    When compiling many apps on lucid, configure bombs when glib-compile-schemas is not found. (I say many because of all the google hits on people asking about this error.) It seems that...

    [ubuntu] Re: Passwordless updates?

    OK, while I haven't quite got what I was after, the above has reminded me how to do a workaround.

    I've simply edited the relevant main menu entries to call the particular config apps I'm...

    [ubuntu] Re: Passwordless updates?

    Krytarik, I have passwordless sudo already (as one might guess from my OP!) ;)

    Is there any reason to suspect sudoers modification might work? Does gnome call sudo behind the scenes? (Certainly...

    [ubuntu] rsync has become noisy

    I'm reposing this from General Help, where it has become lost in the noise.

    I regularly use rsync to transfer projects between two machines.

    [ubuntu] Re: rsync has become noisy

    No, that doesn't fix anything.

    As I have implied, all the noise is a change in behaviour with the same command line.

    [ubuntu] Brasero DVD burning speed too high

    I use a HP LightScribe to burn DL DVDs (under Hardy).

    Up until ~a month ago, brasero gave me only one speed option, 2.4x. Which was good, as the media I'm using is rated at that.

    Now, however,...

    [ubuntu] Re: Firefox spelling language

    OK, I worked it out. Right click on an input box, select dictionary.

    I'm really surprised there's no option for this in the Preferences. Needing to use the context menu is really non-intuitive.

    [ubuntu] Re: Two GDM instances ??

    +1

    Fresh install, x86_64. Everything works fine. pstree (or looking at the ps output properly) shows they're spawning each other:
    ├─gdm───gdm─┬─Xorg───Xorg
    So I assume this is by design.

    I'm a fan of the old Mozilla Composer. No longer part of Firefox, you need the other fork for it (Icecat?). Doesn't do gee-wizzery, just plain simple HTML.
