Its as easy as some games in a package I'm downloading and my antivirus is complaining about some of the files, though I am pretty sure there are no actual viruses but I still intend to remove all the files my antivirus is complaining about just to be sure. The pack is 212gb and only a few of the games are getting complaints. My torrent client gets an error whenever my antivirus removes a "threat" and stops downloading so I have temporarily added the destination folder to the exception list in the antivirus while its downloading. I was just wondering if this is safe.

Is there a way to vector an icon like 4chan's?
e.g. have only the 4 pedals with transparent-background.png
>>42986089
No, they're not being executed.
A lot of times the AV is being tricked. The file is not downloaded sequentially with bittorrent.
In short, the new data is mixed with old data "deleted" from your hard drive. The antivirus software assumes it's complete and correct (and this can make a perfectly legitimate file look like a virus). It's basically being tricked.
Do not trust it's decision until the file is FULLY downloaded. Also, virustotal.com

have you tried a system restore?
>>42986273
Some might. Rule of thumb is that if the virus found is "generic [random shit]", then it's probably not a virus. If it says "packer"...note that it usually means that it's not familiar with that exe packer (upx is an example of one that is well known).

Thanks, that's good news I guess. It's almost 6 years old. That would explain why when I shut the machine down, the monitor abruptly stops with a raw horizontal white line somewhere in the middle. This never happened to me under Windows however, both Win7 and Vista, only loonix.
Is there a way to make linux not turn on and off twice? When I hit the power button, the diodes turn on for a second, the fan whirrs up for a bit and then it shuts down, no backlight, no BIOS, nothing. After 4-5 seconds it starts to boot up normally. Something similar is when I shut down. When it's exiting the DE/WM the monitor shuts off, only to light up again with sort of a frozen screenshot of the last moment of X before issuing the shutdown command. Is this common? So far I've tried only two distros - Mint and Manjaro, and it's the same with both of them.
when I torrent, all my bandwidth goes through there and I can't get internet on my comp or any other device.
I still can't when I set bandwidth caps.
and it persists after I've finished, and no longer am down or up loading. and shut down the program.
resetting the router cures this.

> When I hit the power button, the diodes turn on for a second, the fan whirrs up for a bit and then it shuts down, no backlight, no BIOS, nothing. After 4-5 seconds it starts to boot up normally.
...diodes...most call them LED's. Though both are technically correct :)
My desktop does that. Though it's only when the power has been cut completely (power outage, or power supply hard switch was flipped).
I don't know at all. ACPI docs might help.

>>42986975
uh...Check your hard drive, and the connections.
If it's a newer processor you can try using the power manager and setting the max processor speed to 99% (with a processor that supports turbo boost 100% turns on turbo boost, at 99% it's just the max without turbo boost). My laptop would randomly shut off due to turbo boost. Install and watch Speedfan.
If it's the latter, then cleaning and reapplying good thermal paste may help.

i'll bite. if you're still here...
A window manager, as the name implies, manages the windows of your open programs. It may have a few options & configs, but most are very basic, therefore very lightweight.
A DE will include a window manager, but also includes software to handle basic, typical tasks. For example, a DE will usually have an office suite (typically Libre Office), a browser, file manager, music & video player, text editor, programs to manage network & wifi, and little things like keyboard shortcuts (using things like brightness/volume shortcuts on a laptop, for example) in short, what you expect a modern desktop system to have.
WM's don't include any of that. So typically on most lighter distros, you have to add all of that stuff manually. And in a lot of cases you'll have to install your own network manager, wifi especially can be a bitch, and if you don't have another working computer nearby you might be fucked.

i have read that i shouldnt be defragging my SSD because its unnecessary and will most likely shorten the life of the SSD, but is there something else i can do to help it run a little bit more efficiently like defragging does for HDDs?
>>42987686
No-one knows?
>>42988215
I should've added a picture
>>42988234
google "TRIM command"
if the motherboard says this but the ram stick is DDR3-2133
does it matter in speed or will it run at 2133 ?
>>42988235

>>42988234
run a benchmark and compare with other owners of the same model. you may be missing things like TRIM, AHCI, or SATAIII
>>42988259
It will automatically underclock to an appropriate speed.
>>42988262
Are you trolling or were you born that fucking retarded? I need to upgrade to 14.04 and there are no repositories for it forcing me to use the tarballs and their instructions mention using cmake but don't show really any clear instruction on compiling their tarballs with cmake.
>>42988277
so should i get an appropriate motherboard that supports that speed?
>>42988299
Maybe you should google how to install compile from a tarball with cmake, faggot.
>>42988305
It's up to you, I've never been one to care a whole lot about RAM clock speed.
>>42988277
or is there no speed difference between 1600 and 2133
>>42987482
Is this it?

guys being a dick, not really surprising that hes not getting help
>>42988396
No you weren't trying to help, you were just being a dumb ass and posting a link without even reading that anon's post. Anon obviously stated
>How the fuck do I configured Trinity Desktop Environment's tarballs using cmake in Kubuntu 14.04?
So on 4chanX, how can I style these hover elements? I can't figure out how to select them in "Inspect Element" so I could figure out what CSS selectors to use.
In this case I'm looking to style that orange border and the white border on the quote hovering and highlighting.
When will I ever feel like I know what I'm doing?
Last semester in BS MIS program, A+/MCP/CCNA, 5 years general technician experience. Currently "IT Director" at a medical company and I don't know how to do 90% of the things I should (set up AD, VPN, etc). I end up outsourcing projects to other consultants and can't get anything done due to nurses constantly bothering me to do menial tasks like set up printers or email accounts on their phone.
>>42988421
So he's a dick cause he seems a little frustrated and some one acted like a moron posting a link with no correlation to his question? Exactly how does that work?

Anyone have any experience with webscraping.
Right now when I wget a webpage I want I am having problems with security certificates. Also any guides on what I want to be using to write a webscraper in C/C++.
I have never written a code that does anything over the internet so this is babby steps.
>>42986940
if you have a nexus device Franco kernel will fix that. Although you'll have to be on some other ROM that's not cyanogen.

From what I can tell from android land, the apple app store has better games. Play some. Or Emulate some. Use it to learn a language, or read a book. A portable video player. Hook it up to a tv if you can and use it as a media center of sorts. Or...use it for music.

Half the videos on YouTube are coming up as errors. I looked this up, and the only relevant result mentioned something about Frontier FIOS, and switching a DNS to Jewgle's to solve the problem.
Now, Frontier isn't my ISP, so does anyone know what's going on? And does anyone else smell a rat, seeing as how YouTube is owned by Google?
>>42989420
don't be a fag, clear your DNS cache
if that doesn't work, switch to google dns, shit's free
>>42989478
>if that doesn't work, switch to google dns
>>42989532
What exactly is wrong with Google's DNS?
>>42989573
>>42989573
Google obviously logs the pages you visit, in order to do targeted advertising and to give data to the NSA.
>>42989584
>>42989585
What DNS service do you use that doesn't do that already though?

Here's the problem. I want good temps but it needs to be quiet too.
You'd think "just put AF140 fans everywhere besides the CPU Cooler" but some people say smaller fans aren't nosier (forgot why, think it was something like they can spin at lower rpms while still getting good temps or something)
and 'apparently' you 'need' fans with high static pressure if you want to pass air through the dust filters and mash grills and onto the components.
and how does my push/pull config look?
>>42989811
it's the larger fans that are quieter because they can be used at lower RPMs while still maintaining a decent flow rate
configuration looks fine, though corsair is fucking expensive
I have two monitors, a Dell and an LG. They are in my bedroom, and so they need to be turned off when I sleep. Unfortunately, the LG uses capacitive buttons and the magnets in the speaker next to them seem to cause them to go haywire when I try to use them. If I don't try to use them it's not a problem, but whenever I touch one of them they start to press themselves randomly until I move my speakers. So, I need to turn my monitor off from the command line. In my old apartment I usedxset s activateand it would turn the LG off, but the Dell would show the "check inputs" message instead of going into power saving mode. Not a problem, since the buttons work on that one. In my new apartment, though, the monitors have been switched around left to right, and now the Dell goes into power saving mode and the LG shows the "check inputs" message. So, I have to move my speakers off of my desk every morning before I turn my monitor on. I may look into shielding the speakers somehow, but for now my question is this: How can I put multiple monitors into standby/power saving mode from the command line?
