This post will remain sticky and I will try to update it as and when any new issues arise:</p> <p><strong>94% installer bug</strong><br /> Some users have reported the installer seems to hang at 94%, before continuing and completing the installation. I have not experienced this myself, but I am assured the installation itself is not affected, apart from the user having to wait some additional minutes during the "configuring hardware" stage.</p> <p><strong>Post GDM login lag</strong><br /> Some users have reported slowness after the GDM login screen. This could be caused by the GDM post login script, which is used to set-up accounts for users with separate home partitions. Once your user account is set-up, this script is not really needed and is safe to remove/rename. Use the following command:<br /> <pre><code>sudo mv /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default.crunchbang</code></pre> 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-949 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 18:20:01 +0000 Kiljaeden 949@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have installed Crunchbang Linux a few days ago, and I like it.

And how can I customize it, making it transparent for example ?<br /> -Also with this panel, is it possible to hide minimized windows icons ?<br /> -Where is located the Terminator config file ?<br /> -How set windows half-transparent ? For example, I'd like to have all my inactive windows with a semi-transparency effect, automatically. Is it possible ? How ?<br /> -Do you know complete icons themes which look nice with Crunchbang (dark icons) ? With complete, I mean with all icons, for each MIME types, and buttons in tools bars. A simple dark Tango would be great, but I don't find it.<br /> -Do you know nice windows themes ? Dark too I mean. Default with Crunchbang is grey. I'd like a black one.<br /> -Is it possible to have a transparent tablaunch ? How ?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Post scriptum : it's possible some answer were given in the forum, but I didn't find them.

About differences between 32 and 64 bits on the same processor:<br /> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/363677/Benchmarks-AMD64-in-32bit-mode-vs-64bit-mode-Ubuntu" rel="nofollow">http://www.scribd.com/doc/363677/Benchmarks-AMD64-in-32bit-mode-vs-64bit-mode-Ubuntu</a><br /> Next problem - the best application for digital photo processing is DigiKam (which requires kde-desktop). So probably simplest solution: to install Kubuntu + OpenBox + scripts from CB. After reading some comparisons, I've found that - strangely enough - Ubuntu has better support from Canonical than Kubuntu. The same version - and Gnome based version has less errors.<br /> Solution: Ubuntu_amd64 minimal installation/ext3 -&gt; install kde-desktop -&gt; install OpenBox + CB scripts. Seems to be going the longest possible way :) .<br /> By the way, menu under right mouse button (in my current, i386 CB) is so intuitive and obvious its hard to use start menu in Windows back again!<br /> [I have no idea which section this topic should belong to] </p> http://crunchbang.org/forums/topic/how-to-access-windows-partition#post-941 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:31:46 +0000 snowpine 941@http://crunchbang.org/forums/ <p>Here's a basic question: How do I access my Windows partition?

I'd first of all like to thank Philip for his great work on #! I've been using it from the beginning, tried to come back to Hardy or OpenSuse recently, but I remain a big fan of #!, which is the fastest and the most reliable distro I've ever used.</p> <p>That being said, I'd like to ask how to define the preferred applications. In particular, I'd like to make Epiphany my default browser, in place of Firefox, so that for example Epiphany would be launched when clicking on a link in the mail client. I guess xfce-setting-show could be an answer to my question, but changing the default application doesn't have any effect.

I have been able to do this in Ubuntu by installing the following:</p> <p><code>$ sudo apt-get install pptp-linux network-manager-pptp</code></p> <p>Here's the general procedure:</p> <p> - Once those two packages have been installed, click on your Network Manager<br /> and select the option for VPN Connections<br /> - Click on Configure VPN; this will open a VPN Connections dialog<br /> - Click the Add button<br /> - Click Forward to create a new VPN connection<br /> - Select PPTP tunnel from the drop-down menu<br /> - Click on the Authentication tab and select "Refuse Chap"<br /> - Give the connection a name, and then type in<br /> your vpn server path, such as vpn.your.domain.com<br /> - Click Forward and then Finish to complete the process<br /> - Reboot your machine and you will see that the new connection is listed<br /> under your network manager; look under the VPN Connections<br /> - Select your new VPN connection under the VPN Connections menu in your network manager.</p> <p>Once I have authenticated with the domain, I can then connect to the desired server via Samba (smb://), which I usually do using Konqueror. </p> <p>So, in #!, I have installed pptp-linux and network-manager-pptp, but I cannot see any VPN options through the network manager. I'm sure that there must be a way to configure this through the command line, but I have not figured it out.
