[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;30988965]What's the AUR exactly?[/QUOTE]
It's the Arch User Repository. Anyone that uses Arch can submit packages to it, meaning it's really easy to find obscure things like scripts for conky, software that isn't supported yet by the official repos, icon themes, etc. It's kind of like Ubuntu's PPA system if they had everything installable via a single PPA.
...And most pacman wrappers can use the AUR like it was a normal repository, sans the binary packages obviously. clyde, which I'm using right now because someone (raBBish?) suggested it, is also tons faster than yaourt or pacman.
clyde can't properly update VCS packages, though :|
AUR is a community repository where people can upload PKGBUILD files. It's like an Ebuild for Gentoo except it doesn't integrate into the main package manager at all and it's a pain in the ass to install anything because of it.

I.e. trying to install something from AUR that is already installed through pacman doesn't work for shit.
Why the shit would you install something from the AUR when you have it installed via pacman? Those things shouldn't be on the AUR in the first place! (Yeah, apart from -git etc)
Patched versions that haven't went upstream yet?
Ok guys, I am 100% serious this time. I am sticking with Fedora. I am not changing distros for atleast 5 years. I've been through a year's distro hopping in a week and I'm staying with good ol Fedora. Any other Fedora users here?
How much space should I reserve for the / part of Crunchbang?
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;30996094]How much space should I reserve for the / part of Crunchbang?[/QUOTE]
I never really separate / from /home or /boot, but if I did, I'd make / somewhere around 30%.

It was a -git.

I use Fedora everyday. It's awesome.

For some reason I can't install flash on it. It says I have it but firefox just doesn't pick it up.

Just go to the adobe website and get the .rpm package and run it?
[editline]9th July 2011[/editline]
Works fine here anyway.

I just installed Windows XP x64, installed drivers, and put in all of my most-used programs in less than 2 hours. YEAH!
If you're wondering why I reinstalled, it's because I can't figure out the Arch installation partioning tools for the life of me. Specifically, how to create a new partition in empty space. fuuuu
So I went and installed Crunchbang on my laptop to dual boot with Windows 7. Sadly, GRUB hates Windows 7 because it isn't on my boot list. How do I add it back?
Oh wait, never mind. GRUB added Windows 7 back by itself during the first system update.

Yeah, seems like a common issue. The installer for GRUB/the system tells you it will poll the MBR and load all operating systems into the list, but it doesn't until the update terminal auto-runs on first boot.
For fuck sakes. I broke Fedora. Whenever I boot into it I just get the kernel error: Linux Kernel panic VFS Unable to mount root fs to unknown block (0,0)
I just reinstalled Windows 7 :smith: . I was so happy with Fedora.

Loving BURG at the moment, and tweaked it to get this. It just looks amazing.
Never heard of it.
seems a little overglorified for a bootloader

That's just the theme I set up, it has minimalistic themes too, right down to grey text/blue bg.

It's grub 2 with graphical themes is all.

Not much of a tweak is it?.. You just press T and change to Radiance :v:

The tweak was the background change, I didn't like that space one.
Switching my icons to [url=http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/]silk[/url] style. Since there's no "official" icon theme, I need to manually create the theme which is pretty tedious, but the results look pretty good.
I had no idea how well wine could work, i can play gmod with no lag or anything oh god.
I'm probably never going to boot into windows again.
I can't quote people on facepunch with Chromiuim. Firefox works.When I press reply it just keeps loading forever.I'm on PCLinuxOS 64-bit. What gives?
[edit]
I can't edit with chromium either.
I've had that problem with a different browser, Epiphany. Clicking the reply button a second time opens the reply page.

Clicking the edit button a second time didn't work, it's still broken.
/firefox
are there any guides for theming your awesome theme, something that tells you what "theme.bg_normal" and so on do?
[h2]Wicd sucks![/h2]
I recently installed wicd, but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
And today it made me completely rage:
I was connected to my home network through wicd, browsing happily, until I found out suddenly I was disconnected. "Oh not again", I thought. So I reconnected...
"Connection failed, bad password"
What? I didn't change the password of the router!
Retry: "bad password"
The next three retries: "Unable to retrieve IP" (means it went past the authentication)
Then the "Bad password" came up again.
Then I turned on networkmanager and restarted my laptop. After some 5 minutes I was connected to the same network again, using the same password. But this time through networkmanager.
Since I've had similar behavior before, the conclusion stated on top of this post.
