sorry meant

>in the screenfetch
I'm pretty sure that's neofetch which doesn't show fields which are empty/"None".

How do i copy text in terminal? I need to open a text file, copy a passage, then connect via ssh onto another pc and paste that text i copied into another text file

>why does not show a DE in the screenfetch
They're using i3 which isn't a "DE", it's a "WM" (window manager).

>how do I make my windows have thin borders like that?
Use i3

- Terminal could have it's own clipboard depending on which you use. Check the "Edit" menu if it has such a thing.
- In X11, highlighting text will copy it, and middle-mouse button will paste.
- If you use a multiplexer like tmux or screen they also have their own copy-paste buffers.

sincerest gratitude

>middle-mouse button will paste
Shift+insert works everywhere to, including oftentimes on windows too.

Oh shit when i use ssh command in an sshed terminal it actually does sshception, that is pretty cool

xclip or xsel?

So I have this exact laptop and someone posted this on help forum.

This is sort of an odd question but bear with me. I'd like to change the checksum of a batch of my images. Is there a bash command to do this? I know all I need to do to accomplish this is alter one pixel in each image, but I don't know how to do this.

Is that Sam Hyde?

Try it, it's harmless. Good luck.

I'm going to research first, because it sounds scary because of grup and override parts

>it's harmless
Famous last words?

NOTE TO SELF:
Switched live USB to another port and this stopped appearing and managed to boot Ubuntu.

I wanted to try out Arch so I installed it in virtualbox with the LARBS script to try it out but i3 is very glitchy, see the screenshot. How can I fix this?

There are terminal hex editors, you can probably get dd to not overwrite.

I had this problem with mine and I'm sorta still trying to fix it. You're using compton right? Changing the backend from glx to xrender fixed that for me.

That being said, I am running AMDGPU can I really not run glx for compton? I either get a black screen or those graphical bugs.

CPU soft lock up when trying to shut down or reboot :l

yes I am using compton, changing the backend to xrender in compton.conf did nothing for me. Tried to increase the video memory also did nothing...

A guy that pays to keep his fanbase happy. Complete loser with no friends.

hm. Try adding

>paint-on-overlay = true;

to your config too.

nope. Removing compton did the trick :P.
But seriously, maybe it has something to do with vsync? I always have trouble with that.

I have a NVIDIA card btw

I mean it's definitely a compton problem because killing compton fixed it for me too. But compton is really the best option unfortunately. When you would add those lines to the config, you did kill and relaunch compton right?

wait. It worked! I was editing /etc/xdg/compton.conf instead of ~/.config/compton.conf. Changing the renderer to xrender did the trick! Thanks

You got it, fampai. Now to try and get glx to work.

GRUB boots linux with specific settings (like acpi settings, splash screen, verbosity, etc). Overwrite here refers to changing default settings how linux boots. It doesn't overwrite your trap porn.

How to add artists and stuff like that to .mp3 files?

you edit their id3 tags with a program of your choosing.

most music playing software should be able to do this

exfalso is a good tagging program.

Thanks.

I have a problem with .mkv files randomly deciding if they will/won't play.

>try to play movie I downloaded, I'd previously watched this exact file no problem
>won't load on VLC or default video player - timer shows as 0.00 seconds, no codec information, "could not determine type of stream" error message, et cetera
>some weeks later I try same file again, it just werks
>except now I have a different .mkv file refusing to play, again one I'd previously watched no problem

What gives? It's like the files are randomly corrupting and un-corrupting themselves.

Best distro/de for hidpi screen? Been using so many distros but in the end I have to come back to Ubuntu/Unity because it's the only one that's got decent fractional scaling for my 1440p 14" display.

Use mpv

My keyboard defaults to 104-key rollover, are there any drivers or something that would make it work as intended, currently it messes up modifier keys if I do not switch to 6-key rollover

>Ubuntu/Unity because it's the only one that's got decent fractional scaling for my 1440p 14" display.
Ubuntu uses the same software you would use on another distro

Gnome has the best scaling but it cant do fraction, only double, triple etc
Kde will do fraction but it doesnt look as good
Id use gnome if I were you and scale too 200%, then make fonts smaller and install a theme with less padding than default

How do I amek XFCE4 look good? This is as far as I can get without any intense research. Did I do good?

sup Quentin, make the taskbar fully black and the window items flat

Like this?

Isn't there an option to make selected buttons flat or something? Sorry, haven't used xfce in a long time. But you have a nice setup dude, but you can't really rice with xfce tho

I have no idea. But thank you anyways!

two things I miss about unity:
the start menu wasn't like window 8 - i.e. whole screen
the title and FILE EDIT ETC were integrated into the top task bar.

How do I get these back, or at least what are they called?

>the title and FILE EDIT ETC were integrated into the top task bar.

So you have a thinkpad. I assume you used an external GPU right?

I've actually been looking at ways to connect one, but no, not yet. I cheated big time since it's just a stream coming from a desktop through Steam, but I was pleasantly surprised with controls responsiveness and it looks pretty damn comfy

What are your U/D stream speeds? Is the delay noticeable at all?

I updated 16.04.4 LTS to 17.10 (didn't realise 18 was coming soon). When I updated I lost a lot of programs. Will this happen everytime I update?

thanks.

Nevermind, just copied the original rc.xml file over to the .config/openbox folder one and changed some shit

Do I need a separate /boot partition for a single user laptop installation?

steam reports the delay as somewhere around 40ms, which is quite doable for most games and barely noticeable in this one.
AC: Origins would be really hard to play this way on most systems though since the game is a very special snowflake when it comes to CPU usage and runs poorly on

I took the leap and am dual booting linux for the first time today

>supporting a corrupt fuck

If I put a "." symbol at the start of a folder that just hides it without messing up any programs that use it right? I've installed a few different things and they've cluttered up my home folder so I want to hide them.

No, ~/.nuggets is not the same address as ~/nuggets. You can't hide them without breaking them.

Is linux normie now or anti-normie?

Linux is pretty normie, but not as normie as NT.

come to bsd, we're underground

How viable is it to use Word/Excel/Powerpoint 2016 on Linux? What's the best route? I need to use them for certification purposes (yeah, yeah.)

MacOS is the most normie of all

>I need
Found the bug.

Nobody uses NT, retard. It's old as fuck. It's literally 25-years old, and hasn't had support in like 15 years, you fucking moron!

Erm, plenty of normies use the Linux kernel!

more like you're irrelevant

safety first, keep windows shit in a virtual machine where it can't do harm

Boys, I've got a first generation Dell Latitude XT with 2GB of RAM and some ancient ATI GPU and no HDD, what do

A contradiction. How can a female have a penis?
