Pls help. I use i3wm with gdm. Suddenly this morning, something went wrong with i3. X starts okay, but for some reason i3 doesn't display anything. It still works, I can open terminal and reboot, but I can't see anything. it's a dark and blank screen. I can login with gnome, but i3 is blank.

Reposting:

When I play a game and something loads in (like an enemy monster or cutscene), the game slows down a lot or even freezes for a few seconds.
After it's done loading, it runs just fine at 60fps like it should.

All of my drivers are up to date. What can be causing this?

please halp

wow that image is creepy

Probably your HDD. Check if it's at 100% on task manager.

Why does this happens? It's something related to the architecture or the chipset?

Try swaywm?

Okay, I'm on arch. Do you have any guides for this?

I suppose you can try Tunngle or whatever's hot with the kids these days, but yeah, some routers are really temperamental.

Dunno if you can find info on your router here:
portforward.com/router.htm

What happened to j3w1?

Tunngle is dead. I've found my router there and did every step there, it's quite easy (portforward.com/netgear/wnr2000/v2), yet it doesn't work. The router is pretty old and it certainly is temperamental.

25" or 27" for ideal size of a 1440p monitor?

my laptop has been seizing up recently, usually when watching videos and such. A look at my performance over time shows that my RAM usage is maxing out at like 1500 MB despite the laptop itself having 8 GB installed. Am I missing something obvious or is it fucked? The laptop is a thinkpad T580 that I purchased directly from lenovo like 2 months ago which is why im so confused, especially considering the reputation that thinkpads have

Software firewall?

Entirely a matter of opinion, though I suppose 27" is more common.

the final frequency is the result of a base frequency multiplied or divided with a constant.
The base frequency is usually shared between multiple components sometimes multiplied or divided.
Eg; the base clock runs at 666 mhz, the CPU runs at 666*6 mhz, the RAM runs at 666*4

You cant have fractional constants. in this case, the ram runs a few hundreds mhz slower because this is how they were able to match it

In Anne Pro's bluetooth configuration mode, what does the A key do besides changing colors from red to green and back again?

There's no mention of it in the manuals.

I've used gufw. The picture here () shows it. I don't think it's the cause of this problem, as it seems simple yet straightforward - you've got a port, a protocol, in/out, and it works. Maybe it is - you can examine it for any problems.

Success on Win 8.1. Finally I can use my computer again.

It was mainly because bluetooth driver/driver support in general on windows 7 was so shitty.

Thanks, bruh. It werks now.

Spoken like a true normie,
show taskmgr when underload and shit, give us fucking something u useless goy

Is windows supposed to use almost 4 GBs of memory while idling

yes, and even 5gb with 1 chome tab

literally why. I thought I was part of a botnet or some shit

How can I turn off my mousepad in wayland?

I'm grabbing a string from an API and writing it to an image using Python PIL. The string has foreign characters. The font I'm using contains these characters, but they just show up as boxes on the image. any ideas?

What the fuck is a "BAD RIP VALUE" and why cant i compile anything?

Are you learning about ROP?

Im trying to update my system and certain packages,that need to be compiled manually, are throwing this error and failing to compile

I'm kinda torn between asking this in here or on /soc/ but here goes.

How do i record a continuous snap, longer than 10 seconds on an android phone? Does it still not work for androids?

Hey, if you're still there - nothing happens.

Even with another port?

Yes.

wat do, Jow Forums? I'd try shutting it down by force, but that's gonna brick my laptop, no?

idk then, bruh. It's your router.

The package is fucked up. Maybe the devs fucked up, or you have a bad package.

It could also be that your friends are normies.

Its ANYTHING i try to compile,its not isolated to just one package.

Gonna throw that thing in trash then.
..maybe

Maybe you were hacked, that's very odd. Are you running on a SMC board?

Thanks senpai

I wrote a simple project on C++ and I'd like to distribute it and facilitate the compiling of the program for at least Linux, Windows and macOS. The code only uses the standard library and uses the standard C++11.
I was thinking of using cmake as the cross platform solution but having to either leave all the generated files on the root directory if cmake is run on the root of the program, or needing the user to run cmake in a build directory makes me think there should be better options, is there a better way to offer a simple way to compile my C++ code for multiple platforms?

Try reinstalling your compiler.

lmao

Still persists

Are you on gentoo?

Alright Jow Forums I'm getting a refurbished Thinkpad with an SSD, I want to dual boot Windows and Debian. What the easiest way to install dual boot, please spoon feed me

Hello friends, if you use g-sync or freesync do you have to turn on vsync in game settings ? does vsync in games work with gsynce/freesync ?

Nope.

I need to make a simulation kinda thing (not really simulatory, just needs to look pretty) which is just some spheres sticking to a table/each other after falling from above. Any suggestions for what to use to make it? I'm thinking PlayCanvas since i'm too much of a brainlet to make it in something like webGL.

My X230 works fine with touchpad or trackpoint, untill a plug it on a charger. Once I put to charge to trackpoint becomes jumpy and the touchpad completely unresponsive.
Issue happens on Wayland (libinput) and X (Synapstic)
Why is that?

That was helpful. Reinstall your OS.

I'm tired of seeing that fish eyed bitch in the ads. How do I block gook moot's ads?

I don't see anything with AdNasueum

I'm not near my machine right now but I wanted to upgrade to debian testing, had to update over 1200 packages and well it didnt go so smoothly. It says I need to configure some dependencies such as libconfig1 and the upgrade quits because of too many errors. I tried autoremove I tried apt -f install I tried dpkg -a --configure none of it works because of dependency problems. Help. I'll post the log later in case someone else runs into this problem too

Not needed
I've downgraded gcc to the past 3 versions and it still happens.

Does it piss anyone else off that parents are keeping their kids in car seats for so long now?

I was out of one by the time I was 3 or 4.

There are colleagues, associates, friends and relatives I know who have procreated who keep their kids in these God forsaken things forever.
I always remark "isn't he a bit old for a car seat?".
The parents are taken aback. Faces goes absolutely pale. Like I just said something unspeakable.
Then they make a pathetic little quip back like, "Safety first! We're keeping him in one till he's 11"

It makes me lose all respect for them. It's like the sort of NPCs who keep their dogs in cages.

I'd rather my kid die in car accident than grow up a psychologically deranged nutcase with vertigo and claustrophobia from being strapped into a car seat so long. Another thing I notice about these kids, is they don't act their age. They're still throwing temper tantrums and stuff from being driven around like some sort of toddler.

The monthly paranoia has settled in. Is there a way to know everything Google knows about me? I only have a gmail for IRL normalfaggotry which I very rarely long into. I only use DuckDuckGo. Only Google-based service I use is the captcha from Jow Forums and a few government sites.

based. Thanks, user.

>Not needed
Looks like you don't have any problems then.

I need a Visio 2010 Professional ISO, preferably 64-bit. I have a valid license, but the fuckers at Microshit keep redirecting me to other departments. Is there any other site that backs up clean ISOs?

An entire reinstall to solve a single problem is a windows mentality and not a method of Linux, ok maybe if you're using ubuntu.
Reverting the entire system back for one error, is nonsense.
Every search i find is gated behind rhel or oracle paywalls otherwise i would have solved it my self.

looks like you already have some IQ points missing

Doesn't Snapchat cut the video record in bite-sized pieces? Try holding the photo button and letting go when you're done - it should send the video in parts.

>not a method of Linux
I'm trying hard to not insult you. Do you understand what the fuck ups could mean? Your libraries could be compromised or corrupted. I doubt you know how to check what SOs a executable bin requires. Reinstalling your OS, is the cleanest way to fix it. What autistic OS are you using?

It's a feature :^)
The OS logs what you use the most, and keeps those programs in cache. Browsers do something similar. You can edit both, and change how much memory they keep reserved for this.

shut it down, oy vey.

>Your libraries could be compromised or corrupted
The hash sums are 1:1 verified to the repo's signed copy. there is no corruption
>Reinstalling your OS, is the cleanest way to fix it
I guess you use ubuntu and you've been wasting my time then

How do i make a live system for manjaro? i just wanna try the OS and put it on my usb drive. i already have rufus but what are the options i need to change in order for it to work

Actually, I use arch. Alright dude, I would wipe if I saw that, but to each their own.

It's the weekend, go for it. Don't know what that liquid is, but I recommend buying pure powder, and mixing it with a soda. Coke is my favorite. Once you start tripping, smoke some salvia. It will open your mind and transport you to another world. It's safe, and only lasts about 15 seconds, but it will feel like an hour. Better than shrooming or taking acid, and much safer.

>Better than shrooming
You have to go back.

>DUDE WEED LOL
Do you know how retarded you sound?

fuck outta here, dumb junkie

>much safer
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh

Unironically kill yourself.

Nothing really to change

You can download your 'profile' from them. DDG is just as much of a botnet. What government sites? They typically have shit security, and are easily hacked. Anything government related I recommend doing in person, and using cash.

Anyone have any experience messing around with a LG G4? I tried using adb to change the resolution to a more sensible 1920x1080, as well as messing with the dpi to make it look alright, but after doing a reboot all my system apps (phone, camera, etc) started sending up error messages. I changed it back and it's fine, but I'm curious as to whether it's possible to change the resolution and have it work without rooting the phone and getting another ROM?
Side note: I can't root it due to the ARB on the phone being too high, so I'm kinda stuck with it for now.

Do you mean releasing it and then immedeatly holding down again? Because according to different articles i'm supposed to just hold it down the entire time, but that doesn't work for me. It just autoplays the video

anyone know of a program that could let me organize porn scenes on linux

Where I live it's mandatory. If the kid is younger than 14 and less than 150cm tall, you have to use a special children's seat.

Kids, this is what DXM does to you.

>car seat until age 14
More humane to get an abortion.

Thank you for your answer. It seems I have to register/use my gmail to download this computer's/IP profile. Is there another way? This link seems to be the one to download it; adssettings.google.com/u/0/authenticated

>DDG is also a botnet
Christ. Then what should I use? Startpage?

Hello Jow Forumsurus
I've been using Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Xubuntu full-time for two years now
I want to fully understand how linux works, and get better with computers
I've seen these distros thrown around a lot for learning about linux: which one do you recommand ?
Gentoo / Void / Arch / Slackware

>car seat until age 14
I'm fairly certain we have something similar, but only if you're a manlet. If you're taller than X, then you don't use a kids seat regardless of age

I have a mini pc as a media station, with Windows. What's a proper light weight linux distro for playing youtube, netflix, etc.?

>Where I live it's mandatory. If the kid is younger than 14 and less than 150cm tall, you have to use a special children's seat.
lulwut? Where is this nanny state?

DXM isn't a big deal faggot. I haven't robotripped in over 10 years. Weed and alcohol and cigarettes is legal all over the place. Most people are killing themselves with HFC and laziness. Fuck off.

Use Bing. Most old people use it because it's the default on windows. You'll blend in, and your searches won't be tied to your google account. Everything you search, or even type into a chrome browser, is recorded. I use Linux, Firefox, Bing. Bing isn't infested with SJWs changing their algos to fit their politics like Google is. Their picture search is also a lot better.

>Bing
Isn't that Microsoft's domain, therefore not much better than Google tracking-wise? Also, isn't Firefox basically as bad as Chrome at this point? Mian reason I switched to Palemoon, too.

What do you have against children's seats? They just elevate the children a bit so that the seatbelt sits properly.

>If you're taller than X, then you don't use a kids seat regardless of age
That's the 150cm mark in my country. If the kid is 12 but 155cm tall, then you don't need a children's seat.
