    [kubuntu] xorg.conf clobbered after update

    Good day,

    I'm using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. This file gets clobbered every time a update occurs.

    Is there anyway for me to tell APT not to touch my xorg.conf?

    Thanks!

    Actually, it's not zoomed in (100%) or a problem with the resolution. I did reduce the size of the window for the screen capture, but it looks the same at 1280x800.

    Good day,

    In htop, I'm wondering if anyone know what the red '1h' in the TIME+ column means. I've attached a screenshot for reference.

    Re: sinf(angle) != sinf(angle) WTF???

    Agreed, but if I round pi to four decimals twice, and compare both values, should I not have the same result? :confused:

    Re: sinf(angle) != sinf(angle) WTF???

    Just to add a bit to the funk, I tried compiling with -O0 and got the same result. However, compiling with -O1 and above works correctly -- that is sinf(x) == sinf(x).

    It's strange that this...

    sinf(angle) != sinf(angle) WTF???

    Hello world,

    The following code works as expected on amd64, but not on an i32. Comparing sinf(angle) == sinf(angle) returns false. Any idea why?
