^ thanks for the link, I am reading it now.
You're right its a big page.

Do you have any advice for a stupid noob, who on one machine used dist-upgrade and thought "It's ok if these packages are removed, I can always apt-get them again later" :D
That stupid noob may or may not be myself :)

^ I follwed those steps and for a week everything was fine. Today when I try dist-upgrade almost all X packages are set to be removed. xorg, xserver-xorg, xserverxorg-core, xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-video-nvidia...

I like ghost dog. can't recall it at all - but I liked GZA at the end. or was it Reakwon one of the wu-Tang. SLC, was that the one with the guy with the gammy hand at the start? One of the characters may have a hand injury at some point in the film......... not wanting to give to much away though. ...

Some great suggestions here, already purchased *cough* Ghost in the shell and Akira.

One of my fav films ever is SLC Punk http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133189/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

I think i've mentioned it before in another thread, but its well worth mentioning again.

Thank you for the fix MB, downgraded both xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg-core on my debian box and everything is working perfectly :)

Happy birthday to "the boss", and you can safely use this title without being sued as Bruce Springsteen apparently hates it.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a drunken birthday address, where you recite the mantra of alsa dominance to the forum faithful.

@ Gekko - found one on UK amazon, £20, not bad. I will consult my accountant and ask if we can afford this. @ Rho - Im sure you could google standing desks and build something. I will be using the picture wux linked along with a tape measure to measure my current workspace and work out what i need t...

I'll try the Prada's next I found that hot :) not sure why, I guess because she went from passive to __________. Totally agree, from vulnerable shaken up lassy to sassy bitch in an instant. I thought she was a rather dull and useless character at first but as the series went on I started to find he...

@rho - I read an article that standing desks are much better for your overall health on the long run. According to the article the participants blood pressure was lower, joints felt less stiff. The participant claimed head,neck and back pain were almost gone by the end of the first week and she felt...

3 wonderfull years! /me raises coffee pot "and heres hoping for many more" I voted for make me a new spin plz It must have systemd, KDE, Java, virtualbox, nvidia prop drivers, no cli apps (i am noob) and skype so i can call for tech support instead of reading the manual. It shoudl be named...

Happy Birthday Gekko, hope you have a great time.

Brilliant! thank you Ivan

I put the compton line in ~/.xinitrc and the tearing is fixed.

that particular song doesn't bother me. i mainly fucking hate "love in an elevator". this is not because i think it is bad, per se, just that the melody annoys me and i've heard it too often. but seriously, to rant a bit now we're here, i fucking hate that melody. that "love in an el...

you are absolutley bloody right, now i have a machine as powerfull as this I will not stand for this! :P

^ thats brilliant wux, worked like a charm!

although it means i have to wait a whole 1 second for the bar to show up after hitting startx, unlike before where this was instant. :D

I will update the first post with the complete files.

@dkeg - thanks, i will look into this soon.

compton has actually just made things worse, before i had no tearing but now i do have tearing with it. If after playing around i cannot get it to work it will be purged.

Hello grillers Im trying to configure i3, and so far ive got the colours I like but they are only being applied to some elements of the i3 statusbar. Below is an image of the bar and the 2 config files : https://www.dropbox.com/s/mvjrd6pjc0rd9m7/2015-07-13-16%3A43%3A25_1366x768_scrot.png?dl=0 Can an...

Baconface, first i tried with just compton & It made the fonts and icons in programs "appear" sharper. No transparency however. Then i tried with compton -bcCGf -i 0.8 -e 0.8 --no-fading-openclose --sw-opti & This time there is tearing when scrolling down web pages in Iceweasel, bu...
