[Bug 203782] Re: Support low color depth to improve speed

2009-12-30 Thread scroobious
I'm using the backported vinagre, which helps.  But I have a question:
Is it possible to set a lower color as the default?  I'm guessing, if
some command line call could be passed for low color, that the default
low-color setting could be set via gconf-editor at /desktop/gnome/url-
handlers/vnc/command.  Right now it's vinagre %s.

I'm trying to help my dad half-way across the U.S., and for some reason
we can't get any vnc to work except when he shares his desktop through
Empathy.  Empathy then calls vinagre, and vinagre defaults to maximum
colors; this makes helping him nearly impossible, and it's taking up my
entire winter break.  If there's a way to make that default to low
color, I'd be one happy unpaid tech slave.

[Bug 359862] Re: package acroread 8.1.3-0medibuntu0.8.10.2 failed to install

2009-04-12 Thread scroobious
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 359518 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359518

I ran into this problem last night, and here's my hasty work-around:

Purge all the currently installed acroread packages.

There are three acroread files in /var/apt/archives that need to be forefully 
removed:
/var/cache/apt/archives/acroread-dictionary-en_8.1.3-0medibuntu0.8.10.2_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/acroread-l10n-en_8.1.3-0medibuntu0.8.10.2_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/acroread_9.1.0-7intrepid1_i386.deb

This can be done with:
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/acroread*

*NOTE: If you're not familiar or comfortable with sudo rm -rf, don't
ever touch this command -- its the command-line equivalent of a
wildfire, tsunami, hurricane, tornado, and famine, and leaves nothing
behind.*

Then run
sudo apt-get update

And
sudo apt-get install acroread

You'll be asked to configure it, but it then installs without issue.

[Bug 291242] Re: NetworkManager 0.7 does not recognize p12 keys

2009-01-23 Thread scroobious
Just wanted to add that I've managed to get this to work at our
university. It took some changes from the previous procedures -- a .pem
needed to be made of a key, and the university's root certificate needed
a little tweak, but after that, it's connecting just right.

If only UVA'a secure network was more stable.

I'm going to update
http://uvalug.ue8.org/wiki/Cavalier_Wireless_with_Network_Manager when I
get the chance, and hopefully those instructions will be of help to some
others.

[Bug 280395] Re: Synaptics quick search and search button conflict

2009-01-10 Thread scroobious
I was coming on here to file the same bug, and was beaten to it.  It
should be a simple enough tweak for synaptic to just clear Quick Search
whenever Search is opened.  The way it is now can be especially
confusing to new users, non-computer-savvy users, and oldsters like my
dad who uses Linux but is still trying to figure out what the purple
chicken is about (Pidgin).
