i was looking for a pic for that's not creepy, THIS is creepy... but everything i found was sufficiently disturbing that it didn't warrant posting here ;)
@hbdgaf I'm not grabbing a non-Canonical image of a pre-release version, and I'm not installing another DE over that crippled messy pile of an install that comes from it.
We've been having kubuntu, xubuntu, etc for a while because gnome was "the norm". Now there's a missed detail that when you say "we're rewriting gnome", maybe there should be a gnome respin that is official
just saying, i flew off the handle when it landed since i used gnome at the time. know when i see other people do it i'm all quickmeme.com/img/9f/…
@hbdgaf Oh, there is. Ubuntu GNOME is going strong. But if I have to use a pre-release version, I'm not going to use an image that, while official, isn't put together in the way Canonical wants it to be put together. I already have enough instability in the system, doesn't need to add another issue to it.
I'd be perfectly open to using Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 once tahr is actually released. But during the pre-release phase, I'd rather see my PC burn in the manner Canonical intended.
@Mateo xfce til i die... or they remove the ability to edit themes and panels - or compositing stops working
@Mateo so crazy lots of progress on camcastic this weekend. it's nothing in LoC or functionality , but loads of understanding how to do what i want to get done.
xubuntu is a close second right now for me - there are a handful of linux steam games that have a strange fullscreen problems with k/ubuntu - so I default back to it off and on now - used it all the time on my old VIA - picoITX board
xubuntu is just the steady horse for me. other things have over-reached. xfce is the "bug? what's that?" other than the sound indicator thing that was a problem exclusive to xubuntu, but i blame appindicator for that.
@Mateo so v4l2ctl.py is done for the time being. i don't need set mode for gst, since you set those params in the filter, but it's another cog in the machine.
also, youtube needs a "playlists containing this song" feature.
@FEichinger are you sure you gave it a chance? i mean the blog articles only seem to go back to 2013?
@hbdgaf i'm thinking of getting a couple of inexpensive webcams for testing, maybe go to some thrift shops and find a random selection, i'll let you know when I have some maybe send a few your way.
@FEichinger i think maybe when the project is more mature, it won't be running pre-release, but if you want to get wheels on the ground and get something running you don't fix the old broken stuff first... you fix the next release stuff so everything works ootb
consider what i'm working on... i'm dev-ing for12.10-14.04. 12.04 is an "it would be nice to support it" bolt-on. and i'm doing an app, not an os. we should be patient with new projects to get their cycles in sync.
well... i guess if that's the case, i'll take it. a bug for some of the auto-magic is good in most user cases. that's not to say i'll stop dual-booting freebsd ever, so it's not a religious decision. it's just - this works. hopefully things like this taper off over time. i'm sorry you're one of the people that is stuck in a corner.
I don't think there's any convincing in the other direction now. I tried. Good luck with Debian. I don't think a corner case bug is ever a reason to switch distros... like how I tolerated the applet and used alsamixer instead, but I feel the pain since I like MSI and Asus boards on principle.
@hbdgaf Oh, I'll be back the moment trusty is actually released. But right now, I'm not dealing with my OS greeting me with 5 errors every boot, being unable to suspend or hibernate without trouble, getting driver race condition bugs every now and then and finally breaking on me completely after a few weeks.
@NathanOsman i had someone complain about that when i was working as a short order cook. my eggs were "too perfect" so they had to be flash-frozen. there was no way a short order cook could make eggs that perfect.
if you order them at a waffle house that's over light. they don't have an over-easy. it's light medium or well. light being easy, medium being in the middle and well being hard
conversely, you could ask the cook to leave a meat press on top of the egg-pan for a couple of minutes to put heat on the up part to make them lighter than over-light, but harder than up.
If you're talking the sous-vide egg in the article that's just a proper soft-boiled egg with no outer white. My mother used to make those and crush them in crackers to make them less slimy for children.
@Mateo yeah, get the bath holding temp, throw the egg in for an hour (or whatever you're aiming for) and then just crack it open onto some toast at the end
Not sure there's enough conductivity in an oven
And the temperature has to be spot on
We use a similar technique for chicken too. Slightly higher temperature (63.5 for a couple of hours) but it's restaurant quality. Same with steak (but down in the 40s).
one of my favorite ways recently to cook an egg has been - take it whole with a bit of butter and salt on top - put it into the microwave for a couple of min - pop! (cover if you don't want a mess)
@Braiam you don't try to give disadvantaged women cake in february so they feel better about being alone but good people. i'm just consuming leftovers that got turned down... odd as it sounds.

I belief that Unity needs somewhat of a customizability features. What better time to put it in while they are rewriting the code in C++ for version 8. I think it's more customizable than the applet features of many desktop environment like KDE, XFCE, to just name a few, because you can change/...

I have set up my VPS (Ubuntu 12.04) to act as a L2TP VPN server using Openswan, xl2tpd and PPP.

I have looked online but I cannot seem to find any documentation on this...
no - policy has evolved over time. If necessary we can suffix the Q with the standard "big-list" statement. That doesnt stop us closing todays big list stuff.
@Braiam there you go - solved. I've added the big list statement. If you have the time, throw a few delete votes against naff answers and flag duplicates and we can then clean up the main question.

I have since left ubuntu for lubuntu since it does not have this issue. Note that this is a multimonitor setup, hdmi1 and hdmi2 is in use and they don't support the same modes. Maybe it's related, more testing show that it works sometimes, but often not. — KRA19 mins ago
Lets face it... software recommendation were never good questions for Ask Ubuntu, and don't tell me "but they are popular"... the popular questions got their popularity because they are too broad or fit lots of questions, not because they were good. But let me not rant about that and lets see wha...
