Many of you might know that it is possible to add a spacer to the Mac OS dock icons with: $ defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}' $ killall Dock but the problem is, I find them a bit wide. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to adjust the space of those spacers An image of the spacers I'm talking about can be found here Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have been trying to install the Nvidia drivers on the latest version of Debian, but all I have been getting is a black screen. When I hit ctrl alt f2, I can get to a terminal, but I am not sure where to go from here. When I try to reinstall the drivers, the terminal basically says that these 3 packages encountered errors while processing: libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 Nvidia-driver Xserver-xorg-vidia-nvidia So clearly this is my issue, I just do not know how to fix it. My graphics card is a gtx 970 ...

I have a pair of earbuds with a microphone that I would like to record with instead of the terrible inbuilt one. Unfortunately, when I plug it in it still uses the inbuilt one. The icon next to the jack indicates that it is speaker and microphone, and the end of my audio jack does have four rings. The microphone works fine on my Android phone, so I know it isn't the earbuds' fault. I remember when I first plugged them, there was a dialogue menu that asked what I wanted to connect it as, and I se...

Info: I'm using acer aspire 5733 (windows 8). I recently bought a new battery online that has a capacity of 112 Wh (which is double the original 48 Wh AS10D31 battery that the laptop came with). It came with the same voltage as the original one which is 10.8 V. Charger supplies 19 V 3.42 A 65W. Problem: I cannot charge the new battery past 43% even after two days of charging. I tried to calibrate the battery by draining it all the way and uninstalling Microsoft ACPI compliant control but all att...

So as the title says, I bricked my laptop. I'm not that good at explaining but let me try. I reformatted my laptop and installed the drivers given by the acer support, driver and manual site. and noticed my speakers aren't working. I opened my laptop to check if the speakers are still okay or the pins might have been disconnected. So it was still okay, after a couple of minutes searching, I found out I needed to update my BIOS. and so I did (yes I checked the version first). everything was doing...

I have Aspire E5-571G-55ST laptop and tools like CPU-Z and Speccy show that I have 2/4 slots used... Even Windows Task Manager shows that I'm only using 2/4 slots... But when I opened up the laptop to put in 2 RAM's in the 2 leftover slots, I found out that the motherboard has only 2 physical slots, or I'm not seeing good??? The motherboard is: Acer EA50_HB Chipset is: Intel Haswell-ULT rev. 0B South bridge: H8x/P8x rev. C1 Bios: Insyde corp. v 1.32 Can someone help me out to figure this out? Do...

When iPhone is plugged in computer running Windows 10 it starts installing drivers. Windows doesn't show UAC screen, or user permission to install drivers. Sure, it is convenient, but what is the security model here? Does it mean that any usb stick can silently gain permission for arbitrary code execution? Or this usb stick would needs a signed certificate to do so? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am trying to dual boot windows and linux by putting my second ssd in this optical drive caddy. However, the caddy is not recognized by the BIOS. As far as I can tell from this site, I am running the latest version for my model (v1.21). When I tu on the computer, the blue light on the caddy lights up so I am assuming there is at least getting stata power if not data. Did I get a bricked caddy? Unfortunately I do not have another laptop to test it in. The ssd works perfectly if I put it directly...

I recently bought a Zenbook UX305UA and the standard smart gesture driver offers almost no options for costumization. I have tried to install some Synaptics and ELAN drivers but i can't seem to get any to them to work. Does anyone know of a touchpad driver that offers more options for costumization and is compatible with the Asus Zenbook? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

For the love of all all that is holy, remove that program immediately. Most of these driver programs/websites are complete scams. Even the ones that arent are just plain bad. It would appear Driver Reviver is "legitamate" but is know for installing older and the wrong drivers. For the average user, there is no need to use any driver other than what Windows gives you. If you really want to look for a newer driver, go to the manufacturer's website. There you will find compatible drivers for your h...

I would like the fans to automatically adjust speed based on appropriate inteal temperatures. I have a dual-boot with Windows 10 and it works as expected under Windows. However, when I log in to Ubuntu, the fans are quiet for about 30 seconds and then spin up to what I'm guessing is about 70-80%. I took the following steps: sensors-detect service kmod start sensors pwmconfig The output of each of these commands can be found in this pastebin. I don't know much about hardware/drivers/modules, so...

I am running Linux Mint on an Acer Aspire E 5 574G. The problem I am facing is, I have to press and hold the power button for a bit to trigger the lock screen or suspend or whatever option I have set in the power management section. But if I hold it for even half a second longer, the machine powers down. Is there a way to make it respond to a tap of the power button and not a hold down? When I tried to test detecting the power button tap with xev, it couldn't. Holding it did detect the stroke th...

As we all know that BIOS is important part for accessing boot option. So now UEFI will do that? How? BIOS boots by reading the first sector on a hard disk and executing it; this boot sector in tu locates and runs additional code. The BIOS system is very limiting because of space constraints and because BIOS runs 16-bit code, whereas mode computers use 32-bit or 64-bit CPUs. By contrast, EFI (or UEFI, which is just EFI 2.x) boots by loading EFI program files (with .efi filename extensions) from...

I have a Lenovo Y560 (Win 7 x64). When I restart my laptop I get to the Windows boot logo and then the screen goes black. I am able to boot into Safe mode but if I then try and restart I get the same thing. The only way to boot into Windows normally is when I disable my AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 graphics drivers via Safe mode by going to Device Manager. This will boot the system without issue. I figured I would do this (disable graphics drivers in safe mode) then enable the Graphics drivers on...

Good moing everyone. I am having a bad time trying to fix my laptop Acer Aspire E1-570. I have a black screen of death, when I press the power button the fans start spinning for a second and then stop. The processor LED start to blink (when the pc worked this LED didn't blink, it was always steady). As a note: I removed the HDD to avoid any possible data loss, since I think that the problem is related to the BIOS ( I checked before that a laptop can start even without the hard disk, obviously it...
