Fuck communism, pedophilia, necrophilia, judaism and bestiality. I'm so glad there's a thread without that shit.

Just get a regular Tux sticker so you don't have to peel it off when you decide to switch distros.

I agree, we shouldn't have anything like that here. Thankfully we only worship Richard M. Stallman, who is neither a communist, a pedophile, a necrophile or into bestiality, and I'm not sure about being a jew. let me tell you a joke: a GNU hater, a SystemD developer and a closet Microsoft admirer walk into a bar..

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Anyone knowledgeable about installing gentoo with UEFI support?
I'm at the point where I should install grub, but it tells me: EFI variables not supported on this system.
Doing some digging, I found that I need to exit the chroot and "modeprobe efivar", but I get
modprobe: FATAL: Module efivar not found in directory
I have also tried modprobe efivars and modprobe efivarfs. Both with the same result. I can only conclude that the minimal installation ISO does not have the ability to do this? Is that correct? And if so, how can I install in UEFI mode?

Alright so I just did a fresh install of debian 8 and this is the process I had to go through to install the IDLE for Python 3.4:
- try to download and install idle-python3.4 package - get told I need python3-tk package - try to download and install python3-tk package - get told I need blt_2.5.3 package - try to download and install blt_2.5.3 package - get told I need tk8.6 package - try to download and install tk8.6 package - Success! - Do all of the above in reverse order
Is this how it's going to be for every package I try to install? Is there an easier way?
Ryan Perry
What?

Aren't you using apt or aptitude?

I tried to reply to a post but it just said "upload failed" when I didn't even try to add an image, assumed mod did some fuckery like what the faggot mods do on leddit.
Probably just chrome shitting the bed, nothing to see here.
Noah Robinson
Tried using apt-get install, but it couldn't find it so I used dpkg -i and that worked
Michael Mitchell
Well if you use that there's no automatic dependency resolving afaik

>FROM NOW ON IT'S /flt/ BECAUSE FUCK COMMIES what is this disinformation bullshit? when will you kids learn the difference between free software and communism? go back to school, faggot
Angel Bennett
How can I use apt to download and install the packages instead?

>disinformation Is that one of the new words, like mansplaining? Jesus, if you can't even argue without sounding like a SJW do you really think people will take you seriously?
This thread still has more unique IPs btw.
I didn't even make the thread, I just find it hilarious when you NEETs get so upset that everyone isn't jumping on your bandwagon. GNU is great and all, just quit shoving it down everyone's throats. Too much of a good thing and all that, eh?
Ayden Rivera
packages.debian.org/stable/python/ Looks like it is in the repos. So you do sudo apt get packageyouwant. You can search with apt search packageyouwant also, if I remember correctly..
