A quick result: I tried out change my wm from ratpoison to fluxbox. And it almost worked out. When I started up fluxbox, the tab bar is on the bottom of my screen now, left no black region. Still, when I started up application like konsole or chromium, it appears in 1366x768 resolution, but sinc

Thanks so much for your continuous reply! What you said was a little bit complicated to me, and I will spend some time to try each solution. As for konsole, I also noticed its huge size. My reason is simple and maybe stupid...because I found it's not straight forward to configure font and font

Hi, I also look into the files in /etc/grub.d/ There is a README file there that says something about the order of kernels, perhaps it helps. (I just change the 30_osprober) Bandarra On 07-11-2012 22:55, Lisi Reisz wrote: As I understand the GRUB manual, if I want to change the config file

As I understand the GRUB manual, if I want to change the config file, then i have to edit /etc/default/grub. I want to change the order of the kernels in GRUB, but I can't see any kernels at all in /etc/default/grub. (See below.) So how do I boot from the earlier kernel? I must have misundersto

Any Experimental users who can tell me what the kernel numbers mean in the Experimental repository? I see flaws in the kernels 3.4, and 3.5, and wonder if other people see them too, or if they even care to report problems because those kernels are, well, Experimental.
