I upgraded today my shitty asus eeepc 1000HE and the upgrade went fully wrong Seems the i386 Debian upgrade process has some LVM bug left. Anyway, the bad experience turned out nice in the end as I tried a minimal LXQT install on this really really shitty netbook having only 200MB ram usage in idling state The poor old machine is still alive and kickin' but I guess Buster will be the final distro it will ever run before it will be sent to the recycling park

Simple xmonad

P.S.
Found a little neat util-pfetch. Why i use it? Because neofetch is slow and bloated.

Kinda crossposted from r/linux4noobs

Folks who know me know that I probably haven't changed my wallpaper in about three years. Been working for the last couple of days on some conky tweaks and thought I'd share a couple screenshots.

WM is openbox, the normally hidden panel is tint2 and since tint2 doesn't have a pager I had to kinda sorta make a quick and dirty pager you'd use by clicking on the desktop names - visible in second screenshot.

Anyway, I kinda like it. I especially like getting to share a screenshot that's different from the one I've used for the past two or three years

Me too

Is that a #! wallpaper? Do you have a link for it?

No, I just googled for 1920x1080 carbon wallpaper and stumbled across it.

openbox menu is about the same color as the desktop and integrates pretty well

[wizard10000]

HoaS, here's one showing menus - this is a slightly tweaked #! theme -

GNOME:



Changed shell to zsh with grml's configuration (providing the spell correction and menu-style autocompletion, git status is also included in the prompt) and zsh-syntax-highlighting. It's running in (u)xterm with a custom autostart script to merge the .Xresources file manually, otherwise the configuration doesn't work under Wayland.

Running the new version of Blender from the downloaded tarball in $HOME

I compiled newest version of mpd. The newest version is 0.21.16. In Debian repos MPD is 0.21.5-3, and this Debian version crashed sporadically. The newest version works like a charm....also, to be on the safe side, i compiled newest versions of mpc (0.32) and development version ncmpcpp.

I compiled newest version of mpd

Did you include the patch for the configuration file location?

Here's a version that does: https://software.opensuse.org//download ... ackage=mpd

[None1975]

Did you include the patch for the configuration file location?

No i don't...but MPD reads my config file, which I placed in

Code: Select all

.config/mpd/

without problem. Also i start MPD with systemd

Code: Select all

$ systemctl --user enable mpd.service

Here my config:

Code: Select all

playlist_directory  "~/Playlists"

}       

Anyway, thanks for the link.
