Hi everyone, after using many many distro's i finnaly found the distro to use for my main pc. it's gonna be archlinux with awesome. i have it set up right now in virtualbox (installed in ram :P) (atm, i have it also on my main rig). it's extremely fast and it works really good. but i got some problems
[solved]- can't istall dropbox, sudo pacuar -S dropboxd doesn't work for me. i know i can acces the aur. dropbox-experimential also doesn't work.
[solved]- does someone have a nice awesome setup? the stock settings are pretty bad imo. i want my hands on the keyboard so i don't want to use ecscape and superkey etc.
[solved]- i got archey, but i want it everytime i start a terminal. it's something with systemctl but i can't figure it out
[solved]- xterm works good, but it looks horrible. i want it to look something like this but i'm just starting with editing .cfg files for looks. i normally use applications for that i don't want that anymore. http://youtu.be/qq2agqPoLes?t=1m40s
[solved]- conky! i want conky but it's hard to setup. can't find a good page how to set it up. does someone know a good link? EDIT: maybe not conky, but something like conky. something that runs in terminal like archey. i have archey but it doesn't update and it doesn't show cpu load.
[kind of solved]- how to completly remove packages? i installed the wron packages, $ sudo pacman -S mesa xf86-video-vesa. to remove it, i did $sudo pacman -R xf86-video-vesa. i installed $ pacman -S xf86-video-ati . but i don't know if there are still config files or other files in my system. how to check that? i installed the opensource drivers because i wanted to see how they were. i need to game this system so i will probably install the catalyst drivers but $ sudo pacman -S catalyst doesn't work. which repo do i need for that?
[solved]- i installed some packages with pacman and i removed them with pacman -R. but when i cd into /home/(my name)/.config there are some config files. i installed thunar and i removed it. but there is still a thunar config file. there is even a xfce4 config file but i never installed xfce4. there is a chromium file which is correct because i use chromium right now. and there is a pulse file which i don't know what it is.
[solved]- no icons? when i open thunar i don't have icons. i had it on the virtualbox version with the mesa drivers but with the ati opensource drivers i don't have icons. is that a problem?
[solved]- how to open files with a space in terminal. i made a file called random doc.txt . i cd in to the map and i try to open with gedit random doc.txt but then it opens 2 doc, 1 random and one called doc.txt. how can i delete the file ??
-[don't care anymore XD] how to add stuff in the right corner. i want to see if i'm connected with lan or wifi, cpu load, ram usage, swap usage etc.
- how to install packages in /usr or /partition i made. i need the browser on my ssd (/home is on hdd). awesome is installed with pacman and that's installed somewhere in root. i read the arch but still confused. i can't find the line which says were pacman installs packages. i also need to change this for pacaur or is that the same? is pacaur short for pacman aur??
- i allready crashed arch 10 times in an hour orso :). when i launch steam and I add a game folder on a partition ( i allready made a empty folder on the partition) awesome shuts down and i receive an fatal io error :(.
- pacaur -Ss catalyst gives me catalyst-version but when i type pacaur catalyst it doesn't work. why? do i need to get the git and make the package myself? and there are a lot of extras, which ones do i need for a stable game system (r9 290) or do i need to install some if i have problems?
- how hard is it to write a program yourself? i need to change the gpu fanspeed coreclock voltage etc. is it possible to see the cpu load and temperature of a different pc in the same netwerk?
- what are your favorite apps and what do you do after a fresh install?
- i'm probably gonna add some questions later :P
i need help! list keeps growing XD
