Fedora 20 minimal install: default user directory oddity

2014-06-07 Thread Noah Cutler
Hey all. I fedup'd from F18 to 20 a couple of weeks ago (suprisingly smooth process) but decided to blow it all away in favor of a F20 minimal install as I am "fed up" with Gnome ;-) So, here we are on a minimal install with no DM or DE, just i3wm with agetty --auto-login as a quick & dirty autol

Joining the modern era: Xinerama to XRandR

2014-06-07 Thread Noah Cutler
Got RandR setup in place here with a 3 monitor setup, but have hit a sticky wicket relative to previous Xinerama setup (which I have reverted to until I find a suitable workaround). With Xinerama we can stich together separate X screens under a single large display. This allows me to use my monito

Fedora 18, Gnome 3, and the "future" of Compiz

2013-02-17 Thread Noah Cutler
Hey all, first post. Just installed Fedora 18 on a new Dell Precision series laptop. Gnome 3 looks gorgeous -- was on the fence for quite awhile with Fedora 14 due to the backlash Gnome 3 received post-launch. In regard to approximating a Gnome-Do/Compiz setup: 1) how is the multi-monitor suppo

with Mate + Compiz, and Gnome 3 a bit more, have yet to dive in, just first impressions so far. Noah On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 1:10 PM, Rahul Sundaram wrote: > Hi > > > On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 1:02 PM, Noah Cutler wrote: > >> >> >> 1) how is the multi-monitor

Gnome 3 with a splash of Awesome

2013-02-18 Thread Noah Cutler
After having sat on the fence with Fedora 14, fearing the worst in making the switch to Gnome 3, I must say, with Awesome for the WM, I am perfectly fine with Gnome providing the goods under the hood. xcalib is quite nice as well for inverting screen color (i.e. no more glaring white background to

I have the 830 and was researching whether or not fstab "discard" option was still necessary for SSDs with ext4 partitions. Apparently it is for most SSDs, except for the Samsung 840 Pro, which apparently uses a new technology that conflicts with "discard" In the event that you are using it, disc

Desperate: toggle message tray keybinding without gnome-shell

2013-03-10 Thread Noah Cutler
Going a bit nutty here, using i3 WM on top of Gnome, and am only able to trigger message tray (i.e. notification menu) display via mouse click. On Gnome IRC I was told that there are no keybinding hooks in the notification-daemon code, therefore toggle show/hide message is not possible without a m

Have been working out some kinks with recently acquired Dell M4700 Precision workstation. Out of the box everything just works (impressive compared to Fedora 14), except for Nvidia K1000M chip which insists on max power mode (heat) in multi-head setup (Linus gave them the finger; I'd prefer that t
