i think there's like a billion powerline shell extensions, so which one?

https://github.com/banga/powerline-shell this has a few symbols but no giant circle

sometimes there's a special font you need or you can't use some really limited font like fixedsys

Ah okay, then it's this one: https://github.com/simnalamburt/shellder .
It's using the DejaVu Sans Mono patched font on urxvt, and looks exactly like the line in that image.

i had to track down a 4.8 kernel package because i upgraded to 4.9 and it wiped my zfs kernel modules. then i spent most of the day learning kickstart and the libvirt tools and setting up a bridge interface.

the problem is that because combining the products is a license violation, zfs on linux is a rare circumstance and there are very few users

it's almost totally un-tested. you might as well be running btrfs

i assume they have unit tests. it works on my machine

i had a problem with the fedora installer when it would just hang forever with a mdadm array and i had to unplug all of the drives and install like it was loving windows all over again. im skipping 25 on my local rig though. also cockpit never worked for some reason

fedora wiped my zfs dkms stuff a while back and i had to track down older kernel packages. i wish it would stop the upgrade if it couldn't build the modules but idk how any of that stuff works

spankmeister posted:

You can always boot an older kernel

im a bit fuzzy on what happened, but fedora only has 1 kernel-headers package installed and i think it cleaned everything out when it triggered a rebuild. maybe i screwed it up myself but i remember tracking down an older set of kernel packages and pinning them to that version until zfs updated.

spankmeister posted:

You have to install the metapackage for kernel headers instead of specific ones, that way it will always get updated with your kernel.

the kernel headers go into /usr/include instead of something versioned, so everything gets built against 4.9.17 headers (i guess)

i had to laugh at this https://soylentnews.org/meta/article.pl?sid=17/04/20/1055218

Two months ago, I polled the community for advice on the underlying operating system that should power SoylentNews (SN). After reading comments, and some recent experiences in my personal and professional life, we are migrating to Gentoo as the operating system of choice.

second place was freebsd

speaking of Linux Isos, i guess rtorrent lets you daemonize it easier so i upgraded that. i ahd to spend like an hour figuring out why xml rpc didnt work and it was some autoconf issue so i just deleted the if guards around the code and it worked

i'm retarded about these things but it looks like you just cant lock the file twice. it looks like a easier patch to rtorrent to just use syslog

I had an issue in Fedora last month where graphical logins wouldn't work after a system update.

A day later, there were a bunch of updates for X (I think) and that fixed the issue.

The worst part was that I couldn't figure out what was updated and how to roll things back, even after looking at the package manager logs.

Maybe I should just let updates cook for a day or two before installing...

you can try rolling back an operation with dnf history

dnf 2 fixes a bug or missing feature i had a while back that i cant remember now

fedora modular looks interesting but it 's probably a giant developer shop only feature

looks like mostly a big plumbing release though
