I am using Variety wallpaper changer in cinnamon 1.8 on Manjaro, not on LMDE anymore. You have to add the following line to ~/.config/variety/scripts/set_wallpaper: gsettings set org.cinnamon.background picture-uri “file://$1″ 2> /dev/null for it to work, but in my opinion it is the best out there. ...

It is just cairo-dock with clock and workspace switcher detached and random wallpaper. Very easy to do.

Can't remember what the cinnamon theme was, but the bar is switched from bottom to top in Cinnamon settings.

Is there any point in me continuing with this?

Steve

No Arch based, Arch with a better installer, really could not be bothered with the "Arch Way"

Yup, yup and no, not stuck on gallium - I have it working in Manjaro (see edit to my first post), off work with a back injury, needed to get it running to play half-life2, or day time TV would have driven me insane

New volunteer (or volunteered :)): Tracking Sid, installed, boots to distorted log-in screen (mainly black, bar of distorted colour at top 2-3cm) with huge square mouse cursor, that can be moved.

That is bizarre, even turned off via the keyboard, mine still shows up in lsusb.

Steve

Stab in the dark, boot off a live cd, does it work from there? (or does it work in windows if dual boot?).

I would have expected it to show up in lsusb, weird!

Steve

Don't know anything about mac, but are you getting a grub screen with that countdown? If so press 'e' to edit the grub command line and add noapic there.

Steve

Try creating another user, this will show if it is a problem with your copied home directory.

Turn off the lock screen will also solve the problem, it is in the gnome-control-center > Brightness & lock section.

Why not try the Liquorix kernel? Currently on 3.6.x, if you don't like it or it cause problems, just boot to previous kernel in grub and uninstall with synaptic.

I (and many others) have been using for months with no problems.

3d support on the open source driver is poor, you need the proprietary AMD driver. They work for Lizbeth, they don't work for me - HD5400. I suggest using clonezilla before trying to install.

Steve

Same here :), but this spin-off has a graphical installer of sorts (and I had a spare 20gb partition). I won't say it was easy, I must of tried 3 times, eventually got there with the beta installer. It (Arch) is a bit rough around the edges, needs a decent synaptic type application (pacman-gui is cr...

Might try that later, compiling current liquorix kernel for Arch ATM (I really like Manjaro, it feels so snappy compared to LMDE, perhaps I need a fresh install to compare). Yeh, I had a panel less gnome2 for a while it wasn't to bad, I just renamed gnome-panel to gnome-panel-old.

Steve

Before I used Cinnamon, I used to use just compiz as my dm, think I will dig out my old config files and play. Never liked gnome2 but I do like cinnamon and gnome 3

Yes, that is why I installed Manjaro, fglrx was just not going to work for me in Sid, but I saw good reports that it was working in Arch. I am just familiarizing myself with Arch (never used it before), before I take the plunge and install XFCE. Only problem is I will be stuck on XFCE if it works (n...

Yup, did everything by the book, would not work, or would only give me fallback.

I think (from all the Googling I did) that you are just lucky!
