The only thing that is stopping me doing that is photoshop.
I cant get any of the copy's I have working in wine and I find GIMP hard to work with.

cs2 works flawlessly in wine
Updated from Python 2.6 to 2.7 yesterday on Gentoo. Now I can't login to KDE. KDM works, but Xorg restarts if I try logging in to KDE so I'm using Openbox right now. Also, Chromium and Firefox stopped working too so I'm using Konqueror.
I think the problem with KDE is the fact that god damn pykde4 won't compile, big fucking surprise. This happens everytime I have to compile that shit package.
why would you even do that
Gentoo unmasked python-2.7.1, so it was in my updates. I just went ahead and did it.
I don't know how, but Firefox works again. And Chromium wasn't working because something broke sqlite, so I just recompiled sqlite and chromium.

The python update went pretty smooth, it's just stupid pykde4 that doesn't work. That package never compiles. Anytime KDE gets updated, the only package that won't compile will be pykde4; no exceptions.
I don't use kde so I might be totally wrong here but it sounds like just a problem on your end

try re-emerging pyqt4 and sip
I did do that, and both compiled just fine but pykde4 was still being a bitch.
well your pykde4 is a bitch
Waiting for my kernel to finish compiling while playing with a rubik's cube. The default arch kernels just don't cut it for me.

Here's the story of how I realized that I am completely and utterly retarded.
I have this server to setup for a class. It's a Compaq Proliant 1600. I wanted to boot the configuration CD (SmartStart CD 5.5) so I could reset the server and start from scratch. At first the config CD would BSOD in my face. So I looked at all the possibilities of things that fail and concluded that the CD was shit. After reburning one it didn't work. Then I tried the CD that was 100% good. (my dad used it to install the server a million times. None would boot. I try to boot Linux Live CDs and it goes to shit. I talk to my dad about it and we conclude that the CD drive is shit (they're old and there might be dust on the diode) We go through a crap ton of CD drives to see which ones work. None really work. Some fuck up more than other and we deem them as actually fucked. After trying a few other CD drives the thing accidentally boots into windows. (It had windows server 2000 installed on it) When I tried to boot debian it would kernel panic and give me the most retarded error that didn't mean shit. When Windows booted after a bit it crashed and lucky me it gave an actually decent error message. It was a fucking memory parity error. So the problem was that one of the sticks of ram I fiddled with so I could take a picture to show to the class in my presentation is either fucked or not properly seated.
I'm currently installing debian as a test and running on one stick of ram. I'll add in the other ram later.

Allright, Debian seems to work. One thing I noticed is that the ACPI for that board seems to be utter shit or not supported. So I'll have to turn it off.
Now it's time for me to nuke the thing while I burn CentOS and then setup the install until I need the Internet because I'm not connected to the network.
At least it'll be satisfying to see it work.
The new [url=http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/gnome-shell-screenshot-review/]gnome shell[/url] is looking pretty ugly imo. It looks way too much like Unity. :(
I'm torrenting the OpenSUSE 11.3 DVD, would it work if burned to a DVD+RW?

It should.
I study computing, yet my classmates were amazed at Linux Mint running from a USB stick.
i put fedora in a virtual machine
what now?
Buy a fedora and put it on your head.
snip because i didn't want to start the fire
Is there any way to completely remove the nouveau driver in Fedora? I disabled it and installed an official one from nVidia's site, but I want it completely removed so I don't have it in my grub boot sequence because I have OCD.
Binary distros like Ubuntu and Fedora are weird about removing packages that come preinstalled. If you try to remove the nouveau driver, yum will try to take out huge chunks of Xorg as well. It'd just be easier to leave it alone.
And I don't believe that nouveau is part of your grub boot sequence anyway.
Grr. How do you use the openbox root-menu instead of Xfce's whatever it is if you're only using Xfdesktop?
use openbox instead of xfwm?
I still need something to use for a desktop
you mean the icons or the wallpaper or what? if the icons, there are programs for that but none I remember the name of. for wallpaper, use Nitrogen
I'm already using feh for background, but I still want icons without using a full desktop manager.
you can use Rox for that

:colbert:
After the initial annoyances from everything I did wrong setting up Arch (yesterday) using it makes me feel a lot better about being at least semi computer literate.
I'm installing CentOS on my server and it panic'd on me. Last time I did some testing it was a ram problem. I definitely have a fucked stick. It's old server grade ram too where the fuck am I going to find some?
