^ Its not since its a WIP and I didn't consider anyone would want. Right now there are separate versions for free and net versions. What I will do is add open and put it into one script and let it dynamically sort out the versions and info. Will get to it sometime this week and post up in a script thread. :)

nice scrot mr bacon.

Thanks for env-info Pidsley. I think all of us use it here, screenfetch is for kiddies. :D

[rhowaldt]

thanks pids, works great here.

Drew should send his photos to the wallpaper contest (though, I read somewhere that there's no Ubuntu Wallpaper Contest anymore).

[dkeg]

Nice MB! And thank you! Good to see you again.

[ivanovnegro]

Yes, good to see you.

Thanks Simon :)

No more contest: https://hungfu.wordpress.com/2015/02/22 ... thing-new/
But I would definitely send in dkeg's fogrun photo, as it fits all criteria: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documen ... ackgrounds

And it really really looks like a typical Ubuntu wallpaper, with the Ambiance taste :)

A short intermezzo. TDE is not as snappy as KDE3.5 used to be. Lot of compositing problems, repeated crashes. This is on Ubuntu 15.04 with 15.10 sources, so it might be a factor.

[simgin]

^ Is that a newsreader on top?

[machinebacon]

^ yes, an applet for TDE called knewsticker(-trinity), you can have the same on non-DEs using 'tickr' from the repos. Depends on cairo/pango and gtk, tho'

Code: Select all

depends tickr
tickr
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libcairo2
  Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
  Depends: libglib2.0-0
  Depends: libgtk2.0-0
  Depends: libpango1.0-0
  Depends: libxml2
  Conflicts: tickr:i386

But looks good :)

[simgin]

^ Thanks Julius, handy thing :)

[Dr_Chroot]

Hmm... strange. I had TDE on 14.04 and it was both quick-responding and I never had compositing problems. It has to be something with 15.04/.10

I go through crazed stints of trying Cinnamon, GNOME3, and even KDE as my bloatboat install (mainly for Spotify, T-bird, and Gimp) but I still go back to missing TDE - it just werks :)

[machinebacon]

"New" (old) Portege R400, everything (except backlight Fn) werks out of the box.

Emacs with airline-mode and darktooth theme. That's gnus for reading RSS.

[GekkoP]

^ Very cool!

And thanks for using darktooth, a theme I partly contributed to ;-)

[ChefIronBelly]

^^ looks great.

[dkeg]

That's pretty. I like the bg. Black with mostly green (looks like that from the scrot). What is the bg color?
A nice alternative to airline, which I have been using, is lightline

[wuxmedia]

3 and a half thousand USD on release, amazing looking machine...?

So you can spin it around 180 degs and fold it's screen down to make a hugely fat linux tablet?
Crazy.
Nice scrot BTW :)

[machinebacon]

Thanks Gekko for the contributions to darktooth, seems I ran into it in smart-mode-line :)

Thanks Chef :)

Drew, the bg is #282828 according to the theme file, the green is dominant because the threads in gnus are clickable. A very soothing theme and it always looks good. I looked at lightline, unfortunately not available for emacs, but we have smart-mode-line, telephone-line and powerline, and I will probably end up using the defaults again. :)

wux, sorry good man, you are right -- mine is not the R400, but the R500. *blush* http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-prod ... -r500-11y/ I bought it very cheap (60 EUR), the only thing I hate about it is the screen.
Could never afford a 3000 USD (or even fucking Chinese Yuan) computer :D

Oh yeah, second partition is Frugalware.

An EeePC 701 will be coming tomorrow. Will probably go noX + Emacs with it. Or make a special BeeBQ for it.
