which distro was that...

Here is my FVWM Desktop. Sleek, Efficient and Spa(i)cy!
*img385.imageshack.us/img385/879/sathya6gj.th.jpg

@Prakash: How did you post b4 me? You suggest a name for my distro. :lol:

U

This is a desktop I was trying out, it uses the XFCE4 panel, ROX filer in pinboard mode, and sawfish as the WM.

*img68.imageshack.us/img68/1741/screen3yb.th.png

ROX's drag and drop features are nice, but I ended up sticking with a simple FVWM config for day to day uses.

@Ujjwal: How did you get terminal transparency? BTW was it aterm?

thinks it will be eterm

U

Nah thats XFCE terminal, its options allow you to configure translucency. But you can get such transparency with aterm just as well. Note that in both cases it is fake translucency, that is, only the contents of the root window are displayed behind the terminal, any windows behind the terminal will not be shown.

It's the same with Konsole too. Fake Transparency.

M

I have done it in Konsole from settings menu. But, is there anyway to do it in another terminal where there's no menu bar?

wow, nice tux-tops guys...
i again feeling like linucx world callin me... been long long time...

nice desktop prakash.

@riyaz:That's how they call me at home

.It's kinda pet name

@Prakash: Consider putting all those drive and folder icons in a Drawer at the taskbar, and add a transparent borderless terminal kindaa like aterm. Install aterm via apt-get and follow the instructions given, *linuxreviews.org/software/x11-terms/aterm/
Now along with water reflection, your desky wud be hard to beat..

Thanks Sattiya

Eric's Desktop Guidelines and his desktop.

Here are Eric S Raymond's FVWM2 desktop and his guidelines for Modding your desktop for maximum productivity.
*www.catb.org/~esr/fvwm2/
Here is his desky.,
*img137.imageshack.us/img137/9907/bluesteel6jy.th.png

Look how much space it has for work, without emphasising much on artistry. But i feel we can make it artistic., that's just a model. And for god sake don't use full blown desktop environments such as GNOME or KDE., unless you really have to.

My problem has been of late that ff uses a lot of space on my desky., I have 1280x1024 @ 75hz I don't like switching multiple desktops. Is it possible to prolly reduce the font size of ALL webpages displayed such that i have ff open at one half. A term and an editor or some other app on the other. I also wan't a dock kinda thing for launching apps as launching from terms have several disadvantages as the terminal remains on the screen or the tab until you close the app.. I also need something like a iconbox to keep track of open windows.. I'm searching on the web. Lets see..

Although I have experimented with all sorts of "unixy" fvwm setups, I personally still prefer the Win 95 interface over everything else. Somehow, I cannot get used to anything other than a taskbar for managing open windows, click to focus behaviour, being able to click in windows to raise them, and infinite edge resistance. Perhaps this is because I use an 800x600 resolution, and keep many of my windows maximised.

The amazing thing about FVWM is that it can be made to look so different from, well, itself. Check the popular config by taviso -

*dev.gentoo.org/~taviso/screenshot05.png

Satissh, you could try reducing X dpi setting for reducing font size, or you should be able to specify general font settings in firefox preferences dialog, if I recall. Also, fvwm provides an iconbox (as well as taskbar) module.

Got some free time to mod a kde desky!!

Here 'tis
*img362.imageshack.us/img362/5568/kdedesky3mz.th.jpg

Cool......Long time since I used KDE,,

@Satissh S

dude awesome just a question if KDE looks so kool why does everyone say NOME is better??

Actually it's personal preference.

Riyaz says he won't comment on kde b'coz he hasn't worked on it for 20 minutes continuously.

Basically i luv all FOSS softwares, but when it comes to DE's i prefer a window manager shell more than a Desktop environment coz, it is not resource hungry as well as being efficient just like fvwm or fluxbox besides it will increase compile times. However i do occasionally peep into GNOME or KDE just to use them and probably file any bugs

Besides you can make GNOME equally kewl too, Take a look at these sites to get an idea.

[56k warnings]

*step.polymtl.ca/~coyote/linux_desktops.html

Besides here is a google image search for linux desky's

Ok here is my Fluxbox desky with transparent aterm and all the icandy. See howmuch we can mod a transparent aterm terminal and left of it is the normal xterm. I wud however love to have a system load meter there. Maybe somebody can suggest one!!

*img87.imageshack.us/img87/4831/screeny0pi.th.jpg

So you mena that we can change the desktop environment from KDE or GNOME to any other. (Really i dont know anything about Linux will innstall Fedora core 4 once i get new Hard Disk)

M

yeah kato you can change to many of the desktops environment and windows managers available.

C

Heres mine i think this is one desktop every one would like

Metacity theme is milk 2.3
wallpaper is flyaway
& additional eye candy is gDesklets-weather report, bible verse of the day

the pic is only 70kb so shouldnt be of much load for a dialup user also

*www.cryptid.5gigs.com/beauty.jpg

WOW!! Nice one there!! Superb icons by the way 8) And you could also use a button for tracking open programs intead of taskbar. Takes much space isn't?

@cryptid The theme beats Winows Milk Theme Dude Tell its GNOME right i have a feeling it is. Tell that also dude

M

Yeah kato its gnome on Ubuntu. Nicely done cryptid.

You use Linspire.... What is that weather tool you are using ? Also what media player do you use ? How do I get that song ticker

@eddie cool desktop. Is it Gentoo? Tell me how you got it? I am trying to install gentoo once again today.

vignesh said:

No its not linspire. I will never touch that distro with a 100ft pole. The weather tool you see is superkaramba widget "liquid weather++" and the media player i am using is amaroK. The sound ticker is another widget named soundmania". You can find both of them on kde-look.org

Thanks

. Yeah it is Gentoo with KDE 3.5 and here is how i made it.
Wallpaper is from kde-look or may be it came with the style Baghira.
Icons are glaze from kde-look.
Font is a handel gothic. Superkaramba widgets i told in my previous post.
For taskbar, it is kbfx applet (replacing kmenu button) with a panel background. Done

M

How did you get kde 3.5? I want to try it out too? And you using X-org 7.0? I guess x-org 7 is needed for compiz and NLD? I wanna try em out. Am looking forward to custominsing my desky using some ideas formk yours.

Where can I find this liquid weather++...I use Ubuntu 5.10 ...

@prakash: One correction there on using aterm. I figured out how we can get transparency using gnome-terminal,
[RIGHT CLICK] --> [Edit Current Profile...] --> Throws up a dialog
Select [Effects] tab and then click [Transparent Background] radio button, and we have a transparent terminal!!

Check my new fluxbox desky!! How's it??

KDE 3.5 sources are available since quite long and the binaries are provided by almost every distro. Which one are you using? I am not using Xorg 7.0 yet. It is still hard masked on Gentoo and will install it only once it comes under testing

As far as NLD is concerned, I don't have any inclination towards using it just yet.

vignesh said:

Ubuntu uses Gnome. liquid weather++ is a widget for superkaramba which in turn requires KDE

You'll have to install KDE or look out for a similar widget under gdesklets.

Thanks eddie for your reply. I intend to install gentoo once I return home from goa and get my computer repaired(hopefully soon). So, since I will be installing gentoo from beginning, can I go for X-org 7 and NLD? Also, how do i get kde3.5? Using 'emerge kde-3.5'?

@mehul (tech-your-future) : Xorg 7.0 modular-x howto document is located here at the gentoo desktop resources page. You can follow it

For emerging kde 3.5,
you can use
emerge -av kde-meta <so it emerges all your kde stuff>
Also refer, here for gentoo kde documents.

@Mehul, You are using a Mac theme. @Eddie, Your desktop looks very different.
What theme you are using? @Prakash, Your desktop background is way too dark brown!!
Why don't you use nice Nature wallpapers? You can download some great Wallpapers from here

M

Nope just the OS X icons. Otherwise Just made a few changes to the placement of the panels. The one in OS X looks good. I don't want it to look fully like Mac, just the parts that I like. I would certainly like to keep that Ubuntu logo on the top panel.

Sykora said:

Means?? In linux just press "printscreen" button!

Yes, I know how to take a screenshot. It's just that my window manager is meant for extreme usability, and almost no eye candy. I tried moving back to KDE but couldn't. i just couldn't get any work done

We would still like to see that window manager setup. Post your screenshot with details and lets see what it is that you couldn't do with KDE

Well, here you go. There's nothing much to see though.

Which WM is that? I can't see any signs from which I can recognise anything.

You're not supposed to :0

It's Ratpoison : *www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/

@Sykora, If you want a lightweight WM. Then you can use XFCE
It's fast, light on resources , also it looks cool.

No it's just the GNOME panel. I have increased it's height and made it transparent. But, it doesn't have any Mac like effects. That would take more resources.

JGuru said:

No I won't agree to it. XFCE is not so light weight AFAIK. From what I see ratpoison should be really light as it has no eye candy and resource hog processes.
XFCE is good WM for newbies but for those who have been using linux for longer, lot more options exist.

@JGuru : I've tried XFCE. Believe me, there are many other lighter wms, and in my opinion, ratpoison is the ultimate in speed and access. It just has a very steep learning curve. It's also sscriptable, so you can do your own stuff with it. For Ubuntu/Debian users, there is also a neat feature called ratmenu. Initially I thought I'd really need it, what with the absence of menus, but as I got used to ratpoison, I don't need anything else.

Is there some particular reason behind you using ratpoison?

Are you very low on resources? What is that you want out of ratpoison that cannot be achieved with KDE or is it just the geek factor?

^^ He(@sykora) said he tried moving back to KDE, but cudn't!

I did read what he said

I am just asking why he couldn't get any work done...

*img91.imageshack.us/img91/4537/screenshothp4.th.png

@Eddie : It started out as a geek factor, I'll admit. But later on, the advantage became clear. Speed. Anything I can do in KDE, I can do in ratpoison faster. I do log in to KDE every once in a while to look at the wallpaper

but I don't miss it that much. The reason for speed is pretty simple. Rapoison is literally that : poison for that rodent. I don't have to touch the mouse, so I don't waste time moving my hand from the keyboard to the mouse and back.

I do not know what kind of system resources you have at your disposal and I also don't know what kind of work you do but still I am expressing my views. Don't take it in the spirit of "My software is better than yours"..its just a general comment.

I have tried ratpoison for very small amount of time but I am a regular user of screen (but moving very strongly towards konsole now). AFAIK both ratpoison and screen share similar commands. After using it for that small amount of time, I do not see anything in ratpoison that can entice a user with reasonable system resources towards it (except geek factor).

I understand that a coder might not need to move his/her mouse in ratpoison at all but so can be done in KDE as well. I simply do not see how it is more "usable" then KDE.

Ratpoison is a very efficient manager of screen space. No space is wasted. In KDE, you have to move your windows around, and it becomes hard if you're managing 5 or 6 windows at the same time, which is normal in many developing environments. Rarpoison does this with ease. As I said, it does have a very steep learning curve, so it is not possible to get to know it in a short time. It has to grow on you.

And in answer to another of your questions, I am a developer, so I'm coding most of the time, and I do have enough resources to run KDE smoothly, so it's not the lack of resources thing.

Here's mine, Open SuSE 10.1

Ratpoison is a very efficient manager of screen space. No space is wasted. In KDE, you have to move your windows around, and it becomes hard if you're managing 5 or 6 windows at the same time, which is normal in many developing environments.

You need to look at Windows Behavior in KDE's Control Center. Specifically "Placement" and "Snap Zones" under "Moving". It can be configured to be as space saving and as random placing as you want.

See, I am not saying that you need to use KDE. I am just saying that KDE is probably the only DE that can be "configured" in what ever way you want. It can mimic most of the WMs and DE in functionality while looking beautiful

Here is Ubuntu Edgy Eft default:
*iup.in/img/praka123/thumb/Screenshot8.jpg

Hi guuyss,
Why is this thread not getting enough replies even when the Linux desktop enhancers are out??

Neways here are some desktop shots from my newly acquired Ubuntu Edgy with Beryl.

1 . *www.imageupload.com/uploads/thumb_e7251_Screenshot.png 2 . *www.imageupload.com/uploads/thumb_bdd1e_Screenshot-1.png

3 . *www.imageupload.com/uploads/thumb_5835b_Screenshot-2.png 4 . *www.imageupload.com/uploads/thumb_ef5a4_snapshot2.png

Notice the genie effect in second image! It was quick but I took it anyway!
Njoy the Bery l!

great shots!!!

Check out my 3D Desktop of Fedora Core 6:
*discoverlinux.blogspot.com/2006/11/3d-effects-of-fedora-core-6.html

whoa!! I have never imagined that Linux can look so beautiful.
@mediator, thanx to u , I just applied beryl on my edgy and Its wonderful. Just one problem , my system has become slow and some options like in menu bar of image viewer dont come when I click on say File . Edit , etc.
Is it natural or my system config dont support beryl???? I dont have GFX card and my RAM is 512 MB , 2.4 GHZ proc.

HI @phenom I'm glad u liked it. Neways, beryl works awesome with compatible graphic card. Whats is ur onboard graphics? U should install the one that is available for intel then.
My system hasn't become slow, but startup time has increased by 1-2 seconds. The menu bar shouldn't be affected. Everything on my lappy is working fine. Since beryl is still in development stages and is little unstable, u can say I'm lucky to be experiencing it flawlessly.

U shud execute the following code to check if everything will work fine.

glxinfo | grep direct

If it says yes, then ur the lucky one and install beryl with compatible graphics.

@mediator, my onboard graphics is 64MB. and below is the output of ur said command.

root@phenom-desktop:~# glxinfo | grep direct
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
direct rendering: Yes
root@phenom-desktop:~#

Now what does it means ???

libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

This line is showed in my terminal too with different end code. But everything works fine on my lappy. I guess ur 64 MB onboard graphics is insufficient and that may be the reason why ur Ubuntu is running slow with beryl. May be I'm wrong here,I'm not so sure. On my lappy onboard is 128 MB. U may buy a nvidia graphic card. That shud solve all ur problem. If I'm correct, I think 256 MB graphic cards have become cheap these days. U may consult some websites and buy a descently priced 256 MB graphic card.

On my desktop, I have fedora 5 with 256 Mb graphic card. I'll use beryl on it when I'll upgrade the distro and tell again the difference in speed and stability. But I'm not free for 1 month so as to upgrade fedora.

So, In ur case I guess the 64 MB is the bottleneck. Mean while post ur desktop screenshot with beryl. Also check if u can increase ur onborad graphics from BIOS .

M

You have direct rendering enabled.
BTW, why are you logged in as root?

Does intel 845GVSR support GFX cards ????? Also I m finding it difficult to take the screenshots , how to take them ????

@mehul,What is direct rendering ??? also , I was logged in as root coz i was installing some applications that time.

Screenshots => press "printscreen" or use ksnapshot, set timer in it to take pic automatically after given delay.

Q. : What is Direct Rendering?

hey guys , help me take screenshots in my ubuntu edgy with beryl. when I use printscreen , it just takes the screen shot of one screen/desktop and not the 3D one. what to do ???

Use ksnapshot dude, set the timer, rotate the cube and take the pic.

beryl setting manager>> animations
in "choices" tab in "close effect 1" select "burn"
close window normally either by mouse or Alt+F4

Thanks.

My Debian GNU/Linux Testing with Beryl + AIGLX infact it is a bit faster than in my Ubuntu Edgy!

@sariq , how u take screenshots in ur edgy ???? I tried printscreen but it took only one desktop .I also tried ksnapshot but an error occured.
please tell...

Excellent!!! Brother, please share the secret of your beautiful desktop...

@phenom:for taking screenshot of 3d desktop,try moving 3d manually by pressing CTRL+ALT and press mouse left button to move right or left desktops and doing this u can take screenshot by printscreen key afaik.it worked 4 me!

@phenom : Update ksnapshot!

S

yeah, for taking 3d desktop's screen shot i have installed ksnapshot. it has timer for taking shot. set it to say 10sec and rotate cube...

@phenom : Beryl has snaspshot or screenshot plugin. Enable that first from settings manager.

hey guys , beryl effects were mind blowing. But as my system doesnt support those , it was creating problems like slow PC and many other bugs like window minimise , maximise prob , hanging prob etc. So I just uninstalled those and everything is fine again. except that resolution now is 1024*768 , earlier it was
1280*720. I m now used to 1280 one and I m unable to revert back to 1280 , any attempt hangs my pc. what to do ???

D

@~Phenom~ hi dude which distro?

I m using edgy eft.
And My system configuration is :
P4 2.4
512 MB RAM
250 GB HDD
Intel 845 GVSR

S

my configration is Celeron M 1.5Ghz, Intel 915 with on board graphics, 768MB RAM, beryl is running fine, only water effects are not working some error is coming while launching beryl manager - some thing like water could not be loaded

D

@~Phenom~
first create one small text file on desktop and insert following command on it

Code:

 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and save it

now open terminal and do the following procedure

Code:

 cd /etc/X11  
sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old 
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

now configure xserver-xorg
and than press
ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE
it will bring resolution back to normal

@ sariq ,Hey buddy , u have got better RAM and onboard graphics , thats the difference

GNome started creating helluva problems , so I shifted to KDE and now everything is fine. Thanx anyways.

Ok , I'am biased , but this is got to be the most geeky/hacky/<insert a better word here> desktop ever. It took me 2 nights / 1 day to build completely.
*img300.imageshack.us/img300/6511/sathya1sc8.th.png
Atleast this got to be the most effort-taking desktop ever to build.

What you need:
fvwm 2.4 (the window manager)
conky (system monitor)
xscreensaver
xearth (cool 3d background)
also fvwm 2.4 must be compiled after applying the transclucency patch for the transclucent menus to work.

Files:
Place the following in your $HOME direcory and restart X to get it working.
.fvwm2rc , .xinitrc, .conkyrc.

And for my friend eddie, he once did my fluxbox config in kde, this is gonna give him more challenge i guess. ;-)

M

OMG. RMS is not going to be happy with this. So many proprietory softwares I can see - acrobat reader, skype and God know what more

Acrobat Reader is there because i dont want to install Evince and bring the GTK-GNOME hell. But yes, i forgot xpdf, thanks for reminding. And Skype has to be there, no way iam gonna avoid it. ;-)

Atleast iam not like the few people who use Opera, when better alternatives are available ;-)

M

I am most comfortable with Opera and no other browser can give me the same level of comfort. And I have never followed such things strictly. I have a few more proprietory softwares in my system as of now.

Can anyone show me what beryl does and looks like.

@djmykey, Checkout the Features of Beryl click here

NOTE : Click on the Image thumbnails to view a bigger picture.

M

mikey beryl is just a composting manager. The UI that we see is XGL/AIGLX. So, the effects are of XGL/AIGLX.

^^ Technically the effects are of beryl only! XGL/AIGLX is only a platform for beryl/compiz to run. Like we say aero is the UI of Vista, whereas the thing runs on Direct X 10.

If you're on Ubuntu, just do a sudo apt-get install cmatrix

For a nice effect, use this command
cmatrix -b -C green

Hehe, try pink sometime, burns eyes

S

@phreak0utt: yes, it is cmatrix with semi-transparent terminal.

@QwertyManiac: can it be used as screensaver? or/and in full screen.

^^
Nopes, I dont think so. Cant be done in Gnome/KDE but if you are in the Linux Terminal environment, you can apply this

cmatrix -s
am not sure what cmatrix -x does though
But see in your screensaver menu, there is a cooler 3D matrix screensaver with fading characters in it. Its called GLMatrix I think.

Yeah.. Nothing beats GL Matrix. That's the best matrix screensaver i've ever seen!

LXP it is a theme for icewm desktop enviorement. gnome is certainly better in terms of functionality. installed now, just for testing, it reminds me of xubuntu (print screen key not working). i am posting here mine 2 screenshots taken with ksnapshot

^^Yea I agree, real nice image. I loved it at first glance.

Hi paragkalra & tech_your_future, I check both your blog sites and really liked them. I especially agree with waht parag wrote in his blog about Linux not being a very easy OS for beginners. Having said that I'd like to suggest if either of you (or anyone else who is a hardcore Linux user/geek) can start a thread (or add in your blog's) some tips for newbies to Linux about how to install plug-ins, programs etc.

Basically some simple things that you know which you feel newbies would get stumped on. You can even get feedback from newbies/recent converts to linux to tell you the problems they face. It'd be nice if it does not include any jaragon but in a simple way so an newbie can understand. Because all the forums & linux sites I visit they make it sound so complicated which is a major put off for any novice who is thinking of shifting or trying out Linux. If all you linux gurus put your heads together you can really come up with a great thread that will be helpful for many people like me...hey who knows you might even help many people to convert from windows.

What say?

caleb there's a lot of resources out there. Read the sticky posts. They have a lot of links and many of them are addressed to new users. Implement them as you read, you'd become familiar using linux without much effort.
There are really nice documentations out there so we need not really reinvent the wheel. There are a very few areas that aren't really covered, if you look deep enough.

@ mehul

Flubox looks ugly, why r u using so dated UI. There are many good themes for Gnome or KDE, even lite.

1) First of install artwiz fonts because they look great on this WM and most of the Fluxbox themes use them.

2) For themes either look at fluxbox site itself or boxwhore.org. One of my fav themes is alexpress from boxwhore. Look at the screen
*www.boxwhore.org/modules/wfdownloads/images/screenshots/me.png
Fluxmod is down since I don't remember but lots of distros have archived their themes. They had some very good themes before they went down. Look in the repositories of your distro for them.

3) Install rox filer and use it as your file manager. Any other manager if used will probably nullify the very reason behind using Fluxbox i.e. being light on resources.

4) For transparency look at composite extension to X server and xcompmgr. IIRC there was an article about it on fluxbox wiki. You can look for it.

It depends on how u configure it! It is light on resources and if configured nicely can look even better than Kde or Gnome! U can search for "fluxbox" in image section of google and experience how nicely people have configured it. It becomes a total piece of art and involves imagination to decorate it!

Afterstep, haven't seen one of these around here. If someone can help me find a nice couple of themes for Afterstep, it'd be great.

Recently while converting to Gentoo 64bit I used Afterstep for sometime and I must say I found it way more usable then Fluxbox. Nice colour combination you got there

M

Well it's messed up for the time being when i tried installing a new theme. Hope reinstalling it restores everything. Yeah it's really nice and with the pager on it's so much better organised. It has some nice configuration options too but i am not so good there. People better at it can do a lot. I saw some screenies they were really nice.

Heres mine,
simple and good.

Hey am not waging wars, thats the fact, i hav tried *ista bfore and thought that those nice transperency effects actually worth praising but when i installed Ubuntu 7.04 and lo my default desktop res was already set to 1280x1024

without the need of any video drivers.

And yeah Beryl + other effects are way better than *ista (is it better spelled that way) and considering the performance i am ovewhelmed. Now am not paranoid abt virus attacks (though i never had any major virus attack for past 2years in windows).

Edit - you might notice that I took much of this from conky.sourceforge.net (they have a screenshot page with links to .conkyrc files and scripts), but that I modified the tcp_portmon sections. I realize that *typically* the higher ports (32768+) are outgoing, and that *typically* the lower ports are incoming, but that seemed a bit senseless to me...I know the damn ports, so I just put them 1-65535 on here...I know that if I see port 22 local, that sshd has been connected to with an *incoming* connection, and if I see port 80 remote that an *outgoing* http connection has been made...I just dropped the incoming/outgoing nonsense because it seemed too restrictive.

M

Thanks. Yeah I am aware of that sourceforge page on conky, that's where I got my last conkyrc file from. One thing I liked in that was the fetching of headlines from RSS feeds.

^^ Yeah, I used the RSS script for Gentoo Linux Security Advisories...I also toyed around with the GMail script, but I hated having to blur that section of the screen every time I wanted to post a shot...

All Running on Ubuntu GNU/Linux Gnome Desktop Environment.

^^How much Ram is needed to run this .. when ever I run berly I get White SCreen Of Death

I have 256 MB ram on my system

Is running on Compiz-Fusion btwn.
I got a XFX 7300GT 256MB dedicated RAM.it run flawlessly.I think @shashwath -u get hold of some good deal on any NVIDIA graphics card! on Bazaar Section of forum

dont buy AMD ATi if u want Linux to run good.
btwn WSOD?LOL

Beryl runs comfortably on my GeForce 6600 GT 256 MB graphics card. System memory might be an issue at 256, but as long as you're capable of direct rendering you should be fine (depending on the distro's RAM requirements...some are upwards of 256 MB, but I doubt any would be higher than that).

Beryl is a TON of eyecandy for the requirements, actually.

Edit -

@praka123:

Don't you just love those water effects?

^yup.those rain effect is so cool btwn wiper too

btwn i was stuck with a VIA unichrome earlier dr00ling on compiz effects sometime back.I'd say VIA chipset(horrible,terrible,no other words) and ATi gfx cards drivers sucks in GNU/Linux.

I won't purchase another ATI card...they seem to require more "maintenance" than GeForce-based cards, Windows OR Linux (but especially Linux). Last time I upgraded my wife and my computers, I bought nvidia all around. (speaking of which, those 6600's are probably getting a bit "tired"...might be time to upgrade again haha).

What happened to old Mrs. Rocket? I hope u didn't upgraded to a nVidia wife, lolz

rocket357 said:

right on the point!!! you need full direct rendering support.

shashwat, if u want simple effects then try the built in desktop-effects (based on older compiz). if u are looking towards compiz fusion wid 256mb ram (system ram) then i'd suggest try beryl wid taxing effects turned off. compiz fusion, imho is a bit slower.

i run compiz fusion on my laptop wid an ati igp 345... since its based on the older generation ati engine, the opensource driver radeon runs just fine. the problem is wid the newer ati cards. if u plan to buy a card now, i'd recommend an nvidia card too. btw, what graphics adaptor do u currently haf?

i haf 512mb main memory out of which 32mb is shared as uma and i find that compiz runs just fine. of corz the settings are tweaked for a balance between performance and eye candy!

infra_red_dude said:

At the terminal as root run:

glxinfo | grep direct

That'll tell you if you're running direct rendering, Swashwat. If you are (it'll say Direct Rendering: Yes), then you should be fine. Without it, however, no amount of RAM in the world will help you run Beryl smooth because you're running in *software* rendering mode, and that's slow =(

I'll say use "glxgears" it can show FPS etc.

mehulved said:

Bah...the question is NOT how pretty it is (use glass monitor on KDE superkaramba if you want a pretty monitor), but more accurately: is it functional?

Yes, gx, I'm stating an opinion here...feel free to poke fun at me for my non-color-coordinated desktop if you wish =) haha

But seriously, perhaps I'll sit down and write a mod to conky to "consolidate" connections like what you're seeing here (multiple connections to "blah.blah.google.com" port 80). If I can find the time...heh

*img1.putfile.com/thumb/2/4900455861.jpg

This isn't so bad for color coordination...

M

Yeah it is functional and it is light, that is why I use it. I have never given much importance to the looks.

btw, which file manager is preferred to be used with fluxbox? anything except rox-filer?
secondly is there anything i can do to fix the fonts in fluxbox? they look terrible specially in opera, when i run it with flux as wm.

M

mc? I rarely need a file manager, so I don't really use one.
Check *gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fluxbox it has some nice resources on fluxbox. And check the links at the bottom.

Did you compile Fluxbox with support for FreeType/FreeType2 and imlib? (well, if you can set a background, then I'm assuming imlib is compiled in...heh)

You can use any filemanager you want (Nautilus, Konqueror, Gentoo (the filemanager, not the OS heh), etc...). Check that link mehulved, gave you...there's a lot of good pointers in there.

yeah that link was really helpful, thanks to mehul

well it was a precompiled package, fbsetbg was there already so yeah i could set the background, still i can't get over the font problem and conky flickers everytime it updates the stats, kinda annoying, any fix for that? it says failed to start double buffer continuing with single buffer :S

its the first time i've seen this kind of tabbing implementation and i must say its cewl and slit too is really nice thingy to play with.

mehulved said:

whatever

Well, I've considered releasing the script (perhaps as a download at conky.sourceforge.net? I don't know), and as always I'd release under the GPL...so if anyone is interested, I'll post the script.

Namelookups are a possibility. I hadn't considered it because the names are typically longer than the ip addresses, and when you get a lot of connections going it can get pretty messy on XEarth. Perhaps I'll make the display of hostname or ip a user-configurable setting? I modified the script last night to cache lookups locally so the script wouldn't have to constantly perform geoip lookups, so perhaps I can do the same with hostname resolution.

At this point, the script is still very bare and alpha, but it works and I'm happy to see that people are taking interest in it. Again, any ideas are certainly welcome and I plan on continuing development on it for some time...who knows what all the code will allow for?

The Vista thing is KDE. I used Beryl with one of the Vista emerald themes and a Vista KDE theme for the panel that I found at kde-look.org. The firefox ie7 theme is from mozilla.

Overall it's off a bit here and there, but pretty nice.

I'm not terribly familiar with Mac from a UI standpoint (I've studied a bit on the inner workings mostly because of my interest in FreeBSD), but it really looks nice!

thanks for the compliment fellows

i'm trying to make the full top gnome panel transparent (including the gnome menus and the tray part). any suggestions?

*img2.putfile.com/thumb/8/22122533074.jpg

Updated to XPlanet...though it seems to be a bit more resource-intensive. I'm still working on getting the code hosted somewhere...

Edit - I'm also working on writing up a full howto for KDE, Gnome, and Fluxbox (and perhaps XFCE)

^^^ whoa! thats a great desktop rocket!

ps: i found out that i'm not able to get the top gnome bar to be completely translucent coz of the theme. this setting (the ubuntu menu and tray not being transperent/lucent) has been put into the gtk theme settings file. i'm trying to compare the gtkrc to other themes. lets see if i can trace it. any help wud be appreciated

So I decided to try out black this time! And this is where I landed without beryl!

u guys hav lot of time too decorate ur desktop, i'm always falling short of it.

^^^
me too.but simdock seems interesting.visiting *ubuntuforums.org gives more ideas.

i've posted abt simdock in the other thread: customize ur ubuntu desktop.

@shashwat
thats a great desktop!

kudos... yeah thats the taskbat transparency i want in the theme i use (a darker leopard theme) hey can u do me a favour? can u upload the gtkrc and panel.rc files so that i can study them and figure out what i need to change in mine? or can u gimme the link from whre u downloaded the gtk theme? thanks in advance

btw, if u want the min/max/close buttons on the left side of the title bar then u can configure that in gconf-editor to make it more macish

The things I used are Icon : - *www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/OsX_MoD?content=54851

Windows Border. .as I told u my border ain't changing autom. so I used this *www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Humanoid-OSX?content=35753

++ This theme *www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Kougyoku-Simple?content=64122

These are the present things

heres
mine i will post how i did it if anyone wants
it's a ubuntu 7.04 made to look like a vista i have not added much eye candy still looks nice

what do u all think

heres the link
*bayimg.com/cAFAEAabJ

^^^ thats a nice desktop praveen

u can use nuveoXT theme for more vistaish icons.

@shashwat

to move those application control buttons over to the left, like on the Mac start the gconf editor, by running gconf-editor from a terminal window or alt+f2 run window. goto apps>metacity, then click on general. in the RHS you'll see a list of settings. click on the button_layout entry, then on the value field next to it. default setting is:
menu:minimize,maximize,close

to switch the window controls to the left, move the menu to the end, like this:
close,minimize,maximize:menu

the ":" is to separate the left from the right buttons.

How to put a trash icon on desky

I mean whats the command for it

if u are using ubuntu then you need to do that in gconf editor. but i suggest you download gtweakui-nautilus package. which is a gui frontend to many nautilus gconf options. u can enable trash on the desktop from there.

infra_red_dude said:

hey their is no need to change the icon by tat method, when i closed avant, restarted and again opened avant. I found icon changed this time.

ok then the icon theme must be hafing those symbolic links by default. not many haf it. so i'd posted a sureshot method to get them

infra_red_dude said:

go to

System Tools > Configuration Editor

apps > nautilus > desktop

check the value field for 'trash_icon_visible'

you should see the trash icon on the desktop.
if you don't install that package.

Infra can you please explain how you managed a desktop like that. I would love to have a Desktop like that.

Thats the new version of the Mac4Lin pack. You gotta wait a few dayz till I release the ver.0.3. I just completed documentation today.

Till then you can check out Shashwat's ubuntu customisation guide (search the open source subsection for that) or the previous version of Mac4Lin (ver0.2) at *sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin. Download all packages. It has installation instructions too.

So its the thumbnailview which u have to select and apply! U can apply which eva u like!

Gusty for the win

Ani. you forget to add icon in ver3.

The 1 I d/l for gnome-look has few missing icons and distri butor logo is diff. from 1 that is place in scalable 48 folder

Gnome 2.20 has issues with the old icons I guess.

@shashwat:yeah.Ubuntu FTW!urs too cool!

Cool desktop, shashwat!

Yes, the icon structure in GNOME 2.20 is different. This has been indicated in ver.0.3 download instructions, readme etc. So not all icons will be replaced if this icon theme is used in Gusty.

I just installed Gusty. I've also started work on the Icon theme. Done wid a few. Will continue work on Monday....

Can some show me the code to post thumbnails? I don't use Imageshack (they delete my uploads in my account without any reason). I use Photobucket.

Please check this thread , I havent added PhotoBucket in that but I remember when you select a image in PhotoBucket after uploading you will get the codes at the bottom of the image/page. Select BB codes in the list.

Aren't you using emerald themes?

^^^ I don't think so. Its the glossy GTK theme I believe.

MetalheadGautham's desktop

mehulved said:

no

I chose the clearlooks theme(available by default) for the window borders.

I chose the human theme for the icons(available by default)

I installed gDesklets for those desktop eyecandies. Just select them from its menu to place them on the desktop. they are configurable too. I chose the clock, cpu meter, ram/swap meter, calender, weather and the ultra cool mac like app launcher. you can even get replacements for the gnome bars.

I think the wallpaper makes all the difference

Then,
Introducing the real 3D Compiz!

Wodor has hacked together an anaglyph plugin for Compiz that turns ordinary monitor into a real 3D one. The blurry image you see below is an anaglyph rendered by the plugin, you need 3D glasses or use anything transparent red (left eye) and cyan(right eye) to view the magic.

*farm3.static.flickr.com/2150/1813501546_46a7ce00ca.jpg
click here to view it enlarged, you should see desktop icons drop back and windows floating in air.

Although I do not think that people would be wearing funny glasses all day long to work on their PC, possibilities this plugin presents are quite exciting for gamers and everyone wanting to show off the ‘real’ 3D desktop.

The plugin is in testing/unstable/unsupported home:cyberorg git repository.

Edit: Few more images and source tarball here: *wodor.org/anaglyph/

My latest at work (I used to have WinXP running on the dual core and Gentoo running on the Celeron, but I took the time to swap them around when our SQL Server dev machine got upgraded (making it usable for work haha) since all I really need WinXP for is testing our webapps in IE6/7). I decided to follow the seamlessrdp guide so I could use both monitors on my Gentoo box, and it's working out nicely =)

I think the audi makes all the difference.

I installed gDesklets and placed those nifty desktop widgets
I threw in that wallpaper.

You can do that in the emerald theme manager.
Select a theme, then go to Edit themes->Titlebar
Change the line of Titlebar Object-Layout

~Rs2000-Rs2700 depending on the brand. Kingston@Rs2350 isn't bad.

thanks for the info. BTW, how far is SP Road from K.R.Market bus stop?

PS: Hey anirudh, how do you create/arrange/resize pics for creating a theme on gnome? I need to export the modifications I made by combining Your M4L, another guy's Linsta, and the offitial Cannonical Ubuntu Studio Theme. How can I create a single theme .tar.gz file with them?

1) Not very far. You gotta walk down from K.R.Market towards Town Hall and you reach S.P.Road.

2) Almost all of my work is done on The GIMP. You can use gThumbviewer for resizing/converting formats. I'm unable to get what exactly you wanna do. Why do u wanna resize? Rather, what?

ya i know, but you know this is the first time i'm customizing suse. you know it really doesn't needs customization because we tuxizens have Compiz Fusion.

Umm...I thought the whole point of Compiz Fusion was customization?? Oh well...to each his own. Personally, I dont like that Mac wallpaper...too ghey.

Can you the post the links to the resources? Theme/Icons Wallpaper etc.?

wallpaper : found somewhere at deviantart and anyways here it is

*www.imgx.org/thumbs/small/11396_udixx/Stairway_to_Heaven_2_by_Joker84.jpg

theme is samui gtk port at gnome-look and icon theme was made by me cos the old icons in the theme don't work with gnome 2.20.1 and the rest of stuff
AWM
SCREENLETS with compiz widget layer

I think abhinandh's distro is fedora 8. It changes wally colour by time of the day. So darkness and brightness change often. Its one of the new uber cool fetures of wearwolf(codemane for Fedora 8 - HooooWoooo-OOO-OOOO)

mines's ubuntu gutsy.it became black due to compiz widget layer.
normal wallpaper though.

LOL! bad guess there!

i came to know that fedora has a patched gnome and it uses an xml file as a wallpaper.so i guess we can't use it in other *nixes.
but was thinkin about writing a python script and adding as a cron job.

guys found it to be very easy.no need to patch gnome.....
just get the fedora wallpapers at *www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Fedora+8+Wallpaper?content=69684

and

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule

then run gnome-schedule and add recurrent cron jobs.thats it.
btw command to change wallpaper is

Code:

 gconftool-2 -t str  -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "path_to_the_file"

after quite a bit of searching i found another set of wallpapers.will post if anybody wants.
heres one of wallpaper from the set
*www.imgx.org/thumbs/small/11568_mc6cg/09-00.jpg

^^ My sourceforge project does something similar (wallpaper switching). It gathers ip connection information and generates an xplanet marker file, runs xplanet to generate a new wallpaper with the ip connections plotted out, then sets the background using the new wallpaper. Switching wallpapers programmatically is not difficult at all.

@abhinandh
Thanx for the info dude,
Its gonna be even easier for xfce users,
All they have to do is add the files to backdrop list and add a cron job to do "xfce-desktop --reload" every hour.

Oh and could you post the other set too,
I like it more than the original fedora set.

Thanx

My 80GB seagate sata went kaput

so installed Ubuntu afresh on my new hdd

wallpaper from interface lift
hardware sensors cofigured using lm-sensors and sensors-applet for displaying in panel(hddtemp,processor temp)

that curious red and green button for switching ON and OFF my broadband(bridge mode)

My desktop is actually very messy with lot of files and folders

I took screenshot by scheduling gnome-screenshot for 3 seconds and I pressed F5 for that much time

so a clean desktop shot

hows the idea?

Here's mine again.Just changed the wally:

Using KDE 3.5.8

@darkstar

hmm... thats something different, which OS is it ?

^^ Sabayon is my guess .....

I think your guess is wrong. Sabayon KDE has a different appearance. I think its Kubuntu

Nice desktop, shashwat. You still running on 845 gfx?

Ya it is Kubuntu

yep I am still stuck on 845

Sorry for offtopic discussion but how is the perfo. with Compiz on KDE?

^^ To be precise enough I found KDE more advance and much responsive.. Except the errors I am facing

KDE is much faster, applications didn't hang like in gnome .. Browser loads Java site faster than Gnome .. in both DE I use FF.. I am pretty happy except the NTFS error

legolas said:

You should find that the windows are more "consistent" now. The title bar (with close min max buttons), the menu bar (file edit etc.) and the toolbar (back, stop, save etc.) now blend perfectly with each other

All are greyish.

The one you were using previously (MacMenu version) is for those who use the MacMenu hack with GNOME, not for normal installs.

Even compiz did not utilize that much ram

How about this

Next will be similar to KDE mod? I have seen Mac Menu Bar in Kubuntu and used it someday.. But now I forget from where I had opened it ? :s Any idea ? Is there anything like Character map for Kubuntu ?

^as always nice!

apt-get install kcharselect ? for character map
@shashwath:kdemod means kde modular;is specially compiled for archlinux for speed and response.

it is AFAIK only for arch linux

apart from that kdemod~=kde.just that unlike full kde bloat,it bundles as individual packages.

@Dark Star

To create the Mac style Taskbar (arross the top of screen) carry out the following steps.

1. Right click on anywhere on screen.

2. Select "Configure Desktop"

3. Select "Behaviour"

4. In the "General tab" you will see a set of option buttons.

5. Click "Current applications Menu Bar" (Mac OS Style)

6. Click "Apply" then close the "Configure Desktop" settings box.

Well parka I am using Kubuntu for time being.. I cound not install anything in it.. I created a new user group and fail to add admin privileged in it now I cannot use sudo,kdesu,su orany other also I cannot open Administrator application , therefore I cannot edit my acccount

That's why I am waiting for my boards to get over after that I will install Arch

Just 1 question.. Is there Auto Updates in arch ? If yes why 1 has to install new version .. Like abhi was doing that he was using .7 and now he is gng to install .8 ?

^there is no need to upgrade!thats the beauty of archlinux!t is called "rolling release" -there is no particular issue on time basis:
for an up2date arch system:
it is:

root@myhost:~# cat /etc/issue

Arch Linux (Core Dump) \r (\n) (\l)

pacman -Syu -solves all the problem-better than apt in my opinion,but some experience with Linux is needed before trying arch.
archwiki explain this all:
The Arch way:
*wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way

regarding new user and groups,u can look whether the sec groups are the same:

Code:

root@myhost:~# cat  /mnt/etc/group | grep prakash
adm:x:4:prakash
dialout:x:20:prakash
cdrom:x:24:haldaemon,prakash

admin:x:110:prakash
netdev:x:115:prakash
powerdev:x:117:haldaemon,prakash
prakash:x:1000:

^for ubuntu.
also reinstall gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends.
u can add adm group to ur new user as:

Code:

gpasswd -a username adm,netdev,powerdev,lpadmin,scanner,plugdev,video,dip,audio,floppy,cdrom,dialout

rayraven said:

thats coz mac4lin ver.04 doesnt support it. to get complete transparency you need to use compiz settings manager. only then will the panel and menus be transparent.

rayraven said:

use the screenshot app and use the timer feature.

^Thanx,
And I always thought taking screenies of spinning cubes would be more complicated

@ Sunny
you are using the wrong version of gtk/metacity theme. Use the word that does NOT haf the term: MacMenu.
Mac4Lin MacMenu GTK theme is only for those who use the macmenu hack for gnome de (something like global menu of mac os x).

To polish up the desktop you can also remove firefox/help/evolution/terminal shortcuts from the top panel as they are already there on awn.

Also I see an mp3 (namaste london

) being played in totem. Why don't you use software like rhythmbox or exaile? They are much better!

hey ,can i have something like workspaces or different users so that i can use both my sunny hills and mac4lin themes simultaneously???
and yea ill try those players

^Not possible, Although you can have multiple wallpapers across desktops.
Try this for that:*wallpapoz.akbarhome.com/

S

ohh no i like mac4lin but i love my current theme.
Can i use different themes with different users?

^Yeah sure.

And you can use fast user switching to switch. Just click on your username on the top panel and login to another a/c. use the same proc. to get back

^Lolz, its faster to just change a theme aint it

change kicker theme also:

That's called SuSE2, and is there in the default themes that come with the system.

I use kubuntu-desktop with GDM. Its beautiful combo. KDE is highly customisable. Its a very good thing to pair with gnome. I currently am happy with my combo of FluxBox, Gnome and KDE.

And its real easy to find artwork online. Just search, and you can get (mostly RPM) an archive with the theme of suse or fedora.

^fine with Gnome on Debian Sid

and definitely dont appreciate installing kde,gnome together in a distro.if u do want,install 2 different distros in ur hdd.

tell me which KDE distro to use.

Sunny1211993 said:

KDE is as good on any distro. I believe you're on Ubuntu, you can just type

Code:

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

or open Synaptic and search for kubuntu-desktop and select it. That will get you full KDE desktop and apps. It's about some 200MB I believe. There's also KDE4 but I am doubtful about it's stability.

S

@mehulved-Yea KDE 4 wud be awesome if i get it on ubuntu.tell me how to do that??
stability goes to hell,i want some deskie effects

Believe me , once applications start crashing and panel's start disappearing , you'd want stability back.

If you still wanna try it out,
Go here : *kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.2.php

!!!Mac4lin in Prakash's ubuntu!!!

I have installed mac4lin theme yesterday 9PM.just booted into Ubuntu to make sure font issue is gone.

it is very easy to install this theme.but hard to maintain .deb created.as it needs few different approaches in different Gnome versions and distros.

also,I faced crappy font quality in firefox after putting defoma hints in /etc/fonts/ dir.(alias.conf etc).I removed them.this is needed for nvidia cards I think.
Now Fonts quality is OK

guess this is the fix @imav missed few months back.

I have a doubt,How can you bundle tahoma etc fonts without the permission from microsoft ,apple etc :-|

totally, a nice achievement by infra.

As of now, there is no stable dock for Linux. Docks are very very very and very useful if you are running a large no. of apps. In this situation the taskbar/panel gives in.

To correct that just goto /home/<usrname>/.icons/<Mac4Lin icon folder>/scalable/apps folder (you may need to enable View Hidden folder/files option in View Menu in File Manager - Nautilus).

Now find gnome-terminal.png. Right Click > Open with gThumb Image Viewer. Now goto Image menu > Resize (or press Alt + S). Change the size to 128x128 pixels and save this file. Now re-apply this theme or Log Off and Log back in. The terminal icon will be of correct size

@anirudh-when is the next version of mac4lin coming?huh?

You need to add AWN applets package. Just search tht net for guides. You get loads of applets for AWN and Trash is one of them. For Home, just create a new AWN launcher with the command: nautilus /home/<usrename> and assign it the home icon. Alternatively you could try dragging and dropping the Home icon from the desktop/Places Menu to AWN.

You cud also remve the firefox/evolution/help shortcuts from the top panel. If you install the awn applets you also get the desktop switcher which can then be removed from the top panel. You can make the panel then empty which would then resemble the clean Mac OS X top panel.

Next version of Mac4Lin will take sometime as I'm very busy with my admission process. The next version will not haf much features in GTK theme, just bug fixes and a small 2-3 feature set, but a new GDM theme among others.

Edit: Sunny! Oops.. you found other bugs!! I need to change the sizes of all those big icons you see on your desktop!

Resize all of them to 128x128 (sort them by size, so you know when icons are big and need to be resized).

I haf much work for sure then! :))

Could you explain please ?
I'm on a P-4 2.4Ghz with 256 Megs of RAM.
Its not the memory usage of AWN I'm concerned with, its the friggin' cpu usage, every time a new app starts, the awn eats upto 100% cpu just to add it to the list on the dock.
Heck , I've even resorted to compiling it , thinking it would help.
Got rid of the very next day.

hmm.. seems strange.
i compiled awm though cos no debs available for ubuntu64.
believe me it uses 5.2mb mem and almost 2-3% processor when a new app is launched.

^Hmm, Could you state your config please,
also , are you using it on Gnome?
I compiled the latest version with xfce support.(Hate havin to install gnome deps just for a dock)

i had p4 with 256mb ram until dec2007.the usage of cpu/ram was more or the less same.did not bother me anytime.(actually this is first time i'am checking)
now running it on c2d with 1gb mem.

I'm going to release the trace-capable version (0.3.8 ) sometime tonight, then my next goal is to write up a GUI config tool for it (and perhaps include a debugger in there?) so I can get exact info on what's going wrong.

I mean, it's depressing that you can't run GeoXPlanet, seeing as how you kicked off the entire project by posting your screenshot of XEarth a few months back =)

^^i feel so.mint is ubuntu+codecs+good interface(not the same old brown/orange)+a few good additional tools(mint update,mint upload,...)
i also feel a speed improvement from gutsy.
I have all my favourite software installed by default(amarok,thunderbird,mplayer,xchat) so that i don't need to waste bandwidth.

Ur post makes me feel that Mint is better than ubuntu .Ill have to try it!

^u shudve ran vista inside ubuntu

ubuntu in vmware...well hd install is what it is worth (if at all using ubuntu in vmware,get ubuntu-vmware iso)

^ duh man, just installed ubuntu in vmware today coz dont want to have dual boot.

Dude, is there anything alternative to vmware for linux ?

So I can install XP inside ubuntu..

and btw, its not vista, its XP

there is vmplayer or something

try virtual box.but don't expect hardware acceleration to play games.
there is vmware player also.

@gigacore:vmware(also KVM,virtual box,xen and more) is also available in Linux too.I had installed vmware-server sometimes back.running window$ inside Linux is always the better option IMHO.coz in vmware u will feel Linux as what it is 10 years back

(Slower graphics et al)
try vi$ta on GNU/Linux instead!

damn those car wallpapers are so kewl

can i get a link to that car wallpaper???

Mint 32 = Host

gary... It means Mint, 32 bit version.

BTW people... where to get those cartoon like wallpapers? Featured in 2-3 shots on this page? Daviantart?

I am also using Mint 32 and seriously its pathetic.. Theres nothing .. They could have utilized the Ubuntu base very efficiently but its total unpolished OS.. Just a bunch of wallpapers, and useless tools

Playing Video on Mint in fullscreen resembles like I am watching a Slide Show

I guess there's something wrong with my version /cd

On gnome-look there is a fix for the theme . Read the instructions. It involves replacing a file and you are done. Simple command nothing else.

Mehulved is right...Gentoo Linux w/ 2.6.24 kernel. I've run OpenBSD before as my desktop (and it does a good job at that task, honestly), but my gigabit NIC in my home desktop is ummm..."twitchy" now, and OpenBSD (FreeBSD, too) refuses to play nicely with it (on Gentoo it bugs out from time to time, but works for the most part).

When I get some $$ together, I'm going to build a proper *BSD box =)

Edit - I have the OpenBSD page open in firefox because I'm showing connections to named servers (Moscow, etc...), demonstrating that GeoXPlanet is correctly geolocating the servers...

Yes I used the information on wiki for modifying font settings for lcd dislpays.

I have been a long time GNOME user, just trying out KDE for a change and so far I am pleased (moreso because of kdemod). I opted for the minimal KDEmod install (which just installs kdebase, some libraries and very few basic apps like konqueror) This thing is super fast. Probably the most responsive system I have installed till date.

Firefox 3 loads in about 6 seconds for the first time and less than 2 seconds from second time onwards. I am loving it. Next step is to install my webcam (somehow my microphone doesnt work in skype, so need to sort that out as well)

Just another KDE modified to work faster and better only for ARCH . The Screenshot/Eye candy can be done in KDE also .. earlier I used to though Eye Candy + KDE = KDE MOD :

but after I used KDE for a long time I came to know the difference

kdemod =kde modular.

Mehul just wants to keep everything nice and simple.

I understand his feeling, since he is supposed to be running a 768MHz Celeron and a 128MB RAM or something like that. Obviously he wants maximum optimisation and extreme possible performance on his rig.

I am switching to Arch/KDEmod for the exact same reason.

Wtf? Do you even know the guy to talk like that? Do you ever stop trolling?

Just because someone likes something doesn't mean he likes it out of restrictions or force. FYI, he got a much stronger rig than you! Don't comment just for the heck of it! Use your brains

Any for discussions, please start threads in the relevant sections!

well, when me asked him in irc he said he has a worser rig than mine that runs faster than mine.
so i presumed it was the choohazeher that did this

since when is commenting just for the heck of it trolling ?

ontopic: is there any screenshot utility for commandline sessions ?

Thats it dude. The moment I get a HDD upgrade, I am going to start dual booting with Arch and Ubuntu, as is recommended for anyone trying a good linux combo. Ubuntu for Eye Candy and for my family, with easy to use gnome, and Arch with KDEmod for absolute power.

Are you using gDesklets or aDesklets ?

/me takes a bow

I was,admittedly, not doing anything constructive and was also getting bored. So I thought I would take a closer look at infra's screenies. These are some of the interesting things that I noticed:

1. The guy wants to pursue higher studies and is looking at the various candidate universities. NCSU (North Carolina State University?) is one of them.

2. He prolly has an iso or images/resources from gOS which supposedly has a lot of OS X-like features like stacks etc.

3. He is still using a floppy drive ??? Really ??

4. He has Crossover Office installed on Ubuntu. Couldnt make out which version though

This means he is possibly using MS Office on Ubuntu.

5. He has a 17 GB Media partition out of which 7 GB is music. So he is probably having a 10 GB movie collection

6. Using SMP kernel ??

Btw infra dude, I am not stalking you

Was genuinely getting bored here! Lol!

PS: Many of the points are wrong

Nah.. I doubt my parents can adjust to Arch. Text configuring indeed... That would mean I get phone calls and shoutings wherever I am.

Why do you need Ubuntu for work ?

I need a system managable by my tech ignorant parents without hastles.

Ubuntu is the perfect canditate for that. Infact, I might need to leave ubuntu alone on my desktop, perhaps along with windows XP, and take away arch in a laptop once I start my technical education.

Click on the browse button and then browse to the image file. Then click Host it.

nice.. btw.. can you tell me how long did it take to upgrade to KDE 4.1.. and please state you connection too

I don't know the exact time, I chroot'ed from sabayon to arch and followed the steps to install KDEmod. It was some 440MB in size. To hazard a guess, it took me like 12-13 hours to downgrade to KDE.

440 MB.. 4-5 hrs in UL 750.. lets try it

Don't click on New Wallpaper, click instead on the listbox near it and choose Image and then browse and select a file. New Wallpaper is to be used to download images from KDE-Look (Thats why its "new")

KDE is becoming too windowish each release , they'll probably validate you're version before you download wallpapers from the next release onwards

Hey, KDE is still much better than Gnome crap.

And its hardly comparable to windows. Its miles ahead of windows, and is one of the most beautiful software package ever made.

But the end of the day, 3 year old computers like mine still need to use Xfce :cry:

Haha no, its that "Hot new stuff" thing. They want to centralize all extendibles into one online site, even for gaming (Like that XBox gamerzone or so), plasma widgets, etc

lol...kDE is the nearest window experience one can ger.

I'm not using it for the simplicity offered in Gnome and no frail looks.

I don't have a bluetooth headset. Secondly, none of the threads are really anything I have done. I've just linked worthwhile threads which might help others. If you believe a thread needs linking, then be free to send me the link and I'll be more than happy to put it up there.

Gnome and KDE sort of have the same concept. Click on the lower left corner and get the menu. I really don't see why you would want to change that. However you could always install something like fluxbox or e17 and have a radical change in that. Or just install the AWN thingie.

Betruger said:

I think I understand what you mean. Yes there are other ways to navigate items. Xandros on EEE PC for example it mimics a cell phone kind of UI. Most of the programs are grouped on the desktop on the basis of the usage. This another way of looking at things.

Geart Work. Just change the icons.

Welcome to Linux . Theres a couple of things you can do.

Install a Theme
Install a seperate Icon Pack
Use gdesklets , AWN , Conky etc

You can find all of these at gnome-look.org

. You can find the instructions for AWN on Ubuntuforums though.

S

Install only avant window navigator. All other dock suck balls!

thnx guyz......!! I installed icons named "Elementary".........i guess its bit old and try more now........!!!

Use some screen capture app and set timer for taking screenshot and activate the 3d effects.

how to enable 3d effects.......??? scrot have nothing like it or am i missing something ?....!!!

1. Upgrade the repositories list first. Run this in terminal (you need a working internet connection) "sudo apt-get update" without quotes
2. Goto synaptic and search "compiz".. Mark for installation and Apply.. It will download from the repositories and install automatically..
3. Then goto appearances (right click on desktop and select "Appearances and Preferences") --> visual effects tab. Select the last option. If your hardware/driver supports 3d desktop effects, you will be able to select the last option. Else you will be stuck at no effects and basic effects
4. Alt + F2 to bring the run window and run compiz --replace
5. Again do Alt + F2 and run "ccsm" command to bring up compiz options
6. Select 3d windows plugin and other plugins if you want
7. Goto general tab and choose 4 desktops ( default is 2.. increase the slider to 4)
8. Close the compiz manager
9. Press Ctrl + alt + mouse left button and drag the mouse.. Voila you have a 3d desktop

.. Enjoy your computer..!!

i hv done everything like above....!! Okay, but when i press ctrl+alt+mouse left button and dragged nothing happened............what did i miss ??? One more thing, i can see 4 desktops icons but unable to switch b/w them........!!!

Although installed windows -7 alongwith my other distros(Linux Mint-7,Fedora-11,sabayan-4.2,Artix,and Moon OS, I rarely use it or felt that it is not needed.. However not wasting the wallpaper come it just fidlled with gimp then thensfr it to Moon OS
Hey, now how windows wallpaper useful to us.. afterall what is Windows.. Simply a wallpaper OS always be.. peoples don't buy computers they want to show case it so buy it with windows wallpapers..
*img195.imageshack.us/img195/9841/snapshot5k.png

E-17 has so matured ,but ubuntu still showing e-16 repositories..Just go to distrowatch download moonOS which is in its version -3 codenamed 'makara'.. also lot of e themes available download it..

I changed the greenish theme come with 'makara'-original moon os wallpaper is also beautifull and ravishing as Open Suse's Green lizard..sad I have to deposed to dustbin because of its M$ link..

Rather interesting view. However I would disagree merely based on the actual number of users/corporations using it.

You can install e17 on Ubuntu as well.

Microsoft CEO once said 'Linux is cancer' In my view it is worst than that.. Once you taste the success of Installation of single distro, you may want more and ended up with strange disease called.''distroshoppermania' which has so far no cure..Everyday before I go to bed ,'Praise the Lord inthe Heaven, Grant my wish for Tomorrow that I 'll see a single linux Distro in my Desktop".
In the Morning when Distrowatch announced a new distro, my resolution goes in to Heavenly ways.. So far Lord has no mercy on the sinful Linux user like me..
Even my family life was stripped with matrimonial dishormany because of Linux.. My wife strongly believe linux is some sort of secret code exchanged between my 'Lover' in the Internet, she is seriously consider to consult the Lawyer..
So beware friends..
Be careful with Linux!!
It is injurious to your matrimonial life..
It'll make your friends desert you, because only his computer get virus but not yours..

Ok.. why do people love apt-get.. i've always LIKED apt-get but never loved it.. on contrary, I think that yum coupled with delta-rpms is the most powerful package manager in Linux world.. just check this out..

*img402.imageshack.us/img402/904/awesomev.th.png

Just look at the damn awesomeness of yum and that beautiful and neat layout in the terminal window.. If you haven't tried Fedora+Delta RPMs+YUM.. please get the current issue of Linux for You magazine.. they're giving the DVD of Fedora 12 and try it.. you'll be blown away...
