[QUOTE=Muracle;38706909]Arch looks a bit difficult for me considering I'm a beginner to Linux :p[/QUOTE] Cinnarch.
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;38713501]Change it in the browser preferences.[/QUOTE]No option anywhere in the browsers :/ I should be a bit clearer; it doesn't work anywhere, guessing middle click has a different function. Doesn't seem to be an option for it in Preferences/Mouse and Touchpad, either.

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;38713501]What do you mean by that? [editline]5th December 2012[/editline] Change it in the browser preferences.[/QUOTE] I have seen some users have in the upper panel some 'text shorcuts', like shorcuts to a web page, an application, the terminal, etcetera. It might be only in awesome.
[QUOTE=codl;38713554]In Firefox, Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing > Use Autoscrolling[/QUOTE]That worked, thanks :D Now I know what the term is called, I can look for ways to enable it elsewhere. EDIT: And found an extension for it in Chrome
[QUOTE=Ol' Pie;38713584]I have seen some users have in the upper panel some 'text shorcuts', like shorcuts to a web page, an application, the terminal, etcetera. It might be only in awesome.[/QUOTE] Just sounds like some sort of Tint2 configuration to me.
-snip, should search more by myself before asking-
[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;38713517]Cinnarch.[/QUOTE] Downloading it, looks good. Wonder if it'll let me install it.
[QUOTE=Muracle;38713970]Downloading it, looks good. Wonder if it'll let me install it.[/QUOTE] Why wouldn't it??
Once you get used to it, openbox is pretty awesome. I have a problem which i couldn't fix with other theme-changing tools. LXAppearance doesn't seem to save theme configs. I tried gtk-chtheme, but that doesn't allow you to change icons and such.
[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;38714328]Why wouldn't it??[/QUOTE] I'm sure something will go wrong :p What program would let me make it bootable from usb? I tried UNetbootin but that didn't work.

[QUOTE=IpHa;38714741]This should help: [url]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media[/url][/QUOTE] Will that be the same for Cinnarch then?
[QUOTE=Muracle;38714832]Will that be the same for Cinnarch then?[/QUOTE] Should be, Cinnarch is based on Arch.
So it booted and then failed. [QUOTE]Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/CINNARCH_201211 ... ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/CNNARCH_201211' device did not show up after 30 seconds... Falling back to interactive prompt You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished sh: can't access tty: job control turned off[/QUOTE] So its a fair assumption that Linux hates me? :p
Okay, I have found another 'thing' that bugs me. Tint2 doesn't have a volume control applet in the system tray, and I don't have a keyboard with media keys, so right now I can't change the volume. Any way to fix this?
[QUOTE=Muracle;38714947]So it booted and then failed. So its a fair assumption that Linux hates me? :p[/QUOTE] You didn't label your USB drive "CINNARCH_201211" That's why it's failing. [editline]5th December 2012[/editline] Like the partition label thing, y'know. In windows, go to the properties of the drive and just type in the name. In *NIX... There was some tool, I can't remember.
[QUOTE=Ol' Pie;38713584]I have seen some users have in the upper panel some 'text shorcuts', like shorcuts to a web page, an application, the terminal, etcetera.

I think it may be possible somehow in tint2 but I really don't think it'd work the same.

Obviously doing something wrong but not sure what?
[QUOTE=Muracle;38715088]Just tried renaming it to that and its too long. Obviously doing something wrong but not sure what?[/QUOTE] Maybe you copied it wrong, but the log states that the label is CNNARCH_201211 instead of CINNARCH_201211
[QUOTE=Ol' Pie;38715101]Maybe you copied it wrong, but the log states that the label is CNNARCH_201211 instead of CINNARCH_201211[/QUOTE] Still only manage to get up to 'CNNARCH_201'
Name it what ever you want, then in the boot menu press tab and change the label it looks for.
[QUOTE=IpHa;38715192]Name it what ever you want, then in the boot menu press tab and change the label it looks for.[/QUOTE] That makes sense. I'll try that.
[QUOTE=IpHa;38715192]Name it what ever you want, then in the boot menu press tab and change the label it looks for.[/QUOTE] Oh god damn you could do that gah (Wonder why they made the label so long, anyway)
*doesn't know how to change what label it looks* What command do I need for this? Can you tell I'm new to this?
[QUOTE=Ol' Pie;38715070]Yes, that is exactly what I want. Would you mind giving me the name of that panel? Thanks, by the way.[/QUOTE] Well, it's dwm so there isn't any "panel" so to speak. It's beastie's config which is located [url="http://dotshare.it/dots/299/"]here[/url]. I've also been using i3 for the past couple of hours while I work and I must say, I love it. There is only one thing that annoys me though. Whenever I open a program e.g. firefox i3 decides to open it the whole way across both my screens and that's obviously not what I want. Is there any way to change this?
Boot from the USB drive, then when it shows the menu press tab(or sometimes e). It should show you a long string of text, find where it say "LABEL=CNNARCH_201211" and change it to what you named it.
