General Linux Chat and Small Questions v. Year of the Linux Desktop! - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=kaukassus;47964901]About the dependencies, how is the update process for updating dependencies like OpenSSL, Nginx, etc... inside a container? That's my biggest worry. [/QUOTE] You SSH into container or use docker's commandline access to it and do an apt-get stuff, that is, of course, if your docker image is based on distros with package manager. Something like that IIRC.

just noticed my / partition was full. /var/lib/systemd/coredump is at a massive size of 13GB's. is it safe to delete the contents of this folder or are they important for functioning? judging from the name, it appears to be some sort of log thing.

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;47964828]Like I said, why not ship configs? I honestly don't get the point of adding overhead to a system for stuff like security and configuration management. There are other ways of doing it.[/QUOTE] Shipping configs tends to get platform specific (ship deb for debian [s]ubu[/s] deb for ubuntu, rpm, .tar.gz "install it yourself"), adds some shell scripts that do some installation (that require root and need inspection), additional README's on how to do stuff, FAQs etc. There are many use cases when docker is useful. And shipping configs does not gives you sandboxing out-of-box.

When you rebuild the image, it'll check the base image you derive your image from, so if that has changed, it'll be updated. I also throw apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y in there, when I define what packages to install - if I'm installing software, I already have to run update to make sure I get an up-to-date available package, so doing an upgrade -y there before installation is pretty much free. You have your database etc. whatever on a persistent volume, then the container mounts that. You can rebuild the image every 5 minutes if you want to, your data stays safe.

[QUOTE=nikomo;47984710]There's a thing in SATA 3.2 spec that says, if you say you support it, the OS will insert TRIM commands into the command stream (queued TRIM). If that's off, if you TRIM-on-delete, you delete a file, and then you can't use the SSD whilst TRIM is running, but queued TRIM let's you use the disk whilst doing TRIM. Samsung SSDs on newer firmware versions say they support it, but actually don't, so the firmware guys literally went "ooh shiny, tick that box". But trying to do queued TRIM without actually supporting it, ends up causing block corruption.[/QUOTE] Fucking Samsung. I just got an 850 pro. Never getting anything but Intel ssds ever now. edit: Also this is apparently the original article about the problem: [url]https://blog.algolia.com/when-solid-state-drives-are-not-that-solid/[/url] I thought everyone had learned their lesson about using consumer SSDs for enterprise applications. I remember stack overflow getting fucked by consumer SSDs too.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;47995842]Worth noting that if it inexplicably grew to that volume suddenly, it might be worth inspecting.[/QUOTE] it happened again, grew to 13GB's in a few hours. it's clogged up with a ton of coredumps from kscreenlocker. apparently there's an issue with that and it enjoys spamming my coredumps. is there a way to disable kscreenlocker (it doesn't work anyway, always have to change TTY session to GDM to log back in) or disable coredump logging?

I haven't been using KDE for a while so I dunno how much of a core thing it is, but if you don't need it, I would try to just get rid of it?

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;47996912]I haven't been using KDE for a while so I dunno how much of a core thing it is, but if you don't need it, I would try to just get rid of it?[/QUOTE] kscreenlocker doesn't seem to be its own independent package, so I assume it's part of the workspace package. knowing KDE, I'm imagining that the workspace depends on it anyway if it is its own package and I just can't find it. I don't suppose there's a way to add exceptions to the coredumps? add an exception for kscreenlocker?

Not very familiar with the config, but there's these lines in my config, which I have not edited for that matter: [code] #ProcessSizeMax=2G #ExternalSizeMax=2G #JournalSizeMax=767M #MaxUse= #KeepFree= [/code] I don't have the same problem as you. My folder folder is atm 227M big. But if you google, there are threads about insanely large coredump folders. Check man coredump.conf for what the lines above mean.

my nic doesn't seem to get a IPv4 addr anymore on the enp2s0 (eth0). Tried everything. Happened when I accidentally enabled IPv6 DHCP in my router. Been debugging it for 4 days and I'm just giving up now, about to reinstall arch... :suicide:

Be a man, and become the first person to go IPv6-only.

ipv6 is a shitfest Also I forgot to mention that the networking does not work on a live cd as well. Works fine on windows. Looks like I'm gonna go and buy a PCI network card

[QUOTE=nikomo;47999943]Be a man, and become the first person to go IPv6-only.[/QUOTE] But if you don't want to let the NSA look at your traffic, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HXLaRWk1SM#t=35m58s]you gotta use IPv5[/url].

i've got some free time and feel like fucking around with linux for the first time, i've got an eehh laptop and a flash drive, what should i install?

gentoo [sp]no actually install arch or debian[/sp]

[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48001477]i've got some free time and feel like fucking around with linux for the first time, i've got an eehh laptop and a flash drive, what should i install?[/QUOTE] if you wanna learn linux and all stuff related, and prepared for challenge - install arch. if you just want to have a linux system and fuck around afterwards - install Debian or any Debian-based distros.

[QUOTE=HJ-kos;48002697]if you wanna learn linux and all stuff related, and prepared for challenge - install arch.[/QUOTE] Or unflavored Void (over Arch). If you want a system that works all peachy and everything, everything else that doesn't have a "How to read this tutorial" tutorial and flavored Void.

[QUOTE=Stonecycle;48004211]Or unflavored Void (over Arch). If you want a system that works all peachy and everything, everything else that doesn't have a "How to read this tutorial" tutorial and flavored Void.[/QUOTE] Void is pretty cool in that it is a very simple system. You've got runit as the init system, coreutils, dracut, and the kernel. And that's pretty much it. [editline]19th June 2015[/editline] There's a package manager too, took that for granted, and a couple of thousand packages too. Not Ubuntu or Debian many, but most that people use on a day to day basis. And it is easy to have new ones added in too, not to mention setting up private RSA signed repositories.

Packages like 'artwiz-fonts', 'dejavu-fonts-ttf', 'font-bitstream-type1', 'gohufont', and 'termsyn-font' are all very inconsistently named. And the only real way to search for a package's name is checking [url=http://repo.voidlinux.eu/current]the repo[/url]. There's `xbps-query -R $pkg_name`, but you need to have the correct name to find it.

Do you mean like categories or something? I agree that the naming scheme isn't the best. Personally I much prefer the portage naming of things.

shotgun debugging did the trick in the end added a shitty old switch between my pc and the big switch

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jek3bWnh86I[/media] So for some reason it refuses to turn on three screens at once in gnome-session but it is recognized and "active". It does some funky stuff. I kinda blame GDM but it works even less without GDM for some reason. I can't open the window configuration window because that crashes when I try to do so.

gnome wayland works fine [editline]20th June 2015[/editline] fixed video [editline]20th June 2015[/editline] I use some legacy stuff that still requires X11 to function so running wayland full-time is not really an option for me

Personally I much prefer the portage naming of things.[/QUOTE] He probably means partial matches (e.g. searching "dejavu" should bring up "dejavu-fonts-ttf")

the GNOME devs removed the ability to be a functional DE from GNOME because they weren't using it, so nobody else should be either

#! (CrunchBang) is dead. Sooo I went debian sid and took all of the #! config files and whatnot with me, along with openbox. Been working wonderfully. Running Steam and garry's mod better than I have in a while.

[QUOTE=lavacano;48012731]the GNOME devs removed the ability to be a functional DE from GNOME because they weren't using it, so nobody else should be either[/QUOTE] It's like the Gnome Dev's actively try to out-dumb the Unity developers.
