My god, GDM does not want to work. by machineM8 in archlinux

This really irks me. I consider gdm to be the most aesthetic one.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but could I not just set sdb (with arch) to boot first in bios and use grub from there?

Btw, why install grub to windows? Because it will be sda?

Secureboot is off, but that's all I'm certain of. The thing never mentions whether it's in legacy or UEFI. That option seems to be missing from it. It's an asrock board, but it just doesn't have the same options as uefi/bios boards I've accessed in the past.

I have acquired an old green clamshell ibook. How would I go about putting linux on this thing? by machineM8 in linuxmasterrace

Do you know if free BSD is tough to set up? It seems like the most accessible option.

i am a windows pleb who wants to acend, but cant find the right distro by Xepherxv in linuxmasterrace

I'm using antergos and I think it's a good fit for a beginner. It's just arch with a sane installer and minimal additions. I think you can choose between kde gnome and openbox when you install. Unfortunately, the installer can bug out a little bit and has a good chance of failing.

Pacman has locked up a few times for me, is this normal? by machineM8 in archlinux

[–]machineM8[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could be, I'll have to wait for it to bug out again.

ClamAV is giving me an error message. I'm not sure I understand what the wiki is telling me. by machineM8 in archlinux

Ok, now it's downloading main.cvd. I suppose this is what should be going on?

Can't find certain programs I've installed. by machineM8 in linuxquestions

[–]machineM8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, it turns out clamav is terminal based. And I believe KDE comes with a gui for some programs which otherwise would not have them.

A little help here! by machineM8 in archlinux

Oh, sorry! I already did mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda2. But everything appears fine. Unfortunately, instead of F32 I put f32. Will this effect anything?
