kalstrams posted:getting shamed for janitoring my linux in the lotd thread, smh what were your flags for compiling. 9/10 when i compile poo poo from source, i don't give it the proper flags and my LD_CONFIG fucks poo poo up or they want me to add some poo poo to it, idk. Some stuff is easy to compile from source but dependencies can be a bitch. kalstrams posted:yeah but i really like janitoring computers, i reinstal oses and fix random poo poo for fun. setting things up and/or getting them work is p rewarding make some chef community scripts. also i do as well and do it has become part of my job description.

kalstrams posted:i wasn't even bothering with flags, just the usual configure, make, make install charade, primarily. the only thing that didn't compile compile properly was vp9 and i didnt feel that involved to follow up and see what was the problem. i got stuck a bit on some of the things not finding their way to compiling the ffmpeg in itself, and around the time i was looking into it not seeing freshly compiled x264, i noticed that it was loving hell o'clock p much anything that is a dependency is gonna need some flags in my experience. stuff that depends on other poo poo doesn't really matter but dependencies always gently caress up since they don't know where your OS maintainer decided to put poo poo. Is it /usr/local/bin? or /usr/bin/? etc. chef is pretty great though. v nice to just automate stuff you do a lot

Notorious b.s.d. posted:it's less important to write policy than to be able to troubleshoot policy Yeah I don't seem to really have a problem adapting the system to work with generic applications like databases & web servers. I'm just hoping to eventually get to the point where I can write some policies for my companies product. So far I've started by trying to write a policy for tranmission daemon and it's web gui. P interesting stuff

so moving a uefi ubuntu installed hard drive from one computer to another doesn't allow it to boot. grub doesn't even show up. 2017 is definitely shaping up!!

The_Franz posted:uefi has a fallback to look for a boot loader in EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi (which is where everyone else puts it) if there is no entry or a bad entry in nvram, but for some reason ubuntu installs it in a different path so the fallback behavior won't work. yeah ubuntu doesn't make that. figured that out like an hour ago. cheers tho. wish i had checked this thread earlier

wow tapping into the ansible api is a bit more complex than setting up paramiko but than you can use all the modules. shame the docs on it are not that great but reading the source hasn't been to painful. beats jinja'ing yaml files i guess. also all linux desktops are really bad at 4k scaling besides kde atm, gnome3 is barely okay. b0red fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Sep 4, 2017 |

Tankakern posted:funny you should mention that, kde sucks a bit too if you have docking! Yeah saw a lot of people bitching about mixed scaling with laptops. Seems like a bit of a nightmare. I'm not familar with the graphical stack in the slightest but it would be nice if this was something left to the graphics card drivers/manufacturer. nvidia-settings was the first place I started looking for decent scaling settings. seems to be some xrandr/font changes you could do as well. mostly seemed to depend on how barebones you are going. to many arch posts of tiling kids with nothing but firefox, terminals and mpv. gnome is laughable with their lack of decimal scaling. just 1->2.

G-III posted:I loved using Ubuntu on my desktop until I upgraded to a 4k display. At that point the integrated graphics on my MB wasn't enough to get ubuntu to run smoothly at full resolution and for the life of me I can't get any nvidia drivers to work right so that I could use my 980ti. So I'm back on windows and that sucks but that's how it goes. i have never had a good 4k experience on linux
