Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome3 haters: you should try the new cinnamon-1.6.1
Cinnamon is very great. Also nemo, the nautilus fork of 3.4, because nautilus 3.6 is a very big regression in manys opinion (mine too). Ive had soo many problem with gnome 3 (mainly performance), so i switchesd to lxde. It felt like replacing an intel pentium 4 with a core i7 now i am using lxde within my gentoo, and cinnamon on my secondary screen (linux mint). I love cinnamon. But it is unusable in my opinion, because it is on top of gnome3. they should make this working standalone! :)) On 10/15/2012 01:26 AM, walt wrote: I'm back in gnome heaven again, thanks to cinnamon-1.6.1 :) First I'd like to thank Canek for his generous help to all of us here who have been struggling with gnome-shell. I'm sure I'll try gnome-shell again when it's more mature, but for now I'm sticking with cinnamon. It's a giant step backward and I love it :) The newly ported system-monitor panel applet for cinnamon is what convinced me to switch -- it now looks and behaves exactly like the old gnome2 version. There are a couple of things you should know if you've never tried cinnamon before. (These may already be documented in the gentoo wiki but I haven't looked, which is why I had to figure them out for myself :) Once you have cinnamon emerged, how do you actually start it? Just put this line in your .xinitrc: exec ck-launch-session gnome-session --session=cinnamon BTW I tried deleting the ck-launch-session. That broke auto-mounting of removable media like usb sticks, so I put it back. I'm sure this will change rapidly when systemd becomes the default, but systemd is not mature enough yet for my taste so I'm sticking with openrc for now. Second, and very important for the system-monitor panel applet, is that networkmanager must be running for the network activity to be visible in the applet. That took me a few days to work out :p Another big change in the panel applet is that you must turn on the Panel edit mode before you can add any other applets to it. That's done by right-clicking on the panel. Then turn edit mode off again before the panel will work as expected. That's very confusing if you have to find it by trial-and-error ;) I'd be interested to hear other opinions about cinnamon.

[gentoo-user] I got midori working, including Flash
I don't want to turn this into a Firefox-slagging thread; this is more along the lines of presenting a viable alternative browser. And it's much easier on Gentoo than most other distros. The problem most people run into is that Flash video doesn't work on midori. The root cause is that midori defaults to building with gtk+:3, and Schlockwave Trash is a gtk:2 binary. Apparently, it's an incompatable ABI. Webkit2 is supposed to fix this problem when it comes out... one of these days. But in the meantime we're out of luck... no we're not. I looked at the midori ebuild and noticed... deprecated? ( net-libs/webkit-gtk:2 x11-libs/gtk+:2 unique? ( dev-libs/libunique:1 ) ) !deprecated? ( net-libs/webkit-gtk:3 x11-libs/gtk+:3 unique? ( dev-libs/libunique:3 ) ) I built midori with the deprecated USE flag, and Youtube and other Flash stuff works just fine thank you. Here's the script I use to launch midori... #!/bin/bash export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins midori The MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH environmental variable appears to be necessary. Modify as appropriate on your machine. If you run into SSL errors, export another variable before launching... export WEBKIT_IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS=1 I'm still testing it, so no guarantees midori fully works, but I want an alternative to Firefox. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications

Hi, I have always loved gnome more than kde or anything else. About 2 years ago I had to use Windows till about 3 months ago, and I came back to gentoo and used gnome again. But I didn't feel that comfortable and home, so I tried kde and some other desktop environments, but these felt even worse. I found cinnamon and used it with gdm, what made me happy for a while. But I couldn't find an easy way to configure this system to my needs. I found no way to change the gdm background for example. I googled for a couple of days. So I tried to get rid of gnome, but I have some programmms, that use it. I use Openbox and slim now, I could configure it within half a day, and I'm happy now. By the way, I got used to tabbing terminal.in gnome-terminal, does someone know a tabbing terminal without gnome or kde or something this big? Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Randolph Maaßen

nemo is there, but for now i prefer nautilus 3.4, because nemo lacks some of the functions (like the extract here context menu) :(( On 10/15/2012 02:38 PM, Michael Hampicke wrote: Am 15.10.2012 09:24, schrieb mindrunner: Cinnamon is very great.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Gnome3 haters: you should try the new cinnamon-1.6.1
you should try terminator, or guake if you want an alternate terminal. i am using both in combination (guake in luman-overlay, has applied some additional patches) lxde/openbox is very nice. slim and slimlock are working fine in combination with it. so there is no need for heavy gnome/kde desktops. if you want your old gnome 2.x dektop back, you should try mate, which is a fork of the last gnome 2.x stable branch.

I agree about the unnecessary proliferation of hardware-hammering eye candy, but have no problems with it being there as long as it's optional. -- Neil Bothwick The best antiques are old friends. Hi, I have always loved gnome more than kde or anything else. About 2 years ago I had to use Windows till about 3 months ago, and I came back to gentoo and used gnome again. But I didn't feel that comfortable and home, so I tried kde and some other desktop environments, but these felt even worse. I found cinnamon and used it with gdm, what made me happy for a while. But I couldn't find an easy way to configure this system to my needs. I found no way to change the gdm background for example. I googled for a couple of days. So I tried to get rid of gnome, but I have some programmms, that use it. I use Openbox and slim now, I could configure it within half a day, and I'm happy now. By the way, I got used to tabbing terminal.in http://terminal.in gnome-terminal, does someone know a tabbing terminal without gnome or kde or something this big?

Which kernel version does the breakage start at, so I know not to rush into it when it goes mainstream? Linus committed the breakage to his git repository just last week, so the nvidia people should have it fixed for 3.7. Same goes for virtualbox and ati-drivers, I hope. But to answer your question, the breakage starts with linux-3.7.0-rc1.
