I'm trying to fill out a PDF form on Linux, and for some reason, it's not ticking boxes of the form and the font size to write down information is too big. I don't know how, but on my previous computer running the same Linux OS I could edit PDFs quite easily. What am I missing?
I'd also like to sign this form, not sure how to do that either.

You're probably looking for the stupid answers thread.

>>61968219
It's well-known adobe pdf forms won't work as intended with free software. I've experienced the problem myself.

I've built my computer a few months ago and recently the power button was stuck down (fractal define r5 case) and the computer failed to start. Since then it doesn't start anymore. It started once after I cleaned out some dust and made no other significant changes, but it shut off again about 15 minutes later.

The way it fails to boot is very particular: I dont hear any beeps (although I'm not sure it ever did beep), fans turn on, GPU lights turn on, PSU turns on, motherboard LEDs are on, I can hear my HDD work. The SSD that my case LED is hooked up to does not do anything. I get no signal to monitor.

I've had a similiar problem ~2 weeks before, where the computer would start, but it kept randomly rebooting. It went away after I just shut it off for a night and hasn't made a problem since. It's possibly related.

From reading up I found that it's either my PSU, CPU or Motherboard that's fucked. How could I get a proper idea of which part is broken? I dont have any replacement PSU, CPU or Motherboard to test with.

The thing that really throws me off is that it worked normally for like 15 minutes after dusting it off. I suspected a loose cable but I reconnected everything and it still doesn't turn on properly.

Which programming socks is best when writing python and C?

My neighbor can't afford internet and asked if I could help him out.

Would he in any way at all be able to access anything on my network (if I enabled wireless isolation), also would I be entirely responsible for anything illegal he may do on the internet?

I have a lot of tabs in Firefox, and I'm using tab mix plus to get a scrollable list of 11 horizontally and 3 vertically tabs. I have about 100, so about 3/4 of these. I used to be able to scroll through this list by hovering the mouse over it and using the scroll wheel. After updating firefox to 55.0.2 from some 54 version, it now does nothing. Anybody any idea how to fix this?

Also, I'm using statusbar4ever to get link locations and such in top bar next to the address bar, but after the update that just says "Tekst statusbalk" which is "Text statusbar" in Dutch. And I needed to restore my session from backup after updating. So in short, fuck this update.

Really dumb question: I'm on Linux Mint, and whenever I save a file onto my computer, rather than being able to name the file, the file manager searches for what I type in, so I have to click on the filename AND THEN name it.

1. There's a scan folder option that comes up at launch or if you click "Source selection" at the top. If all your videos are in the same directory you can add them all at once, select your encoding profile on the right, then add all of them to the job queue.
2. Really depends on your encoder settings. Pick a clip with a fast moving scene or one with lots of visual noise (e.g. a snowy scene), click the Preview button and make a 10-30 second encoding. Then go back and tweak the video settings to something as low or high as you can stand. Repeat this process until you're happy with the video quality/file size ratio.

Not necessarily. ffmpeg works also works on the botnet.

CRF is the constant rate factor. Basically smaller means better quality but larger file size. I suppose it doesn't really matter in this case.

Quick rundown:
* Compiler: the thing that reads your code and returns an (in C++'s case) executable.
* IDE: What visual studio is, comes with loads of features, has a text editor built in.
* Text Editor: Any program you can edit text in, most come with syntax highlighting for all the big languages.

Code::Blocks is a good alternative to visual studio.
But if you just want a simple text editor check out Notepad++ or Atom.

There's a guide on ffmpeg wiki for using 2 pass encoding when shooting for a target file size.
You have to remember to include audio and video when calculating you're bitrates.

Not using Windows. Seriously, I don't know what else to really say. You've got enough RAM and even an SSD in there. It's just an old dual-core processor and there's not much you can really do about that. At least Linux will give you enough control over your desktop environment and background processes to really cut down on idle resource usage. That frees more up for Facebooking. But when you open a modern web page it's going to spike and that's just the nature of the beast.

What is the difference between source based programs and binary programs?

>>61970851
...none? Unless people out there are really authoring entire programs in 0s and 1s, they're writing some kind of source code first. Then the program is compiled to a binary executable of some sort for use. Sometimes the source code is made freely available, other time it's not.

Hi. I'm going through SICP, for those of you who have read it what kind of notes did you take? (if any) I'm unsure as to what I should be memorizing.
Also is Guile a good interpreter for testing your code?

>>61971032
Remember how I said that when someone writes a program in source code, it's compiled into a binary executable of some sort? You can decide to do that yourself if the source code is made available to you.

To clear up what I expect is your confusion, Gentoo can use binary package installation too. It's just that real men compile their own source code. Like men. Rawr.

Each packet has a header that includes its destination.

how can you know for sure that a software's open source is the actual source of the software? like can't they just lie and say that it's the source code or is that not how it works

>>61971032
this is not a trivial question to answer, arch maintainers could have differences in source code used to compile (think downstream bugfixes) or extra patches applied compared to what gentoo provides which, usually, is straight from upstream, besides those differences the configuration files provided by both distros will package things differently

now for why it's not a trivial question to answer: on gentoo *you* compile it, *you* set cflags, you'll have different versions (/optimisations) of the compiler, etc, you're basically asking if a lego house provided prebuilt is going to be different from a lego house you build when you have all the parts of the prebuilt house and some loose pictures to go off of, you might opt to not build a room or decide to build a room a little differently, etc

some distro maintainers choose to modify packages or provide their own bugfixes that eventually make it upstream but because this is labour intensive many distros just package upstream in their own way, sometimes when distro maintainers mess with packages it can cause more problems than it's worth - https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/05/random_number_b.html
but if arch linux maintainers don't modify packages and they're using the same source versions that gentoo provides (i.e., stable, release candidiates, etc) then the only difference should be the cflags you choose to enable while compiling and standard distro packaging (/conf) differences

basically, nobody can really answer this unless the arch maintainers tell you how they compiled the program or unless they tell you how they compiled it, on gentoo you can look at the officially provided ebuilds (which will be comparable to aur packages) to verify what they've done but afaik nothing like this exists for most major distros (arch included)

coincidentally this is why you have to report kernel bugs to your distro maintainer if you're not using the vanilla kernel because most big distros modify the kernel

they have a table where they list devices to show support, for v1 the support is:

however for v2 nothing is listed under "OpenWrt Version Supported" which means it's not supported

additionally, if you scroll down to WNDR3400v2 you'll find the following

>>61971257
1) Compile the source.
2) Check what's called a "hash" of what you just compiled. It's like a digital fingerprint.
3) Check the hash of the actual software. As long as you picked a good hash, the two results will only be identical if the two files are identical.

Also it really doesn't matter. What are they going to do, slip something into the source code or break a feature? You have the source code. You can read it yourself to find those things.

>>61971448
Was that supposed to be a joke or something? It doesn't even make sense as one.

>>61971421
Not really a reliable method, the same source will often compile with a different hash.

>>61971421
I don't think checking the hash is practical. Unless you're on exactly the same system and compile with the exact same compiler, flags, etc. the hash will be different.

Is there a way to cut a webm in ffmpeg starting and ending at specific frames instead of keyframes without re-encoding and shoah'ing the entire video?

>>61971174
is it stuck like that or what? have you ever compiled something like firefox on that distro before you had your ryzen chip?

for some comparison, on a i7-5820k at 4.2ghz (when stock it should be comparable to your 1700) firefox takes 20 minutes to compile on gentoo on a ramdisk, it takes 40 minutes to compile with pgo enabled (double compilation for optimisation), I know someone with a 6800k which claims it takes 10 minutes to compile firefox (definitely without pgo) but I suspect this is a blatant lie or that they've never actually timed it

compiling something like firefox/chrome is going to take far longer than everything else and has huge disk space requirements (10gb free for temp files), for some comparison the linux kernel only takes 8~ minutes to compile for me

You have to take in consideration 2 things.
That it uses 3D NAND (3D TLC or 3D MLC).
That it uses NVMe and not SATA in M2.

Otherwise its just a expensive SATA SSD.

m.2 is just a mini pcie connector, m.2 to pcie adapters are almost entirely passive socket converters, if your motherboard/cpu/chipset supports nvme then you can use nvme ssds but some mobo implementations are shit and won't allow booting from nvme ssds but usually they say if this is the case, both of my mobos (although both on x99 platform) have supported booting from nvme ssds without explicitly saying that they will but it's not something that you'll find out until you try, the support page from your mobos manufacturers website should have ssd support lists and if they list any nvme ssd then it's likely to work

as far as x8 goes, m.2 is x4 at most, it doesn't matter what pcie slot you put it in so long as that slot is configured for at least x4 but if you can put it in a gen3 slot then you should do so as gen3 x4 has double the bandwidth of gen2 x4, on high end nvme ssds this may make a difference in performance

>>61971763
>Yes, is it worth it? no.

that's *entirely* subjective and people have been saying this since faster than 100mbps~ ssds have been released, if you don't have a use case for faster ssds that's fine but quit lying to people by saying the price difference isn't worth it when there's almost no price difference between ahci and nvme ssds, you can't just compare apples and oranges by comparing different models of ssds that happen to be either sata and nvme respectively as usually the nvme exclusive ssds tend to use mlc flash instead of tlc and tend to have far better controllers, you have to compare the same models use the same flash chips and only differ in whether they have nvme or ahci controllers (which usually is just oem ssds like the samsung sm951, the consumer version of this ssd is the 950 pro)

as for whether it makes a difference you do have a bit of a point there as os loading speed is more bottlenecked by cpu/ram/etc once you have an ssd but it really isn't the only thing you tend to use ssds for, pic related

This is somewhat /g related, cant think of another board this question would belong on
My friend bought a shitty desktop vape for weed, but it doesnt get nearly hot enough. The store wont give refunds, and no one wants to buy it. I want to mess with it and see if i can make it work better. Ive never done anything like this though, so i doubt it. I still want to try because it seems fun. The glass part on the far right has a metal rod in the middle, it looks like the rod gets hot and a fan blows air into the chamber. Im assumimg this is where the issue is, hot air isnt going to vaporize anything. Any ideas?

where do I start if I want to be a DBA master?

The weed goes on the right with the colored glass, it connects to the glass surrounding the metal rod, and theres a fan at the back that isnt even connected to the chamber, it just pulls air into the box.

Most likely won't boot without some difficulty, you'd need to use a bootloader such as Clover starting from a different drive to first load the NVMe driver.

The investor apparently accumulated enough shares covertly, to stage the takeover, but those shares were then seized by the New Zealand government -- Dotcom alleges. "Which means the NZ government is in control. In addition Hollywood has seized all the Megashares in the family trust that was setup for my children.

If you have any porn on there, don't bring it. Law enforcement will use any excuse to confiscate your machine, which will be repurposed or sold or "destroyed" at their discretion. Encryption is a red flag and will almost certainly have the same result. From a "better safe than sorry' perspective you should absolutely leave it at home, or get rid of all your porn because collecting porn is a counterproductive habit.

I don't think law enforcement gives a shit about your pirated media. However, my post is contingent on the claim that you don't have illegal content on your machine. If you do, I don't condone that and believe you should stop immediately.

What's my best bet? I'm kinda illiterate when it comes to these things, I never bothered learning Word or Excel, all I use daily is notepad. For my lists so far I've been using the private message system of some forum I used to go a long time ago because I like the formatting there, but I realized this couldn't go on, although I have my shits back up it's kinda pathetic I have to rely on a tier website to help me doing something as seemingly simple. Please suggest me stuff.

What the hell are the bits called that you screw onto the sides of internal hard drives so you can slide them into the bays? I need to buy some extras but I don't know what to look up.

I'm having my doubts. Then again, I don't even know if it actually works either.

My desktop is turning off suddenly without any notice. Sometimes it lasts 2 minutes, sometimes 30. No BSODs, it just turns off. I get a Kernel Power error in event viewer. Is this likely the PSU failing?

I need software recommendations. I'm always hesitant to trust whatever google tells me because popularity doesn't always = good.


I have a few things I wanna accomplish but I'm unsure how to go about it efficiently


[Problem 1]
>Lots of installed programs
>Wanna mass execute
>Unsure which "windows something something" actually matter
>Uninstalling one thing at a time is slow and shitty

Any good software for clearing out unnecessary shit?

[Problem 2]
>Lots of backed up pictures and video
>Mostly from phone
>Need to mass organize
>dupe detection would be great
>tired of filenames being 123_356_100shit_12
>dont wanna manually rename all of my boob pictures to
>>xboobs01
>>xboobs02
>>yboobs01

I need mass organization bad

[Problem 3]
>Slow startup
>Good specs
>Probably bloat, years ago i used soluto
>soluto sold out
>alternatives?

[in summation]
I probably just need to do a clean install and spend a few hours manually sorting my pictures and shit

however, any advice on how to do this shit in a more time efficient manner would be great

you could do this in google docs really easily

instead of a program you could make a bookmark or a shortcut to your doc

the only con would be that youd have to use your browser instead of something lean and clean like notepad

I don't remember what I installed but it involved openssl and now I keep getting a bunch of errors

I get errors when I try to update like this

So i went out and bought an ssd
Can i install windows onto it from a disk without having a functioning computer?
Do i need to format it or something?

I was dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 10 with GRUB. Removed the Windows partitions and resized the Ubuntu partition to fill the space using GParted Live. Now I have no bootloader. Only boot option in the BIOS is the EFI shell.

How can I restore GRUB?

>>61978176
Boot to a live CD, chroot in to your HDD, install and update grub.
> Only boot option in the BIOS is the EFI shell
Errr? It should let you try to boot to HDDs even if they don't have a bootloader on them.

ASUS, Acer or MSI

which one delivers better quality?

>>61977962
get a ssd

>>61978321
I would recommend asus if you live in Taiwan.

Yeah when you format your post like that no one is going to help you, try asking each problem in its own post in a quick format if you actually want good solid answers. plus this thread is already at bump limit.

>I probably just need to do a clean install and spend a few hours manually sorting my pictures and shit
Pretty much that, You're saying your install is bloated and you want faster bootup times, a fresh install would help and be the easiest thing to do.
Since you're already used to reddit you could just search for "duplicate photo fixer reddit" and see what they recommend.

>dont wanna manually rename all of my boob pictures
sort all boob pictures into a folder, go into that folder, search for "*.jpg" ctrl+a then right click rename them to boobpictures and done.

>>61978100
You can boot into a windows installer from a flash drive or use a windows CD if you have one around, You dont need to format the SSD before install and you dont need to do anything in windows to use the SSD, windows is smart and will change settings to optimize for an SSD.

>sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

what am i doing wrong?

>>61978294
chroot'd and ran

grub-install /dev/mmcblk0

:

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

So I guess I was not supposed to delete the EFI partition. I made a new one with GParted: 512M fat32 EFI System Partition with boot flag. Formatted with

mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/mmcblk0p1

.

Back in chroot, ran grub-install again: same error.

>>61978529
Where do you think you are?

>>61978592
Oh and I mounted the ESP at /boot inside the chroot. No change in grub-install.

Aha! That worked, thanks.

Weird, the Arch Wiki says /boot rather than /boot/efi.

Hey /sqt/ quick question

Is the performance between laptop CPUs substantial?

>Intel i7-6700HQ Sky Lake
>Intel i7-7700HQ Kaby Lake

Trying to decide if the extra money for 7700HQ is worth it.

>>61978766
It also says
>While some distributions require a /boot/efi or /boot/EFI directory, Arch does not.
Because they have their custom --efi-directory arg to pass to grub-install.

why don't most motherboards have bluetooth these days? it's seems like a very useful and cheap addition

>>61976212
Why bother with a separate boot SSD if you have a 1TB for games?

>I want all my games on max settings
>I still only have a 1080p monitor
is a GTX 1080 overkill? will the 1070 do all games ultra quality at my resolution?

>>61978778
How much more does the 7700 laptop cost here?
They're both rather similar, same for their iGPU. A quick google search will tell you how much mhz different there is between the two.

>>61979005

Yeah a 1070 is pretty much all you need and it hits a sweet spot for price/performance for gaming.

>>61979005
I have a 7700k and a 1070 and I average 110 FPS on BF1 in full Ultra. Low PFS in the 85-90. It's more than enough, but if you can get a 1080 for around 400 then you should get it over a 350 bucks 1070 as it'll be more "future-proof".

If you want to stay at 1080@60hz though just go 1070.

>>61979032
>>61979036
thank you both. The build I'm doing is with a 7700k so that was helpful in particular.

>>61979054
I would wait for comparisons between the 7700k and the 8700k if I were you. Coffee Lake is around the corner.

>>61979054

Then I would suggest waiting for the coffee lake CPU lineup. nVidia is also poised to release a refresh of 1070 with more memory which may or may not be branded as 2070

>>61979082
The 1070 already has 8GB which is more than enough for today's standards though. Most people still only have 4GB VRAM, devs wouldn't go ahead and go crazy with the graphics requirements in my opinion if it would end up making suffer 80% of the people.

>>61979071
>>61979082
ok thanks. I'll do that. im just planning ahead, my i7-3770, gtx970 rig is doing fine.

What would be the best way to accurately track views per page/total site without using a huge analytics suite? Site isn't monetized and never will be, I just want to get an idea of how many people are viewing content and maybe have a reference to where they were linked from that would destruct identifying information (like IP, fingerprint, etc).

>>61979108
I don't necessarily regret my 7700k because Ryzen wasn't even out and I absolutely needed to upgrade as I had no computer anymore, but still a part of me is still sad this is the CPU I had to go with at the time considering Intel is releasing a 8 cores version of it within the same year... So unless the 7700k ends up beating the 8700k like it beat the 6 cores Skylake-X I would recommend you to not make the mistake of upgrading to a 7700k, especially if you already have an i7 from 3th gen, it won't be a big upgrade.

Have you considered Ryzen otherwise? Like a R7 1700.

>61979133
>a 8 cores version of it
shit, meant 6.

>>61979133
ive looked a little, but my prejudices have gotten in the way. I thought that AMD made the meme tier CPUs. they are comparable to the 7700?

>>61979153
Do your researches. There are a lot of benchmarks over Youtube etc. Folks over /pcbg/ will happily shill AMD for you too.

>>61979112
Your webserver logs.

>>61979174
That's not only tedious, but inaccurate. That would only track page loads/requests.

I installed Ubuntu (elementaryOS) on my mom's computer a long time ago and for the most part it's done everything she needed it to do. She's considering getting her first smart phone and wants an iPhone. Are they compatible with Linux in a way that normal people can use? Primarily just moving images off and on.

Do lga775 motherboards come with a backplate? I'm selling the mobo, and removed an aftermarket cooler that came with a backplate, but now i can't find the original backplate, if there is one. Google images only shows the front of the mobo.
