Steam was fine for me when I updated WINE to 1.3.3
-solved-
Hey guys I found that if I turn off automatic login the total startup time is much longer (of course not counting entering username and password).
So I made up a solution!
How to automatically login BUT ask for a password (pretty fast method but it's a hacky workaround)
1. Enable automatic login [url=http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Automatic_Login]here[/url]
2. Make a file called ".ScreenSaverLockScreen.sh"
3. put this in it:
[code]gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver-command --lock[/code]
4. Save and mark it as executable (right click properties under Permissions
5. Go to startup applications (System > preferences)
6. Disable or remove the screensaver
7. Add a new entry
8. enter this:
[code]./.ScreenSaverLockScreen.sh[/code]
You will log in, but almost immediately the screensaver will start and your screen will be locked.
When you unlock it, your desktop has fully loaded and you can use it!
I know it's hacky but it works :v:
What the fuck?
mv /home/drunkenminers/public_html/ttt_redirect/beta/ /home/drunkenminers/public_html/
I found all the files in the ttt_redirect folder :\.

This method wouldn't work for other users than yourself though.
My arch is giving me a "Nothing to do" for a pacman -Syu even though I'm sure at least one package should have updated (out of a full install + GNOME), what am I doing wrong

Maybe the mirrors you're using are outdated?
I'm gonna experiment with Btrfs on Arch, definitely gonna be interesting :v:

Try -Syyu to force the package list to be redownloaded.
I just downloaded the most recent version of linux ubuntu and could use some help getting my internet connection working, for some reason I can not connect to my wireless network I have all the information entered correctly but it just doesn't connect.

Are you using wireless drivers that are supported under Ubuntu/Linux? What drivers are you using for it?
What wireless chipset are you using?
I'm relatively slow so on Win.7 how exactly would you find this information?
I haven't a clue how you would find it on Windows, actually :v:
:v:
Since your wireless network is working on the Windows part, I'm going to assume that the problem lies on the Ubuntu part? Hence the driver thing. I don't think you can tell from Windows, but you should be able to tell when you're using Ubuntu. The funny thing is, that it may require network connection to solve this problem.
So I need a network connection to fix the problem of not having a network connection.... what?
just tough it out on wired until you've got it fixed.
just boot into ubuntu and type lspci in the terminal, and post the output here
So I've been messing with Ubuntu since 9.04 on my netbook, and I feel as though I've got a solid understanding of how everything works. I've also got a (failed) hackintosh partition on my desktop that's just lying there, unused. I'm going to install arch on it. I've looked at the wiki installation article, it looks simple enough.
My question is which window manager (if any) should I use? I've been using GNOME up to now with Ubuntu, but I have heard other window managers are better, more lightweight, etc. I'll probably install it this weekend and stick with terminal if there are no suggestions.
I wouldn't call one window manager 'better' than another as it's a matter of preference, but if you're looking for something lightweight you should look into Openbox or Xfce(both have very detailed pages on the Arch wiki.)
Openbox looks really awesome, I think I'll end up using that... thanks
Looks like Microsoft is playing dirty again.

Straight up criticizing OpenOffice...

When has Microsoft ever played clean?
Never...
OpenOffice works fine for me. Maybe if there were more people working on it. Right now it's breaking loose from Oracle. It will get a new name: "LibreOffice", free office (free as in freedom, not as no money)

A few 'perspectives' should be unbiased, rather than completely shunning the opposition and slanderous as fuck.
Also anybody willing to help me learn how to install wireless card drivers in .tar.bz2 format?
Unpack and read the read-me file that is probably in it.
Ok, thanks.

Ok, I can't make heads or tails with this, there are 2 directories inside of the archive, and the readme in one of them has completely baffled me.
If anyone can help, get it [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3687821/2009_0206_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.2.tar.bz2]here[/url] and shoot me a PM if you can help.
I like how Microsoft submits a 60000000000-page swiss-cheese pseudo-spec for their convoluted, inconsistent file format for "standardization" in an attempt to feign cooperation just so they can go "Sun Microsystems' [i]shareware[/i] communist Jesus-hating Office clone is out to RUIN YOUR [i]GENUINE[/i] Microsoft Office Word documents and will eat your babies" in a youtube video.
Yeah, OO.o is a train wreck. MSO is worse. One day in the distant future someone will get simple document editing right (I specify simple because Knuth already perfected complex and technical document preparation), and it won't be any of these Microsoft/Sun incompetents.
Also, nobody should ever send any final documents in doc/docx (as implied by probably-fictional [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzdykNa2IBU&feature=player_embedded#t=1m26s]shitty bitch teacher's "I give OO.o users bad grades"[/url] comment). PDF is what you use for final documents.
That video is for commercial and workplace situations.
It seems okay to me, their points are mostly valid, if not a very little bit biased.
If any of you have ever worked in an IT department for a company you will know that they [b]need[/b] external professional support, etc.
