I don't really want to mark this solved with this rather ugly hack. Can anyone suggest a more elegant solution?
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...
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...
Hi folks
I'm running "Classic" Natty.
My keyring is unlocked by default. How can I switch off requiring a password for things like installing updates?
IIRC in Hardy I did this through...
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.
Recently (as in the last week) when I rsync between...
No, that doesn't fix anything.
As I have implied, all the noise is a change in behaviour with the same command line.
I regularly use rsync to transfer projects between two machines.
Recently (as in the last couple of days) when I rsync between two fully updated Hardy systems I get a heap of junk dumped to my...
[Some quick exp: The media I was using were same brand, same packaging, but different. Different in the sense that on the printed covers one set was (c) 2004, and the other was (c) 2007, or...

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,...
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.

Yar, I found that and installed the Australian add-on. But after restarting everything, with the add-on apparently installed happily enough, Firefox is still telling me I'm spelling colour wrong. ...
Hi folks
How can I change the dictionary that firefox uses for its spell check? I'm sick of being told I can't spell colour properly...
On my Gutsy box I have added some backup scripts to /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.weekly. These scripts are pretty-much identical, just backing up different things. Output from the script in...
(I'm a tad embarrassed that I have to ask this. :oops: Let me just slip my n00b hat on...)
I'm trying to open up a vpn connection to work from my pppoe-ed Hardy box. For this I apparently need...
What ever happened to that old law of GUI design: Always Give The User Feedback?
I'm not sure who to blame for this, but this principle has been forgotten by whoever put together my desktop...
I only have one monitor. And now it's behaving erratically: sometimes my desktop IS restored to my previously saved setup. The next login... windows all 80x24, top left. :(

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.
Since installing Hardy the session save feature only partially works.
It remembers all my windows and which desktop they are on. The cwd of the terminals are remembered. However, the position...
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.
If this is such a huge issue for you, why don't you compress then tar?
Personally, I'd be mortified if tar went the way of the dodo. The lack of strange metadata structures is its power. ...
WTF??? :shock:
What ON EARTH does the guys nationality have to do with his opinions about software???? I'm Australian, living in Sweden. Does that mean you should listen to me, or ignore me???

Is it only me that thinks its somewhat ironic that they guy complaining about a personality cult has big bold political affiliations in his sig?
