Does cf-root work on custom roms? I installed cm12 on my s5 and somehow lost my root.
Ive got mint installed on my laptop, when I connect it to my 27" monitor and set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 it doesnt go full screen and has black edges.
When i set the res to 1680 x 1050, it fills the whole screen but obviously zoomed in a bit.
What do I do?
google is no help
Go back to the first resolution and try increasing icon sizes.
I'm probably wrong
PLEASE help
I plug in my external hard drive and I can't find an icon for it anywhere. It's normally in the sidebar or computer folder, but it's not there.
terminal says it's mounted... I forgot how I got to that point cuz I was googling
I have an old HDD that I was using for a boot-drive on an old PC (using windows), I want to use it as storage for a new build (with an SDD boot drive).

You need to activate root on CM12 in the Developer Settings:

use df -h to get a list of mounted drives. identify your drive by the "Size" column. look at the rightmost column to see where it's mounted. guessing it'll be something in "/media".
Pleb tier question here:
I have a PSU that has a 8pin connector but the mobo only has a 12pin slot for a PSU.
Can I just switch the connector and plug it in or do I have to get a new PSU?

Keep looking until you find a four pin connector that fits next to the eight pins. If it's not there, you will need a new PSU.
Is 100 european dollars good price for GTX590?
Hi, I keep having issues with this build.
After about 10 minutes of playing games it auto reboots with a message saying the asus anti surge protection caused the pc to retstart. This has been an on going issue and I believe the only way to fix it will be to buy a new PSU.
What kind of Corsair PSU should I buy to replace it? Any suggestions?
Also is it possible the compatibly problems with the RAM voltage being to high is the cause?
Is there something I can use to see how much power I am using and how much power I have left for upgrades?
>>46793444
Best PSU is non-Corsair PSU.
>>46793511
Any suggestions?
>>46793252
Thanks. Looks like I have to go get a new psu.
You think they'll let me exchange the one I got for a new one without paying? The psu I have was recommended by the customer service and I was told it would work with this mobo.
>>46793580
what model? Any new PSU should have that connector.

Sounds like a setting on the monitor itself, and not in Mint.

I'm trying to set up samba but I can't seem to access the folders if I try to access them from specially made accounts.
Everything works fine if I use the admin account on the server but obviously I don't want that.[Public]

[user2]

The users exist, the samba passwords exist. Why the fuck is it refusing to work

try set the resolution (press enter to confirm) and then restart your pc? only issue is that if that doesn't work then you're stuck with a black screen.
what DE + WM are you using?
>>46792814
(is this in windows? idk so assuming yes)
when your disk is plugged in go to disk management (win+x then choose from list of options) look at the drives and if there is a drive that disappears when unplugging when you unplug the drive then try this:
1. plug the drive back in, refresh disk management
2. right click on the disk when it reappears and click "assign drive letter and path"
3. go through wizard and restart if drive still doesn't appear.
if all that doesn't work then make sure the drive is plugged directly into your pc/laptop, NOT plugged in through a usb hub ect.
>>46792839
look up how to deactivate the windows key so you can reuse it without buying a new one.
right click windows icon and click on system if you don't know what your key is
after that just install windows on your new drive and you can plug in your old drive to copy your stuff off it

i guess so, but you'd probably be better off getting a card that won't set your house on fire (not nvidia joke, just 500 series gpus are really hot and two of them on one board was always a bad idea) you're beter off getting a slightly newer card even if it's a bit slower, just for reliability.

How can I mass delete a specific folder name recursively? The folders are not empty.
I triedfind -name "@eaDir" -delete
but it bitches about files inside the folder.
Suppose, for example, an obscure video was deleted from youtube 2+ years ago.
Is there any kind of archive bot or cache or anything that might allow it to still be somewhere on the internet?
>>46793915find -type f -name "@eaDir" | xargs rm -r

thanks that worked

Chaining commands?
>>46793997fizz | buzzmeans you're piping the output from fizz into buzz
>>46794008
Then I can safely assume xargs does what grep can do natively?
You can't pipe directly to rm I guess.
>>46794019
You can't pipe directly to rm, cause rm doesn't accept standard input.
xargs makes it so rm recieves a proper command line

I have two email accounts on gmail; one for personal stuff and one for internet stuff where I'd like to remain somewhat anomymous (think private trackers, reddit, online forums etc).

I have the option to use up to 3 aliases with my new email address. My question is this:

If I store a recovery of my android device and flash a different rom to it, can I recover my settings and have all of the apps I had installed either present or mass downloable?
>>46795157
OSX isn't capable of being an iso. That's why you can't run OSX as a VM, unless you patch vmware
>>46795195
no
>>46794900
What's the error code
>>46795299
Balls. What exactly does a recovery do? Is it just the OS?
>>46795319
Well it depends on what kind of backup we're talking about. A complete clone, or just a small backup which contains a list of settings? Either way it wouldn't be compatible with another ROM

Any decent verifier or scanner out there for drivers that isn't completely malware?

Which is better: FX 6300 or the i3 4150? Use would be not so heavy gaming and normal desktop usage.

That's the norm, not strange.
My (new) gf said her laptop is busted and has been for like a year.
I think I'd be able to fix it, because it's just some minor hardware issues that can be worked around. The keyboard is broken, her wireless mouse doesn't work, WiFi doesn't work because of some setting she messed around with.
I told her I could just buy a new cheap USB mouse and USB keyboard, but she won't let me look at it.
Do you think it's because she might have things about her ex boyfriend(s) on her laptop that she doesn't want me to see? I honestly can't think of another reason why she wouldn't let me try to fix it.
Oh, and she said it randomly won't turn on, but she isn't sure if the problem is the charger or the laptop itself.
I know this is more relationship related than tech related, but this is a stupid question thread after all
>>46795792
It's probably full of dust and needs a good cleaning. As for the issues, you can replace the keyboard and buy a new mouse. Wifi just needs latest driver and it will be good.
>>46795792
Tell her you're interested if the ram is still okay (bullshit).
Open it up and take out the drive, plug it in pc and take a quick look.
She's probably not guarding it actively. Also women are a lot "Ugh it'll just be trouble and break again blablabla I want a mac like -friend's name- " So unless you're going to fix it 120% it won't be good enough.
If she finds one thing not to her liking It won't be good enough.

>>46796932
>1. I'm on linux mint installed on HP DV6 laptop how do I know if I need the propriety drivers for the GPU or not?
You don't, but it really depends on your usage. Proprietary drivers are usually better and allows for different things, for example, I don't believe the free drivers allow GPU switching (for example, integrated Intel gpu+amd gpu switching).
>2. On android, what does the "mediaserver" in battery status mean?
Media transfers.
>3. an android phone of my friend started to display "USB connector connected/disconnected" and it won't charge, is it the microUSB port?
Most likely.

Doesn't matter, any software/internet service is good for this.
>5. What's a decent OCR program for linux?
Personally I use onlineocr.FOR /R %%A IN (*.jpg) DO copy "%%A" C:\directory1\
>>46797055
Depends on the distro. Mint might have software that reports back, if it does it's probably your own fault.
>>46797165
It's all supplied if you buy it. The case comes with screws, the PSU comes with wires for power (if modular, otherwise they're already attached).
Motherboard comes with the rest you might need.
>>46797165
Usually the motherboard lists what wires it will proved. Maybe you should just check around to see if you have everything you need. Usually the ones who buy their wires separately are the ones who want sexy sleeved wires.
