No more woes

| November 3rd, 2009

So after distro hopping a few times I am back using Karmic and am no longer against it.

GRUB2 finally makes the text on Grub look good, and the fstab errors I was getting were just xsplash being in verbose mode. I fixed all my openbox problems by switching to KDM.

All I need to do now is reduce the GRUB2 boot time now :)

I’ve been playing round with it a bit since my screenshots yesterday, so I thought I’d share.

I’ll put my .conkyrcs up if anyone should want them :)

So I thought it would be an awesome idea to post screenshots of my Desktop say once a month, so here is the first :P

I’ve been using really really pale themes for the past few weeks (They’re nicer on the eye compared to dark themes) and I’m really loving them. My GTK theme is Leaves and my Openbox theme is a slightly modified Ion theme. Running bmpanel with a slightly modified carbon theme.

It’s very annoying to set up, but once it is running it is very efficient and simple to use.
