Crack posted:E:also at the end it said "tar: /: file changed as we read it" does this mean everything backed up successfully apart from the changes or did it stop when it ran into something changing? tar almost never stops on errors. Instead, it finishes what it was told to do, then exits with an error if there were errors on the way. e: I think if you set the exact same password and then just move the homedir over, and set homedir to be encrypted on the new thing, it should just work. Check ecryptfs-utils or somesuch on debian. vvvv: This guy is right though. Truga fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Apr 21, 2015 |

^ Devops is the worst Bhodi posted:Ubuntu server is pretty popular for the companies that want a "minimal" image that they then stick stuff on and spawn a million copies, especially if they're rolling their own bleeding-edged version of apache or doing a lot of computer janitor OS stuff. It's got a really good .pkg format and a small install footprint with less "bloat" which makes it ideal for virtualiztion/cloud stuff where even small size increases to the baseline image is undesirable. This is me, but I use Debian because it works. I have ubuntu on my own VPS and my laptop and it's really good for that, but I don't feel like it'd do well in a production environment (yet?), because sometimes things still break on apt-get upgrade, requiring minor tweaking. Not something I can afford in a production environment with yearly 99.99 SLA, and I haven't had any issues with debian in >6 years now, as opposed to maybe a year with ubuntu. And yeah, having a 200 meg snapshot ready to be spun up, updated, and running on digital ocean in <60 seconds is awesome.

What is the reason you can't set up authorized_keys? I think if it's disabled on the server, you're just out of luck. You can use sshpass to specify a password on the command line, but I wouldn't call that secure...

spankmeister posted:Arch is bad the Arch community is bad but their wiki is a good resource for people who know what they're doing and not for people who want to blindly type in commands to fix whatever their issue is. Arch wiki is to me now what Gentoo wiki used to be. A really good resource for obscure problems you'll never face on real distros, but when something breaks, at least some idiot on Arch wrote something about it so you can fix it in 5 minutes instead of taking an hour. Speaking of which, whatever happened to Gentoo's wiki? I haven't seen it in my google results for a while now.

On the win10 bootloader talk from earlier: I had issues updating a box at work to windows 10, and again to windows 10 anniversary edition, both times because the default bootloader was grub. It'd just fail with a random generic garbage error code (thanks, random post on a random forum on page 20 of google results, for the hint). I had to nuke grub with fixmbr or bootrec or what it's called now both times, before it updated successfully.

Eh, yeah. I always assume people are installing fresh or something. If you have it already installed, just use your distro. It's kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu, @kde-desktop-environment in fedora, and in suse it's default as pointed out.

a dhcp server lunix would probably run on like 16mb, but most distros use a ramfs to load some initial kernel modules so you need enough to fit that, plus whatever you want to actually run. on ubuntu you can set MODULES=dep (default is MODULES=most) in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and it should shrink initramfs size by quite a bit. 64 megs should definitely be more than enough for such a vm.

Intel, after being on top of their game for many years, to the point that their gpu drivers were often better on linux than on windows, has completely dropped the ball on skylake HD5xx igpus, and they're poo poo on linux. I haven't had to deal with it myself yet, but someone I know has and you're in for a ride. It's supposedly better on the latest kernels, which probably aren't going to be in stable debian for another 2-3 years. I hope your friend enjoys using backports.

Tigren posted:What part of your work flow do you have trouble with in Gnome 3? There appears to be no way to set a keyboard model or at least custom xkb options in gnome 3. In KDE I set my keyboard model to chomebook and everything on my chomebook works mostly as you'd expect these days. In gnome, the only way to do that I could find was through a terminal, and the settings are lost every time I switch layout languages (and I switch often). Just this pretty much prevents me from using it.

I'd just really like something good, and systemd can sometimes be very short of that simple benchmark. It definitely has its problems. That doesn't mean I won't use it until something better comes along though, because while it's a pile of poo poo at times, it also isn't a literal mountain of poo poo like the poo poo it replaced so

Hello, friend. Welcome to post-xmodmap hell, I hope you enjoy your stay. You're probably going to have to modify some xkb files to get this to work consistently. And then modify them again every time there's an update to those files. I can check out how to do this easily tomorrow, since I have some scripts for similar stuff on my work laptop.

hooah posted:Did you have time to look into this? poo poo sorry, forgot all about this. What you want to do should be pretty simple. Basically, you want to run setxkbmap -print. You'll want to look at the symbols line, that'll tell you what file to edit, it should look something like pc+us+inet(evdev)+blablabla on most distros. Open the first file (in fedora's case it's called "pc"), scroll down to <PGUP> and <PGDN> and swap em out. That should make it work. If it's not present in the first file, look in the second, and so on. Ubuntu also used to have xkb cache in /var/lib/xkb/, dunno if this is still a thing (I haven't used ubuntu in a couple years now) so check it out and delete everything in there if it exists. Then do anything to your keyboard settings (change layout, set an option, lock screen/relog/reboot, whatever) and it should be working. It'll work until the next time those files get updated by the system. Obviously this isn't ideal, ideally you'd want a permanent solution, but setting up literally anything with a custom xkb setup never works, because xkb keeps resetting to default settings every time your computer sleeps, locks, you change a layout, and also at random time intervals, so you need to change the system files, rather than just keep a small file in your homedir or /etc/ or whatever. No, I do not know why. XKB keeps getting worse with time. I dunno what was wrong with xmodmap, but poo poo's hosed as far as non-standard keyboards or keyboard layouts go on linux right now, and it really sucks. Yes, xmodmap is crude, but it actually loving works. minato posted:Comedy answer: just monkey patch the kernel to tweak your keys, like this guy: Truga fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Oct 29, 2017 |

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.

You can chain any amount of ssh tunnels, and they'll work just fine. i.e. ssh -L 12345:localhost:12345 gateway 'ssh -L 12345:anything:12345 server' will work just fine when you then connect to localhost:12345 Also, you can use ssh -A to forward your ssh agent to the gateway, though that does mean the person who has root on the gateway can use your agent while you're connected which can be problematic unless you have it set so it asks you to confirm every login attempt or trust said root person completely.

Konsole has been kinda poo poo since about kde 4. The font rendering can get weird at times, as does scrollback, there's apparently now the problem Vostok just described... Terminology uses EFL and is therefore bad. Even if it does work correctly by some insane twist of fate, there's probably a RCE somewhere in it. I dunno, I just use gnome-terminal or terminator (tiling wrapper around the basic gnome terminal) and that works great and has for over 10 years now e: to be fair last time I tried to use konsole was almost 2 years ago now so maybe they've fixed their poo poo.
