Will you answer the question without threats of censorship? Who pays you daily to post this thread? Is it RedHat Linux Corporation?
Jason Powell
this, you can tell for the info I post I pretty much like the platform
Dominic Young
We know that Fedora has paid coders from RedHat too. That does mean Linux does not only mean free and unpaid.
Liam Cooper
what? apropos should be "man -k"

Joshua Wilson
>We know that Fedora has paid coders from RedHat too
is that a sin? Does linux coders have to survive just by driking coffee?
Colton Campbell
OP here, I agree there is people paid for marketing campaigns in Sup Forums. I also agree RedHat may be one, along Microsoft.
Yet I don't receive a penny for this. Your tears are my only reward ;^)

I'm afraid the one I'm using doesn't work well enough for booting or my computer is clinically retarded
Liam Jackson
>or my computer is clinically retarded Shit happens. My old shitbox is extremely picky about it as well.
Try different software for making bootable USBs. I always get different results. unetbootin worked for fedora but I had to resort to a windows machine running rufus to get a debian one.
If everything fails, use a CD/DVD. They always work
Robert Ortiz
It's so difficult to find a CD with 2gbs of space, so I'll try to pick up a namebrand usb instead of the cheap surplus ones I have. If that fails, my pc just can't run linux for some reason
Jaxson Carter
sometimes the application I used was the problem, unetbootin, so I use a simple command line burning method
cp distro.iso /dev/sdX sync where "X" is the correct device letter
other problem can be the BIOS, but that is computer specific, easily solvable by changing the BIOS setup
Luis Williams
How to get rid of bottom window in emacs?
Liam Fisher
tell us how you're making the bootable usb, the problem may be in your process and not the drive. also are you just expecting it to autamagically boot from it or are you going into boot device selection and choosing it? there's several things it could be that you should check on before droping cash on another drive and finding that wasn't the problem
Jason Brooks
I've been trying to figure out a way to read .ePUB file from the command line but I'm not having any luck. I found this script but I just get "Cannot read file epub-read.css" after running it.
I'm not too knowledgeable with bash commands so if someone could help me out here, or point me to a better solution that'd be awesome.
Julian Sanchez
C-x 1. C-x o to change between frames.
If you want to put it back again do C-x 2 for horizontal split and C-x 3 for vertical split. C-x 0 removes all frames but the one youre focused on (C-x o)
Nathaniel Johnson
Create the directory emacs.d in your home directory, or enable read/write access to it. Kind of weird that emacs can't access it though.
Camden Moore
I'm using rufus and burning the .iso to my usb drive. have also tried burning it as a DD. Then when I start my computer, I press escape and go to the grub screen for the distro boot and select install. Then a few minutes into the boot screen processes, it basically crashes and stops progressing
Brody Sanders
. Have tried this with several distros, and always get the same result
Brody Butler
I deleted the Linux-swap in order to add like 50gbs to my Ubuntu partition. Since my laptop freezes up like all hell and takes forever to boot (I'm guessing it's searching for the boot file)
What can I do?
I'm thinking about clean installing because it's gotten so bad.
Nathaniel Peterson
>enable read/write access to it How do I do this? I'm not even sure where ~/.emacs.d/ would be.
Kayden Young
>~/.emacs.d/ ~ denotes your /home directory. . in front of the filename indicates the file is hidden

Nicholas Cruz
should I use tmux or screen and why
Thomas Bell
use dd (carefully). It has had incredibly high reliability for me. Be careful though as it will destroy all of your data if you specify the wrong output device. Be very sure OF= is correct.
Grayson Anderson
It might surprise you but I've tried it many times and not a single time dd succeeded in making a bootable USB that worked on my laptop.

repost from /sqt/, need some help with Apache
I'm trying to run Kareha on my ubuntu server but it's not running the .pl as a page, it just shows it as text
I'm really newbie with how things in Ubuntu function, should it not be in that folder? I've seen a lot of documentation suggesting I add .pl to a text doc somewhere but I have no idea what to nano
Benjamin Hughes
Sorry for the need of spoonfeeding, but can I show the hidden file using the gui rather than terminal? How would I enable read/write access to it?

does anyone use DeaDBeeF? i have pretty much set it up how i want, except it doesn't support $swapprefix (as far as i know) are there any plugins/work arounds? or maybe just another music player recommendation.

screen. GPL tmux BSD tmux includes most features of GNU Screen. It allows users to start a terminal session with clients that are not bound to a specific physical or virtual console; multiple terminal sessions can be created within a single terminal session and then freely rebound from one virtual console to another, and each session can have several connected clients. The features that differentiate tmux from GNU Screen are[3]
menus for interactive selection of running sessions, windows or clients window can be linked to an arbitrary number of sessions[4] vi-like or Emacs command mode (with auto completion) for managing tmux[5] lack of built-in serial and telnet clients (which some consider bloat for the terminal multiplexer)[3] easier configuration[6][7][better source needed] different command keys—it is not a drop-in replacement for screen, but can be configured to use compatible keybindings
Bentley Diaz
This is win.
Jeremiah Moore
I poked around, and found it. What should I change all the permissions to? It can be "owner", "owner and group" or "anyone".

>In 1993, he asked for birth announcements to be banned from emacs mailing list, unless they are announcements for seahorses, because then it would be the male that gives birth and therefore interesting.
wish we could meet in real life and I could walk you through it, over Sup Forums is kind of cumbersome ;/
change it to anyone if you can. but i'm afraid this won't work, since their shouldn't be any other owner on a freshly installed linux but you and root.
Try to view emacs.d in command line with `ls -lha' command the entry right:

try Arch
Blake Ortiz

Kevin White
>amazon botnet Just get arch, try archanywhere or antergos for easy installing.
I'd like to mention that the guide should has many small 'personal successes' along the way to let you stay motivated. (changing the layout, setting the time, learning hdd partitioning, change console, seeing the graphics user interface 1-2hours in). But huge caveat thought, they kind of shortened the guide it seems, I remember reading a much longer version years ago...
Anyway I only attempted it after using ubuntu rather for a year casually
Tyler Lee
Thinkpad x230 here with Ubuntu here. Touchpad just stopped working completely. What do
Jacob Nelson
architect, it guides you through install so you'll be guaranteed a working system at the end, but isn't so hand holdy that you don't learn anything. it makes a nice starting point
Liam Roberts
>should I install arch?
Do you want a broken system?
Yes: Do it. No: Don't do it.
David Nelson
ubuntu is the best for babbies first linux get arch, it teaches you about linux
since it is a thinkpad I'd try to google the issue "thinkpad x230 ubuntu touchpad not working" it may sound dumb, but the rule here is the more popular something is, the better you can troubleshoot it with google
>that fear of using pacman -Syu I kind of like ubuntu, ubuntu 10.04 that is. And by that I mean 5y ago

Arch ships with the latest stable packages from upstream. Anything else is user error

What's with the recent anti-linux shill threads on this board? There were always shill threads all the years I visited Sup Forums but this heavy anti-linux shilling is new. Are corporations getting afraid or is this just butt hurt fan boys spending their free time?

It depends, if you feel like you'll be comfortable with no gui out of the box, then go for it.
If don't then go with some *buntu, except the unity version.
