It's worth it

Edited:

This keeps happening when I try to install most packages in pacman

Code:

[root@jake-laptop jake]# pacman -S skype

Try clearing your pacman cache
alternatively try making sure that you merged pacman 4.x's new pacman.conf with your current one

I've tried clearing the cache, with no luck. How do I merge them?

If you use vim (or gvim) for editing, then use this command and work out the differences (use gvimdiff if you use gvim).

Code:

vimdiff /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew

WARNING! WARNING! XORG 1.11 VULNERABILITY FOUND, RENDERS A LOCKED SYSTEM UNSECURED!

A Xorg server vulnerability which makes it possible to kill any screensaver / screen locker using the [CTRL + ALT + Multiply] keyboard combination has been discovered yesterday. (multiply is the "*" character on the Numpad)

Doesn't work for me and I'm using SLiM. The screen goes black and loads SLiM back up again.

Are you sure you're using a version of X that has the vuln?

Demache · 20th January 2012

Hmm, just tried this in my Arch VM, and it does in fact work. Sort of odd.

Yep, 1.11.1 has the vuln.

**Niteshifter** · 20th January 2012

Doesn't work for me (probably because I use CDM).

What's a nice music player I can use in the terminal?

Smrtz · 20th January 2012

What window manager should I go with? I'm debating between awesome, fluxbox, subtle, and quarkewm, but other recommendations are welcome. I'm on arch, and my computer is good enough to use any wm. What are you guys using?

Edit:
Also, I use multiple monitors, actually three, with eyeinfinity, if I can get that working under arch...

**esalaka** · 20th January 2012

What did LXDE use again? Openbox?

Yeah, Openbox.

And that's exactly why we will never be able to get out of a frozen fullscreen application without escaping to a fullscreen terminal.

Just make a obscure keyboard shortcut to xkill

So tired of the shit laptops they give us for our computer class, which, when the keys aren't broken off and the wireless router isn't kaput, runs WINDOWS XP, I shall now work off a persistent Ubuntu Live USB.

sorry, I'm not exactly well educated on these things, but how can a CD be persistent? is it rewriteable?

**Elecbullet** · 21st January 2012

Ah shit, meant Live USB.

Edited:

There are guides on making Live CDs persistent I think, they involve putting the persistence file on the hard drive I believe.

CD's can be used as persistent devices too, actually. Windows Vista and up include features for this.

How do I get WINE on Arch Linux?

# pacman -S wine
error: target not found: wine

**doonbugie2** · 21st January 2012

isn't it wine1.3

**esalaka** · 21st January 2012

# pacman -Ss wine

You'll find it

I don't know. I just installed Arch Linux. It's my first serious distro. I got sick and tired of Windows and replaced it completly with Linux.

winegame?

community/winefish 1.3.3-10
LaTeX editor based on Bluefish with auto-completion and syntax highlighting
community/winegame 0.2.0-1
An interface to install windows programs in Wine
community/winestuff 0.2.0-1

EDIT: Disregard that, I suck ducks.
I didn't read everything through in ArchWiki.

Yes, yes it is.

I hope you know Wine can only do DirectX 9 and openGL.

What's a good distro for use on a flash drive?

What?
It cannot do those. It does everything in Software mode, as no translation is done, afaik.
Remember that Wine is not an emulator, but a compability layer.

Yes it supports DX9 and OpenGL.

Yup, everything works fine now, got my wine. Just had to enable multilib.

If you want to install it to a flash drive, something small like arch or debian would be good.

If you want to run it like a live cd, you could go with ubuntu or mint. I believe both of these support persistent storage on flash drives.

I do need some help with enabling my audio, though.

Avoid too much SWAP usage, or if you can, don't create a SWAP partition at all, since it's a lot of read/write all the time from the disk.

And thanks for the tip T3hGaamerDK.
