How to get lirc working on Raspbian
I have a Raspberry Pi 2 and I recently wired up an IR receiver. It works fine with mode2 and I was able to create a remote with irrecord. However, I'm having a hard time getting that remote to...

I have a cronjob on my home server that runs an rtcwake command to turn it off overnight, but sometimes I would like to disable that for a night, ex if I'm uploading a YouTube video. Is there any...
So, should I go ahead and install it with the 1024x768 issue, or deal with that now?
nomodeset worked fine...except now I can't go above 1024x768.
I have made a lubuntu 14.04.1 LiveUSB to and am trying to use it on my Dell Dimension 4550. The first time I tried to boot it and selected "Try lubuntu without installing" it gave me an error that...
Based on the responses, I think I'm going to try Lubuntu and possibly Xubuntu.
Lubuntu - 6
Xubuntu - 4
ElementryOS - 2

I have a server which I do not want running overnight. For this I use rtcwake in crontab. I believe it used to work, but now it just stays suspended. It turns off perfectly fine though. I did a test...
My mom is very bad with computers, she can get confused with tasks as simple as copy and paste. She has a very slow laptop. What I would like is a fast, easy to use linux distro. All that it needs to...
I have a similar problem, I have to plug my headphones into the back and my speakers into my DisplayPort monitor because for some reason my front audio is only mono. If you have an HDMI/DP monitor...
I'm looking for one of those all-in-one thingies for the front of my PC. I would like to have at least 2 USB 3.0 ports, 3.5mm Headphone/Microphone jacks, an SD and microSD card reader, and a FireWire...
Oh ok thanks for that little flag, screen does seem confusing but it now serves my needs. Man phpseclib is so weird though. I don't know where I should ask about that. I tried Stack Overflow, but...
This method is not disconnecting other copies of the session, I'm not sure if that is a problem or not, for some reason phpseclib is really hard for me. I managed to get it to write the output of its...
Well something weird happened now, it won't let me connect, but now as I have physical access to the laptop, I went over and opened it, and nothing showed up on the screen. I was still able to use...

What you want is something called Plop boot manager. Burn it to a disk if your computer has a disk drive. This will allow you to boot to USB on any computer. I've used this thing on a Windows 98...
Oh, well it seems to work now consistently, so I guess I should mark this as solved, and you should start your own thread? I think that's how you're supposed to do it.
