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. :)

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
