Hi family,

let me know if there is anything of interest (linux related), reviews or guides can be done ... i have a feeling i will have some time on my hands soon to make some youtube clips again.

at the moment i have no mic so they will be music and text based ... but hopefully that will be sorted soon.

Now MrNiitriiX you haven't gone and moved into an oil lamp. Have you?

[OnTheLimit]

That is very generous of you, MrNiitriix - thank you!

I suspect most folks here would favor going the GUI route with Linux, as opposed to working with the CLI.

I would think that perhaps a "How-To" exploration of the resulting Zorin or Mint distro installation would be welcomed by many here... the installation part is dead simple, but there are a myriad of tricks and tips that could be demonstrated in such a vid...

Just my 2c worth. Others will chime in, I'm sure...

never moved out of it


EDIT***

mint or zorin...they are debian/ubuntu derivatives so not sure how to do enything special about those distros ... however if there is something specific that you would like to know im more then happy to help out

I put Zorin 11 on the laptop and played with it for a few days but haven't had time to get back to it.

I did want to ask you about the Manjaro.
I've downloaded the XFCE (not installed yet) but was wondering if I needed the KDE version?

[Akasha]

That's very nice of you MrNiitriiX

Maybe something more complex, like how to install/start with Arch Linux?

XFCE or KDE is personal preference ... but xfce should be a little lighter on the sytem then kde (personally i would go xfce or if you feel a bit frisky then try the JWM from the community releases.)
**edit
KDE, XFCE, etc etc are Desktop environments, so how the tesktop looks and feels. The underlying system (in this case manjaro) is the same.

Its on the list

I'm trying to get SimpleScan to work with NO luck, "unable to scan"
I did search for a solution and i think i found the right one!

I kindly ask for a simple step by step video tutorial for this:

I'm sooo new to Linux and i'm trying to understand how things are working
I'm on wattOS-R10 – LXDE – 32bit http://www.chattchitto.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=68264
Thank you in advance m8...

[MrNiitriiX]

OK cool thank you all for the wishes
on the list:

• Mint / Zorin Install (both with and without custom partitioning/encryption
• Installing SimpleScan (i dont have a scanner so hard to test (might need some help here hahah)
• I will be making both a video on installing arch and compiling your own arch install ISO (these will be in multiple parts and will take some time to do)
• ...more to come

@pantheon , i have no scanner and am not on "ubuntu" but test this

Before you start (i forgot this in video) in terminal type this: sudo apt-get install git
now follow the video instructions


in terminal 1 after the other just like this

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install git
git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev build-essential libsane-de
cd /home/USERNAME/sane-backends
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install
