^ blaze, yes it is 3.8

I will correct the file name and the download page

It's the little things that are so easily missed, thanks for pointing it out

^ Thanks for that informative answer jefsview.     I appreciate it

The ISO was updated, built, installed, tested and uploaded with no issues this afternoon.  The primary changes were:

1 - Installed lvm2 so easy lvm can be setup on the install, thanks xaos52!

2 - Fluxbox has now been made the primary WM of VSIDO.  Fluxbox will be the WM first seen on a LiveCD and Fluxbox will be the shown as the default on a first time login once installed.  Of course this can be changed to Xfce or OpenBox by using the drop down menu

Upload is done

What do you need wine for?  In my travels and customer needs for non Linux applications, I have avoided wine like the black plague

I use Virtual Box for anything that cannot run on Linux, this may not be what you want to hear but IMO it is a lot easier

I have installed lvm2 and made it a part of the ISO

I did see these errors from buglist on the install and wonder if it is a concern

Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
serious bugs of lvm2 (-> 2.02.98-1) <unfixed>
#702163 - lvm2 - thin support not suitable for Wheezy
#697676 - lvm2: cLVM binary package is missing
Summary:
lvm2(2 bugs)
Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...]

The ISO is being tested and then uploaded... It will be done by 7:20 PM CST (1 hour and 35 minutes from now)

^ Nice lwfitz, supreme artwork...

It is also nice to see someone sticking with the Tint2 panel!

Welcome Doc, damned glad to see you here mate!

Hi xaos52, welcome to VSIDO.  We are glad to see you here.

Do you know exactly what the LVM packages are?  Is it only lvm2?

Once I know, I will add them and build a new ISO and have you test it if you do mind.

I appreciate the heads up and the recommendations to users.

Thank you Good Doctor!

^ Very nice lwfitz..

On this one I have gotten rid of a long stand 2nd conky I used forever and combined Gmail with the top Conky... You can get the scripts from here

Since Google made the lame decision to end Google Reader, I had no need for 2 conky's anymore and set out on a quest to create a Gmail space on the single line top conky

lwfitz beat me to it...

Nice! 

smxi cannot uninstall nouveau on the first time you run it... That is why both smxi and the How To I did says to run smxi video driver install section twice for it to succeed

Run smxi, install kernel (if you are), install nvidia drivers, reboot, start smxi again, go to nvidia driver install and install again, when done, start desktop

I have a couple of apps that are behaving strangely in Fluxbox that I cannot make sense of

I have these apps open

iceweasel
medit
filezilla
terminal
spacefm

If I use alt tab I can tab switch to medit, terminal and spacefm with no issues... but trying to get to iceweasel or filezilla, neither one of these will come to the foreground, they will only stay in the background

I actually have to minimize spacefm, terminal and medit to be able to get to iceweasel and filezilla

If I close everything but iceweasel and filezilla, I can tab between the two of them with no issues

If I have those two open, and open any one of medit terminal or spacefm, the behavior starts again, meaning that it does not need to be all three of them started

The same thing happens if I use the mouse to click on any one these apps, it is not just the alt tab function that causes it

Anyone else seeing anything like this?

Take a look at /etc/inittab

See if it is the same as this
