  1. Re: Youtube flash ads no longer blocked in Chromium

    Thank you all for your help.

    Pepperflash: Interesting. I have to admit I haven't heard of this before. Maybe it's only bundled with Chrome (as opposed to Chromium), because my Flash plugin...
  2. Youtube flash ads no longer blocked in Chromium

    I'm using Chromium 32.0.1700 on Kubuntu 13.10 with the Adblock Plus extension. Up until about a week ago, all ads on Youtube were reliably hidden, but for some reason that doesn't work anymore. All...
  3. [SOLVED] Re: krunner (Alt+F2) does not see my $PATH after upgrade to 12.10

    For the record, this question was answered on the KDE forums.
    Summary: put a .sh file with the necessary paths in ~/.kde/env.
  4. [SOLVED] krunner (Alt+F2) does not see my $PATH after upgrade to 12.10

    I just upgraded from Kubuntu 12.04 (LTS) to 12.10.

    Before the upgrade, krunner would recognize a custom $PATH set in .bashrc, but this seems to work differently now.

    In my .bashrc, I adjust the...

    Re: HOWTO: Remove Older Kernels via GUI

    I don't like waking up an old thread, but this came up as the top result for "ubuntu remove old kernels" in Google.

    This is in reply to the rmkernel function posted by slakkie (post #2):

    I was...
  6. [kubuntu] 228 new updates since yesterday in Precise?

    Just making sure this isn't a glitch...

    I'm running 12.04 (Precise) and was up-to-date yesterday. Today, there are 228 new updates. Looks like most of the KDE packages, and then some, including...
  7. Re: Stop Apper from showing upgrade notice every 5 minutes?

    Meh. I still get the notifications, but now they've switched to a 30 minute interval.
    Guess I can live with that until I upgrade.
  8. Re: Stop Apper from showing upgrade notice every 5 minutes?

    I don't seem to have System > Update Manager, but your mention of Muon put me on the right track. Now let's see if if works...

    (five minutes later)

    Looks like it did. Thanks a lot!
  9. Stop Apper from showing upgrade notice every 5 minutes?

    Dear Apper,

    thank you for informing me that an upgrade to Precise is now available. I already knew that, but thanks for telling me anyway. Five minutes later you reminded me again, which is very...
  10. [kubuntu] Re: Why is my box advertising Remote Disk Management?

    The "Disk Utility" tool is Gnome only; udisks itself is independent of the desktop environment.

    (I only mentioned [kubuntu] because this forum requires me to select a distro variant as part of the...
  11. [kubuntu] Re: Why is my box advertising Remote Disk Management?

    Just as a quick follow-up for the record: I have removed the config file from /etc/avahi/services in the meantime, and the Remote Disk Management results are gone. I haven't noticed any ill effects,...
  12. [kubuntu] "aptitude search" shows packages as not installed

    I'm having trouble with aptitude: both the "firefox" and "php-apc" packages are installed, but don't show up as such in a package search via aptitude:



    $ aptitude show firefox | grep State...

  15. [kubuntu] Uneven fonts sizes in some non-Qt applications

    I have a relatively fresh install of Kubuntu 11.04 here. Generally everything looks very nice (even without the desktop effects, which I had to turn off for now), but I noticed that some applications...

    [ubuntu] Re: Odd rkhunter reports

    I just did that ("sulogin" and "last" are both in the sysvinit-utils package). After reinstalling the package, the hashes are still the same as the "current" ones reported by rkhunter (BTW, they are...

    [ubuntu] Re: Odd rkhunter reports

    For what it's worth, I've received the same warnings about last and sulogin, with the same hash values and mtimes:



    Not ldd, though.

    I think these are normal replacements caused by an...

    [kubuntu] Re: Konsole color scheme, Vim

    That's interesting, I didn't know about the 256 color mode. The session tab was there in KDE 3.5, but I don't see it in 4.2 either. The folks over at the KDE forums probably know more about this. If...

    [kubuntu] Re: Konsole color scheme, Vim

    Which part isn't working? The colors will never look the same in Konsole and in gVim, because the terminal only has limited color support. You can only choose from the existing colors, which in your...
  20. [all variants] Re: Settings in sysctl.conf not set after boot

    Yes, that works.



    Yeah, you're right. I just tried it out: sysctl.conf symlinked to a location on the root partition works, so it can't be the symlink alone. I'm not very familiar with the boot...
  21. [all variants] Re: Has anyone managed dual boot with dm-crypt-Ubuntu and Truecrypt-Windows?

    Just for the record, even with multiple GB of RAM, swap partitions do have their place. For example, when you're running a database like PostgreSQL, it's recommended to set the kernel's...

    Hi.

    I have the following custom settings in my /etc/sysctl.conf:

    vm.overcommit_memory = 2
