[QUOTE=Roo-kie;24796353]i get to see Stallman talk at a seminar on wednesday, i don't agree with all his ideas but it should be interesting[/QUOTE]
lucky bastard, Stallman never comes anywhere near my state
Everyone knows sftp > ftp but ftp is the industry standard and you can't set virtual users with openssh-server.
Also, I spent hours looking for a 12v 3a ac adapter and an usb2 to usb cable in my house to try and recover an old 300gb maxtor hard drive that belongs to my brother and I succeeded. I fixed it by using a 16v 3.5a power adapter which made some sparks but somehow fixed it. I can't have it but at least he gave me his old pc.
And I dropped a floppy drive onto my pinky toe. Blood everywhere. Shit was so cash.
All of this is unrelated to the thread but I felt like sharing.
Found a useful wallpaper for the Linux newbies out there. I use it myself on occasion as a reference page.

[QUOTE=Boris-B;24809646]This thing with gtk themes is that they are often based on other themes. So you have to get the other themes for them to look right.

You would probably need this one.

The way you installed it is fine BTW.

Ohh and what distro are you on?[/QUOTE]
Ah right thanks, trying that just now. I'm on Arch.

Okay, now Radiance Drakfire Mod won't seem to work properly. I did the exact same procedure, but when I open it in gtk-theme-switch, it just looks like the default blue theme :S.

Is anyone else having problems with flash?
I just installed ubuntu on my laptop this afternoon and i am using chromium
But when i try to watch youtube (or any other flash) it says i need to upgrade it even tho on adobe website it says chromium comes with the latest version of flash
for the time beeing i can just use youtube and html5 but i would like to fix this if anyone has any idea
sorry for off-topic...
I just installed Arch... Looked around on Wiki, installed Xorg, Xfce and Slim, then i installed OpenBox and configured as default, installed Bmpanel, but i hated it and installed Tint2, installed nitrogen, looked around on the wiki and setupped the stuff as i want, and now i know where to edit things if i want :)
ps: now i used menumanager, then added "Default" menu for mostly used stuff... i must say, ArchLinux is the best linux, because it have all basic stuff building up your stable and fast Desktop Environment :)

Don't go to the Adobe website. It's probably lying (Flash is included with Chrome on Windows, but probably not Chromium under Linux). Basically, don't go to any website to get software for Linux, except as a last resort.
Installing software manually is pretty sloppy. Your package manager won't know it's there, so it won't be able to ensure that all the dependencies are available or update it when there's a new release, and it may try to install conflicting packages. Work [I]with[/I] your package manager, don't fight it.
Open up Synaptic (or aptitude, apt-get, whatever), go to the repositories section (Settings > Repositories), enable 'Universe' and 'Multiverse', then refresh. You might have to close and restart Synaptic for it to fully refresh the list. Search for 'flashplugin-installer' and mark it for installation (check the box), then hit the big 'apply' button at the top. Close Synaptic, restart Chromium, use Flash.

Is flash included in the Google Chome linux version?

Worked like a charm, thanks :D
[QUOTE=Ayra;24827344]Is flash included in the Google Chome linux version?[/QUOTE]
Not sure about regular Chrome (I would assume it was just like the Windows version, and includes flash).
Chromium is, of course, the FOSS version of Chrome so I don't think they'd include a binary blob.

No problem! :D

I'm not talking about Chromium. On Ubuntu, Google Chrome is available. I'm pretty sure Google has the .deb someplace.

Yeah, I kind of realized that afterwards and updated my post.
Never tried Chrome on Linux because I didn't have any reason to. From what I can tell there's really no practical difference between the two other than the possible inclusion of proprietary plug-ins like Flash, but plug-ins are something you'd really want your package manager to handle separately, anyway.

@ Dude with the theme issues
Download the following package:
[code]
gtk-engines
[/code]
It contains all the basic gtk engines other themes are based off.
If it still doesn't work you can look at the other gtk-engine packages
[code]
pacman -Ss gtk-engine
[/code]
Or you can check our AUR...
[editline]07:16PM[/editline]
After looking at your theme, it looks like you need the equinox theme/engine.
Getting gtk-engine is still a very good idea.
You can find gtk-engine-equinox from AUR, since it's equinox you might need gtk-aurora-engine from community.
I redownloaded Arch and I'm getting the same problem. Screen goes blank during package management and nothing happens.
Thinking of falling back to Ubuntu or Fedora since I can't get anything else working. At all.
I remember early versions of Grub had an issue that kept shit from working with certain CDROM drives, you might be having a similar issue (as in something seemingly unrelated to whatever is happening)

Don't even have GRUB yet
I'm not saying it's necessarily related to grub, I'm saying you could easily be having one of those errors so erratic it may as well be related to the phase of the moon.
10 minutes ago (2 1/2 hours after waiting, surprising since 4 hours and nothing last attempt), Arch's install came back to life. It was apparently building the fallback image.
Everything seems to work now and I'm in love with Arch. Just gotta install KDE.
My MBR got corrupted and i wanted to restore it with fixmbr, but i had to get rid of my linux partition first. :frown:
Fuck my excitement
I tried to install a minimal KDE installation by installing the [i]kdebase-workspace[/i] and [i]kdebase-konsole[/i] packages but it says their names aren't valid. Checked Arch's website and it's a valid package, and Googling the issue returns nothing.
Also, earlier, Arch stopped booting with a readonly filesystem error or some shit and I googled the hell out of the problem but there were no solutions. I heard about fsck somewhere though so I tried it and it worked, no thanks to relevant results.
God fucking dammit. Every day I use Linux there's one new reason to go back to Windows. Even using Ubuntu is a complete trainwreck most of the time.

I'm guessing you run JFS?
If you don't unmount JFS properly (such as from an unclean shutdown), you have to fsck it before you re-mount.

[QUOTE=Sonicfan574;24834405]Tried already[/QUOTE]
Post you pacman.conf and mirrorlist.
"sudo halt" and "sudo reboot" commands is good enugh to shutdown/reboot my computer in a openbox menu?
not unless you've got it set up so sudo doesn't ask for a password. Mine uses gksudo reboot to shut it down.
Where are the postfix logs? I'm setting up a mail server and I actually successfully connected mail.app to it but I can't send mail locally. (I know I can't send outside the network until I install sasl.)
And did I set postfix up correctly? Wasn't exactly sure what to put in mydestination as well as myhostname.
