I remember the days when it was cool to get archey, have it make a screenshot and boast about specs and distro/de/wm/mouse cursor theme choice. "I'm running Gentoo Linux on my i7 quad core and 8GB RAM!" "Well [I]I'm[/I] running Arch on a Pentium 2 with 400 MhZ and 128MB RAM and it's smooth as butter!" Haha those days!

I'm dualbooting Windows and Ubuntu right now, but whenever I install fglrx drivers, I boot into low graphics mode and basically can't do shit until I uninstall them through the terminal. Anyone know how to install AMD's proprietary drivers without ritual sacrifice?

[QUOTE=Coolboy;47017033]I can tell you the only two ways I know. get Nvidea gpu wait for (miracle) better drivers[/QUOTE] Hmm... well, where can I find a goat to sacrifice to the elder gods of AMD?

AMD drivers on Linux are frighteningly bad catalyst is so slow to update that they don't even include them in the Arch repositories anymore

At least you don't have a damn optimus system. Bumblebee is great, really, but a lot of games don't support it.

After several hours of faffing about with mesa, I've managed to get Steam games to actually run on open source drivers under 14.10. For now this is victory enough :v:

[QUOTE=reevezy67;47017442]At least you don't have a damn optimus system. Bumblebee is great, really, but a lot of games don't support it.[/QUOTE] isn't there a command you can run to force bumblebee to kick in? or am i getting confused

Yeah, I'm saying that when you do that a lot of games don't work.

Any suggestion on a music player? I've just always used Foobar on my Windows machines, never really had much need for uses on my Linux boxes as they've primarily been potatoes, servers, or home-use machines. Switching over to it as a primary for my laptop.

I like Clementine.

VLC

Audacious

VLC. I'm listening to music during a lesson at school right now with VLC.

chmod +x steamcmd && ./steamcmd I think?

I can't try that right now because Azure is being shit and not letting me create a new VM because the VHD it wants to create already exists, and it won't let me delete it because it's being used by a non-existent VM. :suicide: /rant

I recommend shutting down Azure first of course

You have to delete them from the web app though, not the VM [editline]27th January 2015[/editline] Okay I lost the VHD and now I'm reinstalling SteamCMD and am getting this: [code]steamcmd.sh: 3: cd: can't cd to steamcmd.sh steamcmd.sh: 16: [: unexpected operator steamcmd.sh: 16: [: unexpected operator steamcmd.sh: 29: steamcmd.sh: /linux32/steamcmd: not found[/code] I've installed lib32gcc1 and lib32stdc++6 which made it work last time, but now they're doing nothing
