[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;51634833]I wish I could ever get i3 looking as nice or as functional as that. I can't get used to tiling WMs...[/QUOTE] It's just like fashion, cop and take inspiration from the shit you like. It's even better because people throw their shit up on github so you can copy-paste it initially.

[QUOTE=eirexe;51630256]I riced my system [t]http://i.imgur.com/oifwiJT.png[/t][/QUOTE] nice rice. where's the part where you start doing stuff with the computer though?? :)

jessie-backports doesn't have git ported over from sid or stretch, so now I'm building it from source. For one bloody config option. Sigh.

Every now and then I try different DEs/WMs(maybe I'll try i3 next), but Dolphin always pulls me back to KDE. I know you can run Dolphin in any environment... but it just feels wrong pulling in half of KDE just to run a file manager.

Is there a way to get my WiFi netctl profile to be started at boot but have it not block getty or something along those lines? What I find is that I have to wait around 7 seconds for my WiFi to start up before I can actually log in, as it blocks the login prompt.

Is there a way to automatically run a script serverside on successful SFTP upload to server? If I for example take a picture using ShareX configured to upload to my server via SFTP, could I somehow make my server detect that I'm uploading a file and then run a bash script once it's uploaded?

These solutions kinda suck though.

[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;51634833]I wish I could ever get i3 looking as nice or as functional as that. I can't get used to tiling WMs...[/QUOTE] Honestly I thought that, now I can hardly go back to usual DEs unless I'm letting someone else use my desktop/laptop. It's just keybindings and once you've got used to those (you can change them by editing the config) your workflow gets so quick.

During a routine update, Windows 10 somehow managed to completely fuck its shit up. Not just failing to boot, not just a corrupt file system, but a completely unrecoverable file system! I ran every recovery tool I knew on it (which took over a day) and couldn't get the NTFS partition to mount anymore. Had to wipe it and do a completely fresh install. I still have no idea what went wrong or how I could prevent it the next time I try to update. It really makes me appreciate Arch's upgrade process and how simple and transparent everything is.

I can't figure out why none of my systemd timers are triggering.

System booted 2 months 8 days ago and that's the only time it ran. Backup was triggered manually 3 days ago and hasn't run since. Ran systemctl start and enable on the backup timer, still being a lemon.

I spent the last week trying out different distributions and desktops to see which one really fit me. I'd been using Antergros KDE for the past month or so on my "new" thinkpad x220, but wanted to see if anything else fit the machine and my personal taste better. I started with i3 on manjaro, going from there through GNOME, MATE, LXDE and XFCE, and Cinnamon as well as using mint and debian. In the end I... returned to Antergros KDE. I'm more of a kde man myself anyway.

hi, does anyone what happened to cub linux? the chrome like interface running on the ubuntu distro?

Hey guys. I'm trying to set up an old laptop as a LAN music server for my dad. I installed [url=https://www.linuxliteos.com/]Linux Lite[/url] (Ubuntu derivative) on the laptop, and to add files and such I've decided to set up a Samba share. To set it up, I followed this tutorial: [url]https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/network.html#shares[/url] After all that, I can see it in Windows 10 network sharing, but it refuses to let me access: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7333627/ShareX/2017-02/10T154858.png[/t] Meanwhile, I have another Linux laptop running [url=http://www.lakka.tv/]Lakka[/url], and to add files it uses Samba as well. It worked straight out of the box: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7333627/ShareX/2017-02/10T155753.png[/t] Any hot tips?

Could you post your /etc/samba/smb.conf file?

Does it work if you access directly by IP address? i.e. "\\192.168.1.*"

Protip: Before wasting everybody's time with a LAN networking problem, make sure your distro's firewall is configured properly. Disabled the firewall and magically everything worked. Thanks for your help anyway.

If in doubt just ditch Samba and use NFS.

[QUOTE=helifreak;51806798]If in doubt just ditch Samba and use NFS.[/QUOTE] I was like 5 minutes away from giving up and using either this or FTP.

Can't use NFS on windows 10 unless you have the enterprise edition... EDIT: works in pro now too

[QUOTE=IpHa;51806847]Can't use NFS on windows 10 unless you have the enterprise edition...[/QUOTE] I'm using it on Pro.

[QUOTE=helifreak;51807018]I'm using it on Pro.[/QUOTE] I stand corrected, looks like the added it to pro sometime after the initial release. I'll have to check this out

WTF the windows 10 NFS client doesn't support UTF8

[QUOTE=IpHa;51808842]WTF the windows 10 NFS client doesn't support UTF8[/QUOTE] How so? Moonrunes are rendering perfectly fine here.

[QUOTE=helifreak;51810324]How so? Moonrunes are rendering perfectly fine here.[/QUOTE] Everything other than ASCII got turned into garbage for me.

[QUOTE=IpHa;51810349]Everything other than ASCII got turned into garbage for me.[/QUOTE] Just realised I mounted it over SSHFS, yeah NFS mount is fucked. Whoops. Was going to try remounting with a different encoding but umount locked up, mount refuses to do anything while a command is running, and apparently being administrator doesn't give you permissions to end the process. My god is Windows shit sometimes.
