[QUOTE=Trekintosh;47856434]Yeah I followed the steps, there's Makefile.in, Makefile.am, and make-alias (no extension). Do they need to be not capitalized?[/QUOTE] No, there needs to be a file named Makefile or makefile or even GNUmakefile. If none of those are there, after running the ./configure script, then the configure script probably failed. When you run it, what does it say?

[QUOTE=Relaxation;47856722]Terminal-based music player suggestions? Been out of the loop on it for a bit.[/QUOTE] mpd + ncmpcpp

[QUOTE=Relaxation;47856722]Terminal-based music player suggestions? Been out of the loop on it for a bit.[/QUOTE] [URL=http://cmus.github.io]cmus[/URL] is what I use

[QUOTE=Darkwater124;47859127]mpd + ncmpcpp[/QUOTE] I'd sub mpd for mopidy, allows you to integrate streaming music services.

[QUOTE=Relaxation;47856722]Terminal-based music player suggestions? Been out of the loop on it for a bit.[/QUOTE] Why not use something fancy like gnome-music?

So as someone mentioned a few days ago, Steam replaced the Tux icon with SteamOS icon, but I am confused about this: As far as I know, this means Linux (Steam logo+SteamPlay): [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/w67j0lb.png[/IMG] But what does this mean? (Only SteamPlay, no Steam logo): [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/TOcXCtL.png[/IMG] The first image is from Cities: Skylines, which I know is for linux. The second is from Unturned, which is free to play and I tried to play it myself, but it didn't download any files. So I suspect Unturned is not for Linux, but only for Windows and OS X. Edit: I just realised something. I just used inspect element and looked at the icons. The steam logo and steamplay are separate logos, and the steam logo is called "linux". So I guess that solves that..

SteamPlay just means it's cross-platform.

[QUOTE=Darkwater124;47860840]SteamPlay just means it's cross-platform.[/QUOTE] Cross platform means it is supported on more than one platform? Not necessarely Linux too? So the second image means it's cross-platform and works on Windows and OS X?

[QUOTE=Simon Belmont;47860858]Cross platform means it is supported on more than one platform? Not necessarely Linux too? So the second image means it's cross-platform and works on Windows and OS X?[/QUOTE] Exactly.

[QUOTE=Darkwater124;47859127]mpd + ncmpcpp[/QUOTE] Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for but could not remember the program. Strangely, I even searched around and saw no mention of this (an error on my end, most likely.) Thanks! Anyone here using Conky? I'm too lazy to fix my script. It's pretty terrible right now, but programming in Rust has had my full attention lately.

Okay, so I'm using libdvbpsi-dev for my library, how do I spoof the version number or convince ./configure to accept the other one?

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;47863900]How? the only thing apt-get install will work for is libdvbpsi-dev which gives me 0.2.2[/QUOTE] You need to download the recent version of that library and build that too.

[QUOTE=Van-man;47863956]You need to download the recent version of that library and build that too.[/QUOTE] Is it just clone the git and then ./configure make? I don't know how to linux, why isn't there just a download for a working VLC for Raspberry Pi?

Any Ideas for getting ncmpcpp commands on screen somehow when I run my mpd+ ncmpcpp script? I could add a separate terminal to output the commands into my startup script, however I don't want the clutter. This would be temporary until I get the hang of it. I was thinking of making a conky script for it, but I'm too lazy. Maybe It's best to just study the commands.. Sigh ^_^

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;47864053]why isn't there just a download for a working VLC for Raspberry Pi?[/QUOTE] Everyone's using omxplayer for hardware-accelerated playback on Raspbian, that's why.

[quote]~$ sudo mke2fs -j /dev/sdc1[/quote] so how likely is it that my existing, working dmcrypted partition survived a few seconds of this before I ctrl-c'd it

[QUOTE=Tone Float;47875603]so how likely is it that my existing, working dmcrypted partition survived a few seconds of this before I ctrl-c'd it[/QUOTE] Manually recoverable if you have a backup of the partition table, and the inode table backup. Formatting doesn't actually remove any data, just rewrites the inodes.

[QUOTE=birkett;47875896]Manually recoverable if you have a backup of the partition table, and the inode table backup. Formatting doesn't actually remove any data, just rewrites the inodes.[/QUOTE] It does remove some data, but the dangerous part is if it's being formatted to a different filesystem that does things in a different way. Data could become corrupted this way, and also when formatting is full instead of quick.

So goddamned confused. I was able to mount the partition using zuluCrypt, but no matter what I did (mount as user or root, uncheck "mount as read only") it was read-only! I could see the file inside! (A Virtualbox hard disk) [editline]4th June 2015[/editline] RIP porn

So this shit doesn't happen, and if it does can be rolled back.

[QUOTE=mastersrp;47878481]not to mention to commit small and often. So this shit doesn't happen, and if it does can be rolled back.[/QUOTE] This was literally the only change in that commit. How much smaller do you want them? People make mistakes, even when they're careful.

Good news for KDE people who are thinking about Plasma 5: Existing themes for KDE 4 may not require all that much porting. [t]http://jesusfuck.me/di/ZJCG/tarsonisdesk.png[/t] In my case there's still a few little bumps and creases I need to smooth out, but if you're not using a transparent-as-shit theme like I am it might "just werk" for you

[QUOTE=DrTaxi;47884182]This was literally the only change in that commit. How much smaller do you want them? People make mistakes, even when they're careful.[/QUOTE] One commit per character.

[QUOTE=IpHa;47891794]One commit per character.[/QUOTE] One commit per bit or bust.
