At the moment I use the default Openbox theme in Waldorf. Actually outside of a few very minor compositing, tint2 and conky tweaks I'm pretty much just running the default Waldorf settings. I think it's easily the nicest default so far smile

As long as the pipe menus keep the option to install any of the main browsers I don't think the default is a big issue. Personally I'd stick with Chromium. Every Tom Rick and Harry distro uses Iceweasel/Firefox. Live outside the square smile

Due to licensing restrictions Apple implemented its own version of Samba in Lion. It's effectively crippled and useless. I ended up moving back to Snow Leopard because of this and other reasons. Lion is a lemon.

Review might be to strong a term but for what it's worth I wrote down a few thoughts about Waldorf and CrunchBang in general smile

Oh ok sorry. I'm running Waldorf. That would be a better way to get a cleaner version of CrunchBang on testing.

^Does it happen with the default config? I don't have this problem at my end.

Why not give the change of colour a try - Waldorf is in testing mode anyway!

I've been using CrunchBang since before this forum existed and apart from one time on April 1st, I think we can safely say that will never happen.

I'd follow Awebb's advice. Use the 'Active topics' link or 'Unanswered topics'. I don't think I've ever used 'New posts'.

Windows features? That must be a typo smile

A few more tweaks to Waldorf. Minor Conky/tint2 changes and a few compositing tweaks. Wallpaper courtesy of a friend who recently snapped an image of me doing my thing smile

I'll see what I can do about restoring some of the build script links. They were lost when I didn't renew my hosting for omnsproject.org

It works for me @bozhkov smile

My suggestion would be to go through corenominal's posts and see his style of development and interaction with the community. In this context the disclaimer makes perfect sense. It just reflects who he is and how he operates as a person smile I think it also reflects the community as a whole. I've never seen so many people prepared to break and experiment with their systems just for fun wink

Oh my @schorem. Work or no, ppa's are not the way to go hmm

Oh, nice catch @gurtid and others on the sdc -sdc1 bit. I missed that when modifying the command roll

Yes, CrunchBang is pretty much just pure Debian with some custom packages and configurations.

It's not a problem on Ubuntu's side is it? As in, there's something wrong with their ISO?

In the past with Ubuntu I've found it easier to burn and boot a live CD and then use their GUI disk creator to make a USB. It's quicker if you have two usb's. One for the iso image and the one for the usb disc you are making. Their disk creator gives you options for making the drive persistent and makes life easier. It takes a while but it will work  smile

maybe try

sudo dd if=/home/throne777/downloads/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc1 bs=1M

or just plain

sudo dd if=/home/throne777/downloads/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc1

Does the usb work/boot?

Having a look at the new Waldorf images. Very very nice, I must write a review and hopefully it will be a bit better received than the last one I did for Statler tongue big_smile
