Tried again, and same thing.

Booted into Mint, no problem with that file.

Booted into Windows, no problem with that file.

Installed #! on a second computer, same problem.

Installed #! on a THIRD computer, same problem! :(

I litterally can't even touch the file without Thunar locking up & crashing. If I draw a selection box in the window, it freezes as soon as it touches the file. If I go to the menu and select all, it freezes. Then after 10 seconds or so Thunar disappears and is fine when I re-open it (as long as I don't go near that file again).

The file is a 2.2GB unencrypted Blu-ray test video (m2ts). Nothing really unusual. And as I said, other Linux distros and Windows have no trouble with it.

So I know what you're thinking now. Must be a problem with sever access. After all there was that issue with installing nfs-common (had to force a lower version). I thought so too. Booted into Mint, mounted my #! home partition, copied the file to a local directory and rebooted into #!, and you know what happened...

Same damn thing!

So I installed pcman file manager, and pcmanfm has no trouble with that file. Copy, move, play, rename, whatever, it all works with pcmanfm.

So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunar, but I still have the same problem.

It's some freaky, obscure bug in Thunar!

And on a realted subject, what happened to thunar-dropbox. It got uninstalled with thunar, but could not get reinstalled because, according to synaptic it doesn't exist. I did a quick search here and found a thread with a dead link to a download, and a post by corenominal that said he put it inthe repos, but it's not there now. What's up with that?

And finally, anyone got a recommendation for a replacement file manager? Something lighter than Nautilus or Dolphin (don't want to bloat #! with a ton of dependancies). Pcmanfm is okay, but I'm liking it less than Thunar, so I want to try some others, but like everything Linux there are too many choices.

Thanks, Tim

Have just downloaded the latest image and used dd to create the USB image, but still no luck. The strange thing is I obviously managed to get this working from the USB key when I first installed Crunchbang on the laptop removing the previous Windows install which the makers had thoughtfully installed.

So my question is how do I get the installer to pickup the files on the USB key or on the USB CD ? Not too worried which version I install as will move to Wheezy as soon as anyway. The latest image reverting back to GDM suited me, so this is what I have been trying.

If the USB key or CD don't get mounted by the installer, how can I get at them ? Laptop is a Samsung 900X if that makes any odds.

Cheers

i've noticed a strange behavior in iceweasel: the fonts randomly get "punched out", parts of them are missing. there are no problems in conky, openbox, terminal and in thunar whatsoever.
i've tried to change the browser's default font to dejavu sans 16, and the allow sites to choose their font disabled. if i zoom in or out, different parts of the letters appear and disappear.

thoughts, anyone?

sample piccy:

edit: here's a shot of this topic

I use Debian testing in a netbook,all crunsified. I have implemented various scripts from pm-utils as well as the one suggested by hardran http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … or-debian/.

I am trying to monitor my current battery consumption in watts, but I dont see it anywhere in powertop. Does powertop report battery consumption?
I have calibrated powertop when I first used it.

If powertop does not offer this functionality, is there another application which does?

Thanks people

Perhaps the best way to implement this is for Corenominal to apply it to the slim package and make the new packages available in the repo?

I have PM'ed corenominal.

The Pentim 4 (Kernel 3.2) results below, do not respond to >> sudo cpufreq-set -c 0 -g ondemand

Just shows:  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.

I have been searching some related topics and getting nowhere - using driver: p4-clockmod "ondemand" is listed as available for the Pentium 4, but will not show as active after enabled?

Got any ideas?...

I tried text install, and got the following errors

Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(254,32)

and then nothing happens.

When I try to boot into the live environment or w/e I only get the first error and it still halts.

I downloaded pidgin and it seems to be working fine except when I add my facebook to it, It takes the facebook and says its connected and available but it does not show the facebook buddy list and every 45 seconds it says I disconnect and when i re-connect it, it says I am available again.

friends tell me that I am indeed online facebook through pidgin but I do not get their messages and I can not see my buddy list.

- I made sure the buddy list is available to viewing
-I got the plugins for xmpp (spelling?)

Any help to this situation will help greatly.

Thank you,

What can I do?

I'm running the pre -11/25/11 version of #! right now, and the wireless keyboard and mouse are giving me no problems.  Has anyone else run into this problem?  How was it solved? 

Thanks in advance,
