Wow, I am currently developing a thunderbird add-on with netbeans and I cannot belive the speed. On my imac it takes 3-4 seconds to launch thunderbird in "dev mode" and on this slower machine it takes about a second. Debian + #! ftw. Sidenote, netbeans from repos does not behave very good so if anyone uses netbeans, download and install the latest from their webpage. Rock on for now \o/

Hey, *

Been busy at work and not keeping up with what matters, but I come home to find: WALDORF!!!

These last few distro-hopps, I've had to manually install the pae-version of the linux kernal to take advantage of the Atom CPU on the netbook, but #! picked it up and rolled right along. smile

I was beginning to think the 3.2 kernal was slow and clunky, until proven wrong.

This really makes my day.

I use nvidia driver and notice a lag when I have many open tabs in chromium. I found some ideas and "fixes" but the one I used was putting this >

nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=0

in my ~/.xsession since I launch from startx.
I am not sure if slim reads ~/.xsession so it might be used elsewhere.
To try it just launch the command and test if chromium is better.
The find out where you can launch it from on login.
So far I cannot say if there are issues with this...

SabreWolfy · 2012-05-21 20:20:45

^ Do you know if this is limited to chromium or it if affects Iceweasel as well?

is this edition only for pae kernel? I tried to live boot with the fb=false at grub, and a message says that this kernel deos not support my hardware as it is missing one component: pae.

It's not for the pea kernal exclusively... I seem to remember a weird glitch coming up from a Pentium M CPU before. See if the patch listed on post #15 can help. http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … pentium-m/

^ Yeah, wasn't it during the discussion of the backported kernel in the February 2012 release?

Glad to see development on Wheezy!! I'd like to throw in my two cents regarding the inclusion of pulseaudio in the final mix. i'm doing so from the perspective of a multimedia creator, specifically audio. Pulseaudio has always been problematic for use with QT Jack Control and we often have to completely remove it from the system for things to work properly. I can't think of one app that needs it unless users intend to bloat their systems with KDE or Gnome. Wine hates it! ALSA is still the way to go for flawless audio performance and since Linux kernel 2.6.32 there is even no reason to bother with a lowlatency image .... and it continues to improve with every new kernel. So, to stay on-topic and to make a long story short, don't bother with Pulse-pain-in-the butt ...

Been using your distro for years (Ubuntu days!). If anyone has any specific questions regarding audio on Debian-based systems, please feel free to ask ... you can also visit me here: http://tinyurl.com/Harmonica-Zeke

All the best!!

Hi, great work, smile
anything runs out of the box on my 64bit machine. (BTO with Athlon II X2 250 and 880GMH/U3S3 motherboard, integrated Radeon HD 4250 graphics, Realtek ALC892 audio)
But I must admit, I miss the xfce version and some apps. After setup I added: icedove iceowl-extension enigmail iceweasel radiotray gmusicbrowser gnome-system-tools lightdm xfce4 xfce4-goodies zim pidgin gpodder audacious vorbis-tools gdebi cheese nautilus nautilus-image-manipulator unetbootin pwgen grsync filezilla virtualbox gnome-system-monitor *l10n-de
The only issue during installation: I found no way to select the hdd / mbr that should be used for grub. The default failed and I had to abort the installation. Workaround: physically disconnect all but one hdd (;-)).
Cheers.

Installed Waldorf 20110430 testing release (dual-boot with Windows XP) on an Acer Aspire One D250 netbook, with encrypted /home and /swap. Had to run "update-grub" afterwards, but other than that, it's running well smile Pulled down ~350MB of updates and will restart shortly. Thanks corenominal smile

I stole the shiki-statler theme off one of my statler installs and am using that on my waldorf machine too... I much prefer the old dot window controls and black titlebars.

Source.

I think previous themes (Statler, Shiki-Statler) should be included by default in Waldorf.

gcalctool is not included by default in Waldorf. Has this been replaced by something else? I think a distro should have a calculator by default smile

Edit: Stopped looking for a calculator at the "Accessories" menu. galculator is in the "Office" menu smile

Fresh fully updated install of Waldorf testing on Acer netbook. Installed Iceweasel easily via the pipe menu and then hit Super-W which then launched Iceweasel. Navigated to a radio streaming website which uses Flash and started listening. Nice smile Very slick.

Iceweasel 10.0.4 is naughty. Logged into GMail and these forums and have one terminal open downloading something with wget. Netbook CPU has load average of 1.0 to 1.25, most of which is Iceweasel! sad Something must be broken in this version for an idle browser with two tabs to be keeping a machine above a load of 1.

Edit: Ok, it might not only be Iceweasel. Quit the browser and load average is still 1 to 1.25 on a machine with a termianl and a thunar window open? That can't be right ...

^ Yeah, my Acer Aspire One Netbook had load averages of 0.66, 0.66 and 0.66 with only terminator open and left idling. Doesn't happen with Statler.
