:) Because of Gentoo? It's really an awesome distro...

Anyways nice desks everyone. I really like fluxbox because it's nice and simple, minimalistic, loads quickly, you create your own menu's (so they don't get cluttered), etc.

It should work on yours, too. I googled a bit, you don't need any patches or similiar.

Do you have files inside /proc/acpi/battery ?

BTW, I have a BenQ Joybook 5000, if you want to know :rolleyes:

what setup is that? is that simple gnome + gdesklets or gnome + e17?

my E17 setup just doesnt upgrade now.

It's Gnome with the Milk 2.1g theme and the icons are Chanindjoole (Chaninja port). The launcher at the bottom is engage from e17 (soulmachine repository) and the pager in the lower right corner is called netwmpager. It supports transparency with xcompmgr, and you can set the value in the config.

I don't use engage as a dock, so I might as well use starterbar, just that I think engage generally looks better and it's just so very smooth. It's a little tricky to configure, but not that bad. That will hopefully improve, allthough the author seems to be focusing on the e17 module part, which doesn't have much to do with the standalone version unfortunately.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!

      Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
