[QUOTE=Terin7;38520774]I've got an HD 4850, using the closed-source drivers on Ubuntu, and I was getting some issue with various OpenGL features not being supported, so I've been trying to uninstall fglrx following this guide [url=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx]here[/url]. Only problem is that when using the second command apt-get yells at me about fglrx-modaliases having no installation candidate. What does that mean, and what can I do to get around that?
(or if anyone knows if there would be a way to get TF2 working with fglrx, that would be good as well, but that's more of a linux steam question)[/QUOTE]
Don't worry about the second command having that tiny problem. I removed fglrx using that guide just fine.
The problem though, is that you'll need to recompile your entire X.org graphics stack, including mesa, just to get the open source drivers working. (missing st3c feature)
Mine runs as good as in windows, maxed out in 60 fps, but the loading times are slightly larger, don't you think.
Ok, dumb question: If i ssh into my linux machine from my tablet, the linux machine must be on right? Hm so im thinking of developing a linux app that makes the computer do the minimum it needs to do in order for something to ssh into it.

yes. the linux machine needs to be running, in order for you to ssh into it.

Anybody here using sabayon?
Anyone else here use linux as a c dev?

...Turning it on?
What??
Write something that makes the pc only run what it needs in order for something to ssh into it. Say youre sshing into a laptop, itd be better for everything to not be running.
Doesn't really matter, you can do a minimal boot + SSHD, or you can wait 3 seconds longer and have all the services you want running.
Debian base-install is already pretty damn minimal, not a whole lot you could strip out of that, but I don't know what distro you're running.
I'm running ubuntu.
Download tinycore: [url]http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/downloads.html[/url]
download the 8mb distro, or the 12mb distro for out of the box Xorg.
Install Openssh server on it: [url]http://www.unixmen.com/install-openssh-tiny-core-linux/[/url]
Now you have a minimalistic setup :v:

ssh doesn't take much resources, it won't be a problem if your GUI is running.

I have been using Sabayon for a few years. Recently switched to eOS, but I am now getting back to my favorite is again. Why do you ask?

I really love Sabayon, but I haven't really used it for quit some time. I'm considering to put it on my workstation at work, when I'm fed up with my arch installation.
Question: How well do Entropy and Portage mix.
Since I kinda like portage, but sometimes I am too lazy to compile big packages from source, so I'd use equo.
What do I have to look out for?

If you are talking about sleep mode then I am fairly certain that programs do not run while it in sleep mode.
Also it would be a terrible way of doing it. If you want just turn off/disable screen and run something super minimal and lightweight.

More dependencies than you'd get by compiling packages yourself. It's not as bad as Ubuntu, I'd say, but it works out really well in the mix that Entropy gives you packages that work, stable and are still very much up to date (for the most part), and Portage allow you to tweak them up. I've tweaked a few packages around, and if you want to keep your tweaks, you'll have to manually update those specific packages yourself. But you would know that.
If you find any packages that aren't up to date, and are up to date in the Gentoo repositories, just file a bug report and the package will be compiled within a week.
I'm not sure why, but whenever I use ssh it seems to be rather laggy (Like the text entry lags behind when I type in putty or whatnot). Could the fact that I'm on wifi be the culprit? because I do have a 10/2 up/down connection.

WiFi can limit your connection speeds by some, but it is unlikely the problem. SSH is usually never really fast, unless you're on the same network. At least, this is my experience.

Try using compression with the -C flag.

The sad thing being that it still holds true today, I can't get smooth 720p fullscreen playback without fglrx on my laptop. Actually, I can't get smooth 720p playback without fglrx.

That's really Adobe's fault, though, if you're talking about flash. (And they won't support it for Linux anymore, so whatever)
At least I've never had major issues playing videos.

I haven't had any issues with HTML5 videos or offline video playing with VLC either, but Flash has always been bugged to hell. Even to this day, it doesn't play video correctly on my desktop computer (blue bug).

isn't the blue tint caused by Hardware acceleration?
[editline]21st November 2012[/editline]
libvdpau causes it.

I've install Samba on CentOS 6.3 and set the name and workgroup in the in config file. Why can't my Windows PCs see the computer on the network?
Did you start the daemon?

Forgive give me I'm new to linux; is that the samba service?
I can't see samba in services.
