I have an issue with one thing on the way the one that launches from the home folder, that being, as some of you know, I use "if" variables to show now playing items in my conkyconfigs, and if there isn't a media player running, it shows a record, and a scroll saying just that, unfortunately, for some reason or another, it doesn't seem to pick up on this version of GMB being running, so my GMB widget is OVER the album and the words that scroll across saying that there is no media player running like in the screenshot below

here is the conky config it is using, in case I did something wrong, but I got the gmusicbrowser.pl call right out of the sytem monitor, so I'm not too sure what is going on

the blankness after the GMB entries is there to create an empty area for the widgets. It works no issues at all with the normally installed version GMB, but I like the updated one a bit, I like bleeding edge, I WANT TO SEE MY BLOOD!
Anyone have any ideas whats going on? Am I missing something somewhere?
Signed,
Confused in Conkyville.

no problem, I might make more, or something else, or maybe just blow up the system, we'll see lol

Here is an archive with a bunch of quotes from "The Family Guy" for fortunes, so obviously, you must have fortunes installed on your system. I take no credit for finding these quotes, they came from the family guy quotes list in UberScript for X-Chat, I just formatted them lines to work in fortune-mod, and created the needed files for fortune to read them. To install them you just have to extract the archive and place all 3 files in the /usr/share/games/fortunes folder then, to use the the Family Guy fortunes, just type into terminal fortune FG

For some reason or another they wont work directly as a /exec in irc, (at least not on X-Chat) so if you want use these in irc you're gonna have to make a macro, or in the case of X-Chat, (my irc client of choice) i use an "autoreplace" line, so I go to

   
• Settings
• Advanced
• Autoreplace

click on "Add New", and you will a new shortcut/autoreplace popup and just set what ever you want your trigger to be, example, I use "FG", so in the box that says "*NEW*" I enter "FG" (no quotes),  and in the box that says "EDIT ME", i have "/exec -o fortune FG" (again, no quotes) here is a screeenshot of what it looks like in my autoreplace

Reminds me of some trips I took in my younger days ... with the help of some shrooms. 

Having grown up in L.A. in the late 60's, 70's and early 80's I know that feeling all too well. 

sounds like my high school right on through my college years, and then a few years after that, and about a decade after that.............

Great! now i have boobs on my screen!

I struggle to see the downside here.

oh great, I gotta start making wallpapers now too, ugh, between conki, and wallpapers, im never gonna sleep

I'm sorry, but I think this is one of the gayest comments I have ever seen in my life
"Borrowed my butt!
I put it here for all to enjoy, I'm just glad you like it.  "
LMAO

@everyone
Thank you, I added the updated chrono-9000 to my website and made a post on it with the download link to it, if you're interested, you can see it at thelinuxtweaker.com

New XFCE setup, can't believe I've actually been using XFCE more than MATE lately, (no bashing please). Still using my Chrono-9000 conky config, why mess with perfection lol. I'm using AWN for the bottom bar, and tittles for the programs on the XFCE4-Panel at the top for launchers, and yes I use compiz, I have a beast of a machine, why let all that horsepower go to waste, besides, I have ADD and like shiny things, teehee. And yes, I'm using my own kernel with the CK1, and BFS patches applied, and I based it off the Liquorx kernel.

well, I feel very bloated, and must go piss on the wall, and I bet I can piss higher up on the wall that anyone else here, who wants to challenge that?

Ich danke Ihnen herr

Welcome (again) McLovin   

Please excuse the mess, we are doing the best we can!

No worries, at least you're staying on top of things. Is there an IRC channel? If not, I could create one on the spotchat network that we could use. Maybe IU'll make a seperate post about it for people to vote on?

I just tried to dl the configs from dropbox and got an error
Nothing Here
The file you are looking for has been deleted or moved.
did you move the files?

I have found an issue when trying to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers, as the linux header files are in a non standard location in Vsido, (or it seems that they are in my experiences). The kernel.k file that is need for the Nvidia driver installer, is located at /usr/include/linux, but the installer is looking for them in the standard /usr/src/linux/include/linux directory. The workaround for this is NOT to use the --kernel-source-path variable, as it does not work for some reason, the best way that I have found is to make a symlink in the /usr/src directory by issuing the command ln -s /usr/include/ /usr/src/linux/ as root, that creates the needed path for the nvidia .run file to be able to find the needed the kernel.k file. Hope this helps anyone who had the same issue I had, took me a few to figure out what the issue was, but once I did, it was kind of like a "duh" moment to create the symlink. Then again, I am running my own custom kernel, but it still puts the headers in an odd location to me.
