pixelot, I'm going to have to step in here and say that avatar of yours scares the hell outta me.......LOL

 

Hahaha. Beware the Monkey Mafia! I deal with any monkey business around here; we can't have TRT getting closed again, so I'm here to keep people in line.

 

I think I'd give that guy all the 'juice' he wants on his money.....LOL

 

lol...nothing quite compares after youve seen these

 

There goes my lunch....LOL

 

hahaha...its some twisted australien artists work, more of her work is "wtf"

god i hate looking at that pig thing...it stares right back at ya with a freaky smile lol

 

That's disturbing. What is that?

Edit: Oh.

 

That's disturbing........

 

hehehe....my 11 year old daughter saw the last one, and said it started out as a 'naked mole rat'.....wtf?

 

you wont belive the title the artist gave to that pig thing...."We Are Family"


holding your lunch alright ?, well at least your not eating a balut hehe

 

Drinking Mountain Dew, and I'm alright. I can take blatantly disgusting images pretty well.

Subtly disgusting things, however, get to me more.

 

A balut wouldn't make it past my teeth.....LOL

 

There's not enough swill in the world to drink THAT thing pretty......hehehe

 

Drinking Coke, but I was feeling sick already(family members been having trouble).

 

I thought this thread was about screencaps, lol.

Here's my T250 today, just some stock windowmaker sakura theme I jacked off of freshmeat

 

D-EJ915, looks great....I'm not as big on Anime as I used to be, years ago, but still looks great. What are some good maybe lesser known sites for wallpaper, etc? Have any?

PS: We have to throw in some BS once in a while just to stay sane. lol

 

Heres mine, just started tweaking the looks.

 

Best wallpaper site

www.interfacelift.com

wallpapers in high quality for every resolution



Yes I agree we have to throw in some BS...hehe

 

Ooh. I like it. I want my desktop to look like that, but I can't even get it to look like a cube (compiz-fusion here).

It just folds out flat.

 

Here's mine, I like the darker backgrounds.

 

Tut tut. How many times must I tell you about fonts. You need to use more cool fonts. www.dafont.com, dude.

 

Nah, that isn't my best hold on.

 

I ncompiz fusion, how do you do that thing with the cube like here? Compiz is still awesome though!

 

First step is getting the display drivers working right. I could tell you how to do the nvidia ones, but i dont know about your ati.

 

Can you explain it the best you can?

 

Its going to be totally different but ok...

Go to nvidia's website and download the latest linux driver and save it to your desktop.
Then reboot and change the run level to 3 (text mode).
Then run the nvidia installer from your desktop that you downloaded.
Then navagate to your xorg.conf file (located /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
Open it with the nano editor and scroll down to the line under display that says "nv" and change it to "nvidia".
Save this and close out. Then reboot.
Upon reboot you should now see the nvidia splash screen meaning you installed it correctly.
Then you should be able to successfully install and run compiz fusion/beryl.

 

Thomas....did you check out DreamLinux 3.0? If so, curious what you thought about it...

 

No, not yet... I will though.
Thanks Nizzy! I found it before that though

 

Oooooh, Compiz-Fusion

 

Much better font. :smile:

 

HAHA, i told you

 

Youre such a font freak Pixelot !

How can you see what fonts being used in the cube pic, crazy bastard.

LOL

 

LOL!!!!!! He is isn't he?

 

Yea, he's probably got a weakness for fonts, perhaps a font fetish? (my sick mind is wondering how that would work...)

BTW, I love how this topic randomly gets offtrack.... quick have to think of a statement to justify such none sense... a Windows thread couldnt ever do such wonders lol

 

The font he used to make the wallpaper, dummy.

 

Damn, just got pwned by the fontmonkey mafia

Im gonna go sit down in a corner for a while

 

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did compiz work pixel?

 

Working on it right now.

 

Cool, let me know if it works

 

Here it is, I use Linux Mint Daryna.

 

Well, the cube works to rotate it, but how do you freeze it there?

 

Nice elementhp!

 

Control+Alt+Mouse Click+Move mouse
If you hold Control+Alt+left click without moving the mouse it stays in place. to take a screen shot you have to use Apps<Accessories<Take screen shot & put a delay in it.

 

Arch

 

My desktop on my new T40, with Ubuntu 7.10:

 

Thanks a bunch. I'll post a screenshot when I get it looking good.

 

Havent heard from thezoid....

either hes trying 3 new distros at once, or the image of that pig thing + balut freaked him out lol

 

It worked? Your welcome, I'll do a guide on that

 

Yeah, I like it, but I hate being a gamer! >.< I would have switched to Linux a long time ago if I wasn't a gamer, but I have to dual boot.

 

Have you tried Wine?
