How to install ATI driver in ArchBang I got an email from a reader asking me about how to install the ATI driver in ArchBang Linux. Normally I would advice him to read the Arch Wiki but since the new update of ATI catalyst is quite troublesome, I decided to write this post instead. If you're inexperienced with Arch Linux, you may got a lot of troubles to install the new ATI catalyst inasmuch as it got compatibility problems with the Linux kernels and Xorg-server packages. Specifically, the new ATI driver (11.11) cannot work with the new xorg-server (1.11) when it can only work with the newest Linux kernel (3.1). All in all, if you got problems when installing the new ATI driver or feel overwhelmed by the article in the Arch Wiki, this blog post will be helpful for you. Because the new ATI driver cannot work with xorg-server 1.11, when you update system you have to ignore the group xorg. sudo pacman -Syu --ignoregroup xorg [xorg110] Server = sudo aticonfig --initial then run:
FAQ Translations of this page: Français 日本語 Polski Русский 简体中文 This FAQ, or Frequently Asked Questions, covers general topics about Wine. Quick links: running a program in Wine, running Wine from a terminal, running program as root, uninstalling an application, getting a debugging log, using a wineprefix, creating a 32 bit wineprefix. Contents 1. 1.1. Wine is available thanks to the work of many people around the world. 1.2. Wine increases the usefulness of Linux, makes it easier for users to switch to free operating systems, and for Windows developers to make applications that work on them. 1.3. There is a lot of confusion about this, particularly caused by people getting Wine's name wrong and calling it WINdows Emulator. When users think of an emulator, they tend to think of things like game console emulators or virtualization software. A few things make Wine more than just an emulator: Sections of Wine can be used on Windows. "Wine is not just an emulator" is more accurate. 1.4. 1.5. 1.6. 1.7. .
Compatibility Mode - Use in Windows 8 How to Use Compatibility Mode on Programs in Windows 8 and 8.1 InformationIf a program or driver written for an earlier version of Windows doesn't run properly in Windows 8 or 8.1, then you could try using compatibility mode on the program to hopefully allow it to run properly. Compatibility mode settings are not available for the programs that came included as part of Windows 8.If changing the compatibility settings does not fix the problem, then you could go to the program manufacturer's website to see if there is an update for the program that may allow it to run properly afterwards.To see if your software is compatible with Windows 8 and 8.1, check it here: Windows Compatibility Center WarningDo not use compatibility mode on antivirus programs, firewall programs, backup software, or disk utilities because it could cause data loss or create a security risk.You only want to use these type of programs for the Windows listed in their system requirements. 7.
The rEFInd Boot Manager by Roderick W. Smith, rodsmith@rodsbooks.com Originally written: 3/14/2012; last Web page update: 11/8/2015, referencing rEFInd 0.10.0 This Web page is provided free of charge and with no annoying outside ads; however, I did take time to prepare it, and Web hosting does cost money. Introduction This page describes rEFInd, my fork of the rEFIt boot manager for computers based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and Unified EFI (UEFI). In theory, EFI implementations should provide boot managers. I decided to fork the earlier rEFIt project because, although rEFIt is a useful program, it's got several important limitations, such as poor control over the boot loader detection process and an ability to display at most a handful of boot loader entries on its main screen. As already noted, rEFInd is a boot manager for EFI and UEFI computers. Subsequent sections of this document are on separate pages. Note: I consider rEFInd to be beta-quality software! References and Additional Information
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (or UEFI for short) is a new type of firmware that was initially designed by Intel (known as EFI then) mainly for its Itanium based systems. It introduces new ways of booting an OS that is distinct from the commonly used "MBR boot code" method followed for BIOS systems. It started as Intel's EFI in versions 1.x and then a group of companies called the UEFI Forum took over its development from which it was called Unified EFI starting with version 2.0. As of 24 July 2013, UEFI Specification 2.4 (released July 11, 2013) is the most recent version. Note: This page explains What is UEFI and UEFI support in Linux kernel. It does not describe setting up UEFI Boot Loaders. Differences between BIOS and UEFI See Arch boot process#Firmware_types for more details.

A Guide to Installing Arch in VirtualBox | Josh Braun's Blog Author’s Note (12/26/2012): This post has been updated to take advantage of some of the excellent corrections and constructive criticism provided by the Arch Linux community on Reddit. Many thanks to them for their advice and suggestions. Author’s Note (3/21/2013): I’m thankful for all the nice things users have said about this guide and all the advice they’ve given in the comments—you folks are great. As the title suggests, this is a guide to installing Arch Linux in VirtualBox. Introduction As of this writing, I’ve been a Linux user for around five years. Why Arch Linux? I started out very tame, installing other Ubuntu variants and then Debian (on which Ubuntu is based), before a friendly Linux user suggested that, if I ever wanted to figure out what the hell I was doing, I should try tinkering with a Linux distro that wasn’t based on Debian, just to broaden my perspective a bit. This is, of course, possible with other Linux distros as well. Why an Installation Guide? The System The Setup
