Bad weather for the last couple days; finished off my VSIDO install, and tweaked a couple themes:

What's stopped you; or just a matter of finances?

Carlos!

QuoteEvery one here has excellent and eclectic taste that I truly admire .... [snip]

so true; best thing about this thread is hearing some music from artists I never heard of, or hadn't listened to in years.

^ I am happy to oblige my friend...

The best part I like is it takes all of 5 minutes to install no matter what the need is

That was the deciding factor. After properly configuring the partitions for the way I use the computer, it would take a couple days to get everything installed while figuring out the solutions for the compiling errors I was getting. No time for that.

Always time for fvwm though;

^ Good ole boring VSIDO... I lub it...

best part is you save me a couple hours having to build a custom sid install from scratch - thanks for that:

^ I see.

Well, funtoo ran it's course - nothing against it (or gentoo) pretty solid release; just more than I want to deal with at the moment. Back to VSIDO:

@vastone - thanks.

I've seen hardware related issues for other people trying to get Linux installed on a macbook pro; never paid them much attention since I don't have anything mac. I know that Arch has a rather lengthy wiki page about getting Arch up and running on a macbook though.

@jeffreyc - no problem - there are worse addictions 

@lwfitz - you need to do something special to get the right click working?

back on topic -



I think that wall is from here - http://wallpaperswide.com/ - my other favorite wallpaper site.

^ Nice one. Has Opera started making a Linux version again?

Pretty much a drive by screenshot; liked the wall, trying to make a fluxbox style to go with it:

That makes sense; I'm set up pretty much the same way but unpack firefox into /opt not /browser.

The rest sounds like a theme issue. You can try some different theme/icon pairings to see if you get something legible.

I got it, too.

Yes, it is a security risk.

You have to run firefox as root? Did you download and install it in /root?

I usually download the latest release from my user account, use sudo to get it installed in /opt (/opt/firefox after extracting), then create a symlink in /usr/local/bin - or /usr/bin if you prefer. No permissions issues then.

^ aint that the truth.

Good stuff, hakerdefo

for any youngsters here, Dick Cavett was the best at celebrity (or any) interviews.

Were python and dbus also updated? Might want to run the vsido-exit script in a terminal and see if it throws a python or gtk error at you.
