Guys I've got a serious question here. My NAT type for my XBox shows up as strict. I want it to be open. I tried to fix it by configuring my ports, but the people at XBox told me to call the ISP. Shit idea. I called ealier and they said they can't even forward ports so I ended doing it myself. Now XBox said that I have manually open the NAT type myself, but I don't know how. I also called Netgear and they said I have to pay, but since I'm a poorfag I didn't pay them to do the stuff for me. So do you guys know how to open the NAT type for the XBox?

Hello /g/,
so i have an old ASUS p5kpl am epu motherboard.
i have one pcie x16 with a nvidia gt430 on
and one empty pcie x1. I was wondering what it would be like upgrading to a pcie x16 ssd (if they exist) and change the gt430 with a pcie x1 gt 730. Is this a good idea?
My computer's having problems with Internet connection.
Once every 20-30 seconds or so, my download speed drops to zero for a few seconds. Pings time out, can't load pages, all the symptoms of not being connected to the Internet. The network and sharing center, however, never says that I'm disconnected. It's not a network problem, because taking the exact same cable and plugging it into another computer results in flawless Internet. I've tried restarting, installing updates, scanning for viruses, disabling/enabling my computer's network adapter, none of it worked. There also aren't any processes running that I don't recognize.
The problem started after I used a VPN client called SoftEther to connect to a Russian VPN server in order to get around an IP block.
I imagine the use of a VPN messed with my network adapter somehow, but I'm not sure what else to try to fix it besides disabling/reenabling it.
How do i set a custom screen resolution for a VGA connected panel that's got a native res of 1440x900 (some old Ubuntu on a shit computer I try to fix. highest is 1366x768, they complain they can't read shit anymore.)
..And make it LAST. on every reboot, the resolution is not kept (copypasted Xrandr shit )
Athlon XP / 2Gb / Radeon9 200
>>51646524
>on every reboot, the resolution is not kept
As a hacky solution, you could have a script run at startup that manually sets the resolution to what you want.
>>51646519
The only things I can imagine you can do is reinstalling your NIC driver, and reinstalling your OS.
Why just switching the stereo is a rare option?

yeah i tried this solution; no joy. it keeps telling me"cannot apply the selected resolution"
the only answer the irc "tech guys" replied is
>hurf durf tiome to throw this machine away and buy at leasdt a i5 with hdmi"
it's for a couple of old people who live on their retirement, i'm being already kind upgrading their virus ridden shit to something that almost works right. and these sperglords claims it's none of their business.
that's it.
everyday i'm progressively disgusted by what the linux "community" is turning into consumerist tards and their "hurf durp Unity is ffffffffffantastic, just ignore the lag or buy a new muchine"

What drives these highly skilled individuals to become complete moralfag "white hat" hackers? I just don't get it. Every security or hacking related presentation at things like Defcon are done by complete insufferable cunts who spew memes like a redditor and sound like a 16 year old who grew facial hair.
They're basically amped up SJWs.
>>51646524
Setting the resolution is kind of a shit way to do that. Have you taught them about (ctrl +), (ctrl -)? Also take 5 minutes to dick with default font sizes, in Lubuntu it's under Preferences -> customize look and feel.
Also I had a computer where the botnet Nvidia drivers fucked up and made my fonts too big, I had to use some commands to change DPI settings back to "96 x 96". If this is desired behavior for your lusers you can just fuck it right to 128 or 160 or something and watch that shit balloon up.
This was the tutorial I followed, maybe you could adapt it somehow: http://www.techytalk.info/lubuntu-change-fonts-dpi-when-using-proprietary-nvidia-driver/

Yo guys I found my sister's really old laptop and want to install windows on it and give it my my grandpa.
Thing is, it now has ubuntu that was installed by some friend of hers many years ago and the dickhead put a password on the admin account that nobody remembers.
I need to format the HDD with NTFS so I can install windows, but when I start the disk partitioning tool in the cmd, it only finds the DVD and the flash drive I'm trying to install from and not the HDD.
Can't format from ubuntu because I don't have the admin password. Help please.
>>51646636
Looks like the meme was right for once, I found a service related to the client, problem went away when I stopped it.
Thanks, /g/.
>>51646733
Maybe make a LiveUSB of a Linux distro and see if that can see the drive?
>>51646750
I can format the HDD using that, right? Never tried it before.
>>51646689
Trips have a purpose when it's to stay on topic, you fucking mongol.
>>51646769
Yeah. I know the live version of Ubuntu has a graphical partition manager included, and pretty much any distro should let you format via the terminal.

Is there a torrent client that can keep track of previously downloaded torrents? like in an archive list?
Just pausing the torrents isn't sufficient since when I restart the client it has "missing files" for torrent on external hard drive and I have to force recheck.
In addition, downloading 7zip files means having two copies if I want to keep it on the torrent list.

People used to recommend ikea office chairs some time ago. I have a cheap one and it's ok. Maybe you should make a chair thread and see what people use.
>>51646850
Your best bet to get in-depth information is probably somewhere on 4chan. Either a battlestation thread, or maybe make a dedicated chair thread.
>>51646817
thanks! well, tried that but the file doens't even exist, and no config file that looks like a list of resolutions.
just for a PC to read/write emails, have a wordprocessor and store/share photos and videos it's more than sufficinet but all i got here is a 1MBPS internet and an ubunutu disc :I
fuck my life.
>>51646524
nah the thing is, the screen is 1440x900, they want to see full pages and non blurry photos. they are in fact not blind and there is no way besides using a hdmi monitor to display shit correctly. the price of freedom... i guess.

Let them die alreadyyou fucking poorfag. You probably live in some soviet shit country I couldnt even watch HD video on that shit, kill yourself. Ubuntu wouldnt support a 10yo machine moron
>>51646985
Well, the reason to choose Lubuntu over Ubuntu would be that on top of being shitty, the Unity DE is flashy, which makes it eat more RAM to run than other, more minimal DEs.
Other than preference though, I don' think there's a big difference between Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, et cetera.
>>51646985
it (LXDE) is created with the intent of being as close to classic windows as possible (at least that is how it look)
the file manager is exellent and again similar to windows explorer
it uses like 200MiB (it can be much less but it's a *buntu) and overall the system makes it possible for the applications you use to make the most of your hardware
it is easy to use, simple and very clear on what is what because of the well established classic look and feel
beeing part of the *buntus it offers all of their user helpers to make installing/updating easier for non tech people
>>51647028
Shut the fuck up retard.

I'll try this after the little update. hope it won't fuck up everything.

>>51647063
one sure way to set dpi is in ~/.Xresourses but i dont know if/how it applies to external monitors as well
>>51647088
anh imho it's the issue where Ubuntu doesn't detect any higher resolution. it does run all the fancy extra mode animations, which means the driver is almost okay, even though adobe flash crashes. but just won't keep the config
>cvt 1440 900
gives
>1440x900 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.30MA) hsync: 55.93 kHz; pclk: 106.50 MHz blahblah
so i continued with
>xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1440x900_60
>xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900_60
while on a DVI LCD things reaches 1920x1200
okay i got enough of this shit. sorry, its just simple things that requires a mountain, also it's for other users who doens't manage to set their LCD resolution properly because fucking linux wont detect properly the signals from plug n play devices.
>>51647196
>its just simple things that requires a mountain

read through your conversation, try this;
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf;
http://pastebin.com/8p1Vc9Up
(spam filter didn't like it)
(change VGA-0 if it's wrong, run "xrandr" by itself to find out what port is in use)
once that's in there, just restart X (for example, log out then back in) and 1440x900 should be an option (and the default)

depends if you're on nvidia or amd, but it's possible, or at least it's easy to mod the .info file for really exotic timings and shit if you use a CRT.

How do I tell if a HDD is failing? Just now everything froze on my computer and then stopped working and gave me an I/O error when trying to access the drive

Right now I'm using stock Intel cpu cooler. No plan for overclocking whatsoever
I currently have an AMD FX8320 overclocked to 4.0GHz. I want to go Intel, though, so whats an intel processor which is the equivalent, or slightly better, than my AMD one? Or rather, what's a good intel processor for gaming which isn't overly expensive?
>>51647482
Virtual machines can't destroy the OS they're on. That's the whole point of using them: to try out something without damaging your PC. Linux usually means a performance boost compared to Windows, also providing a ton of competent software for free. If you like PC gaming odds are you'll get everything running natively or using Wine.
Mi advice: try any of the *buntus (Kubuntu or Xubuntu) on a virtual machine (Virtualbox is a good idea) and if you like it go ahead and dual boot. You can find help in >>51644564

Sounds like a OS failure, which could be caused by the HDD.
if it's an SSD yeah, it could be broke and you're screwed. If it's a traditional disk, you'll probably be able to fix it. Take the disk out and get a USB adapter/case, then try it on another computer. If it mounts, copy your stuff and then make a "slow" format, it will detect and fix any broken sector. By fixing I mean disable, but the final result is a working HDD with a few bits less. You won't notice it. Once format is complete you can put it back in your PC and make a clean OS install.
If it doesn't mount.. you're screwed. Try a professional hard disk recovery company if you have important stuff. If not, just throw it out and get a new HDD.
>>51646509
This is my stupid question.
I don't really want to bump my post, but i forgot to add 2 important points:

I have a question regarding mainboards.
Why should you use a H or B mainboard if you don't plan on overclocking? I know that Z boards are for overclocking. Can you use Z boards with a locked CPU? Anything bad that could happen?

I've been running an AMD A8-3750K processor forever. Looking at some upgrades for gaming, I know my GPU situation sucks, but processors are still quad core and getting toward 4Ghz costs a few bucks. Is it worth going with a new processor and mobo, or just a new discrete GPU?
>>51648644
A8s and A10s have been the best bang for your buck cpu's out there for a few years now. You prolly don't need to change it, but check cpuboss and compare it to whatever you're looking and see if it's a good idea to upgrade or not.

in the mpv config file, it's "ytdl-format=<formats>
the options are all the same, just on the command line you put "--" before them, and in the config file you don't
the format numbers are the same per format, like "244" is always 480p vp9, and 251 is always 160k opus
not all videos have the same format available though, but you can specify more than one format, and ytdl will pick the first available
for example, if you specify say,
ytdl-format=244+251/243+250/135+171/best
it will first try 480p vp9 + 160k opus, then 360p vp9 + 70k opus, then 480p avc + 128k vorbis, then just the best non-dash (often 720p, or 360p if it was never an hd source)

this is basically all I want to do. Sorry for the questions, I'm from /fit/, I'm tech savy just don't know shit about how bitcoin works.

Would it be possible to apply custom interfaces to websites? Like websites who have undergone a design change that made it much worse; to something more bearable/relative to the original?
No point having a 4K screen if they make everything incredibly huge.
Are people just misinformed about SSDs or should you really treat them like a helpless baby as so many people seem to do? I see so many people buy 250+ GB SSDs and just install their OS onto it and leave it alone because they think if they put anything else on it it will eat through the entire things lifespan in the blink of an eye.

You probably don't need to spend so much on cooling but that's your choice.
I'm clueless on mobos but that looks like a standard z97 so whatever.
I hear the CX are not quality PSUs but I have the exact same one(I live in shitty country and didn't have many choices) and it works just okay, no problem until now. Check if it covers your overclocking needs, I don't know about that.
Is Windows 10 really that bad? I'm doing a fresh install and I'm wondering if I might as well go ahead and upgrade now since I can get W10 free through my university.

There must be none except if you rewrite part of the code and compile it for yourself.

I got an XPS 13 with only 4GB of RAM. I was a dumbfuck cheapass who didn't want to pony up for at least 8GB.

A local company went bust. They had a lot of hardware that they needed to get rid of. I now have 128 GiB of free ECC memory, all in 8 GiB sticks.
Why do I do with it? Can normal mobos take ECC memory? I know they can't use the ECC features, but can they just use it as normal RAM?

So i have a problem with my S6 Edge. I tried to root it yesterday, which failed. Then i wanted to reinstall/recover Android 5.1.1 and tried it with 2 different files already. Both of them failed, because Odin told me the device was removed right before the installation finished for some reason. Now i get that screen that tells me to do the recovery via Smart Switch, but Smart Switch says my phone isn't supported by it. Kies also doesn't work. What do? The Model is g925fxxu3coi9 btw.

I have another question. I got a free server chassis too. It's a Sun Fire x4150. It will take 64 GiB of RAM (which I already have) and have dual quad-core Xeons.
Would it be possible to use it as a desktop? It's a 1u unit. Are there any GPUs that would fit it?
I know it wouldn't be a great desktop. It's a server rather than a tower and it's quite old. But it's free and my current desktop is an absolute PoS, so it might be worth it.
>>51650464
If the rest is fine then you can buy some more ram, most notebooks can.

He'd probably wind up throwing out the 4 GiB he already has, though, which is a waste. It might be 1x4 in which case he can just need 4 GiB, but it's probably 2x2 which means he'd be buying a full 8 GiB.

If you program for fun go for whatever you find more appealing. If you want better job offers go for COBOL, most banks still use that ancient shit and pay good money for people who can handle it.

different defaults, "opengl" being "safer", and "opengl-hq" enabling a bunch of fanciness. it's just a preset though, you can use "opengl" and just enable additional things manually as well (or use opengl-hq and enable even more in addition to that)

Windows Media Creation Tool:http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209
1. Install the Windows 7 ISO onto your drive with your preferred method. Skip entering key during installation.
2. Activate using KMSpico
3. Run Windows Update, install ALL updates and restart
4. Delete all files inC:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
5. run the Media Creation Tool and select "Upgrade Now!" (important!)
6. next next etc etc until Windows 10 is installed, DONE.
7. Now that you have fully valid Windows 10, you can make your own install disks for fresh installs if you desire.

You have to reevaluate every few months, no official support, and you have software you don't trust (KMSpico) instead of a fully clean and legal install.

bubble wrap, no foam. foam is a bit too rigid for a niggerrigged carry case.
i wouldn't worry about it so much. lcds can take some abuse with regard to bending and frontal pressure. people just misinterpret "some abuse" to mean "i can drop this and it'll still work".

I would break down if I'd do this, the shit you see those luggage movers do.
My computer makes a constant, quiet, buzzing noise, even when it's turned off (although it's louder when it's turned on), and the sound seems to emanate from the PSU. I tried using a different outlet and switching the power supply to a spare, but in both cases, the noise was still there. Is this normal? Are my power supplies just noisy?
