But don'...

Try keepnote. It can do all that.

40% vs 60% with almost 100 votes total. I think that's a significant % of Linuxers who agree with my thoughts about there being too much choice in Linux.

Solved! Used info from here to help. Had to put this in the launch command (Menu Editor/Skype/Command): LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype.real You might have to do this first in terminal: sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/skype.real I'm using Mint 8 still, so this may be the reason why. ...

My webcam works in Kopete (I'm using KDE). Trying to get it to work in Skype. Read to launch Skype from terminal with this command: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype but I get this: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

Bought a used 750GB external hard drive. I formatted it using KDE Partition Manager. Choose FAT32 (other formats recommended? Want to access with Windows too). Formated fine, but I can't change permissions. I open my external drive in Dolphin under root, try to change the permission (Properties > Pe...

The iPad already used more than Linux computers Posted in Main on April 20th, 2011 by Pingdom We noticed an interesting thing the other day that we’d like to share with you.

Does it have a front-end for VBA? It says : "A VisualBoyAdvance frontend to configure the emulator easily." It also has as a dependency, visualboyadvance : "An emulator for Gameboy and Gameboy Advance systems." I'm not much of a gamer, so just going by what it says. They have a Game section at thei...

Exactly why I will not use Chakra linux. I love the idea and It looks great even if the installer could "Eat my hamster" but it does not have any emulators. VBA snes9x dolphin mupen64 pcsx-r these are all emulators I need for my favorite games that Chakra does not have. VBA - has snes9x - Arch has ...

The amount of choice is only indirectly responsible for the low popularity. I know there's other reasons. Just highlighting this one. To be popular, Linux needs to have lots of high quality *finished* software and official driver support. +1 It isn't going to happen unless there's going to be a sin...

ok well no disrespect (perhaps the only person on this thread to use that phrase) but i disagree with you. I believe what is stifling linux more than anything is... Well that's not really the topic. The topic is "Would Linux be more popular with LESS choice?" not "What's stifling linux the most?"

Chakra is quickly becoming my favorite. Rolling, stable (as far as I can tell), polished, and has a great community.

Rolling.

Found an easy temp solution.

At the boot prompt:

hit tab
type "live"
press enter

I'm having this same problem using Startup Disk Creator to make a USB persistent boot. Doing a little research, it may be because of the current version of Syslinux , which is 4.01. You can download the newer 4.03 version tar.gz file here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ Can som...

How do you get the kdewallet to stop asking for your password at startup to enter wifi? I checked "connect automatically" in the Network Connections.

I do notice there is no "Apply to All Users" as I think earlier version had.

Just received my new laptop hard drive. Not sure which KDE distro to put on it. =(

In order for Linux to really start breaking through, the Linux community needs to focus on better apps.

Keep this topic updated about the best note taking software, please. I already have a thread about all the Linux alternatives to Evernote or Onenote: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=39179 All the apps I mention have to be able to handle images like Evernote and Onenote can, so if t...
