recorded my ubuntu desktop[views:10004][posts:126]_______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 12:00pm - sxealex nli ""] Playing around with a desktop recording utility. a little skippy but fun eitherway. just gotta get sound working bennyhillifier |
| _____________________________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 12:15pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] snazzy. linux is finally looking like a more friendly os for casual desktop use (in my opinion anyway. I know people have loved it for that use for years) |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 12:20pm - sxealex nli ""] i didnt have to type a single command this was all point and click set up |
| _____________________________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 12:23pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Oh I don't mean the use of the command line... I mean that generally the default setup of the GUIs with most distros is boring. Is this KDE or Gnome? |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 12:26pm - the_reverend ""] huh, how did you get that 3-d cube thing to work? |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 12:44pm - sxealex nli ""] synaptic package manager type beryl click all the boxes except the debg stuff... then u can add it as a start up item. i dunno maybe i had to add a repository but i dont remember doing it. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 2:41pm - timjohn ""] pretty slick looking |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 4:39pm - thegreatspaldino ""] sick... im gonna be dual booting ubuntu 7.04 and xp soon. this has made me even more excited. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 4:45pm - the_reverend ""] I'm running 7.04 now. it you are used to redhat, suse, or any of the others that people use, things are in different places. ubuntu is debian based like knoppix. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 5:48pm - sxealex ""] yea but whatever its still really similar. |

I mean that generally the default setup of the GUIs with most distros is boring. Is this KDE or Gnome? its gnome. i had an almost identical set up on kde... but as u know gnome is like 1/2 as much of a system hog. The window manager is independent of the desktop environment im pretty sure u can use anything i think maybe. my friend was using enlightenment i dunno if beryl will work with that ill hav eto find out. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 6:04pm - the_reverend ""] I always wanted to install enlightenment, but I always forget too. that used to be the king of hoggy windows managers. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 6:48pm - the_reverend ""] it's just they put system things in sligtly different locations. plus with debian you never log in as root, you always have to sudo |
| _________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 6:49pm - sxealex ""] yea the root account is disabled. makes getting hacked that much harder |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2007 7:43pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, but it's just a bit more annoying cause I can't do a lot of thngs as easily. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 12:33am - sxealex ""] u can enable the root account |
| __________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 12:35am - sxealex ""] just do sudo passwd root |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 8:12pm - the_reverend ""] sxealex said:the dood i know thats using it says it takes up only 25 megs of ram when I last looked at enlightenment, it was for a 33mhz sunOS machine with a 30MB hard drive. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 8:29pm - sxealex ""] im 23... my first computer had a 30 mb hd |
| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 8:29pm - sxealex ""] and believe me i didnt know what linux was |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 8:32pm - the_reverend ""] my first "computer" was an odessy II back when I was like 5-7. http://www.videogamecritic.net/odd.htm my second was the commadore 64 with a tape drive! and it was running sunOS, not linux. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 8:32pm - the_reverend ""] how do you get it to do the 3D cube thing? |

| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 9:01pm - sxealex ""] and ps i set it up on another comp last night no repository required |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 9:12pm - the_reverend ""] ok, let me re-phrase. I installed beryl already. how do you activate the cube-looking feature of this OS? |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 15,2007 10:06pm - thegreatspaldino ""] i NEED to install ubuntu... my gf wants her sims game to stay though... fucking women. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 9:49am - the_reverend ""] I had the Vic-20 for like 2 days and then my tech-savvy dad returned it for a commadore 64 |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 12:39pm - sxealex nli ""] rev ur kidding right? i posted instructions like 8 timez. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 12:48pm - the_reverend ""] no, you posted instructions on how to install it. i've installed it. the beryl package is 100% installed. now how do i do it? this of it as, I bought the car and the fuzzy dice. the car (adorned with fuzzy dice) is sitting in my yard. it's all insured and everything, but I have no clue how to drive it. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 12:48pm - the_reverend ""] I'm sure the thing isn't going to spin around in cube form on it's own. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 12:54pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I don't get it: There's no system32 to delete. How do you make it go faster? |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 12:55pm - the_reverend ""] two words: speed holes. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 12:58pm - sxealex nli ""] type the command "beryl-manager" ps if u have nvidia make sure u have the proprietary drivers |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 16,2007 12:59pm - sxealex nli ""] to spin it grab the desktop with your mouse wheel click |
