How come when changing a window's size in Openbox, it changes by pixel for any window that's not a terminal but for terminals it will resize in bigger increments? For example my firefox window is about 1200x1000 but urxvt is 144x66 at the same size.

Oh I understand, so that you always get the full line of text. Thanks.

>>58173250
for that, programs like urxvt send so called "window hints", these can be problematic sometimes in tiling window managers - if the wm respects these hints, the terminal can be slightly larger or smaller than other windows to be able to draw the full line

dwm wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. So, I changed the source code. And I fixed my problems.

>>58174243
ended up making a file called ".Xresources" in my home folder and putting "Xft.dpi: 150" in it
after restarting lightdm, text was actually decent size.
now i just need to make the tiny mouse cursor bigger. i guess i can just download a custom cursor.

I'm technically on Arch, just saying. Antergos is cool, basically Arch for lazy people, and just werks.

>>58174367

And even if you didn't know how to program computers you could have hired a programmer, exercised freedom 1 to give her a copy of the computer program's source code, asked her to exercise her freedom 2 to modify and improve the computer program, and then exercise her freedom 3, giving you an improved version of the software and fulfilling the work order. Even users who cannot program computers are freed from the control of the software author :). God bless free software and merry Christmas.

Why is it so hard to install ubuntu

I've tried several different versions, multiple usbs, multiple programs to make boot usbs.. closest i got was kubuntu which installed then when i rebooted it had changed my boot usb. Seemed like it had install on the usb and wiped my main hdd..

Computer was running fine on windows 7 so i doubt it's a hardware problem but most of the time my screen comes up with multicoloured squares and an error code "radeon stalled ring"

Any tips?

I've had this problem for a while with xdg-open where sometimes when I open something with it, the program will keep on infinitely creating subprocesses until the machine runs out of memory and finally crashes.

Any idea what's causing it, and what I could do to fix it? It happens every time when I click somebody's link from Steam chat - instead i have to copy-paste the link to a web browser. It also happened today when trying to open a .pdf file from Firefox and accidentally opening it with winebrowser instead.

I'm using Manjaro by the way, with i3.

Im running a ubuntu baremetal on my server for recording audio samples, torrenting and some other random services.

I need to run a VM suite on top of ubuntu to run multiple VMs of an operating system so i can record more samples since its limited to 1 instance of the recording software because its super fucking hacked together.

Whats the best VM software that i can run headless? i need free.

using kubuntu. everytime I load my account the desktop will be there then crash and just be a black screen with the mouse. I can use alt+f2 to access programs but the desktop is no longer there.
Can't find a straight forward answer to get this solved. Can anyone help? pretty newb to linux.

Xfx R7870 core edition

Have tried ubuntu 16.10, kubuntu, linux mint and have ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS at the moment

Can get to the grub menu but 'try without install' or 'install' will get a screen full of coloured squares and then that error message..

Motherboard is M5A97 asus, through my various google searches of problems i've had, multiple people mentioned UEFI BIOS and nomodeset so i've attempted to alter sertings they've suggested such as CSM and secure boot. This helped actually load a grub menu in some cases but every time i get past that, i end up with the error mentioned

>>58174706
>>58175131
Just got past grub menu to a low res desktop and install menu inserting "nomodeset" when i pressed "e" in grub menu

>>58175207
Thanks, that servers as one fix, thought I would like to prevent this from ever happen again with any file type. Is there no alternative to xdg-open, or some general setting that makes the program not try to open stuff infinitely if it fails as it seems to do with winebrowser?

i installed antergos, and i cannot install anything with an aur client like for example apacker. i try and it says there is no space on /tmp. i google, supposedly rebooting would fix. nope, i tried just simply deleting files in there, nope. there is no entry in fstab because it is using my root partition so i cant resize it i dont think. this is immediately after install too, its not like ive even installed anything so /tmp shouldn't even be half full but there you go. ive installed arch itself many times before and never had this problem, what do

elite being people with too much time on their hands, barrier to entry. of course i will use what is easy to use, but thats shit just because its not what you use and nothing else. you made the assumption that the distribution i was using was shit for plebians; aka the non-elite. how is this not clear, you are baiting?

>>58176084
how is "having too much time on their hands" being "eite"? and why do you think you need to "have a lot of time on your hands" to not use a trash distro?

in what way is this synonymous with "of course i will use a trash distro"? easy to use isn't in any way a description that prohibits something from being non-trash
>you made the correct assumption that the distribution i was using was shit for plebians

Do you really need to compile EVERYTHING? Is it a big deal to have to compile everything? This is on an older X220 so it's not like it's the most powerful computer to be doing this, and I certainly don't want t waste time compiling a package I need at that moment.

Compiling:
"(of a computer) convert (a program) into a machine-code or lower-level form in which the program can be executed."

what the fuck do you think compiling means you Mexican retard? That it means something more ?'ve never seen a dumber user on /g/. You strike me as the kind of user who installed funtoo or maybe got brave and tried LFS for a day, went back to Mint, and now shitpost on this thread daily.

You also posted NO facts, you posted some pretty meaty assumptions and tried to prop yourself by simply stating "i'm right lol." Neck yourself immediately.

You have failed to specify how compile was used wrong, and have presented no arguments to back up that you yourself know what it means. Instead, you resorted to attacking the OP as uneducated and stupid ( >>58179191 ) and repeatedly attacked post quality and glossed over people asking you to clarify what you think it means. (Especially when a definition was presented asking what your definition entails in >>58179397 You completely ignored it and instead went on to bitch about how I did the same to you)

You are failing to address the issue of compiling, and instead have come off as a low quality shitposter. Par for the course on /fglt/ lately

re-read my previous posts (the one your retarded ass is replying to right now and the ones it points to if you mouse over or click (skip your replies though since you already know what you've written)) and you should gain more insight into how he used "compile" wrong. i mean its really not that hard once you think about it and look up a basic dictionary definition. this should be all you need to know to finally get an answer to your idiotic question

yeah ok im done with this bullshit, you're just shitposting. It's obvious it's less of a definition thing and more of a lack of understanding of how software works, and WHY it's wrong is not necessarily something you can open a definition and go "oh that's why" but you're too busy jerking yourself off rather than providing the insight of why it's wrong.

Then you did something wrong or installed a server/core version of Ubuntu

uninstall it immediately and install a better wm. xmonad, i3, dwm just to name a few

oh well i installed it, but i need to install ROS and it requires knowledge of the terminal.

it is running fine, i just need commands for the terminal

>>58183330

I recommend "The Linux Command Line" by William E. Shotts Jr.
It's how I learned. And internet of course.

Don't feel intimitated by the volume of the book.
First part is ~120 pages and that's the part you need most.

There are entire sections dedicated to features you may not need in your life like using VI, and printing documents via the command line (a neat trick at best in this time and age).
I don't know who would use that, maybe a sysadmin but I'm not sure, I never worked in this field.

The most recent version is from July 2013, so large majority of it will apply to contemporary distributions.

>>58183487
Thanks man!
I'll check it out.

>>58183435
hmm... in that case just search in the internet. just type in the things you wanna accomplish and look for an answer. you will gradually build up your knowledge so you'll be able to solve most problems just by pure deduction and rationalism

really? have you discovered some hidden truth about software and how it operates? i think some poeple might be interested in that since it appears that you have made a great discovery! yeah... this ereally makes sense though haha... why would using additional features of your processor impact performace ? yeah... exactly lol

>>58183878
are you retarded?

compiling and executing are two different things

there is no extra CPU features for compiling shit.

what i mean is, using the same compiler on two completely different machines, will give us exactly the same binary, with exactly the same performance

the "i must compile everything from source on my machine because GCC tailors it to my machine" thing is a load of bullshit

i never said different compiler flags, in fact, i thought you'd be smart enough to figure out that's what i meant

of course i meant the same compiler flags you fuck

do you know what a cross compiler is? considering you don't have basic reading comprehension i guess not

>>58184035
what?! im agreeing with you...
i use -Ofast on the python compiler myself to achieve great optimization
are you talking about that???
i use it on arm to generate binaries and they work on x85 (same performace) (using an arm compiler!!!)

you do not need to compile EVERYTHING on your specific machine. you will get no performance gains whatsoever.
