Just tried Fedora for the first time and the font is definitely too small. That aside I feel surprisingly at home, though.

By the way, I'm getting the old style nm-applet, which doesn't fit gnome-shell at all. I take it some of you guys got the new one? How can I do that? I seem to have the latest version in the PPA.

Aaaaaalright, so no Flash for us Epiphany users :-(

Since I guess you're using Epiphany, are you having a problem where flas content isn't shown in Epiphany whereas it's shown in Firefox? Is there a specific package you have to install?

One thing I noticed is that GTK2 apps have their old look, different to those that have been updated to GTK3. You would think they would try to make all apps look the same, shouldn't they?

I just realised I'm still getting Ubuntu's notifications. How did you disable that?

Absolutely! Now the only problem is that the wallpaper looks all scrambled until I change it, but that's nothing I can't fix.

I guess now that I can actually start a session, I can use the...

Nope, no desktop at all.



Just did, but it said everything was already up to date. Is there a way that you can ctrl+alt+f1 and tell the system to launch gnome-shell replace in display 0, so I...

That's the funny part... it won't even let me start a classic session. I get a pop-up telling me "failed to load session classic-gnome", and only offers me to "close session".

I followed this message as a checklist in order to get a working shell, but when I log in I only get the blue wallpaper and nothing else. There's no shell, no nothing. Right clicks do nothing. When...

I managed to boot and log in by following the instructions in the bug report, and then installing the packages gnome-shell and ubuntu-desktop; but I get an empty blue screen. Are there any additional...

I didn't even know Wayland existed until now. Could someone explain the benefits to the end user, as well as the risks it could bring?

Thanks guys, that's what I thought she would have to do. I still think it can be confusing for a total newbie, but what can you do...

Hi,

I was introducing Ubuntu to a coworker today, after a lot of complaining about viruses on her part and a few hints on mine. I used a live CD on one of our computers, and guided her through the...

This post seems to say otherwise!

Oh! I also wanted to suggest a couple things about the interface:

-when you hover the cursor over a button, it looks concave instead of convex, and that detracts from the impression of it being a...

Also, thibauld: do you think that the featured applications slideshow could stop if you hover the cursor over it? It's quite difficult to read the description and click the install button, the app...

Up to yesterday I would have voted for the second option, "it can be useful to some people". Today, since it supports install lists, I've changed to the first: "definitely, I'll be using it myself"....

Well that's curious, I teach English and Spanish learners have lots of trouble with English for exactly the opposite reason: they say English natives just "eat out" whole syllables. Beautiful as I...

Not to me. I'm Spanish, which has a syllable-timed rhythm. So stress-based languages like English sound rather musical to me, they sound pretty beautiful actually.

Just out of curiosity: I've been...

Other random ideas would be:

-Search gnomefiles in order to fill necessary data automatically.
-Uninstall installed dependencies automatically once the package is created, to keep the system...

Once you click "generate", there could be a progress dialogue:

In case of missing a dependency, giftwrap would ask for permission to...

Hi Vadi,

I learnt about Giftwrap this morning and have been thinking about it. I love the idea and would like to propose a simpler interface, since wizard types were never my thing:

Curiously, I live in the same country as Kosimo and I can still listen to it for free. Didn't get the mail either.

I think Stuffkeeper might suit your needs:
