How to install a DE or WM after install?

I installed Arch, but didnt pick any other packages, other than the default ones, so im stuck with just a command line now when i boot up the system.
What can i do to install a desktop environment like LXDE or XFCE?
Thanks so much!

join the irc channel then
its the #archlinux on freenode
you can use weechat irc client for example (its in the repo)
for xfce you got to do
pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies
you may want to install the 'menumaker' package too
pacman -Ss xfce would give you THE list.
you can see all informations here

How to use Time Machine before and after installing a new hard drive

So basically I'm buying a new hard drive for my Macbook pro and I have a lot of files on my computer that I would like to save. I have never used Time Machine before so I need help on how to set it up before AND after installing the harddrive so my files get transferred onto the new hard drive. Thanks in advance

Me, I would never use Time Machine to do this. What I'd suggest you do is get an exterior enclosure for your new drive. Then use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your existing drive to your new drive. Once done, verify your clone is bootable & all of your data present. Then swap drives & use your old drive for Time Machine backups(after erasing it). Then get another drive & exterior enclosure to regularly clone your new drive to.
Unless he was swapping for a lower capacity HDD or to a lower capacity SSD, then the old drive would make a lousy Time Machine disk. However, whenever I swap out a disk I do exactly what you do. CCC to get the ol drive onto a new one. Test by starting up to the new (but still external drive). Then replace the internal drive.
I usually just sell the old drive on eBay. My Time Machine backup is always 2X the size of the internal drive, which I believe is a bit above recommendations, but works for me. The price of large external drives is almost the same as smaller internal ones.

I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.

Installed and used Gravity (once after installing-...

Installed and used Gravity (once after installing-) but not able to find in menu/prog. manager?
Ovi Store says it is installed but now nowhere to be found on the 5230.
Help please - this is a really cool app. that I am keen to keep using.

As Chanchan says viruses don't affect S^3 phones , so if you had one , you wouldn't need to worry ! Fortunately they don't affect S60 5th edition phones either If you purchased Gravity you will have a licence attached to your phones imei numberand so can download and re-install again free of charge, as the licence will be recognised by the application, which should appear in the applications folder on your phone, or in one of the folders in there, the latest version of Gravity is available here

How can I return back to OSx after installing Lion?

I'm disappointed. After installing Lion, everything is slower. The best thing I had last year was my new MacBook Pro, because everything was fast.. (sleep, opening programs, multitasking...etc) Now, everything takes forever. How can I return back to OSx?

Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

How to update to iOS 5.1 after installing iOS 5.1 beta 3

I had previously updated to 5.1 beta 3 since I was not able to receieve any signals at all, hence make any calls or send texts. After installing 5.1 beta 3 it was fixed but a day ago i had a gray screen and it said:
"We're unable to complete your activation. This device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program.
If you are a member of the Program, please register your device in the iPhone Developer Program Portal"

Watch your words kid.. Life is tough ahead and with this ****** attitude your going down the drain so quick your head would spin.

How many of you trashed Boot Camp after installing it?

The challenge is over. After installing and playing with windows on a Mac, I'm going to get rid of it. I feel like I'm at work when using it. Good god windows is ugly and uninviting. And that sound, that familiar windows is booting sound is enough to make me barf. The main problem is dual booting, maybe I'll try Parallels desktop when it becomes available. BTW, anybody know how to properly uninstall Boot Camp?

Actually it's working fine for me. Since I'm in a long transition process of going from Windows to Mac this is the perfect solution for me - one computer instead of two. Half the cost the way I see it. The only problem I ever had was with the Mac keyboard uninstalling itself on the Windows side intermittently - sometimes once an hour and sometimes every couple of minutes. Turns out it is a Mac issue either with the USB ports on the iMac or the keyboard itself not having enough power. Two solutions: 1) use a Windows keyboard, or 2) use an AC powered USB hub and plug the Mac keyboard into it.
Cheers!

How do i open Adobe Premiere Pro after installing it?

I just downloaded and installed this program and I can not open it. It is not showing up on my desktop as an icon and it is not in the folder that i saved it in. I also have run a full search of the computer and it says that it has been installed but i still can not find the folder it is in so i can open it. I have searched on the help section and have not found anything on this topic. HELP!!!

After installing, the appropriate files will be installed in Program Files\Adobe (Win) or Application/Adobe/ (Mac). Could you check the following folders to see if the files are there.
Also did the installer report any errors?
See http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2012/05/download-install-a-cs6-trial/ for a walk through for what a typical download/install experience looks like, so that you can be sure that you followed the complete process.

In German:
Weiß jemand wo und wie ich die Seriennr. in
Flash8/Studio8 nachträglich ändern kann.
Ich habe eine zweite Verison von Studio 8 erworben und
möchte diese jetzt sammt neuer Seriennr. auf meinem Rechner
nutzen.
Das Problem:
Selbst wenn man das alte Studio 8 deinstalliert, bleibt die

Ich vermute sie hängt irgendwo in der Registry.

Can i install mac osx back again after installing windows 7 on my mac book a1181?

i have apple mac book a1181 white, but i had problem logging on as it was secured by a password, and i allready lost my recovery dvd, so i installed windows 7 on my mac book a1181 by deleting its partition from GTP to NTFS but i experienced problems after installing windows 7 as sound was not comming as i could not find sound drivers for macintosh, so now i plan again to restore my apple macbook a1181 back by reinstalling mac osx 10.5.8, how can i again install mac osx on my notebook and is it possible to re-install mac on my notebook? please give me some help.

Insert your OS X install disc and restart holding the C key, hold it down until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Choose your language and at the next screen from the top menu bar select Utilities-Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive, click on the Partition tab and select 1 partition. Click on the Options button and select GUID partition scheme. Click OK. Choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When Disk Utility is done and your drive is properly partitioned and formatted quit DU and go back to the installer screen and reinstall OS X. When you're up and running run software update a couple times to get everything up to date as far as you can with 10.5.8. Then consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Clean install vs. time machine recovery after installing new HDD

Hello All,
I have got actually two questions, but I think I only can do one issue at the time. Anyway: Here are my specs and question:
1. I have got a 2010 MacBook Pro with a 320 Gb HDD which seems to be on its way to lala land (crashes almost once every quarter year)
2. I have backed up my Mac with TimeMachine to uptodate
3. I have created a boot disk and purchased a new 1 Tb HDD to be installed
4. I plan to install new HDD in a bit
So here is the question:
Shall I make a clean install of Mavericks (and if so, how do I get all my e-mail and other data onto the new HDD), or should I just go with the latest TimeMachine update?
(Also: If I partitioned the HDD and designate one only for apps and the other only for data, how would I do that?)
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. ... thanks, theo

Thank you for your swift responce and help
So this solution would remove the "clutter" and restore performace?
