I did not touch advanced partition tool whatever it was called. It was chosen by the installer.
>on't do anything which will fuck you up. Like what? Only thing I did was to connect the installer to my wi-fi, then just click install, set my user name and password.
I did not even open advanced partition tool.
But this is besides the point that why is there an options menu if you can't even do anything with it.
Easton Roberts
Ubuntu is the best desktop distro. prove me wrong
Cooper Jackson
Yeah if only this allowed me to use the option menu to make me able to write on drives.
How hard it is to have such option
Cameron Powell
>doesn't have pacman or portage >Amazon shitware Get mint The only pro is that it's easy to install

HOW CAN THIS BE SO FUCKING HARD WHAT THE FUCKING DOG SHIT ARE THESE DEVS THINKING
FUCKING PIECE OF CHINA SHIT

ITS BASIC FUCKING FUNCTION ADD A BASIC FUCKING OPTION THAT DOES IT OR AT LEAST FUCKING FAQ ON YOUR PAGE WITH 100% SUCCESS RATE GUIDE
Carter Edwards
I remember a tool i used for this problem. You can't write or do something on a ntfs right? Try >apt-get install ntfs-config You don't need any knowledge to use it, it's simple.

Some disk's firmware set a read-only mode when the disk is damaged. so: 1) test the disk on another system 2) post the output of smartctl: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb 3) also post the output: dmesg | grep -i sdb 4) _unmount_ the disk and run a fsck: sudo fsck -f /dev/sdb
Sebastian Mitchell
it fucking
the installer itself i did not touch shit
installed itself as ext2
and know whines it cant find ext4
my fucking sides
Grayson Jenkins
that's the joke

I just installed Arch Linux from antergos after using mint for the last two years.
The problem I have is that firefox doesnt seem to display any fonts of its menus including bookmarks, the address bar, the right click menu etc.
Chromium works perfectly fine and I use it to currently post in this thread.
I already reinstalled firefox and tried without importing my profile and used both the refresh and start with addons disabled options from the troubleshooting page since those are the only parts of the page I can use but that had no efffect whatsoever.

how would this problem even be called so I can search for it?
Kevin Perez
>be a fuckup >flood shitpost with pepe and emojis please no
Owen Robinson
Ubuntufags will never learn
Logan Garcia
you forgot to install some font, also you can run firefox from the terminal and check for errors
Nicholas James
I haven't followed the discussion. Would you mind posting a summary?
> What disk are we talking about here? > How is the disk mounted? > If it's in /etc/fstab can you copypaste the line from there here? > What type of drive is it? > Which user "owns" the drive, and what permissions are set on it?
Especially that last one. If it's set up to be owned by McFuckyourface, and to be written to by noone, then guess what, either you're McFuckyourface or you're not writing. (Or you're root.)
The last one is easy as shit to test though. Just start nautilus as root, mount it, and see if you can write. If that is the case, then your user doesn't have access to it.
Daniel Nguyen
it was the. installer that automatically chose ext2 not ne

Here:
Kayden Lee
it's a ext2 partition not ntfs
Gavin Hughes
Hello all, I'm making a distro and want some ideas so I'm asking you guys, how would you want the distro to be? What should it be based on? What de/wm should it have?
Tyler Perry
I used the install function from the software manager to install it I never gave me any option about what fonts to install just install or remove.
How do I check for errors in the terminal?
Owen Robinson
Ha! Sorry i thought you were the other guy. But you can't delete the ext2? There is something in?
Zachary Taylor
>how would you want the distro to be? flexible, simple, safe and fully customizable.
>What should it be based on? gentoo with a real package manager (maybe let the user decide)
>What de/wm should it have? let the user choose his favorite's at install time
Charles Clark
>I used the install function from the software manager to install it I never gave me any option about what fonts to install just install or remove. it is implied that you should install some fonts after the system installation: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_recommendations#Fonts >You may wish to install a set of TrueType fonts, as only unscalable bitmap fonts are included in a basic Arch system
>How do I check for errors in the terminal? >open terminal >run "firefox" >see if it output something interesting
Carter Harris
>gentoo with a real package manager What exactly do you mean with "real" package manager?
Ian Bell
I didn't mean to imply portage in not good. I mean a package manager that get archives with precompiled stuff from the repo.
Alexander Gomez
Why aren't you using Manjaro?
Ayden Rodriguez
y0, just passing by to tell you that I'm on Arch, kk thx bye
Colton Parker
I bet you don't. Honestly this kind of shitposting in an interesting phenomenon. I suppose it somewhat like when people get paid to misbehave and cause turmoil at manifestations and so, but for the fun of shiposting/trolling instead of getting money.
Carter Gonzalez
>rolling release
Dominic Williams
Like the jews who post black guys on white girls in Sup Forums?
Brandon Wood
Oh I see, so basically gentoo but without all the compiling
David Wright
should I install Arch or Gentoo?
Leo Martin
first Arch, then Gentoo after you learn eveything there is to know about Arch
Jack Cox
Whats the point in increasing the autism level of your distro?
Lincoln Ortiz
e-peen
Andrew Reyes
>increasing the autism level you mean gaining knowledge and experience
Jayden Allen
You can learn how your system works on every distro.
Aaron Diaz
I assume you have no idea what to do next? Thanks for your time bro.
Cooper Brown
if you need to learn in order to make your system usable, you'll learn much faster there's hardly any incentive for you to learn anything by using ubuntu or fedora
Jonathan Lopez
No, you can't
Joseph Perry
keep telling yourself that >implying red hat emplyed people don't know how their system works because they don't run arch
Lincoln Wright
kek >arch doesn't teach you anything anyway, people copy paste the commands from the wiki to create a filesystem etc, install a DE and that's it
Lucas Rivera
The point of Arch is that it's made to break every other day. By fixing it, you gain knowledge.
Nathan Howard
Nice try Lenny, you almost got me
Brandon Thomas
if you learn everything there is to know about Arch, you can use that to bully Arch plebs and make the difference in your power level clear because you would know more about Arch than they do (while using a superior distro yourself) and you would have concrete material to support your claims of Arch being a shitty pleb tier distro in relation to the superior distro that you're using
Henry Fisher
Interesting POV.
Grayson Gomez
Why would I want Arch with older packages?
Mason King
nice meme
Brandon Foster
>tfw you're a superior Arch user while not even using Arch yourself Arch plebs would go apeshit
Luis Diaz
manhuaro is not arch, it is different in that it has a program that automates installing drivers for you
Nathaniel Jackson
manjaro's packages are the same as the arch ones, prove me wrong.
John Edwards
there's one additional packagem, see
Gavin Murphy
Manjaro has an additional repo for their stuff.
Also, Manjaro doesn't have old packages. It works the same way like on other distros for example Debian: Manjaro has a stable, testing and unstable branche, whereas unstable is as fresh as Arch, stable is older, since only stuff that works goes in there.
Logan Davis
I may have expressed myself the wrong way, manjaro is not arch, manjaro is an arch wannabe for people who want to install arch but are too stupid to copy some commands.
>one aditional package >but all the others are the same, just some weeks behind >tottally not a poor copy
Noah Gomez
>I need to be superior to other people by using superor operating systems because that's the only way I'll feel like I'm worth something.
Angel Carter
You should give Manjaro a spin. Get the bspwm edition.
Jaxson Allen
so arch with one aditional repo?
Josiah Evans
I was being sarcastic

No, Arch made usable and with breakage removed. >wannabe Your penis woun't grow by having useless additional work by running plain Arch.
Robert Wilson
why don't you read the shit the other user just posted faggot
Kayden Ramirez
Ok, I get it, arch for people who can't copy commands from the wiki, gotcha.
Jayden Morales
Is there a wannabe Gentoo distro?
Samuel Green
I did, hence my answer.
Dylan Johnson
I managed to find the problem by downloading a font and siye changer addon. Turns out the default font size was set to 0. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea.
Thank you for your help though.
Noah Gomez
funtoo?
Adam Gomez
thought funtoo is the gentoo successor
Luis Ortiz
Calculate?
Jose Flores
Let's find out the truth once and for all. What distro are you using, /fglt/? strawpoll.me/12193840
Ian Sanchez
This is how the autoamted install installed the partitions. I did not touch advanced partition tools. After I reboot, it says ext4 not found and goes to emergency mode.
Benjamin Harris
a) >strawpoll you must be very new if you don't know what Sup Forums does to strawpoll b) >other >not listing all distros gtfo
Nathaniel Stewart
>you must be very new if you don't know what Sup Forums does to strawpoll what can you do besides vote from a different IP
Liam Garcia
Forgot my question, HOW should they properly look when the automated installation clearly spergs the installation and fails to boot after I shut down and turn on the PC
Michael Torres
just finished installing arch linux. how's the program called that shows the arch logo in the terminal?
Oliver Rogers
And here is how the partitions look when viewed from the installer itself.
Dominic James
DUDE FREEDUMBS LMAO :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
Justin Parker
neofetch or screenfetch Choose one
David Sanders
forgot to add: I'm on arch (if it matters)
Noah Turner
Can't you just delete it? And then do it manually instead of automaticly?
Angel Mitchell
>500 Mb ext2 partition >250 GB"unknown partition wut? did you try to install ubuntu in a 500 mb ext2 partition?
Now my question is, will this again fail to find ext4 filesystem when I reboot, and where do I go wrong
The guide lists these
/boot should be 100 – 500 MiB /var and /tmp should be > 5 GiB
as optional, but should i make them and with what settings
Caleb Johnson
Again. I chose from the installer, erase everything and pressed install. It was done by the installer itself / the partitioning.
This is the partitioning I did with the help of the askubuntu guide, but there\s some weird 1mb free space I cant delete, and as I understand that EFI partition is necessary for UEFI bios / the installer will not proceed to install if i remove the efi and dont include it
Julian Collins
Because if I wanted to be use an arch spin-off, I'd use antergos, which uses the official repos. Manjaro was buggy for me, and I'd been using arch problem free for 3 years. They manage to patch bugs INTO packages.
Michael Davis
Why does running shit with optirun and primusrun make my laptop go Chernobyl?
William Garcia
Now it seems ok. >will this again fail to find ext4 filesystem when I reboot, and where do I go wrong No, or there is a serious problem.
Jace Sanchez
>They manage to patch bugs INTO packages. kek
Camden Foster
is optipng okay or is there something better?
Carson Butler
I have selected Turn Off Secure Boot so I can download third party drivers. Is there any chance that it might be causing this failure.
I had Windows 10 before this, Enterprise version, and there was no problems, the HDD was perfectly fine checked with Samsungs own program. So I doubt it is HDDs fault.
I will proceed to install, again, I suppose.
Josiah Martinez
you mean hot? a lot of laptops struggle when you are using the dedicated gpu
Benjamin Brown
A report, when I press INSTALL NOW, I get almost immediately a mention of web-kit process failing
Easton Lewis

Brody Cook
I'm very confused about the GNU/Linux naming thing. Very, very, confused. So I have some questions to be able to understad it. If you can help me I'll really apreciate that. 1- Is linux just a kernel or also a OS? 2- Can a SO use the linux kernel without the GNU software? 3- Is there any SO like that? 4- Do software that work on GNU/Linux distros, work in a OS with linux kernel but wihout the GNU part? 5- Do software that work on GNU/Hurd distros, work in GNU/Linux distros and vice versa? 6- Does GNU/Hurd and/or the non GNU OS with linux kernel use the same commands in the terminal? 7- Do GNU/Hurd and/or the non GNU OS with linux kernel use the same commands in the terminal that GNU/Linux? 8- Do GNU/Hurd and/or the non GNU OS with linux kernel have the same file tree ash GNU/Linux (I mean that of /home/user/.. etc)? I don't know if the questions are stupid, and if they're I'm sorry for that. I've not computer knowlegde and I'm starting to use Linux for a master's degree in bioinformatics, and I'm very confused about this. Thank you a lot.
