Thanks all for your input. After digging and playing around a bit, I stumbled across https://penguins-eggs.net/ which seems closest to what I want/need at first glance. Now, giving this a try with a...

Alls;
not sure where to place this, hope this isn't all too wrong: Coming from / fancying MXLinux at times, I really do appreciate their snapshot tool where it's dead-simple to create a bootable,...

Folks; as things have changed considerably all along with GNOME 3.36 it seems, what's the "right" way to reset GDM theme to stock GNOME in Ubuntu 20.04? Any recommendations on how to do that?
Thanks...

Hi all;
installed 18.10 beta on one of my devices and just noticed the (for my personal tastes) annoying purple lock screen background is back. I remember messing with that with installing and...

In case anyone else (from the future) stumbles across this, I managed to resolve this issue by (re-)installing the "ubuntu-session" package. With this, apparently the "GNOME" / "GNOME (xorg)"...

Thanks for your help anyone. Actually the system was a fresh install, only installed the whole vanilla GNOME stuff afterwards as I didn't like the Ubuntu customizing very much. Anything else I can do...

Thanks for your pointer. I'm using the GNOME "vanilla" sessions and see two options "GNOME" and "GNOME on xorg". Choosing just "GNOME" makes me log into GNOME apparently using wayland. Using "GNOME...

Folks;
what is the best way to, on Ubuntu 18.04, switch from wayland back to xorg? I tried logging in using "GNOME / xorg" which blanks screen for a moment to just get me back to the login screen. I...

Yes I actually changed that, however it didn't seem to affect the lock screen but rather the login screen background? I *think* I already fixed it this way before, but it doesn't seem to work at...

Folks,

using vanilla GNOME and GDM on Ubuntu 18.04 pre-releases, is there *any* way to make the background color of the GNOME lock screen match the one of the GDM login screen? In the login...

Folks;

though I understand the GNOME peoples rationale for the decision to remove system tray, I am left with a plethora of applications I can't easily replace and which heavily rely upon tray...

Folks, using Ubuntu 17.10 pre-release, I noticed that while using GNOME with Wayland instead of Xorg, I see fonts in some applications (GNOME shell upper-right menu, VirtualBox and a bunch of other...

Strange enough, this seems to happen only (a) when running multiple monitors and (b) at some point in time. Started up my machine this morning - everything fine. Rebooted now - everything fine. In...

Folks;

experiencing a *rather* strange error: Running 15.10 pre-release builds on my notebook, I fail to use the usual (ALT + cursor-left) key binding to go back in Firefox browser history. Right...

Folks,

being in the process of building specs for a new computer to buy, I wonder whether anyone can recommend a video card capable of OpenGL / 3D while not requiring any binary-only / proprietary...

By the way;



Just running / installing 9.10 x86_64 and free -m does provide just the same output as above running on 32bit?

K.

Hmmm, thanks for sorting me out here. So far I thought the 32-bit limit only applied to main memory, leaving especially video memory subject to management by the display controller. Oh well, you...

Folks;

ran into a peculiar behaviour just a few moments ago: Upgraded my Toshiba Tecra A8 notebook to 4 GB RAM (2 modules, 2 GB each). Booted into BIOS setup, saw 4096M RAM available. Fine. Booted...

Hmmm, already tried a couple of combinations here (rebooting with stick attached, attaching stick after rebooting/logging in, ...), same effect in each case. Adding to this, however: This seems just...

Folks;

after upgrading 9.04 -> 9.10, my USB sticks that worked flawlessly in 9.04 ceased working. While in 9.04 I could easily mount them using the icon appearing on the desktop as soon as the...

Folks;

first off, thanks a bunch for your comments on that, much appreciated. :)

Things I learnt so far:




This fails. It fails same as copying all the CDs to hard drive and trying to...

Folks;

maybe a thoroughly trivial question, but for the sake of entertaining an old enthusiasm of mine, I just tried to install an old Windows9x game ("Blade Runner", to all those who know...)...

Folks;

running Ubuntu 9.10 beta, GNOME and XFCE installed, on a Toshiba Tecra notebook, partly working with the machine "standalone", partly (at the office) having it attached to a docking station...

You're welcome. I made my first experiences with sylpheed in early 200, I guess, when searching for a replacement to XfMail which has an easy-to-use interface and provides for powerful filtering...

Claws-Mail used to be Sylpheed-Claws, a patched-up bleeding-edge version of Sylpheed, so by now Claws-Mail is supposed to be ahead of Sylpheed at least in terms of features available. Back in the...
