I'm having trouble with this too. May want to try liferea until this gets fixed (if ever). It's a native gtk app and works well.

No need to do this, you're not using windows. Just restart you X session.

gcursor is not a very good program. All it really does is give you a link to the theme directory. You can easily change your cursor in the appearance preferences (once it's been copied to ).

he doesn't have a virus. you may want to add the system monitor gnome applet to try and diagnose the slowness. See if the cpu is spiking or if memory is running out.

As far as upgrading, I would...

The quirks in gnome panel are annoying, but working around them isn't to difficult. It's frustrating because fixing the panels seems like a pretty simple task (relative to ongoing gnome development).

Just a personal preference of mine... If you are installing a precompiled binary (like song bird), I like to copy it to /opt. That way it's very easy for me to see what non-repo apps I have...

Gnome panel does have issues with shifting content. The problem is mostly a result of some gnome panel applets that dynamically take up extra space. When you have everything locked the panel does...

Thanks for the howto. Works well with my Google Apps account.

You need to restart your gnome session for the applet to show in the panel. If you just aren't seeing the applet when you try to add it you're going to have to give us some more info. When you...

I just had to reply to this howto as some of the comments here are asinine. First off, Pay, thanks for the effort. This is actually pretty useful. I forgot how to create debs from source so it was...

I guess you're not running ubuntu. I think there were only 3 or so dependencies when I installed it.

Ephphany is pretty featureless, but I do like the search/address bar (i'm sure this came...

Just curious if people use it over firefox. I started using it primarily on my netbook because it works with Gnome Global Menu and firefox doesn't. I usually use Opera for casual browsing but it's...

I'm going to try and get skype working for me tomorrow. Can't do it tonight, don't want to wake my wife up:p When I get it working i'll report back.

If you are still having audio issues follow...

The mic works perfectly fine for me. I don't have it working with skype yet because skype defaults to the mic port, not the actual internal mic. I'm sure I just have to do a pulse audio change to...

I'm not sure exactly who the developers are for this project, but you guys are doing a fantastic job. This project makes gnome that much better.

Thanks for the effort, it's very much appreciated!...

The step by step seems to be broken. I get warnings that Vala 0.5.2 was used for the global menu and that 0.5.1 may have issues. I still tried to make global menu and I get the following error:...

Not a problem. I'm in a pissy mood today, don't mind me.

ok, i'll post a screenshot of the windows xp install i just did for my grandma, I'm sure people will find that interesting. If you want to talk about getting osx on your netbook there are better...

It's very easy, I wouldn't be too impressed. I'm not sure the point of posting a stock osx leopard screenshot is... This thread is for linux/ubuntu screenshots.

This is a shot from my netbook.

Gnome with no bottom panel or dock. It's purely [alt] [tab] and custom key driven.

That's positively not true. Ballmer has a loud mouth, he is a moron sometimes, but the corporate enterprise listens to him. His tactics have had an effect.


I agree 100%. The patent system...

I used the term 'IP'. It's about ambiguous as you can get.

This is what MS has stated: "In addition, Microsoft promised not to assert patents against developers being paid to create code for...

You're really nit-picking here, you obviously knew what I meant. We're on opposite side of this argument that's been rehashed a brazilian times so this is probably not the best place to continue it....

What you say is great and all, but the novell/microsoft IP agreement is the problem here. I agree that developers should use the best tools for the job, but not at the expense of the community.
