God. Does nobody have the capacity to detect irony any more? You actually had to ask whether a human being, capable of constructing sentences from words, posting on the internet in a sub-forum dedicated to linux, has grasped the concept of fact?
KDE 4 isn't too bad. Still way too chunky though. And yes, you can customise the hell out of it, but at stock, Gnome and Xfce look better. LXDE, however, looks ugly whatever the fuck you try to do to it.

I'd love to disagree.
I use the shiki-wise theme (both GTK+ and OpenBox), instantly pretty.

I think it's wise, anyway

You can make LXDE look quite nice if you use the right combination of GTK and Openbox themes..
Ugh, some package in the updates today on Fedora 15 is trying to pull in gnome-desktop3 even though I only have KDE installed.

Why are there four instances of the Minecraft server with different PIDs but the same mem/cpu usage

4 Threads.
I broke Fedora 15 by trying to change the wallpaper. Guess I'll have to revert to fedora 14 till' they iron out the bugs.
How does one break an OS by changing the wallpaper of all things?
Playing around with Ubuntu 11, but I'm being disturbed by my GPU fan. It's stuck on what sounds like 100% speed. Are there any linux programs I can use to change this? I use MSI Afterburner in Windows.
I still can't figure out what that was in the Natty alpha that provided that nifty little "bar" that showed system info (like a mini version of htop) at the bottom of the terminal window..
[QUOTE=Takkun10;30037528]I fixed it. I installed gnome3 and than rebooted and now when uDev switches my resolution to 1080p my monitor goes to sleep within the next 5 seconds and doesn't even give me time to login. Any idea how I can fix this? will the fallback option allow me to fix this?[/QUOTE]
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I think I'm going to go post about it on the arch forums.
Does anyone have any idea why every DBus program in existence spams "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" at me for a good five minutes before finally giving up and going without?
I'm about to take the Windows approach and just clear it out and start over. But I don't [b]want[/b] to do that, especially since I know there's a less drastic way. I've tried reinstalling DBus, that didn't work.

Hey, so on mint and ubuntu,I continuously encounter the same issue. Every time I attempt to install or do anything from the terminal, it keeps requesting my sudo password but doesn't allow me to type anything. How do I solve this?

You are typing, no characters, asterisks, etc. will show up though.
"Doesn't allow you to type anything"? If you mean that nothing appears when you type, that's normal: it hides your typing so your password doesn't appear on the screen. That doesn't mean it's ignoring what you type.

K, so how am I supposed to know whether a command goes through or not. I never get any following data feedback after that? Should anything else come up in the terminal? Shouldn't I be informed if it gets installed or not?

Almost every command will return something when you run it.
Linux programs often don't output any messages unless they fail. If you type "rm foo", for example, it'll silently delete the file and give you your prompt back. If the file doesn't exist (or if something goes wrong while trying to delete it), [i]then[/i] it'll print a message.
Without knowing what command you were running, though, we can't tell whether it "should've" produced output.

Did you press Enter after typing your password? If you're installing something, once you enter your password it'll either say your password is incorrect or it will output some text showing what you're about to install.
If you are installing packages you should get some output. It'll give you a progress of the package installation and what not. This is true for most package managers.
