Questions that dont deserve their own threads thread (so like 80% on /g/).
Im about to install Antergos on a nigger rigged PC I drunkenly put together last night.
I have 3 HDDs, a SATA 320GB one, an IDE 400GB one and an IDE 60GB one from 2003 that kinda still works.
Which one would be better to work as my OS HDD? The SATA one or the IDE one?
Thanks in advance, Ill post pics of my masterpiece next. Currently running a live session while waiting for help and wisdom.
If I were to install Arch on a virtual machine using a physical hard disk, could I boot from that hard disk on my actual machine?
>>45238528
SATA 320GB for boot
IDE 400GB for storage
Don't use the 60GB IDE in this system.
>>45238624
probably you will have to fix the bootloader and fstab file
>>45238647
Thanks bby, will do so.
FreeBSD 10.1 was just realised recently, wondering if it's any good as a desktop OS?
*sigh*.......ok....If I put another video card into an optiplex 780 can I use two monitors? I know there are splitters and video cards with two plugins but I'm using limited resources for now.......
>>45238710
how?
>>45238848
Yes, if that graphics card support dualmonitors and has 2 ports (for videocablkes, forgot the name of those things)
Virtual machine question:
How many cores do i assign to the guest?
if i have a dualcore, how many?
if i have a quad core, how many?
i assume 1 on the dualcore and 2 on the quadcore

It's not.
y-- is still 3, y - x = 0, and 3 - 0 = 3

Why does /g/ hate on Ubuntu so much? Just run FixUbuntu and use the proprietary graphics drivers if youhave an NVIDIA card. I recently replaced Windows with it, and it's working just fine. I can even play CS:GO (albeit with alot of tearing).
>>45239175
Start a live fedora, mount your current root, chroot in then reinstall grub2, re-create grub.cfg and optionally re-generate your initrd.

It's a Windows system. And no chance of convincing the owner to install gentoo.
If you suspect a malicious program/code on your OS and want to back up your data so you can perform a format and fresh install, is it possible for that malicious program to infect the external drive?
This is all assuming you're backing things up like image, video, audio, and text files as well as a few exe's of drivers and important programs.
I've got a file server running FreeNAS, and it makes me think about the possibility of expanding it to make a game server.
How implausible would this idea be?:
Put the server in a big enough case to house the shit that's already in it, plus 2 decent GPU's. Or possibly go with one of the GPU's as an eGPU. Then install a Windows VM with the passthrough thing enabled, then use Steam Streaming to stream games to any other device in the house.
P.S. If my motherboard has an integrated graphics package, could I do the GPU passthrough with just one graphics card?
>>45239426
yes, depending. What sort of malware are we talking?
>>45239064
yup
>>45239448
Not positive I have malware in the first place. Basically I decided to be a complete idiot and visit shady websites, a lot of them. I didn't download anything from any of those sites and I do have an updated system but dat paranoia.
And now dat paranoia is concerned about whether or not I'll transfer any of that possible malicious code with me to the external.
Paranoia strikes me. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. Step out of line, the men come and take you awaaeeyaaay.
>>45238922
anyone?
>>45239478
run systemd-analyze, also look at the manual
>>45239514
Not more than your cores/threads. You can create a dualcore VM if you host has two cores, but with intensive usage from the VM, you host's programs will suffer performance loss.
>>45239426
Yes, there have been a lot of examples of widespread worms that do just this, specifically if we're talking about high risk files (.doc, .pdf, .swf).
>>45239492
mhm, just run a virus check on full scan, it depends on the malware if it will copy or not.
>>45239561
Balls.
So what's the solution then? Format everything and lose all data?
>>45239492
>Basically I decided to be a complete idiot and visit shady websites, a lot of them. I didn't download anything from any of those sites and I do have an updated system but dat paranoia.
You got noscript and adblock? If so you're probably fine

Is it possible to build a computer without a hard drive and install my OS directly to the RAM?
I though that 4GB RAM is still enough nowadays but I am constantly close to maxing it out and all I do is browse the web. Is this normal?
>>45240397
Yes, that's good. If you weren't maxing it it'd be wasteful.

About how much power does a W7 desktop spend while "sleeping"? Obviously it depends on a lot of factors but give me a ballpark figure compared to normal usage of playing a video and browsing something. 50%? 30%? 10%?
>>45240906
1%.
Something like 3-5 watts. Total.
All that's remaining on is the ram.
For haswell, this number is much smaller.
<1 watt in that case.
>>45240906
about 350 watt
So where can i aquire a One plus invite?
>>45240906
Assuming you're using STR (which it should by default on most configurations, you can tell because all your fans and shit will shut off) very little power is needed. Just enough of a trickle to keep your RAM from losing its contents.
>>45240960
Register on the forums and they'll email you one eventually. For me it took something like two months. They prioritize active members, which is the whole reason for invites instead of preorders, so you'll get one faster if you're active in the forums. Those forums suck, though. I only ever posted once. Their production capacity increases all the time, and so I assume that people signing up today will not have as long a wait as I did even if they aren't active, but since it depends on whether or not more people are signing up now than were then, it's hard to say for sure. Waiting your turn as a forum member will probably seem like a long wait if you need a new phone now, but if you're just tired of the one you have or whatever, it's not that bad. Just register and forget about it, and at some point you'll be surprised with an opportunity to upgrade.
Alternatively, buy one on ebay or just wait and hope you get lucky.

Can I have 2 domain names on the same host?
As in let's say I want to have top.com and kek.com can I have those on the same host (as in not paying for the two of them separately)?
I'm trying to set up a test boot here for my PC. My power supply didn't come with a 4+4 pin PCI cable, so I'm a bit confused. Do I have to get another one? Can I not plug the 8 pin that's protruding from the power supply into my GPU's 8-pin slot? Or does that go somewhere else?
>>45241152
You mean have both of them link to the same server? This is entirely possible. You can usually set different root directories for each of them so they will appear as different web sites to outside connections. (Of course you can just have them both point to the same place if you want that as well.)
>>45241199
Yeah that's what I mean. I guess that still counts as one domain doesn't it then? Thanks
>>45241218
Two domains, one server. The domain is just the address used to locate the resource you're connecting to.
>>45241159
Let me rephrase that. Is it fine to use a straight 8-pin cable instead of a 4+4? I don't have a 4+4. and my power supply didn't come with one.
First time posting in /g/, wondering what OS I should run if I:
Want clean, flat UI
Play games (steam and other)
run word processor, 3d modelling, photoshop (3 main uses outside of internet and games)
Currently using Windows 7 64x.
What the hell is with WinTab? Why does it take more processing power than crysis to idle? Is it just me?
>>45241311
If you want to play games you pretty much need to be on Windows. Otherwise you just wind up wasting a shitload of time on workarounds and sometimes can't make shit work at all regardless, and it doesn't sound like any of your other applications are things you can do much better in other OS.
W7 is probably the best for playing games since W8 dropped directdraw support which made some really old games incompatible.
>>45241311
Stick with Windows
Upgrade to 8.1
>>45241311
7/8. Gaming on any other os than windoze isn't an option in my opinion.
Do hosting sites check what you upload to your site? I want to upload a couple of files for a relative that would otherwise require him to torrent. Would it be best if I upload them as zips and renamed so they seem a bit more subtle?

4+4 means its two plugs of 4 slots

just like mobos used to come with 20 slots
that's why its called 20+4 so the psu can be used on old machines

Also, on the topic of ksh configuration, how can I getbind -m '^L'=clear'^J'to work? Whenever I try to enter ^J on either the terminal or within vi/m it inputs <return>, as it should, but how can I enter it without it doing that?

QUICK BATCH QUESTION
what do double angled brackets around a filename mean?<<target_folder>>

and i dont think i will use z77 to the fullest, can a i get a

its way cheaper, and as a poorfag it would be much appreciated.

>>45242192
well but isnt the new motherboard a upgrade? or i just focus on a better VGA? if yes, any recommendations?
CPU fan isn't running after I clear POST. It runs when the motherboard screen is on but doesn't go after that (doesn't run in BIOS either).
Chip is an i5 4690K on a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5.
>>45242237
No, if your intel mobo works well theres not much your new mobo would get you
especially if you are not getting chipset thats not overclockable
even then you want mobo + good heatsink and then you can OC to around 4.3-4.5GB that sandy bridge of yours, but there are cheaper mobo than 5 year warranty saberootth
and this all would not increase FPS that much in framerate and would still cost you soemthing around $150, including heatsink
dont buy mobo, add that money to the 7970 budget and get gtx970, I like MSI version
>>45242285
great. thanks for the quick response
but some guy told me my current setup dont handle a gtx970. was he lying? or he was just saying i couldnt get the most of it? if you say its good, i will get it
>>45242336
I would be more incline to say he is full of shit
yes, your setup could be improve, but the difference would be tiny
especially when 300%+ increase in performance when it comes to going from gtx550ti to something like 7970 or gtx970
your setup can take it without any issues, sandy bridge was probably the best investment in to a cpu of the last 5 years
the ivy bridge, and haswall that followed increased performance only very slightly but most important thing is that generally 90% of the games just dont care for the cpu, but even if they would do, with sandy bridge i7, you are in the top category still

>>45239207
x++ is a post-increment, meaning that it first returns the original value, then increments the variable. eg x = 5; x++ returns 5, but after x++, x = 6.
What's happening is something like thisx = x++ + y++;
//broken down into
z = (x + y); //where z is a temporary address or register used by the computer to store the value of x + y, not an actual variable in your code of course.
x++;
y++;
x = z;
so you getz = (3 + 3) = 6
x = 3 + 1 = 4
y = 3 + 1 = 4
x = z = 6
as for y:y = y-- + y - x
//broken down into
z = y;
y--;
z += y
z -= x;
y = z;
so you getz = y = 3
y = 3 - 1 = 2;
z += y = 5;
z -= x = 2

I'm using Linux and I just added a second hard drive to my T420. I would like to save these from my browser straight to the hard drive but the download always fails. I suspect it has something to do with needing root to add files to the directory within the second hard drive.
How do I download stuff to my second hard drive from a browser like Firefox?
Question : I have to assemble a pc for an illustrator. She uses the computer mainly for photoshop//illustrator. I'd like to save her some money. Do i really need a vga? Do I really need to get more than say... an i3 or a 6300? Am I fine with like 8 gig of ram and an ssd? Thanks /g/uys
I'm trying to disable mouse acceleration in OS X yosemite. Anyone know how. i tried this.
>>45242666
Where is the second hard drive mounted? You could try using fstab to mount it to "~/Downloads/". You can try moving something to the hard drive with mv or cp on the command line, to confirm your suspicion about permissions, or you could just "ls -l" its directory to see what its permissions are.

>>45240453
Yes, but it would be bad. Wood is a much better material.
is the oneplus one still relevant?
>>45242666
You probably mounted the drive as root and didn't set the right permissions. You should use /etc/fstab to mount stuff like that.
>>45242952
It's still the best value on the market AFAIK, so yes.
I have a file in a directory in /usr/include that I am trying to include in a program. Changes to it are not registering. I can change or remove the file entirely and the program compiles without difference. What is happening?

Is there a way to install of Kali's software on xubuntu?
My computer was working fine earlier today, but after leaving it alone for a couple hours I cannot get anything to come up on the display!
Naturally I thought my dinosaur GPU had finally given out so I attempted to boot using on board graphics, but still no luck.
>motherboard has a LED to indicate it's getting power
>fans and everything getting power
>tried reseating RAM
>tried clearing CMOS
What the fuck could it be? Any suggestions before I try to reseat the CPU?
>>45243460
Yes, Kali is just a linux distro with tons of software installed. Everything you want should be in the repos or available online.
>>45243466
All that for a display issue and you didn't check the monitor.
>>45243496
Thanks. I did have Kali installed but gnome shit itself So I'm now on xubutu

If i leave my charger plugged into the wall (but with no phone/device connected to it) does it still consume electricity?
If so, is it anything significant
Anyone here (lol) mind sharing their config file for the mg text editor?
>>45243864
Depends on the charger. Some will drain a couple watts no matter what. You can get a power measurement thingamabob or you can just leave it plugged in without charging anything and see if it gets warm.

I feel like I can "hear" my computer working.
Whenever it does something calculationally intensive, the ambient buzzing noises that my computer makes get quieter for a split second.
It's kind of faint but I notice it so much that I have to wear headphones to drown it out. Do you know what's actually going on?
>>45243864
Yes, it will always drain something, however small. No, it should not be significant at all.

yes it does, also see pic.

It should be fine if your cable is heavy enough for the load you're putting on it.
Can I install debian on an external hdd in order to boot to it depending on if I am at my desktop or on my laptop?
>>45244074
I often leave these threads open in a tab while I'm doing something else, and check them when they've racked up a few new posts. Sometimes I ask questions myself, sometimes I learn things from watching other people's questions get answered, and sometimes almost knowing the answer to someone's question causes me to look something up and solidify my knowledge about something.

Whelp I went ahead and reseated the CPU and heatsink, looks like I may have found an issue. The H100i I installed a couple months back had an excessive amount of thermal paste -- basically a square layer the actual size of the CPU. I didn't think much of it at the time, but here we are now. It seems like it had run over the edge and gotten on the motherboard a little and possibly into the socket.
After attempting to clean up and reapplying thermal paste, it boots just the same -- still can't get a display. Is it possible that the CPU is fried or the socket rendered useless?

Anyone here been in the situation where they were trying to get an entry level IT job without any prior experience or degree?
If yes then do you have any advice? I'm having a hard time figuring out what I can be practicing or doing on my own/ what to fill my resume with.
Within the past few days, the speakers I have connected to my computer have been making this weird high-pitched buzzing noise.
Moving the mouse cursor changes the frequency of the buzzing noise, scrolling through webpages makes a different noise, and whenever I am playing video games or watching movies the noise will continue to change.
Unplugging my DP cable from my graphics card seems to fix the noise, what I want to know is what could be causing this, and how I could potentially fix it without just keeping my graphics card unplugged
the fan in my nvidia card cant go below 28% (linux). anyone know how to fix this?
>>45244385
Sounds like maybe an audio cable is inducing an EM field produced by your display cable. Fix it by using shielded cables. If that doesn't help, it's possible that the interference is inside the case, in which case you would fix it by using an external DAC.
Why do I have a null pointer exception?

How do I install Better Twitch TV on Seamonkey?

What drivers are you using? Also, what card?
>>45244542
I recently redid all my external computer and audio cabling, and wrapped each cable into loops to shorten their lengths and keep them tidy.
Could the looped cables be increasing the interference they give off somehow?
Its really the only thing that has changed since this started
>>45244385
>>45244542
See if the proximity of the cable affects the volume of the interference, and let me know how it goes. I'm curious.
>>45244584
just use livestreamer faget

>>45244596
If an analog audio cable runs parallel to another cable for a long time, that will significantly increase the chance of producing audible interference, especially if the audio cable in question is pre-amplification.

How to install fonts in unix?
>>45244672
What's the GPU usage at while idling?
>>45244723
Put them in /usr/share/fonts/
There's probably a package in your repository that includes the font you're looking for if it's a common one and freely licensed.
>>45244740
it quivers between 0% and 1%

>>45244240
>>45243466
Managed to solve my problem. I'm still not quite sure what exactly what might've been causing the problem. I spent an hour plus reseating all of my hardware, checking power connectors, etc.
And then finally (in a last ditch effort) I reinstalled the GPU and attempted to boot using those outputs instead of the on-board graphics, and it ran perfectly.
Firefox's unprompted "featured" tiles, while it can be disabled, turned me off of the browser. Do I have any other options, aside from Chrome or IE, that will play nice with Adobe Flash?
What's a good low-medium price webcam?
I need a website and/or a program that allows me to stream media from my computer to other people from outside my network. More specifically I want to watch anime with my long distance friends, but I'd prefer to do it with my own downloaded content rather than copy pasting links of low quality videos from anime streaming websites into media sync pages whilst crossing my fingers every time hoping the link works.
I tried VLC but got no-where, and I'd rather an alternative to making an account into livestreamer or ustream whilst utilizing a heavy piece of software that hogs all my CPU and memory screen-grabbing and streaming with delay and stutter.
Any suggestions?
>>45244740
worst case is i just solder in a resistor to make the fan a bit slower, otherwise i guess i could BUY a quieter fan
>>45244597
Update, moving the audio cable, speaker cables, video cables, and power cables had no effect on the noise.
Plugging the audio cord into the front headphone jack had no effect on the noise.
Switching from displayport to DVI had no effect on the noise.
Unplugging the right channel cord stopped the noise coming out of the right speaker. Same with the left.
Listening through my headphones, there was no noise.
So the audio cord from computer to receiver is picking up the interference, but I still have no idea where the interference is coming from. This is a recent problem as well, smooth sailing up until a few days ago
