I just found slurm. It's a console based traffic graphing tool. I like to leave an SSH session open with it running because...I'm a nerd.

I was looking for something like that the other day. I just go up and running with Fedora 15 two days ago. Works good, Rails installed without a hitch. Running KDE because I'm just tired of GNOME, but I'll probably try the new version soon. http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-prerelease

Some vimrc snippets some people might find useful (there's no vim thread?):pre:if $TERM =~ '^linux'
set t_Co=8
colorscheme desert
else
set t_Co=256
colorscheme jellybeans
endif
set ignorecase smartcase
set wrap textwidth=79 formatoptions=qrn1 "colorcolumn=80
set relativenumber
nnoremap ; :
let mapleader=","
nnoremap j gj
nnoremap k gk
Sets soft line-wrapping and you can uncomment "colorcolumn to turn on a red line at column 80. I find relative line numbers more convenient for modal line editing. (Less math to do in your head) Holding shift for : is kinda dumb, so remapped it to ; And remapping j/k to gj/gk allows you to move along soft-wraps. I'm really slowly starting to learn vim. Each time I sit down at the computer I get lazier and lazier: "Oh man, do I really have to move my hand over to the mouse to select this poo poo? gently caress".

I've been playing around with Arch right now just poking around and now I'm wondering what's next? On my list is to figure out how to configure my wireless internet and maybe look into using official Nvidia video drivers rather than the open source one. What are some other things I can do to learn more about Linux and the operating system? Also, I installed Gnome since that's what Ubuntu used and now I'm wondering, is it possible for me to not have something huge like Gnome installed but still have "windows" when I need them? I use Vim for programming and gnuplot to plot things, both I can do from a terminal, but when gnuplot spits out the eps file can I just type 'open plotname.eps' or something and somehow see the picture? Or when I want to browse the web or something.

Try Fluxbox if you want to give that a shot.

I'll check it out since it can't hurt. I'm planning on reinstalling Arch anyway once I get over this whole "experiment with everything" phase for a cleaner system. I don't really know what GTK is nor the difference between something like Gnome or Compiz so it's a learning experience all around! The worst that can happen is I somehow break everything which would take all of 10 minutes to flaten and reinstall. e: One thing I really don't like about gnome is having to mouse over to the top left to see my installed programs. Why can't I add them to the top bar or something? Ziir fucked around with this message at 15:15 on May 8, 2011 |

Don't forget that you can install pretty much all of the desktops to see which ones you like, and don't like and just choose between them when you log in. I'm not sure about Arch but most distributions will have a 'Session type' right on the login screen, and you can pick from GNOME, KDE, etc (assuming you have them installed).

GDM and KDM will allow choosing of different desktop environments. But others will require you to go through ~/.xinitrc and choose from there.

Zom Aur posted:Arch has gnome3 as the stable gnome version now, so AFAIK, no, he can't. There are key commands to make it appear: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet "System (Windows) key or Alt+F1 - these key combinations will take you to the overview or back to the desktop." I think there is an option in the Tweak Tool that will let you set it so moving the mouse to anywhere along the left side of the screen makes the overview appear. Less pleasant solutions would be a desktop icon or using something like docky. And not to say wanting to have an always visible launcher icon is a bad thing, but it would seem to be against the gnome design goals at this point.

I've been using Ubuntu for a few weeks now. I'm trying to install Diablo II of all games and it's giving me hell. I insert the Install disk and run the install.exe file with Wine. It runs then tells me I have to insert the play disc. I take out the install disc, put in the play disc, and it says 'Error mounting: mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/PLAYDISC busy'. From there, where the dialog box says 'Please Insert the CD labelled 'Play Disc.'', I keep clicking 'OK' and nothing happens. The installation originally went fine, but then Diablo II wasn't present in the wine folder that it was originally installed in and there seems to be no way to get it back. Any ideas?

There's also PlayOnLinux (should be in the repository), which is a Wine frontend with canned installation scripts for a lot of programs, including D2. I haven't used it on D2 specifically, but I've had a lot of success with it for other programs. It also lets you install each program into a different wineprefix, meaning different settings and, potentially, wine versions, which can be handy.

Probably will need to use the Google Docs API. Shouldn't be too hard to write something in Python for it, and you can always expand the functionality of whatever you're using it for pretty easily.

I've tried to like Gnome 3 but I can't because it randomly freezes all the time, especially when I mouse over to the top left or whatever and bring up the icons. My cursor/trackpad still works, but everything else is unresponsive and the only thing I can think to do is hard reboot it. Welp, time to try something new.

Gnome 3 currently does not support ATI. Being an ATI user, I've noticed tons of little problems with Gnome 3, but of course I can't say for sure how many of them are related to the driver issues. I can't stand it, so I've moved to KDE, which is funny since I abandoned KDE for Gnome when I was horrified by version 4.

I haven't done much with X windows in a while, but doesn't Xorg handle the graphic card interface, and Gnome is just a window manager running on top of it? How does Gnome not support a video card?

I don't know enough about graphics to answer that. Firefox on Linux does the same thing: no WebGL for ATI/Linux users until ATI's drivers make the browser crash less often, according to the Firefox devs. In the case of Gnome, I haven't gotten any crashes but I do get weird rainbow colors in places in the system menu and GUI elements that I can't click in at least one important Java application. I can't imagine what Gnome is doing that's so exotic. Gnome 2 always worked great with Compiz and Linux games, both commercial and free, have never been a problem for me.

Was the same deal with compiz some years ago, where the official ati driver supported the majority of effects, except for transparency. This is just me guessing though, I haven't used ATI in linux for more than 4 years.

Yeah, it's this kind of crap. Sort of like I use gnome-do with docky, which requires a proprietary ATI driver. AMD flat out states that the card, even though not a horrible card, and has an accelerated linux driver, will no longer get driver updates. Did an upgrade between two versions of ubuntu, same versions of gnome-do and docky and all that poo poo, but an upgraded Xorg version. That version of Xorg would NOT work with the old driver. So went from being able to composit to not being able to. Had to go harvest an old as loving hell nvidia card out of a machine to get poo poo working again.

Acceleration, compositing and suspend to ram worked close to flawlessly on that machine. The fact that I had to spend hours compiling mesa and the open driver made it almost worthwhile. Still, depends very much on what card you have and what version of the driver you have available. There's also stuff like radeonhd that you could try.
