I am seeing the same thing with 16.04, but for some reason, I really think that it worked with 17.10. I'm probably wrong, but I know that I'm going to test it at some point, even though I prefer...

I was just poking around in here to see if this had been resolved yet. :(

I completely understand. I had the same issue and went to Ubuntu-gnome to avoid this and just used the Dash to dock plugin for gnome. From my experience, Unity works extremely well if you're...

I have most often found this if I had auto-login enabled. Some have suggested setting it to a blank password, which does work to get rid of this alert but it is a bad practice security-wise. ...

I just want to note that an 8 character password probably isn't long enough anymore. Go with at least 12-14 character at least. I typically find that if you string together 3 non-related words and...

This really sounds almost like what multiple virtual desktops already gives you. You can lay them out in a grid fashion in unity and in gnome they are in a vertical fashion. Getting used to...

Thanks Portaro, that's great! Much appreciated!

Portaro, I would love a link to the dirt road on a farm looking wallpaper. I love it!

That's the thing that is so elusive about this. It has to be hardware, I've just not run into it before. Ubuntu has the issue only if it's newer than 14.04. Also, just about any other current...

I have a single laptop, that whenever I run any verison of Ubuntu on it newer than 14.04, has screen distortion issues. I am not sure of the issue. I also see the same issues, although even more...

Full disclosure, the only time that I have ever had a Mac was when it was provided by my last employer. Macbook Pro, 15 inch. I kept OSX on the thing as the linux-y type things I needed to do, I...

I would say that you install a new RAM in a computer. You install OpenOffice on a computer.

Full disclosure, I really couldn't get comfortable in XFCE. It was pretty slick, but it felt like there was something missing. Ubuntu 14.04, Unity, Moka Icons, theme is mbuntu-y-ithemes-v4.

Here's where I'm at right now, although having just passed my CCNA, (yeah!), I have a little time and may experiment with another DE or distribution.

Love the wallpaper. Will probably use it at some point. Tineye to the rescue!

Might as well start out the new year the same way I ended last year. On my work laptop.

Gnome theme and icons - Moka
Wallpaper found something online, added text. Attached 1280x800

A little end of the year post, showing the current gnome desktop of my work machine.

Moka GnomeShell Theme and Icons, my own wallpaper that I snagged the background from Google and wrote...

It's a risk based decision, like most. Any internet connected ubuntu machine I set up is running a default firewall config to deny all incoming on all ports.

If I were to open a port for remote...

That is definitely a consideration and something that I have been thinking about. It would allow for me to have remote access to it from wherever and on whatever machine, depending on how I set it...

I'm not disagreeing with you. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.

Thanks. The windows route with virtualbox may be where I end up, unless this experiment on OpenSUSE works out well. It's mostly ruby on rails web app development and side projects that I'm working...

It has been so long since I have had issues with hardware compatibility, that I had completely forgotten how absolutely frustrating it can be. I vaguely remember it way back in the day, but it's...

Nice. That layout makes me a bit nostalgic for my Ubuntu 2.x days, even though I realize that is XFCE. Nostalgia is great and all, but I'm not going back.
