[QUOTE=Boris-B;31144921]Can't you just install grub manually after the system is installed but grub fails?[/QUOTE]
It probably didn't fail. Grub under crunchbang is odd. You have to boot up and do update-grub if you're doing a dual-boot because even though in the installer it says it will do it for you it won't.
IDK if the whole autodetect deal is an ubuntu thing or if it's with GRUB2. Either way, that could be a very plausible problem.
It doesn't make much sense to run [code]apt-get update-grub[/code]since update-grub should be a command on its own. Unless I'm mistaken of course.

Woops. You're right. Just me being an inverse fatfatfatty again.
I officially cock up anything that isn't ubuntu.

I've had pretty much the same with an ATI card on a laptop I have Arch on, except it happened when you started up Xorg (and then slim starts).
I've installed the git drivers and it pretty much fixed itself - the drivers are somewhere in the Arch forums, go take a look if you have ATI.
I know I'm clutching at straws here but does anyone know anything about Steam for Linux? That's the biggest step that can happen to prompting the card manufacturers to better driver development for Linux, in my opinion. The proprietary drivers for ati cards are awful.
Last thing I heard about steam for Linux was that they weren't working on it.
So we'll have to stick with wine.
I just got a VPS what should I run on it out of:
CentOS
Debian
Gentoo
Fedora
Ubuntu
Slackware

Gabe recently spoke of it.
His statements reduced to:
He thinks it's a legitimate project that should be realized.
BUT
Valve has too many projects - some that have been deemed "more worthwhile".
If I can't make Crunchbang work now, fuck it.

Not really, they have separate teams for everything with only a few people that intermingle between departments. Gabe had to decide whether the guys that manage Steam were to focus on porting Steam to PS3 or to Linux. Honestly, it was a no-brainer. As far as I can tell, the next one should be either Android or proper Linux.

Of course not, that's an Ubuntu package, not a Debian one. You could always just search for your driver on the manufacturer's website. [url=http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us]Here's a link to nVidia's driver search page[/url] and [url=http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx]here's a link to AMD's search page[/url]. If you have a different type of video card, you know what to do.
The alternative is to download the Ubuntu package, but that's a terrible idea.
I don't need it for my GPU, I need it for my Broadcom chipset.
Every time I've tried getting that piece of shit working manually, everything just falls apart.
I tried installing the Ubuntu package, but the Debian repositories carry too old a version of Python.
I'm honestly thinking about taking the repo list from Ubuntu and just smashing it into Crunchbang.

Sorry, I must have mixed you up with someone else. Although, how have your manual attempts gone wrong?
Over several distros, all I've ran into is outdated instructions, guides telling me not to do it because apparently the kernel already has open source drivers but my wireless still magically doesn't work, missing packages and laptop not booting after doing whatever I've done.

Well, what kernel version are you running?
I think it was 2.6.35. I went to Mint because Crunchbang wasn't working out.
Probably reinstall Crunchbang to give it a proper look.

Broadcom eh? I've got one of those in my laptop and getting it to work on Crunchbang was easy. Try this.
Run lspci in a terminal and find your wireless card. If all goes to plan, you should find a string resembling this:
[quote]Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation [b]BCM4318[/b] [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [b][14e4:4318][/b][/quote]
Run that yourself and tell us either of the bolded parts, preferably both.
I'll have to check the latter one but it's a BCM4313.
[QUOTE=nikomo;31155005]I'll have to check the latter one but it's a BCM4313.[/QUOTE]
Follow the instructions [url=http://wiki.debian.org/brcm80211#Squeeze]here[/url] starting at step two.
And just in case you want to double check with the latter set of numbers, check those numbers with the table located [url=http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices]here[/url].
Alternatively, you can get the broadcom_wl driver. I have no idea about the differences between that and brcm80211 but instructions start at step 2 [url=http://wiki.debian.org/wl#Squeeze]right this way[/url].
And don't forget to be root while doing all those.
Does anyone know how to replace XFCE's WM with Compiz automatically? The only way I know is the run compiz --replace, but I'd like it to auto-run.

I believe you can replace xfwm4 with compiz somewhere in the XFCE's session files, look up the XFCE wiki entry on ArchWiki, it might help you change it (the path might be different if you're using someother distro, however).

[url=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz#Xfce_autostart_.28without_.22fusion-icon.22.29]I found this[/url] and tried No.1, but that didn't do anything, so I just added compiz to startup applications. It only adds about half a second to starting up, which is still quicker than GNOME2. Thanks.
Great.

Right, I think I'm going to go with Backtrack 5. It's using Ubuntu as the base, so I can use jockey, and I like to dabble around with Backtrack anyways.
