  1. Re: Ubuntu 20.04 all web-browsers keep crashing randomly

    Actually it does - you just have to enable it. Did that a long time ago without any issues so far:

  2. [ubuntu] Re: Installing Windows 10 in VirtualBox causes Ubuntu to freeze

    Yesterday I tested moving a Win10 VM from VMWare to qemu/kvm - using virt-manager. Using QXL for video with SPICE.

    Went surprisingly smooth, even before I installed guest-agent and virtio drivers...

    Re: End of Ubuntu Phone and Unity

    They are forking the wrong version of Unity. IMHO.

    Looking for fork of Unity7.

    Unity7 with the stupid global menu turned off looks nice, works fast (lenses could use some optimization - but...

    Too late - did that a week ago (I show there as Olaf(tholap) ). ;-)

    And it fixed a graphics glitch after screen dimming...
  7. Re: Problems running Ubuntu 17.04 Linux on ASUS G752VS Laptop

    What do you mean by "is better"?
    In general because newer = better - or specifically for G752?
    Could you give an example in what way is is better?

    Hi aljosa2,

    I'm in a very similar situation having just bought a G752VM (Nvidia 1060).

    You mentioned earlier that you run a live system. Does the above message mean that you have installed...

    [ubuntu] Re: Steam package is out of date

    That is neither quite correct nor new.

    Valve first released a Steam client for Ubuntu (it runs on many distros – but Ubuntu is the only "officially" supported distro).

    The 4 hour difference between UTC and US east cost ist correct (NYC is -5 from UTC, modified by 1 hour for DST).

    So the problem seems to be that your desktop shows UTC instead of your local time....

    Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Beta - =O

    You don't need to re-install.
    If you keep updating you'll get the same packages as any alpha or beta release.

    Same goes for final release.
    The only reason to re-install is to fix a seriously...

    [ubuntu] Re: Just report about Unity speed on x201

    I can confirm that.

    14.04 feels noticably snappier on my Aus F201E (2 GB version that came pre-installed with Ubuntu 12.04).

    Apart from a Bluetooth regression everything has been great after...
  14. [all variants] Re: Clarify difference between upgrading and re-installing?

    Probably nothing (but didn't check). The drivers get updated with your new kernel anyway and the filesystem laout doesn't change much after the initial design.

  15. [all variants] Re: Clarify difference between upgrading and re-installing?

    The reason that there is no clear consensus is because both sides are right.

    Both options involve trade-offs and have their own advantages and disadvantages.

    Re: Better ways to learn C++

    If you understand how to program you can pick up another language in a very short time.

    I have to disagree with the global menu being efficient.

    You got used to it and it works for you - great. No problem.

    Re: Stop Unity... Yes? No?

    You are not alone. Exactly my thoughts.
    I'm fine with Unity and it's global menu on Netbooks. Small screen - mostly only 1 app active and that one will be maximized.
