The root password is something random. Normally you don't know the root password on a ubuntu based box.

Do you know sudo?
If you want to execute a command as root you have to use sudo followed by the command.
Something like: sudo <command>

Of course you can change the root password with "sudo passwd". Don't know if this works when the filesystem is read-only.

Yup for me it's Deluge too. I used ktorrent before and was able to adjust to Deluge easily .

Did you resolve this?

My firefox desktop in /usr/share/applications also has no icon.

Open the file with an editor (with root rights) and look for:

changing this to:

will fix the icon.

Maybe the recent update from 3.05 to 3.06 broke things.

I found a rezlooks deb for 8.1 on http://software.opensuse.org/search?bas … s-rezlooks

I do prefer open source apps over closed source because I want to prevent vendor and drm lock-in and lock-out. Plus, I think open source apps are much more future proof.

On a freedom standpoint in this camp:

Don't know much about this but...

Does rezlooks show up in GTK+-Change theme tool?
You can start this through menu --> preferences --> User interface settings or "gtk-chtheme" from the command line.

Never heard of turbo print.

I think you will get better results if you ask your question here: http://www.turboprint.info/support/

Ahh you could login you were only stuck on the prompt.

Some alternative options:

1) startx

After logging on via the prompt you can type "startx" to start the graphical desktop without having to start gdm first.

2) update-rc.d gdm defaults

Give this commando as root or with sudo. This should enable gdm to it's default runlevels.

Pcmanfm supports drag and drop:

http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/

Just tried this on my 8.10.2 Lite:

Select a file (and "hold" the selection) to "pick up" the file and move the cursor over a directory until the cursor shows a little arrow.

If you open a second tab (crtl+t) in pcmanfm you can select file in the first tab, drag it to the second tab after which pcmanfm changes to show the contents of the second tab where you can release the file.

If you open two instances of pcmanfm you can drag and drop a file from one instance to the other using the same technique.

I did not need to change any settings in pcmanfm.

Hope this helps.

This ubiquity runs in the Live X desktop right?
Is it possible to do something like crtl+alt+f1 to see what messages are showing "under water" (in the console)? Maybe the errors you are looking for are logged directly to the console. Also take a look in /var/log/messages and dmesg (if the live distro has this).
