Maybe it's a driver issue but it's not taking advantage of the full 1000 duplex connection the mobo has.

ethtool apparently can set rate advertisments

ethtool seems to confirm to me that is is not advertising the 1000baseT connection. How do I get it to?

The hyperthreading issues on intel CPUs makes me want to install the microcode to fix it, but I'm kind of worried. Could intel-ucode contain a botnet/spyware/backdoor? It seems so small that it couldn't.
Hunter Kelly
Intel CPUs are backdoored already.

I'm looking for a good small os to put on an old laptop that ran XP, just for fucking around with, its not my main computer. I've been using puppy linux just for fun but I want something I can boot from the hard drive and trying to install puppy linux to the hard drive is really fucking annoying.
Ethan Cox
Install Debian.

Hmm, apparently mii-tool is similar to ethtool and your nic is in mii mode. mii-tool --media=1000baseTx-FD devname Other than that I dunno, check you cable and card? And dmesg.

got it working with ethtool, had to go and configure it in person and set the interface to "up" after seeing it and its back at 100 mb/s speeds
how can i set it to do this automatically a boot? weird that t enables everything but the gbit speed
Isaiah Evans
I don't into arch or sysd but maybe there is an rc.local equiv still?
rc.local normally runs after init has done its thing with bringing up networking etc so depending on whether renegotiating looses your ip settings in addition to setting the interface down you might have to re-run the networking setup.

Computer Engineering. I'm looking at JTAG stuff at the moment from here elinux.org/JTAG
But they seem old as fuck and most of the links for the hardware are 404s
I think I should have asked this in /diy/ohm because they probably have more info, but I guess I'll ask here since they may be using other operating systems.

I've been out of the indstry for too long. All that I remember is avrdude from programing AVR MCUs and that there were a bunch of open source (hardware and software) fpga based logic analysers and oscilliscopes coming out at the time.

Where can I go for help with Arch linux?
I have been using linux for about a year now without many issues but I wanted expand my knowelge of linux and start customizing my OS. I fell in love with i3 but it seemed to be having some issues with MATE. I switched from MATE to Arch because from what I understand it doesn't like you messing around with different wm and ect...
Arch having no perinstalled bloat was also nice. However I never anticipated a community as obnoxious as the Arch fourms. Their solution to any problem is to link a page on the wiki and if you don't understand or see your problem than fuck off. The wiki is great if you're already familiar with linux/understand the what is causing your issue and just need some help troubleshooting a problem. But fuck is it useless if you don't understand what the problem is. Sorry for a short rant but I don't know how people put up with such pretentious twats.
Anyway, incase this is the place to ask for help. I installed Arch with Arch-Anywhere because I am under the the impression that the installer has issues with gtx 10 series cards. When making my partitions I think I might have replaced the Windows 7 bootloader with GRUB and that is the main cause of my issue. However I can't be sure and I don't know how to check. Any advice besides linking the GRUB wiki page?

Josiah Young
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Alexander Howard
>communists >humans HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why would a bunch of people that want to enslave and kill millions be considered "human", I never understood this argument.
Communists aren't fucking people and it's not a big deal if they get murdered.
Also, it's funny we answered the question of you people being butthurt if tux had an ancap helicopter flag.

Does anyone know how to deal with overheating on a laptop? I have already tried setting up TLP, thermald and Bumblebee but it still reaches temperatures around 70-80°C just using Firefox.
Brody Taylor
>muh logic Capitalism goes against logic. It's a lack of understanding of a basic fact: money can't procreate. If you put two coins together, they won't reproduce. But that's the logic behind the entire system. On capitalism, money is the wealth generator. On socialism, labour is.
Capitalism isn't about "free markets" either. That's a fallacy. You can have free markets in socialist economies. Some of the top countries on the Liberty index are socialist.
I recommend you watch the following videos in order to inform yourself and stop spouting uninformed opinions:
Read Le Livre Noir du Capitalism and you'll realize the ones wanting to enslave and genocide millions are actually the capitalists.
'Nuff said.

>Richard_Wolff HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA
Isn't he that meme commie turd that did an AMA on reddit and got completely BTFO and couldn't respond to people criticizing him?
Are you actually a marxist user? If so that would be hilarious. You people actually WANT lower living standards and more working hours. lol
>>one of the countries with the strongest labour movements in the world [1] AHAHHAHAHAHHA DUDE they have a LOWER unionism rate than my country, Canada. LMAO HOLY FUCK you are butthurt. They have one of the freest markets on earth. Also the small amount of unions they have almost never go on strike because wages are so high in free market switzerland anyway. LOL nationmaster.com/country-info/profiles/Switzerland/Labor

I just posted a source proving Switzerland has strong labour laws with lots of provisions. If it ranks on market freedom, that only goes to prove that capitalism doesn't produce freedom, but socialism does. Damn, you're dumb!
>cause economic stagnation and poverty You're confused yet again, that's capitalism. The most developed and wealthy countries in the world are socialist.
Now fuck off, Sup Forums is a socialist board.

>money can't procreate Procreate WHAT?
>they won't reproduce Reproduce what? Themselves? Why would they?
Holy fuck you people are retarded. What are you even talking about?
>On capitalism, money is the wealth generator. On socialism, labour is. This makes absolutely no sense. Wealth is generated by planning the structure of production, labour is a part of this.
Socialists have something wrong with their brains, they can't understand basic logic.
>You can have free markets in socialist economies. Only with mutualism, but I KNOW you're not a mutualist.
>Some of the top countries on the Liberty index are socialist. like who?

Alright, you fucking autistic little piece of excrement. You've had your fun. You've shit up the entire thread, you've autistically screeched at yourself and successfully baited droves of anons into attempting to actually reason with you.
Are you happy? Does your life feel like it has some fucking form of meaning now? Sitting there with your shitty Walmart-bought foldout chair quivering under your immense weight, your disgusting fat rolls hanging off the sides and exuding a disgusting odor of sweat, semen, and fungus, smearing your keyboard you got from Goodwill that's missing the Y and L keys with Cheeto dust and pubic hair that collects under your fingernails since you never wash your hands after you furiously masturbate to futashit, does it feel like your fucking life has meaning now?
Does the light coming from the cheap Acer laptop your mom bought you so you'd stop fucking whining about "missing the chan" that illuminates her basement and the ratty sleeping bag in the corner strewn with chip wrappers and empty Mountain Dew cans give your life meaning? Do you wake up every day and decide not to end your worthless, virgin, disgusting, overweight, neckbearded existence because you know you can look forward to another day of flooding threads on Sup Forums with the same amount of loathing you commonly direct at yourself every time you look in a mirror that's big enough to hold your gargantuan reflection?

>OpenSUSE >I've never used OpenSUSE nor do I know anyone who has ever done such a thing. Therefore I can't recommend it with a nice little description about it. If you have experience with it, and feel it should be included, please send in a merge request.
Don't know how to do a merge request but I can chip in with my experience with the distro. OpenSUSE is a good distro overall, it's old, stable and reliable. Leap is a nice stable release, and Tumbleweed is a good cutting edge rolling release with tested stable packages. It has a tool called YaST which is like Control Panel on Windows, on steroids. You can do all of the system administration through that thing and it's great. I mean I would always recommend the major distros for beginners and advanced users alike, there's usually no need to go too far downstream. I've been using it for a while and never had any problems with it desu.
Also have a nice creepy pape
Sebastian Cook
>I just posted a source proving Switzerland has strong labour laws Your source is useless. I read it and it shows labour laws similar to many western countries including Canada. Swiss has a LOW unionism rate compared with the rest of the world. Countless other euro countries like denmark have stronger worker laws.
HOLY FUCK you're butthurt lol
Switzerland is one of the most free market countries on EARTH and workers there have really high living standards thanks to their free market policies.
Does this ANGER you? It must.
>but socialism does AHHAHAHA Only a delusional socialist teenager would take credit for a free market country like Switzerland. If switzerland was actually socialist it would be like Venezuela or North Korea right now.
Kill all socialists.
