Hello!

Hi everyone,

I just installed Statler on my main machine. I decided to ditch Ubuntu after I realised that since I've started using Awesome Window Manager, I now do just about everything through a terminal and barely use any of Ubuntu's 'user-friendliness' features. So when it came time to reinstall, sticking with Ubuntu would mean either putting my laptop's modest resources under unnecessary strain, or going through the hassle of un-installing all sorts of things right after installing the OS.

#! seemed the obvious choice.

So far I'm liking it. Easy installation process, quick boot times, and everything I need just an 'apt-get install' away.

I am having a few minor teething issues: Tapping my touchpad doesn't click any more, which I miss. My reading suggests this can be fixed by changing Synaptic touchpad settings in Xorg conf, though I've yet to try it because the last time I touched xorg.conf, terrible, terrible things happened. Also, I used to rely on Nautilus to auto-mount removable drives, but Thunar doesn't seem to be doing that. What do crunchbangers use for auto-mount?

Also do you (we?) have a better name than 'crunchbangers'? Because it... it sounds somehow wrong.

Welcome to #! smile

If you ask your questions in support then you will get more answers, not everyone reads the intro threads.

HI,

Welcome to this forum, robertskmiles. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

For the touchpad problem, see this thread:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … in-screen/

I am not using thunar myself, but that problem pops up quite often. Try searching the forum or wait until someone more knowledgeable steps in.

Agreed, I do not suppose "bangers" sounds any better... big_smile

Thanks smile

Thanks for the tip. Something like that occurred to me shortly after posting actually. I wasn't really intending to ask questions when I started the post, but thinking about summarising my #! experience so far brought the issues to mind. I was sort of thinking out loud; I don't really mind if they aren't responded to here, I can google.

I think the 'Crunchbangers' question belongs here rather than support though. Because, I just made that up and it sounds kind of insulting so I don't want to use it if there's a better term. What do #! users like to call themselves? Now there's a question that's hard to google.

Edit:

Here, in England we call sausages "Bangers"

Sausages and old cars. Possibly equivalent to 'beaters' in american english. Edit2: Is there anything wikipedia can't do? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decrepit_car#Terminology
