    Re: Synaptic Package Manager will not load

    I got it funnier - same
    GLib-CRITICAL **: g_child_watch_add_full: assertion 'pid > 0' failed in terminal - but after that it still works and installs packages. So much for "CRITICAL**".

  2. [SOLVED] Re: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

    Yup, it's not even in plugins-bad.
    I just switched backend on Audio tab. The advantage of "gstreamer" mode is being the only one where Equalizer is available. If you don't need it -...

    Re: forum opinion -= wine =-

    It's generally not a good idea to rely on MS for security in the first place. From free suites there's still Comodo, for example. So nothing really changes even for those who use XP.

    Why and how?...

    [SOLVED] Re: ATI drivers gone!

    It's possible to run legacy FGLRX on 13.10 - but this requires some jumping through hoops. See "AMD Legacy drivers on 13.10" thread.

    [ubuntu] Re: booting from external usb3 drive

    One of problems with such setups is that "/dev/sda8" and possibly "hd0" are not fixed, and depending on a lot of things starting from BIOS and your drive's bells & whistles booting with inserted or...

    Re: AMD Legacy drivers on 13.10

    An obvious typo: it should be " --adapter=all" - to configure for all cards rather than current only (usually this doesn't matter, but it's a very generic instruction).

    Re: AMD Legacy drivers on 13.10

    And now, another version. :D
    I did as #9 suggests. Reboot, it works. VTs work normally, even XFWM4 screen compositing works (I use gdm, in case you have problems at this point). But soft actually...

    Re: Alternatives to Unity/Gnome-shell/KDE?

    It's more like "Mac fanboys, Mac fanboys everywhere!" - especially since Unity piled up features that don't even make sense together.

    [xfce] Re: Moving to XFCE from GNOME

    Does not work for me: Nautilus still paints over the screen unless launched with --no-desktop, but setting arguments in "preferred applications" changes nothing.

    Re: Canonical's Usability Testing of Unity

    At last, actually used it, on LiveCD (well, flash).

    The scrollbar that's auto-hiding to save space AND small when it's not saving space... how to put it... just doesn't look like a quite lucid thought.
