The small linux problem thread

Sorry to ask, but how do I do this exactly? I tried setting autospawn = yes/no line in the pulse client config, and I do not believe it changed anything (I did reboot). Should I just uninstall pulse?

Well did you try the alsa output device in VLC? It might not even be a pulseaudio problem.

Anyways go .config/pulse in your home dir and make a file called daemon.conf and add the line avoid-resampling = yes to it. You can also try another resample-method.

Understood. I use Arch as my secondary/gaming system. It is not recommended for new-to-unix types, but it is not that bad. You just have to respect some rules and you will be fine. I always recommend Debian otherwise. I run Debian SID as my main.

I am going to say something else is going on and menulibre seems to just be a casualty.

New day, new problem, lol
(and before i even continue, apologies for a third post within two days…)

Am trying to build a package, got the ‘already exists’ warning+abort. So i re-tried using “makepkg -esic”, after which i get a new error! Awesome!

Why aren’t the spoilers working? No typing errors…

you never added one?

what works better is three backticks beginning and end.

I did read it… and after the third time, i gave up :slight_smile:
(three backticks also did nothing, but… hey, it’s me. Sorry!)
Oh, code works! nice.

Look at the lines where it says hunk failure.

I’d think i’m looking at it, but if i’m supposed to come up with something, it’s not working. I will forego looking and escalate to staring though.

Can you post lines 12 and 30 here?

I know what you’re asking, it’s what i’d have looked for had i known where/how to go about it :slight_smile:
I didn’t have a stroke, am just new to this. I only found one google result that seemed to pose a solution, but i lack the knowledge to understand it, lol

You’re using ` right?

On a US keyboard it’s on the same key as ~ but I’m not sure about other layouts.

I’d ask “where”, so the answer is presumably no?

Hmm. Your keyboard may not have it. :confused:

I’ve edited your post to include the backticks.

You were using single quotes, which look awfully similar in a lot of fonts.

My bad perhaps, i meant use ` where? I don’t understand the question.

  • this is like the joke with the blowjobs, isn’t it, lol

Yes, that’s exactly it.

Oh, in the post formatting. :confused: Sorry! I’m debugging a different issue lol

I wouldnt know lol

Has anyone here experienced a concern with the fan speed on Fedora as opposed to Ubuntu or Arch? I just reinstalled Fedora 31 to my laptop with Intel/Nvidia graphics. I’ve noticed that when using the open-source drivers, the fans seem to get ‘stuck’ at a high idle as opposed to Ubuntu which are silent.

I woke up this morning to my laptop singing in the corner… This has happened for as long as I’ve had the laptop and tried to use Fedora; it has always drove me back to Ubuntu for fear of wearing out the fans prematurely.

Hey,I don’t have an answer for you, but a genuine question, do you mostly leave your laptop plugged in to power?
If so, did you remove the battery?
Just wondering how laptop batteries cope with the constant charge/discharge nowadays

Hey! I’ve got a System76 Oryx Pro (Oryp3) and have had it for about three years now. I leave it plugged up most of the time, but I have enabled a setting in the BIOS called Flexicharger. Using this feature, the battery begins charging at 40% (lowest) and stops charging at 60%. I’ve noticed very, very little degradation of the battery.
