    Re: Things that you dislike in Ubuntu

    I hate that upstart was abandoned. It was a good backup init and I'm neither certain about its future (which looks bleak if it has one at all) or who to ask. I don't expect Canonical to maintain it...
  2. Re: What exactly do you do with your computer at home ?

    I write, read, and just for fun load two different windows with invidio.us so I can watch the video of one synced with the sound of the other:

    "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)"...
  3. Re: What are your Likes and/or Dislikes with Ubuntu Forums

    Culturally speaking, I think the forums are far too apolitical. I haven't expected any different in nearly a decade (I was also here around 2010 or something) but that's my primary dislike.

    Plenty...
  4. Re: Are there any advantages to using non-GNU command-line utilities?

    I use IceWM, it predates Open Source. (By less than a year.)

    Things open and close instantaneously. On Antix, it is even faster.

    Bloat is the thing that makes things slower. To know how slow...
  5. Re: another feature i would like to see added to firefox

    But it only captures as much of page as is currently displayed, right?

    So for example, what I'm looking at now puts this text line I'm typing (in the editor) near the bottom of the screen, but if...
  6. [ubuntu] Re: Does Ubuntu respect presence of SSDs?

    Of relevance is that SSD is gradually moving away from AHCI towards other modes like Intel IRRT.

    I'm not certain that IRRT is the specific mode I'm thinking of; I know that AHCI is not newer.

    I...

    Re: 32 bits

    That miscommunication has taken the tech press by storm. If there are corrections to be made, they will need to travel far beyond this forum. Steam is supposedly dropping Ubuntu support over this....

    [ubuntu] Re: sodu: command not found

    Just a guess, but you could be having problems due to /home/shuvo/bin being the first thing in your path. If the usual items were first, that might work better.

    TheFu suggested you run which sudo...
  10. [SOLVED] Re: Can anybody recommend a (text-based, no database) checklist application for Ubunt

    Thanks everybody, http://todotxt.org/ would probably work here. I've tried Cherrytree and it's pretty cool for notes, I didn't notice any specific checklist features. Please feel free to mention...

    Re: Python Tools

    Be sure to disable telemetry so it doesn't spy on you.
  12. [SOLVED] Can anybody recommend a (text-based, no database) checklist application for Ubuntu?

    Either GUI (using flat textfiles) or command line (using flat textfiles.)

    "Either" version of Ubuntu as well-- LTS or the latest release.

    Re: Python Tools

    I just use leafpad. But that's only for code that is fewer than 2000 loc.

    Geany would be the next best thing-- it lets you do find and replace on every open tab at once (how cool is that?)

    Re: What is a package, really?

    Not at all, I found it inspiring. I almost want to create a program to rearrange my system with that structure.

    I wouldn't have to recompile everything, I would have to create a bunch of symlinks....

    +1, Be nice if more people thought that way. Most people who maintain packages seem to. Not everyone who maintains package managers do.

    Re: I'm starting to feel it...

    I'm waiting for a Python-based Vim-like thing.

    I'm sure emacs is a better editor than vim, and that's not a troll (but this is...) but it doesn't matter as I only have 10 fingers, not the 16...

    Re: I'm starting to feel it...

    And getting a serious text editor, like emacs or vim, will make you a very powerful user indeed.

    I do most of my coding in leafpad, the longest program I've written is about 2100 lines. With...

    Re: I'm starting to feel it...

    The main difference with a pi is the bootloader and installing the image. Apart from that, it should be very familiar (as much as Ubuntu is.)

    For the most part, the command line is one of the...

    Re: I'm starting to feel it...

    If you really think about it, every interface is text-based, more or less. The titles of the icons, (some are more like symlinks than filenames, though still text-based) the alt-text of images on the...
  23. Re: Software/OS spying and hardware spying. How to deal with both of them?

    Hi vibers, welcome.

    As you may have guessed, there are two options to avoid the problem you're talking about-- one is to use an older PC that does not have the feature. You would be surprised how...

  25. Re: How to stop screen tearing by enabling Vertical Retrace Synchronization (vsync)

    I would think that gedit (or geany) would more than suffice for this, but if those don't work you can always use leafpad for the task. Be sure to enable word wrap.
