Got Firefox 4 Beta 11 running.

... I guess later it'll be high time I do the same thing on my Windows's Firefox as well...



Original UI (previous one was added with Strata theme):



Didn't quite like the original UI :/

hello there....hv question there...

anyone know how to downscalling display in ubuntu???

for example i hv 19 inch LCD monitor,

gonna make 1980x1080 pixel from default i get only 1366x900...any idea guys??

thanks....

you want set resolution to 1920x1080 but max u can get is 1366x900?

i forgot the script last time i used to fix the reso issues..see if I can google it next time

also, installed liquorix in this notebook..running fine...but then the next few reboot it will got those

"setting up fstab" ...and stuck there won't move or any activities ... weird issue..

@axxer
Just did an update/upgrade an hour ago. Speed is fine for me.

@Acid
Wah!! ... It's actually a simple question, but the answer can be very, very longwinded >_<... Basically, upstart was created to replace init, but it hasn't been set in stone. One benefit of upstart is that it takes load off the kernel while booting, and allows for greater levels of concurrency and event-based loading of services. The old init's benefit is stability and compatibility over various architectures (one reason why Debian doesn't use it, since they make iso for a lot of different platforms).

Just google init vs upstart and you'll get a LOT of explanations.

Both kinda suck in my opinion, but if you asked me to choose one, I'd probably stick with sysv/init for now. There are better alternatives out there, like initng, which I'm currently running on my ArchLinux partition. It's pretty good, and boot up is quite fast, it's not as modular/tweakable (no scripts available for XFS right now)

There's also the much discussed systemd, which should make it's way to most distros soon. Not sure about Ubuntu, since they have their own plans for Upstart, Btrfs and ureadahead, but Debian should be including it in their Unstable/Sid sources soon, probably after Squeeze gets officially released and 2.6.37 has benn out in the wild for a bit longer, or maybe at 2.6.38. The systemd package is currentlu available in Experimantal, and I'm using it right now, and indeed it does improve boot and shut down times, but you need to know some kernel-foo if you want to get it working.
You can read up here: http://wiki.debian.org/systemd
Warning: Use only if you know what you're doing, and it's advisable you compile your own kernel for this. It can break your install if you're not careful.


Cheers

I remember a post in the Liquorix or Debian forums about tweaking your etc/fstab for specific use with newer Liquorix kernels.... try searching... it might be a simple noatime fix that's needed.

Tryin KDE 4.6 on ma Ubuntu XD

Added on February 4, 2011, 10:56 amweird..after followed as what they mentioned using UUID it still won't boot, still stuck at setting up fstab, while "official" kernel doesn't have any problems..

probably it doesn't compatible with my laptop I guess, it's an intel gma 965 series...

thanks....

nothing,im just get watching my video in full hd resolution,nice isn't..??

I'm just wondering, can't I upgrade my KDE version to 4.6.0 WITHOUT having to upgrade to 10.10? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

A reply of "no" would be disappointing, but I'd at least would like to know if I can or not and why.

./~Acidus
Great choice of distro, Crunchbang!! Which version of Statler are you using, OpenBox or Xfce? I'm a huge fan, and it's one of the better out-of-the-box distros. Standalone Openbox > Lxde, and #!'s implementation of Openbox is one of the best around (a lot of distros that use OB copy #!'s style). The Xfce version is pretty stonking as well, very light. Good choice.

./~Flamey
10.04 is what name already? Loco Lucy or Masturbating Margaret? Anyways, the Kubuntu Backports seems to have versions for both, though I can't verify since I'm not on *buntu. https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports

It's LL. I guess it's not a problem if I'm using MM, but it seems I'm hearing that the KDE devs said you can get KDE SC 4.6.0 only on MM and Natty.

erm @@ actually kde 4.6 is for 10.10

Just wiped out my suse due to cracking sound of seagate barracuda 160gb, so annoying sounds. Need to downgrade to another 80gb hdd, going to install into other distros until the new version of suse comes out. #! oh yeah...

Openbox
Originally i wanted to install LMDE but after tested live Openbox #! i instantly fell in love with it It is very light indeed.. maybe i should sell my 4GB ram and get an SSD.

Btw thanks for your explanation about upstart and sysv-init. I still don't understand how it work even after reading many online articles but i will try to swallow it slowly.

those who with nvidia cards, you guys using nouveau or nvidia-restricted drivers?

care to post some stuff if you guys do tests it?
