The basic steps are just to (pwd must be inside the folder)./configuremakemake installWill work in a pinch, but it might not be set up the way you want, it's just the standard build. When you build from source there might be options you'd want to disable/enable. Just compiling without knowing shouldn't be standard procedure.Also doing it that way won't actually make a "package" that is installed, won't be listed with the rest of installed packages. Probably are tools to make a package as the build process, but they are distribution-particular so no idea what it'd be under Manjaro.Best option would be to keep to things available through your package manager as much as possible unless you reallly need a newer version or program that isn't on there.Also if you're gonna into Linux it'd probably be a good idea to get into the habit of actually googling things first, both cause stuff like this has already been asked by every other beginner, and you won't have to wait around for answers."install tar.bz2 manjaro" on google gets you loads of different variations of the same answer.Have a practice run by figuring out how you make a package from source under Manjaro.

I have a quite large collection of porn in high quality that takes up a lot of space, and recently I got to thinking it´s actually kinda unnecessary cause most of them there are just certain segments and part it is I´m saving them for. But I´m also horrified at the thought of losing quality from my permanent stash by cutting in a video editor and re-encoding. Is there a way to cut without a re-encode? Since there is no shifting or manipulation really, only trimming the fat.Or am I overly worried of quality loss? Is there a way to make sure it stays pretty much intact? >> JarvisNicklebanks.png - Tue, 03 Sep 2019 22:48:37 EST PZTSqT8m No.122444 Reply Your shitty porn videos aren't Tigole encodes of blu rays.

But it's getting hard to find just regular websites/blogs that are not anything extremist, some can be political..but, we're already taking it in the ass from corporatism, now the state? In Canada? Yeah the story is from late 2017...looks like the Liberals likely ignored Bell. There's already a list of banned websites in Canada, but it's like 30-40 of them and the kind most people would be fine with it, plus some online casinos...that's a state business here and they don't take kindly to that up here...I don't want to become like China because the US is already doing it. ffsThose mofos have monopoly on fibre internet...although, I have options, some small ISP's now offer TV and gigabit cable, no symmetric uploading, I'd go with their 740/125 plan which is much faster on the download side (I got 300/300 FTTH) but 125 up sucks, I upload a shit-ton to my VPS so...that's a downside, but if Bell can have all ISP's modify their behaviour so that we end up like in the UK where only tiny ISP's offer uncensored internet by default, the others they gotta ask for porn to be "enabled", that gets one on a list that's for sure, especially if there's kids in the house or Australia's China-style firewall...So, anything strange to other canucks 'round here?Pic unrelated, the album I'm rockin right now while toking some Sensi Star. 2 posts omitted.

I bought and installed a new screen today equipped with everything I need, except now the touch screen function is not working properly. It was working fine for the most part the first hour or so after I hooked the new screen up, but the touch screen function has been getting progressively worse throughout the day. The touch function is still there, but just barely. The only way I can use the phone at all is by doing a hard reset, then upon respring the touch function *sometimes* works, but only for about 10-30 seconds and then it's gone.I'd just like to know if the phone is even salvageable. From searching google and youtube I see for most iphones the situation is more black or white; they either have touch functionality or none at all. I'm hoping it's just the screen I bought and I can just buy another... Got it on amazon for what ti's worth.and yes I have uninstalled the screen and reinstalled it 10 times, makes no difference. I unhooked everything in the whole phone, battery etc. whatever else is in there. I basically took the whole phone apart and put it back together. Many wonderful and exotic things in exchange for helpful advice here ~

Basically if a person is affected by nearby electric equipment or where stuff is plugged in an outlet, are these waves coming from the wall socket and through the extension adapter as well. Can these waves be minimized as in the B example by plugging in a 20m long extension cord in a wall socket from another room. Will the EMF waves only come from that wall socket or will it also be in the cord? by analyzing the picture you know what i want to accomplish / figure out so how would you go about plugging something in while minimizing the radiation? 7 posts and 2 images omitted.

This is a misconception. This radiation it sends out is actually what it uses to connect to and communicate with other devices. Think of the connection between a router and your computer or phone as an invisible wire. If you keep the router from sending out its radiation, you're in effect cutting the invisible wire. Your router would be useless.I'm sorry you're having trouble with this.

PS3 gone wrong, what HDD should I jam in it? View Thread Reply Hide LillianBlesslenug.xls - Thu, 04 Jul 2019 16:02:29 EST GPz567yS No.122337 File: 1562270549178.jpg -(3464397B / 3.30MB, 4000x3000) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. After 9 years my PS3 slim is finally acting up, it has three beeps and red lights which means it's got issues with overheating. I suspect the HDD is on its last legs because it got really slow, just look at that time requiring to copy a PS1 game to the HDD. I was like "wow that CD speed is crazy slow", so I tried playing MGS2 for PS2 (not HD Edition) when the PS3 shut itself off, just before some really scary sounds coming from what I suspect was HDD. I tried backing up my saves but it's so slow I halted it as HDD was making those dying sounds again. It could be the power unit is dusty and clogged up but I think the HDD is the culprit here, hence asking the question here instead on video games board.So most likely the HDD is dead and I want to replace it but for the love of fuck can't decide which one. Toshiba L200, P300, WD Blue or HGST Travelstar (specifically Z7K500) all 1TB. Please tell me your experiences or recommendations if you have. 9 posts omitted.

Less space, but much, much faster than the stock one (5400RPM and 8meg cache if I recall). Better yet if you want to invest a bit more - drop in an SSD. It makes loading super fast, and a decent 250-500 GB SSD can be obtained pretty cheaply nowadays...
