I'm using proftpd. I'll have a look at the config and see what's what then.

What do you think is the best way to share files? I've been using ftp for sharing files beetween me and my friends but it's becoming a hassle, since i always need to copy my files to /home/ftp/** is there a better way to do this? I Have all my files stored in /home/****/Share is there anyway i can share that folder without having to move it.

I think it looks better with the smaller foot. =/

Yes make it in black! There isn't enough black themes. I'm sticking to this black one, until another black theme eventually comes out. http://void02.xs.to/pics/05282/Screenshot.png That's the only KDE application i have installed. I'll switch to something else when i find another audioplayer with a good playlist, flac support and works with audioscrobbler. Until then i'll use amarok.

Sure Reiser has it's advantages, but i still highly recommend you keep away from reiser till it's more stable. I've read some horror storys in the gentoo forums about reiser, kept away from it ever since.

Yes i know that but what i mean is. >>> I just think it's a bad idea using something like xfce if your going to mostly use gnome/kde apps. Since not only will it take longer to launch them it will probably use more memory aswell. I was awake all night, blame that for the confusing posts.

There is a problem with fluxbox, xfce and all these light window managers, you can't use gnome or kde apps, well you can but there will be no speed increase, i've tried this with the lighter window managers and it doesn't work well, but if you can sacrifice those good gnome and KDE applications then i guess i can see the benifit of a lighter window manager. If your loading up the libs to use the applications, you might aswell use gnome or KDE. I really like xfce4 since it has a really good feel when using it, but i use mostly gnome apps anyway so i just went back to gnome. It just really annoys me how you have to install a bunch of useless stuff just to get a kde application running, why do i need cups and arts when im building amarok without arts support? ;)

I think it's working now, since for some reason mpd was running as root, now it's running as user alongside mpdscrobbler. So i think it's ok now. Thanks for the help, though. :) Now i think i'll reboot to check it starts as user aswell.

In gnome, just run "gnome-panel-screenshot". I really don't like KDE, but i do like some of the applications but there is a reason why i don't even have kdelibs installed. That is bloat, if i want to use let's say amarok, i need to install the kdelibs to use it, but why do i need all this useless junk? Like cups? I don't even have a printer in my house why the hell would i need cups, amongst other useless stuff like arts. (you can compile kdelibs without arts though, but not cups) I find the KDE interface as a whole, very sluggish and resembles windows. I remember when i tried kubuntu out just too see if KDE had improved at all, after going idle for a couple of hours i come back to a "windows" like state, you know how in windows if you go idle and come back it's all slow and laggy? Well kde was the same, i looked at the system monitor thingy for kde. 1GB/1GB ram used 1.7GB/2.GB swap was used aswell, after that i went straight back to gnome. I prefer gnome for it's "Clean" look and i find it very stable. I also can't live without nautilus. I try to keep away from the KDE & Gnome debates, but i can't help it. I really hate kde with a passion but i do admit amarok and k3b are superior applications.

Ouch, that's a bright blue. Hurts my eyes. :P

I installed mpdscriblle from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=1005&O=0&L=0&C=0&K=mpd&SB=n&PP=25&do_MyPackages=0 and it installs fine, starts up fine but doesn't submit to audioscrobbler. I'm not sure if audioscrobbler is just messed up right now or i've messed something up. /var/mpdscribble/log warning: handshake timed out, warning: waiting 60 seconds before trying again. warning: mpd error (0): connection timeout warning: handshake timed out, warning: waiting 60 seconds before trying again. warning: handshake timed out, warning: waiting 120 seconds before trying again. warning: handshake timed out, warning: waiting 240 seconds before trying again. warning: handshake timed out, warning: waiting 480 seconds before trying again. warning: handshake timed out, warning: waiting 960 seconds before trying again. /etc/mpdscribble.conf Username:secret Pass:ssecret log = /var/mpdscribble/log cache = /var/mpdscribble/cache host = localhost port = 6600 verbose = 1 sleep = 30

People buy windows? :o Here i thought it was available for free through bittorrent. :P

Not quite, it's not because they didn't work for me or didn't do what i wanted them to do. It's because most of the packages seem highly unstable and most of the time don't work, among a bunch of other problems if you do a HD install of kanotix, mepis and so on. I have a knoppix cd always, i always keep one incase my system messes up, they are great for that. The only debian based distro that doesn't seem broken is ubuntu, because like i said they make their own packages. Disagree with me all you like, but from what i've tried of mepis, kanotix and knoppix as HD installs they're awful. I have nothing against debian based distro's heck im using ubuntu again, so don't think i'm actually against them because i'm not. It's not because they didn't work for me, it's because i found them highly unstable to the point they were unusable.

I recommend people to stay away from the debian based distro's, ones like Mepis, Kanotix and so on because they just seem badly broken. Ubuntu is the only one that seems kinda stable and that's because they make there own packages.

It's unstable because sarge was released. If packages break that's considered unstable, at least to the debian folks. ;)

Debian sid is extremely unstable at the moment, they're working on getting xorg and other goodies in.

Still, you have to remember this is only ubuntu's second release. Considering that, it's quite impressive.

It's your pc :P. It's quite slow, so it could take a while yet.

I use valknut for all my lossless music. (cd quality) Nicotine for anything else.

Wouldn't nano be a lot easier than vim? I've used linux for over a year and even i struggle using vim, nano is a LOT easier to use.

If it's not there, then you need to install the kernel sources for your kernel.

Yes it was too green, back to the blue. http://void02.xs.to/pics/05272/Screenshot.png

I have a funny feeling this won't be sticking around too much. http://void02.xs.to/pics/05272/Screenshot.jpeg It's maybe just too green. :o

I'm sorry but if you want "debian for the desktop" you use debian etch, yes the real thing is much better than kanotix, knoppix, mepis. They all just seem badly broken. I was using debian as my desktop for months.

He sound perfectly calm to me. :huh: I'll pass on the icon theme making, im quite content with the ones available right now. bvc how about a pink theme? I don't think i've seen a pink theme before. :unsure:
