I installed wicd on VSIDO but now I am not able to figure out how to replace ceni with wicd, to test things out. As of now, both of them, i.e., ceni and wicd start up, and wicd is shut down by the system (I think)....

This may be because ceni writes to the /etc/network/interfaces file while wicd (and gnome's network manager) do not. I'm pretty sure if you edit (as root) the /etc/network/interfaces file and comment out everything but the:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

lines (usually at the beginning) then wicd should work.

If you go back to using ceni, you will need to remove the wicd configuration files.

@DevilOne - one of my favorite pekwm/openbos/fluxbox themes; somewhere on a backup, I have my fvwm version of that theme. Question to pekwm users here - I have been looking, but can not find out if a pekwm theme can be created that does not require pixmaps. Is it doable? I think it is, but I have not delved too deeply into the syntax/options of pekwm themes yet.

back on topic -

@vastone - for #10, I believe that setting will show dotfiles by default for File -> Open/Save etc ... operations.

I'll have to check it out.

Sneak one in early -



haven't changed much lately.

that's cool; lot of activity on IRC?

Jovo?

Are you building female robots again?   

LOL ... I saw yours and decided to take another look at pekwm myself 

Edit - switched from that most awesomely horrid default orange theme:



won't get me to switch from fluxbox.

@jed - nice shot

Have you tried using the grouping (tabbed windows) feature of pekwm? Grouped/tabbed windows is what really sets fluxbox and pekwm apart from openbox, but I never really got into configuring pekwm since I was pretty much set with fluxbox.

Xfce wasn't giving me the key binding control I wanted, so i blinged up cwm to give me the same aethetic -

@vastone -

I know what you mean. I tinker with it every now and then, but never stick with it. Always find my back to fluxbox, fvwm, or i3.

I think it's greatest strength is that it is an excellent DE to train people who are switching from Windows to Linux - just enough familiarity to keep them from going into panic mode. I almost had my brother sold a few years back with an Xubuntu live CD. I think I could actually get him to switch if I could sit down with him in person again.

I am beginning to wonder if that site will ever be back online... I think this may be a veiled attempt at Ubuntu to take back their Forums as their own...  It would definitely be a good time to do so.  The folks that run that now are a bit insane IMO ... too hard ass and in love with themselves

Interesting take on the situation. I have not been over there for a while, when you say the folks that run it are you talking about a new group of mods, or people that do most of the posting?

I black list the nouveau drivers, boot to console, install the nvidia drivers - no smxi.

Any time I update the kernel, I get to do that little song and dance. It was the method to use for slackware and I just kept doing it for debian.

Yes, cake -
