Let me rephrase that :-)
Systemd and my gfx card don't get along :-)

OK, with that in mind, I might attempt to go the other way, and install gnome from a systemd base.
See what happens :-)

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03) Sounds like what happened with the cinnamon release. Which iirc was systemd... On a side note, Interestingly, I just installed boner, it needed nomode...

oh. i didn't make the grub file persistent. I understood that to try it out one could alter the boot line 'just once' iirc that worked before. would making it stick, by doing as you suggested be better? as i seems not to work, i won't right now. as for the packages dpgk -l gives; ii systemd 44-11 am...

how come gnome3 doesn't like systemd?
it runs only JWM (which is nice) or 'classic' gnome on fallback
i simply apt-got systemd.
changed the boot line to init=/bin/systemd.... gets to GDM then fallsback.

not a massive problem. kinda odd, no?

^ Nice 8) 'specially the wall

Hah me too!
Actually spent ages going through wall base. Then I checked out the bbq and there it was a perfect grey to go with flat studio!

hmm bungled the install -again-! get this. dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype: skype depends on ia32-libs; however: Package ia32-libs is not installed. skype depends on ia32-libs-gtk; however: Package ia32-libs-gtk is not installed. tried this; sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386...

just tried 4.1 again - it's (theoretically) ok for i386 architecture, the skype page recommends dpgk --add architecture 386 !!
i have just bungled the install - but i have the 4.0.0.0.8 version. which used to work, if you'd like to host it MB?

gnome3 spam;

welcome siralucard, we have a really good team here. I think anyways.
trollinger is the recommended base, although i have a 'thing' about LDXE...

welcome 4eyes !

thanks - haven't done too much it feels a bit 'big' (or, i feel somewhat small using it) I made the big mistake of installing 'gnome' 8D (in a foolish attempt to bring it up to date) 1.2Gb / 2 hours install later - WTF are all these stupid games and brasero doing here and the office suite!?!?! ahh -...

couldn't resist. kinda liking it.

hmm bacon back, back-bacon hmm

i'm giving another go and it's actually not too bad!

can i ask why the mate repos are in sources-list.d?

I might give it another go though...

yeah, thanks - i saw that and conveniently ignored/didn't understand it. most things seem to work.
being force to get rid of compiz has made things snappy-ier but less wibbly cool
