Re: System Restore

Re: System Restore
You could simply have removed the graphics driver. No need to reinstall... The problem is that the OS booted up to a black screen which made it impossible for me to access the Driver Manager. And that's where the Live CD/DVD/USB shines. If a normal installation goes FUBAR (e.g. GUI doesn't boot up)...

What impressed me was the core was written entirely as a self-contained shell script. No need to co...

Re: Improving the password prompt situation for Linux
The OP could have responded to the initial replies with tact/diplomacy. But (s)he chose to throw an insult instead. From that moment, this thread started going downhill.

Re: wrong notification topic reply
Nothing wrong with receiving a topic reply, even if it was your own post. It's just standard forum procedure when you reply to a thread, you automatically get subscribed to it (as per settings in your User Control Panel) and will get notified of future replies, even if it was your own. AFAIK though,...

Re: usernames
If you're referring to your login name and home directory, see [SOLVED] How to change username & home folder name.
OTOH, if you want to have your forum username changed, send a message to any of the active administrators, requesting it to be changed.
Cheers.

Re: How to allow a user to install software?
The best solution would be to allow software installation into the user's home as opposed to systemwide, but I don't know if that can easily be done. This is only possible if the software in question was designed to be run directly without having to install it first. An example that comes to mind i...
