Re: How does multithreaded programs compile and run by linux in multicore-cpu machine today?

It might be worth noting that some languages and runtimes do automatic thread handling for you. Go, in particular, will automatically try to execute across all your cores by default. Each go routine is automatically assigned to a fiber which is executed over a thread pool the size of the cpu cores f...

Re: EXPLANATION/INTERUM FIX -> Some GTK Apps (Like Stata for Linux) and QT Apps load very Slow (MInt 20.1 ALL EDITIONS?)

Thanks for the solution. The issue on my system is caused after installing the Zoom (meeting app) deb package. Gdebi installs about 7 dependencies. I applied your solution and it fixed the issue. Below is the log of the dependencies of Zoom being installed: I suspect the "Processing triggers f...

Re: SOLVED - Geary does not work after re login

Indeed, I found this too. In fact, all goa credentials can die if you logout and log back in. Your calendars stop syncing (if you use evolution or gnome-calendar), etc. This seems to be a known multi-year bug in gnome, and I found a solution in a redhat forum. Yes, this works on mint, too... Just cr...

Re: EXPLANATION/INTERUM FIX -> Some GTK Apps (Like Stata for Linux) and QT Apps load very Slow (MInt 20.1 ALL EDITIONS?)

I have a partial solution and can provide a more information to the cause... First, I was fortunate enough to have setup two mint 20.1 systems on new installs within the last two weeks, one that I made from the other on a timeshift backup. So they started identical, and I encountered or noticed this...

Re: Autologout and screen locker

Hmm...yes...that does work! And of course much less potentially "destructive" than a full logout... Also, I did not find a clean way to restart just cinnamon from the command line. Install xdotool and then you can use this command to insert the key press to restart Cinnamon: xdotool key ct...

Re: Autologout and screen locker

In some cases, like gnome-keyring-deaemon, it is not just cinnamon that may leak. Also, I did not find a clean way to restart just cinnamon from the command line. There is some option to give it a sighup, which is supposed to behave the same as ALT-F2 "r", but is always also throws a modal...

Autologout and screen locker

Let's face it, cinnamon is still a bit leaky. It is not the worst offender I have encountered in respect to memory leaks, but it can sometimes grow a hundred megs or so of resident ram per day with heavy use... The situation may even still vary with specific hardware, video drivers, etc... I once ex...

Re: Keyboard shortcuts not working ( mint 14 cinnamon )

This bug hit me too. I am starting a package of tiny x11 helper apps (http://dev.gnutelephony.org/gitweb/?p=packages/trix11.git;a=summary) to do some window management functions that are currently missing in muffin and sometimes elsewhere, starting with one to simply "rotate" workspaces, s...

Re: How to get Compiz-Fusion on Debian Xfce 201104

I had good success with compiz on xfce4 edition using the gnome/gtk compiz decorator and (gnome) metacity decorator themes, rather than using a resurrected emerald as suggested in this thread. It seems to me a native xfce4 specific dectorator for compiz is needed.
