Kubuntu 12.10 x64

KDE SE 4.10 default wallpaper

If you guys want to install archey on ubuntu,


sudo apt-get install lsb-release scrot

wget http://github.com/downloads/djmelik/archey/archey-0.2.8.deb

sudo dpkg -i archey-0.2.8.deb
[/CODE]

If you want to make it run at terminal start, type

[CODE]
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
FOR KDE REPLACE gedit with kate
[/CODE]

Scroll down all the way, and on a new line type archey. Save close, relaunch your terminal and it should work. In theory, this should work with Haggis's script too. If anyone tries it out, let me know how it goes.

My Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop!, last time using Ubuntu was in 2006!! It's so nice to see how it has been improved over the years, I'm triple booting it with Windows 8 and OS X 10.8.

Finally got Transparency working in XFCE again (Catalyst, Xrandr and XFWM compositing don't co-operate), so my desktop looks much nicer now :)

Arch Linux x64

XFCE 4.10

Theme: Albatross

Wallpaper: Also Calm (credit to Yorak for pointing out the bad link)

Icons: Potenza (AUR Link)

UI Font: Adobe Source Sans Pro (AUR Link)

Default GNOME 3.6 (or 3.4 can't remember) on Ubuntu 12.10.

Only showing my main monitor because otherwise it's too big to upload without using an external service.

Also couldn't get Haggis' script to do anything but sit and spin, so used Archey.

EDIT: This posting also shows all 3 the main usernames I use on stuff. Just noticed that.

Looking good! Are you using Infinality? Appears so. Hey, the wallpaper you linked to appears to be different than the one you are actually using. Do you think you could hook me up with the one you are using? It is very nice. Thanks in advance!

Haha, my bad, I tried a lot of wallpapers today and linked the wrong one. I'll fix it.

The actual one is Also Calm.

I'm actually not using Infinality, it's just the in-built XFCE font rendering with Anti-aliasing turned on and full hinting. :)

    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
