[QUOTE=Moofy;39460751]Thanks, however I'm screwed again. The arch install tells me there is no such interface "wlan0" and it have worked before I did a fstab and removed the hashtags in multilib. All I had to do was # pacman -Sy .. But then network was unreachable. It hurts my head and I googled for hours with no solution.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=kaukassus;39461187]Try this command:[/QUOTE] Arch no longer uses the ethX/wlanX naming as they've switched to static names: [url]https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-January/024231.html[/url] [QUOTE=https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-January/024231.html]For new installs: You are opted-in to this change. The post_install() will do nothing to mask the rule. If you wish to opt out, you can do 1 of 2 things: 1) mask the rule: ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules[/QUOTE] So you can either switch back to the old names, or use the new ones.

Installed arch today, and wlan0, eth0, etc.. are still valid for me.
As that mail posts out, it's an opt-in system. Until they make a new install media it won't be the default.
[QUOTE=esalaka;39462064]As that mail posts out, it's an opt-in system. Until they make a new install media it won't be the default.[/QUOTE] A new install media as of when? There's a new one out this year, iirc.
[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;39462451]A new install media as of when? There's a new one out this year, iirc.[/QUOTE] Oh, indeed, there's a new one from two days ago. If that one doesn't have them as default then I don't even know what's going on.
Hey guys, quick question. I installed Ubuntu Server OS on my old Dell from the stone ages because babby's first server OS and fuck gui. I installed the standard stuff including LAMP and everything is going great. The only gripe I'm having is that there are over 10 mysqld commands running and they are all eating around 1.8 MB of ram. Should there be this many mysql things running and is it safe to just uninstall mysql if I don't really use the thing?

I think the PHP library for databases will maintain a pool of connections, which explains why multiple processes are running, and 1.8MB doesn't seem too outrageous. If you don't mind me asking, what are you hosting? [editline]3rd February 2013[/editline] Also, I want to play The Polynomial (music visualization game) but it doesn't support FLAC, the format which my [b]entire[/b] library is in. The easiest solution seemed to be a virtual audio "cable" or loopback. After talking with someone at #alsa I loaded the snd-aloop module, giving it an index of 10, then play audio on hw:10,0 and record it from hw:10,1. This is great, but The Polynomial doesn't play audio it picks up from a microphone (or in this case a loopback) so I can't hear the music while playing... Does anyone have a better solution? Or a way to output audio on multiple alsa devices? I would even be willing to try reinstalling pulseaudio if it has a better solution to this.

Damn, Gnome 3.6 is actually really nice, I think I might keep using this

The most intensive thing it does is run a game server for my friends and I when we want to play without being annoyed in Killing Floor or something like that. And now that I have restarted my server, memory usage went from 30% to 4%, weird. I guess I was just wondering why there was so many processes for mysql.
So I was trying to install this theme: [url]http://lifeinthegrey.deviantart.com/art/Buonanotte-XFCE-Theme-280840439[/url] And I was aiming for the image on the deviantART page, however I moved the folder that contained the GTK2 & GTK3 into my ~/.themes, went to apperance and I chose it. Regardless my buttons look really tiled and not smooth, and my window borders are hideous and looks nothing like they're supposed to according to that image, any solution?

Do you guys think Arch linux is any good?
All fine, but don't be surprised to see an update fucking up your pc. You'll often have to fix an update's fuckups. If you don't want that, try Sabayon.
[QUOTE=FPtje;39481168]All fine, but don't be surprised to see an update fucking up your pc. You'll often have to fix an update's fuckups. If you don't want that, try Sabayon.[/QUOTE] How would an update fuck up your PC? You're generally not even allowed to do install-breaking updates without forcing them, and the Arch main page will have news about it if something like that comes up.. Not really Arch's fault you're too lazy to maintain your system and keep yourself informed about updates, man. That being said, if you're not willing to put a bit of effort into maintaining an install, Arch is not for you.
[B]How would an update fuck up your PC?[/B] Any distro that is rolling release has this problem. Things are simply more unstable.

Things are simply more unstable.[/QUOTE] Being unstable =/= forcing user to switch init [editline]5th February 2013[/editline] Sabayon has other init systems available too, like Systemd or even upstart (from ChromiumOS repos), but they're not forced upon you.
I can't understand how arch would be unstable. I am using the same installation since august 2012, and I didn't even have problems switching to systemd. I am using arch for 2 years now, and I have yet to see an error, system crash that wasn't my fault. also, its not hard to read the announcements on archlinux.org. for the lazy people, there is even an RSS feed, and a mailing list.

Reading up on news feeds and stuff is always something you should do when running any kind of unstable or rolling release system, without a doubt. What I dislike about Arch is that while it uses Linux as it's core, it isn't really UNIX-compliant.
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;39481225]You're generally not even allowed to do install-breaking updates without forcing them[/QUOTE] This is untrue for every time an update fucked up my laptop. I never forced my updates. It was always pacman -Syyu or yaourt -Syyu. It's been a while ago, but I remember updating my system, and after a reboot I found out "oh fuck my system broke, must have been the update". Like that one time where EVERY kernel update made mkinitcpio fail.
No idea what everyone is talking about; i've not had an Arch update break any of my installations other than the time of the /lib update. I guess i'm lucky?
Why does it seem like theming Linux to look like Mac is so popular? Watching various videos I'm about to do it for fun but really c'mon.
I still have no idea how you manage to break Arch, I've never had an update break my OS and I update all the time.

[QUOTE=danharibo;39485774]I still have no idea how you manage to break Arch, I've never had an update break my OS and I update all the time.[/QUOTE] I always manage to "break" cdm because I'm using some personal patches I always forget to apply after updating that I won't pull request to the main repo because I'm not sure how useful they'd be to others.
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;39485813]OSX is pretty in some aspects but there are far better looking DE's GNOME, Cinnamon both look quite nice by standard[/QUOTE] I was thinking about trying Ubuntu with the old GNOME lock and a dock. Since I can't find any good site where to read about Cinnamon things :v:
