General Linux Chat and Small Questions v. I broke my Arch Install

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;44401315]I have dated to Ubuntu 13, but Unity is too heavy. I never realised how much they made gnome look like OSX.[/QUOTE]

Well, that is why I recommend you to switch DE. Google XFCE, LXDE, KDE, e17, Cinnamon, MATE (Classic Gnome) and check which one you like the best. All of them are in the Ubuntu repo, and is just an apt-get install away.

[Digimutant]

ElementaryOS looks weird on a ThinkPad, maybe it's just me. I like it though, it's just at the moment I'm running it on a virtual machine and I find it nice so far.

Although, I cannot put anything on the desktop, like dragging a shortcut from the menu onto it's desktop like Windows or OSX. Bit of a turnoff for me.

I found it a bit weird, but any application shortcuts I put in the dock, and if I just wanted to create a random file I just put it into the documents folder

It's fish btw, not just POSIX sh.

[vlad]

is there a package which does a good job of monitoring specific services bandwidth's usage? currently use vnStat which does its job, but I'd love a more specific list if possible.

on debian 7, forgot to mention oops

FYI, Gnome 3.12 is out now for Arch on the gnome-unstable repos; add it to your pacman.conf if you want it.

Works pretty well for the most part. There's some visual bugs with GTK, hopefully will be fixed in a couple weeks. I like the new video player. Now that I can actually use it on Arch with all my codecs installed. Not sure why I don't have the wired indicator, but I have location and brightness now...

My Firefox layout (right) compared to Web/Epiphany (left). Wish I could use their titlebar, but I think mine is better overall:

New Gedit and Totem/Videos:

Most everything got updated to GTK3. Most of the Gnome games, file-roller, calculator, etc. Pretty neat.

Groundwork done, but still lots to be setup.

Get over it. If Facebook fucks up the Rift, you don't have to buy one.

If you guys could have any GTK3 application, what would it be? I've been teaching myself Python and messing with GTK/Glade and messing with different ideas for rilez os.

Things I want to make:

- GTK3 based panel. Gets colors from GTK theme. Uses 3.12 popovers. Like xfce panel but prettier/gtk3. I want to find a way to include those gnome shell appmenus, but display them for all open windows

- Simple online video player. Like gmediafinder, but nicer looking/easier.

- Simple launcher application. Toggle between full screen and menu based. A mix of Unity, Gnome and xfce.

- Simple package manager for Arch. Base it on Aura for AUR and ABS support, and backups as well. Dream feature would be to update packagekit so I could have icons/screens

[mastersrp]

I can't be the only one excited for SliTaz in here. Come on guys, read the news! FIrst of all, SliTaz officially announced [url=http://arm.slitaz.org/rpi]SliTaz for the Raspberry Pi[/url]! That's right, get your own rPI box runnning one of the tiniest and most flexible Linux distros.

Second of all, I updated not too long ago, and saw the following packages (amongst a lot others) recently being added:

And they're also working in getting x86_64 support in for the 5.0 release. Maybe ZFS too (It's in [url=http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-undigest/file/64a15fa65df2/zfs/receipt]undigest[/url]).

A youtube player/client that gets a list of your subscriptions etc so you can watch youtube in a native GTK application. Also it'd be great if it just imported subscriptions and that you could subscribe to new channels without a google account and that it just checks their feed using the API.

[editline]1st April 2014[/editline]

Also without any ads. You can just rip the mp4 from youtube and play that over a stream so you don't have to use flash.

Example:

New kernel patch review workflow announced.
[url]https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/1/470[/url]

[quote]
Hello everyone,

During last week's Collab summit, Jon Corbet suggested we use the power
of social media to improve the Linux kernel patch review process.

We thought this was a great idea, and have been experimenting with a new
Facebook group dedicated to patch discussion and review. The new group
provides a dramatically improved development workflow, including:

* One click patch or comment approval
* Comments enhanced with pictures and video
* Who has seen your patches and comments
* Searchable index of past submissions
* A strong community without anonymous flames

To help capture the group discussion in the final patch submission,
we suggest adding a Liked-by: tag to commits that have been through
group review.

To use the new group, please join:

[url]https://www.facebook.com/groups/linuxpatches/[/url]

Once you've joined, you can post patches in the group, or email patches to
[email][e-mail][/email]

I know gmediafinder and minitube rip the mp4s. So that should be possible. Dunno about subscriptions without a YouTube account. They have tons of documentation for their API, including python samples.

[url]https://code.google.com/p/youtube-api-samples/source/browse/#git%2Fsamples%2Fpython[/url]

I'm still pretty shit at programming. I think I should be able to get streams and maybe playlists working

Oh wow that describes me. I'm still not convinced I'm good at computers, I just think I'm just really good at Google.

This might not be the right place but I think its relevant enough to be here.

There is a surprising lack of logcheck/logwatch like programs for systemd so I created a tool that watches journald (systemd) for specific events and sends an E-Mail if an event occurs; keywords can be specified in the config and can optionally filter the journal by unit.

I'm also looking at the possibility of adding the code for it to watch the journal of other systems over SSH.

Currently its happily watching the journal for SSH login events.

That's because there are ways to make sytemd also write classic log files such as auth.log

[editline]1st April 2014[/editline]

although setting it up is a mess.
Also is that a fork of PushOnAuth? :3

I am aware of the possibility of making systemd forward messages elsewhere but its a mess to setup and its more software to maintain.

Its using some code from PushOnAuth; only the code to parse the configuration I think. I hope you dont mind.

It'd be great if you submitted a pull for the systemd implementation.

So I just got OpenRC installed on Debian sid. How come nobody ever told me it was as easy as "aptitude install openrc"? :v:

(well it was an old install so I still had to clean up the old sysv shit but still)

Is there something wrong with Webkit on Linux? Everything looks awful. I realize I'm a bit OCD about design, but this is a bit much.

Some pages look wrong:

Anyone else here use a Webkit browser that can maybe tell me what the heck is going on? On a scale of 1-10, how difficult would it be to implement Gecko in my own GTK3 browser? Because this shit makes me want to do just that.

[editline]1st April 2014[/editline]

Wow, it says I'm posting on OSX with Safari. That's atrocious.

[danharibo]

GitHub usually looks like that if you're missing whatever font they use, the bottom two look like maybe mixed content issues?

[rilez]

On Firefox it falls back to some default font and looks fine:

[t]http://i.imgur.com/EFnEDzm.png[/t]

But even their webfonts are different between browsers:

rilez did you compile webkit yourself?

On Debian Sid and I think Ubuntu, Faster Than Light will crash X11 because of a library that is shipped with the game.
On Arch, it works fine, without having to delete the library file.

I don't even fucking know. I'm guessing Arch is somehow magically skipping the loading of the file, even though that shouldn't be possible.

Maybe it's because of the version of Xorg libraries, that work with the FTL library they ship, but on older version of Xorg the functions segfault or something?

[nikomo]

libstdc++ is the offending library. I think.

I should check on how the fuck that works, maybe the game tries to load that one first, can't find it and just falls back to using system-provided ones for every single one.
Then again, I don't give a fuck.

So, the server I'm running now has its own keyboard and monitor, however every monitor I hook to it has an odd habit of flashing in and out. It'll show just fine, and then go black, and then show just fine again, and repeat this into infinity. Its a damn near stock install of ubuntu server 12.04, any reason why it'd behave this way?
