Ah shit, meant Live USB.
[editline]21st January 2012[/editline]
There are guides on making Live CDs persistent I think, they involve putting the persistence file on the hard drive I believe.
[QUOTE=limulus54;34324081]sorry, I'm not exactly well educated on these things, but how can a CD be persistent? is it rewriteable?[/QUOTE]
CD's can be used as persistent devices too, actually. Windows Vista and up include features for this.
How do I get WINE on Arch Linux?
[QUOTE]# pacman -S wine
error: target not found: wine[/QUOTE]
isn't it wine1.3
# pacman -Ss wine
You'll find it
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;34326428]isn't it wine1.3[/QUOTE]
I don't know. I just installed Arch Linux. It's my first serious distro. I got sick and tired of Windows and replaced it completly with Linux.

EDIT: Disregard that, I suck ducks.
I didn't read everything through in ArchWiki.
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;34326428]isn't it wine1.3[/QUOTE]
Yes, yes it is.
I hope you know Wine can only do DirectX 9 and openGL.
What's a good distro for use on a flash drive?
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;34326540]I hope you know Wine can only do DirectX 9 and openGL.[/QUOTE]
What?
It cannot do those. It does everything in Software mode, as no translation is done, afaik.
Remember that Wine is not an emulator, but a compability layer.

Yes it supports DX9 and OpenGL.
Yup, everything works fine now, got my wine. Just had to enable multilib.
[QUOTE=Phyxius;34326577]What's a good distro for use on a flash drive?[/QUOTE]
If you want to install it to a flash drive, something small like arch or debian would be good.
If you want to run it like a live cd, you could go with ubuntu or mint. I believe both of these support persistent storage on flash drives.
I do need some help with enabling my audio, though.
[QUOTE=Phyxius;34326577]What's a good distro for use on a flash drive?[/QUOTE]
Avoid too much SWAP usage, or if you can, don't create a SWAP partition at all, since it's a lot of read/write all the time from the disk.
[QUOTE=handler;34327229]I do need some help with enabling my audio, though.[/QUOTE]
just use alsa ?
Debian it is then.
And thanks for the tip T3hGaamerDK.

He should make a swap partition otherwise it can get pretty nasty when you reach your limit.
Just set swappiness to 10
The sound problem only seems to be with Flash. I have sound elsewhere.
I'm excited about Ubuntu 12.04. They're being very progressive about it, namely by advocating 64bit as the default option and expanding the live image beyond 700 megabytes, because USB drives are getting much more important.
I'm running current image of 12.04, ASPM fix is great. But in terms of battery life it has nothing over Fuduntu other then outdated repo of FC14
Can someone walk me through setting up dual monitors on Arch? If I can't get this to work I think I'll probably end up just using some other distro. I have an Intel Integrated Graphics Card.
What the fuck, this is new for Arch, but, uh, it did it by itself...
xorg is supposed to auto-detect your video card/monitors. This is the first case I've heard of it working properly. Congrats!
[QUOTE=Phyxius;34326577]What's a good distro for use on a flash drive?[/QUOTE]
I suggest downloading some popular distros from [b][url]www.distrowatch.com[/url][/b], and installing them to a bootable flash drive about 8GB to 16GB in size, using YUMI: ([b][url]http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/[/url][/b]), and try out which one works best for you. There are so many good ones, I can't possibly say just one.
I used my 16GB flash drive to make an all-in-one utility stick. I have bootable anti-virus rescue discs, hiren's boot CD, Windows 7 Installer, various *buntu distros, Mint, Gparted, NT Offline Password, Rescatux for GRUB repair... a whole bunch of good stuff. I even customized the background and menus to my liking after everything was added. Sure helps me with my PC repair jobs I get from time to time.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;34290900]I believe it does matter.
My .ssh folder has a permission of 700, owned by my user and group. And authorized_keys has a permission of 600, also owned by my user and group.
And are you putting your .ssh folder in the right place? You say you're trying to use the http user, is their home folder /home/http or something else?
If it's the system's Apache user account, the home is probably /var/www, so you would use /var/www/.ssh[/QUOTE]
Sorry for late reply.
I have fixed it. I set the permissions like you instructed, but that did not solve it. However, both .ssh and authorized_keys were owned by root:http, which I changed to http:http. This solved it.
Thank you all for the help! I've yet again learned how important file permissions are in Linux.
It seems I have not fixed it after all. I thought so was the case when I tried to connect and the server accepted my key, however the terminal was immediately closed. This is probably because http's default shell is /bin/false, which as I understand it is a way to make the user unable to have a shell session. It shouldn't however prevent sftp, if I understand this correctly. But when I try to use pscp I get a "unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect".
I found a tutorial on the Arch Wiki about setting up something called [url=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP-chroot]SFTP-chroot[/url], which looks like what I'm after. sftp access without shell access (since I don't want a shell anyway). I followed that tutorial and once again get my key refused. One of the steps was to to chown root /srv/http Since the original problem was that sshd doesn't like keys it deems "insecure" permission-wise, I changed it back to http. So then I get "Fatal: Server unexpectedly closed network connection". I'm guessing sshd sees that /srv/http is not owned by root, which this SFTP-chroot thing requires and aborts the connection.
I'm out of ideas.
I'm messing around with themes, and I came across this issue:

Notice that the selection on the desktop is white. In which file (in the theme folder) is the colour of the selection defined? Thanks.

It's worked well for me. The only problem I've had is it usually gets the monitors backwards, meaning the right monitor is on the left and vice versa. You can solve that by editing xorg.conf or just switching the cables around on your video card.
