  1. [xubuntu] Re: xfce spin buttons not incrementing correctly

    Yeah, I just looked up the name in GTK docs ... I didn't know they were called 'spin buttons'

    I did a reinstall and everything is working fine now. I had just installed the system a few weeks...
  2. [xubuntu] Re: xfce spin buttons not incrementing correctly

    I attached a picture of one as an example.

    There's also an example the Screenshot app, that sets the "seconds." When it works correctly, you can either input a number, or click the up/down...
  3. [xubuntu] Re: xfce spin buttons not incrementing correctly

    Based on no one else seeing this problem, it's safe to say something in my install is probably just corrupt ... it's not a widespread bug. I'll try reinstalling or using another partition to install.
  4. [xubuntu] xfce spin buttons not incrementing correctly

    I'm seeing a strange issue in xubuntu 14.04. The spin buttons do not correctly increment a value when you click the buttons. For example instead of adding or subtracting 1, the value jumps between...

    [ubuntu] Re: HP LaserJet Professional P1102w

    Hmm, it doesn't look like anything is wrong on your end then. It *should* just download from the internet. It just worked automatically when I ran it. If your local internet connection is good, I...

    My instructions were not totally clear on a point... you can't access the internet while connected directly to the printer. You'll need to connect back to your wireless router, to pull down the...

    I finally got around to setting a wireless connection rather than over USB, since I just got a new wireless router. :) Here are the steps I used to set up WPA (AES):

    Re: HowTo: Create a background slideshow.

    Glad it worked. Also, on linux you can always route the output of a command to a file using a ">" like:

    command > file.xml

    Re: HowTo: Create a background slideshow.

    If you are pasting it in a file, be sure the #! line is at the very beginning of the file, no whitespace before it.

    You'll need to right click on the file, go to Properties and then Permissions. ...

    Re: Origami install fails, not sure why.

    Hmm ... I'm not sure why origami is not starting up for me.

    Although I just installed manually from Standford's site and got it working. I used version 6.02, rather than 6.29 though. The latest...

    Re: Origami install fails, not sure why.

    I just installed and am seeing the same message. My first thought is either:

    1. their network is having a temporary issue (maybe the service is down). This might fix itself. or

    2. my network...

    [ubuntu] Re: HP LaserJet Professional P1102w

    On mine, I had to set up printer sharing (on the client end) to see it in the list of available printers. Though mine is set up a little differently.

    Re: Emacs vs Vi

    If they used k and j for scrolling, how would one type the letters k and j? vi can reuse the letters k and j for both input and navigation, since it's based more on modes, rather than using...

    Re: HowTo: Create a background slideshow.

    Overall, I just had too many images, so wrote a bash loop to output the xml. The script just does a "find" on the directory, and pipes the output into a while read loop. Then, it adds each file in...

    Re: HowTo: Create a background slideshow.

    Thanks for the explanation, this quick bash script should output the xml. Change "/path/to/directory/" to point to your directory with the images (and the slide times if needed).

    Does that require an open wi-fi access point? My wireless router is set up with WPA, and I didn't see a way to configure this in the printer.

    Re: Emacs vs Vi

    I'd recommend vim instead of the classic vi. You get more features like column-wise editing. That's a separate install package and will replace vi.

    Perl might be easier for this, IMO. It's got regular expressions built in, and it sounds like you might be doing mostly pattern matching.
