Re: [arch-general] Banshee needs an update

However, it is missing many pretty essential features and it now far behind the releases put out by the banshee developers. I think that either we need to keep up or provide two seperate versions of the package until a final release of 1.0 is made. Thanks for writing this - I was going to write something along the same lines. the Banshee in the repos is much too basic. Where is your PKGBUILD up-to-date and with essential features, so that people interested would know what you are talking about? This is a developer's work. If Jan requests his help, Justin or Alec can email him directly to his e-mail. And yours isn't the answer much appropriate, the best way would was 'use the out-of-date checkbox and not this mailing-list' /* Leave from your brain this 'patches welcome' mind.

I am following KISS and trying to make things simpler, while you want to keep things more complicated, because you think that's what Arch is about. This is not KISS. KISS means keep what you're doing simple. Doing things manually in initscripts instead of somewhere which was designed to hold information of that nature is not simple, it is complicated. You can link wheatever you want, from phrakature's site to secret vatican's book, but this is the truth. Sometimes we are too busy and don't see it. Thanks David for showing it.

Re: [arch-general] compiz-fusion with gnome

I installed compiz-fusion to my gnome desktop and now I have two problems with it. First: no shadows around windows or panels (tweaked the window manager section under compiz control panel, but it didn't work). Secondly, the performance is very bad although games (e.g. urban terror) run fairly good. Also it seems that there is no option to use metacity styles (under ubuntu you can still use the same themes if I'm not mistaken). Just to mention, few days ago I had problems with compositing and openGL (I wrote a letter to the mailinglist), but after reinstalling and using nvidia-xconfig --composite option (no --add-argb-visuals any more on newer nvidia cards), the problem got fixed. So anyone having the same problem or know how to help, please let me know. Install compiz-decorator-gtk to be able to use metacity styles. Oh, and the easiest way to select it is to use a menu in fusion-icon ;) Thanks. That fixed the metacity styles issue. You can try the 0.7.2 things using my private repository. Any feedback is appreciated! http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32107p=5 Just for reference. -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User pgpREVEdVCSTQ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [arch-general] New web page
On Mon, 14 Jan 2008 11:49:11 +0200 I prefer the old style.. I don't like 'squared' logos, I love 'rounded' logos. ( like logo of ubuntu, kde, apple... also sony, bmw, ford.. and many others ). So, I try to by-pass the home page from now, and go directly on the place on I'm interested :) ( this is a joke :P ) My opinion doesn't reduce the quality of dev works: I love innovations, good or bad which are. Thank you anyway. -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User pgpLxu25mNLBn.pgp Description: PGP signature
