Thank you.</p> <p>I can not believe how fast it is! The new panel is much more pleasant to use. The dark theme took me a while to adjust to. Doesn't really matter since there are many other themes to choose from.</p> <p>I found that I had to add gnome-power-manager to the autostart.sh otherwise, the power button options etc cannot be set with the menu item "Screensaver &#38; Power Management".</p> <p>This is the fastest setup I have ever used. Strangely, the slowest program to load is the Terminator. I'd have thought that would be one of the fastest.</p> <p>I modified the openbox-logout script to include suspend and hibernate buttons since I use these features all the time. If anyone is interested this is the command to use:<br /> gnome-power-cmd.sh hibernate #hibernates<br /> gnome-power-cmd.sh suspend #suspends</p> <p>My main problems are with Intrepid and nothing to do with CrunchBang. Unfortunately, my wifi is broken in Intrepid. This is the first wifi problem I have experienced in linux and it's really annoying. Seems that many people are having problems with both network manager and wicd. In my case, my intel3945 card seems to be detected and working but it won't see my home wireless router. It finds about 10 other networks from my street but not mine! Doesn't matter what security I try. Doesn't even see it without security. Frustrating.</p> <p>Also, the xorg.conf that comes with Intrepid is almost blank. That means you have to find a synaptics touchpad section from the net as a template to work from. Otherwise, things like horizontal scrolling don't work. Plus, circular scrolling is brilliant. Should be default.</p> <p>Anyway, I'm very happy with CrunchBang 8.10. Great setup. Very easy to customize.<br /> It is so good, I'll put up with the wireless problem in the Intrepid base. Thanks. </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/81001-testing#post-975 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:28:02 +0000 zewillow 975@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>How about getting the live cd to work with the usb-creator feature of intrepid? </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/81001-testing#post-974 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:53:36 +0000 corenominal 974@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>Ah, the 64bit request, already! :D No promises, but it would be good to give it a try. </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/81001-testing#post-973 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:36:56 +0000 hakimaki 973@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>How about a 64bit version this time around?

While I'm talking about that, how come it's not possible to get a choice for Grub where and whether to install it or not ? (at MBR, or nowhere, or at the / partition ?). Because my beautiful Grub has now the need to be reinstalled, for me to be able to continue using the gorgious menu.lst I forged little by little along the years ! \o/ ! ... :-) </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/uninstall-openofficeorg#post-958 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:56:43 +0000 melodie 958@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>Hi corenominal,</p> <p>I think I tried to remove just the crunchbang-desktop metapackage, to remove the dependancy from the rest, and I even tried to re-install Openoffice.org, then crunchbang-desktop, to make the package manager believe it was "installed by hand" and thus not needed by the rest of the world ! But for Openoffice.org, I got the message "installed by hand" allright, but it was still not possible to remove it.</p> <p>I'm not interested in keeping it along with other applications, because if I do so, I'll have to accept all the updates to come, when updating/upgrading whole system, which considering Openoffice's weight is not that a good bargain !</p> <p>I indeed thought about the light version, but I didn't yet see what comes with it.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/uninstall-openofficeorg#post-957 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:26:51 +0000 corenominal 957@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>Hi melodie :)</p> <p>This is due to the "crunchbang-desktop" metapackage which lists all the packages needed to build the system as dependencies. I guess this could be considered as a bug, although Ubuntu's metapackages exhibit similar properties; have you ever tried removing PulseAudio from Ubuntu Hardy? Anyhow, I guess the easiest workaround would be to install Abiword and Gnumeric and leave OO.o as is. Other than that, the other option would be to install the "lite" version and then install packages as needed. </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/uninstall-openofficeorg#post-956 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:42:11 +0000 melodie 956@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I installed the full version yesterday, 8.04-2, and after the install I checked the repositories, update the list of applications, installed ndiswrapper and so and configured the wifi quite easily (pcmcia card Realtek with netma 512 Windows driver). Then I was suprised, as I tried to remove OpenOffice suite, as I prefer using Abiword that's lighter, along with Gnumeric : Removing Openoffice.org would remove 800 mo or so of all kind of applications and system packages, thus breaking the system : is it a bug, or is it done on purpose, and if so, what for ? </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/customize-crunchbang#post-954 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:43:54 +0000 Kiljaeden 954@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>Hey !<br /> I found out on my own a way to have a transparent pypanel.
