Most likely, you just need to find and install libdvdcss2.

I have no idea, then. My r8169 chip worked perfectly with 12.04's kernel.
Maybe try a different ethernet cable or a different port from the switch. Beyond that, I have no idea.
Good luck.
Tim
If you are talking about driver r8169, what Linux kernel version are you running? I used to have tons of problems with that driver, but everything seems to be fine since Linux 3.1.6 or so.

I used Arch Linux for a long time. In general, I liked it very much, but I finally gave up on it a couple of months ago for several reasons.
I couldn't get it to handle my multi-device btrfs...

Yes, that's what I hear.

Yep. With all other distros I've used I felt like a hamster running on one of those circular wheels just trying to keep up with all the changes and foul-ups caused by the changes. Debian is so stable...

In my opinion, yes, PPA's can cause serious conflicts. I found this out when I kept experimenting with the Gnome 3 PPA's for Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04. YMMV, but when you install a PPA, you are straying...
I selected "I feel strongly about OSS, but willing to compromise". I wish I could run a completely FOSS system, but my hardware requires a few non-free drivers. I refuse to run proprietary...
I agree. I gave up on Arch and switched to Debian sid (Siduction Linux, actually) because of systemd. If Debian gets to the point of requiring systemd, I will find something else.

You are welcome.
Also note that, exporting the image to another filetype and saving it, GIMP does not consider the "original" file to be saved. So, when you close the image, it will ask if you...
It seems the procedure has changed in the latest releases. Now, you need to click the File menu, then select Export. I too liked it better the old way.
Tim
Interesting. Here is what it says:
cat /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache | grep pdf
application/pdf=gimp.desktop;gimp.desktop;evince.desktop;
application/x-bzpdf=evince.desktop;...
This is a good thread. I have a similar problem, except it is Libre Office that has taken over my PDF's. I'll try the suggestions and see if any of them work.

I really like Sabayon. It is clean, solid, and leading edge. Until a few weeks ago, I had four distros on my PC. Then I cleaned them all off to re-do my disk drive configuration and decided to only...
Thanks. That was the way I was leaning, too.

Mouses (or is it mice?) are things for which I actually still prefer the Microsoft brand.

I also made a serious attempt at running Gentoo a month or so ago. I got it installed and plugged away at maintaining it for a couple of weeks. I agree with KiwiNZ, it is just too much trouble. I...
I never noticed Sabayon being KDE-centric and I never used it with KDE. I tried it with Fluxbox, Gnome 3, and LXDE, settling on LXDE. I also loved the rolling release aspect of it.
Tim
That is such a comforting thought.

I don't want to derail this thread, but briefly: It is very light. I gets the latest kernels on the day they are officially released. It is the only distro I was using that handled my multi-volume...
Halloween FTW! It's been my favorite holiday since I was a little kid. I'm 61, now.
