True. :)

Still, I hope the devs get smart and add a checkbox or something of that sort to the Appearance menu.

Yeah, that's the way I was thinking.

It's really easier to just paste a line into Terminal. (Good thinking though)

It's really more of a pain to go that route than to paste in a line of code unfortunately. (If it's the way I'm thinking, that is.)

I don't think anyone here is disillusioned with Ubuntu... :rolleyes:

...just a little frustrated that the art team pulled this change in a late alpha just before the UI freeze. Ubuntu Tweak...

Good point.

There may not be much use to having multiple Linux OS's but it certainly is fun, and it allows you to see what you like/dislike in each.

And this is the fundamental problem with which Linux has been plagued.

If it is to be adopted by the masses, the user needs a graphical means for customization built in to the OS itself.

This...

I don't give a crud what MS and Apple think!

Linux is meant to be customizable by the user. A key reason users switch to Linux is to get away from the restrictions of MS and Apple.

It's a key option for users. So absolutely I want it to be.

Something this basic should not require users to download Ubuntu-Tweak.

That's true, you can do that too. :)

That's great - but it needs to be built in to the OS.

If we went with iWork style icons, we would need a different icon for each file type - as these icons show .doc, .docx, .odt, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, etc.

Merk42's icons are simple, true, and...

Thanks, Appier. :)

Hopefully it helps someone.

I just think the button change was an idiotic move by the art team. We've been used to the right-side buttons for years - and then they switch it...

DarinB,

It's possible there was a bug in kernel version 2.6.31.14 that was causing your crashes. It's also possible that this bug has been fixed in later versions.

Personally, I would try to...

For now, here's how to change the maximize, minimize, close buttons to the right hand side:


gconftool-2 --set “/apps/metacity/general/button_layout” --type string “:maximize,minimize,close”

...

For the time being, here's how to change the buttons back to where they should be:


gconftool-2 --set “/apps/metacity/general/button_layout” --type string “:maximize,minimize,close”

...

This is the kind of thing we need!

Here's the problem though: The average user won't have a clue how to do this - and they should not have to do so in order to change such a simple setting.

This should be a graphical option in the...

I like your icons, Merk42. They look great :D

Even if these don't make it into the release, I'll still use them :cool:

I love the new branding, logos, wallpapers, etc...

I HATE having the WM buttons on the left side of the window. That's such a horrible change. :confused:

I understand many people like the...

Yeah it's pretty normal for Ubuntu to have a few hundred updates at a time. I'm just glad that Ubuntu is actually maintained on a daily basis - unlike Windows...which has security holes that stay...

Cool. That makes sense. Thanks. :D

Hey folks...

I see the Nvidia Driver version 180 is available in the repositories. I have version 177 installed and active, but how can I activate the 180 driver?

The Hardware Drivers dialog...

No I have not. I will try that now.

I left most of the settings at the default - except I gave Ubuntu 2 gigs of ram and the guest os'es 1 gig and split my video ram between the host and the guest....
