This is not the first time I have told you about a KSplashWell, I did it before with two for ArchLinux (KSplash # 1 & KSplash # 2), but it will be the first time I bring you one to Debian : )
It's just a simple modification I made to the Simple KSplash which mcder3 brought us before, I changed the logo of Arch By the Debian, And this is the result:
To install it is simple, here are the steps:
1. Download the file: Download Simple Debian KSplash
2. Open the System preferences and enter Workspace appearance.
3. Once there, we go to the bar on the left where it says "Annunciator screen".
4. We click on the button Install theme file, a window will open (as a Browse) through which we will search for the file we downloaded.
5. We select it in the menu and click on Apply.
And voila 🙂
I hope mcder3 don't be bothered by this hahahahahaha.
regards
this is for KDE right?
Yep indeed, for KDE 🙂
What happened to you that you are using Debian.
Once again, after a pacman -Syu in Arch the system didn't pick me up 🙁
I don't know why every Arch update was so unstable lately, I don't know if it was Arch or my laptop ... but no way, I would have liked to try Mageia, Fedora, Chakra, but I don't have access to the repos of these distros, so it was or Debian or Ubuntu 🙂
and out of curiosity .. branch are you pointing to debian and what version of KDE did you install?
Testing (Wheezy) is what I'm using, with KDE 4.6.5, LibreOffice 3.4.5 and incredibly VLC 2.0… O_O. What hurts me the most is having Rekonq 0.7, Chromium 16 and KDE 4.6.5 T_T
ahh and finally .. did you install libreoffice 3.5 and vlc 2.0 ??
I get it, I understand you .. that's what discourages me from Debian tetsing 🙁 Too late to enter the packages .. I have to go back to Ubuntu with gnome shell only for the free office 3.5 repository and also for vlc 2.0.
now how did you install vlc 2.0 ?? Did sudo aptitude install vlc help you?
I have the same repositories as KZKG ^ Gaara and I didn't have VLC 2.0. I had to run a:
$ sudo aptitude dist-upgradeSomething that happened to me and I could never solve while in debian was that when I installed the kernel 3.2 and something, I could not hear audio from the headphones, only from the rear horns (that is, the rear port). Don't you know why this happened to me?
Yup… T_T… I need KDE 4.7 at least right now 🙁…
For VLC 2.0 sip, an aptitude install vlc was enough, nothing more.
If you like Debian then use it, if you want to later have new packages that are not in the repos you can still always use the Ubuntu PPAs, or download the .DEB from the application website, or in the last case download the .TAR.GZ and compile it yourself 🙂
mmm no idea, I have the 3.2 right now and everything without problems.
You would have to open alsamixer in a terminal and check the sound bars to see 🙂
I'm going home now 😀
Tomorrow will be another day 🙂
ohh you said something that lifted my spirits: O
So the ubuntu PPAs for example this "sudo add-apt-repository ppa: libreoffice / ppa" can also be installed on debian? : OOOO
I'm not sure the "add-apt" command works for you, actually I don't think so ... but you could add the PPAs manually in to sources.list 🙂
By doing this, yeah… you can use Ubuntu PPAs in Debian 😉
Well sooooo thank you very much today I learned some new things. Cheers
hahahaha you're welcome 😀
My arch was half bad (like that installation was more than 1 year and a half) and installed chakra. It also doesn't help that the arch stable images come out annually (I know they pull untested images almost daily but it's not very sure what we say: /)
Hey Jamin Samuel if you are interested in installing the ubuntu ppa on debian, here's how to do it:
http://ubunlog.com/%EF%BB%BFcomo-agregar-repositorios-ppa-a-debian-y-distribuciones-basadas-en-esta/
Although it is not highly recommended due to the different versions of packages and dependencies, but in testing it should work
Cheers(:
Diego Thank you very much! although the truth is, I'm not interested in using debian at the moment .. I'm still in ubuntu + gnome shell and I'm super used to the gnome shell .. therefore I'm more than sure that I will try fedora little by little and see how it goes in those places 😀
I congratulate you, I see that you use fedora .. could you tell me how to install this package: "msttcorefonts" in fedora? .. this package installs microsoft fonts such as arial, verdana, times roman etc.
mmm ... the package "msttcorefonts" when downloading gives you a .rpm package, that package can be installed graphically since it has a package installer like gdebi, it is very simple since after having installed the fonts, these are already available for use in any of the libreoffice tools.
Yes, I'm using fedora but just to experiment, but the truth has impressed me, especially the improvements of the gnome-shell, in particular with the way to "disconnect" from wireless networks so between today and tomorrow I have to change my shape definitively to fedora and format my disk with ubuntu, anyway if you get to try fedora, you can solve any problem in google, many of the problems I have had I have solved in google.
Cheers(:
Haven't tried Fuduntu?
I was testing it for about 2 days .. but for study reasons I could not dedicate myself to get my hands on it .. the only thing I could not do in fedora is install jdowloader and solve a problem with the aludio that only heard the back horns more not headphones.
over there they told me to try to open the terminal and put this: alsamixer and configure the audio output .. well when I install fedora I'll try to see how it goes.
What I don't know is if you can already enjoy libreoffice 3.5 in fedora. I know that when one installs fedora it includes a free office, what I don't know is if later he updates it to 3.5
I'm afraid not 🙁
I have my system updated and the version of libreoffice I have is 3.4.5
Only if you have the dvd, fedora automatically installs libreoffice, if you only have the livecd then you would have to install from the repositories, but it is relatively the same since that is the version that it gives you after updating 😛
i guess when fedora 17 comes out then they will already implement 3.5
Cheers(:
Thanks bro. well I'm not sure yet, but every time I sit down to study a little about how Debian / Ubuntu and Linux mint work, I feel more like running to fedora. When one realizes that one is using unstable things such as Ubuntu or Linux mint or the sid branch of Debian, one says: aha and then where does one really worthwhile pass? Well I still don't have the answer to that question but I'll try fedora to see how it goes
I couldn't install the fucking debian uu
What was the reason? Debian is very easy to install.
Anyone who already has experience in installing debian is not difficult .. in fact you have to know how to install 😉 greetings
A secret, when you are going to install it, do it without graphic mode, I mean, only with the ugly blue screen, I assure you that it will not fail 😉
Thank you very much for the KSplash right now I install it to my Debian. And very true what they say, it is much better to install Debian in expert install
the question is:
gnome shell 28 will be released on March 3.4, will it be available on debian too?
I doubt it TAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNTTTTTTTOOOOOOO !!!!
not even in the Sid branch ?? :OR
You're welcome 🙂
Would someone tell me what it consists of and how to do this compiling issue, apparently it is super necessary to know in this linux world ...
What's up, it's not so necessary
Gaara if you download KDE 4.7 or 4.8 for testing let me know ...
Hehehe a little doubt, is it so bad for them with the KDE version they have right now in Debian Testing?
KDE 4.7 is in Experimental, 4.8 nor do I tell you ... I think the Debian people have not yet found out that it came out T_T
ahahaha poor little ones !!! .. We must make a campaign against obsolescence xD and encourage the project to keep it up to date 😀 (joke)
It's your computer, it's not Arch
I'm not mentioning the guilty or anything ... I'm just saying, telling what happened to me, each one to draw their own conclusions 🙂
I tell you, that's it.
Take a look inside to see
HAHAHAHA I'm not jokingly opening my precious laptop for a nonsense like this ... I'm not kidding, I'm too rough / brusque 🙁
Testing (Wheezy), is it supposed to have the latest? or is that not it? is that with debian I'm lost
Nope at all ... notice that it still has KDE 4.6.5, when a few days ago KDE 4.8.1 came out
Hello first of all I am new around here, very good blog is very interesting, ah well thank you very much for the bootsplash.
KZKG ^ Gaara
Yep… T_T… I need KDE 4.7 at least right now
Well, change the testing repos to sid in sid worth the redundancy, it is already kde 4.7.4 for a few days, I also wanted to change the repos but I do not say it is sid and it gives me I do not know what, then if you add it I have the nvidia drivers installed.
Hello and welcome friend 🙂
Thank you for what you say about the blog, it is just what we try ... to be a bit different from the rest, to be not only a blog / site but a community, a family
In Sid is already 4.7.x?
mmm hehe, really now I want to use it hehe, I'll wait a bit to see if Testing has just entered, because Sid does not inspire me much confidence 😐
Thanks for the comment 😀
regards
In fact, I just moved to sid because everything went well until that, I still thought and if I screw it up well, shit it nice, hehe then if in sid it is kde 4.7.x if you are going to wait for testing I calculate that in about 4 months kde 4.7.x will be in testing, at least that's what I think from the dates that are taken http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/ and then thanks for the welcome.
What disadvantages does the Sid branch have? I really do not know much about how it works in that branch ... the only thing and the little that I know is that in Sid the new packages and they have been released arrive there first.
Now that does not mean that because they are new packages they are unstable or if? - If they are unstable, how canonical stand up on a Sid branch, and how do they do so that the packages don't damage the system?
I would like to learn 🙂
I will explain very briefly how Debian branches work 🙂
Suppose I am a developer of X application, I made it and proposed it to Debian to include it in its repos. They put it in the Experimental repos, after a while and the Debian developers consider that the application I made is a little more stable (that has fewer bugs), it goes to the Unstable repos / branch, after another time I correcting bugs and errors, when they consider that it is less unstable then it goes to the repos / Sid branch, after another time doing the same as it goes to Testing ... and, once God himself comes down and gives his approval and we ensures that the application is 110% perfect and free of bugs, then it is passed to the repos / Stable branch
Do you see why it takes so long for applications to enter Testing? 😀
This obviously, I explained it very, very simply, in fact maybe I omitted some branch haha.
regards
Incredible .. everything is a protocol: O
aja and how canonical then to stand on the Sid branch of Debian? since as you are telling me the packages in the sid branch are less unstable ..
What happens if one is in the testing branch and stops at the sid branch? I imagine that the system is practically as if it were an ubuntu, right?
More or less .. 😀
Yup ... more or less hehe 🙂
And if you use the Experimental repos, well, you will tell me ... hahahaha
Axis ready now I am clear! .. in a few words who is in the sid branch is using ubuntu, and who is in ubuntu is using debian sid 😀 ahahaha ..
It's not exactly like that, but hey, it's pretty close ... to use Ubuntu more or less you should use Sid and Unstable (or Experimental maybe in some cases).
what are you trying to tell me, that debian sid is more secure than ubuntu? Wow!
Yup, possibly ... in fact elav tells you his opinion, he has used Debian more than me 🙂
Now, you have to see what Ubuntu is ... for example, Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) has been a Debian Stable + some Testing packages.
Hahaha God himself hahahaha
😀
simple:
Debian Sid is more secure than Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 ??
Ubuntu also takes packages from Experimental. But in theory I think so, that Debian Sid is more secure than Ubuntu 😛
In theory, but you're not sure? because if that is true then it makes me want to switch to debian and use the sid branch .. if it is true what they are telling me that sid is much safer than using ubuntu.
How sure are you about this?
well I just read there that for the unstable branch (Sid) there are no security repositories since possible bugs are corrected simply with the update of the affected package.
What consequences can this bring? - checking the repos that ubuntu brings by default I saw that at least ubuntu does have its own security repos
seeing this, every time I like arch more, it is not to belittle debian,
But the origin of my previous question was because I had heard that in debian it was more updated than arch, I have arch without activating testin, what would be the equivalent in debian?
Well, notice that as a debian sid user now, it does not have the newest software to say it in a way, my debian sid has the kernel 3.2.0-3 in what you imagine fedora, it has the kernel 3.2.9-2 another point To highlight is the gdm3 in my debian sid has gdm3 in version 3.0 and some distros, such as fedora have gdm3 in version 3.2
Fedora is a spectacular distro! ... I'm tempted to try it, but when it comes out ready with the gnome 3.4 😀
by the way how are you doing in the sid branch?
and how is the change from testing to sid made?
Well, I'm doing great, I spent a while in testing, but as they say in debian, first try testing, after you gain confidence, go to sid, and then to go to sid is not complicated, you just have to edit the sources list, and change them sid, so if when you do the update be sure that you are going to download more than 600mb, well of course if you handle 2 somewhat heavy environments gnome and kde hehe.
I understand .. and when you do that, the system is looking like a rolling release, because it will be updating hard at all times.
Have you noticed that Kde 4.7 is already in Debian Testing? today in the morning he told me that he had 34 updates, I checked and there was kde 4.7
Yes indeed, it is already entering. Yesterday packages related to languages entered, the rest is already today ... great 😀
Well, that deserves a publication! = D
publication!! publication!! 😀
good that I have already arrived, on the other hand in my gnome I already have some packages in its version 3.3.91 and I want to see when 3.4 comes out, and someone knows how to integrate iceweasel in kde I say at least make it look good as in fedora, by the way I have the oxygen kde theme for firefox / iceweasel but even if some things look crappy.
I have a doubt, how could I put this modification in debian lenny to make its load a little more attractive
In Lenny do you have KDE4?
GREAT, simply GREAT… Greetings!
The download link is out of order.
