Xorg and packages that depend on it are currently not included in NexentaOS, but at least Xorg will be in the next release. The packages from Alpha7 still work. To get them add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.nexenta.org/apt-gnusolaris elatte-unstable main contrib non-free This is a known bug in the Xorg "nv" driver. A workaround is to enable the following option in the Device section: Followed by restarting Xorg.

Gnome is a free software and is part of the GNU project dedicated to give users and developers the ultimate level of contol over thier desktops there software and there data.

Not really. It doesn't use the GNOME application framework. The only thing it has in common is GTK+. GIMP can optionally use gnome-vfs, allowing you to load and edit images from remote servers.

Yes, we believe that Mono 1.0 is ready to be used as the main development platform for building applications for the GNOME desktop. Mono includes Gtk# a .NET binding for GTK+ and various GNOME libraries which together with C# and the System libraries provide developers with great productivity for building graphical applications especially when compared to GTK+ or Java Swing. Although we had plan to support Bonobo, we have not yet done any work on this area and it is no longer a high priority.

Yes, the Gtk# project provides bindings for Gtk+, Gdk, Atk, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, and libgnomeui. Other libraries under the GNOME framework will be added on an as-needed (and as-requested) basis.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Server all share the base (kernel, low level programme mes). This means you can install any of them on any other. GNOME is the default desktop for Ubuntu. It can also be installed with the ubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Ubuntu, please see Ubuntu on the desktop. KDE is the default desktop for Kubuntu. It can also be installed with the kubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Kubuntu, please see Kubuntu.

You will need at least Xorg 7.1. If you want to test RandR 1.2 you will need the most current Xorg development version to run it.

We have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding the real identity of The Metro Gnome. Sorry about that. But if word got out, he is SURE that he would be harrassed by paparazzi day and night. Best to keep it a secret and let him continue to dream about how popular and important he is. In the bigger scheme of things, it doesn't really matter who he is, just that he can hit deadlines (well, most of the time....) is opinionated, loves music, and can string a sentence together.

There is also a port of Dropline GNOME 2.14.1 desktop available, for download a bittorrent link is provided. Reinstall the nvidia drivers. 32x11 contains generic 32-bit OpenGL libraries, which overwrite the NVidia drivers.

A unique platform like Mono deserves a unique IDE like MonoDevelop that can take full advantage of the framework capabilities. Features like code completion, integrated unit testing, class browser, etc. would be much more difficult to implement for example in a C based IDE. The Mono platform also provides some features that are ideal for the development of an IDE.

When the project was started, the idea was to wrap the Gtk+ libraries with a set of C# classes. It quickly became apparent that the source parser and C# code generator could be used to wrap any GObject based API. Contributors started wrapping their favorite GNOME libraries. Mailing lists and a sourceforge project were already open under the gtk-sharp nomenclature and no compelling technical reasons for renaming presented themselves.

Yeah, use the configure option --enable-gnome. This enables the Gnome hints. In Fluxbox versions 0.1.12 and later this is the default. Simply link your ~/.blackboxrc to your ~/.fluxbox/init, for example with this command: $ ln -s ~/.fluxbox/init ~/.blackboxrc

This is usually caused by a bad -mcpu setting. For example, the AlphaServer 800 needs to be compiled with the ev5 flag for xorg and glibc. Failing to do so will cause undesired results.

From an old XFree86 (v3.x) installation's XF86Config file: XFree86 v3.x didn't have embedded default Modelines, so it depended on the Modeline collection shipped in XF86Config file. In contrast, XFree86 v4.x and Xorg have VESA default Modelines embedded, so they don't ship with a configuration file (XF86Config-4 or xorg.conf) with a rich set of Modeline collection. The bottom line is that some Modelines of the older XFree86 v3.x are missing in the newer versions.

GTK+ and GNOME provide some widgets and some desktop and application services. gtkmm and gnomemm wraps these for use in C++. But GNOME doesn't help the developer to put them all together to make an application. For instance, the developer still has to write code to warn the user when they have unsaved data, and to ask the user where to save that data.

KDE is easy to work with and has many useful features and well-integrated components such as the PIM package (Personal Information Manager). Additionally, KDE is probably easier for people that used Windows before, but this is rather a nice side-effect than a main reason for this choice.

This will convert all those gnome help xml files to html, so yelp doesn't have to do it every time you access help. Keep in mind, if you uninstall the package, those html files are still in /usr/share/gnome/help/PACKAGENAME/LOCALE and will have to be removed by hand. Also, you will want to rerun the command with new versions of the package. Debian does not use yelp-pregenerate for you during install and remove scripts, so you have to yourself. It is worth it though, the speedup is huge!

No. The iRecorder can operate independently, using cameras connected directly to the PC where the iRecorder is running. However, the use of Gnome does provide two key benefits: Images are retrieved from all of the cameras connected to Gnome, eliminating the need for a video capture card (see below).
