What VNC server do people use? Tightvncserver has a retarded and awkward configuration All I want to do is to remote control my machine with my Android using bvnc (over ssh) Couple of people in the last thread recommended x2go (NX-based) and TigerVNC but I was wondering if there was something better.

I just know it's going to break again and I have no idea what fixed it. I don't think I can fap my way out every time either.

smb was always bonkers on linux.
Henry Peterson
I realise it's a windows system but still. One win10 I could navigate directly to a folder, on the share and play a movie or whatever no problems. No login either.
On linux I needed to login "it was user user for the username adn password but windows never needed it) and it would always crash if I tried to stream, I had ot copy files onto my computer and then play them. idk. I have it all working now so I can stream at least.

hlep
Nathan King
>I had ot copy files onto my computer and then play them you were probably missing some packages. applications like media players, editors etc are not network aware. you need some vfs plugins
Jackson Hall
s/ftp you faggot, and next time someone deletes their answer while I'm answering it, they can go fuck themselves
Nathan Gonzalez
use a hotspot
Liam Moore
calm down, you're T R I G G E R E D
Cameron Reed
Thanks user. Not gonna bother answering any more questions on /fglt/ again. You reminded me never to help cunts on the internet as not only is there nothing in it, you get insulted for trying to help. So in future, go fuck yourself and cry when you run out of pajeets who don't know the answer to your simple retarded questions about Linux. I'm so done with this place.
Jayden Mitchell
are there any shells superior to zsh and fish in terms of features and functionality
Owen Campbell
leave already, you were worthless to begin with.
Dominic Adams
Same issue with Hotspot function.
Daniel Reyes
Pretty soon /fglt/ will be full of >why isn't anyone answering >fuck this place >where is the nearest street i can shit on
O I will laff when that happens
Leo Davis
unlikely. since you have answered anything worthwhile .
Isaac Hughes
are you sure you're comparing 8mB/s to 700kB/s and not 8mb/s to 700KB/s?
cause 8mB/s is roughly 1000kB/s
Dominic Flores
I haven't used the word butthurt in a long time but you are seriously butthurt my friend. No one even tried to purposely hurt your butt either which is fantastic.
Owen Morales
I actually noticed that yesterday. Sup Forums seems to be empty.
I bet the kids are all on school at this time of the year.
Brody Diaz
I actually did, I pointed this faggot/you to sftp, which is more than trash like you deserve. But next time I will simply be chuckling to myself and not bother to share the answer with worthless niggers.
Adam Johnson
yaas
Adam Brown
is it possible to have man completion in bash? so that when I type man somet and press tab, I get man something
David Hughes

Julian Scott

Lucas Johnson
Ahahaaha
This pajeet is still looking for the answer. No one help this ungrateful retard please.
you pajeets are both equally retarded and need some nukes from your friends in pakistan
Isaiah Moore
What's wrong with that? the answer is still valid.
Luis Bailey
I have 100 Mbps connection that roughly translates to 12.5 MB/S (which is the speed I can get from Speedtest.net)
Now it just shits itself if its stressed at all by more than 1 program.
Mason Hernandez
Already said I wouldn't help any more so I'm not gonna point out what's retarded about it. Someone who is more able to tolerate pajeets might though.
Jace Cook
thanks, but I came across that thread already, didn't find it very helpful I'm loking for a way to do this that won't take away too much of my time
Logan Ross
Report a bug on Launchpad
Logan Nguyen

Kevin Fisher
KYS this is a FRIENDLY THREAD YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS GET OVER TO FUCKING /SQT/ IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHIT UP OUR LEGITIMATE DISCUSSION IF YOU CAN'T ACTIVATE A STUPID SHELL FEATURE, OR TOO AUTISTIC TO NOT GIVE HIM (YOU)'S
Robert Bennett

Connor Kelly

Jose Hughes

Isaac Ortiz
rms is a communist?
Evan King
Meh, this seems to happen with actual modem too. What the fuck gives..
Lucas Anderson
that thread is really old, I don't even have an /etc/bash_completion.d/ directory on my system, and I really don't have the time to write my own functions, I was just looking for a simple way to do this, if there even is one
Ryan Rodriguez
can anyone who hasn't read comrade Marx's works really be acknowledged as a communist?
Now that the /fglt/ wars are over (for now), can someone answer this please
Jeremiah Allen
might as well be, which is why we need a Sup Forums communists general
Nathaniel Johnson
okay, apparently I just needed bash-completion package installed didn't think it was that easy sorry for causing trouble
Nathan Powell
>the current state of these threads very troubling
Jackson Russell
what the fuck is that?
Samuel Jenkins
Today is the day I replace Arch Linux with Gentoo. I've done quite a bit of research, but I'd like to ask some questions. What are some things I should know before installing? What are some things you wish you did differently?
Julian Evans
youre going to need a lot of time that's all
Lucas Long
fug genkernel manual config stronk
Luis Williams
pls notice me amid the shitposts ;_;
Hudson Roberts
I have hard time between choosing a distro for my mom's computer (since I don't have any spare windows key's)
What do you guys recommend? Keep in my that my mom has not used any linux distro in her entire life Should I just go with linux mint and call it day or install minimal ubuntu with windows 7 type interface?
Brayden Sanchez
fedora
Liam Ramirez
This internet issue is so annoying.
Joseph Bailey
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't fedora come with Gnome DE preinstalled?
Juan Foster
/blog
Jonathan Thomas
how do I restart X?
Juan Edwards
I dunno I use only ArchLinux and OpenBSD.
Josiah Miller
Okay. From what I have heard, fedora and openSuse should be pretty gud on user friendliness.
Zachary Diaz
Hi. It's me. The guy who answers all the questions in these threads. Nothing but inane comments so far. Back later.
Brody Gomez
I asked on one of these threads a few days ago a good way to learn Linux, and someone directed me to this free book: linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php/
to newbies: check that shit out, it's very helpful.
to the guy who recommended that: thank you so much
Jaxon Gray
sorry, GNU/Linux
Lucas Kelly
>tfw a pajeet and an autistic get pissed at me for telling them to cut their shut and they try to get me banned What fucking autists we have in the Linux community
Henry Rogers
So, what's a lightweight, yet full featured Web browser that works with vim-like keyboard controls? Surf is doesn't want to emerge because of fucking webkit
Ethan Lewis
links
Samuel Powell
Better than links thougj. Hence I said full featured, or at least able to display pictures Not w3m though
Dominic Ramirez
>unset does variable expansion inside single quotes BRAVO BASH
Christian Brooks
midori should be better then. its size is around 5.3MB
Jayden Brown
What music player do you guys use? There are so many to choose from. With Windows it was easy - just pick Foobar.
I've tried Clementine and Amarok now, but they feel bit clunky
Henry Powell
>he uses a separate music player and web browser >he doesn't have Nightingale
Lincoln Richardson
Midori uses webkit though. Currently trying to install that causes my cpu to go crazy and try melting
Daniel Harris
Nightingale looks like abandoned porject.
Nicholas Foster
[spoiler]it is ;_;[/spoiler]
Noah Turner
I have a GTX 970 video card and I'm trying to run Mint Cinnamon on VirtualBox, but it starts in software rendering mode and when I install drivers from PPA (I've tried different versions, in theory they should work) after restarting the machine xorg shits itself and I have to uninstall the drivers from the terminal and reboot to have the DE working again (in software mode). Wat do?
Christian Wood
>lightweight >fully featured >with vim-like keyboard options >doesn't use webkit The most lightweight browsers out there are links and dillo. They can both display pictures but aren't fully featured and they don't support vim-like keyboard controls.
Next in the line are Dwb and Uzbl which are fully featured and support vim keybindings but they aren't minimal and they are based on webkit.
Lastly you can give up and use Firefox and Chromium with vimfx and cvim respectively for vim capability.
Elijah Bailey
man, most music players look like dead abandoned projects. Deadbeef seems to be updated but last time was 8 months ago
Henry Smith
gmusicbrowser if you just want simple and intuitive GUI and ease of setup for using ALSA output. Maybe a little bit buggy on graphics, like the corrupted playback control buttons, but it doesn't matter. If you mind the buggy graphics, and/or want a Foobar2000 counterpart on Linux, then DeadBeef. It also allows easy setup to use ALSA.
Michael Ross
You mean here on Sup Forums?
Isaiah White
Is the joke that the Gnu is eating something from its foot? If so, kudos to you, clever sir. Kudos.
Jose Moore
cmus because I'm too retarded to figure out mpd+ncmpcpp.
Gavin Hall
How about JRiver or HQplayer?
Isaac Hill
What's there to figure out?
Ryder Allen
Yeah, I'm starting to realize that my options are either a.) Really ducking lightweight but can't display a webpage post 1999 b.) Webkit based browsers that are fast light, but won't install c.) Fucking Firefox in all its bloated glory
Luke Sanchez
Quite a bit, actually. You should look into it for yourself.
Andrew Watson
I'm too stupid to figure out why I would need mpd.
Brody Jenkins
How do I make portage ignore MAKEOPTS for a specific package?
