Thank you for the suggestion, I will give it some consideration. Vim is my preferred terminal editor and I am sure previous versions of CrunchBang included the vim-full package. Would anybody else like to second, third fladd's proposal?

No problem.

Oh dear, here we go again...

Hello zenjester and welcome to the forums

Thank you for your suggestion to include Geany, it has been noted. To be honest, I love Geany, it is an excellent editor and I will certainly keep it in mind for future releases. Having said that, gedit is also an excellent code editor and somewhat underrated. It has a huge array of features/plugins and can be configured to operate in numerous ways. IMHO, I think gedit currently has the edge in terms of quality and usability, but that is just me, what do others think?

Hmm strange, okay, sorry for the faulty advice. I guess you could download the packages whilst using the LiveCD and save them to removable media, or even mount an internal drive and save to that. Download URLs:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i38 … c/download
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i38 … c/download

Note, you will probably only need the second download. The first download is an empty metapackage. Once downloaded, try to reinstall with Gdebi.

Hello Cope57

Thank you for the feedback and welcome to the forums! Regarding your wireless, which card do you have?

Hello Guys

You could try using xrandr and adding an entry in your Openbox autostart file to automatically set the resolution for you. For example:

1. Open your autostart file for editing, right-click on your desktop and select "Preferences -> Openbox Config -> Edit autostart.sh"

2. Add a new reference to xrandr, somewhere near the top would be best:

xrandr --size 1280x800 &

Change the above dimensions to match your desired screen resolution. You should be able to get a list of available screen resolutions by entering the xrandr command without any arguments.

Hope this helps and welcome to the forums

There is also an article over at: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/crunchbang … ll-via-cd/ - if you go ahead with the install, please let us know how you get on.

Is the terminal font not defined in your terminal's rc file? If you are using Terminator, it is listed simply as "Mono", which I believe is an alias (A depreciated one at that.) The alias probably points to either DejaVu Sans Mono or Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. If you run the following terminal command, it should print out the name of the font used on your system:

fc-match Mono

My system returns:

corenominal@muppy:~$ fc-match Mono
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"

I am not sure if this is the answer you were hoping for, still, I found it interesting!

It is, that is, it is as long as you have kept your .01 machine up-to-date, in which case, the errors are puzzling. Is it the LinuxOutlaws.net Laconica instance which you connecting to? If so, I have an account so I can try to replicate if need be.

Hello Wizionus

Sorry to read you have been having trouble with your wireless. Another user experienced the same thing and we spent a good few hours trying to diagnose the problem. Hopefully the fix should be fairly easy, there are a couple of installed packages which are the cause of the problem, simply remove the packages and reboot to fix. Enter the following terminal command:

sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-9-generic

Hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience.

P.S. Welcome to the forums!

Do you have any updates with this? I am not sure there is anything I can add, other than to maybe suggest following the same procedure with different USB media, if available? At least then we can eliminate the possibility that it might be the physical device which is causing the problem. Let us know if you manage to crack it and please keep us updated.
