Thanks Vinodh, you're right, I did not need rEFInd/rEFIt. Since the boot-repair program had already blessed the grubx64.efi, it's accessible through the "option menu" at boot like you say.

I...

Thank you for the response! I used gparted to remove the sda5 boot flag, now it has no flags. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but my previously working setup had rEFIt load grub when I wanted...

Hi, I'm having some issues with a dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 and Mac OS X 10.9.2 on a Macbook Air 5,2 (2012 13"). I had originally installed the Ubuntu partition according to the instructions on the...

Switched to Ubuntu on my laptop. It's running openbox with the
luakit browser (light vimperator-esque browser with webkit backend), cmus terminal music player, and apvlv pdf viewer (absolutely great...

I found a better background from wallbase.net, their abstract category has a lot of good stuff. To get the tabs into the status bar, I used the buftabs.js plugin for vimperator and changed a setting...

Trying out WindowLab window manager, it's mostly driven with the mouse, and is a lot of fun so far. The background isn't the most interesting, but those always change pretty frequently anyway.

using vimperator on firefox, and terminator as the emulator; in a gnome environment.
i was really happy to find such an aesthetic background of the VLA (Very Large Array), found it on the sixth or...

Running karmic on my netbook using openbox for the window manager. Just installed the surf browser [1] and am liking it a lot. I recommend it if you're in the neighborhood for a light web browser...

Thank you! It's metacity actually, although it's really easy to do in openbox if I remember right. I think if you poke around the theme file you can find the values for it, and just set them to 1,...

If anybody remembers my last desktop, they'll definitely notice I'm following a pattern haha. I started using vimperator, and gotta say, it's wicked awesome; the hint system is worth it alone. I...

Although I don't suggest it without knowing what all the services and daemon's do, but you can install sysvconfig:

sudo apt-get install sysvconfig
It's a command line utility to help you change...

Thank you! Well, most of it is the murrina graphite compact gtk theme, and the nuove icons (I just moved back to crashbit though, I had almost forgotten how good of icons they were!).
Use the...

Beat me to it PurposeOfReaon haha.

The more likely reason that Debian stable can't play your media with VLC is that the codecs aren't in the free repositories, if you open the contrib and non-free repositories then you can install the...

Thanks! I use the nuoveXT1.7 icons.

Oh, and if anybody likes it, I didn't want to reconfigure openbox, so I edited the No-Title...

I've gotten a new computer, so I've done a fresh install of Debian stable. It's not very exciting, using standard gnome. If anybody likes the wallpaper, I always get them from the deviant art user...

eh, in my opinion tilers just aren't quite as efficient as using a framebuffer console,
or with a bit of practice a binary abacus for that matter :wink:

using a slightly modified (grey-scaled & inverted) version of uribaani's excellent walls from deviantart.
and of course, a background from portal's wall-pack :wink:

Along with Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov is the man.
good piece of his!

haha i thought he was serious at first!
but then it just got silly lol

he posted this as an update,

although i think the 5th point is completely valid :wink:



another one of his objective blogs. lol

you don't need to play the martyr jo :wink:
but you should probably think your words out with tact ..
i think as far as communities go, most linux ones are fairly chill,
but they're still going...

huh, i thought debian/ubuntu weren't very hardened by default.. maybe they are secure; i could just be getting the wrong impression after reading too many articles on how to harden debian systems lol...

well it should be made a relevant point that the beauty of open-source is that it does not have to follow a single path,
in theory and action all the proposed ideas could be fulfilled .. but of...

haha i'm glad i'm not the only one
