Mr-Protocol Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 I guess nows a great time to setup Arch, with Ubuntu 13.04 coming out... Anyone got any better alternatives other than Mint? :) -Foxtrot I'm swapping to Debian Wheezy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'm swapping to Debian Wheezy. Never liked Wheezy... I guess i'm just really picky xD Lets hope that Kylin stuff doesn't reach it into upstream kernel releases :P -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I went back to Arch. It got a lot better since I used it a while back. Works great on thinkpads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have stupid NIC names now like wlp3s0, can you get wlan0 etc back? -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply create a link from /dev/null to.. wait: ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules Reboot and you are done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0k3nilluzion Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Its interesting that ubuntu is doing this move, and the underlying holes in the whole situation, especially when you take into perspective that the world is going mobile and the laptop is being replaced; albiet slowly. With Ubuntu touch going mobile, and ubuntu trying to move for there own phone OS, isnt it interesting that China is involved?? With super powers playing around in a scene like this, one has to think there are far more intrinsic machinations going on in the dark or behind the "wall" then those in the public have any idea...

My wired doesn't work by dhcpcd in Arch, but I can fix that by just doing the ip addr <...> way in the guide. Cheers for recommending, I'm now a happy Arch user :) -Foxtrot.

Glad I could make you switch! In terms of dhcpd, that is strange. I am sure it is fixable though - the wiki has lots of information on it.

Yeah, I just made a simple bash script executing the IP commands and placed it in /bin/, easy way out :p -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
