/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

what is a good source to find news about vr development and technology?

I'm not a regular on this board, and I just built my first pc. Everything seems to be running fine, but I can't get anything to appear on my monitor. I haven't installed an os yet. What should I do or check?

Install gentoo

Is the monitor plugged in?

Lightning

Take out the RAM and stick it back in with some force.

Yeah, I picked up the wrong dvi, so it won't actually work with that monitor right now. So I'm trying to use the hdmi port on the motherboard with my TV. Just says no signal.

Ram is fully in.

I asked this in the last thread and got no answer.

How do I restore Windows 10's Quick Access "folder" to default view settings?

It used to show categories like libraries, drives, and recent/frequent files, with large icons for the first two, and small icons for the recent files. Now the icons are all mixed together and just sorted by name. It's retarded.

Normally I'd right click the folder and go to properties, or right click an empty space in it and change Group By. But there is no properties on Quick Access, and Group By is grayed out.

You sure? Make sure there's no wiggling at all.
I had the same problem and all it took was a metric fuck ton of force on the RAM to get the PC running.

I just clicked them in again, and nothing.

Take out the GPU and try again

If I write a small Python script that uses a system call to run GPL'd software in a background process, do I have to release my script under the GPL as well?

No, but you need to make sure your license is compatible with the GPL.

For example, for copyleft licenses:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility#Copyleft_licenses_and_GPL

Should I upgrade my i5 4690k to a Xeon E3-1231V3B? I have a GPU passthrough set up, and the extra threads would be nice. Is there anything else for LGA 1150 that would be better?

amazon.com/dp/B00KB4A2XA/

Here is my current rig:
pcpartpicker.com/list/f7CPFd

Eventually I want to get a dual CPU set up, so that I can pass through an entire socket, and run multiple VT-D VMs.

Not using it.

Using an unlicensed copy of a proprietary program is almost as bad as using a licensed copy of a proprietary program.

Also, Windows 7 was the last version of windows with a non fragmented UI, less spyware included, and a usable start menu search.

>compatible with the GPL

That means distributing my source code as well, right? Wouldn't bother since Python isn't compiled anyway.

If you write a small Python script, how do you plan on releasing it as closed source?

Or are you asking about something you want to make for your own use? If you're just using it yourself, you can do whatever you like. You only need to make the source as available as the product itself. If something is for only you and a couple friends, only those people need to be allowed to see the source. You can even link directly to GPL code.

I have an HDD with 2 partitions:

>1st partition I use as media storage for my windows7 SSD.

>2nd partition I have windows 8.1 when I tried it out a long time ago and I don't use it.

Basically I need to wipe that second partition to use the space now. Is there any problem with just deleting that partition with Gparted from a liveCD or the W7 iso? I don't exactly know what windows does but wouldn't it mess with windows boot when it looks for both installations to load?

No, I misread your comment. If you're just calling another program, there is no need to worry about GPL compatibility. (e.g. calling coreutils in your script)

GPL compatibility is handling of rights, not source visibility, though.

The extra threads are nice, especially if your end-game is to run concurrent VMs.

I am not sure if you can passthrough an entire socket to a VM. Have you read something which states you can?

I am also not sure if there is anything better, for a dual-socket setup. Xeons have a very bad price:performance ratio for the higher clock speeds, but a 4770k may be an option if the server chipset supports overclocking (it probably doesn't).

Do you just want to remove the partition and expand your Win7 media one? Even Win7's diskpart (if not diskmgmt.msc) should be able to delete the partition, then you can expand your media one in diskmgmt.msc. This way will remove the 8.1 install and give you all that space.

Or do you need to wipe the data so nobody can recover it with forensic tools?

>Computer unresponsive after sleep

I have sleep after X minutes disabled, but I have a remote control that puts it to sleep.

After that it's completely unresponsive, it won't even post,no bios, no lights or fan movement at all.

Desktop, win7

WOL has no effect, it's happened twice before and I just realised it was the remote. Comes good after a couple days. Really fucking confused.

That should be fine as long as your bootloader is not on that drive. I work at a computer repair store, and sometimes the windows installer will decide to put the bootloader on the wrong drive if you had both plugged in during your 7 install. If you do wipe it, you can rebuild it with a windows 7 install disk.

>If you write a small Python script, how do you plan on releasing it as closed source?

It's on a web server, you dummy. The Python script calls a GPL'd binary file, which is installed on the same server, and delivers the output as HTML back to the user. The Python script isn't (obviously) linked nor compiled to the binary but only depends on it as a system call. Does this mean I have to release the source code of my script?

No

What website do I use to torrent (private trackers not an option)

Are there any z170 motherboards with mSata slots or are they all m2 now, i'm looking to upgrade my system but i've still got this mSata SSD

Thanks.

mSATA is a dead standard. Just buy a PCIe -> mSATA adapter.

My current PC will be single CPU only. I was just thinking about getting this Xeon to hold me over for a few years. I will probably get a board with another socket when I save up enough to get a dual socket motherboard. Also, I think that Intel limits dual CPU motherboards to Xeon only. I have never overclocked my CPU even though I got the k part though.

There is an option in the QEMU config that lets you pass through an entire socket. My plan is to have a base GNU/Linux install with only free software, with a proprietary GNU/Linux VM for games and my windows 7 VM for games that don't support GNU/Linux. My base OS would sort of function as a hypervisor. Right now I have nonfree Nvidia drivers in my main GNU/Linux install for playing games. I want to keep all of the nonfree software in a cage where it can't hurt anyone.

>I'm trying to use the hdmi port on the motherboard with my TV

Remove the gpu when the hdmi is in the motherboard

The signal is going out of the GPU when it is hooked up, not the motherboard

turn off the PC before doing any of this.

rarbg.to

Careful what you download

Then it depends on whether you want to use the Xeon in your upcoming dual-socket build.

If you do, the E3-1231v3 is a good choice.
If not, then I'd try for a 4770k instead. The overclockability keeps it relevant for longer, if you're willing to put in the time to do it.

I just noticed that there's some type of orange buildup on the screws that hold one of my fans to my radiator. It wipes off but at the same time it kind of looks like rust. If it is leaking it's not even noticeable. There's no water that I can find or anything and it's still operating within normal temps. Should I be worried?

Disregard this, I just looked at the 4770k's product spec sheet, and it doesn't have support for VT-d (!)

Disregard this, I just looked at the 4770k's product spec sheet, and it doesn't have support for VT-d (!)

The 4790k does, though

What's a good way to save/record Snapchat pictures and videos without the other person knowing you were taking a screenshot?

Thanks, I will look into that.

With my current CPU I can play games, but when my friend and I start playing games at the same time (one in the host, one in the guest), occasionally the CPU usage will hit 100% and things will start to stutter. I think that more cores/hyperthreading would probably fix that.

How do I make an educated choice when choosing the CPU for my next laptop?
What are the benefits of an i7 over an i5 if it's going to be an ultra low voltage?

The answer, of course, being "Yes."

grep -oE "[a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z]" ?

Thank. What's the point of the extra GHz if it's going to stay idle most of the time? (Plus considering these are underclocked versions)
Also, in which scenario would the i7 6500U be effectively needed?

Chrome is the only right answer

>What's the point of the extra GHz if it's going to stay idle most of the time?

Extracting money from wallets from gullible consumers who don't know better

>Also, in which scenario would the i7 6500U be effectively needed?

There isn't a specific scenario. It's just better. But it's not $200 better.

When did (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) stop being a thing?

Never. Mods just don't make 99% of bans public

TL;DR SJW took over

I was hoping there was was a reason beside "let's make more money" being this set of available CPUs.
The "funny" thing is that lenovo don't let you order more RAM if you don't take the most expensive CPU.

is there a jhead equivalent for png?

Yeah, they're just jewing you. Both the i5 6200U and the i7 6600U have a 32G max.

The only feature difference between the 6200U / 6600U is Trusted Execution Technology, which is of dubious use

Dolphin

Yeah, I say some pics of ISIS beheading a few days ago.

They also don't let you order more than 16G of RAM.
It's kinda sad that one needs to verify if he's not gonna get scammed at every steps and eventually have to buy parts from tiers.

A friend of mine asked me to recommend him a pc. he's a plumber and he needs it for work. Budget is €400, up to €500 (i'm in italy).
Sadly thinkpads are not an option, he needs one of those laptops that can become tablets. Like the microsoft surface, but more like the lenovo yoga tablet.
How can i choose the best? Just benchmarks? How can i know who has the best build quality? What models can i choose from? Do anons use this kind of computer? Any good / bad experiences to share?
Thanks.

Take your sdcard out it drains your battery life.1

Do you have a lot of media files? Are they recently added? Maybe it's scanning them. Or are you using the phone to play music and videos? That would do it too.

The uppermost thing in the battery screen is the media server.

But my photos are on my sd card, and it hasn't done this before.

I have a lot of photos, but haven't added particularly much recently, nothing out of the ordinary. Also, I havent watched videos or listened to music. As I said I have not had this issue before.

TL;DR: what are accepted values for KEYTABLE?

Using openSUSE LEAP 42.1 with Belgian AZERTY Apple Pro keyboard.

I have set the correct keyboard layout in Settings Manager, but naturally this only takes effect after I've logged in to Xfce.

To effect the correct keymapping earlier, I tried to change the KEYTABLE value in /etc/sysconfig to "be" (default is "us") but this hasn't worked, so I assume my syntax is wrong.

Is there a list of acceptable KEYTABLE values? My google-fu has only informed me that they may look like "de-lat1-nd" but I don't understand what that represents.

What's the best, most reliable, secure cloud service? I want to back up photos and I find I'm constantly losing memories by not having one. I want to look back on my life one day, so a cloud service + HDD seems to be the best answer.

Should I upgrade my monitor from a 24 inch 1080p budget LG IPS display to a 1440p display or should I step right up to 4K? Thinking about buying an LG 27UD68-P 4K IPS monitor.

What's the largest size external HDD should I get ? going to get either the 3, 4 or 5TB

May as well future proof yourself. I say go for it. 4k will be the new standard eventually. Not a lot of content yet, but YouTubers seem to be adapting quite fast to 4k shooting. 8k won't be around for a while.

>>>/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/

Fugg... Yep, that's what I was looking for. Thanks, user!

what the other guy says, 4K isn't really prevalent for much right now except for select games, youtube and netflix. futureproof yourself until 8K comes, which will be a while

in my experience there's more bang for your buck going from 1080p to 1440p, rather than 1080-4k.

1440p144hz or 4k, they will cost about the same

In laymans terms, what mechanically happens when you encrypt a disc? I'm doing so now and it isn't using more RAM or CPU usage to do so, it has me interested in what's actually physically involved in the process.

The end result is effectively the same, so why do you even ask? It's simply a question of what you're doing and why.

Its rearranging the bits on the drive to the encrypted state

But what reconfigures the bytes? What manages this process? It can't simply be that kind of physical obfuscation or else accessing the data would be much more difficult than it is.

Why is it so absurdly difficult to find your external IP address on Windows? I'm beginning to think it literally CAN'T be done without using some kind of 3rd party intermediary.

It reads the data, puts it through the encryption algorithm, and then overwrites the old data

Why shouldn't i buy a big TV as a computer monitor?

Also what does 1000Hz mean on a TV? This has to be something different than those 60Hz or 144Hz of Computer monitors, right?

What do you mean when you say it? How does software accomplish this if no RAM or CPU process is involved?

And if it's completely rewriting the old data, why doesn't it occupy more storage?

Maybe this is obvious and I'm just retarded but I really can't fathom it...

What is the difference between a collision domain and a broadcast domain?

The process is limited by your drive speed so throwing more CPU at it won't help. It doesn't need more space because it's the same data just with the order rearranged.

Linux does not detect my nvidia hdmi audio output. There are no devices shown under the aplay -l, aplay -L or lspci as a nvidia audio device. I installed nvidia proprietary driver.

Response times, mainly. A TV can feel leggy because of long response times, noticeable especially if you play gaymes.

The Hz still means refresh rate, but they cheat: they take usual refresh rates like 30Hz but interpolate extra frames in between to simulate a smoother picture. Dunno how well it works, never used one IRL. Also it necessarily causes more lag, since frame 2 has to be processed before frame 1 can be shown.

dear Cred Forums:
I have to shit PCs with one gpu to share, and i need to think up whats best for a modern web browser.
One pc is an athlon 64 x2 5000+ with 8gb ddr2 800mhz ram (2GBx4) On a gigabyte motherboard that i cannot give you model now.
Second is a Intel Quad Q8200 with a gigabyte ga-g31m-s2l which can use max of 4GB ram ddr2, max 1033Mhz.
I have 4 sticks of 800Mhz ddr2 ram, an asus gt 9600 gpu and 2 (maybe 3) working PSUs , one 300W and second 350W.
I think that the quad setup will be better, but if i was able o OC the ram to 1033 MHz. The question appears - does Cred Forums know if i can OC the RAM on this CPU/mobo or is it impossible because RAM is rated at 800MHz?
The pc is not for gaming by the way, literally just web browsing, i may even install Debian on it.

Another thing is that the GPU fan is running at max speed whole time on the athlon mobo, not sure if its messed up by bios or something. I remember it working normally on the intel.

TL;DR
2 core athlon 5000+ with 8gb ram vs 4 core intel q8200 with 4gb ram for web browsing?

Difference seems to primarily about the CPU/GPU combo and the OS (Android 5 v 6)

I'd try rooting/upgrading to Android 6 on the P8 first to make sure its not just the OS difference. Before that, you can even try resetting to factory default and trying to see if that fixes the slowness/bloatyness. Rooting will help alot.

If neither factory reset nor the rom upgrade to Android 6 smoothes things out, then its probably the CPU/GPU combo issue. Although on paper it looks stronger, it might have driver issues/quality issues(this is still a guess only and even after you've exhausted other options).

What am I doing wrong? Except installing windows, that is. Now I'm downloading all drivers for that laptop to see if windows will be satisfied by it.

Anyone else have a broken WiFi after the latest update for openSUSE Tumbleweed

>What am I doing wrong? Except installing windows, that is.

I dont understand... why are humans so illogical?

I am having problems with my SSD and a flash drive and I was hoping you could help.
On my SSD I have some unallocated space, but it wont let me extend either of the other partitions.
ON my flashdrive it suddenly went from an 8gb normal drive to a 64 MB RAW, and I don't know what the fuck to do about that

ssd: you can't extend an active partition. you need to use a bootable tool like gparted

flash drive: try creating a new partition table

pls help

buy a new iMac.

Oh, and in case it matters: I'm booting the installer from an SD card; GPT partition scheme and fat32 partition.

What do you mean?

Fuck it, I just got rid of the stick and ran a cable from the router to my computer. This is MUCH better.

It says it's connected, but the icon on the taskbar is grey with a yellow question mark.

I have no Internet. It's the same when I try tethering my mobile network.

I have a Dell Optiplex case that I want to build a new computer into

the thing is, I don't want to cripple my new build with shitty airflow

how bad is it gonna affect the computer?

it's not an iMac

oh duh why didn't I think of gparted silly me
how does one create a new partition table?

well then its time to upgrade.

To create a new partition table one must format the drive

when I try to format it I get the error the format did not complete successfully

This is a computer that I built myself a couple months ago and now it's not letting me turn it off because everytime it automatically restarts itself. Any help would be appreciated.

yes

Try to repair or win upd8 then try booting. How reliable is the source you got the copy from?

If that was the case I wouldn't be able to view networks and connect to them.

What's my WiFi configuration?

Windows update is out of the question, as i've got a severely crippled windows 10 system (which is where i'm trying to install 7). The copy is some repackaged shit i got from some rigatoni-speaking site via torrent. Repair might be an option, but i'm not sure how it could affect my USB stick from booting.

Somebody please help me, I am new to coding.

do people here actually like anime or is it a meme like gentoo?

So my computer wont shut down, whenever I try to shut it down my computer just restarts. Any idea how to fix this?

does this cpu work with my toaster?
amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-8-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YUF6

no. We'll get to that in a second.

Just run the command sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i [your wifi interface] -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and post the output.

If it says something like "successfully initialized wpa_supplicant" then we're on the right path.

your interface should be something like wlan0 or wlp3s0
I would be able to tell you but you're not posting the output of anything.

lmgtfy

us.msi.com/file/test_report/TR19_2887.pdf

yes

also if it says it's for windows only, does that mean it won't work on linux?

It says successfully initialized. Interface name is wlp2s0, and it has hwaddr and inet6 stuff as expected.

Sorry, but I'm on my phone. Posting long outputs would take all day since I'll have to type them in by hand.

About to move into a new apartment and ordered Verizon FiOS (the 50/50 plan). I don't want to be jewed with rental fees every month, so I'm trying to buy a router compatible with FiOS that will just werk.

Also, would it be best to have my own router waiting on the day the service guy comes, or should I wait for him to install the rental, then cancel the rental a few days later and plug mine in?

I have an apache server running on an install of debian. I forwarded my ports to it I think?? This fucking router is complete bs. It's not working though. Getting timed out connections and canyouseeme.org is getting timed out too.

Where do I go to "get more into programming" after college?

Math major, but took a comp sci sequence (3 semesters) in Java because I thought it'd be interesting and I found programming to be really fun and would like to pursue it further. Now I'm in graduate school and was wondering if there were some nice textbooks or online resources for the subject the way there is for math or physics.

Hi, so i decompiled the latest SDR# version to fuck a bit around with it, and maybe learn something.
However, if i build and run it, the audio ouput and waterfall/spectrum are all choppy. It plays the demodulated audio for like 50ms, and then it fucks up. (No Audio output; it just like repeats the last FFT line from the waterfall for like 150ms "lag").
Decreasing the Audio Buffer seems to affect the audio play- and "lag" time.
It also got this bump on the right side (see pic, waterfall and spectrum); There seems to be some kind of offset somewhere, because if i do "I/Q Input form soundcard", the actual signal is at -15 kHz and the bump stays constant on the right side of the spectrum. (Also, the audio and spectrum aren't fucking choppy if i do I/Q from soundcard.)

Last month i decompiled SDRSharper (A shitty and fucked up copy of an old version), and it worked flawlessly. (I just had to fix the decompiler output)

Looking for micro usb cord + wall plug for my mom. I know I want something with 2 amps because otherwise it wont charge the tablet fast enough.

Is it the cable or the plug that determines how many amps get through? If its only the plug, then will any shitty micro usb cord do the trick?
Otherwise is there a specific brand you'd recommend on amazon?

does it beep?

It's alright if you want the adobe bull shit and some mediocre vidya.

but if anything more than that
> don't fucking buy pre-built

Please lads. After some more research, would this one work? Could I just shove this in the face of the FiOS man when he arrives and request that he get me set up on it? I just don't want to waste my money.

I'm not interested in any AAA games, I just want to play overwatch, a few indie games, and make shitty photoshop edits, maybe do some video editing

Anyone?

Elaborate, I don't into computers

I can still run gba and DS, right?

Yeah just not ps2, gc, or wii

>no shitty AAA games
>Overwatch

son...

Nope. At most the keyboard light comes on (I just noticed that it's still on despite the PC being powered off, WTF. Just went and turned it off at the mains.) but not the monitor or mouse.

> Overwatch
> not shitty AAA
I have bad news for you familia...

but that aside it should run it fine on low-medium? Overwatch is more CPU dependent so ehhh

did it usually beep? the absence of a beep could also tell you something (look up the beep codes in that case).

otherwise check the cables and try a different port. if all fails, it's either the motherboard or the gpu. get an old gpu and test your system with that before you buy expensive new parts.

Can anyone tell me anything about the 1080 Palit Premium edition?Never looked into their cards but it looks pretty nice for my build.

I have this issue with my monitor. I got this 1440p monitor recently (Benq GW2765).

Whenever I turn on the monitor, it seems my computer thinks it has been disconnected and connected back and moves ALL of my windows and taskbar to the 1440p monitor off of my 1080p monitor (Dell P2414H). Both monitors are using Displayport on my 980ti. This issue has occurred in WIndows 7/8/10, Ubuntu, Linux Mint. Tried different cables, but haven't tried HDMI or DVI yet.

Is there any solution to this or is the monitor just shit?

I should mention that my more recent setups do not beep since they did not accomodate those beeping speaker things you stick on your motherboard. But normally you could hear the HDD start spinning up and gaining speed as it boots up with the keyboard and mouse lighting up. This time there is a delay and I would have to wait an awkward amount of time for it to boot. I seem to be running into one problem after another.

I thought it was a motherboard issue so I replaced that. But now I'm led to believe that it might be the GPU. Because a previous setup got fucked over the moment it installed some new graphics drivers. (That was the original problem, followed by several others)

Sorry I was at work. In that case, try getting a more legit copy. Not like the copy you have is dangerous but it could just be corrupted. Maybe also dangerous... But anyway, the repair could replace that file. I don't think it'd hurt to try since you said it was crippled at this point.

Well, HDMI works just fine. Must be an issue with Displayport, I assume?

Any 802.11ac router will work fine dude. Depending on your range needs you can get a cheap one. Don't get a shitty one but you really don't need a 300 Belkin and 5 antennas

That's happened to me before, turns out my display setting were all fucked so I just fixed it. Was running wandows tho

I think mine needs to have a coax port for FiOS, which somewhat limits my options. Apparently if they ran CAT5 to my apartment I would have more options router-wise, but I'd lose out on basic cable function. Thanks though.

>Try getting a ore legit copy
Well, that could be an option, but my internet is really, REALLY shitty, and it took me days to download any windows iso.
I actualy looked again over the internet for some solution, and i may have fucked up the process: i'll try using the boot.wim files instead.
The copy looks legit, even though it's a repackaged multi x64 iso, What makes me think so is that many rigatoniggers are seeding right now.
I'll be trying right now.

>chrome/google won't let me delete the credit card info somehow managed up saved
What the FUUUUUUUUUCKKK????????? This is easy as fuck to abuse and they won't let me rid of it???

Hey Cred Forums

Picked up a display model lappy relatively cheaply in Japan recently, and I want to find out if I can put my spare 2.5" ssd in it as a second drive.

This is my laptop
msi.com/Laptop/support/GS60-2QE-Ghost-Pro-4K-4.html

I always get copies from friends in IT. Let me know what happens

>using google products

Fucking disgusting

Is there another bay on the inside for a second drive?
If no, you're gunna have to buy a dongle

Fuck I forgot about that. I have fios but I use their router. I would say go for it. Their router is really nice aesthetically and you can host both 2 and 5ghz bands simultaneous :D

I cant tell from the specs page, it says super raid and all this option, or ssd and 1tb hd etc, mine is just ssd only model, and they dont have dvd drives etc, so Im thinking its a possibility, one of the ssd options is pci-e stick too and m2.

It's like 6 screws to open up a laptop. Take a peek you'll have your answer immediately. If it's raid then you probably can't add your own drive

Thanks lad. Pulling the trigger on the MI424WR Rev I, then.

That didn't work, the usb throws the same error, 0xC0000359.
Fuck, not even that manual ransomware removal i did once was this hard.
I can try asking around if anyone has a 7 64bit cd, but that's unlikely since they either run toasters or botnet 10.
I'll hit the sack today, i'll try again Tomorrow, after some good sleep. I'm not gonna give up this easily over UEFI.

Looked up the internal ssd, pic related comes up searching for the part number

Holy fuck I solved it.

I started to wonder if the windows installer even had drivers for the card reader (since it would display a pendrive when searching for drivers, but not the reader) so I got a pendrive and did all that I had done earlier, but with the pendrive instead. It still didn't work but after a few attempts I noticed that the pendrive didn't always copy the files properly (copy, eject, plug in, files are missing) so I got another pendrive AND IT FUCKING WORKED. Why am I so unlucky when installing windows?... It always takes me at least a few hours because something doesn't work and windows errors are so misleading (last time it said that files are corrupt or missing, turned out to be faulty RAM).

Lol I used to charge people $80 to remove the fbi ransomware. Shit was the easiest ransomware I've ever removed

I have a win7 pro 64bit on a flashdrive. I would upload it for you but I'm busy as Fuck today. Assuming it's late where you are so ill check back later tonight and see if you post. Sleep tight homie

If that's the one in your lappy then it's highly possible there's another slot. Are you not able to pop open your laptop?

Thanks, it's late and the thread reached the bump limit, and i think it won't make it to tomorrow. I'll post in the next one. Thanks for your help so far.

Is it possible that a laptop doesn't work with windows 7 on with newer OS?

I've bough this notebook a few months ago without an OS. Been running on linux since. But now I want to install win 7, and it says "no device drivers detected", all the original drivers I find on the website says win 8.1

You pay somebody for one.

I just did a fresh install of Xubuntu but for some reason no matter what I do the wifi drivers don't work and I can't figure out why
