Obviously, it was very clear to me that I REALLY need SolydXK. :) Definitely, me too! I still have the Wheezy(Xfce) install, and it was fun to play with, Heck, it's even usable out of the box. But as you say, there is a ton of config from bare Debian to a "sweet spot". Gotta have my Solyd! :D Edit:...

For some unknown reason I've never had any success with Debian's live dvds on my hardware. I always wind up with broken X (no screens found). I have been historically too lazy to get to the bottom of it, and after a few days tinkering I just decided, as Snap said, that it's just plain easier to use ...

How about this one?

Really?

@Raven, Jessie is officially stable/released.

I don't know what your final objective was; I was upgrading a SolydKBE install to Wheezy using the instructions in this post: http://forums.solydxk.nl/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=5246 I ran into the same error. I solved it by purging solydkbe-system-adjustments, and then continuing from where I left off. I...

Thanks Frank and Arjen, I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Edit:
solydk-system-adjustments_2.0.8 worked fine; apt did indeed ignore the missing recommend. All is well. Thank you both again!

Assuming that baloo will be installed as a recommend for the Jessie folks who are also installing solydk-system-adjustments...

Could Wheezy folks then get around it as a recommend with?

I dimly remenber reading somewhere... Isn't there some kind of snafu regarding baloo transitioning to baloo4? Don't know if it affects this; my packaging-fu is absolute zero...

First, I apologize in advance if this was covered elsewhere and I missed it. I hesitated for a long time to bug you folks about an old system, you've enough to do keeping up with Jessie as it matures... Attempting to move SolydK-BE to Wheezy sources (Copy-pasted from the OP), I'm stuck here: dv7-127...

This can be a real problem on some laptops, as it requires three hands! :lol: On my HP, by the time I'm holding [alt + (fn+sysrq)] All available hands are in use, and my fingers can't reach the other keys. So I need to call a buddy over to press R-E-I-S-U-B... Doc, do I really gotta hold all these k...

I'm afraid I have to throw in with Nuke and Zill as far as my personal feelings go. However this doesn't really worry me as I never have much trouble getting rid of stuff I don't want, no matter the defaults.

<ahem> Well. Almost never. Strong word, that...

I'll miss you so much. I have been, and always shall be, your friend.

Thanks Schoelje, of course I would have completely forgotten that...

Bravo! I think it was Janeane Garofalo who said that the masses are not arbiters of the sublime, so it's incumbent upon us not to fit in -- "...if you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing something wrong." :lol: :twisted: I'm one of these odd ducks who always finds myself...

I'd love to have the option during installation ....It just a cosmetic thing that serves for nothing else than masking the booting process. Agreed, I'm a function over form person, which is part of the reason I never got any good with themes. Aesthetics ain't my bag. I'd like to not have to deal wi...

It's a nice idea keeping the original theme. Make a copy of it with your favorite name "greybird-fleabus" and tweak it to fit your taste or make different versions to compare or just to keep them. Yes, I already did that, I chose the "Curve" window decoration because I like the narrow, dark blue ti...

This is really great news! I have a lot of fond memories of my beginnings with !#. It's one of those distros that I just sort of thought would always be there. I'm really glad someone else picked up the banner and continued to carry on...

My system is Nvidia 9600m/GT. Plymouth works fine on it. But I don't like to use splash screens, so Plymouth is always the first thing to go. I was a bit dismayed to find that there is now no selectable "Boot Without Plymouth" option. However, as the ISO booted, I hit Enter to stop the countdown, th...

I have never had any trouble connecting my Samsung S5 in Solyd. A little weirdness though. I cannot move files on the phone, I must delete from the phone, then and re-copy to the new location on the phone, whether or not I have USB debugging turned on. It's weird, but I don't worry about it, I'm jus...

I've been hunting all afternoon for the proper setting in that file... Greybird is ignoring my settings whenever I switch back to Greybird-Solydx because it's gtk3...

I give up, cry uncle, where is it?
