Okay can someone help me.
How do i check the version of my DE in Fedora 16?
And my touchpads right scroll thing wont work.
Help?
Edited:
Fuck me, can't get XFCE to look good no matter what i try.
Okay heres my own solution.
Going back to Mint after a long time, I miss it.
Mint with Debian. XFCE as my DE, even tho' MATE/Cinnamon looks cool. I wont give up trying to make it look good!
Any tips for the looks with XFCE?

Been trying to find one.
And oh god noes! For some reason i couldn't install the fucking XFCE mint debian. Why god?
When i selected my drive it gave me an error saying something like: "Select root -insert something here- (/)".
Going to try with MATE now i think, unless someone know how to fix this problem.

Got Linux with default GNOME running.
Looks good, but the GNOME annoys me. Would still love to keep experimenting with XFCE.
But GNOME is not so bad anyways, think I might just keep it.
Edited:
Oh boy, how many disagrees do I get for saying the new GNOME isn't that bad
-
Actually, Gnome is pretty great. It delivers a complete, well-integrated, and simple-to-use desktop without being overly power hungry. There's a reason that it's the default of every major distro (heck, it even spawned competing shells what with Unity and Cinnamon). I use it myself.
-
Yeah, I've been using GNOME 3 for the last week or so myself. Despite some performance issues due to having a (really shitty) integrated ATI GPU, its pretty great.

What are good Linux IDEs for Java programming and web development?
-
emacs, best os always
-
Eclipse is the go-to IDE for Java.
-
Linux Mint is harsh, I feel it is loaded with more than needed and it's very harsh on my battery.
-
Linux mint is very bloated, or maybe it just feels like it. Same with ubuntu.
-
Been taking a look at openSUSE. Looks very good, specially for working with web dev and just plain office style.
Problem is that it run's with KDE or GNOME 3. I do like GNOME 3, but i rather wan't a more simple dekstop. I know I can download from the terminal but i rather have it from the start, but I might just need to settle with this.
Also how does it terminal work?
Like in Ubuntu, Mint etc. it is: "sudo apt-get install ??
Fedora (redhat): yum install ??
Still looking for a distro that I enjoy using.
Edited:
Seems like I can get the XFCE from here?
-
I believe openSUSE used YaST, but I don't remember the command line switches. I think it actually might have had graphical command-line interface.
-
zypper install

I edited my post.
Looks like I can actually get XFCE pre installed with openSUSE, it's just unoffical.
A fucking cheat sheet, do people actually recommend openSUSE?
-
I like openSUSE very much.
I also like Yast, it makes administration much easier.
-
YaST is exactly what?
And is this trustable or do you recommend using terminal to get my DE?
-
I don't see why it wouldn't be trustable, since it's provided by openSuse themselves. Although if you're in a working openSUSE system already, it would probably be faster to just install the DE from your current system, rather than reinstall your system with the XFCE iso.
-
Running Mint atm.
Just asking if the ISO would be the obvious choice, it's unoffical and runs openSUSE 11.
Well atleast it does, if not I need to go to pre-school again.
-
Why does it have to be so hard to find the POP and SMTP settings for Windows Live mail?
-
Because it doesn't use pop
-
When I go to openSUSE and click download, i can choose KDE, 4.7 GB DVD, GNOME etc.
I choose GNOME and put it on USB stick using UNETBOOTIN.
Do we agree it will install GNOME and openSUSE?
Because it says there are no kernel image for gtfx_boot?
-
IMAP superiority.
-
Got openSUSE running!
But i can't seem to get UNETBOOTIN installed on it, how is this done?
Edited:
Back at Ubuntu running CINNAMON.
And I am in LOVE! Just need to find a way to create new launcher, I know it has something to do with a new script.
Can someone tell me how to do this, when I tried last time it didn't work and i just un-did what I tried to make sure nothing would prompt me errors.
Oh the new setup. <3
-
Now with arch you run on graphical interfaces like Gnome and such?
Is there a way (Like maybe pictures) of comparing them? Maybe a website? or an informative picture?
-
Every Desktop Environment looks pretty much the same across all distro's. Each DE has their own website and most of the websites have a media section.

At lease you got KDE, for some reason that's the one that always slips my mind.
-
Don't forget Enlightenment and Razor-qt!
-
So what would you guys reccomend?
I personally am thinking maybe KDE but I am unsure.
-
If you're using Arch..Just try them all out..Install one, use it for a couple days, then uninstall it and try a different one until you find something you're happy with. Generally if you uninstall a DE with pacman -Rsc you'll leave minimal amounts of crap left behind.
Right now I'm using GNOME 3 and I'm rather happy with it, but it might not be what you want.
-
Personally I used KDE once, and that was enough.
It's bloated, but you can get it to look really nice, just didn't enjoy it.
Right now I am running cinnamon 1.4 and it is PERFECT!<3
-
If you install a display manager like gdm, you can install ALL the desktop environments then select them from a drop-down list during login.
I personally recommend xfce, but you shouldn't listen to others on trivial things like a desktop environment; it's YOUR os, do what you want with it!
-
I wish there was a large list of these things.
EDIT:
This cinnamon looks nice: http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?page_id=61
Opinions?
Also I plan on getting x64 Arch, will this be fine for the sake of drivers and such?

Hey guys, I bought an Android phone. Is it a good idea to install Linux on it?
It's an LG Optimus Net (LG-P690) with Android 2.3.4, and I would like to know whether it's a good idea to install Linux on it or not.
Can you still use the SIM card even if the phone has Linux on it?
-
Technically you already have Linux on it.
Android is based on Linux, though with some tweaks.
-
You could root it and install "Linux installer" on it, allowing you to run a Linux system on your Android phone virtualized.
-
I'm having trouble using the Linux Installer thingy - I selected an Ubuntu Jaunty distro, created, formatted and mounted the loop file and then I hit install. However, it gives a "can't resolve default server" error. I tried googling it, but nothing on par showed up.
Do you guys know how to overcome the error?
Edit:
Allow me to apply my face to my desk. *smashes head against desk*
Wi-Fi was off. Turned it on, installing normally now.
-
Anyone know some app for Unity that allows me to change panel transparency and color? (MyUnity only allows to change the transparency)
-
The best solution is to stop using Unity at all and switch to XFCE/LXDE ASAP!
