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.
>>103366052 (OP)Are there any web browsers that don't use a toolkit, but rather use libx11 or at most Xt?
>>103366090/etc/portage/patches not that I use Suckless shit anymore.

I need FOSS audioplayer that can change parameters per song and (i guess) save it somewhereUsecase is playlist that has songs with different sound levels, some are too quiet, some are too loud.Thanks
>>103366111Thanks. I can't believe I didn't write it down before.
>>103366052 (OP)Why all the hate for systemd?
>>103366148It does too much.
>>103366111>>103366147Ermmm...>Fast Light TOOLKIT
>>103366163Which just uses libx11 and Xt
>>103366171As far as dependencies go you're probably not going to get much less than that.
I'm using bottles to run some wine games which I'm getting good results.Wine updated though, and this made a mess of the bottles I created, is there a way to freeze bottles at certain runner or something?
>>103366102why?i like st.
>>103366415Pretty much every other terminal emulator does more and does it better.
>>103366415xterm is faster
Is there a way to ignore a string/multiple characters with Bash's globbing?[^0] can only do 1 character. My situation:I have a bunch of images: 01.jpg, 02.png, 03.jpgI want to convert them to a rar archive/cbr ignoring 01.jpg.I tried and googled a bunch of things, but I failed to find a solution.
>>103366447Never mind. https://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob#extglob> ls !(01.*)
>>103366428they do more of what?i like that the source code is small, it starts immediately and i can extend it however i like it.>>103366437what does it mean for a terminal to be fast?
>>103366573Pretty much every terminal you can download and use will start instantly. The difference is the others have far more features baked into them from scrollback, to tabs and split, to hyperlinks and even images!
>>103366598Also the boring stuff that Suckless would probably call bloat, like right-to-left direction support for non-English languages (don't use this myself, but surely some arab somewhere does), etc.
>>103366622Inferior cultures should not touch linux.
>>103366656Linux is for everyone. Get your politics out of here.Any serious Linux distro will care about things like this:https://github.com/mvidner/bidi-test
>>103366663>Any serious Linux distro will care about things like thisNo, not at all. If you use any language except English on your system, you're a subhuman.
>>103366598i don't need scrolling, tabs and split because i use tmux. i also dont care about images in the terminal.
>>103366694Well we stopped invading other countries so that's not going to change anytime soon. Even if you use the Nigger public license it doesn't prohibit non-whites from using it.You have to support these things anyway because a white man may happen across a document written in one of those languages. You can't just say "it's not English so I'm not going to support it". Some people have jobs that might require them to be able to read these documents.
>>103366719Well that's fucking great for you isn't it? Some people want these features though. Suckless is a byword for "I don't need features".
>>103366745i want to remind you that i originally asked how people manage their suckless software, you derailed the conversation telling me that i don't need to use suckless software.
>>103366758I said I used /etc/portage/patches and don't use Suckless software anymore. I didn't tell you to stop.
>>103366052 (OP)Whats the best filesystem to use for hosting vms?ZFS? BTRFS? ext4+lvm?
>>103366766ext4+lvm because you can use thin provisioning. I despise LVM as over-engineered garbage but this is one of those scenarios in which it's better.
>>103366437xterm is more bloated and has less config options than st
>>103366786What's it missing a config for? Most of the stuff you'd care about can be changed via XResources.
>>103366780How do i set that up if i want to have root on the same disk?Do i just pre-allocate enough space on the lvm for root and a separate one for home and then leave enough space for the vms?
>>103366811>if i want to have root on the same disk?You can have root plus your volume group on a single drive no problem>partition table ->>partition one (root filesystem)>partition two (LVM)
>>103366842Wouldn't it be better to put the root partition in the LVM?
>>103366862Sure, I was just assuming you wanted it separately.>"can I have root plus LVM?"
>>103366905I guess i worded it wrong. My only experience with LVM was setting it up for the old luks+lvm+ext4 setup before btrfs got mature enough.Basically i just need to allocate enough empty space for the vms after creating a large enough logical volume for the root and home volumes?
>>103366786dilate your patchfigs all you want but it's literally faster :^)
>>103366943>allocate enough empty space for the vms after creating a large enough logical volume for the root and home volumes?>allocate empty spaceWho allocates what? The LVM or your EXT4? I just do atruncate -s 10G /mnt/anime/VM-image.imgon my EXT4 and there's my 10 gig file for my virtual machine.
truncate -s 10G /mnt/anime/VM-image.img
>>103367039You can do this with BTRFS and ZFS too. With LVM you don't need to "allocate space", you just need to ensure there's enough space in the pool to allocate from and can use thin provisioning, effectively allowing you to over-provision space for VMs.I really have no idea how you're supposed to configure all of this though because I don't have much experience with LVM but the end result is that it's better than using ZFS or BTRFS. If you were asking about containers instead of VMs (where subvolumes can be used) I'd say go with BTRFS or ZFS instead.
>>103367039>Who allocates what?The LVM>I just do aArent .qcow files better than raw img?>>103367060I meant leaving empty space unused
>>103367103>I meant leaving empty space unusedI know what you meant, I was trying to drive home that you don't make .img files or qcow2 files like that with LVM. You can use volume groups, etc and then do the install on /dev/lvgblah or something like that, at least that's my understanding of how it works.
>>103367103>I meant leaving empty space unusedYou keep confusing me further. Can you paint the picture of the problem you are seeing? idk what to shoot at here.>>103367103>Arent .qcow files better than raw img?Nuisance they are.

Alright I've had enough with my inkjet printer, fucking thing is broken more often than not. I wanted to get a laser printer from brother. Is that one working fine with linux? I don't trust printer manufacturers with their drm subscription kike bullshit. It would be the Brother DCP-L2620DW. Will I get jewed with the toner?
>>103367309Looks good to me.Although I'd skip the LVM part altogether lmao>/homeYou'll curse your decision later as you got loads of non-/home-related stuff to place in that extra partition. Make it /mnt/anime instead, trust me.
Has anyone itt tried a GPU passthrough using NixOS? I know that Nix can break some scripts because of how different they do some things and I'm not smart enough to figure out GPU passthrough myself if it ever goes off track.I have a dedicated nVidia GPU and the intel integrated graphics, ideally I'd like to switch Linux to the Intel one whenever I boot the virtual machine so it can use the nVidia one, giving it back to the host system after shutdown.
>>103366402Anyone?I've been trying for the last 3 hours getting mental omega to run.I've created the Wine 32 bit installed all the dependencies, and still couldn't get it to work.I don't know how it could work the first time.

Hopefully there's someone more up to date with Linux news knows the answer to this.Are the Intel meteor lake CPUs borked with current Linux?Looking to get a new laptop for my mother, specially a Intel Ultra 125H and stick Mint 22 on there since it should be supported. I assumed it'd be hassle free, especially with the Intel wifi.Now reading there's all sorts of issues with audio being broken in the kernel?
>>103368211There's no reason not to buy RHEL / Ubuntu certified hardware if you're buying new.
Posted on the sqt but decided to try my luck hereEverytime I try to install any Linux distro I get the same “error: unknown file system” grub error. How the fuck do I fix this? Did I fuck up my hard drive somehow?
>>103369832you're probably doing something wrong.
>>103369832Need more infoWhats your hardware?Are you dual booting?What's the last distro you tried this on?
>>103367746Well after few hours of messing around I figured it out.1. Bottles didn't do shit.2. Create Wineprefix in win 32 architecture,make sure it's win 73. Install these with winetricksdotnet40 dotnet45 dotnet452 dotnet46 xna40 cnc_ddraw directplay vcrun2019 4. use the prefix to run RA2MD.exe first, then run the mental omega client (you have to be in the same directory)5. create a bottle, the runner doesn't matter, but use 9.16 by kron4ek if it's available6. repeat the installation of the dependencies 7. copy the wine prefix to the bottle prefix8. Use the new bottle to run RA2MD.exe first then the mental omega client, the wine prefix might be updating.
Anons I tried to install gentoo but its hard, I tried seeing a youtube video but I was following the guide like a mindless sheep I want to download it and understand what am I doing. Do any of you guys has any book or guide that teaches me about it.
>>103371016Just follow the manual, it's not difficult, just time-intensive if you do it the first time
anyone has experience with reading other process memory (in the purpose of cheating in that game)
>>103371046But I want to understand it, I want to learn how to properly use and install gentoo not to just install it to flex it with neofetch like an arch fag.
>>103370985>+8 hoursNo wonder people call linux a timesink

>>103370082>>103370323Hmm, had an old install of devuan with no problems until I closed the laptop while it was running and opened it back up and it shit itself. Was I supposed to put it in sleep mode before I closed it? Tried to reinstall with the refracta installer and everything went fine until I got to actually installing the os which gave me that “see /var/log/refractainstaller.log for details” message. Thought I was a problem with my BIOS so I changed it from “both” to “Legacy only” to no avail. Here are my specsThinkpad X230 Intel Core i5 3320M 2.60GHzHyundai 4GB DDR3Micron 4GB DDR3HGST 465GB hard driveI’m not dual booting, and I’ve only used Devuan and Artix on this machine.Hard drive seems to have failed all the tests in the Lenovo diagnostic tool, it even told me to replace my storage device.
>>103371271What part of the manual don't you understand?
>>103371574>do x do ybut why do x? what about z?
>>103371596What specifically? Use your brain. If you can ask specific questions then maybe someone can give you an answer.http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
>>103371630>>103371596It also probably helps if you think of the Gentoo Handbook as a guide rather than "The one true way™"Often the answer to "Why do X?" is simply, "There's no real reason. We just did it that way in the guide". Other times there's a real reason behind it.
On a scale of 1-10 how cute is readline?
is anyone using nvidia-470 driver on arch?
>>103372177basically, before someone answers:https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkmsthis is supposed to be the dkms package, but the git clone URL points at another package (470-utils).I can't tell if this means the packages are merged, or if something is completely off about this.
>>103371513desu. it's few games that does this and mostly games that uses mods, and mostly would give you issues if you run it under windows too.Soda, bottles own runner, works flawlessly 90% of the time.
>>103366052 (OP)Like 7 years ago I installed ubuntu or something on my laptop that I rarely use and recently while updating it I basically bricked the OS. Is there any way to get the files off of it before my attempt at reformatting?
>>103372339Mount the drive in a live cd and copy what you want.
>>103372352What's a live cd?
>>103372400The live image you stick on the USB. The same as the installer but click "Try it" instead of "Install"
>>103372414So get another ubuntu or whatever iso set up? I don't remember anything about this heh. Thanks, I'll give it a shot

>>103372982i have 64gb of ram>>103373021zram/zswap exists
>>103373320Just have a OOM killer. Swap depends on workload, but if you have to ask you probably don't need any.>>103373021Are you going back to 2003 and can I come with you?
>>103366143You could probably set up a MPV auto profile based on the song's name for this.

What is the most stable, most basic, most easy to get working in a short amount of time distro right this moment?Is it still debian? Fedora? Something else?
>>103374013I'd say Mint
>sudden intense framerate loss in video james on any mouse/keyboard input>don't remember when the last kernel update wasHoly shit I need to get off Mint this is probably already fixed elsewhere and I wont get the update for another 3 months.
>>103374013Archlinux with system snapshots or A/B roots.
>>103374023>MintIs that really more stable than debian tho?
>>103374033This is basically what KDE's new distro will be too if you're experimental and want to try something new:https://community.kde.org/KDE_Linux
>>103374036There's always Mint Debian Edition
>>103374013alpine, objectively. if you mean "basic" as in debloated. yes it's very sane and easy to set up and work withbut you can't have cake and yadayada, due to musl libc the main drawback is no nvidia
>>103374060Nouveau should work well if you're hardware is new enough but it's a crap shoot how well that will work. It's getting active development now though at least which is good.
>>103374010you can use proton (and forks) without steam
>>103374010i also recommend using wine-tkg if you can over stable/staging
Trying out KDE Plasma on a Gentoo system: what USE flags am I supposed to give it? "qt6" at least huh?And no, I'm not going to use profiles.>>103372400Most installers are "live systems" too.>>103371016>understand what am I doingYou are developing binaries, Gentoo's a development system.>>103371046The manual doesn't spoonfeed much when it comes to circular dependencies.What I do is I start randomly disabling USE flags until Emerge goes brrr again.t. brainlet on Gentoo
>>103374276oh, they do offer rebuilt for arch, nice.will check it outfor years been using two prefixes 32bit/64bit.shared between games, it worked fine,recent wine seems to have a syswow64 folder, does this mean I can just have one prefix for everything now?
>>103374828wine has had decent wow64 support for ages now
>>103373902How is this different from just having swappiness set to an appropriate value?
>>103374951https://notes.valdikss.org.ru/linux-for-old-pc-from-2007/
>>103374828>does this mean I can just have one prefix for everything now?well it eliminated the need for multilib, steam is the only BIG application that requires it now... you still have to use multiple prefixes but varies how you configure things.
>>103374027Enable the steam overlay
>>103375507Theres no way this is the issue... Im gonna try it right now, but really?
>>103375537Yep.https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/5767https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/5785
>>103375954I've been going for an hour and some change since I saw that and this is some incomprehensible jank. Oh well, I still need to get the fuck off of Mint eventually.
Does anyone remember an old (early 2000s?) fantasy-themed distribution that isn't Source Mage or Sorcerer? I've been splitting hairs trying to put a name to it but to no avail. It used enlightenment (e16) and described itself as "an arcane magical space for sacred rituals" or something like that, the website looked something like picrel and had a few screenshots with desktops with dragons (100% sure about dragons), dark forests, mountains, etc. as papes. Remember visiting it 3-4 years ago so it was either still up or I was looking at an archive. Either way, any clues?
>>103375981Oh and it had asian symbols or some kind of runes below the distro title, sure about it.
>>103375981try searching on distrowatch, for example; https://distrowatch.com/search.php?&desktop=Enlightenment&status=Discontinued

Has anyone done a test on the latency between x11 and wayland? Assuming both have tearing enabled I'm thinking to try out rhythm games on Linux so it's kind of a big deal for me if there's a noticeable difference between the two
>>103375118I guess that makes sense if you're dealing with people who won't spend money on hardware or do their own VM tuning, but honestly fuck them.
>>103376548the patch is what android uses
>>103376458there's been multiple tests on /g/ and reddit each has several bias or not accurately tested well. just know you are emulating windows with wine, which adds input latency.
maybe iI should just go back to windows
>>103376685Sucks but I guess that's the trade off I have to put up with. At this point I understand my Linux system way more than I do with windows and if I go back it irritates me lolHopefully wine with (actually) wayland can be better but that's gonna take a while to wait
>>103376812imo x11 is better if you remove every shitware component added to x11 (libinput) and sound server (pulseaudio and pipewire) alsa latency is superior to directsound/wasapi/asio but having pure alsa is impossible now unless you use source based distro (gentoo crux kiss etc)
>>103376673not linux, fuck them
>>103377244Android is Linux whether you like it or not. Just not GNU.

Kubuntu bros, give me the simplest solution to connect the computer sound to a Bluetooth speaker?
>>103377376It's Linux for shitty hardware, so he's right. It makes sense in those context's but not if you have good hardware or are willing to do your own tuning.
>>103377564Just connect it via the System Settings in Bluetooth. It should just werk. Bluetooth is shit though, I have a soundbar that has a fuckton of latency over Bluetooth. It's fine over its wired optical connection as you'd expect though.
>>103376363hm, that could be tricky. unfortunately i was only starting to get into linux in the early '00s, so i can't think of any better places to look
>>103377567thats like saying ChromeOS isn't leenux>>103376673wonder if any distros for pinephone/pro uses this, performance on most supported distros so terrible it's difficult to daily drive
>>103377601ChromeOS isn't GNU/Linux either (although it is based off of Gentoo which is pretty damn cool).
>>103377601>wonder if any distros for pinephone/pro uses this, performance on most supported distros so terrible it's difficult to daily driveThe reason the performance is shit is because the hardware is shit, especially the graphics. Until I can spend between $300-$600 on a phone that runs GNU/Linux and can play YouTube without stuttering and also has all-day battery life it'll always be impractical.I would love to run GNU/Linux on my smartphone but until somebody makes hardware that can meet this bare minimum (the software isn't the issue) I stick with Android on Pixel phones. It's a cheap mid-range phone for $300-$600 that actually works and won't break anytime soon and also receives updates from Google for extensive periods of time. I don't particularly like Google that much but I am a practical man at times like this.
Qt 6.8.1 was tagged earlier, already packaged in Gentoo. That was quick.https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-qt/qtbase

>>103377726Yeah, the Librem 5 is:>We think we're Apple>Pay us more for FREEDOMIt's a grift. I appreciate what they're doing but I want good hardware, not shit hardware for a shit price.
>>103377789yes
>>103377789Wine prefixes are relatively small until you start adding shit.
We finally got Plasma 6 on Debian Sid!No Krashes!

>>103377866>>103377919With reflinks the space issue is a non-issue. You can dedup the duplicate files with Btrfs/Zfs/Xfs/etc
>>103377997>again, do Windows users keep a separate installation for every game they want to play? I don't think so..They sometimes use compat mode. With Wine I think that's a global setting though so whatever version of Windows you set the prefix to applies to everything.
>>103378010>I don't want to also copy over 600MB of thousands of files for wine.>bloat. bloat. bloat. bloatThat's the point of reflinks, they don't take up any extra space. You get your bloat without the bloat.
>>103378023Although, if you're using something like rsync to do the copying then I think it'll ruin your reflinks. It'd be nice to have a reflink-aware rsync that can preserve them on different storage mediums (assuming the filesystem supports it of course).
>>103378061>wouldn't reflinks take room in the partition table?No, that's the point of them, they share the exact same extents. Maybe a tiny bit of metadata to mark the fact that file B -> A but the data points into the other file. You don't get a copy unless the data is modified in some way.
>>103378175In your case what you're doing is better then, ext4 doesn't have reflinks because it's not a copy-on-write filesystem.

I'm experimenting on having two WM on two tty (i3 on tty2 and sway on tty3) but for reason whenever I try to launch Firefox it'll always open on tty2 even though I launched the command on tty3. Any ideas on how to "isolate" it?
>>103378263Make sure $DISPLAY and $WAYLAND_DISPLAY are set correctly and also launch firefox with --no-remote, the DBus remoting might be breaking things if you don't have a dedicated bus for each session.

I played a game with Proton Experimental but the video playback doesn't work. I found out the video file is an mp4 (avc/aac), isn't this supposed to be supported on the latest version?

>>103378579Linux Mint. I'm thinking to install ffmpeg inside the sfx, but not sure it could mess up Proton media handling or not

Do I need to worry about btrfs fragmentation? Also how do I do defragmenting with snapshots? Just delete them first? It just takes up more space and will eventually become too much.
>>103378866Just run the maintenance scripts:https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance>Description: Run defragmentation on configured directories. This is for convenience and not necessary as defragmentation needs are usually different for various types of data.
How did you solve the mixed resfesh rate issue? I'm a mint newfag and none of the guides from google (except shutting the slower minitor down) helped me and wayland mode is unusably unstable here.Overall, though, it feels better than W10/11 which's actually surprised me.
>>103379062By not using Linux mint, sadly.All of the Desktop Environment options on mint don't have the capability to run under wayland (and in cinnamon case, unstable).You'll either have to wait until one of them can run in wayland or switch to another distro with a DE that can do wayland.Currently your only options are only Gnome and KDE but most distros offer those just fineI guess you could try Debian or Ubuntu since you're from mint but personally I'll go with fedora because that's what I use for years
>>103379137I forgot that this board thinks that Ubuntu is the spawn of satan so maybe opt for Debian if you had to choose between the two lol

i use KDE and want to try switching to a tiling window manager. i have an nvidia gpu on my desktop and a laptop with an integrated igpu and it would be nice if they could share the same WM/configs. on my desktop I occasionally game. should i try sway or hyprland? i hear the nvidia compatibility is unsupported so not sure if i should even bother
Can you mirror two smaller disks to a much larger disk and use the rest of the disk for other data? Is it even a good idea?
>>103379733Aren't there scripts for Kwin that essentially turn Plasma into tiling WM?
Anyone know a good distro if I want to build everything from da source codez
>>103379809Sure, you could create two partitions of appropriate size on the larger disk and use them as members of a RAID 1 array, with a third partition in the leftover space formatted however you like. A risk of this plan is that the failure of the one larger disk puts two different RAID arrays into a degraded state. There's something else that smells bad to me about this, but I can't figure out what it is.
>>103379809>Can you mirror two smaller disks to a much larger disk and use the rest of the disk for other data?LVM>Is it even a good idea?depends on your use case. if you don't mind the overhead of managing this setup then i don't see why it would be a bad idea. ask yourself if you really need to do this though, you might be better off just partitioning and mounting separately unless you have a really good reason for bundling everything
>>103379834FreeBSD.
>>103379834gentoo
>>103379854Ports are shit.>>103379857Actual answer. The end.
>>103379536lvmcache, bcache, zfs with slogs. Motherboard based storage tech was always gimmicks for winshitters.
>>103379809Yeah I do that with my btrfs raid1 because I buy the lowest $/TB drive when I need more storage. The disks are always mismatched size, and that leaves a few TB slack space which can be used for active torrents and such.
Tommorow after my workd is done, I am going to buy a new laptop for gaming but it is not going to be used for vidya. Laptop is comming without OS and I'll install Devuan. In installation process do I have to choose a swap file of 32 GB's if my RAM is 16 GB's?
^^^^^^^^^^^^damn, sorry for misspelling errors, it seems like I'm too tired to type.
>>103380202All you need is an OOM killer. If you plan to hibernate, you need at least 8GB swap. Otherwise just add swap as befits your workload.
>>103380195Are there any downsides? How's speed?
>>103380195with btrfs there's no need to make equal-size partitions for raid, it will place data wherever there's spaceso like if you put two 1TB and one 2TB drive in btrfs raid1, whole-disc partitions, you'll be able to use all the space with no slack, as each time is writes a chunk, it will just pick the 2TB drive and the least-used 1TB drive at the time. since 1+1+2TB is balanced (in that it can be seen as 2+2TB), it will be a 2TB raid1 volume with no wasted space. btrfs raid1 only cares that data is on two discs, it doesn't care which two discs
is it possible to make money by knowing linux anymore? seems like troonix is more popular than ever
>>103380426It's possible to make money from anything if you're sufficiently good at it.
>>103380346It chugs a little transferring from scratch to raid for obvious reasons, but other than that it's fine. There are only 2 people using the raid and our internet is only 800M, so it's not exactly a challenging workload.>>103380421Yeah but I'm currently on 4+6+14TB. There's no point allocating the outside 4TB to raid1.
>>103380506How do you make money from masturbating?
>>103380547>Yeah but I'm currently on 4+6+14TB. There's no point allocating the outside 4TB to raid1.i see, that's pretty lopsided. you can always add another disc, or like you're doing just find a less important task for the slack 4TB

>>103381112what's leet about them?
>>103381112They're fast but then so is every other terminal. I use Alacritty or Konsole if I want something more featureful.
>>103381150I don't know, they're recommended by every linux youtuber.>>103381161>>103381161What's featureful about it?I'm using xfce-terminal
>>103381112There's none, stick with your standard emulator and look into other shells if you want so claled advantages, like zsh.I'm sticking with Konsole and Bash, you really don't need anything else and both provide way more than the average joe needs
>>103381179Konsole supports pretty much every feature you could think of, too many to list, but you also probably don't want to use it outside of KDE (you can if you want to though).Splits is a big feature I use.>In before: Use TmuxI do, but nested tmux (for example, tmux on your shell and tmux over an SSH connection) sucks.
>>103381112No. Just more shit breaks. The only terminals that matter are konsole, gnome-terminal, and xterm. Other libvte based terminals are on 2nd class status. Everything else is jeet level garbage that nobody tests with.

I've been looking into using the USB Gadget API to make a mass storage device. There's plenty of stuff online about it. But everyone seems to use Raspberry Pis and other Single Board Computers. Is that because they have a special USB controller? Or would a normal office laptop have the hardware required to advertise itself as a USB Mass Storage device?I've seen "USB Device Controllers" mentioned in the Gadget docs, but googling just gives me USB Host Controllers, so I'm not sure if they're the same thing or not.My use case:Laptop where I'm building bootable ISOs, with the eventual deliverable being a burned bootable bluray.(PXE and IPMI and other boot methods are not options for me)I want to speed up development and not waste blurays on burning new copies with every change. I want to take a USB cable between my laptop and my server, and have my server boot off a .iso file on the laptop.Is this possible?Is there something I can check hardware wise on the laptop to verify compatibility?If it's not typically possible but a peripheral makes it possible, what is that peripheral?
>>103385693While not an answer to your original question, I recall seeing a while ago a device that would let you load it with ISOs over USB in one mode, and then switch to another mode where it would instead appear as though it were a dvd drive with a disk with one of those images in it. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called though.
>>103385693>>103385995I found it, its called an "iodd", you can get them on amazon.
>>103386044While the iodd does look nice, and would prevent the need to burn disks, it's an extra piece of equipment, and I would still have to switch it between laptop and server every build.I was hoping for a solution where I can leave the laptop connected to the server with a usb cable, build a new .iso on the laptop, point the USB Gadget config at the new .iso file, and have the server boot from it as if it were a disc drive.This is mostly for convenience with my workflow, and also an opportunity to start playing around with USB Gadget.
>>103385693being able to act as a usb gadget is indeed a separate mode to acting as a usb host controller, so it's not guaranteed that any particular usb host controller can be configured to act as a gadgeti don't know how common it is for desktop/laptop usb host controllers to support acting as a gadget
>>103385693>>103386305though i will speculate it's more likely now than previously, because of things like phone "OTG" which is a common feature, which involves switching the phone's usb controller into host mode to support plugging gadgets into the phone rather than the phone being the gadget. when a feature becomes commonly used, they tend to be included in all chips even when it's not required, because it's just simpler to make one universal chip than many with minor differences
>>103386305>>103386334If the "USB Device Controller" functionality mentioned in the UDB Gadget docs is a function/feature of the USB Host Controller, then that's at least something I can start researching for the different devices I have available. Thank you!
>>103366111Looks very ugly and I say this as a retroomer

Hey /g/uys. I 've been running void with bspwm on my desktop for a few years and I am generally happy with it besides the lackluster variety of browsers on offer. I am getting a new desktop in a few days and since am going to do a clean install I was thinking of switching to artix, mostly because I want to fuck around with hyprland.

>>103386812Search something like "copy Chrome profile files out of Silk Browser". With Brave and stuff, you can copy an old profile directory then replace the same folder in a fresh install of Brave; as a result, you should have everything you had in the past now on the new installation.>>103387854What hardware are you using?>>103387887Use a two-disk zfs mirror pool if you do do that=protected against single-disk failure. Three-disk mirror pool=protected against two-disk failure (less common). You won't feel as bad as you expect from losing storage capacity to redundancy.I have a bit of a complaint with ZFS mirror pools. If you ever import the pool and have one of the disks not attached then it will have a "degraded" status until you plug the other HDD in and it can do any resilvering if needed. Say you have a three-disk mirror pool of external SSDs, but otherwise your setup is not so good: you have a laptop with only three USB ports. If any one of them is unplugged it will have a status of "degraded". As far as I know, with ZFS mirrors, there isn't a setting to say "always have two plugged in to have a status of online, optionally have a third plugged in". With that idea, the statuses could be 3 out of 3 plugged in=online; 2 out of 3 plugged in=semi-online; 1 out of 3 plugged in=degraded.
>>103387552You're going to be limited by USB speeds and WiFi speeds anyway. I doubt you'd see much difference between an AC adapter and an AX adapter.When I upgraded my access points from 802.11ac to 802.11ax my speeds went from about 300mb/s to 600-700mb/s. That's twice as fast but nothing wireless barely needs that bandwidth in the first place, I have Ethernet for my desktops. The main benefits I got is the improved mesh networking offered by Wifi6, I can now walk around my whole house without any connections dropping and clients seamlessly hop from station to station as if it were nothing.
>>103385674>Yes, I like everything in the current year GPU-accelerated. Something wrong with that?How do you accelerate a terminal emulator?
>>103388175>If any one of them is unplugged it will have a status of "degraded". As far as I know, with ZFS mirrors, there isn't a setting to say "always have two plugged in to have a status of online, optionally have a third plugged in".That's on purpose, because even though your data is still safe in degraded state you won't maintain parity if it let you continue as if it were online.
Just migrated to CachyOS from windows like I've been wanting to for months.Do you guys have any recommendations for font rendering? Right now in my browsers the text looks kinda fuzzy on multiple sites, especially for foreign languages like Japanese.
>>103388249With OpenGL or Vulkan instead of software rendering.A terminal emulator renders a fuck ton of text and if you design the emulator to take advantage of GPU processing then a lot of that can be offloaded.
>>103388175>What hardware are you using?No ECC; LSI HBA; 1x 8Tb Seagate + 2x 4Tb (Seagate and WD;) RAID 0+1 (0 with mdadm, 1 with btrfs.) RAID1 metadata.I understand your recommendation, but zfs is completely out for me given my setup, budget and plans for future drive acquisition. As far as I'm aware, I'm stuck with wathever I create and can't add more disks as needed.I can't seem to find a better filesystem than btrfs that isn't zfs, but that won't do, so I'm looking at a better RAID level setup, though I think what I have is as good as it gets without adding another disk, but I'm not sure. I've done my research before setting this up and then promptly forgot about it.
>>103382139>BTRFSI run into this shit as well, lets' be honest unless you're sysadmin you've probably never read btrfs docs.Honestly, you need to run a maintenance on it every months or so.It need frequent scrubbing, balancing, and even fucking de-fragmentation.The pros, are obvious you can have native snapshots, which is better than rsync.And you can add more space when this happens with simple USB flash drivebtrfs device add /dev/sdx /And yeah you can't chroot into it to, so if you use btrfs, you need to use the snapshots.Also those take a long time on HDD.>t. guy that mange btrfs server on 5400 hdd

SMR HDDs do more writes so they probably die faster:>PSA: Beware of HDD manufacturers submarining SMR technology in HDD’s without any public mention>Shingled magnetic recording (SMR) is a magnetic storage data recording technology used in hard disk drives (HDDs) to increase storage density and overall per-drive storage capacity.

>>103388576Elaborate? You need an environment to mount and chroot from in the first place, as long as it has BTRFS tools available I fail to see why it wouldn't work.
>>103388589Because there wasn't enough space.the process would fail.You can test it yourself, spin vm with 20 GB with btrfs, make some dummy files.Create some snapshots and use more than 90% of the disk space.You no longer can chroot or restore snapshots.
>>103388636Oh, so the problem was just you not understanding that snapshots take up space. You need to clean them up.
>>103388562well guess that was it!for some reason, it was not unlocked at boot and wasn't being used by mdadm to form the array, so btrfs scrub freaked out.scrubbing now, no errors... seems all's goodlooking at lsblk there are so many indents that it's hard to keep track if something like this happens... I'll check the drive connectivity too
Can anyone help me with some Internet issue I'm having?For seemingly no reason, my machine no longer gets stable connections, but it seems to only be the case for Chrome and for some reason VS Code, because on Firefox it's okay.For example, if I do a random prompt on ChatGPT while Inspecting the Network tab I'll eventually get a "(failed) net::ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED" error. On other sites, pages are loaded partially or incompletely.I am using Tailscale which modifies the network but disabling it changes nothing.Help?

I have two machines on same network, x11 forwarding isn't cutting it.How to get rdp working on it?Since one is running KDE, I though krdp would be easy but I couldn't connect to it.How to start troubleshooting this?Because chatgpt didn't help.
>>103388386Try Insomnia, it's shit-electron based beware but it works
>>103390294RDP will kill your current X session as only one is allowed per user.You want the package called xrdpFollow Archwiki's doc about itWhat do you want to do with it?I use RDP but only for managing remote routers with only web based management. There are multiple ways of better remote access
>>103390343>What do you want to do with it?I was trying to experiment and see if i can do some gaming with it (turn based rpg/VNs)X11forwading didn't work.>xrdpDidn't install from the AUR repo.KDE has it's own krdp, which didn't work.
>>103390371Check out Moonlight/SunShine. RDP has never been usable on Linux.
>>103390371>some gaming with it (turn based rpg/VNs)It could work but then you have to sync audio and that's another pain>krdpYeah I see this Krdp is for RDP'ing into Plasma, looks limited and still in development. If I'm not mistaken this is for Wayland Plasma since compositors need to provide their own remote mechanism (Anons correct me if I'm wrong).If you're under X11 stick with xrdp, it works
>>103390297I used to, but they made me create an account with them and held my collections hostage so never trusting them again
>>103390437ahh they weren't that way in the past, yeah don't trust those fuckers ever again.You can also try JMeter and VSCode has a plugin for REST testing, if anything else fails then stick with Postman

>>103367309>EFI partitions 512 MBWhat does this FAT32 partition even do beyond booting? (Page files maybe?) If you look at the files stored in there it's like 10 MB max total. AI slop said:>>What does EFI partition do in Linux?>In Linux, the EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) partition stores boot loader files and data for booting the operating system in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) mode. This partition is necessary for computers using UEFI firmware, as it contains the necessary files for the system to boot correctly.>\ The EFI partition typically includes the bootloader, boot manager, and other related files needed to start the operating system, such as GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader) or systemd-boot. It also stores configuration files and drivers required for the system to identify and load the operating system properly.>\ Overall, the EFI partition plays a crucial role in the boot process of a Linux system running on UEFI-compatible hardware, ensuring the correct initialization and startup of the operating system.>>How large should EFI partition be in Linux?>The EFI partition in Linux should be at least 100MB in size, but it is recommended to allocate up to 550MB for future expansion and updates.>>103388554>Current solution...Quickly completed that a while ago:https://gothub.ducks.party/ProximaNova/ipfs-kubo-rpc-api-for-cgi/blob/main/usr/lib/cgi-bin/tab.shCan even basically feed those text files into grab-site or something.
>>103390832>EFI partitions 512 MB>What does this FAT32 partition even do beyond booting?Nothing.
An [x] based distro means that anything available for that distro should be downloadable/applicable to other [x] based distros, right?
Is there some easy way to completely disable all sleep, suspend, and power management stuff?
>>103367320Printers are sold cheap and the company makes the money via you buying ink/toner cartridges. Never heard of "Brother"-branded printers.>>103390841Ok>>103390848I guess not because there's certain libraries and dependencies specific to the distro and the program binaries made for it. Sometimes work and sometimes doesn't work, as I understand. Such as with comparable versions of Mint and Ubuntu.>>103390811Which file system is your flash drive using? NTFS or FAT32? One doesn't work for what you're trying to do.>>103373021I think I don't have any swap or swap partition. I should probably look into where that swap file is and make one if it doesn't exist. I guess swap has to be on the same HDD as where the OS is stored.

Trying to post it as one post = 4chan system said it was spam, solved a bunch of captchas>>103391086As I remember, it worked fine with FAT32 but not NTFS. Maybe I remembered wrong. More importantly, perhaps you got the wrong cpu architecture to run that ISO. Like 32-bit vs 64-bit, i682, i386 or whatever.

>>103366052 (OP)Is there anywhere I can compare processors when it comes to Kernel compile times?I want to pitch a Ryzen 5 5600G against an Intel Xeon E5-2680 V4.
>>103391429openbenchmarking, but you'll have a rough time.The E5 will compile faster if all cores and threads are used. However, the R5 is way faster in single core performance. So, if we limit the compilation job to 2 threads then the R5 will be win.
>>103390408>RDP has never been usable on Linux.Thanks.I know I wasn't doing something wrong.>>103390413>krdpno wonder I couldn't get it to work.>If you're under X11 stick with xrdp, it worksWell, I still couldn't get it to install from the AUR.
>>103391665>Well, I still couldn't get it to install from the AUR.Archlinux shenanigans then, it install just fine under Debian
>>103391531That'd be okay. I plan on using all of the threads and cores I can when compiling. As long as it's faster than the R5 at that, I think I'll have a good time with it seeing as most other stuff I do isn't that demanding on single-core performance.
>>103390294Damn who’s this semen demon
I installed Endeavour OS and it takes like 8 gb of space more or less, then I installed Telegram, Emacs, Foliate, Wine, Vivaldi and a handful of other small programs, did some system update here and there and now it takes 39 gb already, wtf?
>>103392176Is this the result of df -h /root?Did your initial install include a DE? If not many of those programs would probably pull a whole DE stack as a dependency which can be quite large.I assume you didn't use flatpak because that would explain the bloat as well.I am not really familiar with pacman but maybe cleaning your cash is a good idea as well.
>>103391750>Archlinux shenanigans then, it install just fine under DebianI don't know man>>103391965saved it from /b/ when it used to be cool
>>103392176Used KDE?But to be honest endeavour install bloat by default.
>>103390294Krdp is still an experimental mess. The best I've found is to use wayvnc with a headless wlroots compositor like Cage or Sway.I wrote this script to run an application in a headless instance of Cage and automatically spin up a VNC server for it. It's not perfect (I wish I had a better way to acquire a free port. The method it uses right now is not very flexible) but works well enough.Example Usage (turn off generating a password and force 5901 as the port instead of allocating one automatically):$ env WAYVNC_PORT=5901 WAYVNC_FORCE_NO_PASS=1 cage-remote -g -- firefox-bin --no-remote
$ env WAYVNC_PORT=5901 WAYVNC_FORCE_NO_PASS=1 cage-remote -g -- firefox-bin --no-remote
