I have several websites which use autocomplete in their forms. For example, after logging in to an invoicing website I can type in the client field several letters (3-5) and then the box with list of...
This is what I get if I run any kernel newer than 3.14: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx2-Fvihzxg
Those artifacts appear as soon as new kernel is selected in GRUB, and remain after logging into X...
I created a udev rule to run when HDMI is connected/disconnected:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-hdmi_switch.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/home/user/bin/video_switch"
Now, if I run the...
I wanted to see what would be the best performing (for my needs) virtualisation solution. I kept reading KVM outperforms VirtualBox, so I installed KVM and gave it a try. However, the guest system...
Thanks to everyone who answered.
I ended up going for BTRFS with compress-forece=lzo.
Also, beceuse I am using Arch linux, I was able to use Profile-sync-daemon and Anything-sync-daemon to put...
Excellent point. I have not thought of it before.
I went with BTRFS zlib for maximal compression and - because I am using Arch - Anything-sync-daemon which works very well. I still get some...
It is.
Partition layout is like so:
23GB fat32 / 8GB linux with grub (for f2fs there will be additional ext2 partition for /boot)
This is incorrect. Please, read again the BTRFS option. Transparent compression increases the effectual read/write speeds.
On my HDD, with ext4 I used to get up to 60MB/s read/write speeds. With...
I am making an emergency OS usb stick out of SanDisk Fit. It is great because it's tiny, but it is also very slow.
What filesystem would be best for the OS installed on such slow medium? I...
I swear I did this, but I think for another kernel. Now it worked. Thanks.
Thanks, but I did that even before removing Mate.
Not at all.
I mean the plymouth screen where it asks for disk password before it even begins booting.
I have Ubuntu 14.04, but I installed MATE according to this guide to check it out. I quickly decided I don't like it, so I uninstalled it according to that guide.
The problem is, that my system is...
Yes, it makes no difference. Both modes detect partition and both show no files on it
Finally, I bit the bullet and I run
fsck -b 32768 /dev/sdb1 -y -C0 After 2 hours of fixing inodes and other things, it was done. It ended up saying that partition still contain errors, but I was...
This disk is separate from my system disk, so I think there is no need to run LiveCD.
I am afraid of running e2fsck on it because I have been warned that
and e2fsck does the same thing, doesn't...
I'm in trouble. I am trying to recover my main data partition.
Here's how it happened:
sdb1 - 680gb primary partition, ext4, around 300gb of data on it
sdb2 - 60gb primary partition, ext4,...
I have dnsmasq running on my localhost and it works fine with dhcpcd. I made it work by prepending nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf by creating the
/etc/resolv.conf.head file:

I have a proftpd installation which is working fine, except I'd like to change one thing in it - when files are uploaded, the permissions on them are set to the ftp user, and all other system users...
I am having trouble resuming from hibernation using TuxOnIce method.
The thing works, but in a very strange manner. Here's how it looks:

Installation of net2.0 64 goes through, but fails at the end, which I did not notice before. I was still able to run the office 64 installer, but it crashed at around 70%.
So I am no trying to get...
This how-to omits a very important thing - if you have a 64-bit system, it will fail on installation of Net2.0 and MSXML.
Therefore, you need to manually install those two files:...
Thanks, I did something similar and it's working.
