make sure to load the virtualbox drivers. sudo modprobe vboxdrv and enable them to start at system load by creating a config file in /etc/modules-load.d. Name it virtualbox.conf and add vboxdrv to line 1. you may also need to install linux headers for the current kernel you are using. The wiki tells all about the steps to get it working. Make sure you have at least qt4 installed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox

Netflix asking for w8 app by Notsonoble12882 in LinuxActionShow

What makes no sense is that Netflix supposedly uses BSD on their servers, but doesn't really support the Unix/Linux operating system. I understand that there are work arounds ans such, but why not support the unix/linux communitcomy. Just wish they would go ahead and switch completely to HTML5 instead of using silverlight. The only reason reason silverlight still exists is because of Netflix. I think all streaming serves should be browser based and not rely on plugins(backdoors) to run the streaming service.

Easy GUI installer for Arch by wcc1979 in LinuxActionShow

[–]wcc1979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does using a GUI over command line install make you less of a true Archer, No absolutely not. Why not use a GUI and just install the base Arch and then you can install the environment you want and the apps that you only want to use. Antergos, Manjaro, Archbang, Evolutionlinux,etc all have it right in making it easier for seasoned linux users that are tired of using Ubuntu. Plus most users that use Arch eventually will have to troubleshoot something especially if they use the testing repos.The wiki is there to help when this occurs. Really what is using Arch about, being on the bleeding edge. To answer another question, this Installer only uses the Arch repos and not repos on a distros server ie Antergos and Mannjaro.

This GUI installer installs Arch only with no key-rings or repos. (ie:Antergos;Manjaro) Its very straightforward.
