Stop being ugly.

im getting ready to install debian on my laptop to duel boot from that to win10, anyone have recomendations for what to isntall first on debian to make it look nice? I'm also looking for a good music player

I'd recommend to wipe windows and go balls deep like a man.

i need to be able to do audio/video editing on my laptop and use dj software like traktor which is only on windows. I know like use gimp for photo editing and audacity, but there isnt really any good free videoe diting softwware on linux, besides cli ffmpeg

Quodlibet is a good music player. It's awesome for large collections and has an excellent tagging support, which is also available separately as Ex Falso.

Remember to enable the contrib repo.

Isn't cinelerra good?
Have you tried wine?

thank you i'll look into cinelerra and wine for traktor

I'm using the fault picture.

Use a VM for the proprietary shit and low-latency Linux.

I want higher taxes. Which Linux distro should I use?

No.

Is there any remedy for io locking on hdds?
I've played around with nice and cpu affinity but when im backing up the entire system hardlocks for 30+ seconds at a time. No entry in dmesg or other logs.

There is no smart issues with the HDDs and running r/rw benchmarks shows optimal performance.

RHEL

Change the io scheduler for the device or tune it a bit.

its currently on bfs. cfq, noop and deadline showed no real performance gain but were less responsive underload compared to bfs.

When you said that you played with nice you meant ionice right?

Are you backingup from what to what?

I've played with ananicy,schedtool,ionice and plain nice its self

Putting the backup process in idle with ionice didn't solve the problem of hardlocking?

:imap ii

:imap Caps_Lock

Which one, /fglt/?

GNU Emacs

lol

What's the difference between shift+mod+r and shift+mod+c in i3?

jk

If you have 4Gigs of RAM or more go with Gnome, otherwise XFCE

It has not.
Also, using rsync locally between disks

Is there a way to change the up/down keys man uses?

This doesn't make any sense. I have no idea of how to help you.

To which? It already supports vim and emacs keybindings.

>Gnome
Avoid this.

I use jkl; instead of hjkl

What tmux prefix binding do you guys use? I can't come up with a good one that doesn't interfere with someone else or is awkward to type.

Why the fuck does Alt+Tab let me delete my prompt in xterm?

alright ive been installing debian9, the amd64 iso file for usb sticks i got here
debian.org/distrib/netinst

but at like the second step in the installation it says "some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate, the missing files are: iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode iwlwifi-10004.ucode and 3, 2, 1.

where do i get these missing firmware files?

Can I disable xterm's keyboard shortcuts?

you can get an installer iso containing the firmware here:
cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/9.4.0 nonfree/amd64/bt-cd/

I wanted to associate all file types with an application (hex editor)
I tried adding generic mimetype (application/*, image/*, etc.) in ~/.config/mimeapps.list, in the .desktop file of the app in /usr/share/applications, also in ~/.local/share/applications/default.list
But none of it worked
If I add a specific mime type like application/pdf it works, but it is too much hassle to do that for every mime type.

What can I do? I googled and found some stackoverflow entries but they didn't work.

Is there a nice solution that doesn't involve too much work?

friendly reminder to set completion-ignore-case on in ~/.inputrc

But it causes my machine to lock up momentarily during the spikes

I used that iso and still asked for the firmware
debian a shit

I want a distro that just works, stable, for developers, not bloated
what distro should I use?

HDD lockup writing the data to the disk

Install gentoo

Linux Mint
what kind of development though? Graphics might be problematic with the drivers for your gpu. Or not. I had problems though. But I can live with it.

make sure the firmware package files on the usb aren't empty files (i had this problem when i created a usb with rufus)

i don't have a debian iso downloaded but the firmware directory shouldn't be hard to find

you can copy them there manually from the iso, just extract or mount it somehow (7-zip or wincdemu)

Stop recommending this garbage distro.

yeah i used that iso but still am getting this

How many cores do I need to run a LINK/RLC node on CentOS? And what else is important to putting in your computer? I'm completely new to Linux and know little about co.puter hardware specs/needs

Why don't you read the guide?

i see it talked about here but see no download link
packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-iwlwifi

nvm i found a download for
packages.debian.org/stretch/all/firmware-iwlwifi/download

il l try putting it on usb

Good old debian wifi boss.
You can do it, believe in yourself.

i used this dl and got past it

what software do you recommend for creating bootable usb?

rufus

dd

what? it says the failing step is: install the base system

Attached: what.jpg (2080x1170, 410K)

Did you use unetbootin to create the bootable usb? I did a quick google, and that could be the issue.

nope rufus, i was using the firmware iso form
but ill try going back to my original iso and add the missing files in

The forum i was on claims there can be issues with using anything other than dd. I've never run into the problem myself though, so idk

what is dd? i just got the same error as my post
from using a different iso

Attached: 1522022700693.png (1248x1920, 1.57M)

dd is a linux program, you can use it to wipe data or copy files, but most people i know just use it to write iso files to usbs.

why did you pick debian? debian is know for its pain in the ass installation.

dwm is easier to hack

I use Ardour for DAW and its pretty neat

>google
sad to hear that

dd is a GNU program

Well, i was using startpage. I meant i did a search.

How does stallmanus dick taste?

I'm using an evo 840 SSD though

okay now im dealing with this error, i used unetbootin to make a bootable usb and when i get to the step where i configure a package manager i pick the first one (ftp.us.debian.org) and that leads to error in pic relatd

Are you using a wired connecton?
Pick a mirror from your country.

ill just skip it and update packages through terminal manually

OK now this

i just installed it succesfully (i think) and it just goes to console? i thought there was a gui desktop?

What calendar/organizer do you use with your linux setup+phone? Is org-mode worth the hassle?

nextcloud

That was me, turns out my computer is a potato (getting "USB error -110" during boot and can't use keyboard/mouse). No USB usage on multiple distros, but I can get it to work fine in a VM.

After some more research, it might be resolved by unplugging the power cord. I'll have an update in a few minutes.

>i thought there was a gui desktop?
the installer asks if you want to install one

the software selection screen? my iso never had that, which iso do i need to downlkoad?

oh wait no it has to do with installing packages,

can anyone help me with the 'configure the package manager step' for installing debian? I already conencted to my wifi network, but every package I chose in my country leads to this page

>Have a PowerPC Quicksilver G4 MDD

I've installed Gentoo on a Mac before. It's nice and all but I don't want to spend a lot of time.

is there a debian iso i can isntall somewhere that already has packages like gnome?

how the fuck can people use linux unironically if it doesn't have foobar2k?
