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

Basically don't ever install the Nvidia drivers manually, unless you know what you're doing you're gonna fuck it up Use your distro's drivers, or add a repo or something if you want newer drivers

[QUOTE=rilez;45118009]Basically don't ever install the Nvidia drivers manually, unless you know what you're doing you're gonna fuck it up Use your distro's drivers, or add a repo or something if you want newer drivers[/QUOTE] A lot of that is newest nvidia drivers sometimes lag a bit behind and latest X.Org/kernel doesn't always play nice

Could there be a botnet running in the background or something? How would I find out if it was? I mean it's not showing in htop. [editline]16th June 2014[/editline] Huh!? what the fuck? [img]http://storage8.static.itmages.com/i/14/0616/h_1402939859_4755617_71945a72f8.png[/img] How on earth can I be running a process without a command!? edit: [code]falco@falco-laptop:~$ ps -p 2257 PID TTY TIME CMD 2257 ? 00:00:09 skype [/code] oh CPU is still 100% after killing it though. [editline]16th June 2014[/editline] Damn, it persisted even after I logged out. A reboot fixed it, but really, just [I]what[/I] was going on?

microsoft doesn't give two shits about linux users. You're better off installing skype in wine [editline]16th June 2014[/editline] Skype for linux is in my top 3 of worst software I've ever used

CPU was still 100% after killing skype, logging out and force killing MDM.

Skype for Linux is fucking garbage and it's like 2-3 major versions behind. It doesn't even support group chat. Also, could be that one of your cores is failing, FPtje.

I've completely stopped using Skype post-Snowden.

I've stopped using Skype when the Windows client kept popping up in the middle of my fullscreen game just to show me ads.

I stopped using skype when I realized how the protocol works.

i stopped using skype because it's shit

IRC and Mumble woo~

Teamspeak strong

ffmpeg master race [editline]17th June 2014[/editline] Use whatever codec you want

imessage and facetime :] [editline]17th June 2014[/editline] TS for games and stuff

Is there a way to stream H.264 and Opus together with ffmpeg over UDP? I can do H.264 with MPEG-TS, but adding Opus fubar's it

I wish there was a good alternative to Skype that didn't involve SIP. That's really what's holding me back on Skype, is that it's too convinient. This isn't usually what holds me back, but making other people switch is harder than I thought.

Different people I use Skype to speak to use a subset of those.

Couldn't you just host your own XMPP server and get them to download XMPP apps?

[QUOTE=Adam.GameDev;45134483]Couldn't you just host your own XMPP server and get them to download XMPP apps?[/QUOTE] Well, that would require me to host my own XMPP server, and I can't do that. I don't own, nor do I have the funds to purchase, a device that would allow me to do this. No, not even a RPi. Besides, I'm not sure if there's any option of doing this and having video calls and even conference calls?

[QUOTE=mastersrp;45134513]Besides, I'm not sure if there's any option of doing this and having video calls and even conference calls?[/QUOTE] I think WebRTC is doing that

Tox is coming along nicely.

[QUOTE=Jookia;45135475]Tox is coming along nicely.[/QUOTE] Had my eye on this one since the beginning, but it isn't there yet. Getting there though, I can't wait to test the audio and video calling features once they're implemented.

Are there any nice screen recorders? I'd use open broadcaster but it is for Windows only.

[QUOTE=diwako;45136337]Are there any nice screen recorders? I'd use open broadcaster but it is for Windows only.[/QUOTE] recordmydesktop and ffmpeg work nicely. ffmpeg only works nicely [url=https://github.com/naelstrof/slop]in combination with some scripts[/url] though.

Skype is used constantly at my workplace for IM between employees in the call center. Understandably, the managers and us (IT) are trying to get off it and look for an alternative. We are really goddamn lucky that they apparently don't look for Skype in PCI audits. :v:

[QUOTE=mastersrp;45135665]Had my eye on this one since the beginning, but it isn't there yet. Getting there though, I can't wait to test the audio and video calling features once they're implemented.[/QUOTE] Audio calls are implemented in winTox and the CLI client toxic.

[QUOTE=Jookia;45140940]Audio calls are implemented in winTox and the CLI client toxic.[/QUOTE] So at least Tox core must have it then, right? In that case I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Venom has it too (which is cross platform and actually looks alright).

[QUOTE=mastersrp;45143586]So at least Tox core must have it then, right? In that case I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Venom has it too (which is cross platform and actually looks alright).[/QUOTE] Yep.

It comes with a makefile but this is actually my first time installing something like this or more like compiling it my self to use.
