Trying to install Gentoo for the first time.
I got it all working, changed some USE Flags, did emerge -avDN @world, everything went fine.
I reboot, login, and startx now goes to a black screen with the LXQt mouse cursor.
Ctrl+Alt+F2 for console doesn't work now. I'm able to chroot using the Gentoo install ISO and can run emerge from that to fix packages.
What do you think has been damaged by update? X? Display Drivers? LXQt? The Kernel?
Or is it a USE flag problem?

Install windows
>>53442154
I've narrowed the problem down
The screen goes full resolution to desktop, wallpaper, icons
The mouse will move, click will run, but cannot click anything
Is this an X problem?
>startx now goes to a black screen
typical X
What type of digital signal is this, also /g/enral radio thread.

I can't make anything out from the audio.
Looking at the waterfall though, there seems to be a PSK31 transmission happening at 463.15MHz. Is that what you're trying to pick up?
is VR a fad?
Everything is a fad.
Get over it.
Maybe, but this ten dollar cardboard box is quite nifty
For now, yes. It's too bulky and doesn't really add anything to a game experience. Kinda like 3d. Cool fad, not really useful. It might have some specialized use like certain job training, therapy, etc but not home use.
Now when small see-through HMDs are finally on the market we might see increase use. Those would actually have use. You could wear them without looking like a fucking goober, you can see through so you're not blind to the world or walking around with 1/2 second lag on everything. There are real-world applications such as non-distracting GPS directions, secondary displays, job training (better than VR since there's no lag, no looking through a small camera FOV)
Hey /g/.
I'm trying to upgrade my computers RAM but it keeps beeping when I try to turn it on and it stays at a black screen. I just bought these new RAM slots so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any idea?
Might not be optimized for your system
call geeksquad
>>53440988
That's what I'm starting to think. The mother fucker at Fry's that sold me it must not have had a fucking clue what the right RAM was.
What is your GPU history and your thoughts for the future of GPUs /g/?
I think both nVidia and AMD nailed it this gen, the 970 issues notwithstanding nVidia definately won the final DX11 war but due to optimisations to do that the current batch of nVidia products are ill equipped for DX12 and Vulkan where AMD is currently shining - it's interesting to see the different approaches play out.
nVidia's gambit paid off the best financially though and while AMD is currently riding high, nVidia has shitloads of R&D capital and a new generation of products designed around compute again coming very soon - Pascal vs. Polaris is gonna be a bloodbath for both sides and that's fucking awesome for us.

AMD is fucked unless they fix the CPU overhead issue and stop this rebranding nonsense, i'll gladly take 3.5gb over buying a 3 year old GPU that shit outs more heat than a nuclear reactor.
>>53441133
nVidia has done its own fair share of rebranding (G80 family was used from 8000 series through 400 series...)
CPU overhead is fixed with DX12 as evidenced by the recent DX12 titles.
But DX11 will forever be broken and while that might not seem like an issue now, in 8 years time when we're all using 8K monitors/VR headsets, AMD's dx11 support will still be limited to a single core so playing todays nice DX11 games at ultra high res will be a shitshow on AMD, where nVidia will play it just fine.
What's /g/'s opinion on Discord?
It's alright.

Adobe Systems released new versions of Flash Player in order to fix 18 critical vulnerabilities that could be exploited to take over computers, including one flaw that's already targeted by attackers.

shameless security bump
adobe urges users to update their flash players
and linux users that don't use flash, well, just point your finger and laugh
>people think this is news
18 critical vulnerabilities in Flash just sounds like a normal Friday. This is why people who insist on continuing to use it look like retards.

Does It Improve Performance?
It's like SSD caching but with a shitty flash drive.

If you have a bad computer, maybe
How is it? Is it worth replacing my LG G Stylo and moving from T-Mobile?
>>53439734
No issues here; the coverage is mostly the same as when I had T-Mobile (the networks Fi leases are T-Mobile and Sprint), the price is good and the automatic WiFi VPN is a nice touch.
>>53439849
Explain the wifi vpn pls
Shat is project fi and does it welcome unlocked phones
>tfw you fell for the Android meme
sage it goes in the option field.

what's better faggot
lol me 2
c++ or java? which should i learn as my third language
>>53439341
