Hey everyone. I've tried to install the gnome test build through the ppas available but I'm still stuck with the Gnome Fallback session. Am I doing anything wrong?

I used the Gnome3 and Gnome3...

Eitherway, I ended up installing the pantheon-session, which works just fine and I realized that any errors in display on wingpanel, only occur because of the GTK 3.4 theme you're supposed to use...

Could you explain how you built your session in xfce? Although from I got, it shouldn't really matter if it's xubuntu or ubuntu or even mint.

Well, I've tried creating the session but nothing works. The gala session fails. Anyways, I'd love to see a tutorial at some point but for now I'm calling it quits. Yes, Cinnamon is a bit heavier but...

Hmm, no time for me to test it now but I'll get to it tomorrow.

A couple of questions:

- Why would ubuntu Quantal give better results instead of Mint?
- Why not install Wingpanel while you're...

Could you go about explaining how you did something like that?

As far as I've tried, using the elementary OS daily ppa and installing pantheon-desktop results in really nasty effects(switchboard...

Another bump! No actual solution yet!

Still no solution here!

bump!

Hey,

I recently bought a Geetek Janus II Wireless USB module for my laptop. Upon connection, the device is recognized and drivers are loaded, specifically rt2800usb. The device works BUT

I was given to understand that there IS a way to delete the last panel, though it's a bit tricky. Right / wrong?

Uhm, yeah, that's 8 megabytes, not megabits. Excuse teh noob!

Wow, there are some CRAZY speeds around here! Here's mine, on University student house (through university internet access, which is through 10/100 mb)

I'm sure someone's already asked this, but, is there a way to move all notification area (systray) icons to Docky? That would be really heplful.

Ok, I've got everything working!

For anyone that wants to do the same:

1. Download the minimal cd iso and burn it to a CD.
2. Boot from the CD and install without selecting any desktop...

It seems that the minimal install takes longer than the normal install :(

Either way, I've installed XFCE4, but I don't have audio! Is there a guide to install audio on such systems?

Thanks! I'll try that! Which WM do you reccomend? Can I also install other programs like synaptic, mplayer, firefox or are these depended on gnome?

So is there no way to do this? That's...disappointing...!

I was thinking if I could have only the applications I wanted, I could have a more optimal system. How about installing the server...

Hi, I was wondering whether an optimized installation of Ubuntu is possible. That is, starting COMPLETELY clean, and building upwards. Also, would it possible to optimize the kernel for the specific...

Thanks for your reply, but if you noticed carefully, I didn't complain about raw developing. Yes, Bibble and Lightzone are very good. RawTherappy is free and also very good. But that's not what I'm...

It's so frustrating...there is no single image viewer/tagger that actually works as it should! I know everything is open source and all, but I couldn't even find a commercial one for linux! FSpot and...

I'll add some info about Lightzone pretty soon, I just downloaded the trial!

I've changed the layout of my first post to provide a featurelist for each application, and how it can be used. Please post any suggestions/omissions/mistakes I might have made in the first post, I...

Ok, I've searched this through and through and I still can't figure out a decent complete workflow for RAW images. This if what I've found so far:
(italic are the programs,normal are the features...

1. Gimmie (instead of start menu)
2. kTorrent (instead of bittorrent embedded)
3. GnomeBacker (instead of drag+drop)
4. Qalculate! (instead of calculator)
5. Skype
6. Exaile (instead of...
