he do it? Did he install the ovmf-x86-64 and put the "extra special" thing... Where? Inside (service libvirt-service-type) somehow?

>>103359403
yeah, but then you're gonna have to source the DEBs that Canonical has deprecated yourself

What's "Home Assistant"?
>ovmf-x86-64
Are you running virtual machines? Yeah you need Tiano Core firmware for UEFI machines. Then you specify the firmware file AND a file for storing EFI variables.

>>103361373
answer the question

>>103361432
GNOME isn't, but Ubuntu itself is/was. it's not Void Linux woke but probably middle of the road nowadays. Back in the day they pushed literal naked black people as the default pape, the desktop enviroment associated with the distro (GNOME) probably has to toe the line aswell

Is there a way for webms and mp4s to show their thumbnails in the filepicker like pngs and jpgs?

>>103361546
Yes. If we file a ticket on the GNOME Bugzilla right now, then they may finally merge the patch in 10-15 years.

Ah, so this is the final hurdle I must overcome in order to master QEMU/KVM on Guix... It'll surely take me months to figure it out. Wish me luck, anon. Why I chose this over Proxmox will forever be a mystery to me. I must be insane. I'm even willing to forgo useful knowledge like docker containers in favour of native containers or alternatives just to be contrarian I guess. Heh.
