Thank goodness i worship Debian

Looking foward to what Elementary OS has to offer

Scrot forever

Cocooh: When you say "scrot", are you referring to the screenshot-taking utility or the ScrotWM? The way you say things makes me confused between those two, considering the amount of time you've been spending on desktop moddings (Which I already gave up on making a good-looking one).

I see. So that explains why the Asus Transformer seems to be running a certain ninja game slower than one of my colleague's handphone.

Might as well I grab the ViewSonic Viewpad with Intel Atom and kick both Windows 7 and Android 1.6 off it, and get a custom *buntu installation starting from the base CLI, like how one would go around installing Arch Linux in common practice before adding a GUI to it.

And now with KDE 4.7 showing off to be promising on mobile devices, I'd waste no further time in deciding what GUI I want it to be on.


... Just... I need RM1.5k for that... actually, scratch some dollars off it since I have access to staff prices but still, better be safe...

Scrotwm of course quite lazy so ive eaten the wm

About AMD/ATI drivers, I swear if this keeps up I'm moving to nVidia solutions. Their SDK-s are easier to install and run. Using it in my office desktop and its easy to get running. The only problem is that the graphics processor on this desktop is low end. Therefore the processing power isn't enough.

Sorry, I haven't gotten round to trying out the SDK you linked me to. TBH, I completely forgot >_<
My net's slow right now (as is the rest of Malaysia, looking at the Broadband/P2P forum) so I can't download it here, but I have most of today off so I'll try it out as soon as I get home to Singapore later in the evening. Once again, sorry.

Don't worry about it. Like I said, its a shot in the dark. I really don't expect much help on this.

How do I use the recovery mode in crunchbang ?

@ Patent
I'm sorry but I wasn't online yesterday. Did you resolve your issue yet?
At first glance, it seems to be a problem with your bash config.

Well, yes. It is resolved.

Thanks for your concern.

Entertaining myself reading the posts of what Archers feels about Ubuntu and vice versa

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123575

Different philosophy , different mindset and some say different attitude

And this was my response to the whole thing;
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/135268/#p135268

Seriously, people who argue about distros do Linux no favors whatsoever. They're like those anime otaku who worship pictures of 2D women (who all look like walking embryos, fyi) just because they failed at getting a gf in real life.

Saw someone linking your post

I wonder why people will actually create such threads

Each distro has their own philosophy and flaws as well , but we dont have to workship it like god or sumting

But imo , Ubuntu forum is really full with trolls sometimes

Configuring a whole PC yourself is fun but the time you need to spend isn't.

Ubuntu just helps making the process shorter and simpler, that's it. It doesn't mean I can't copy Arch's philosophy (start from bare-boned installations) and work my way into installing my DE from scratch. They gave an option for the common user, they also gave options for those who feel they can manage their way from zero to a pretty DE.

Arch? Working from zero to up. I wonder if I can make profit from configuring an Arch Linux, Gentoo or SourceMage desktop, because if there is any I really want that kind of a job.

1. Because. Also, it's fun making a topic that will make people bicker. You don't need to join, just start.

2. Which is a problem with almost anywhere.

3. Who says they can't have trolls? The mods admitted if Linus or Mark was around and they trolled, they too will get infractions as any other user would.

I've used Arch on and off for a good few years now, before it become "popular", and trust me, despite being a decent distro, they have tons of trolls over at the Arch forums, more so than most distros if you take a userbase:troll ratio. Only difference is, they troll other places, not their own. Whenever you see a write up or comparo that includes Arch and it doesn't end up the "winner" I guarantee you'll see the comments section flooded by butthurt Archtards. Same goes for forums. Example; If there's a thread titled "Fedora or Ubuntu, which one is better for my system?", there'll definitely be some person who'll post "Arch", as if he's a blind halfwit who can't even read the question.

Sure, it happens with other distro users as well, but none can compare to Arch and Mac fanboys in that regard.

Personally, if you were Ubuntu forum maintainer and saw a great number of Arch trolls posting, you should be somewhat chuffed. Your distro has to be doing something right if you've got this many trolls who signed up just to talk about something totally unrelated.

Can you actually install and administer a working Sorcerer/SourgeMage setup? It's a process that requires considerable dexterity and patience.

There are those kinds of jobs available, btw,,, mostly for the server side. You'll probably require a bunch of certifications from RedHat to be even considered eligible for an interview, though.

Ahh , well said

N btw , ive fixed the fonts in scrotwm Gonna add that to my documentation

Been trying out KDE since Archies are mostly hooked by it and bringing gnome users to the second place (Openbox is even more than these 2 , comparing 2 heavy DE's)

KDE , i would say , much more lightweight than Gnome

Disabling Anokandi , Nepomuk and s something something really returns me my long lost memory

On startup , KDE 4.7 desktop only eats 170MB as compared

Gonna continue trying as much as i can

Add that to the Tiling thread too. I'm curious as to what you did as I have never had that problem before on any distro (not even ScrotWM runing in OSX)


I don't use KDE, but yeah, I've often heard of users disabling Nepomuk to free up resources. What is Nepomuk, anyway? Long-lost cousin of Alvin & the Chimpmunks?... or is it some Thai kickboxer?

As for the Gnome vs KDE thing, it always goes back and forth. Many people switched to Gnome when version 2 came out cos KDE3 was bland, then when KDE 4 came out, they went back, only to be plagued by stability problems, so they go back to Gnome again, then whe KDE 4.3 or 4.4 came out, they all went back to KDE to play with the new Bespin themes and icons, then when Elementary came out, they went back to Gnome, then when the devs announce Gnome3 and Unity, they go back to KDE again. I don't see it ending, really.

Personally, I think QT (QTcurve in particular) is much more modular than GTK2 and GTK3, but the problem is app integration since many of the more popular ones use a GTK backend. If only they found a way to get a decent lightweight suite running on QT apps without the need for KDE and all those annoying app names that begin with K. GTK3 is definitely a step-up from GTK2+, but with Gnome being in its current state of flux and turmoil, it might be some time before we see anything good come of it. Don't think it'll top QT, though.

But hey, what do I know... I'm a ncurses guy.

Nepomuk = sista virus from Thailand

Ahh , this is what ive did to fix my scrotwm :


xset +fp /usr/share/fonts &



Additional

Well , Gnome Shell really kills me off , slow response rate , barely , about 1-2 sec delay in actions

Elementary based on gnome 3 but imma try it out whether it is really "light"

imo , wm is still better Openbox , evilwm and scrotwm f3v

^Hmm, strange. I thought Xlib and XCB would automatically perfor the integration of font paths. I don't need to do that even Gentoo, Sorcerer or Arch.... Only BSD's ask for xset.

Although I usually set my preferred font path to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

Edit:
Oh, maybe it's because I have my font paths in my xorg.conf (yeah, I'm old fashioned) that I don't need to do xset.

That is the weirdest part , coz in Debian , ive never encounter this problem (where its not detected)

Actually , what is all the fuses about reviving the old KDE 3 project

It seems that alot of ppl gonna happy about it
