[Bug 1368402] Re: GTK3 apps doesn't understand natural scrolling in Xubuntu

2017-05-22 Thread Eric Polin
Just in case, I personally address the issue by reversing the direction
at the low level:

synclient | grep ScrollDelta
Session and Startup > Application Autostart > Add
synclient VertScrollDelta=- HorizScrollDelta=-

May cause other problems if you have advanced needs, e.g. w/ a graphics
tablet, but it is a perfect solution for me.

No luck here w/ Kieran Clancy's solution on a 940X.
Well, there was no *eyboard* file in the directory anyway...

[Bug 884691] Re: The new thing on the left constantly crashes

2011-11-05 Thread Eric Polin
Not since I upgraded, that's for sure, as I would not have been able to find it 
with this new environment and I did not know the ccsm command: I just tried it 
and discovered it was Compiz. Plus, I would not expect Compiz to work any more: 
isn't it gnome-bound?
And before that, the only thing I had done, per my memory, was turning off all 
visual effects through gnome-appearance-properties, not Compiz: that's a small 
netbook.
Now, I'll be happy to run commands to reinitialize or drop compiz, if you can 
advise about such commands, then retest.

[Bug 884691] Re: The new thing on the left constantly crashes

2011-11-04 Thread Eric Polin
The unity launcher does not show up at all any more. Exactly like the Start 
button's bar in Windows when Explorer crashes.
The icon at the top right is missing in my account, which is annoying. It is 
not the case when I log under another account on the same computer.

[Bug 365763] Re: [ooo-build] OpenOffice programs exit at launch

2009-07-18 Thread Eric Polin
Not sure this helps, but since there was a question about it, I have the
same msg on a BRAND NEW Ubuntu 9.4 when launching (successfully) oocalc,
either with my account or as root:

** (soffice:5912): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number

My config is a plain Ubuntu 9.4 Workstation plus the following modules:
 - Codecs: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, 
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
 - vlc, vlc-plugin-pulse
 - adobe-flashplugin
 - cryptsetup (requires relog or reboot)
 - firestarter
 - apache2
 - mysql-server
 - mysql-admin
 - php5
 - apt-get install secure-delete
 - apt-get install unrar-free
 - apt-get install rlwrap
 - apt-get install meld
 - git-core

 - spamassassin
 - ttf-liberation (the msg takes place also without this module)
 - openoffice.org-java-common (the msg takes place also without this module)
I also have an NVidia and a modem drivers, vmware, and probably a few other 
things I can't think of.

[Bug 289098] Re: VMWare keyboard mapping made incorrect on recent Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 Updates -dated Fri Oct 24 2008

2009-04-05 Thread Eric Polin
jkao's fix worked for me as well, and looks more accurate than using

xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true

With my US International (with dead keys) keyboard, the latter solved
issues like arrow keys, but introduced new ones : many keys not working
any more: dead keys, but also such keys as '\'. Some others got
remapped.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

2007-02-18 Thread Eric Polin
This bug is even more common on laptops than desktops, and much more on
desktops than servers: while is it possible to buy a server without
MSWindows from any manufacturer, I have never, ever seen a laptop
without it (or Apple's OS) for sale in Switzerland's or France's popular
shops: there must be some, but they are not carried by the main
distributors.

Ubuntu has it right to make things simple to casual users, which is the
right challenge. There is still plenty of work to do about it, if I rely
on my current experience: I am installing Ubuntu on my brand new laptop
I bought from a local manufacturer (precisely in order not to pay for
MSWindows), and neither the CD-ROM nor the WiFi work... and I have not
tried the USB yet! This is really where the chicken-and-egg challenge
is, as we all know: the manufacturer, not MS, tested their product w/
Windows, but they did not with Ubuntu...

Fortunately, MS is helping resolve the bug by making its own products
always slower and, above all, impractical. To be honest, I care less
than the average in this community about paying for the software; the
only thing that matters to me is its quality. The reason of my move to
Linux, and to Ubuntu in particular, is the constant regression of MS
software's quality since W2K: I hate system administration, but I hate
coping with flourishing bugs in MS-Word or MS-Outlook, or waiting for
MSExplorer to do tasks I have not requested, much, much more.

To me, MS's current situation looks very much like IBM's in the 1980's:
prices were high, technology was lagging, and only reputation and
installed base kept them afloat... until they suddenly crashed. The
momentum now clearly stands with companies like Ubuntu, Google and, to
some extent, Sun or Oracle. It is my impression that Ballmer's more
financially- and less technically-focused management than Gates'  was
greatly increases the opportunity for the leaders of the Linux world to
do significant progress in the resolution of that bug.
