Re: System monitoring on Salix Ratpoison

Hm, I'll try to reduce the resource consumption. But nevertheless, some kind of battery monitor for laptop computers is definitely missing in Salix RP IMHO. Even a text window showing the current battery state would be a good progress.

System monitoring on Salix Ratpoison

I still think that Salix Ratpoison is a nice distribution. But all the time it has been a little bit unhandsome to use on a laptop since it was hard to monitor clock, battery status and wifi signal strength. My current solution is letting Ratpoison start the Conky system monitor when booting up. I a...

Thoughts on Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware

Today I was unfaithful and installed Ubuntu 14 on my HTPC. I had OpenELEC installed on it, but I wanted to add some emulators and additional software, and OpenELEC was a little bit unflexible for that purpose. I chose Ubuntu because my favourite emulator just got packed into a brand new Ubuntu packa...

How do I configure battery management for Salix Ratpoison?

Hi, I few days ago I was called and left my Salix laptop alone (battery operated). When I left I first thought that I would be back in a few minutes. But in the end, I needed several hours. When I came back, the laptop was off. I tried to restart it without power supply and battery operated. I was u...

Re: XBMC 12.2 installation problem - Oracle JDK installation

Thank you for the answer. But I really was unable to install xbmc using the Salix tools. The Slackbuilds.org script for 12.3 worked after regarding the library version dependencies and getting Java to work. I think this Java thing is something which should be documented for beginners somewhere: Most...
