set your environment variables MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT to 127.0.0.1 and 6601 assuming that port works for you
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
port "6601"
killall mpd

then you should be fine to setup ncmpcpp or w/e client you're using on the same ports and music directory

Personally I use dwm, since it's functional and simple, but you probably won't be able to make the weeb desktops you see here with it.

Openbox is a nice floating WM, but you can turn it into a tiling wm by installing pytyle.
i3 is an alright tiling wm. If you're using Arch, or have access to the AUR, you can install i3-gaps, which allows you to change the margins around the windows, and in between windows, without having to do much in terms of editing the config file

I was in one of these threads a few days ago with a wallpaper that was some chick covered in staples with moonrunes above her head. If one of you friendly folk could reup it, that'd be great. I switched over to fedora today and forgot to back up my awesome config.
>>52152213
urxvt and ncmpcpp
you could try xrandr for your dual montior. Make sure you have the right video card drivers installed, for nvidia it should just werk (tm)
>>52152198
Thank you for proving my point.
>>52152206
At least not for a person who doesn't know shit about coding. Literally install i3-gaps, and type "gaps inner <px>" and "gaps outer <px>" without quotes. It's easier for non-code monkeys
>>52152213
multi-monitor requires xrandr
use arandr for a graphical interface
do "pacman -S xrandr arandr"
i use urxvt (or uxterm) and mpd+ncmpcpp

thanks! i'll be sure to check out urxct/ncmpcpp. i did already have xrandr/arandr installed as someone suggested it yesterday. what might be causing it though as anon said is my drivers. i haven't really made a conscious effort to install the right stuff (amd). i'll read through the wiki.

You faggots ruined 4chan.

"pacman -S xf86-video-ati" for your drivers

apparently I already had this installed. weird.
>>52152315
it's weird, before I start my WM (in terminal-land) my second monitor shows that it's not recieving any power. when i boot into my WM (startx) it suddently recieves power. also sometimes stuff is displayed on it when i boot up, while my prime monitor works normally. it says the usual arch boot up messagestarting version 228
/dev/sda5: clean, 207095/5898240 files, 1779985/23592960 blocks"
while i'm using openbox it's never a pitch black, it always has some light to it like it's powered on. everything else acts like it doesn't exist. my xrandr:
http://pastebin.com/raw/mJjmuyfd
but basically the monitors are the same model and use VGA cables. i have these two vga to hdmi converters to plug them in. what i noticed (which may or may not matter) is that the one that works is connected to my video card while the other one is connected to my motherboard / intergrated gpu. not sure if that matters.
have another wallpaper as an offering of peace

i can't though. the first monitor is the one that plugs in, and there isn't a spare hdmi or vga plug in down there. should i order one of those splitter things so I can plug in two?
>>52152620
>>52152653
It's probably because there are so many evaders in these threads, the mods got confused. Comes with the territory of an anonymous imageboard I suppose.

>>52152708
I tried putting mine on, but couldn't figure it out
>>52152715
yeah I know he evades, Im saying that tons of other people do too

that's unsafe

>>52152735
>I tried putting mine on, but couldn't figure it out
Take io shield.
Disconnect and remove mobo from case.
Snap io shield into place, you can tell you did it right if the io shield lines up with the motherboard ports and the io shield is firmly locked in.
Put mobo back in. Reconnect to power supply.
Done.
i present: that one guy who evaded his ban for evading a ban he never evaded
>>52152826
Reported for evading an evaded ban that was never evaded except for the current evasion in progress.
>>52152816
Oh, and by snap io shield into place, you stick it in the rectangular hole of the case. Just to clarify.
>>52152842
>>52152816
you got a method that doesn't require unplugging anything?
>>52152868
unless you connect it from the outside, there is no way
>>52152679
>plug the first motherboard into the onboard
What the fuck is this supposed to mean? Does he have two motherboards? How do you plug a motherboard into a GPU?
>>52152868
Sorry no. The io shield was made to snap into place from inside the case, unless you have an instruction manual that came with that case stating you can also stick it from the exterior.
>>52152878
i meant to type monitor, but my brain had other plans
d-do i do it?
>>52152898
what's the benefit of an IO shie;d?
>>52152915
no short circuiting your motherboard due to static discharge
hence the name "shield"
>>52152915
no dust
connectors won't get bent as easily
you don't end up with a plug in your case on the offchance you miss your target
>>52152915
You get sent to the 4th ring of hell instead of the 5th
>>52152924
>>52152915
no it really just keeps dust out.
>>52152868
>>52152915
With your luck I'm worried that you'd manage to explode your computer if you tried to install one
>>52152915
Mainly to keep dust out and to ground the motherboard by having the little fiddly bits touch the ports. Your PC is still okay without the io shield but it's not something a ricer should neglect.

yes a mouse will crawl inside and take a shit all over your motherboard
>>52153060
It was my GotY the instant I saw it had a "chest bounciness" slider
>>52153038
both
take monitor 1 and plug it into the connections on the motherboard
take monitor 2 and plug it into the card.
either you already did that or the picture is wrongly illustrated
>>52153038
>i-it's dangerous not to have one?
It isn't that dangerous, there are PCs from way back that didn't use the damn things or really cheap cases that shipped without one. But it's nice to have as a ward against dust and there is a risk of shorting if you don't have one.
I got seriously worried about dust after moving away from pre-builts and assembling my own PC, I dust at least twice in a month since it's dry and dusty where I am.

>>52153076
ok, all this did was reverse the roles of the monitor. monitor #1 is now useless and monitor #2 has all my shit. xrandr is exactly the same as it was. any ideas?
i tried booting with both monitors attached to the mobo, and it just resulted into both screens being 'useless'. when i boot up normally it does the starting version popup for a second then it sends me to the terminal. on 'useless' monitors it gets stuck at that stage.
>>52151484

>>52153127
I like it
where's that one nigga who always asks how everyone's day has been going
i need him to bless me with that pape f.am
>>52153209
You have to plug both into the card so get a dvi adapter or dvi cable
>>52153209
honestly, i can hardly tell what is wrong due to this being such a rare case.
all i can say is to completely re-install xorg and xrandr
if that doesn't work, consider looking on the BIOS settings for graphics output priority (or something similar to that)
>>52153241
he shouldn't need to. the output should work for all connections
>>52153225
thanks. I sourced that from telecontars classic mac icon collection and the rest of the status stuff from old windows/mac os/broken classic default theme. there are a few odds and ends I gotta tie up tho
>>52153209
Is the only thing stopping you from using the DVI port on the GPU a plug converter?
>>52153245
So set CPU integrated graphics and GPU to work together in BIOS system agent is what you meant for him?
>>52153283
add a little terminal padding and bring the font size down 1
>>52153279
kinda, but not really.
often, the BIOS will give you the option of PCI card over PCIe
changing that has helped me before, but there might be the option you mentioned
>>52153257
how do I rice El Cückpitan?
>>52153308
you install getnoo
>>52153245
i'll try to look and see if the bios holds the solution. thanks so much!
>>52153260
yeah, pretty much. i'll probably end up having to order one.
Anyone else that can't be bothered to rice anymore, but still enjoy going through these threads? Spent hundreds of hours of my life ricing to the max and all I received was a little self-satisfaction, impressing some of /g/ and /w/, and "Wow, anon. How do I use your computer?" from friends and family who occasionally use it.
>>52153301
Should be a setting that allows output from both CPU and GPU in BIOS. By default when the GPU is installed it overrides the CPU graphics completely, but in some drop-down menu there should be a setting with "both" as an option.
>>52153330
>"Wow, anon. How do I use your computer?" from friends and family who occasionally use it
There are some things you don't share. Now post your desktop.
>>52153340
