  1. [xubuntu] Re: LVM2 commands can't find libreadline.so.5 and fail!

    Well - that was quick. I think I found an answer here:

    This answer indicates that libreadline6, 7, etc, are just later versions of the library. I reversed the link creation, making a link to the...

    Re: KVM - frustrated, now asking for help - can't create VM

    Ok! That works. Instead of creating a symlink, I used the VM interface as you suggested, and created a new storage space. It appears to me that I COULD have used the raw disk by letting Virt Manager...

    Re: KVM - frustrated, now asking for help - can't create VM

    @thefu: You've added info to sylvermane's answer - good info. TY. I may use the symlink technique - as the /var default location is likely one of the roadblocks for me.

    TY!

    KVM, can't create VM

    I've been trying to create a VM. ANY VM. But 1st case is WinXP.

    Virt-manager doesn't like the space I give it - and won't create a vm.

    Back story. I read some before getting into this. Ppl...

    Re: CryptKeeper error?

    Not sure how much help I can be, but I'll give it a shot, since nobody else has.

    I really like cryptkeeper, btw. It is reliable, and does what it is supposed to do. Normally.

    Re: Are Password Managers Really Worth It?

    I'll add this voice to the crowd: yes, they are worth it. Far more secure with one than without, unless you have a photographic memory. KeePass and K-P-X seem good to me - reliable. But I use another...

    Re: Why all the Gnome Shell Hate?

    Why is Gnome3 and the Gnome shell a pita for most former Gnome users? Because they took something that wasn't broke, and they, ahem, "fixed it"....

    I'd like also to propose some changes to Unity.

    1. Make it possible to CHOOSE which "lens" is default.
    2. Give us a "lens" that will reasonably approximate the Gnome2/xfce/Windows/kde menuing...

    Have you heard of Samba doing this? I didn't find any reference to it - I found lots of reference to error 111, connection refused, but that is a completely different animal.
