>mfw there are freetards in this very thread using google botnet captcha to post on a closed source proprietary software imageboard
Logan Brooks
reposting in the new thread cause I'm still pretty fucking chuffed with myself
ok managed to find a solution or "hack" (if I'm using that term correctly) to get yanking to system clipboard working on fedora since fedora doesn't have vim-gnome and I didn't want to recompile what I did was added
set clipboard=unnamed set clipboard+=unnamedplus
to vimrc
so yanking goes to system clipboard by default, but I still had -clipboard in vim so I installed gvim then made the alias vim = gvim -v in my bashrc
then I can just do shift+v, highlight the lines I want then just hit y and I'm golden - not gunna lie feeling pretty cocky right now
But Linux will always be Linux and not BULLSHIT/Linux.

How do I prevent the malware in a compromised USB plugnplay driver from infecting my gentoo machine
David Ortiz
Is there a way to find things with grep and then print the information that comes after that regex term? Say I have a file that's something like [STRING] [TEXT1] [STRING] [TEXT2] [STRING] [TEXT3] and so on. I want to grab everything after "[STRING] " but not "[STRING] " itself.

>not using proprietary software >using """""""libre""""""" crapware >not knowing the feeling of actually getting shit done How can anybody be this delusional?
Lucas Collins
Why do your morals and ethics mean so little?
Oliver Mitchell
Yes -A and -B. Check the manpage.
Daniel Gomez
you are already running malware. i believe gentoo uses both gnu and linux
Jace Ortiz
That just prints lines after the term. I want it to print the line it finds [STRING] in, but remove [STRING] from the printed line. Like this: $ grep [some option] [STRING] file [TEXT1] [TEXT2]
Zachary Butler
perl -nle 'm/.*\[(.*)\].*/ and print $1'
Ian Perez
oops read your request wrong perl -nle 'm/.*\[.*\](.*)/ and print $1'
Jonathan Gonzalez
holy shit, how did you make that your tripcode is a word??? it looks fucking cool!
Joshua Sullivan
one more question: what is the meaning of that chinese (?) word?
Ryder Garcia
I don't want to use perl.
Charles Clark
I'm also interested. Looks pretty 1337.
Alexander Torres
grep -Po '(?
Asher Flores
Additionally: grep -Po '(?

If I want to add a keyboard shortcut to KDE to push a window to another workspace, where should I be looking within the Shortcuts Settings page?
For the life of me I can't find anything in it which is a good lead. I also checked Workspace Settings, Activity Settings, and Virtual Desktop Settings, in case it's in one of those. I know I can click the top-left icon to move it, but a keyboard shortcut will obviously be faster.
Benjamin Brown
In case KDE can't make it up, try wmctrl + xdotool.
Christian Ward
I'll check these out if KDE can't do it on its own, thanks.
I feel like there's gotta be something I'm missing. I know KDE likes to push activities over workspaces, but I'd be rather disappointed if they actually managed to forget something so simple because of it.
Henry Martin
Is there any good argument for why I should or shouldn't use the LTS versions for Ubuntu?
Gavin Morgan
Is it possible to enable custom stylesheets in Stylish for Firefox programmatically, say from a bash script? I tried toggling the value in the "enabled" column in stylish.sqlite but that didn't seem to be enough.
Benjamin Perez
Why is it that when I press the 'Caps Lock Key' on my laptop (new razar blade laptop) it freezes the screen and distorts it?
>OS ubuntu latest version
Logan Phillips
Trying out Xubuntu now. On regular Ubuntu, all I have to do is right click a folder and there is a "Share this Folder" option.
Is there an easy way to get that back for Xubuntu? I tried downloading Nautilus and launching that, but it's not there.
I found a command that works, but I liked the way it changed the appearance of the folder, etc
Mason Richardson
Try out dolphin, i think it has this
Luke Mitchell
Scratch that. Found "nautilus-share", I didn't search well at all the first time. This is good enough.
Leo Williams
I switched to Xubuntu to try out XFCE...but my CPU usage is even higher now for file transfers.
Lucas Torres
>ntfs >smbd Maybe try not using some shitty fuse ntfs or Windows sharing garbage.
Switch to something like ext4 and nfs and you won't have this problem.
Noah Garcia
I have fell for the OpenSUSE meme
:/
Isaiah Jenkins
I I need this shared drive to be accessible from Windows though also, so aren't I stuck with NTFS?
Anthony Cruz
good, now fall for the reddit meme since that is where you truly belong if you think "meme" means what it "means"
Jason Wright
I fall for that meme everyday
Justin Parker
well done, now stop falling for the Sup Forums meme and you're all set
Justin Sanchez
Anyone else have issues with NetworkManager dropping connections, not showing possible connections, and all around being slow?
Angel Stewart
I posted in the last thread, didn't notice everyone left for this one
I'm having trouble getting mpd to read my usb based external hdd
Ryan Clark
Yeah, use based proprietary software instead of "free" garbage next time.
Isaiah Sanders
Like what?
Leo Cox
Literally anything that is proprietary will be better.
Jordan Clark
Wicd it is
Matthew Brooks
I believe that is open source trash as well
Grayson Stewart
I can't read the source code so it might as well be proprietary heh heh
Leo Phillips
But it'll still be extremely low quality like all "free" trash is by definition
Isaac Peterson
How do I use something like wget to download all of the images in a Sup Forums thread?
I found this command that might work, but there is no explanation to it
curl -s $1 | grep -o -i '
Elijah Watson
Instead of grepping+seding HTML like a moron you could also use the JSON API and something like ‘jq’
Nathan Flores
just use the option to download every link from a page then delete anything that's not jpg, png, gif and webm
Elijah Peterson
but downloading the whole html page wastes slightly more bandwidth and makes the site slightly more expensive for that japanese turd who owns it
Lucas Jones
Going to install Linux today over my W10. Any last things I should know?
Mason Howard
Right now I have 4x4tb in mdadm raid10 which is backed up onto 3x3tb lvm spanned volume.
I'm wanting to gain some extra storage and was thinking of converting the raid10 into a raid5 and buy an additional 3tb drive to expand the lvm volume. Does this make sense?
I'm essentially not bothered about redundancy but if I pooled the 4x4tb drives i wouldn't have enough storage to back it all up.
The name GNU is ugly and Stallman is an autist who hasn't coded in years.
Oliver Brooks
wtf I hate gnu now
Jose Anderson
Linux will always be Linux and not BULLSHIT/Linux. That kike RMS is just trying to steal credit from some white man who labored for years over his project and made it.
Michael Cook
wtf I hate rms now
Hudson Edwards
What file needs to be edited to change username and hostname on Android? Using Termux
Luke Edwards
This is why no one takes Linux seriously.
Eli Young
Shitposting retard
Henry Sanchez
The hostname file located in /etc
Alexander Davis
thanks
Josiah Brown
Yeah, expect all the companies which are actively contributing to it while h*rd still doesn't have basic sound support lmao
Dominic Bennett
So, Linus named Linux. So why is this fat commie trying to steal Linus' success away from him by trying to rename something that Linus created?
Dominic James
is there a way to de-gnu my arch install?
Luke Phillips
anyone?
Angel Wright
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root $GNU/
Isaiah Ross
>arch Linux is cuckold communist trash. BSD is not cucked and is pro white and not controlled by kikes.
Gavin Taylor
wtf I hate linux now
Ryan Garcia
Sometimes the truth is hard to understand. It's promoted by a literal autist communist sociopath faglord.
Yeah, it was made for Linux after all and it can't support proper software yet. Maybe in 10 years it'll be even slightly different...
Isaac Walker
>grep -P again, i do not want to, and cannot use, perl. i need to do it with normal regex and possibly other commands.
Jose Sanders
are you stupid you're stupid
Nathan Evans
>are you stupid the version of grep i'm using doesn't support -P flags and i'm unwilling to change it.
Brody Powell
And why is that?
Connor Martin
It's perl syntax, not perl. $ gawk '{ print $2 }'
Juan Edwards
lmao this just shows how much of a joke linux is. nobody takes it seriously and can't be bothered to perform even basic tests
William Clark
The problem isn't kernel related.
Adrian Bailey
really? how do files get deleted without the kernel's involvement? you really should fuck off back to plebbit with such tech illiteracy.
Xavier Russell
The result isn't the problem.
Oliver Perez
Could shitposters please leave this thread alone? Go troll some speccy threads instead.
Jacob Howard
>implying gnu isn't even more of a joke kek
Bentley Collins
VPS design question. On my Debian VPS should I use lxc containers to separate Nginx lemp stack and other services, if so, is there a lxc wiki that I can follow? I've never used containers but it seems to be the future.
also for web facing servers is openssh with private key white listed, fail2ban and otp secure enough, or should I set up another layer of security? Eg. Jump server
Aiden Watson
>leave this thread alone? i think you meant "sub" there buddy
Ryan Thomas
>MoPed do I need to know you? are you an oldfag?
Luis Campbell
or what?
Aiden Johnson
really? so the kernel is not involved in producing that result?
Eli Flores
>gawk '{ print $2 }'
Hunter Hill
You don't need to know me, but advice would be greatly appreciated. I am considering placing a pfsence in front of my lemp stack, but is this really necessary?
Aiden Torres
Not him, but I want to know you. I can help out if you tell me some of your favorite anime
Xavier Diaz
what the fuck is efi and how to deal with it?
a linux installer crashes at the end because it can't write it
Jayden Murphy
sorry, i meant print from the second field until the end of the line. so something like grep [STRING] file | gawk '{ print $2-END }' would work if such a thing exist.
Eli Torres
linux doesn't work with efi motherboards most of the time, seems like you're out of luck. just install windows or something. It's better anyway
Wyatt Morgan
Well, I never watched any, but enjoyed spirited away. Am I to much of a Normy for Sup Forums?
Matthew Nelson
I had linux running on it it's just this new installer that crashes.
