@GeorgeEdison - despite their joshing...less is more on icons. i would keep what you have and take it down to monochrome svg. infinite scale and it can look skeksi no matter what theme you use. Foreground and transparency being the only colors
I don't mean monochrome in the traditional sense. foreground and transparency so global background is background and you don't have to run about reskinning things. 2-3 colors makes everything simple
Here's an example. A titlebar looks slick with a gradient applied or gradient+some effect to make it glass. When you start goofing around with foreground fanciness it makes it look...well...bad. So, simple.
the glow you added should be handled universally in software. i can concede that the fg/bg/outline is prettier and that drop-shadows/dropglow need not always be white or black. but now i'm rambling. it's just my opinion.
@mateo_salta it was a superfast example. if it were for production the point of the arrow should line up to the bounding lines for the top and bottom of the N
seriously though, tri-color the offset for outline works. bi-color it looks wrong and the point should line up to the top/bottom justified lines instead of the spacer
to be fair, it may uglify the tricolor representation
Here's a typical example: Hide FIles in Ubuntu 12.04 posted about five hours ago. Here's essentially the same question, IMO, posted on August 12, 2010.
Maybe it's unawareness. Maybe it's the "lumpers versus splitters" situation in which some feel that an existing question and answer cover the ne...
@Mochan You have errors before the loop device error. [ is used to test conditions (for example, in Ubuntu, see man [. And [[ is not provided by all shells. After running su, what's the output of echo $PATH and type [ [[ bash ?
I was reviewing an edit here, but even though it turns out the suggested edit was made on the original post, it was compared to a later edit (a nice one by the way). So much so, that the edit being reviewed appeared - to me - to be vandalism. Which I chose as the reason when rejecting it.
Howeve...
@Mochan What script? You do not need access to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh to run those commands, you just need access to a terminal.
Assuming they were in Android, it's the Android system where echo $PATH and type [ [[ bash should be run, since that's the system from which we're trying to get information.
@Mochan It seems you don't have the [ and [[ commands. Ordinarily that would be fine, because they are bash builtins too. But you don't seem to have bash either. The [ command's functionality is probably provided by busybox, but I don't know what to do for [[. Let's look at the script and see if it says what shell it's meant for.
Please run: head -1 /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh
@gertvdijk Yeah that happens to me sometimes. Especially (but not only) for non-trivial custom flags. There might be too much work for moderators these days; that might be why we're having an election. (That does not mean you should stop or even slow down flagging, though. Your flags will be dealt with eventually, probably in the next couple days if not much sooner.)
@Mochan Btw, that head command shows the first line of the boot script you're trying to run.
I assume that this question: What web browsers are there for Ubuntu? is supposed to become a list of browsers, one browser per answer.

What is kernel panic?
When the kernel can't load properly or "freaks out" and fails to boot properly or crashes(see edit credit at the bottom).
Why it occurs?
Hosed updates, failing hardware, unsupported hardware, failed or missing drive or partition (see edi...
Yes, or just be lucky because the question is being featured. I got totally overwhelmed by this one after answering. Saw the votes popping up while improving. How does vim steal root owned files?
Review Low Quality Posts has just three buttons: Looks Good, Edit, Recommend Deletion.

Hello Every one, why firmware-b43-lpphy-installer is not present in apps.ubuntu.com but available in software center? earlier it used to list in apps directory
@Web-E - Yeah, weird that is not there. Maybe it was missed since I thought it was because it was related to proprietary software but I also see there the nvidia ones. If you still want to execute it then go here: apt.ubuntu.com/p/firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
I have a problem with my ircd-hybrid server. I can only make myself operator in the status tab but not when I join channels.
There is my operator tag in ircd.conf:

Interesting. Are you sure you've posted all of your lsusb output? The find command does list a USB device that I don't see in your lsusb output. If it really isn't there... then that baffles me. Please provide the output of cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.0/modalias for now. — gertvdijk44 secs ago
After figuring out how to change the mapping of scan codes to key codes using udev, see this question, I was wondering how those key codes (or events if you will) are mapped to the appropriate action.
So, for example, if you press volume up on your keyboard, a scan code is sent which will then ...
@GeorgeEdison yeah, read that some hours ago. I was like W.T.F. I think it's a joke of some sort. Also colleagues said: can't be true - no market for this on Linux desktops.
or just a plain misunderstanding about Android/Linux

I am setting up my first cron on a Ubuntu Desktop system. I was curious to know if there is a way to lock a folder before a cron is ran and how to set it up? I am following this article. I am just trying to make sure I don't damage any files when moving them from and to the cron folder because...
Anybody an idea why (oh why) they did write down all this: askubuntu.com/questions/251767/… - configuring a non-existent harddrive 40 times, running the live CD iso from a DOS floppy... sigh
@mateo_salta Or it slows down the charging process and doesn't top off the battery. Remember the difference in the "speed chargers" and the 8 hour chargers for RC cars?
I've had a Thinkpad and I really liked the ability to set this. Now I have a HP with a battery just locked at a lower voltage - no option to change this - all in hardware.
Comes with a "after three year still 80% capacity" warranty. In fact, it's just the same battery as the regular ones, (weight, # cells), but the capacity is specced at 80%. It just says "stop charging" at a lower limit.
It's awesome that signed kernels are available now. I love it.
We need a canonical answer on how to install Ubuntu with the signed kernels along-side other UEFI compliant systems.
I'll bounty this after it gets a good answer. Check my accept rate...OOPS, it's about 100% ;)
I have a Motorola Atrix phone.
This phone has only one SIM reader. Can we create a virtual SIM reader to show a second SIM? If this is possible, how can I do it?
Asking about video players or audio players separately would already involve the risk of getting a lot of duplicate answers, but a question asking one about all "media" players had made it all useless in my opinion, especially by the fact that the thing is impossible to improve and keep up to da...
:/ I want to muck around with getting a set of displaylink hardware working so people can be sure they can buy one that works. It's not high on my list of priorities though.
I have a moral division on using fedora...not going to talk about it
Same with wireless N and hostapd support. I'ld like to get it working on one USB card. It's something that needs to happen. Buy this and it works should exist for lots of things.
Yeah. My Intel wireless N works fine unless I want injection. What I'm getting at is that there needs to be buyable snap-on hardware instead of trying to piece-meal it.
I take your point. I was just saying that someone wrote a protocol to figure it out or just figured out how to get it working. Bribe their developers with beer.
