GNU / Linux November 2012 Desktops


Recommended Posts

I've been growing surprisingly fond of cinnamon. Moved my laptop over from ubuntu to mint 14 rc. I really like unity, but silly compiz bugs cropping up all over push me over the deep end :/. I'm amazed at how stable and bug free mint 14/cinnamon 1.6 is.

Yeah, I'm testing out Cinnamon atm. It's different, but less heavy than Gnome Shell.

Been using Arch as my go-to linux distro for a while. Been having problems since the Gnome 3.6 updates came along. The last update messed up my icons, however some google searching lead me to a solution. I had to recompile the nautilus source with an edited png, but it ended up working.

Using Cinnamon as the DE, with Gnome 3.6.x everything else (Nautlius, Theming, etc).

I just can't seem to shake this disease of distro-hopping. :grin:

This is my newest install. The first Cinnarch Beta, released 11/22/2012. My first foray into the world of Arch. And I really like what I'm seeing!

Fairly stock install, added the apps I love and changed the window border and wallpaper...

@ UncleSpellbinder, Xubuntu has come along way, I really enjoyed my experience with XFCE 4.10 and once those bugs with thunar and the app menu are resloved I will be trying it out again.

@ Stanca Laurentiu, A+ for originality

linux vm within a windows server 2012 vm on windows server 2012 with hyper-v!!!!

That's just mind blowing, testing a virtual client on a virtual server ... I'm very appreciative for the advances in technology we have today along with the affordability and server downtimes!

It was actually very easy for me to pull this off but it required a lot of patience!!!

hyper-v has issues running ubuntu 12.10 tho it runs like a dog.

and i'mma try to have a vm within that.... arrrg it's harder since it runs hard like a dog. seriously.... just loading firefox is slow as hell... ubuntu sucks on this vm....

fedora flat out won't install.. it will only run on a live cd, I install, then it weueueuws about a font missing, then loads the wallpaper then goes "uh oh" something happend and don't boot....

Here's a Linux vm within a linux vm :cat:

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
    • It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
