I just installed Fedora 20, and while I really like it, the gnome devs decided to remove transparency from the terminal. What the gently caress gnome devs.

Ninja Rope posted:Speaking of, what's the Linux alternative to secure boot (ie signed UEFI/bootloader/kernel/extensions) and how well does it work in RHEL? There's also hashtool for distros that don't sign their binaries directly with Intel or whoever. Arch's installer uses it. ratbert90 posted:I just installed Fedora 20, and while I really like it, the gnome devs decided to remove transparency from the terminal. Not even urxvt-style pseudo transparency, i.e. set a background image and blur/darken it? Always looked better imo, and if you using a tiling wm, doesn't look any different than regular transparency most of the time.

There's a few more terminal emulators based on VTE out there that retained transparency. I believe people like Terminator now?

I am bored and thinking of moving my Fedora 20 system to btrfs as the main filesystem. Is this a bad idea or a really bad idea? Edit: I am thinking an ext4 /boot partition and one main btrfs partition with a separate volume for / and /home. waffle iron fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Apr 4, 2014 |

ZFS on Linux works pretty well now, right? It might be a pain to use it on root/upgrade kernels and recompile (so maybe not great on Fedora), but I didn't have much issue with it other than not knowing ZFS well.

I really liked Terminator myself, but lately I have found just basic Konsole is really doing well. I like the way it handles both tabs and splits screens(tabs are replicated on each split so you can switch each portion of the screen). Terminator is really nice, but it has a habit of crashing when I am moving subwindows inside it that annoys me when I am working.

And that's the reason Red Hat puts a lot effort into XFS and will make it the default in RHEL7. There's some wonderful talks by Dave Chinner about the history of XFS and improvements to it on Youtube.

I disconnected my windows drive because I felt like it was giving me issues during start up (different harddrive, using GPT. windows is on a seperate hdd using mbr and not using secureboot.) but only the sata cable. Is linux not hotswap friendly? My windows install doesn't have this issue iirc.

It pastes in X, generally. Do you mean just Firefox? Or Chromium? Or the desktop itself? It's a different operating system. Some things are not gonna be the same. Everything you want to do is supported, but implementation details vary wildly, it may not be enabled by default, and it may be considered bad practice.

Either I'm staring right at the answer or Linux audio is even worse than people have always said. I have a .wav file. I need a utility to loop it endlessly and gaplessly until killed. This is apparently not possible with aplay, mpv, mplayer or any other program I've tried even with FIFO magic and other hacks.

It might be different than you're used to, but it's a holdover from X11 and as such a part of how mice work in linux. Some things are just gonna be a bit different and you can tweak them but you're gonna need to be a hell of a lot more descriptive of your issues.

kujeger posted:mplayer -loop 0 $file Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've tried that already (with both mpv and mplayer.) It isn't gapless: it reloads the stream each period. If fact, it's such a poorly-developed feature that it reinterpets your argv when it loops, breaking named pipes. Maybe it execs itself or something.

I did a little testing on a couple of files, and mpv --loop=inf --gapless-audio seems to do the trick. I'm by no means an audio-head though, so it's certainly possible mpv's gapless is not good enough (and as you say, you have tried mpv).

I'm trying to figure out why Chromium doesn't load youtubes half the time, but firefox doesn't have an issue. Installing that windows emulation of flash just crashes half the time.

'ffplay -loop 0' seems to work better than mplayer.

GreenBuckanneer posted:I'm trying to figure out why Chromium doesn't load youtubes half the time, but firefox doesn't have an issue. This is impossible to know without knowing whether you're trying to use HTML5 YouTube. Chromium or actual chrome? Chrome bundles flash. Chromium just dropped support for Netscape plugins (what adobe's flash is, and what Firefox uses). Official chrome should work. Or enabling "pepper flash". Or maybe chromium-ffmpeg. But you're gonna have to be a lot more descriptive. I don't want to guess "is the page not loading? Video not loading? Starts to play and immediately stops (this happens if permissions in /dev are wrong)? An error message from YouTube?" Please describe what is actually happening in as much detail as you can, otherwise it's hard to help. This isn't a formal tracking system, but these guidelines help us help you: Fedora posted:Summary: Fill in a short, one sentence description of the problem. For example, "Saving file in .tiff format causes program to exit." Why are you trying to emulate flash? It runs natively (sort of badly, admittedly, but that's because flash is bad in general).

evol262 posted:Why are you trying to emulate flash? It runs natively (sort of badly, admittedly, but that's because flash is bad in general). Adobe publishes packages themselves. Well simply, I'm on Elementary OS and some videos work right off the bat on Chromium, and others do not. By that I mean they seem like they'll work then Youtube goes "encountered an error, click more yada yada" Which does not make sense to me. So, I google for a fix and I tried the fix that involves emulating windows flash, which now I've forgotten whatever it was called, but I also used it to get silverlight running so I can run netflix. I've also learned via googling that enabling middle mouse scroll outside of browsers is a crapshoot, which disappoints me.
