just wanted to drop by a thanks for the great script. Awesome work and im glad you keep it up to date lol.

startx begins the xserver, what you may want to do once your in there is reinstall your video drivers, or update them.

another good utility if you cant get that one to work is

disk manager



sudo aptitude install disk-manager

If your still in the market for a distro, CrunchBang is amazingly fast and stable, i run it with half of your specs on an extra machine i have.

were you doing anything else??? I don't see how



sudo apt-get update


would ruin anything all that is is checking for new sources.

When you boot from your 10.10 disk, just select the ubuntu 9.10 partition and it will write over your current ubuntu install.

MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR FILES!!!

as far as the pen drive booting...

Just use wmctrl, it allows you to manipulate your windows in the way your wanting to do and it doesn't require any unstable upgrades, or the risk of breaking you system.

whats your problem exactly dude, sounds like you were having the same problem as me when i was a newb and not referencing your scripts in the right area.

Crunchbang Openbox for sure, nice lightweight, only issue i suppose would be configuration.

maybe its a login manager issue, which login manager are you useing??? The default for XFCE or LXDE???

alright, if this is old new's then i'm sorry, but I've just found out how to set something up in open box that's been driving me insane for a while now. I personally enjoy windows "Aero Snap"...

cool, just as an option to get it lighter, you mihgt want to look into using openbox paired with xcompmgr, and as far as the other effects that compiz offers, there's a few light weight alternatives...

launch the driver utility and install the recommended driver, from their reboot, and once it starts again, go to system>admin>nvidia xorg settings manager. (or something like that) From their you can...

thanks for responding, just curious, what exactly is the system usage on your distro? Lightweight Middleweight or Heavyweight?

other than the theme, what did you guys do exactly??? i mean as far as instant on is concerned, linux mint has basically delivered that, plus a large number of utilities for the end user.

Alright so i was searching around the web, and i don't really have the system to run virtual machine, and found this little distro.

the second page of this thread should help you.

im running an install with compiz and all on 256 mb DDR, so yes 512 can lol.

What i would do personally is forgo the "ultimate edition" all it is is the default Ubuntu with a hellacious amount of extra software packages and bloat that dont do anything. As far as the eye-candy...

Magia is nice, tho it is just starting out, might wanna take a look at it.

i used it for a good month before i found my self in "dependency hell", the bleeding edge kernel implementations had broke my compiling abilities for cinelerra. It also broke a few other packages but...

If your wanting something minimal, and still interesting to configure, then try out madbox.

madbox.tuxfamily.org

its a small ubuntu 10.10 based distro using slim DM and openbox.

Alright Ive been using unity, i enjoyed it at first, but its just not proving to be usable for me (not enough control), Ive installed the kubuntu-desktop package, now how would i go about purging out...

Ive used Ubuntu since 9.04, and well so far I'm actually rather enjoying it, seems much more simple then the standard Gnome, and Ive noticed that they have sorta modified some of the GUI's to be more...

i assume you speakers are connected through this as well, or is that a seperate connection? if video works then your speakers may not be connecting through the hdmi port. it could be the cord.
