Anyone recommend a good lightweight login manager? Been searching around online and I've found
Slim
Qingy
Orthos
Any others I should check out/anyone have input on any that I have listed? I'd prefer it to be graphical and have the option to select your session.
lightweight web base file manager? Its for a NAS with 128MB of ram running debian.
I only need very basic functions. Delete, Move, Create directory etc. I am currently carrying this out via SSH.
I would like to know if there is a window manager that has no decorations (window borders etc) and shows all opened windows in a tab bar. I am using gDevilspie at the moment to undecorate the gnome (metacity) window borders on all windows, but i wondered that my computer could be so much faster, because i dont really need any of that eye candy that gnome provides. I just sign in to ubuntu, and open firefox.

Supports virtual desktop (need 4 minimum) Works well with multi monitors - can move an app with shortcut from one monitor to the other (on same virtual desktop) Can remember window position (i.e. open vim on 2 monitor) - however must coerce everything back to first screen when 2nd screen is unplugged Keyboard shortcut friendly Not too hard to install Works well with minimum hardware such as integrated graphics.
After a long ride searching for linux download managers I have found only Multiget and GWget(that both are out of date), KGet and UGet.Don't any one know any other download managers?

and where can i get it..
Excuse me for bringing back this kind of subject already discussed by other users, but I need it. I have slow internet connection so I need a download manager that is able to accelerate downloads and resume them after they are paused or interrupted by provider disconnection. I tried kget but it's very slow. After some minutes downloads hadn't even started. I found that downthemall and prozgui got a more suitable speed but I have had problems with latter versions of both.
In downthemall almost at all downloads that amount to a size of several Mb's the speed start to slow down when it reaches from 90% to 99% completed until 0kb/s and download pauses, needing manual resuming. But I can stay watching downloads to see when they'll stop, mainly if they are large. Prozgui worked fine in my opensuse 11.3 install but now on 11.4 some downloads seem to end up correctly but when I use them some files are corrupted.
I've been playing around a bit with Xlib programming, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a good tutorial involving XContext's? Even if someone could explain the concept to me a bit.

View 9 Replies View Relatedyesterday i installed slim login manager on my computer (eee pc 1018p, ubuntu 11.04), and now it cannot get passed the ubuntu loading screen (with orange dots underneath) when booting. i tried booting into recovery mode and that didn't work either. i also left the computer trying to boot overnight and that didn't work.
basically, during this loading screen that should eventually bring you to the login screen, i can alt+tab to see the progress of the load. the progress is stuck on
Is there anything I can do from grub to remove slim?or, is there any way I can access my ubuntu partition and save all my files?
I've recently switch to Arch with Lxde, and I'm looking for a login manager. I want this to support a "guest" account, a user that can be logged on passwordlessly, but not just auto-login. I don't really want to use kdm or gdm, either.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently tried to install Ubuntu on an old disused laptop I inherited. I bought a new hard disk just for the purpose. Unfortunately it crashes when trying to install Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Mint. Long story short, not enough RAM and an old processor are the cause. I was wondering if there are any very lightweight OS out there for old computers. I realize it depends on what I want to use the laptop for. But I dont know what I want to use it for until it is usable. SO I'm just looking for anything. I found this linux distro : [URL]..
View 8 Replies View RelatedI was running it portable on a 4gb usb drive via virtual box which worked great unless I used a computer that had virtualbox on it. The portable version would remove files that the original version needed. I decided to try Qemu. The problem is that the portable version only allows 1gb of space to install regardless the size of a usb drive. so the question is: Is there was a way to trim ubuntu 9.10 down to less than 1gb of disk space? If not is there another portable emulator that could be used instead? the only uses for this are for the use of evolution and opera in a linux environment.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy issue is that I have a small VPS (512MB, 1024 burstable RAM) and I am planning on using it as an application server for say a voice server and maybe a small game server.
Coming from a Windows background, the only way I know to do this is to have a GUI + Remote Desktop and download + install the servers and run them as one normally would on a desktop PC.
But obviously this would eat up a considerable amount of my RAM.
Is there a way to download and run something like Teamspeak 3 just through the kernal alone?
If possible, is it worth the hassle (especially if I am running multiple server applications)? Or am I better off using a desktop environment + Remote Desktop?
I downloaded a theme from gnomeart, and in the readme it tells me to use "gdmsetup" to install it - however, when I try typing "gdmsetup" in the console, it says "command not found". How would I go about installing the theme?
View 3 Replies View RelatedopenSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 release 2.I can change the desktop theme and the splash theme, but I can not change the KDM login manager theme.First, I changed th setting /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME from suse to nothing in Yast -> /etc/sysconfig editor in order to get rid of the ugly Suse login theme.That resulted in having the traditional KDM login theme with the clock.I go to Personal Settings -> Advanced tab -> System: Login Manager (I enter the root password).In tab "General" I checked "Use themed greeter". Gui style and color scheme are set to default.In tab "Theme" I select a theme, click apply, then clikc ok.I log out and log in again. Nothing has changed. I still have the oldstyle KDM login theme.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying to set up my Xfce desktop on a fresh install.
I personally dislike Xdm, which is given as the default login manager, and would prefer to use Slim instead.
It is possible to install it using the Package Search feature (it's listed under the Contrib repository), but I haven't been able to set it as the default login manager (I wasn't able to find such a setting in /etc/sysconfig).
Just been looking at an 11.04 bootable CD, where I was reminded of the continued existence of xfce. "Must try that again!" I thought, and installed it through the Software Centre on my 10.04 laptop. I washoping/expecting that xfce would then become an option in the Sessions pulldown at log-on, but no such luck. What should I be doing? It is not my intention to switch to xubuntu, just to take another look at an alternative window manager.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOk, I've tried Unity for awhile now and I can say it lacks a couple of critical things for me. First is launchers, second is a task bar. While casually browsing the web is ok, more serious work involving several windows has become a pain.
I have a dual screen with four virtual desktops. I'm tired of searching for my windows.
Now, I've read in a few places that I just need to choose "Ubuntu-classic" whenever I boot my machine. This is fine, but for the fact that I don't have any options on my login screen... Just the login and the accessibility & power buttons at the bottom right.
How can I log in using the old gnome display manager?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had Slim working with the latest -Current updates, but that was with a package I built before updating.
I borked my system yesterday and had to do a fresh install. Now I can't get Slim working.
I tried running the Slim SlackBuild from Slackbuilds.org, and it failed without giving any errors. I figured out that the problem was with this section:
Code:
The strip commands were failing and caused the SlackBuild to exit, so I added '|| true' to them.
Code:
Not sure why this is needed in -Current and not 13, maybe because of Bash 4.1?
Anyway, now the package builds successfully, but Slim won't start. My system just hangs at a black screen after 'Starting up X11 session manager'...Has anybody been able to get Slim working in -Current?
I use KDE but there is no login manager at all, no KDM or even GDM.I have to login from the console and startx each boot.Not especially problematic but I can't understand it. Apparently there is GDM installed but I don't know how to set it to run at bootup, as it's not a daemon (is it?).And I can't find a KDM package in any repo I have tried.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWith gnome-do, you can do things as quickly as possible (but no quicker). In a low-spec application, the 'do uses up ~16mb of ram even in idle mode, if I recall correctly. Are there any lighter alternatives to gnome-do? It's so useful - but I feel like its functionality could be even snappier.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install debian on a slow netbook, and I can only install to a bootable SD card. The SD card is 200x, so it should be fairly fast. I was just wondering what filesystem would be the fastest, and use the least amount of cpu. I think it should be a non-journaling one, since this is flash media. I was thinking ext2 originally, but I heard ext4 has a non-journaling option, and is faster. However does ext4 take up more cpu usage?
