Re: Stammtisch Tuesday
What's crazy is there are still people who think a disease/virus is political. What's really crazy is there are people who think doing anything even slightly inconvenient for the sake/well being/health of others is political. What's really really crazy is those same people consider themselves to be Christians. More sad than crazy that we need a reason to look out for others well being rather than doing so by default, but what do I know.

Re: What is a full-stack PHP developer
As a full-stack developer, I can answer this. But sadly, it's just going to turn into a rant for me. You just about perfectly described a LAMP Administrator. Sadly, I have found the definition of a full-stack developer differs depending on where you look. To some it means the developer is capable of building, or guiding a team to, a project from beginning to end, both front-end and back-end techs. Which means server-side javascript as well as in browser javascript. Full html/css/ and even sass understanding, along with the ability to take a photoshop image and turn it into a website, while having expert knowledge of PHP/Python. Some websites, notably LinkedIn, think a full-stack developer is anyone who writes web code using the entirety of the .NET stack. I absolutely hate LinkedIn. In recent years, and I just went through this trying to find a full-stack developer, while working with our talent acq. group, and others, that a full-stack is basically a web rocket scientist. You have to know a little of everything, have had your hands in everything, and be a rockstar with everything you touch. I try to market myself as a full-stack lamp developer. I keep all my years of .NET off my resume because I don't wan't to use it. A full-stack is expected to understand how to communicate with other techs as well, such as api communication via xml/soap/json and others.

Re: VirtualBox Update 11/15/22
Keith, I'm stretching here... Sounds to me like the firewall may be causing issues with the bridge, or maybe ip forwarding is not enabled? Try turning off the firewall completely and see if there is a difference? I think Ubuntu uses ufw? So try sudo ufw stop or sudo ufw disable Then reboot. You can also try ip forwarding sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 I don't think you need to reboot after this as it happens immediately. Try this before and after the firewall disable.

Cloud Based File Store and Sync
Hey All, I am a long time user of Dropbox, simply to keep a couple gigs of files synced between machines and a laptop. I also use the Android app on occasion, and I appreciate the camera uploads. As most of you are probably aware, Dropbox isn't very friendly any more towards multiple machines so I've been hunting for something else. I like the idea of MEGA and it's end to end encryption...though I'm not sure how much I trust it. I've been using it for a few weeks and at first it seemed really good, but it's been rather flaky lately. So I'm back on the hunt. Any recommendations?

On 2020-02-08 13:15, Matt Graham wrote: So: mount the thing with nobarrier if you want it to create many small files faster. This means that if the power goes out, your data will get corrupted. Your call. Or try running the rsync daemon on the NFS server, since NFS is good for reading, good for writing, and horrible for creating files? That'll show totally different network behavior since it removes NFS's weirdnesses. I tried this, but it would not mount the file system. I couldn't find any errors, it just would silently drop the request. Not sure why. In the process of this, I did backup all the files and rebuild the array, without LVM. This time, I removed the journal from array. Maybe, because there is no journal, nobarrier is ineffective and or causes it to not mount. I'm not convinced a new server or new drives would provide any different experience, and I don't want to change the setup because it works for my needs, but eventually I'll purchase larger drives, so maybe I'll play with the nobarrier option then. (My server is well backed up, and I have it on a battery, so I'm not terribly concerned about the journal anyway. Besides, the volume is encrypted, so if power went out and the server died, the last file being written would be the least of my concerns.) --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

your NFS share mounted with? What was the rsync displaying after 75
minutes? Are the times on both machines the same, or unsynced?
46,000 files seems like it should take a minute or so unless it had to
transfer all the files in full. For comparison, doing "rsync -av
/home/me/ /mnt/backup1/me/" on that 630G filesystem with 1,090,498
files from an ext4 filesystem to a USB2 backup disk took 6 minutes 3
seconds wall-clock time. I don't have anything using NFS at the
moment so I can't check that. However, rsyncing a 15G dir with
150,000 files to my ext4 filesystem on RAID over ssh took ~2 minutes.
The volume on the server is mounted with noatime,nodiratime,noexec
The export on the server is (rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
The mounted export on my system is mounted with
nfsvers=4,proto=tcp,tcp,intr,nolock,sec=sys,noexec,fsc,noatime,nodiratime,x-systemd.idle-timeout=1min
and `mount` shows the actual options as:
(rw,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.238.100,fsc,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.238.1)
Both machines have their time synced.
So I created a 4GB tmpfs and mounted it where I needed and ran my
time backup again and it took 2 minutes and 6 seconds. Obviously my
network is not the issue.
Doesn't tmpfs cache things in RAM? Also, how full is the ext4
destination? My filesystem has only 42% used, which probably avoids
any fragmentation problems. How is the ext4 filesystem mounted? The
thing that helps the most is "noatime", but that's really only a small
win.
Yes, it does, but I figured this would be a good means to remove the HDD
as a potential bottle neck. The first run took two minutes, the second
run was nearly instant. So I ran it again but instead of pushing the
files to the same directory I pushed them to a new directory and it was
just as fast.
Reading files from the server to my desktop is as fast as I would expect
a gigabit network to be. Writing large files to the network storage
works as I expect.
It's just all of these small files that are killing me.
The hard drives in the server at Seagate 7200RPM drives. The processor
does not support aes, despite the file system being on luks2, and
doesn't seem to penalize much.
Is there a program that watches and optimizes placement of files on a
hard drive? I know these exist for windows, but linux?
Can you umount and e2fsck -p the filesystem? That should at least
tell you how fragmented the thing is. The "filefrag" utility will
tell you how fragmented an individual file is. I don't see anything
about defragging tools for ext234 in portage/sys-fs/ but that may be
just me. There is http://vleu.net/shake/ but it's a bit old and I'm
not sure whether it would help you. Finally, make sure you don't see
anything about disk errors in the output from dmesg on the machine
with the RAID, and check that "cat /proc/mdstat" returns UU for that
md device.
Defragging and ext4 filesystem is done with e4defrag

Re: Filesystem Optimization
When I ran the initial test that I stopped after 75 minutes, I should
have noted, I pushed the files to a new directory, so there was no
comparison performed. Nevertheless, the comparison part is rather quick.
The files are transferring at kilobits per second for some reason. I
watched my netdata output while running the transfer, along with other
data transfers, and it shows an iowait of well over 25% min during any
network transfer.
I backed everything up and wiped the drives. I created a software raid 1
and then luksEncrypted the raid device, formatted and mounted. I skipped
the LVM this time around. I want to test with a little less overhead and
see how it goes. If this performs better I might leave it. Otherwise, if
it still gets slow, I'm going to replace this beloved old A6 with a
shiny new Ryzen 3.

Well if you create a new filesystem and do an rsync then there is nothing to compare so the copy should go fast.
If you have 46k files and they need to be compared before overwriting then that may take a little longer.
Try copying a 2gb file across your nfs and see how long that takes. I once had a config error that caused my network copies to run slower than they should.
Also run you rsync a second time to a full tmpfs and check the timing I suspect it will take longer. Not sure how many of your files change, but you might have to let some change to get a better reading.

Email DNS setups for multiple domains using a single domain mail server
I have multiple domains utilizing one single server for all email. I've read multiple documents and got everything setup and working, I think, correctly. My postfix handles all the domains correctly. My dovecot handles all the users correctly. My roundcube handles the multiple accounts correctly. What I'm curious about is my dmarc/dkim setup and my DNS setup. My primary domain looks like A domain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MX domain.com mail handled by domain.com TXT mail._domainkey.domain.com blahblahblahblah TXT _dmarc.domain.com blahblahblahblah SRV _submission._tcp.domain.com directs to domain.com Each additional domain is setup identically, with their own dmarc and dkim, except the mx points back to domain.com so domain.net would look like A domain.net xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MX domain.com mail handled by domain.com TXT mail._domainkey.domain.net diffblahblahblahblah TXT _dmarc.domain.net diffblahblahblahblah SRV _submission._tcp.domain.net directs to domain.net My question is, do I not need to do any of this for the domains that are not actually handling the email, but only for domain.com which actually accepts and sends email?

Zabbix web monitoring
Question for the Zabbix users, I am using weewx with a VangatePro2 weather station and need to make sure the page displaying the weather is being refreshed. Weewx works by talking to the VantagePro weather station and then outputs html based on a template file every 60 seconds. I had a scenario where weewx was running but the weather station was not talking so being that there was new no input, weewx didn't refresh the page. I created a web scenario in Zabbix to monitor the site but it only triggers if i get a response other than 200 and doesn't tell me if the info on the page is old. I'm not sure what I need to do to make sure the page is being refreshed.

Re: Post : INTEL’S SECURITY FLAW IS NO FLAW
The part I find really scary with all of this, as Keith is saying, we are fixing hardware with software, meaning someone can "unpatch" the change. I don't believe that processor microcode can be "unpatched" nor can it easily be patched again to undo what was done. However, what I see as the real issue with all of this is the microcode updates allow software developers to choose whether or not they take advantage of the new IBPB, IBRS, STIBP, and or the retpoline changes. What this means is going forward we are at the mercy of the developers to believe they made the right choice, if they even had a clue to begin with. (by that I mean a developer wasn't a noob, or didn't use some point and click development tool). Remember the days when you could download a virus creation tool that would allow you to make some selections and it would spit out an .exe that would crash a system and made a world full of script kiddies happy? I see something similar to that coming for this. Someone will build a tool to check if X particular piece of code is protected and using memory the way it should be or not. Until compilers get updated, and we have some visual confirmation or something that the running code has been recompiled with the new compiler that enforces use of these new microcode instructions, we're kind of screwed. I didn't have a whole lot of trust in Microsoft before, and now I really don't. I think they will use this to their advantage to force people to upgrade to 10 (notice they said "a few win 10 workloads" but "most" win 7 and 8 workloads?) 0x241A8881.asc Description: application/pgp-keys --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

NFS Issues
Once again I am having NFS issues with Dolphin and a different user. I must say up front that I can traverse the directory structure using midnight-commander and any other command line tool just fine. I have also used the Xfce file manager Thunar and it works just fine. I know my permissions are correct, only Dolphin is having a problem. I generally have permissions 750 on folders and 640 on files. I have users: nathan:x:500:500:Nathan:/home/nathan:/bin/bash classroom:x:507:507:Classroom:/home/classroom:/bin/bash and groups: nathan:x:500: classroom:x:507: These are the same on all the clients and the server hosting the nfs share. I have the following directory structure on my server /Vault (drwxr-xr-x9 nobody users 4.0K Feb 22 14:49 Vault) /Vault/Media (drwxr-x--- 11 nathan users4.0K May 25 14:08 Media) /Vault/Media/Movies (drwxr-x--- 2 nathan parents24K May 25 14:14 Movies) /Vault/Media/Children (drwxr-x--- 4 nathan classroom 4.0K May 25 14:09 Children) /Vault/Media/Children/Movies (drwxr-x--- 2 nathan classroom 4.0K May 25 14:09 Movies) /Vault/Media/Children/Shows (drwxr-x--- 7 nathan classroom 4.0K May 25 14:09 Shows) The classroom user has a default group of classroom and I manually added classroom to the /etc/group file to make sure it is a member of the group. I open Dolphin on any of my clients while logged in as the "classroom" user and navigate to /Vault/Media/Children and then there is nothing in there. It's empty. If I press F4 to open the konsole integration with dolphin I can see the two folders with ls. If I manually enter either one (cd Shows) and then type ls it shows the additional folders and Dolphin registers I'm in the new directory in the url bar, but still nothing shows up. Again, thunar, mc, and everything else I've tried work, anything KDE related does not. I just don't want to switch over to Xfce and stop using KDE. Maybe it's a principal thing, but this should be working, so I want it to work!

It is a shame the development will be lost, and more of a shame that future development will just be a complete waste.

KevinO, How hateful of you to respond in this way. Nathan was just expressing his opinion, honestly honed over many years of listening to Fox News. He needs our support, not our scorn. I've met many like Nathan at varous healthcare rallies. He's the guy who decries Obamacare as "socialized medicine" while collecting his Medicare. He's the guy who physically intimidates little liberal women until a man blocks his way. He's the guy who screams to repeal Obamacare, and then cries when lack of insurance makes him lose his home. He's the guy who thinks rigging elections is a patriotic duty. Let's support Nathan. Perhaps he'll see our point of view when Paul Ryan turns Nathan's Medicare into a gift card system payable at ultra-expensive medical vendors, and is responsible for the huge remainder. Perhaps losing his house because of a broken leg will change his mind. Or maybe not. After all, this is Nathan we're talking about. SteveT Ha ha.

You have completely mischaracterized me in your description, though I find it interesting that you feel the conservatives would be the ones to corner the little old ladies until a responsible liberal comes to her aid. I simply find it naive that anyone would believe "socialized" or any form of government controlled health care will get better. I would like to see real reform, not government control of health care in any form. I'm not suggesting privatization or deregulation either, but government is not the answer to it. They ought to be providing oversight, not policy. A government should be encouraging healthy lifestyles, not by taxing soda and chips or making larger cups at circle K illegal. Just like they should be encouraging families, instead of trying to break them up.

Network Shares
I have long used SMB for network shares in my home environment due to a couple older machines with various versions of windows and some virtual machines that needed access to the same shares. But over time my shares have become rather complex and all the windows machines have been replaced! I'm now in a linux only environment and decided to try NFS instead. I rebuilt shared volume by moving all of the data to an external backup, formatting the volume and manually creating logical directory structures and moving the files back into place from the external volume. Correctly using group permissions and user permissions I am managing 8 users with full access to their respective data and maintaining permissions and I'm really happy with it. Performance doesn't seem to be any different really, most of the machines are on a gigabit network with a couple older machines on a 10/100 hub connected to the gigabit switch. I shutdown my main computer for the weekend and left town. I just got home, booted up the computer and opened Dolphin and my remote volume is empty. I opened the command line and everything is there. I checked with Thunar and again, every thing looks great. What's the deal with KDE apps and nfs volumes? Dolphin can't see anything. Kwrite/Kate are horribly slow when modifying text files over nfs. I thought these problems were fixed. I have been running this setup for about 3 weeks now, so why the sudden problems? -- Regards, Nathan --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Re: Magneto directory / file ownership, and becoming the apache user
A couple more ideas, 1) Create a new user with the same uid as apache, then that user will have write access to the /var/www/html directory 2) Change apache to run as a specific user you choose with login abilities and write ability. This means you edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change the lines that say User apache Group apache to the user and group you want to use. I personally tend to setup a specific user, change apache and php to run as that user, then setup an rsync job to watch my local directory tree and rsync the files to the remote server on change using inotify.

Phoenix Conferences and Events -- Was Upcoming Phoenix Events
Hey all, I'm trying to plan budgets for upcoming conferences and events in the Phoenix area. Sorry, I should have clarified that the first time. Free events are great also, which I can include in calendars for my team, but I'm really interested in non-free (beer) conferences and events that will be in our local area that other programmers are planning on attending. Phoenix so often gets over-looked when it comes to big name tech conferences, I don't want to miss any that actually make it here! -- Regards, Nathan --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Moving vm from one pool to another
Hi all, I am using kvm and have ran into an issue I have on KVM host that is in desperate need of some TLC and I would like to migrate the VMs to another host. The problem I ran into is that I set up an NFS mount on both KVM1 and KVM2 hosts (as instructed by every site I have come across on the subject) however, the pools that actually contain the running guest machines are different on both hosts and no image is currently sitting in the NFS shared pool. If I understand it correctly, in order to migrate a running vm from one host to the next the vm must be in the NFS share so if that is the case, I need to know if there is a way to move a live guest from the local pool to the NFS pool?

Bitlocker and Linux
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I asked my IT department a question today and may have opened pandora's box. I've been allowed to run Fedora on my company laptop for a couple of years now. I am using a personal hard drive for Fedora that way if I needed to I could put the original Windows drive back in and access what ever I needed. I haven't used my Windows drive in over a year now and it's causing some issues with corporate AD and the anti-virus. So I requested installing windows in a VirtualBox and having corporate IT join it to the domain, install av, office suite, and the other stuff I may need but likely never will use, and then I can easily boot it once a week to keep my av up to date. The response was that our insurance requires the use of Bitlocker. Full stop... Their potential solution is to partition the drive to have Windows and Linux but both be encrypted with Bitlocker so they could access the drive contents should I ever leave or die or what ever... I realize encrypting the linux partition with bitlocker is not likely ever going to happen (right?) but are there corporate linux systems that allow IT access to encrypted volumes like Bitlocker and AD? I feel dirty even asking this. Doesn't this defeat the entire purpose of encryption to begin with? ugh... I guess it makes sense, but it sounds like inferior by design. - -- ~~~~ Nathan England -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYBWGMAAoJEOuk7+DwYjzgSIYH/3EtMISD68n5d88CX6XDctYT TcJLb00AVw5TvlK/+aLaMCu6EmkaZlDW+1KMk5pYvxV7MMhdPxKq1+tYbFh17JFG G7DWeXUvEC+tGUmy2fvhBGAyaBC5XWNiXkbmWq+g8D6yKzG90P9rjVn3bL7Yw8P3 8c/CyrncOF50yZieSedDgNPtfb2QWnPmaE0O43CcqTFihAN+5JSViV40YacCMTgS 0raKYspau6hbB9lnWg2ScQx0zIvFJvpIE0xwIYPkBDYGtitHm3YoTaFmv3KFsrV6 OV/X/EOdurtWdsTwxjM2b6qI7ng0P4/xuSdedoK4jH86AnaKZGTy4Ox4OOidCvU= =HOWo -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

I personally don't like spending days trying to make a printer work with some 10 year old rpm or deb file because the company doesn't take me seriously as a customer. I don't remember the last time I plugged an HP printer into any of my fedora systems and it didn't work within a minute of web-cups configuration, or an Ubuntu system that didn't auto configure it to work for me. I spend many years in desktop support and in a computer repair shop and I learned very early on, only use HP ink. I don't like dealing with bad cartridges because the refill company is crappy, or cartridges that suddenly leak because they are cheap and the insides of the printer are full of pools of ink because the cartridge decided to dump its contents. I've never had a problem with HP printers or inks and I'm happy to spend a few more dollars per cartridge to not have to deal with those problems... and before you think I must not print very often I home-school 5 children and we print and copy tons of stuff every day. EVERY day. I recently decided to get into the laser arena and replaced my trust old officejet with a Brother laser printer. My wife won't let me make any future printer decisions. She hates it. My kids hate it. But hey, the toner is cheap and I can get it from all kinds of cheap replacement companies. I'll stick with HP printers.

Re: Cox Business Internet

But at my office, with 50 or so other people using the same Cox dedicated business account with 100mb speeds, it is consistently faster than my house. And at the office most people are streaming music and or netflix while surfing the web, despite all of that traffic speedtests and general surfing speed is noticeably faster. My assumption was the dedicated 100mb vs my shared 150mb and I thought maybe a dedicated 25mb would be cool, plus a bonus of ports I want.

Re: Recommendations for C++ IDE?
I use Komodo IDE and KDEvelop daily. Both have limited git support, but enough for me. My team wants to use vcs but they have yet to jump on, so it's really just me. Komodo Edit is also a great tool and is free (soda) with limited support but works great. Though it lacks some vcs support. I highly recommend both! And I'm sure you have access to Eclipse if nothing else suffices. Though I think personally I would use vi/vim before I would use Eclipse. I cannot stand it's interface.

But I am very frustrated with its interface, no tabs on the edit windows, no pull down menus for file or edit functions, no way I have found so far to 'save as' a project to keep a working version intact while I work on the next stage. Even the file save icon on the top ribbon is greyed out which made me worry for quite awhile if my edits were being saved. And it is very unhelpful in trying to figure out how to fix programming or syntax errors. So if there is another IDE that other people like better I would like to give it a whirl.

Funny you mention this - been struggling with KDE4 and 3x monitors
when NOT using the binary drivers of late. I really liked KDE, using
that predominantly for the past few years on 5-6 montiors just dandy,
but with amd drivers setting up the screens that worked mostly ok.
I moved to 3x 4k displays, got rid of amd binary drivers for
radeon/mesa drivers that were much better (amd binary drivers were
terrible @4k), except it seems a 5 year old bug stilll affects KDE's
screen setup/placement. This was never fixed until kde5, and using
xrandr manually with a script isn't entirely reliable, forcing me to
restart lightdm after it glitches the driver about 1 in 3 times. YaY,
began looking at other desktops to defect, yet again for more ancient
bugs no one sees fit to fix.
TDE looks interesting, but being based on 3.x I wonder, as I hated KDE
back then. Does it do compositing at all? My pref was always
disabling compositing, but with radeon drivers that work sanely, I'm
actually liking kde4 now with kwin/plasma.
I was looking yesterday at getting KDE5.x on this thing, and of course
there isn't a version for 14.04. Upgrading is always significantly
painful with Ubuntu since 11.04, so moving to 15.0x isn't an
attractive option, and 16.04 seemed as big a basketcase as I had tried
it recently on my htpc (*still* can't get intel sound to work by
default!? really?).
I might go back and try Cinnamon/Mate, compositing driver bugs with
amd had made every desktop batsh!t crazy I've found, maybe even
(gasp!) unity. My experiences might be different without crappy video
drivers for all their rampant compositing.
Thanks for sharing!

Re: To Tux or not to Tux (VM's)
Microsoft provides versions of IE ready to go for VirtualBox. You select which version of IE you want and the version of Windows to emulate and they give you a zip file. 1) Download the zip 2) Extract the zip 3) Open VirtualBox and Import Appliance The images expire after 90 days. When that is up you delete the virtual machine and import another one. So don't delete your .zip file. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/linux/ On 2016-04-20 07:17, Keith Smith wrote: Question : I have several Dell desktops and several Dell laptops that came with Windows.

Re: To Tux or not to Tux (VM's)
In all of my experiences with KVM vs VBox it has always come down to "do I need graphical performance?" VBox is stellar when it comes to running a windows vm. I use modern.ie daily for testing old IE versions and current versions and it flat out sucks on kvm. But when it comes to running vm's to host a clients web platform for development KVM runs circles around VBox. --Nathan On 2016-04-19 14:03, Matt Graham wrote: On 2016-04-19 12:12, Wayne D wrote: 1 vote each for VirtualBox and QEMU Pros and Cons of each? QEMU emulates more architectures, like ARM, and it doesn't have any associations with Orrible. Its user interface is much less polished than Virtualbox's. I think that a normal user would probably be more comfortable with Virtualbox for that reason. Not sure how the performance of VMs differs between QEMU and Virtualbox though. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: LinuxMint Question
I appreciate your input. I go back and forth between xfce and kde because I personally really really love the glitchy pig, but sometimes I need to get work done more than mess with windows resizing and screens blacking out. I will look at lxde. On 2015-10-29 08:56, Steve Litt wrote: On Thu, 29 Oct 2015 00:22:02 -0700 Nathan England wrote: My Pastor told me tonight he's had enough of Windows and wants to go to Linux.

IIRC, those Mint front ends had those warm and fuzzy "we're gonna guess what you want next" interfaces. Some people like that, but my take is that logical thinking people just want a static menu that always navigates the same and gives them what they want without upselling. In other words, a Windows 9x start menu. KDE, Xfce and LXDE have those. KDE's a glitchy pig. Xfce is nice, but it's kind of resource expensive and my 4+ year experience with Xfce is that it sometimes does bizarre, glitchy stuff. My (maybe a year, all told) experience with LXDE is it's completely reliable, low resource, and works perfectly alongside an intelligent person. As a huge added plus, it's trivial to add dmenu to LXDE so that to run most programs, one's fingers don't even have to leave the keyboard. By the way, I use Openbox, but I think that's not discoverable enough for the average user.

Re: LinuxMint Question
How is Ubuntu close enough to Windows? I mean KDE at least has a panel with a task bar and such, but doesn't Ubuntu use Unity? I've always been curious why so many throughout the recent past have said that Gnome was closest to Windows when KDE has always been more windows like. Even today, I recently read an article where the author mentioned the similarities between the look and style of Windows and Gnome shell... uhm, what? If anything, Gnome shell is a complete rip off of OS X. Is there something I'm missing? On 2015-10-29 07:36, Mark Phillips wrote: +1 for Ubuntu.

LinuxMint Question
My Pastor told me tonight he's had enough of Windows and wants to go to Linux. I was impressed he even knew it existed, but that's beside the point. It left me with a hard question... LinuxMint Cinnamon or LinuxMint Mate First impressions I like that Mate shows program descriptions (thinking it might be easier for him to find things) and I can drag and drop applications from the menu right to the desktop. But Cinnamon really looks nice and has the latest libraries. So my question is, which is better for a complete noob to linux? He really is only interested in LibreOffice, Chrome and maybe Firefox. -- Nathan England nengl...@nmecs.com http://www.nmecs.com/ Web Developer, Lamp Administrator --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: Void Linux tips
No, you didn't imply it. I looked on their web site and saw no mention of anything KDE but Gnome, Xfce, Mate, and some others. I didn't see the package search function. But it genuinely seemed like a non KDE distro. #KDEMatters On 2015-10-22 13:34, Steve Litt wrote: Void has KDE and tons of its software. The following file lists the output of xbps-query -Rs kde: http://pastebin.ca/3212296 It's true that, to the best of my knowledge and ability, I personally use no KDE software or libraries, but Void supports them. Please tell me where I said or implied that it has no KDE so I can correct it and make it accurate. As far as I know, Void Linux fully supports KDE.
