1: How do I make this command autostart at boot? > xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan on
It's the only way to get rid of overscan on my tv.
2: What's a good gpuz or hwmonitor alternative? psensor doesn't display the right values.

I started using xubuntu last month and loving it so far. What music player do you suggest for newcomers such as myself?

It seems you need more practice of your English skills before you go apply for a job at the local call center, Pajeet.
>2: What's a good gpuz or hwmonitor alternative? psensor doesn't display the right values. CPU-G
Adrian Clark
no, i made a mistake and fell for a week back I kept gtk as it came
Nathan Perry
But BSD is for cucks, because companies could close your code and sell it even without telling you.
Jaxon Evans
That's true freedom, only a communist cuck would think otherwise.
Sebastian Foster
So PostgreSQL is for cucks. Node.js is for cucks. X.org is for cucks. Python is for cucks. At last I truly see.
Jason Jenkins
yep

Hi there Sup Forumsuys! I have a question. I want to put Linux on my computer to dual boot with Windows 7. The problem is that the only network access I have at the moment is through my phone. I can download any of the isos and transfer to my computer to make the bootable usb no problem. But it seems like a lot of distros require Internet access just to install. And tethering isn't an option. Can you recommend a distro I can do a full install for from the iso only? Thanks!
Ian Torres
>uhh b-but they came from plebbit too!! Couldn't care less. see
Cameron Carter
Is there a market for a * USB WiFi adapter * 802.11ac with 2x2 MIMO * 2 external antennas * fully Linux compatible with stock kernel drivers * supports master mode
As far as I know there is no such thing on the market.
Mason Davis
>market take that racist shit out of here please. this is a friendly subreddit.
John Jackson
>it seems like a lot of distros require Internet access just to install. Bullshit
Charles Nguyen

You can download the complete Debian repository in the form of DVD and CD .isos

fucking piece of shit. never ever buy broadcom shit.

Did you read Sup Forums's sticky?
Gabriel Wood
It happens every other week I swear
William Howard
That happens to GPL software too. The GPL is mostly unenforceable in most parts of the world.
Jordan Russell
Guys, how about posting some arguments in order to have a good discussion instead of posting reddit tier memes?

How do i change default apache folder for website on arch? I dont want it to be /srv/http/ i changed httpd.conf files from /srv/http/ to what i want but server crashes
Kayden Hall
>I dont want it to be /srv/http/ Why?
Make sure you have the correct permissions
Anthony Cruz
Are there any CD ripping programs which are equivalent in quality to EAC for Linux?
Samuel Allen
this. I have stolen GPL code multiple times and I really don't give a fuck
Jaxson Gutierrez
So I'm fucking around with 3x3tb drives and mdadm.
Do I really have to let this shit re-sync every time I change some parameters? I just wan't to do slap it together, benchmark, change some parameters and benchmark again etc.
William Powell
Thanks but I'm afraid the answer to q1 is too hard for me.
Christian Hall
Sure you did
Jordan Green
Daily reminder why the GPL is a gift from god.
Jack Martin
Seems like you messed up.
Jeremiah Ortiz
Yeah, that's so hard to do when that "license" is literally worthless in most countries. You could post some of your GPL code here which I will make proprietary. And there is nothing you could do about it. Go ahead, you won't though because you know that it can't protect your code.
Evan Thomas
whoops nice meme
Hudson Cruz
You'd have to distribute that code first.
Parker Williams
You can download a fedora live USB, which you can then use to install onto your computer
Michael Adams
the point of licenses is that they don't give a fuck about the copyright laws in your country faggot
Ayden Campbell
Go ahead, post some of your code here and it will become proprietary within a matter of minutes. I will literally steal it. Oh yeah, I will. How exactly will that stop me from stealing your code and making it proprietary?
Matthew Lee
>copyright laws You do realize copyrights were created PRECISELY to help corporations, right?
Judges WILL interpret the laws and licenses in the way that favours corporations the most.
Aiden Rogers
Thanks for the help dudes!
Austin Taylor
Good thing I don't even have to be a corporation to simply steal GPL code. There's nothing you and your pathetic "license" can do about it.
Gavin Taylor
Nobody cares.
I don't open-source anything. Open-sourcing is by nature getting cucked. Whether you wanna take the whole dick in (BSD) or just the tip (GPL), you're still getting cucked.
David Butler
What's the OpenBSD of Linux distros?
Nathan Kelly
copyright is cancer anyway and should be removed it was invented to benefit the public, but nowadays it's only used to criminalize friendly memebers of the society
Charles Cruz
probably gentoo
Hudson Bennett
GUN/Linux*
Ryan Morris
I already installed BSD. Your trolling won't make me hate it more.
>Open-sourcing is by nature getting cucked. Whether you wanna take the whole dick in (BSD) or just the tip (GPL), you're still getting cucked. Pretty much.

i have separate partitions for my files and system and i want to create website for movies. I have about 1tb, i cant move 1tb movie in /srv/http i hope you get what im trying to say like, im building home cimena website which can be used from all devices connected to my network
Lincoln Collins
I'm one of the devs.
Jacob Phillips
what is the memest meme distro everone laughs about?
Gavin Hughes
I too would recommend Fedora, it is quite fantastic
Jaxson Cooper
Via http? Well, if you want.
Your Apache user still probably needs to own all that shit
Lincoln Hughes
Ubuntu on Windows 10
Jaxson Bennett
sjwbian, sjwarch
Robert Watson
Linux Mint or Arch Linux. Dunno which is more cringe worthy.
Bentley Gomez
literally gentoo
back in the days it was Sup Forums jargon meaning 'lurk moar', but then reddit came along and took the 'install gentoo' advice seriously, kek
Leo Collins
arch
Josiah Anderson
The one I'm not using.
David Ross
I am building a media server and I require a suitable distribution, I am stuck between Debian and CentOS, I have experience with DNF if it even matters. I am more concerned with the quality and capabilities of the devs for Debian and CentOS, I know that Debian has a larger team but it seems that CentOS is run solely by professionals and experts in their field.
Thomas Miller
Kodi
Luke Howard
lol, i wasn't thinking about that, ez solution file:///home/user/Downloads/Nocturnal.Animals.2016.HC.HDRip.XViD.AC3-ETRG
Ryan Gray
For such irrelevant solution I'd go for debian simply because it has a helluvalot larger repository. Debian has a newer kernel version than CentOS so expect better hardware support as well.
RHEL/Centos doesn't come with many media features because it's not it's purpose. And since RHEL/CentOS is based on Fedora it won't have patented codecs such as mp3 codecs, so you may find yourself having to compile shit.
Let's be frank buddy, you hardly need a mission critical system for a media server, don't you?
Feel free to ask.
Mason Howard
centos, fedora, rhel is for tippers and wannabes
Colton Hall
my connection keeps disconnecting. pls.
Lincoln Allen
Thank you for the response, I will go with Debian.
To answer your final question, no not at all, simply a media server. It is just things like that which grate at me occasionally, likely due to my lack of knowledge on the topic.
William Thomas
there is some option, something power management, i think that should be off go iwconfig and check
Mason Hernandez
Fun fact, the parent preventing Fedora from shopping with MP3 expired in 2016
Luke Rodriguez
Well that's good to know but the current verison of centos is still F19.
Joseph Harris
Fedora is better than Debian for desktops and workstations, Debian is better than CentOS for servers.
Kayden Fisher
I manually updated the kernel on my lts distro from 4.4 to 4.9 Is it potentially bad? So far it works well.
William Collins
What options do I have to get basic voice control in GNU/Linux?
Julian Cooper
Looking into Fedora now. Will this include grub so I can dual boot? I promise I'm not actually retarded
Elijah Sullivan
Not that guy but yes, the Fedora installer (Anaconda) comes with everything you will need for installation. I personally recommend the Net-Installation media, as I prefer XFCE as my DE over GNOME and the Net-Install allows me to select that
Oliver Miller
why are people hating red hat?
Juan Mitchell
Pretty new to Linux, been trying to use mopidy on Xubuntu running as a service, problem is that it can't access my music.
The music exists in "/media/name/Media/Audio/Music", the directory is owned by my user (it does have rwx for everyone though), but I can't chown it to user mopidy. Is there any way to allow mopidy to read these files?
My uneducated guess is it has to do with the drive being mounted by my user, but how do I solve that then?
The only error I receive is "Local media dir /media/name/Media/Audio/Music does not exist." Presumably because it can't read it.
you can select an alternative "spin" of fedora so you can get boot media that runs fedora with xfce, mate, cinnamon, or a couple others, in addition to boot media that installs GNOME 3 so you can get an xfce spin that doesn't bloat you up with other DEs
