Show off your Linux desktop

It's JJ 9.04. But I forgot to show off my transparent; black background-white font terminal. Damn...

This is my Asus EeePC (sig). Woohoo! This little sucker is fun.

 

Link to my desktop.

 

That is definitely the kind of background I cannot use

 

What's wrong with it? Seems fine with me

 

I don't have any problem with it. I just don't want to have to deal with remarks...

 

Hehe.. True. I didn't know what it was until my girlfriend explained what that picture was about. I'm not too interested in it anymore as well

 

It's fun watch but I'm not sure where the plot is going? Hopefully not in the obvious direction...

 

Well it's the best wallpaper I have at the moment, what better wallpaper could I have really?

 

Screenshot of Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit on the desktop.

 

That looks like what I see after too much wine at the botanical gardens....lol !

 

Haha... I'm sort of wondering how they got that shot myself.

Shortly after that screenshot, I got Compiz running.

 

testing a screenshot plugin....Slack 12.2/

Could you please share those wallpapers?

 

Wow, very nice. :smile:

 

What are you using for the open apps? I noticed some icons in the bottom right. I want that.

 

Let me hazard a guess: PyPanel with full transparency, or Trayer.

 

ooh, I should try that. I have yet to find my "perfect" setup. I've tried a million things, all with their faults.

 

Yep, trayer, and the middle is conky.

waiting to a zombie to walk across the screen....lol

 

This is what my desktop looks like when I'm bored and/or confused.



Openbox, conky, nitrogen and tint2

P.S. I haven't been in these forums in ages! But now it's summer break and I have to write that LVM guide for Calvin, haha.

 

Made me dizzy Hey, is that conky on top? Can I see your conkyrc file?

thanks....I want to rearrange my conky display...this helps!

 

Both those desktops look nice.

What distro, P4rD0nM3?

 

I spy, with my little eye... A little green Chameleon!

 

OpenSuSE of course.
You should know that by now, pixelot .

 

My Ubuntu 9.04



please fix the Image size, not used to vBulletin here

 

Here is my desktop after yet another Jaunty install on my Vaio TT (which at the moment is hooked up to a 18.5" LG external monitor hence the size difference )

 

nothing special... just simple

 

Could you share your .conkyrc, please?

You can just post it in CODE tags.

Ubuntu 9.04

 

Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 with Conky and Compiz.

 

Updated Desktop, looks much nicer

 

Made a couple of changes, most notably using Ubuntu System Panel now:


Click Here For Full Size


Click Here For Full Size

 

What dock is that?

 

awn with an invisible theme.
or are you referring to the notifications bar at the top right... then it's stalonetray.

 

KDE 4.2.4 on Ubuntu Jaunty.


10 Second boot
I hardly see the KDE splash screen, though it's enabled.
Anyone who wants to know the tweak, just ask.

 

You mean Ubuntu and not Kubuntu?

 

I mean Ubuntu + KDE, not Kubuntu.
That basically means I didn't install the Kubuntu-Desktop package, but installed kde-core from the KDE Members KDE4 PPA.

 

nothing special, but this is my F11 x64 desktop (resized from 1600x1200)

 

conky config inspired by, and based on, j0hn00's .conkyrc

 

I want to know the tweak =)

 

Make sure the readahead package is installed.
This probably won't get you the same results as me, but it should speed up boot.

Alright, so you need to do ctrl + alt + f1(save data and exit programs first!).
Login with your username and password.
Type:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo readahead-watch -o gdm.list

It will grind the hard disk for a few minutes.
When it stops, type:

Code:

/etc/init.d/gdm start

Do ctrl + alt + f7.
Wait for the login prompt, and login.
When gnome is fully loaded, do ctrl + alt + f1 again.
Type:

Code:

sudo killall readahead*

Then do ctrl + alt + f7.

Start a terminal, type:

Code:

sudo su

You are now root.
Type:

Code:

cat gdm.list >> /etc/readahead/desktop

Reboot to see the effects.

 

My Openbox setup

 

KDEmod 4.2.3, Arch Linux.

 

Sorry, you can't do that from here.

 

Huh? What?
