Before asking for help, please check our list of resources.
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Do not dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

I installed pulseaudio-equalizer on Debian buster, but it doesn't show me the dB for the bands. I've seen images online that show it displaying the dB at the bottom. How do I get it to do that?
Shit, I was just meming man but if you're serious, I could whip something up right fast. Only thing is the web browser security model won't allow local applications like mpv to be started up automatically. The way to get around that is run a local web server (not as intimidating as it sounds) and have greasemonkey send the url to that to then be handed off to mpv. Fully set up it would be seamless.

I just got a rx570 and used command line to install drivers.
I've looked online and every video seems to stop short of this question, or just about driver install. Does the GUI interface "catalyst control center" exist for Linux (It seems so?) and how do you ONLY install the control center if your drivers are already in and working? Can't seem to find an answer or package containing just the control center.
I just want your mpv equalizer hotkey. This is neat.

Gabriel Nguyen
Oh, okay. Cool. The path is /home/user/.config/mpv/input.conf Just put this in it: F2 cycle-values af "lavfi=[firequalizer=gain_entry='entry(63,-5);entry(125,-5);entry(250,-3)']" "lavfi=[firequalizer=gain_entry='entry(63,4);entry(125,4);entry(250,3);entry(500,1);entry(1000,-1);entry(2000,1);entry(4000,2);entry(8000,4);entry(16000,4)']" ""

I'm looking for a Qt version of Qalculate, searching for qalculate in the AUR and the official reps only yields the thing itself and a gtk backend, help pls
Evan Turner
Then when you press F2, you get the equalizer. The first eq takes out the bass for when your girl is trying to sleep once you laid that dick to her, nawwhat I'm sayin. The second one is the regular eq with extra bass and treble.
What does this question have to do with GNU or Linux?
Ian Diaz
Anyone, please?

The question is very specific. Hence no answers. Read the docs of your package manager, make a list of your configs. Script everything up.
Blake Cook
You need to run apt list --installed to get all your packages reinstalled. For the configurations, you need to cozy up with the man page of a little something called rsync

ur mom is linux

umm you just write it? what kind of an answer are you looking for lol?
I just meant where to get started but i got some answers now thanks

Any PowerPC tards in here? I can’t get GPU hardware acceleration working on my iBook G3 with Debian ports Sid. This iBook has a mobility Radeon 7500 GPU. I know it’s possible to get it working, but it works flawlessly on Wheezy.
Dylan Myers
bruh. brb also writing my own OS because GNU/linux suck ass
Brayden Cook
I tried out Elementary and as much as people like it, i just found small niggles, like the calendar feels totally anaemic, and i feel Gnome's notification centre is far more practical.
Parker Reyes
Is it safe to install sketchy drivers from github? What are the chances of it being malware of some sort?
Carter Robinson
I actually legit wrote and use this shit cuz parentheses don't work right on gcalctool and some other shit I can't remember doesn't work right on galculator. Finally I said fuck it and wrote my own. The upshot is now my calculator never changes and I like it

I've been trying for an hour and stuck at the qmake it says "warning: unknown QT: charts" When I find the qtchooser files they reference /opt/Qt5.9.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake but I don't see anything in /opt/ about Qt5 I tried installing a bit of dependencies and tryied to solve the charts thing, but I guess I don't know what the f to do man.
Scratch that. Do you have libqt5charts5-dev imstalled?
David Turner
yes, that is one that I installed and tried again - same errors
Sebastian Moore
Also try installing qml-module-qtcharts
Nicholas Brooks
Throws an error /opt/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake': No such file or directory
this is the error I got when I manually selected the qt5 version using qtmake qt=[version#] Its all installing qt version 5.11 - is it being picky about the newer version?

KDE. MATE doesn't have Krunner.

It's a lot of lines of code and it's in C i don't understand it

PulseEffects, search it on Flathub
Cooper Price
congrations! it seems as if you narrowed your options down to 1
Man, I looked around and I'm coming up empty. I haven't had an AMD card in years or else I'd have something for you. I strongly suspect catalyst is available on Linux as it always has been I just don't know how to get it on there. One thing I can tell you is it almost certainly will come from AMD and should be part of the fglrx driver bundle.

Sid is known for being broken, maybe there's some major change that hasn't been put in the repos yet. Not really something you want to use as a stable distribution. But I know people who run it.
elementary OS has a nice theme, and a decent wm (i like the way it handles workspaces, similar to others though), and some first party apps. But not all of these apps are any good, when I was running Loki I tried importing my music collection into Noise. It just froze up right away every time. I haven't touched it since, so it's possible it's better now.
It's a decent distribution if you just use regular GNU/Linux programs with it instead of elementary dog food ones. But vanilla GNOME has progressed quite a bit, and nowadays feels more modern and flushed out than Pantheon ever did. I'm back to using vanilla Ubuntu with GNOME now.
KDE for new and shiny, MATE for old reliable. Personally I like GNOME-shell. It's come a long ways since 3.0
It can't find the program qmake in that directory it's looking in. Is it supposed to be installed there or is it somewhere else? Try calling it with /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake directly, or wherever it's installed, that's for Ubuntu.
Angel Rogers
Okay thanks, aren't there suppose to be security features to protect me from malware? If i uninstall and remove the driver will i be safe again?
Liam Butler
is your locale set to a unicode one? I had issues with Arch not setting the locale, it should be something like en_ca.utf8 if you were Canadian
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale >Gnome-terminal or rxvt-unicode You need to launch these applications from a UTF-8 locale or they will drop UTF-8 support. Enable the en_US.UTF-8 locale (or your local UTF-8 alternative) per the instructions above and set it as the default locale, then reboot.
Bentley Cooper
depends on the malware and what it does but I guarantee you that you are being overly paranoid
Hmm, try setting LC_ALL, maybe this isn't it but it's worth trying.
Christian Morales
How would you make your computer beep at every full hour?
Dominic Wright
cronjob or bash script like sleep 3600; beep
Daniel Brown
Why do I always into scripts and setting up complicated shit that makes sense at the time and then several months go by and something goes south and I forget how I set everything up?
