Re: [Trisquel-users] What games do you play on your computers

I play Star Wars Galaxies through SWGEmu. The server code is being reverse engineered and is AGPL but the client code is still closed source. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it already, since there's not a lot of mmorpgs that are even partially open source. It runs fine on Trisquel through

I've got a question that seems to fit here. If I install other programs and there gets to be more categories in the bottom left menu (on gnome panel) then it starts scrolling with arrows at the top and bottom. How do I stop it from doing that and just make the menu taller?

In Nautilus, click on the gear in the top right for the menu and hit Preferences. Under the Behavior tab you'll find a section for Executable Text Files. It's set to View executable files when opened, which is the problem. Set it to run them or ask each time, whatever your preference. =)

I added the GNOME PPA (ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3) but it didn't add Ephiphany to my list in Synaptic. When I updated, it installed libcolord-gtk1 and updated gnome-control-center, gnome-control-center-data, gnome-system-monitor, gnome-terminal, gnome-terminal-data, libgnome-control-center1.
