That was super helpful, thank you both for your time. It now compiles and i can run the resulting executable. Yay! Now have issues with graphics_get_display_size being broken, but that is well out of the realms of general compiling support and into specific application issues i think. I will attempt to see what sort of function/script this may be and attempt to fix it myself. If not, at least i learned something on this journey. Thank you thread for being super friendly to noob.

Does someone have a foolproof way to recompile a kernel for Ubuntu without breaking my videodrivers? I need to add some patches to my kernel because of some issues with threadripper and KVM and whenever I try to recompile it the way it says on the Ubuntu site, I get an error that says: error running deb-pkg or something. This one: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/234507/kernel-compilation-error-recipe-for-target-deb-pkg-failed Now I have used kpkg and that seems to work, but after upgrading from 4.13.0.36 to 14.13.23 my Nvidia drivers break and purging them with apt purge nvidia* seems to have broken Nouveau also. So no video

Mr Shiny Pants posted:Does someone have a foolproof way to recompile a kernel for Ubuntu without breaking my videodrivers? In that stack-overflow there someone suggests trying make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_image . In any event, the nvidia drivers (proprietary) would not get compiled for the new kernel by default. Depending how you installed them you need to compile the module for the new kernel. For akmod running akmods --force should do it. If you install it manually (if you are in the "compile my own kernel" stage of linux usage, you can install it manually) then just compile it for the new kernel. Personally when I get a new kernel for my machine (fedora) i just recompile the nvidia package for the new kernel using this: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.25.run -a -K --kernel-name=4.15.6-300.fc27.x86_64 --no-nvidia-modprobe -s --no-x-check find the kernel name from /lib/modules/ and update as neccessary . If the mesa packages got updated, just re-run the entire thing.

Trip report: ended up getting a 1050 Ti since it seemed to be the best bang for the buck. Took out the placeholder Quadro, installed the 1050 and that's it. Worked out of the box with Noveau with zero fiddling and installing the Nvidia drivers was just adding the repository to Yast with a click or two, select the driver and we're off to the races. Cranked Day of Infamy to max settings and still smooth. I guess because I had been using the default AMD drivers previously, there wasn't anything to uninstall. Honestly, I've had a lot of worse upgrades with Windows. I was quite impressed with how well everything played out.

For your sake I'd like to be wrong, but I've never seen anything like that without the hardware itself having issues. You might need some firmware to get your WiFi going: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Firmware The kernel will usually spew out errors when something is missing, so check dmesg and system logs for clues. lspci should also list your WiFi chip.

Does the choice of GNOME vs KDE matter if I don't care about or use any of the built in apps? I've only ever used GNOME because that's just the default, but I don't use any of the bundled apps. The only bundled apps I use are terminal. I don't use gnome calendar, or libreoffice, or or gnome maps, rhythmbox, etc. I guess I occasionally use gnome calculator, and that's it. I have no opinions about whatever app the file manager thing is called, because I just copy and move and organize my files in the terminal anyway. I open all my desktop applications by hitting the windows key and typing, e.g., "chrom" and hitting enter.

KDE is basically the windows experience with added virtual desktops, except if you go into settings you can change every single setting ever, there's like 5 billion of them, to make the window management behaviour suit your workflow. Gnome is the gnome experience, and you either like it or don't, and there's really not much you can do about it, especially in gnome 3. If you never use any bundled apps, it super doesn't matter which you use, besides the window management part. If gnome's works for you stay with that. That said, IMO gnome-terminal is the superior terminal app, and dolphin is the superior file manager app, so I use those regardless of which desktop environment I'm on.

I also don't like messing around with settings to fine tune details and would prefer something that "just works" and "looks okay" out of the box.

KDE does look good(which is a matter of opinion) and does just work... it can just be tweaked to work better for you personally. Also being able to choose between 5 different animations for minimizing a window is awesome.

Even if you use any/some of the Gnome or KDE apps you can still use the other DE. With that being said, both DEs are on the heavy side. There are many lighter desktops out there (XFce, cinnamon or lxqt among others).

Qt based DEs are more Windows like in appearance and functionality. Like the old days where you'd go to Settings with certain programs and millions of checkboxes, dropboxes and tabs would vomit all over your screen so that you can configure every possible thing, like if the About Box should remember its screen positioning when you close it or not . And thus KDE was founded. On the other side "what if we made it like Mac OS, but not as intuitive and hid very important settings to frustrate power users" is the basis of Gnome.

The only thing missing right now is hibernation, would it be possible to get hibernation working and it also working with a running VM?

And another thing, can I say how awesome KVM, Qemu and Libvirt are? GPU passthrough is really something else in combination with lookingglass.

After 6 months I had to give it back. There are probably a lot of things MacOS UI is, but it isn't: - intuitive - work friendly In all my 6 months of struggling with that junk, I don't think there were 5 minutes passing by without me asking in vain: "who the gently caress thought that X was a good idea?". X varied from the Finder behaviour, terminal behaviour, application X behaviour, UI as a whole behaviour. And it has no settings to speak of (just like Gnome). Either you like it (suck it up) or you don't. I could change the wallpaper - whoopee. Hardware-wise it was fine (other than the keyboard, it was a laptop afterall) . The UI they slapped on top of Darwin/FreeBSD was mindbogglingly wrong in every way.

Eh, when it was new OSX was a big loving deal because KDE and Gnome were barely usable pieces of poo poo and hardware support on laptops was a colossal chore for linux. Having a posix backed system with a polished UI and all hardware under full support (well, all hardware that Apple sold) was a goddamn luxury.. there's a good reason they became the laptop of choice where I'm at (which is 100% linux administration). It's certainly not as pristine as it once was, there's a lot of feature bloat, but it's not hard to ignore all of it if you want to. Install Chrome and iTerm and there's nothing else you need out of it.

Gnome 1 with Enlightenment and Gnome 2 were amazing. KDE 3,4 and 5 were quite good after the initial birthing stage. Hardware-wise though, true, that was always a painful spot for linux with hardware manufacturers only making lovely windows drivers, broken ACPI implementations and so on. Nowadays though the situation is quite a bit better in terms of hardware supported, but is still isn't 100%. Probably will never be. Edit2: Actually xzzy, now it makes sense why in the windows thread you were so against people using wine for their windows apps needs: you never used linux on a desktop. As a day to day driver. Maybe you did in 1998 for a couple of hours, hit a snag then back to windows or Mac it was for you. quote:But I administer linux servers for a living Volguus fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Mar 8, 2018 |
