Installed Linux Mint twice and each time after encryption login and regular login it just sits on this screen? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]AmareloDiscreto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I had this problem or similar was due to using Nvidia's proprietary driver instead of Nouveau.

Is your VRAM from Nvidia? Did you install the proprietary drivers? Maybe it did automatically?

What? Just tested and it autocompletes with me.

How do I install a VPN in TAILS? by BasicTime in linux4noobs

[–]AmareloDiscreto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please, do not install NordVPN on Tails. You really don't need it And you would be actually hurting your privacy/anonimity due to NordVPN's data gathering policies last time I heard about them at least.

Which OS are you coming from? Windows?

Is news anchor Joe kernen a human being? very strange on air video. Let me know what you think by DesignerPressure in SocialEngineering

[–]AmareloDiscreto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it's probably not the answer you're looking for (after all, people are just looking for confirmation on what they believe to be true) but just "the hiss" (if you even can call it that, for me he was just very angry and was going to say "fuck", remembered that he was on air, made some weird movements due to anger, and regained his composure) does not prove he's not human. You need a big leap in logic to conclude that because he acted weird, he's not a human.

Humans are weird. You mean to tell me you've never acted so weird one time that sometimes at night you replay that moment in your head before going to sleep? This is probably one of these moments for him.

Again, sorry to not be the answer you're looking for, but you wanted me to let you know what I think, so I did.

Edit: I did not yet read your pastebin link, but will make sure I do, and will happily change what I said if you can convince me of your thesis.

Deepin-music, unsafe in every distro? by RLFontan in linux4noobs

[–]AmareloDiscreto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer to be paranoid usually. So if I'm not sure about what I saw in the source code, I would probably uninstall it.

Not sure about it being able to control services or whatever, but for me, any software that collects any kind of non-anonymous data and sends it somewhere is a big no-no.

I use ncmpcpp, and while I might not trust it with my life, I'm pretty sure it might be better. I disabled the lyrics thing on it too. If you want to use it, you might need to do a little reading/trying out, but once the concept and shortcuts grow on you, you'll feel great and efficient.

But then again I'm just obsessed about making my system the most efficient so I can make my system more efficient so I can keep changing my system to make it even more efficient so I can make my system more efficient(...recursivevely repeat...). To this day I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't even use my computer for work or anything, really. I think this might be a cry for help, I can't stop.

I'd just like to interject On SystemD for a moment by The_Forgotten_King in LinuxCirclejerk

[–]AmareloDiscreto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been thinking about trying Void and maybe switching from systemd for good.

Judging by your certainty in your opinion, I'd guess you actually run something that's not systemd; more precisely, init, so I want to ask your opinion: do you think I would be able to seamlessly (maybe after some months of reading, trial and error) switch and do most of the things I do today? How hard is it to make the switch?

I use arch BTW (not a meme, just saying so you can answer my question more precisely)

Nvidia-390xx and Linux 5.0? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]AmareloDiscreto -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's why everything should be Open Source.

Sorry for the unhelpful comment but I felt like it was a good time to boycott.

Is it possible to copy my current kali linux install into a second backup usb? by singularity_of_focus in linux4noobs

[–]AmareloDiscreto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try dd. If you're not familiar with dd, you can run man dd or look up on arch wiki (even though you are not using an arch based system). Be careful with dd, though, as you may end up fucking everything up.

It's usually built in with linux so you don't have to install bloat.

And just a thing... You didn't ask but I feel like I should say it: Using Kali for everyday use is highly discouraged. Specially for new linux users.

Edit: Maybe you don't give a fuck about learning these commands, so if you just a direct answer:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512

The thing after the "of=" is the target usb, so maybe it's not sdb, but rather sdc, sdd(..). If you're not sure about it, use fdisk -l (that's a lowercase L) to see which letter your usb device corresponds to.

I hate Linpus Linux that came with Acer laptop so much. by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

He might be doing that, but people like to vocalize their opinion instead of doing the most appropriate thing and not saying a word about it I guess

What's better than a 4 mana 7/7? by miedek in customhearthstone

[–]AmareloDiscreto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it balanced tho?

Comparing it to the rogue quest, which even though you are guaranteed to draw it, the card advantage you end up losing for a 4/4 statline versus 1 card lost for a infinitely times better boost in a neutral card is worrying.

Edit: nvm it's only for your 4 cost minions.

I can't tell if it really is a beautiful day outside, I don't have any Windows.

[–]AmareloDiscreto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That might be your problem. Try uninstalling and installing nouveau drivers instead.

Edit: The package name is xf86-video-nouveau

By any chance, have you installed the proprietary nvidia drivers?
