I have been using Dropbox for quite some time now and I really like it. It is cross platform, meaning it works on my Linux machines (at home and at work) and also my OS X machines. It is a very, very simple way to synchronize files between machines.
Recently I switched to KDE 4.2.2 [...]
update: I realize the formatting for this post is a bit screwed up. If anyone has any tips on fixing it I’d appreciate it. It looks fine in the editor view, but when I publish it everything gets screwy.
Today’s tip is a Gnome Desktop tweak that may be new to some of you. Did [...]
With all the hoopla and excitement today in regards to KDE 4.0 release I thought I would publish some instructions on installation for those that want to try it out. There is a KDE 4.0 LiveCD available if you’d like to “try before you buy”, and this tutorial will install KDE 4.0 alongside [...]
Not long ago I blogged about using KDE again to help squash bugs and expand my Kubuntu desktop knowlege. Well, turns out apparently a few people actually read that post and it was pointed out to me here at UDS that I was not currently using it..
So, being reminded of my promise I have [...]
After posting my previous tutorial on Manually Installing Firefox I noticed that the Katapult Launcher in Kubuntu was not aware of my newly installed application. Apparently you need to refresh Katapult before it’ll see the changes. For those of you that use Katapult this little trick might be handy.. and for those of [...]
Well I am a bit pleasantly surprised to say that I’m very much enjoying my time in KDE right now. There are some bugs, as is to be expected, but for the most part I’m continuing to be very productive and I’m learning a lot. I think some of you were right to [...]
Well we’re into day two on using Kubuntu full-time and I’m getting most of my personal show stoppers worked out. I want to thank everyone that left comments here giving me some suggestions. Here are my continued thoughts on using it, and what I’ve worked out.
Things I like / solutions:
Konqueror as a web browser is [...]
As I mentioned a few days ago I have considered trying to use KDE again. Well yesterday I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10 beta. Here are some of my initial thoughts:
Bugs Reported:
netboot installer garbles video output on macbook
initial resolution wrong (1024×768) (#147323)
brightness hardware keys don’t function in kde (functional in gnome) [...]
So I keep hearing all these great improvements coming down the pipe for KDE and v4.0. I know much of it is available in the repositories and while considered beta at this stage when have I been afraid of a little bleeding edge? I’ve been running Ubuntu 7.10 since the second alpha release. I’m a [...]
(Token Disclaimer: I don’t mean to start a flame war. Let’s not argue gnome vs KDE. This is simply an observation of mine. I hope someone might have a solution for it.)
Recently I’ve been on a GPG kick and have been interested in collecting, signing and using the GPG system more and more. [...]
