At least there is always sourceforge or gitlabs.

It's not yet compatible with the 3.14 kernel. The current version in Sid is patched to work with the 3.14 kernel. You can directly install the debs from Sid in wheezy with gdebi without problems, I tested that before backporting them myself to the MEPIS 12 community repo. Or you could install the b...

Hello all. I am trying to install the fglrx driver from Debian Backports on my Debian 7. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6670. /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/13.12/build/make.log spits this error out. DKMS make.log for fglrx-13.12 for kernel 3.14-0.bpo.1-686-pae (i686) Fri Jul 25 09:28:27 CDT 2014 make: E...

I like xfce 4.8.3 in wheezy with the whisker menu. If I'm on old hardware then I like Blackbox.

Steam was down it seems cause the community page would not load. Everything on the steam websites load now and the steam launcher no longer gives me the error. It was on steams end.

I installed steam and for some reason when I boot it up it gives me this error.
My internet is working. What the hay is going on here?

What graphics card are you returning? Perhaps elaborate on "I had trouble working with on Debian stable"...? "Supported" usually means "supported by a proprietary Linux driver". nvidia corp like to pretend that the nouveau driver doesn't even exist. It was an ati radeo...

Can you try the 3.9 kernel from backports - just in case it is a bug in the radeon driver/dri? Have you checked bug reports e.g. for xserver-xorg-video-radeon, xserver-xorg-core, flashplugin-nonfree...? //edit: By the way, I'm sure that youtube supports HTML5 - so no need for the flash crapware... ...

Anything relevant in /var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors at the time of the freeze? What version of Flash in installed (type about:plugins in Iceweasel's address bar)? [1] What version of Iceweasel? [2] [1] 11,2,202,291 / 11.2 r202, using flashplayer-mozilla [2] 22.0-1~bpo6...

This happens at total random (and happens often enough that it's making me yell at the computer in pure rage) but when I'm watching a youtube video, it randomly dedcides to lock up on me. Can't exit full screen mode, the video freezes, the audio freezes, EVERYTHING FREEZES! I use the flashplayer-non...

Everybody

I think I may get the graphics card from think penguin. Anyone tried it out? Is it any good?

Hello, I am returning a graphics card that I had trouble working with on Debian stable, now I'm looking for a new one. But I do not know which one to choose.Should I get an nvidia or ati? Should I get the graphics card from Think Penguin? The most resource intensive game I play is Team Fortress 2 on...

Because it works. Plain and simple.

Good ol Debian Wheezy with XFCE 4.8

that didn't do anything.

Yes but they involved editing a xinitrc (which I do not have) or some download link that is clearly not a patch, (patches are in .diff format) which lack any kind of documentation on how to install it what so ever, and only by trying to figure it out just causes compilation issues for dwm.

I know this is a stupid question but I can't figure this out. How to I add a clock to the dwm bar?
