A: Software centre image link is broken

This appears to be an issue with certain ISPs, while the root cause is unknown, it appears to affect a large part of the community. As a result I've updated the bit.ly link to point to a different URL of the same image. The image links isn't broken. Not sure how else to replicate this. ...

@MarcoCeppi Look at my comment at the end of that (posted shortly after you wrote that). It still doesn't work - the links have to go through i.stack.imgur.com for them to work here (for some reason)

Is it possible to get dwm/xmonad style of tiling management in firefox?

Oli

@MJB in Firefox? Have pages tiled around rather than be tabbed?

Like this: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tile-tabs ?

MJB

@Oli Right. Ff 7 has that functionality. But I'm missing the "dynamic" tiling functionality with "hjkl"-control. I'm wondering if that's done or possible.

Oli

@MJB No idea

Marco Ceppi

@Oli What you're not getting is it has been switched to i.stack

I'm on a train with train wifi, so it's slow, but I'll screenshot in a second

Oli

@MarcoCeppi Well that's even more odd because when I tested it earlier it, that wasn't happening here

Nevermind, it's only edited the title. Not the actual link.

Oli

Actually, bitly.com/software-small+ says that it's not using the .stack. version

Aaah

Marco Ceppi

Redacted?

Having some problems with graphics drivers. Oddly enough, they work exactly how I want them to on the liveUSB, but it drops 3D support when its installed. Any way I could copy/apply these settings?

Whats with developers not giving Shutdown buttons in the name of User Control ?

ajmitch

What do you mean by that?

Kaustubh P

I read a blog by some developer named Joel, who said that they did not provide a shutdown button in Gnome Shell, in the name of user-control.

ajmitch

complain to them, I still see a shutdown option in unity :P

Kaustubh P

Haha. well there is a suspend button in the user menu, which changes to shutdown when user presses the Alt key.

ajmitch

sounds perfectly windows-like

Kaustubh P

And there are gnome-shell-extensions that can be installed in Fedora, that give you the button and some other things like docks. Haven't been able to install in Ubuntu, yet.

@ajmitch Really? You can do the same in Windows?

I gotta check now.

ajmitch

I don't often use windows, but I recall the shutdown menu being a bit odd there

Kaustubh P

I checked just now. There is a default button that can be assigned a value (that u use frequently, I guess), and others can be selected via a hover menu.
