literally lmao'ing (laughing my ass off) as i'm watching this image. why did he feel the need to do this? im literally going to post my celebration of it here the very day he dies.
My only claim to fame is the sortie meme on DJT on Sup Forums.
Joshua Wilson
GTK user here, what's that on your pic
Connor Martinez
lmao that retarded place is on Sup Forums now where it rightfully belongs. *applauds to everyone who helped kicked it off Sup Forums once and for all*

Chase Bennett
Desktop threads should come back
William Sullivan
agreed
Dylan Price
shitholes like /fglt/ and /djt/ should be moved to the shithole known as Sup Forums where they all rightfully belong kek when did you leave /djt/ by the way?
Mason Allen
i dont think so tim
Jace Scott
Go to 4keks irc and tell them.
Juan Price
I'm the one who started forcing the Windows users = Hindu/Indians on Sup Forums. Pajeet and the likes of it.
Feels good
Asher Gomez
I hate you. You turned Sup Forums into Sup Forums.
Benjamin Ramirez
is genkernel cheating?
Jonathan Brown
why did you post this as a reply to my post why do you think it was a remotely relevant reply? I like you though, you turned Sup Forums into Sup Forums. Which is much appreciated since this place really needs at least a counter balance.
Jackson Gomez
no. it's fine for your first time. do learn manual configuration though when you get a working system. it's a fucking pain in the ass to chroot again if you fucked something up so just stick to genkernel for your first time.
Charles Morris
other co founder reporting in.
Dylan Hughes
british memes are so fucking shit

I've started using fedora for the first time ever in my 7 years of linux and I'm loving it. After Ubuntu, then Debian, then Arch, then Gentoo, then Debian again, and now to Fedora everything just seems to work. yum/dnf works as well as apt, the default programs pull my email/calendar into gnome and its notifications nicely, bluetooth JUST WORKS, and everything has sane defaults. The installer was quicker than any other distro I've installed, default disk mounting is easy to manage, and my t420 has never run a distro better.
I've installed i3 in case I need to do some productive work with a workflow and environment I'm used to, but I'm going to try this gnome thing for a bit. Anyone else using fedora and have any tips or tricks they've learned during their time using it?
Ayden Adams
my friend! you were the one who animated my edits?

I get a problem when i am trying to run mpd Dec 11 23:20 : socket: Failed to bind to '[::]:6600': Address already in use [\code] what can i do to fix it . And this is my mpd.conf file
bind_to_address "::" port "6600" metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date"
audio_output { name "PulseAudio" type "pulse" }
audio_output { name "FIFO" type "fifo" path "/tmp/mpd.fifo" format "44100:16:2" }
Aaron Gomez
I'm on Arch if that's relevant
Gavin Walker
is that ponyfag who made the debian script still around here?
Liam Brooks
systemctl mask mpd.service systemctl mask mpd.socket Both as root.
Then reboot and report back
Nolan Murphy
try changing the port
Zachary Bennett
this. then do sudo pacman -R systemd
Levi Turner
>do i fit in yet Sup Forums XDD
Brody Turner
What? i don't understand this post. i was just trying to help him.
Dominic Walker
kek
Jace Morris
That's me :)
Ryder Cooper
i don't do anything its someone else and i didn't post that i use debian btw and this fix the problem with the port one more thing i have set me music directory to ~/Music but when i am run ncmpcpp and make a db update with the u it doesn't sow anything
Oliver Morales
>tfw still on 4.8 kernel >tfw I still call the whole platform Linux >tfw my distribution follows the GNU/Linux nomenclature
Noah Morgan
Try doing sudo apt-get purge systemd It should solve your problem.
Colton Baker
>and i didn't post that He did that to me yesterday too. Hilarious, isn't it
Mason Wilson
>tfw I still call the whole platform Linux As you should. Switch to based gentoo.
Jayden Green
>one more thing i have set me music directory to ~/Music but when i am run ncmpcpp and make a db update with the u it doesn't sow anything
Look through the ncmpcpp man page and see where an ncmpcpp configuration file should be and what should be in it. I believe there is a setting in that config file to set your library location
Joshua Bennett
Yes. You can set that by doing sudo apt-get purge systemd.
Blake Powell
Can we now say that systemd definitively proven it's superiority and earned widespread adoption through its technical merits? stop the undue hate and the spreading of fake news. systemd IS the current best init, and by far.
Ryder Cox
it's not an init system though. its a bloated piece of garbage. also, why post this "image" if you don't understand 80% of it?
Robert Smith
Install freetype-freeworld and change your fontconfig settings to enable rgb and lcdfilter default.
Alexander Jones
Do you really think anyone's falling for this stuff? How new are you?
Elijah Bennett
Can you help me redo this shit
Xavier Wilson
>also, why post this "image" if you don't understand 80% of it? Why would you say such a thing? Do you know me? I actually have a very good understanding of linux (kernel) and the bottom layers of the user land (excepting with android).
Carter Harris
These thread have become utter cancer
Fuck you all
Jeremiah Torres
really? what's an r*p? (masked the second one here so you can't google) this isn't related directly but its all i need to know from you.
Charles Wright
I'm just helping the guy for fucks sake Do sudo apt-get install openrc
Chase Edwards
>generals >not reporting I've been telling you niggas for almost 5 years now. It's all your fault.
Elijah Morris
why isnt the Start key bound to anything in linux? could it at least open the start menu like in windows ? why isnt it set to do that by default ?
Joseph Lee
im actually writing a kernel module to handle this as we speak what do you want it to do? open the windows start bar?
Leo Perry
do you ever get bored of whining?
Ayden Morgan
Fonts look beautiful now. Thanks a lot user
Joseph Rodriguez
what? none of my keys bound in linux? i running arch btw
Luke Perez
why can't FEH open .svg images?
that really sucks
Nathaniel Bell
No problem.
Angel Bell
Nah, I'm European
Owen Ortiz
of course you are. if you were american, you would be rioting
Eli Scott
Go to another imageboard then. There's plenty of smaller communities with much more technically talented people that haven't fallen to the ever-growing tide of loud newfags on the left end of the Dunning-Kruger curve. There's no use complaining here when you're outnumbered
At the very least (2*4)chan's /tech/ is somewhat better than here.
Eli Perez
/tech/ is the worst
Anthony Martinez
That's managed by your window manager. For example in the most recent version of gnome the "Super" key is mapped to a start menu of sorts so you can search or get a view of all your open windows.
Nicholas Stewart
>2^3's /tech/ got anything better bruh?
Juan Nguyen
so how is fedora with gnome these days
Jonathan Evans
BUMPP
Jaxon Taylor
back to Sup Forums you go
Parker James
So, I installed a package running Mint 18. Now what? I searched the package name in the "start menu" area on my desktop, but I have no idea where to begin looking for the program.
Caleb Kelly
Xubuntu is so fucking fast holy shit
Elijah Davis
well. in gnome, XFCE and MATE it could open the "apllications" bar at the top left, instead of having to click it. and in KDE and LXDE it could open the "appications" bar in the bottom left instead of having to click it im not sure why this hasnt been done. "Super" key means Start key?
Jace Rogers
you what?
Evan Young
What package did you install?
If it's an application then you can just type the application name in the terminal and it will run.
Ethan Hall
svg isn't an image format, pleb
Alexander Perez
visualboyadvance
I've already tried that, but it says "visualboyadvance: command not found.
This is not an accurate representation of Windows audio system
Hudson Parker
see just in cased you missed it the first time. waiting for the answer since you seem to know so much about linux.
Thomas Hall
How does linux handle windows malware? What will happen when plugging a USB flash drive infected with windows malware into machine running linux with wine installed?
Henry Wood
It's some of these programs which aren't lowercase. VisualBoyAdvance
Asher Rodriguez
So I installed .net 4 onto my linux install via wine and every .net program I've tried to run works fine except for gnomeria which claims I don't have .net installed even though I do. Gnomeria is rated as platinum on WineDB yet when I try to run it it claims I don't have .net 4 installed even though I do and other .net programs work fine. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Jaxon Hughes
who is this qt?
Joshua Barnes
nothing
unless you run said malware and the malware was designed to target linux hosts running wine then it could destroy user files
