Are all kernel modules available for ARM? I want to buy a raspberry pi, can I plug a headset than I know works on my desktop PC? Will it work with the raspberry?
Easton Rivera
not part of the kernel
Brody Thomas
I'm using Arch Linux, if it matters.
Nicholas Turner
what causes this to happen?
Chase Sanders
Let me interject for a moment. What you are referring to as GNU/Linux is, in fact, wayland/arch/systemd/GNU/Linux. Or, as I like to call it, systemd Plus Linux Plus Some Other Shit.
Sebastian Smith
What did he mean by this?
Kevin Barnes
So, instead of cleaning up and repartiotioning my internall hdd, buying a cheap thumb drive and installing linux on that is an option? Would that cause any problems?
Dylan King
who is this woman are there more images
Easton Taylor
your system got lost and can't be found. consider filling a missing persons report with the police (not the band)
Zachary Jenkins
what to happen? And why do you use the -v flag?
Christian Ramirez
If the flash drive is cheap you will get poor I/O performance
Lucas Moore
I asked in the previous thread about mounting. Turns out I was wrong, there is no /mount, but /media for mounting. Why is there both /media and /mnt for mounting? Which would I use for temporary mounting like a CD-ROM drive or USB drive?
Jace Cooper
I have a problem, I'm dual booting with Windows and it seems like Linux is setting system clock to be my regular clock while Windows is using system clock as Greenwich time because there's always constant difference.
If someone faced this problem, can you give me leads?
which ever the fuck you want you could mount it to /usb if you wanted too. Its YOUR system. Out side of the main required folders, you can do fuck all with it.
When i used samba i used /media and had all my shit there
Blake White
Actually not true, there's rules. I've read in some Linux magazine (take a look at your local newspaper stand, they seel couple of these magazines and they are literally crammed with useful information).
One was for removable media, one was for media that has to be mounted virtually or some shit.
I stopped using Linux, so I forgot
Hunter Thomas
setup ntp on both hosts
Nathaniel Watson
mount in /dev or /proc like a sane human
John Baker
Tried installing Manjaro. After starting the install it just got stuck at a black screen and never did anything else.
I've installed Mint before on this machine. Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with it this time around.
John Anderson
If it really doesn't matter, why have two or more separate directories just for mounting?
Brandon Hall
Weird. Did you boot into non free ISO? Is your secureboot/UEFI enabled?
Christian Ortiz
fuck off, retard
Jaxson Martinez
I thought this was the friendly GNU/Linux thread, asshole.
Robert Rivera
i'm not your asshole, bud
Robert Jenkins
I answered and you replied to the answer with the same question that was answered in the answer you replied to.
Not reading what people send you is the real asshole-ish move here, fag.
Jaxson Clark
I wanted to clarify the question a bit more, little bitch.
Thomas Edwards
You're the little bitch too scared to use Google like a normal person would.
Don't expect help you little nigger, go kill yourself
John Nelson
God I hope you're just baiting me, getting this mad in the Linux version of /sqt/.
Jonathan Rivera
I'm not even mad, I'm more upset about not having any weed left for fucks sake
Anthony Brown
Guess I was pressing the wrong option. I pressed the start non-free drivers option and it worked. Got into the live CD and started installing it, but I got a boot load error or something. It was quite long, would post it here but the internet suddenly stopped working in the live CD as I went to do that.
Landon Lopez
Anyone got TeamViewer running on Solus? i keep getting error on the several 32bit libraries
Jose Morales
Is it possible to change the opacity of a GTK2 color on gtkrc? Can't find anything related.
Jason Allen
Is there a distro that runs more efficiently/faster out-of-the-box than Lubuntu?
Luke Allen
Solus
Mason Allen
are linus and stallman autistic? not as an insult, but as an actual disorder
Zachary Lopez
No.
Luis Miller
>always loathed mpd for its shit multi-artist album grouping >bear with it and used cantata and ncmpcpp anyway >10 minutes ago >discover a 2013 github post saying cantata has album-artist tags for that purpose
i was pretty furious that it isn't mentioned anywhere else
Brody Clark
the fuck?
Kayden Perez
Disabled secure boot to see if it would fix anything. Same error.

whyyyyyyyyyy does debian keep booting to a black screen even if i edit the launch command to quiet splash nomodeset it still is black. i've found a lot of other people with this issue but none of their solutions worked on my machine
Noah Hill
install several lib32 libraries to solve problem
Carson Fisher
I've been using Ubuntu for school for about five months now. I'm feeling pretty confident with the command line and I've been playing around using i3 for the past week.
Would installing arch be much trouble? I
Eli Cruz
...
Sebastian Morris
use archanywhere and you'll be fine it isn't worth it though apt is superior
How u install libs, just find the file online and paste to /usr/bin/something ? why isn't it out of the box? i thought they claimed it is
Landon Barnes
>am a newfag >try to install multiple distros with no success >install ubuntu last >it just werks
i have failed you
Austin Evans
I prefer pacman, and wouldn't architect be a better arch installer than archanywhere?
Asher Davis
Tyrone keeps making the thread mean because he has no father.
Zachary Morgan
can all the archfags itt just calm down jesus christ it's neverending with you lot
Julian Martinez
I have disabled splashscreen and see the kernel messages when my linux boots and sometimes I see something in red (ERROR) but I'm never able to see the actual message.
How do I see only errors from the last boot?
Landon Scott
bootlog?
Christopher Wright
what's the command to see just the errors? I came across dmesg but it's so damn huge.
Christian Fisher
You can pipe the output to grep to search for a certain string
Easton Taylor
Okay. I retried few things, rebooted, and my bluetooth is still not working. Here's the message I'm getting.

How do I fix this? Anyone know?

Should I install the default Skype client, or are there any better alternatives? I'd like to use something that allows me to connect with other Skype users.
Ian Smith
Can I use youtube-dl to download a whole YT channel? There is a channel that makes some fucking good remixes and I want to download them all at once. (Dude doesn't provide proper links btw, so no "inb4 downloading music from YT")
The new Skype for Linux client, Ghetto Skype or web.skype.com on your browser are the best options atm. The old Skype client is deprecated.
Kevin Phillips
>Can I use youtube-dl to download a whole YT channel? yes

>Can I use youtube-dl to download a whole YT channel? There is a channel that makes some fucking good remixes and I want to download them all at once. >(Dude doesn't provide proper links btw, so no "inb4 downloading music from YT") link? I'll give it a try.
Lucas Hill
Don't use quotes.
Jordan Gutierrez
>The new Skype for Linux client You mean the official client from their page?
Sebastian Rodriguez
The one written by Pajeets at Microsoft.
Caleb Green
Thanks for having a japanese username so now my Sup Forums looks cool :^D
youtube-dl is such an amazing program. I was fuckign around for ages trying to find how to easily download heaps of music from soundcloud and it turns out youtube-dl does it with the most simple command in the world.
It's a shame soundcloud seems to have done away with different formats and is now sticking to shitty 128kbps encodes. I used to downlad .wav and all sorts from there.
Logan Ramirez
Does it work with Spotify?
Evan Jackson
lol has *** ever been this close to a woman?
Nolan Flores
Thoughts on Linux Mint?
Kayden Rogers
@57765383 it's shite
Benjamin Green
muh ssl
Dylan Martin
Get your memes right, the SSL meme is a Manjaro meme.
Daily reminder that if you want freedom don't follow Linus Torvalds.
James Roberts
Hey Sup Forums, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?
Chase James
Trump OS
William Morgan
daily reminder that if your a filthy leftwinger you don't have the right to say the word "freedom"

keep your cancer at
Easton Watson
at 57765815 keep your cancer at
Daniel Martin
I don't follow anyone since I'm not a leftist animal like yourself.
John Rogers
Best all-round distro for raspberry pi? Stick with raspbian or use something like archARM?
Isaiah Parker
ShitRedditSays
Levi Murphy
Why is this thread full of memers. Newfags pls go.
Adrian Fisher
because linux itself is a meme
Dominic Carter
look at and substitute 57765815 for 57766917
Oliver Williams
hey Sup Forums, just installed arch linux and I'm happy with it, but I've read that systemd is bad, does anyone know if arch linux is using systemd and if so, how do I remove it???
Dominic Richardson
yeah. just uninstall it by doing pacman -R systemd
Zachary Gomez
It's mostly a chronic freetard debbibabby
Hunter Martinez
thanks, it worked
Zachary Miller
What's bad about systemd again? >I read it's bad Summarise in your words - how it effects you because it doesn't match with some neckbeards' philosophy
