CrunchBang Linux

For what its worth.  I ran into the same issues or similar.  I fussed around for about a week and finally just used sgfxi from the smxi packages.  Even going that route I had to play with the selections a few times to get the Nvidia drivers to install completely.  I don't know why the issue occurs.  I did begin down the road of researching it but had too much work to do and switched to solving the problem rather than understanding where it came from.  Before using smxi I did try several of the debian "solutions" that I found on sites but all resulted in errors or incomplete solutions.  I am not sure my suggestion gives you the answer you are looking for but it will give you working Nvidia drivers and X.  Hope it helps or leads you somewhere.

Sorry to have missed out on the fun.  I am relocating half my stuff back to the states so now is a bit hectic.  I have a new and curious issue that I can't think of how to even google for an answer.  I am running Sid and updated a few days ago so pretty sure I have the latest and greatest.

Let's say I have a folder that changes a great deal.  The folder is user:user 777 recursively and could have 7 files in it today and 700 tomorrow.  Space FM never shows any changes.  It started with me having to hit refresh every time I made a change to the folder (about a week ago) Then it advanced to where refresh does nothing.  No matter what is in the folder it still shows the same three files.  Close, reboot, etc. no changes.  I am at a loss.  Any ideas out there?

Oh wait, new clue.  Thunar does not show changes to the folder instantly but if I refresh it does.

SpaceFM does not show any changes regardless of what I do.  It still shows the same 3 folders and files from a week ago. 

I am now thinking this must be my environment?

Put rntools in /usr/local/bin and try it

I still think this is path issue and I don't think it is .bashrc and .profile but something else

It has to be something basic and there is not that much to this.  As the earlier fix for the open terminal here showed us simpler is better.  I just can't think what it would be.

There is only copy mtools to the path.
make it executable
download the plugin
install the plugin

If it's not a path issue what else is there?  When you run it manually verbose what do you get?

Essentially your .profile is the same as mine.  I will add that to my .bashrc and see what happens.  I don't think that is it but I can't imagine what else is different.  Be back in a minute.

Yes, that is what I meant when I said that menu is just confusing to me.  I do better when I understand where the programmer is coming from.  I think Ignorant Guru is just so far ahead of me I can't get where he is at  

I am curious you say you have the path set in your .bashrc for the bin folder.  What is that line.  I only use a single line in .profile (since that is a path I want the same on all my boxes) and I use .bashrc for just that user on that box. I do it that way because I get confused otherwise.  I don't think having both should club the path or anything but I was thinking if I knew what line you are using I could test here and see if I get the same result.

yes it is but without it this works perfectly.  I have tested with numerous folders and it does indeed open in the folder that is open in spacefm

Are we solving two at once here.  I am lost. Ha!  I had no issues with the plugin once I put in mtools.  In my case I put it in ~/.config/bin which is where I keep user scripts and made it executable and it was off and running. Are you saying that you are getting an error that it can't find mtools?  I assume its in you PATH.

I checked with terminator and eliminated %d and voila!  It works thank you arclance.  In summary, I turned off run as task and changed the command to just: terminator.  So maybe you should try it VastOne without the %d I think it Spacefm already knows where it is.

I don't know about whether it needs anything.  It works a treat and the conf is documented well enough.  About the only mod I did off the bat was in cover.sh (which looked a little intimidating when first opened) to add a couple of lines of explanation for myself, alter it to just use /tmp and not make a separate directory etc. I had already written a python script that works for my conky and a rating script so I had the cover art and wanted it all working together or so it would separately in case of some other failure. Since I am whacking that file on every song change I don't need a separate folder.  I haven't ever played with hooks so this has given me a little incentive.

Bottom line. Well done, Great stuff and thanks for sharing

I am just wondering what the play list limits are on size in mpc or if someone knows a way around it.  Like Ivanovnegro I have a kind of large library (60K or so songs) but I enjoy completely random music.  In other words I would like to load my whole library into a play list and then just let it rip.  I hardly ever shutdown and stream all over.  The issue I am running into is that "mpc ls | mpc add" gives me the error "error: playlist is at the max size" anyone out there know a work around. Goog has not been to helpful.

Great idea. I have always used a template that I made in geany but often forget to open the template and eventually get pissed at myself because I finish the script and realize I left out the summary, etc.  have to open the template and copy it all back in etc.  A script to write scripts is just crazy enough that my addled brain will remember it.  As they said in Blazing Saddles "stand back, I think he's just crazy enough to do it".

Some notes from my latest playing around.

I recently did a Net Install using the latest Wheezy beta 2 and some changes of note.
Foremost is that it now discovers the wlan0 and offers wpa/wpa2 as part of the expert install. In other words I had working wireless for the install process on my Acer Aspire One 722.  There is not much else different except one major point that Debian is aware of and working on.

The 722 has ATI graphics which use non-free drivers as El_Koraco pointed out in his excellent post on the subject it is easy to fix in an X environment if you follow his steps. But if you are doing a command line net install to Sid this won't help.  The screen blanks and then is unusable after grub starts.  To avoid this:
During install since you have wireless select a mirror.  In the next step select and install software when Tasksel pops up select only SSH Server. Let it get set up and then run through the remaining steps as normal. When it's done it will reboot and the screen will go crazy. At this point ssh into the box from another machine and run the following:
apt-get install firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree
apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 module-assistant
Then exit ssh and reboot the laptop.  At that point you will have a normal screen and you can do the Sid upgrade as you like it.  Also this will give you all you need to install the catalyst driver in X once you have your desktop set up.

BTW you can also add blacklist radeon to the file /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf using a recovery cd. Install the above and then unblacklist the radeon and reboot.  I think ssh is easier if you have that option. Just in case this helps someone.

Wow, just stumbled onto this ... incredible, fantastic, wow. I'm screwing with some droid hacks right now but the moment I get finished with that I will be all over this. Inspired stuff.
