Saucy?? Really??? Even "slippery" would have been better. :)))

Re: Things You Do After Installing Ubuntu 12.10 ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog

symbianfreak — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:56:38 -0000

Upgraded to 12.10 (keeping the Gnome Classic since I don't quite like Unity), re-enabled disabled but still compatible PPAs using YPPA Manager (big THANKS to Andrew for that one :P) and moved the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons BACK to the freaking RIGHT side by using this command:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'

In theory, this command should work without sudo (it worked for me anyways). If not, you can also give it a try by adding sudo in front of it.

Are you sure it's not Naughty Narwhal? Cause that would be a little better. I don't like that name. And about O O, I hope it will be Orgasmic Owl. At least it's damn funny.

Re: Ubuntu (w/ GNOME) Switching To Single Click For Opening Files And Folders? ~ Web Upd8

symbianfreak — Sat, 15 May 2010 11:10:55 -0000

well... I think it's a really dumb idea. How on Earth will you be able to just select a file/folder without opening it?? Or maybe you click the f**king file accidentally! Would it be ok to have a window popping up right in your face in the most non requested moment??

Re: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx Release Candidate Is Out ~ Web Upd8

bugs in the new RC version of Lucid:
1. there is no possibility to format partitions before installing the OS. the checkbox in the manual partition configuration cannot be checked/clicked. if you if you just delete the partitions and click next after you reallocated the space for swap, root, home, it will ask if you want to format partitions, which would be ok if it would actually format those partitions. but after one of these "clean" installs, I found myself using a combination between the beta 2 and RC meaning I had the old desktop wallpaper (and not the default one but the one I set before the reinstallation) , all the files and folders on the desktop and so on... I had to format partitions from Windows and then finally make a clean install of Ubuntu.

2. mplayer crashes when you try to adjust volume of a video from the video frame (pretty random bug) or slows down rapidly if you're playing mkv videos (this could be a video driver problem though)

nice one. It was very useful to me when installing Karmic. Thank you for adding the Lucid support too. :) And...about the ATI drivers thing... just try to enable the effects. Mine worked great without installing anything. :)

symbianfreak — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:21:55 -0000

well, yeah, there are some pretty nasty upgrades in the Update Manager. I gave up upgrading after I encountered the same problem (no panels). The only thing was to install Lucid Beta 1 and make an update, upgrade and restart. Never had the opportunity to see those panels again. I had to do a clean install again and never upgrade again (at least not until the following beta/RC/final verion).

yeah... seems that my ATI graphics card was already supported without installing any driver.:D i found a very interesting thing though: if xsplash is no longer used in Lucid, why the heck is the xsplash folder still present in the usr/share/images/xsplash location? also, it contains the login screen images and animation from Karmic.

Re: Mark Shuttleworth: "This is not a democracy" ~ Web Upd8

symbianfreak — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:32:03 -0000

Guys, people created machines and softwares to fill their needs not the other way around. We created softwares, not the softwares created us, so why should we get used to it? I agree with Mark on a single point: each department has its own business to take care of, BUT a good idea can come form ANYONE outside those departments.
So dear Mark, if people want those damn buttons on the right, put them on the right otherwise they will put them there themselves anyway. You're not making this software for yourself only! At least, ask for people's opinion! DON'T act like you're the Sun and all planets should revolve around you! You're there because of the people who liked your work. If there was no one to use your software, you would have been able to do whatever you would like with it since you're the only user. But in this case, you're not! So, at least, ASK before you ACT!

yeah...I tried the icons on the left and I couldn't stand it for more than a minute. then I used Gabo's command line to put them back where they belong. Thx, Andrew and Gabo! :)

symbianfreak — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:41:06 -0000

Thank you a lot! I've successfully installed both themes at work and at home on Karmic and they work great. The "icons" bug solved by itself when I logged out and back in (they auto-arranged themselves). I can't wait for Ubuntu Lucid to come out.:) And, by the way, Andrew, I don't know what the hell did you eat today but the new banner WebUpd8 looks really cool! :)
