https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dmenuquote:dmenu is a fast and lightweight dynamic menu for X. It reads arbitrary text from stdin, and creates a menu with one item for each line. The user can then select an item, through the arrow keys or typing a part of the name, and the line is printed to stdout. dmenu_run is a wrapper that ships with the dmenu distribution that allows its use as an application launcher. "essential thing" i've never even heard of this poo poo before today ffs just use gnome like what passes for a linux-desktop-having normal person. or don't complain when you have to manually set that sort of thing up. how much do you want to bet the author of this dmenu thing has Systemd Opinions

tried to set up a fedora vm during an internet outage. the only image I had to hand was the fedora server 23 iso all worked fine actually, the point of this story is that it appears, from what I can see, that the fedora server iso includes packages for extreme tux racer

Mr Dog posted:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dmenu wasn't really complaining. just kinda like lol since steamos is debian based so was hoping it'd go well. dmenu is good though. b0red fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Mar 31, 2016 |

so apparently iwlwifi and/or the firmware for the Intel it might be loading the wrong, older firmware version? or the adapter doesn't support new firmware versions and it's trying to load a new one? or there's something wrong with the PCI bus?? possible solutions I've seen people suggest/try with varying success:
i'm just going to install the fedora 24 alpha and hope they changed something. I think I have an old router somewhere, so if that doesn't work I'll just set it up as a wifi client and connect to it via ethernet we need  but for linux

Linux on a laptop is a miserable experience unless it's a thinkpad. Even then, it's not that good. Please don't even get me started.

I'm actually having more problems with Fedora now than I did with Fedora Core 1 and when I used that I had to go to school to download rpm dependancies onto a cd-rw each day because my parents still had dialup. every day I'd have a new set of dependencies, caused by the previous set

It's worked fine for me on the dell and asus laptops I've had. Sleep/resume, external monitor support, sd card adapter... not to mention sound and video... they work out of the box. But I've known people that have bleeding edge hardware and they need to wait for the next release of their distribution of choice before things work ok.

Maybe I am in the minority but AMD stuff is fine as long as you: 1) Get an nvidia card that nouveau supports 2) Turn off C1E in the bios if you need to Yeah, those can be big caveats for some people but the video card I got for my desktop was $20 or something.

i was sorta down on this whole "linux on the desktop" thing but having something that finishes booting from bootloader to desktop in 13s, including typing my password, is pretty nice. the only computer I've used that's faster is a macintosh SE or SE/30 loading System 6 from a hard drive.
