Maybe if there's a command to dynamically set the cursor theme like LXappearance does, I could hack around it and keep a permanent cursor theme.
I came to think of it, I have the exact same problem on my laptop (same wm and configuration)
[QUOTE=Phyxius;31377526]So what's with the hate on Unity then?[/QUOTE]
Mainly the fact that the developers thought it was a good idea to make every element of the GUI huge, and make the whole thing into more of a touch-oriented interface. This causes everything to waste tons of screen space. It all seems dumbed down, as if the developers thought I'd go "OH SHIT OH SHIT I CAN'T CLICK THIS I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MOTOR SKILLS OH SHIT" each time I saw a 16x16 icon.
Oh, and the usual stuff: Crap support for Catalyst, Crap support for multi-screen, slow as hell on older computers (or on those who require the use of F/LOSS gfx drivers, see my first point), completely un-customizable (and that's a HUGE turn-off for every power user out there), generally feels unpolished, rushed, and different for the sake of being different.
In arch, an update for lxpanel was released with a massive bug that caused a segfault to happen each time you opened the applications menu button. I switched to the lxpanel-git in the aur and it works fine, but that was annoying.

Did you file a bug report?
[QUOTE=Jookia;31388837]Did you file a bug report?[/QUOTE]
It was already filed.
[QUOTE=Niteshifter;31389087]It was already filed.[/QUOTE]
Did you report your specific problem, I looked at the report and it doesn't seem that they mentioned the applications menu button.

Welp maybe someone can help me
So I recently moved my router from my room into a family room for more even distribution throughout the house, and also ordered a new router to replace ours (which is easily at least 6 years old). This necessitated changing my PC in my room from wired internet to wireless-G connection.
Strangely, though I have internet, I can not access any of my other networked computers from my room! This includes:
* 192.168.1.100 (my server)
* 192.168.1.20 (family PC)
* 192.168.1.30 (family PC 2)
* 192.168.1.1 (router)
All other computers are fine. I check my ip from whatismyip.com, and it's still 70.94.237.175, as it was before. Still connected to LaFlowerPower network. Really sucks I can't reach my router from this computer!

I thought that was what he was saying at first, but it sounds more like he has been using other kinds of Linux before, so he is a "Linux child", and he is performing his rite of passage as a Linux man.
So, to test out this little 1024x768 LCD I have, I hooked it up to my computer to see if it eventually fails (as it keeps doing with another computer of mine). I was, however, dismayed to find that I was unable to hook it up along my current 2 monitors, and have three! My driver refuses to allow me more than two screens.
I have an expensive ATI card with an HDMI, DVI, and VGA port, so I would expect to.
Do you have DisplayPort? What card is it? Only >5xxx can do eyefinity, and that's with the third monitor connected through displayport.
It's a 5770, but its three ports are:
HDMI
D-sub
DVI
Anyone mind explaining how the internet works?
I recently bought a ethernet switch and plugged in the internet and my computer to it.
then in /etc/rc.conf i set my network to
[code]interface=eth0
address=192.168.0.2
netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.0.1[/code]
But when i ping'd [url]www.google.com[/url] it would print "Uknown host: www.google.com". I decided it wasn't resolving the names so i put
[code]nameserver 8.8.8.8[/code]
in /etc/resolv.conf
And now when i ping google it resolves correctly but i don't receive any packets back.
Anything i'm doing that's obviously wrong?

I think the network info might be wrong.
Try replacing the 192.168.0.2 with 192.168.1.2, and adjust the gateway likewise.
Otherwise, I haven't a clue.
I wish to move back to linux, the main distro i have used has always been ubuntu but with the new ubuntu aparently having a few bugs I just wondered if its worth to get 11.04 or the original 10.04 LTS
Other than that are there any other distros that might be worth it?
Does anyone have a guide to creating a partition in GRUB2? I'm trying to boot arch from it.
Hey, I just bought a ThinkPad X220 for uni. It's amazing, but I'm having some trouble with installing Arch. I can get to the prompt alright, but I can't seem to get eth0 to show up. I run dhcpcd but eth0 won't show up at all with ifconfig. Any help?

When you connect to your internet modem directly, what IP configuration (addreas, gateway, netmask) do you receive?

Fedora 15 is great.
I finally figured out why my laptop locks up every time I try to compile something.
My MAKEFLAGS was set to "-j" rather than "-j2"
[quote]
If the -j option is given without an argument, make will not limit the number of jobs that can run simultaneously.
[/quote]
Lol.
I would have assumed that -j would have been -j1
wait, make -j essentially makes make a temporary forkbomb on low-end machines

I've got it installed on my netbook. Now I know I'm not doing distro-hopping anymore. Arch was awesome, but too much to configure for my taste :\
I used to like that kind of distro, but it just faded, and now I think I've settled. Now posting from BOTH Windows and Linux >:)
