Because it is a system unnecessarily complicated by its focus on being user-friendly. I notice little problems in Ubuntu all the time (and I've only been using it for a little over a week), but I'm not about to deconstruct the OS to find the root of the problem. Sure, I made changes before I noticed the issues (Ubuntu and it's core applications are not pleased about running with no DE), but I find it easier to start with a very simple system and find problems while adding components, because then you know where the problem is and any troubleshooting is simpler.

What I'm trying to say is that I have no clue :v: godspeed.

Can anyone here tell me what the problem is when I try to compile Cataclysm (not WoW)? No idea what this is talking about since I'm fairly new to GNU/Linux.

I go to the Cataclysm directory and type "make" and it spits this back out

g++    -O3 -c action.cpp -o obj/action.o
In file included from mtype.h:12:0,
                 from game.h:4,
                 from action.cpp:1:
color.h:7:21: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I just wanna play some games, man.

You need to install the headers for ncurses. On ubuntu/debian it should be 'libncurses5-dev'.

Not really Linux related, but I know some of you will be interested.

I'm getting CentOS to install on a webserver woopydoo.

Can someone package Winelocale into a .deb for me please? im really new and I just want it to work

Thoughts on using Arch as a testing server?

[QUOTE=mastersrp;42175634]Thoughts on using Arch as a testing server?[/QUOTE]

Archlinux on a testserver is alright, as long as it's used for testing.

thanks apt
why does wine have so many dependancy problems ;_;

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;42132394]Also linus hates UEFI. So there is no official support in the kernel yet.
[/QUOTE]
Arch's kernel has EFISTUB support turned on by default ([url]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders[/url]). Makes setting up UEFI pretty simple, though I guess that depends on your mobo's implementation.

It's still not in the official kernel.

Trying to install Linux Mint on my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2009), through USB (since I'm poor and its 04:38 AM, no dvds available). I keep getting stuck at this line during boot "fb conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs efi vga". Tried googling for it, but nothing really useful comes up. Any ideas?

Worth noting is that I am going to install this on a completely clean 240gb SSD (intel).

[B]EDIT:

So I finally managed to install it, but now when booting it. It seems to just lock with a black screen, and a purplish artifact-looking line at the top of the screen, and a bit to the left.

[Cowabanga]

Oh my god why is it such a pain in the ass to install a simple mail server? I only want a mailserver which I can use pop3/smtp with, make email addresses that don't require me making independent unix accounts and not take 500mbs of RAM.

Can someone tell me of a guide of packages which do the things I want above?

I'd like to know this aswell. The pain with mailservers on GNU/Linux is incredible.

So after a shitload of meddling I finally got it installed, by using the MATE distro instead of the Cinnamon.

Oh shit, sorry. I forgot to respond to you. Generally when you can't boot with a distro's live usb/cd, its kernel doesn't have the proper drivers to boot with your hardware.
To fix that you just get a distro that's more current. Glad you got it fixed.

Hah, I appreciate the thought tho. The problem was lying in that the nvidia/nouveau drivers was either fucked up, or the more plausible explanation that it conflicted with something, even in FrameBuffer level, causing it to freeze even during text-boot.

Now to see if I can get Dwarf Fortress to work.

Agreed. I've never had so much of a headache than when I tryed to make dovecot work with the MySQL database I created for Postfix. Such a fucking pain in the ass. I sort of gave up in the end and its all waiting there until I gather the strength to try again.

None of the guides on the InterWebs were helpful either; there was always something that was missing or wrong.

So I waited awhile to actually try all of your suggestions for my netbook.

Settled on CrunchBang, it's amazing.

Don't most people here use Arch Linux? I'm not sure anyone here knows how to bud.

I was hoping since it was General Linux that some people would be using a Buntu variant or something. oh well. thanks anyways

[lavacano]

dpkg is in the Gentoo repositories and is capable of making .deb packages (i believe)

but i don't feel like fumbling around to figure out how when i barely use wine myself

It looks pretty good, how is it's performance? (have something to compare it to?)

Hm, is it standard that in Enlightenment 17 that your applications from the other desktop environment (in this case MATE), does not get listed in "Applications", or anywhere? Just the desktop shortcuts/files.

Have you tried "apt-cache search wine" and looking if winelocale is in there?
Also isn't winelocale the same thing as winetricks?

Its more like applocale for windows. and no it does not run under wine

My website on my VPS is down! I can't get acess to my VPS via SSH and the only thing I can just about do is slowly connect to the Teamspeak server on it or realllly slowly load up the website.
Is this DDOS?
The SolusVM panel has lost touch with the server too.
EDIT:
The host have confirmed its DDOS (they said DDOS but it might be a DOS) and its now mitigated. Resolved!
