Bump and threadjack since this seems to be the most recent "Why does KDE make DPI hard?" thread.

Rant:

I think the most common understanding of DPI/resolution/font-size/etc is summed up by the...

Let's not be silly. There is Linux malware. It exists, it hates you and it's out to get you. (cue: OMINOUS STRINGS) The difference is the security model and the way vulnerabilities are detected...

Hi.

When asking questions, it's very helpful to describe what end goal you want. That way, if there's a better tool, we can suggest that. For the vast majority of network adapters, ndiswrapper...

Bootchart is a little tricky. First, Karmic measures boot time differently from Jaunty, from boot to 45 seconds after the login screen appears. So, a Karmic boot time that's 45 seconds longer than...

ticktricktrack,

I don't feel like being an accessory to your copyright infringement. Nor am I willing to work with someone who wants his system to be optimized, but won't put in the effort to...

You need two things for 3D acceleration in a virtualbox guest:

- Working 3D acceleration in the host
- Sun's graphics driver.

You should also be using Sun's driver for audio, not Realtek's. ...

Press and hold alt(just tested it, either one works on my computer)and sysrq/printscreen while you tap the buttons. Here's what they do:

Raw - keyboard in raw mode. Don't bother, you're going to...

Well, since you know what app you want to run, look in the appdb http://appdb.winehq.org/ and see what people say it does on different versions. You might have to try them both. Good luck.

You missed rtorrent. It's ugly by modern standards (gotta love the ncurses console interface...), but it's specifically designed for efficiency. Assuming 1) you don't have a problem with your...

Arminius, you want to keep distributed computing programs from interfering with other programs, right? On Windows, you'd do that by only running them when the screensaver runs. On Unix-like...

Using older software only decreases bugs if someone else is finding and fixing them. Longer cycles, in effect if not intent, make testing and debugging somebody else's problem. It's fair to strike...

All users? I don't know. One user? Preferences -> Administration -> Language Preferences. Set the IME box to IBus and it will automatically start on login.

Ewww, gross analogy. But, I agree. If the hd is showing bad sectors, it's time to get a new one. You can still use the old one as a paperweight or rifle-target or take it apart and play with the...

First, even though ndiswrapper has a long and venerable history in the Linux world (thus many, many tutorials floating around the web), it's pretty much obsolete now as real Linux drivers have taken...

Mail server, GNOME desktop, KDE, LAMP, all these things are simply software installed on the base Ubuntu system. Thus, an install can be many of these things. My computer, for example, is an apt...

From that web site: "The demonstrations require the RTAI version of real-time Linux." RTAI is no more. I have no idea what happened to it, but it looks like that tutorial is from 2001. ...

I had this problem intermittently when I had IBus installed but not properly set up. Try going to "System -> Administration -> Language Support" and make sure the input method is set to IBus. Then...

Yes, I covered Pidgin (use it if you like it), and the folder preview (there isn't and no plans to chase down such a little feature, as far as I know).

That leaves Beagle. I'm not a...

Looks like I was wrong. Disk Usage Analyzer(baobab) misses trash files. I'm gonna try that on my computer now. Thanks for teaching me something.

Since your problem is solved, can you click on...

If he's booting without a CD, grub is working fine, thus no need to worry about it. Look back to the first post, notice that he's modified the /boot/menu.lst on his harddrive to get it to work. I...

Supergrub? I think Spot mentioned that he's tried that. I've never used it, but boy does it look snazzy. We probably don't need it though.

This actually doesn't sound too bad. It's especially...

I don't think that will work. Actually, here's the issue: rsync isn't quite the right tool for this. Rsync's delta-transfer isn't enabled for transfers entirely on the same host, because it...

XP has lower system requirements, thus it's faster. XP is also much older, has a less-secure design, and has an obnoxious tendency to slow down with age (especially if it accumulates crapware and...

Commercial use of the Ubuntu logo is limited to Canonical merchandise. If it's not here, the answer is "no, you'll have to make your own and you can't sell it for profit." ...
