General Linux Chat and Small Questions v. I broke my Arch Install - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;44389750]Can you guys help me with it? I've tried Ubuntu (noobuntu :v: ) and it's just so slow on the NUC and Fedora crashes.[/QUOTE] Never used the source packages from 01/Intel before, but cannot you just download the source-package under "[URL="https://download.01.org/gfx/src/intel-linux-graphics-installer_1.0.4.tar.gz"]Intel(R) Graphics Installer 1.0.4 for Linux*[/URL]" and build it yourself, since there is no installation package available for CentOS? If you're unsure about how to build it, just extract it and read the readme file. Normally you just need to do three steps/commands though. "sudo ./configure && make && sudo make install" [editline]29th March 2014[/editline] Also, if you have everything you need on Ubuntu, then it would probably be easier to find out why and fix it's slowness than it is to bring everything over to CentOS.

I spoke with some guys from redhat yesterday and I asked then how I could install Fedora on my macbook pro and what issues there are etc. They told me that the CEO of redhat uses the same macbook and that he should know. Now I want you guys to guess who's email I got from them. :dance:

This Pentium II runs Arch with LXDE like a champ. Like you could actually use it. Even Firefox runs okay-ish (although its no speed demon, Facepunch pages take about 10 seconds to load and scrolling can be painful at times). I might want to find a lighter browser. ISA sound card works fine after figuring out which module I needed which is cool. 1 min power button to desktop enviroment is a pretty decent boot time for a ~15 year old machine running a modern OS. [editline]29th March 2014[/editline] Also, I didn't know it had a variable speed PSU fan. It really cranks up when browsing the internet. :v:

Forgive me Linux guru's for I will sin. I will put a text file in /usr/bin when installing my python program. The reason is because a program it depends on (gmpublish_linux) requires steam_appid.txt to be in the same folder as the executable. I couldn't think of a much better option other than to put gmpublish_linux and its text file in a different location.

I unplugged my phone from my laptop mid-install, and I couldn't be bothered to try and figure out how to fix the problem. I'm just going to write up some short documentation on how to quickly do the Arch installation I like to do, so if I need to do it again, I have something to look back to.

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;44394628]edit the script[/QUOTE] Gmpublish is compiled and closed source.

Ok, I've installed Ubuntu 4 times now with different partition setting, based on what the dialog box told me and it just will not make it bootable. :suicide: What's going on here?

[QUOTE=FPtje;44398152]Gmpublish is compiled and closed source.[/QUOTE] Ain't that some shit?

Never mind, it's working now. God I hate it when I follow instructions and the thing doesn't work. Get new error when I try to install intel drivers. Something to do with out dated dependency, is there a bypass for it?

I hope it's okay to ask this here: I'm setting up a web server to host a small website as well as just to learn how to do it in the first place. What are the things I need to do in order to fully secure it? List of things i've done so far: [QUOTE] * Created a user, gave it sudo root privileges (following [URL="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-12-04"]this[/URL]) tutorial * Changed the SSH port, disabled Root Login * Installed Apache * Installed and enabled mod_wsgi (i'm going to be using Flask as a framework) * Set up the Flask directories, installed flask, set up a virtualenv and virtual host * I've set up UFW to only allow ports 22, 80, 443 and the SSH port I set earlier. The distribution is ubuntu 13.10. [/QUOTE] This is my first time using linux in any real form, and it's my first time setting up a web server. What else should I be doing? If this is the wrong place to post this, i'll snip this post.

Trying out this theme for Cinnamon 2.0, but menus and such are still regular Mint. [url]http://zagortenay333.deviantart.com/art/New-Minty-Cinnamon-412334654[/url] Anyone know of a good theme along the same lines that encompasses everything? It's been ages since i've used any form of Linux other than my tablet, decided to give it a proper go again while getting my brother's computer working.

Ok, when I try to install the Intel Video drivers I'm greeted with this error: [QUOTE]Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libglib2.0.0 (>=2.37.3)[/QUOTE] How do fix it?

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;44399498]Ok, when I try to install the Intel Video drivers I'm greeted with this error: How do fix it?[/QUOTE] satisfy the dependency?

Yeah, How?

With lots of love. Serious: Idk if im right here, but looks like libglib2 but needs a newer version. (Version 2.37.3 or newer).

What's the command to do that?

I never knew linux has such a strong female audience: [t]http://i.imgur.com/MRpVOlJ.jpg[/t] according to [url]http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_different_modes_of_vi_editor?#slide=2[/url]

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;44399840]What's the command to do that?[/QUOTE] Check "dpkg -s libglib2.0-0" to see what package version you have. But why do you need to install the Intel drivers? The open-source drivers are already included in the kernel, the only thing you will gain with installing the ones from 01 is just slightly newer drivers. [QUOTE=RoboChimp;44397962]I could try making it faster. How do I find out what's running in the background?[/QUOTE] I do not know if you prefer the GUI or the CLI way, but in Ubuntu you have an application called System Monitor ([I]gnome-system-monitor[/I]), or you could use [I]top[/I] or [I]htop[/I] from the commandline. Also, I do not know the specs of the computer you are running Ubuntu on, or whether you are using vanilla settings and DE, but I guess that you are. If you are running Ubuntu with Unity, and it feels sluggish then you should try to use a more resource-friendly DE like ex. XFCE, LXDE, e17, or maybe even KDE with effects off.

I might sound stupid and paranoid but elementaryOS is possible to dualboot with Windows 7, right? Would that cause any damage to the SSD?

[QUOTE=digigamer17;44400306]I might sound stupid and paranoid but elementaryOS is possible to dualboot with Windows 7, right?

As long as you don't select the wrong partition settings under the installation, then nothing will be removed from your SSD.

If someone goes through the effort of guessing your private key, they deserve to get in.

I needed the video driver because I didn't realise I was using the wrong old version, Ubuntu 12.04 instead of 13 . But steam gaming streaming is slower that my old laptop with Windows 7 which is from the core 2 days, so it should be ok. I'd like to just stop all the useless background processes in Ubuntu, whether it be via command line or GUI.

The most of your resources goes to the Unity shell, so if your desktop is sluggish, I'd recommend switching to an lighter DE. You can however check what services which is running with "[I]service --status-all[/I]", and stop them with "[I]sudo service *service-name* stop[/I]". The command [I]top[/I] or [I]htop[/I] which I mentioned earlier is also nice to check if any process is hogging cpu or memory. Also, if you are going to use the computer for gaming I would recommend you to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu, as there is much more than just the graphical driver that could affect graphical performance.

I have dated to Ubuntu 13, but Unity is too heavy. I never realised how much they made gnome look like OSX.
