Funny how no one else, including me, updated this morning and nothing happened.
If being stupid is your thing you can take your blog to /sqt/ like a normal person.
Bottomline: Fuck off
Isaiah Reyes
>/sqt/ Fuck your generals and containment threads.

My headless Debian stable install on my home server never broke.
Carter Wood
i use mint because im not a retard
Caleb Rivera
>Arch Linux Found the problem.
Evan Russell
>arch
Charles Clark
Probably because it's a server and the number of packages are limited
Kill yourself idiot. Go be stupid in containment threads designed for you

Charles Bailey
Nothing ever breaks for me though I only use xubuntu at home and fedora at work.
Arch has some neat ideas but it's not for me.
Adrian Smith
>Probably because it's a server and the number of packages are limited Possibly, but then again that's the point. In my own experience Linux is extremely stable and reliable if the entire GUI part is not in use.
I guess the last time something actually broke is my Kubuntu 16.04 desktop install when I upgraded to Pascal, since Nouveau doesn't support Pascal and it now fails to boot entirely. Haven't bothered fixing it yet.
Joshua Richardson
Perhaps you missed the topic of OP
Cameron Baker
Behold, the power of unpaid volunteers that make updates when they feel like it and only get around to fixing shit when they feel like it.
Very unprofessional. This is why I'm thinking about getting a Mac. It's really the only other option. Fuck Windows.
Kayden Cooper
Sorry Arch, I should have trusted the professional devs with my life. Turns out it was just an issue with the drive making proper contact. Everything's fine now.
Eli Ross
You mean you weren't plugging it in all the way? kek
Xavier Cooper
How does manjaro compare in terms of stability and having trivial things working?
Thomas Martinez
Kind of. It would give me the async page read error and keep mounting and unmounting plugged all the way in, but if I backed the drive out slightly it would mount and come right up.
Thomas Fisher
Sounds like a hardware issue, not a software one. Try other usb ports /drives
Elijah Taylor
Yeah, it's something with the drive because I was trying every port available and getting the same result. It's a drive I leave plugged in constantly and is always available, so when it wouldn't come up all of the sudden I assumed it was software. I should've tried some other drives too.
Aaron Sullivan
Lol I was just about to update my own system, then I saw your post..... glad I could help.
Hunter Jones
Nothing, because I'm not a hack Morty.
Tyler Robinson
The only time things usually break in Arch is when something is wrong upstream and even this is fairly uncommon, so unless Manjaro is modifying the Arch packages in some way, it should be stable and everything will work without a problem. If something does go wrong with an update, it's usually pretty easy to target the problem based on the packages upgraded.
Austin Moore
>so unless Manjaro is modifying the Arch packages in some way, Don't know about this, but manjaro is several days behind Arch, so I'm guessing they usually take a look at new packages and either patch things themselves or postpone the updates
Jonathan Martin
>Use Mint >Not retarded
Hmm...
Mason Wilson
Arch Linux sounds like a decent idea, building an OS from the ground up but I'm too fucking lazy.
Luis Wilson
Cinnamon is pretty great nowadays. The display manager ir complete shit though
Owen Hall
It's a cool idea and works well for most of the time but the OS never holds your hand for anything so you need to learn how to configure anything unless you're ok with the upstream default configurations
Liam Lee

That's why there will never be a Linux year
Benjamin Cruz
It takes half an hour unless you've never used a terminal and Linux before in your life.
I like it because debian makes their repositories as complicated as fucking possible, and you don't have to reinstall because something breaks when you do a dist-upgrade on ubuntu.
Also, the AUR is magical and has vastly improved my life tenfold. Can't believe I used to clone gits and build the packages myself all the time.
There are of course things that do this for debian, but I find they never work as well
Nicholas Ramirez
>paid MS troll What did Windows 10 break this week, Microsoft?
Wyatt Richardson
systemd
Joshua Kelly
Read the thread illiterate hipster.
Henry Smith
>It takes half an hour unless you've never used a terminal and Linux before in your life. That's the boat I am in. Never been a Linux user but if I wanted something out of the box I'd just stick with Windows.
Justin Brown
If your actually using official arch linux, it must be a hardware problem. Arch doesn't break things. Your mother sucks dicks in hell, btw.
Evan King
this
Connor Kelly
MPV, for some weird reason. Also GTK3 has been broken for ages, fuck.
Benjamin Barnes
The packages are shit. You have shit renamed and replaced by unrelated shit, resulting in missing dependencies and wrong packages being installed, for example. Mint, being a fork of a fork of a fork, is shit simply because you cannot take someone's work and transfer over all the intelligence to extend it wisely, and then you do this twice and you get two layers of nobody knowing what the fuck they're doing.
James Baker
install gvfs
Thomas Cook
I guess you're right, buy cinnamon is still pretty great in comparison to GNOME
Christopher Clark
>fork of a fork of a fork What is Debian forked from?
Ryan Sullivan
fucking retard.
if the kernel was updated, reboot the fucking thing
Isaiah Miller
When will we be able to restart the kernel without restarting the whole machine?
Joseph Hughes
There's probably some update command to fix it. restarting is easier.
Jonathan Ross
nothing
Sebastian James
The battery icon. Keeps randomly disappearing, and sometimes it won't even be there to begin with if I do a fresh boot. And there's no way to get it back, even through the system tray settings. Just have to keep rebooting and hope the battery icon shows up this time, and stays up for a decent amount of time. What a piece of butthole.
Josiah Baker
Just use windows or a mac ya dingus's
Benjamin Russell
they said we didn't like a year ago. but it doesn't seem to be true lol. that was meant to be a kernel
Cameron Jones
Checked (Trips of truth)
Christopher James
>Probably because it's a server and the number of packages are limited i'm pretty sure the debian repo has more packages than archs
Adam Barnes
>What broke for you recently?
virtualbox on i3 was all funky stupid I reverted to older binary directly from official site all is fine
Luke Cox
fuck loonix
Asher Wilson
My systemd rule to rmmod/modprobe psmouse to get mouse behavior to not be weird on wake from suspend seems to have broken recently. Either that or I just need a systemd reload or system reboot, not sure how long it's been desu
Adrian Garcia
>My systemd rule to rmmod/modprobe psmouse to get mouse behavior to not be weird on wake from suspend What?
Andrew Rodriguez
I'm not sure why, but on my laptop after wake from suspend the mouse input gets wonky. My guess is that it registers middle click as being held all the time, because it'll paste whatever I have in the selection buffer (not sure what it's called t b h), and you can't click on tabs/menus without shit getting crazy (e.g. in i3 it'll select all windows as if you pressed super+a instead of the one you tried to select).
I would switch to a different tty and back to my X11 session to restore proper behavior. After a while I found out that reloading the mouse driver made it normal and created a rule to do so. Now that has broken for whatever reason.
It's a pretty rare problem, you'll only find a few very confused people by searching for it online.
Adam Moore
kubuntu 16.04 -network was missing after login, no network devices, rebooted, was back again. syslog showed systemd/networking being at odds with my usb connected android -reboot 2: after login plasmashell did not come up -various graphics glitches in plasmashell
Kayden Campbell
Samba (specifically gvfs, gvfs-smb in thunar) always breaks randomly for me when trying to access windows shares. One day it will work, the next it wont. I have no idea why. Never had this problem in xubuntu.
Ryder Allen
Samba doesn't work 100% on debian either. It's just shit

Now what?
Mason Myers
ya dun goofed
Zachary King
dude just install TempleOS instead. much better.
Tyler Martin
Nothing broke, because I use Exherbo, a system designed to forbid filthy casuals. My package can have multiple versions of packages in a repository because it isn't made for retards.
Ryder Murphy
Open task manager, find explorer.exe and kill it. Next find something and its like "run task" and type explorer.exe, click "with admistrative priveleges". It should be fixed now
Parker Powell
My Arch machine started randomly freezing. After trying EVERYTHING I thought I'd install Win10 on an old drive. Sure enough, that froze too. Yup, must be a hardware issue.
Anyone else experience 6700K freezes, with the frequency of freezes increasing if C-states are enabled? I've isolated the problem to either the CPU or the MOBO. I'll probably just RMA both.
Colton Young
Have you updated the microcode (intel-ucode)? Updated your bios? If c-states are a likely cause, this would be something to check.
Nathaniel Baker
Or just buy a Dell with all of the last gen hardware that's in the current gen MacBook then just put Mac OS on it. Same hardware except you save over a grand. Alternatively you could just use a different flavor of Linux.
Gabriel Barnes
Yes and yes. And addressed 20 other potential issues, none of which fix the freezing. Someone on an Asrock forum has the same issue with this mobo/cpu combination so I'm not sure if new hardware will fix it.
Hunter Garcia
Aaaand since I posted that it hard froze again. I'll return the parts on Monday. Don't know whether to try my luck again with Skylake or try a different architecture like Broadwell-E.
