Martytoof posted:the utility is 'cat' and the relevant stuff lives in /proc Someone in IRC told me about "lshw -short" which is pretty great and has all the info I wanted. Also CentOS sucks because it didn't come with lshw installed, ended up using a ubuntu live usb stick. Got all my specs now.

Glad you found what you were looking for. My mind kept going back to 'hinv' but I'm just dating myself with that.

There's also HDT (Hardware Detection Tool), which you can boot directly into; main advantage over LSHW is that it starts up in seconds and will fit on anything.

Can i3 dynamically change the size/position of a window based on its title? Say I'm switching buffers in Emacs, and based on the name of the buffer (or the filetype displayed in the buffer) it would change the window geometry.

The gnome screenshot tool doesn't seem to have a way to capture a second screenshot without running the program again, am I missing something? I usually just want to copy to the clipboard, then take another screenshot. What should I use instead?

You could experiment with Ksnapshot...

I tried ksnapshot and shutter. Ksnapshot allows taking more than one screenshot. Shutter seems pretty nice for taking a bunch of shots. I also found out the default gnome hotkey ctrl-shift-prtscrn does exactly what I originally wanted with minimal fuss - select an area and copy to the clipboard.

So uh, I gave the Fedora 25 beta live image a spin. Nouveau and the Gnome Wayland session start up fine, however my mouse cursor is not moving. It is registering mouse input, because wildly jockeying the mouse, various controls gain focus and react to clicks, but the visual cursor itself remains stuck in the top left corner. It even changes monitors when I move the invisible pointer between them, but always top left corner. Anyone seen that before and how that can be fixed?

6-DOF controller for CAD (and Google Earth). Anyway, it seems a bug. I managed to find a report from someone else. Hope this gets fixed, because I can't even boot into Xorg in Fedora 24 with what nouveau being too outdated in it to drive my GTX 1070. --edit: http://www.3dconnexion.com/products/spacemouse/spacemousepro.html Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Nov 5, 2016 |

How is Fedora's 4K support? I want to get a better display but I have no idea what the current standard in Linux hi-res stuff is. For reference my current display is 1080p. Am I going to have to edit Xorg.conf like its 2005 again?

Am I going to have to edit Xorg.conf like its 2005 again? (Note: this is SUSE using X11; I have no experience with Wayland.) I've got a 3k screen on my laptop, and in KDE changing Appearance->Font->Force DPI from 96 to 192 makes most things work fine. Presumably GNOME has a similar setting. Not sure about other DEs. Note that I said "most things". Exceptions I've seen tend to be gaming-related: - Steam doesn't respect the DPI setting, so everything is tiny (it has this problem on windows, too) - PlayOnLinux is completely busted, since it respects the DPI setting but positions all its UI elements using absolute pixel values - Wine supports high DPI settings ok, but stuff running in wine usually doesn't - Some games just completely freak out when presented with a resolution this high and leave the X server in a completely unusable state My solution to this has just been to start a second X session as a throwaway "gaming" account running at 1440x810 and do my gaming on that, one those occasions when I'm gaming on my laptop.

Some application (non-gtk) still have issues, but it's much better than it used to be. Wayland is nearly perfect

I need some help with my homework, I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but here goes: I need to modify the default useradd behavior so each new user gets automatically added to a few specified secondary groups, I have looked all over the internet but searching for this mainly shows me tutorials on how to use useradd or groupadd or similar unhelpful results. I know I can do it for the default group, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with secondary groups.

Not sure how new you are to linux but this is a great time to start using the man command. man useradd: −G, −−groups GROUP1[,GROUP2,...[,GROUPN]]] A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of. Each group is separated from the next by a comma, with no intervening whitespace. The groups are subject to the same restrictions as the group given with the −g option. The default is for the user to belong only to the initial group. LochNessMonster fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Nov 8, 2016 |

From the "modify default useradd behaviour" i understand it as the problem not being "how do i groups", but "how do i make it so 'useradd username' always automatically puts them in groups?", maybe? Porkinson, is this correct? Does it need to be systemwide or is it okay if it's only for your user?

What's the best way to get applications in a Windows VM to display on the Linux desktop seamlessly? IIRC there's SeamlessRDP, but it apparently it relies on the ability to spawn an arbitrary number of RDP sessions, which is a no-go on client Windows.

Are AMD video card drivers still a nightmare? Upgrading my video card for dual boot gaming for the first time in like 6 years but I want to use it with Linux too, not sure if I should consider their cards or not.

So, I'm being dragged into being the admin our some linux servers after some coworkers left. While I was able to keep things going for awhile, we had some pretty serious DNS problems a few weeks ago that we still haven't fully resolved. However, is there a recommended book I should be going over? I'm not sure if I'll be able to get real training any time soon, so a book and frantically googling. We are running RHEL for reference.

Yeah, I've got an AMD RX 460, and with a 4.8 kernel (it has issues on 4.7 due to lacking power management) and recent Mesa (12+, ideally 13), it's running Saints Row 4 and Dolphin decently on the open source drivers. Nothing too heavy, but it's a RX 460 so that's always going to be the case.

BIND?) the free Zytrax online book is solid. They also sell an expanded one called Pro DNS and BIND or something like that. For Linux in general, see if they'll at least spring for an RHCSA study guide. Evi Nemeth's UNIX and Linux administration handbook is also outstanding for the fundamentals.

Yea, its BIND, it started doing a really odd thing and with some help of a external vendor we managed to beat it back into submission, even he was pretty stumped.

How do I figure out why my nginx systemd service doesn't start automatically on system boot?code:
|
|
# ? Nov 14, 2016 21:12 |
|
I don't use nginx enough to be any kind of authoirty, but isn't -t to test the config? If that command doesn't return 0 the service won't start. There is an option to tell systemd to not abort if a ExecStartPre fails, put a minus after the equals sign. ExecStartPre=-/opt/nginx-1.8.1/sbin/nginx -t But I imagine you would want the config test to exit cleanly.
|
# ? Nov 14, 2016 21:19 |
|
Is it enabled? See status with systemctl status nginx Enable with systemctl enable nginx edit: and did you not paste everything? Because that output is missing actual entries under [Install], meaning it cannot be enabled.
|
# ? Nov 14, 2016 21:24 |
Config test looks like it's ok, so maybe not that. That is the entirety of the nginx.service file, there's nothing under [Install]. I don't know much about systemd yet, this was generated by the chef_nginx cookbook. code:
