Re: For a Quick Way to Check Disk Space in Ubuntu, Try This Extension

It would be useful if the graphs were remotely accurate! See examples 3.9Tb/3.9Tb, but the graph is about 33%, 581Gb/982Gb is apparently about 12%. Okay, new math! https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Very nice app, and it even finds Hoedspruit!

Re: GNOME 44.2 Released with Fixes for GNOME Software, Nautilus, and More

dkeats — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 12:59:35 -0000

It would be nice to get an update to Gnome on Ubuntu. Hopefully this will come faster than 44.1, which is still not available on Ubuntu.

Snap! The pain that keeps on giving.

Re: OpenShot 3.1 Released with Enhanced Time Remapping, Caption Tweaks + More

dkeats — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 02:07:12 -0000

I make a lot of videos, and I used to love Openshot, then sometime along the way it just started crashing when trying to render the graphical representation of the audio track and I had to stop using it. It was the best video editor by far, so I will give this release a try.

Re: Gordhan rips into De Ruyter

dkeats — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 03:27:48 -0000

Even if what Gordhan says is true, that means Gordhan also did not do his job for 3 years, since he oversees Eskom. It is certainly an interesting management style, making ad hominem attacks after 3 years of doing nothing. Another one lost all credibility.

I will be happy to take that bet. How much do you want to wager?

Re: Enable This Setting to Move Files Faster in Ubuntu

It seems like it needs a time control. It opens the folder whether I hover or not, which is not the expected behaviour. It should only open the folder on hover.

Re: Microsoft Demos GUI Linux Apps Running on Windows 10

dkeats — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 02:11:47 -0000

You asked, so here is my answer. Interesting, but since I have not used Windows for 20 years as of two days ago, I am not likely to use it. I have not found anything I cannot do on Linux naively. Besides, WSL is really mainly for data centre use.

Re: Glimpse 0.2.0 Released, Based on GIMP 2.10.18

dkeats — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 02:53:12 -0000

Not sure I understand this. On my system, it does not look any different from Gimp except for the different startup screen and a slightly darker dark. Neither this article nor the Glimpse website give any indication of what exactly has been added. I would love to know.

Re: How to Enable Wobbly Windows Effect on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Yes, and you can't control where it zooms.

Re: How to Enable Wobbly Windows Effect on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

dkeats — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 12:28:19 -0000

Yea, Gnome has it, but it is pretty much unusable. I used to use the Compiz one all the time it was smooth and worked well, the zoom worked with the mouse scroll wheel, and it zoomed where the pointer is. The Gnome one is really clunky, and it is imposible to use it in a video because then I have to edit out all the times I say "F ... or goodness sake". I love Gnome but usability is as important as presence.

Re: How to Enable Wobbly Windows Effect on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

dkeats — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 02:10:54 -0000

The one Compiz effect that i REALLY REALLY REALLY miss is the ability to zoom in on an area of screen during a presentation. That would be useful. I wonder if anyone is working on that.

Re: InSync 3 Goes Stable, Brings OneDrive Sync to Linux

dkeats — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 13:04:42 -0000

I used it a couple of weeks ago, and it was very very very very very far from stable, and it cost me a lot of lost work hours. I would not recommend using Insync for anything mission critical until it has had some time to prove itself.

Re: Watch This Guy Run Terminal Commands on Ubuntu, 1930s Style

dkeats — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 06:18:45 -0000

I remember how exciting it was to switch from cards to a 110 baud teletype. This brings back memories. It was so exciting to get a response in seconds instead of hours. Then DEC came along with the VT52 and spoiled the teletype fun forever.

Re: KDE Plasma 5.16 Released – And It’s a Big One!

dkeats — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 02:24:00 -0000

I did a fresh install of Kubuntu (killing Mint) about an hour before 5.16 hit the repo, so it got installed at the end of the 'apt update' once I added the backports PPA. I did that for Digikam, was not even aware of 5.16 then. But it works fantastic. The only thing I had to configure was the scale. That is via Scale on the Display configuration, so dead simple.

Got it on my 4K laptop, works beautifully.

Got the 2.4.2 Appimage daily build today and it is working properly now.

Re: OpenShot Video Editor Adds New Effects, Auto Audio Mixing & More

dkeats — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 13:16:56 -0000

Oops, that was not true, I had accidentally started 2.4.1. So I logged this as a bug with Openshot. Hopefully it can be resolved.

Re: OpenShot Video Editor Adds New Effects, Auto Audio Mixing & More

dkeats — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 09:17:46 -0000

Interestingly, I got the daily build and now it seems to be working perfectly.

Re: OpenShot Video Editor Adds New Effects, Auto Audio Mixing & More

Have you actually used it?

Re: OpenShot Video Editor Adds New Effects, Auto Audio Mixing & More

dkeats — Sun, 01 Jul 2018 12:02:47 -0000

Unfortunately, the PPA version doesn't seem to work correctly as the resolution changes between my two identical monitors. Probably something to do with QT. And the Appimage does not run due to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: drmGetDevice2 error. The 2.4.1 Appimage version works fine.

Re: Will You Upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS? [Poll]

Have had it on my laptop already for a while. It works very well, much better than 17.10

There is no Ubuntu 17.10 version in the repository. Pity.
