Show off your Linux desktop

neato! I'll have a look see

Though currently trying out kde (been a long time gnome user), and actually starting to like it. Though it doesn't have it's gnome-equivalent issues

 

PCLOS: been a while for this one...

 

Kubuntu 9.04 alpha 6 with Amarok 2: (it's faaaaassssttt)

 

Just another quick one here... I'll be building a desktop soon, and maybe have some 64-bit Arch shots or something.

 

Dude I like that.

I'm gonna screen my arch desktop whenever I finalize it. I'm still toying with things.

 

This is Easy Peasy, an Ubuntu made for EEE's. Second time putting Linux on my EEE (have this on the 4GB SSD, XP on the 16GB SSD), first time with a built for EEE distro. Everything just works, no need for me to figure things out like before.

 

That's ATOMIC !!

 

LM6x64...checking my web album too

Sweeeeeeet.

 

I am very much so still playing with things, but you get the idea.My conky script needs to be edited. It's pulling the wrong lines from the nvidia settings and it looks ugly. I just haven't gotten to it yet. The image is just a random from google. At this point, I'd need to make a vid to really show my desktops coolness. I'm still changing things, but it's getting there.

mmm, I love Arch.

*edit- Did I mention my love for Arch?

 

Sweet desktop Bungalo!

I noticed that the GPU clocks for conky were off a bit. I have a conky script for that if you want to see it

 

No it's fine, that script was for another computer. For whatever reason the lines changed on this one. I actually fixed it already. That screen was my initial setup with no real configing. I'm glad you liked it though!

 

You don't think you could upload or link to your wallpaper? It's tremendously awesome on so many levels

 

Here's the new desktop


Bigger screen here --> http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/8779/screenshotpdf.png

Modified sihkih-dark theme
No window borders
Slight nautilus transparency
Now using docky instead of AWN.

 

Here's mine

 

Is that just gnome panel on the top left and right?

 

Yessir.
word count limit

 

That's an interesting idea.

I tried using the awn menu, but half of the awn extras don't work. I don't know what package I'm missing. I'm not too down on it. I've got the dock and my shortcuts.

 

Half the AWN applets never worked for me either. So far Docky meets my needs.

 

Nice desktop! Mind if I ask how you got that layout?

 

Haha, it's HP's MIE OS that is based off Linux for the Mini. It looks cool, but you lose a lot of functionality. Just thought I'd post it anyways.

 

Teach us! Please!!

 

proxima_centauri, can you give more information about your theme? Like, what WM are you using, and what font that is?

 

Charr:
Gnome w/ Compiz - no window borders, slight transparency in nautilus
Modified sihkih-dark theme (made it blue instead of red)
Snap font, part of the artwiz-fonts package I believe.

 

Very sleek looking. You did a very good job with it!

 

Thanks!
Oh and I forgot, the icon theme is buuf deuce.

 

Got Buuf on my LM6x64....nice theme, different

 

The HP MIE OS looks nice!

 

Mine is nothing fancy, but hey I like it.

Nice rm2....with Fedora...how was it find all the multimedia codecs?

 

@rm2: The wallpaper in the first video looks awesome! Also how did you get your desktop recording in Linux to HD? It's funny that YouTube adds the HD option (not talking about HQ), in the embed, as it doesn't resize the embed (it only resizes the video) to the resolution, making it look more distorted - but still clearer and good sound. Good job!

 

The wallpaper on the first video is the default one in Fedora 10. I simply uploaded the full res video to Youtube and they do the rest. As for the codecs, it is not hard at all. Fedora has improved a lot in that regard. There are lots of guides around the web that show how to do that. Basically, all you have to do is configure their 'Fusion' repo. See here for example:

http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/

 

thanks....that seems more like it....last time I used Fedora I was looking around RPM find or something like that...it was a PITA I'm curious now if Fedora will boot into X on my machine...so far only Ubuntu derivatives and PCLOS will because of hardware/screen detection problems.

 

I would be surprised if it doesn't. It is certainly worth a shot, especially for those that like KDE 4. I have found Fedora to be the best implementation so far.

 

Here you go: http://rukmal.weerawarana.org/2009/03/how-to-install-hp-mie.html

 

another linux mint 6 x64:

 

Yep, I can't get Fedora 10 KDE to boot up...it get's hung on my intel 5300 wireless....looks my choices are still all ubuntu derivatives and PCLOS. But, Mint 6 x64 is a pretty nice place to be though

 

Thats a really nice theme, could you point it to me online ?

 

Too bad, but not too bad.

 

I'm trying Alpha 11 KDE now for grins....

EDIT: Alpha 11 was no device detected also....

 

wearetheborg,

very cool desktop guys. I'm curious which apps are you guys using to monitor your system resources on the right side? I would like to use those also.

thanks.

 

My cpu monitor is a 'screenlet' called cpucoreall or something like that on the custom screenlets page on the web. I was having Conky issues, so went with that.

 

thanks. I will check screenlets out.

 

Thanks, unfortunately it did not install for me (said wrong file format). Looking rom the comments, I seee that I may need to isntall other components. Ack.

 

You need to untar the 96394-0.191.tar.gz file, the theme.tar.gz is inside.

 

rm2...I remember way back you were touting PCLOS....still use it? I really really like that whole scene over there. It's one of the few distro's I can get to run on this dell precision. What do you think about it compared to Fedora (which I know is rock solid)

 

I just installed Compiz fusion on my desktop for the first time. What can I do with it?

 

It's only stated purpose is eye candy, although it turns out to be a very powerful window manager - much more powerful than metacity. You can configure it through ccsm. Compiz options come in the form of "plugins" that you can set and manage through ccsm.

I don't know what distro you're doing this in, but under arch compiz does not automatically assume a window decorator. Under Ubuntu it does.

 

Thanks ! That worked.
In the end, I decided to go with
