New Stupid Questions Thread
Why do I have to mount my partitions to mount when installing arch? I understand mounting glues it to the files system, but whats going on beyond that?

Can someone please explain to me why haskell has a problem with this[ do {print x; putStr "\n"} | x <- [1..10]]
it should just print the numbers 1..10 out with a new line between each
>>43473027
Whats the error.
>>43473061No instance for (Show (IO()))
arising from a use of 'print'
Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Show (IO ()))

/g/ i need a chat client to get my pleb friends to switch to. It needs to be retard friendly (unfortunately) and accessable from phone/computer.

Now, why the fuck isn't ubuntu minimal installing on my 4GB SD card? It always fails on "Select software to install" and no matter what I do I can't install it. I have it partitioned usually as 1GB / and 3GB /home. I've tried experimenting with swap but it doesn't work either way.
Still at babby's first programme stage. I'm trying to output pi, but it only comes out as 3. How do you change the number of significant figures?
>>43473957
what language?
You may be using integers which do not allow a decimal.
>>43474020
c++
>>43474033
are you outputting a float or double?
>>43473957
that's actually correct, what did you think it would output?
This macbook only has windows on it. I want to try Ubuntu so I made a boot usb. This is all that comes up when I start up. I burnt the iso to a did and it's still just this.
What am I doing wrong?
>>43474351
Did you boot from the CD/USB?
>>43474371
From anything I can find, for macbooks, you hold down option when you first turn it on, then anything you can boot from is shown. Like the screen will show any storage with a boot able os or os installation cd, but the screen only shows the hdd with windows installed on it.

Can I format it inside of windows? I think I read something like that but every solution and tutorial was for osx.

Im prettt sure the bootloader is still Mac. The only program I'm aware of is disk utility, but you removed osx. Try Google or you just might be out of luck.

Well, thats what I'm confused about. You're not copying the contents of the USB. And you can clearly use the contents of the USB without mounting - I selected the install arch thingy from the menu and was able to use partitioning tools provided. So what is it doing exactly?
>>43475188
partitions can only be edited while unmounted
>>43475208
So, what its just a special case gdisk can be loaded off the usb without mounting, but its just a pain in the ass to get the rest of the tools working without it?

I've used hostgator with success. there is no claiming a domain "forever". you can lease one and have the lease auto renew I think, but you can't claim infinite dibs.
>>43475256
if you're running the installer from the usb then the usb is mounted, after partitioning you need to mount the disk you're installing too so that changes can be written to it

>>43475188
the installation medium has it own set of tools. the installation target is a separate partition. you do things like partitioning and making the filesystem without needing to mount because they act on the block device, not the contents. at the point you need to copy system files to the target partition eg with pacman, it needs to be mounted so it knows where to put the files.
How do I have php recognize a period in a query string?$variable = "text.txt";

>>43475435
I think I get it, but I might have to sleep on it. It just seems a bit funny. I'd probably have to understand how the USB installer works on a very detailed level to really 'get' why mounting is needed.

I write a paragraph. I then move my cursor into the middle of a sentence to add some more words to the sentence. What happens is these words start erasing everything to the right of my cursor when I'd rather have it just preserve everything I've already written. It's not like in a browser where I type something and can click in the middle of a sentence to add length or a new adjective.

My Asus 27" lcd monitor just stopped detecting my laptops HDMI out signal after it has been working fine for 6 months. When plugged in, the laptop acts like it has connected and switches to dual monitor extended desktop mode but the monitor just says HDMI No Signal. I tried my desktop on it as well to make sure it was the monitor, same thing happened. This happened after I did a routine plugging in or unplugging (cant remember which) of the HDMI cable from my laptop while both the monitor and laptop were on. I've done this hundreds of times with no problems.
Anyone familiar with this problem and know of any fixes?

IDK what you're actually trying to do....
Do you mean in the address bar?
>>43475545
This is probably what you're looking for. You have to name the input. that variable doesn't make sense in syntax.<?php //Test GET
if (isset($_GET['testTXT']))
{
echo "The value was submitted as: " . $_GET['testTXT'];
}
else
{
echo "Test.txt not found";
$variable = 'test.txt';
echo <<<_TEST_GET
<form method="get" action="testText.php">
<input type="hidden" name="testTXT" value="$variable" />
<input type="submit" value="Get Some Text.txt File" />
</form>
_TEST_GET;
}
?>
Notice how the $_GET collects from the name of the hidden variable I placed as name="testTXT".
I think this is what you're looking for, but if not, please let me know.
Hope this helps.
I want to upload a video to youtube, and leave a pre jewtube compression version available on my vps.
Is there any way I can upload to youtube via a direct link to the mp4 on my site? Alternatively, is there any convenient way to just upload to my vps and then upload too youtube via SSH from my vps? I'd really rather not use twice the bandwidth. I don't have a cap, but this is going to take 5 or 6 days if I have to upload it twice.
I swear to god this feature used to exist.
>>43476418
Of course, since we're declaring the variable ahead of time rather than in the value attribute, you can even have someone change the variable. Like a calculation or something. Submit text for it. IDK what you need it for.

There are these inputs:

And you can cycle through them using the input select button. I've done a bunch of cycles and that doesn't seem to help. Also, I tested the VGA to get to the menu and do a reset. VGA input works but the reset didn't resolve this problem.

I have a really stupid question: I have a local server with media on it, and like to find the drives on the network (the server is my media PC with W7) and watch video over the network from other house computers. Accessing shit is fine with other windows PCs. But I would very much like to have one laptop with linux (preferably a *buntu) also be able to do this. Is there a way to put a shortcut on the desktop of the linux laptop that will reliably open the media PC video locations? Because so far I have failed to make that happen.
I'm not hyper experienced with linux. I have dipped into various *buntu distros over the years but never really stuck with one.
can I disable the sleep timer for my hard drives from disk manager? does that affect its life span or something? I want it always on while my computer is on.

How often do computer parts come dead on arrival. I'm thinking of ordering parts from across the border and I'm not sure if this is a big deal or not. Also, if a store such as newegg sells you something that's fucked straight out of the box, do they usually replace your item or do you have to buy some sort of extra warranty from the store themselves.
I'm thinking RAM, CPU, GPU etc. Not monitors.

Also, Newegg is very good about replacing defective items quickly if you get back to them within a week of recieving it.
If I have full disk encryption, is it useless if the laptop is left on? Do I need to turn it off every time I go to sleep (in case I get raided), or will leaving it locked keep em out?
I caught some shitty installer sneaking Deal Keeper onto my computer and cancelled it, but its still half installed. Whenever i go to uninstall it in add/remove the uninstaller hangs at 50% and I cant manually delete the files because "its being used by another program."

>>43477880
Most places are pretty good about replacements. And most parts arrive in working condition. I'm wary of purchasing OEM hardrives from newegg because they frequently are just taped into several layers of bubble wrap (hello static buildup), but otherwise I don't have a problem with parts arriving doa anywhere. Sometimes you get unlucky and get a bad part. It happens.
>Anecdotes follow
Newegg has turned full cheapass in the past couple of years and asks you to pay for the shipping unless you specifically demand that they pay for it. Same thing with cross shipments. If it's within a few days of arrival they are generally more lenient, but past 2 weeks and it's annoying as fuck. Take pictures of fucking everything. They tried to claim a DoA motherboard I bought had bent pins, and I had pictures to tell them to shove it up their ass. I threw enough of a shitfit that they wound up giving me a 300 dollar gift card as well as overnighting a replacement to me when they normally send it 3-5 day.
Then again, asking a manager a bunch of information such as her full name, employee id, extension, etc and casually mentioning that I would be naming her in a small claims court filing while citing consumer protection laws tends to make those callcenter fucks twitch uncomfortably.
Meanwhile amazon will bend over backwards if something isn't right. I had some drives delayed and then ruined because Fed-ex apparently doesn't understand what zip codes are, then left the drives out in the rain after I asked them why the tracking indicated the package had randomly turned around and was on it's way to Kentucky. Amazon overnighted a full set of replacements without batting an eye.
The caveat is that resellers on Amazon are a mixed bag. Some are fucking wonderful. Some are god awful. Amazon itself tries to get it done and the people in the call centers speak natively.

i'm learning vim, and am tempted to map capslock to esc using the 'registry hack' (windows 8).
however, i've heard this is a bad idea. is it, and if so, why?
I'm trying to mark bad sectors in Elementary OS so it doesn't use those sectors but I'm still in read-only mode even after I marked them. What do?
>>43478201
>>43477880
Thanks guys.
>>43479106
You don't need to use a registry hack to do that. I use a program on my Windows machines called Autohotkey to bind Caps Lock to Ctrl (I am an Emacs user, but it's equally easy to bind it to ESC). Autohotkey is a scripting language for creating hotkeys and stuff on Windows machines. It's this easy to rebind Caps to Escape:;; rebind Caps lock to escape
Capslock::Escape
This shouldn't be dangerous at all. Also you might not even want to do that. When I used to use Vim I bound "jk" to Escape in Vim, you won't usually end up typing that combination in Vim so it's perfect for escaping input mode. I don't remember how to do it but it seems like pretty common practice so it should be easy to find out how.

Don't download GPU drivers from the laptop's manufacturer's page. Get them from the either the AMD or Nvidia webpage. I see that your laptop also has an Intel one, so download it from the Intel webpage.

>>43479660
man apt-get

Either Remote connections are turned off at the other computer or most likely, that version of Windows doesn't support RDP.
Teamviewer uses its own protocol which is why it just werks.
You can try installing Concurrent RDP Patcher in the computer you are trying to remote to and see if that works. Otherwise, you are shit out of luck.
Also check ports, etc and all that jazz first.
Is there any possible way of downloading videos from a certain website?
For example, I want to download this show from madman.com.au/videos/view/4291/live-with-the-flow-baby
>>43479660
Better yet, get it from a PPA, the ubuntu version is pretty fucked.
>>43479713
Try with youtube-dl on GNULinux. Otherwise, try one of those numerous Firefox add-ons which download videos from YouTube and the likes.
I am trying nonstop to get a monitor to work
I figured it was a faulty cable, but it displays everything in the bios and loading windows perfectly
Can you recover an SSH session after a disconnection? If yes; how?
>>43473106
The problem is you are typing this in ghci. When you type something in ghci, it tries to print it. But the type of your expression is [IO ()]. To be able to print a list of something, it must be able to print that something and there is no way to print IO ()

I think screen, tmux, or dtach, maybe used with mosh, will do what you want.
>>43479914
I suppose they all work well on a raspberry pi.
What would be the easiest in this case?
>>43479938
For basic functionality, they're nearly equal. If you're using emacs, you'll need to rebind screen's C-a to something like C-S-^
>>43480012
I am primarily going to use bash, since my pi's a web/ftp server, if that helps.
I'll check them out soon I guess, see what sticks.

What's the best iso mounting program?
>>43480070
WinCDEmu on Windows 7
Windows 8 includes that functionality
I think mnt can be used on GNU/Linux. There's GUIs for doing it.
>>43479633
many universities password protect the BIOS so no booting off of USB sticks.
>>43479620
Virtualbox is complete fucking ass especially when compared to VMWare player, and it's available for parrotFuckerOS exists.
>>43480070
windows: wincdemu
linux: cdemu (unless complete emulation isn't required, then mount can be used instead)

Cheers for the link but I was hoping to download the version from that website because of the quality. Ill guess ill settle for a torrent quality.

When will you FOSS faggots in UX?
So I'm using C++ to read an infile, however I want it to throw away "x" amount of input before saving the good stuff to an array. How would I go about doing this?
>>43480116
i would be really surprised if that stream was better quality than what you can get from torrents
especially this one;

>>43480098
Oh I'm running Windows 8.1. It'll just mount it automatically?
>>43480121
i turned off the OSD
when will you normal faggots into keybinds?
>>43480140

>From your couch
Typical parrotfuckers.
>>43480121
Ubuntu devs hated it so much that they packaged mpv without LUA.
>>43480136
Select the image, right click, it just wrks.
You can also use diskpart from the cmd window.
>>43480157
>mpv
>from your couch
i use xbmc for that
also, why would you complain about an xbox hueg UI when using it from your couch?
you make no sense, man
>>43480157
what else would you use? a fucking mouse?
>>43480162
Fucking wow, why are FOSS players so absolute shit?
Explain yourselves faggots.
>>43480172
>mpv so fucking utterly useless you have to use a whole other program just to solve a common use case scenario.
>>43480187
we've crossed into bait territory now
>>43479660
>Installing mpv
>not using vmware to run mpc-hc instead in unity mode
Or VLC, mpv is a joke.
>>43480167
Cool. I found the mount but there is a bug with it. I found a solution via google though. For some reason the iso is set to be parse file and so windows is throwing an error when i try to mount it.
>>43480201
Didn't the parrotfucker not just recommend xbmc you fucking imbecile?
Leave it to ganoo linux to not into usability.

Sounds like a bad mobo.
Trying to run Unity3D with Wine on Ubuntu 12.04 and the UI looks like pic related.
Anyone know how I can fix this? Tried Google's suggestions but nothing is working.
I currently own a Cherry MX Blue Ducky Shine 3 TKL.
Are buckling springs louder than Blues?
What are the loudest, most obnoxious keyswitches money can buy?
>>43480667
Did you plug in the four-pin extra power connector near CPU?
>>43481060
Start using a real engine that us open source and has linux support like unreal.
>>43481127
>Are buckling springs louder than Blues?
Maybe.
I don't see a reason why change from Ducky though, their keyboards are great. I'm currently using a Ducky Shine 3 YotS with Cherry MX Red switches, but I have the same keyboard in blue switches too.
Enjoy your keyboard, anon.
>>43481145
This, and https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
>>43481154
My DK Shine 3 has 5 dead LEDs and two major cracks in two different corners of the keyboards.
>>43481154
I said open source because I don't know if unreal is a also free software. I think free software is also stupid because 99% of the people will miss the point so I rather use a term like libre software.
>>43481145
I'm using Unity because I've already made significant progress, and I don't really feel like porting it and learning another engine.
>>43481134
I can´t find one.
What's the deal with torrents where I'm only connecting to 1 out of 10 seeders and 2 out of 30 leechers, getting zero download speed, and not even uploading anything in spite of having 50 % downloaded and no upload limit set?
>>43481306
Tried this one?
I have installed CPU Frequency Monitor, I cant seem to change the governors, every time I close it it resets. Using Xubuntu on a X200
>>43481363
I sadly don´t have a fitting cable for that
>>43481377
Your power supply doesn't have an 8 pin lead? This could be the problem
>>43481377
use the 4pin one then
>>43481371
Is it being run as a regular user?
I would imagine you will need root privileges to change the CPU governor.
>>43481397
Note, you can't use PCI-E power connectors in the ATX extra power connector. Tried it once, the mobo won't boot.
My stupid question is this;
My corsair Force 3 SSD died, disappeared from boot list and is unrecognizable on several machines, apparently its a firmware issue/Faulty, will updating the firmware solve the problem and will it wipe the drive?
>>43481431
1. Firmware can't fix it if it doesn't get recognized in BIOS (you can't flash to what's broken, I've tried)
2. Even if you did succeed flashing new firmware, it may wipe the drive. It depends on the drive and firmware version.
>>43481431
How are you going to flash a firmware to a dead SSD?
If it's still under warranty, RMA the fucker. Early Sandforce drives were known to have an issue that required a firmware update to fix. Most if not all manufacturers will replace a dead SSD no problem.
>>43481412
I think so, how would I go about changing the privileges?
>>43481485sudo nameofprogram
>>43481502
Its running in the panel, is there a way it can run as sudo from startup?
>>43481397
>>43481396
I found the 8-pin cable, I´m stupid.
The only thing it changed tho is that the cpu fan stops working after 2 seconds.
>>43481502
Got it working, installed another version ;)
Can someone put together a build for me please? My budget is $600. I'm looking to game a bit. Nothing serious though.

There are a lot of libraries for IRC scripting. I think Python has a really simple one. Then you should look into a method of retrieving the currently played song on your music player. This depends on your music player.
Can i run sleeping dogs?
Got a problem. Running an R9 290 PCS+ and a FX 8320 with a Hyper 212 evo in a shitty budget case with dreadful airflow, pic related. So naturally, there's a lot of hot air in the case, and it's causing my CPU to get up to 61 degrees when playing games, and my GPU to get up to 82 degrees, when it should be at 70 degrees max. Any ideas on how I can get more air into the case to keep it cooler?
>>43482139
Medium/low settings
>>43482147
The CPU temperature should be at 70C max to avoid damage, and the GPU at 80C. However both the CPU and GPU are capable of going much higher than that. If it was really a risk the computer would turn itself off to protect itself
As for the case you need more fans
>>43482160
Thanks.
Could I run Dark Souls 2 on medium/low? With minimum lag?
>>43482173
Where should the fans be placed? I've got two spare ones, originally the side panel had two fans on it, but I had to take them off in order to fit the 212 evo in.
>>43472975
From yesterday. Found an old msi gx623x. Want to install Windows 7 on it. CD-ROM is broken trying with USB during install "Setup is starting" it loops. Waited 30 minutes nothing happens. Tried reseting laptop no luck. Changed USB, ISO no luck
>>43482183
Low/medium too

Do you have one sucking out on the back? Or one on the front sucking in? After those places I would do the top sucking out.
