Just joined the Waldorf party yesterday! Main reason was that my SSD is shuttding down after like 10 mins of uptime (yes, it's sandforce...). So I managed to put Waldorf on a SD card after some work. Main issue was to get the GRUB installation correctly. My old trick, running a live usb, mounting the CB install in /mnt and then running grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX didn't work this time. Got grub installed, but no auto generated menu. After some mounting and chrooting I got a proper grub2.

And now I'm sitting here wondering why I'm running Windows 7 on my computers. I realize now how much I have missed CB and linux. I moved away from using it daily since my netbook got replaced with something more powerful. Stupid decision.

Oh! Nice script. I tried the bash version, I'd like to run that on my Nokia N9, since it's a mess right now with loads of repos and deps.
Getting this error thoughm when running with sh apt-search

~ $ sh apt-search nano
apt-search: line 18: syntax error: unexpected "(" (expecting "done")
~ $ ./apt-search nano
-sh: ./apt-search: not found

edit: also added the ./apt-search, doesn't run the script at all, as you can see.

I think we're a little mixed up on terms here.
OpenBox theme: configured with settings > openbox > gui config tool. Affects borders (aka windows decorations) on windows, rollbars and openbox menu.

GTK theme: affects how GTK applications looks. Changed at settings > user interface settings

Icon theme: only affects icons, in best case system wide. Also changed at user interface settings, under the icons tab.

Why do you want grub installed to your usb stick?

I know the question is if it would work, but I'll give my two cents anyway.
Laptop speakers can never give a very good sound. It's just simple physics, you need that volume (as in space) of air to get a good sound. Not saying that bigger is better, but laptops are just too small.

A friend was about to buy an iphone dock, and we tested the Dr Dre dock from Monster. It was actually quite good. So everything isn't bad.

Think about having some kind of external speakers, at least for home use.

We all have illusions of ourselves, we just don't realize them until someone points them out. But those lines there is probably what makes a good person, and what'll make you a great dad!

I used johnraffs version of this script. I get a slight halt after plymouth, with the normal TTY login (is it called that?). Then I get to the gdm login screen. I have set gdm to auto login (it's a htpc), but gdm doesn't want to auto login. Before gdm login screen launches, I see this error message at the TTY login screen.

process:339): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)

edit: oh yeah, this doesn't happen with for example the plymouth text theme

I think this one has been on the forum before, but anyway.

Are you sure that the network isn't causing the problems?
If you hit ctl+n in vlc you'll see the network stream window. You can set pre-buffering here. 300ms is the default value.

I was just about to say, what about OpenSolaris? But then I learned that Oracle killed OpenSolaris when they bought sun. Damn Oracle. Those guys are masturbating monkeys!
I installed OpenSolaris when it still was developed. It was a really short install, but I remember that it was very easy to install and set up. We're talking windows easy install here.

+1 Here for Audio Technica.
A long time I was using the Sony Eggo headphones. Great for portability. But then I decided to go for noise canceling. Now I'm running a pair of Audio Techinca ATH-ANC7. Best headphones I have ever had. Comes with a nice case also. Noise canceling is great!
If you're looking for headphones not sold in your country, I'd recommend Bluetin.com. Site looks a bit crappy, but I have ordered from there twice. Got headphones at a good price both of the times. Or else Thomann, if you're in Europe.
