Re: Terminal Emulator Choices

Just thought I would chime in here since I always have at least 4 to 6 terminal sessions opened at any given time. Mostly to remote hosts since I'm a server admin. I've been using Tilix for the past couple of years and I really enjoy it. It's very similar to Terminator but I like Tilix better. You c...

Thanks for the great tip AK-47! I never knew about the resizing shortcut and that is going to save me some headaches!

Re: About the Alert and not upgrading

Hey, I came to the party a little late and I already upgraded. Lol. I actually got 2 kernel upgrades recently: 4.19.37-2~mx17+1 4.19.37-2~mx17+2 The first one didn't boot at all so I just booted into the previous one. I didn't have time to check it out right then so I figured I would wait until the ...

Re: How many people using Windows 10 in here?

I know this doesn't help you with the password problem but I thought I would answer the question in the title. Lol. I haven't really used Windows in at least 10 years. Except for the occasional fixing of things on my Wife's computer that is. Fortunately, I have a job that allows me to run Linux on m...

Re: Spotify sounds skips

Well, I was wrong about the Liquorix kernel helping. I just wasn't working the computer hard enough during the weekend I guess. I ran the desktop client in the terminal and this is the only message displayed which happens before I hit play on anything. [0520/134331.787934:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(379)...

Virtualbox 6 dark theme issues

I just updated Virtualbox on my system to version 6.0.6 in the test repos and when I did I found that I can barely read the text in the gui now. It's a bright white background with light gray text. Ugh. I'm using a dark theme and I found that starting Virtualbox like this helps a lot. VirtualBox --s...

Re: Spotify sounds skips

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I had planned on testing the Liquorix kernel in the test repos this weekend anyway and I just did that. Things seem to be much better in Spotify and I haven't noticed the issue in about 2 hours of play since installing it. :) It could be that I'm just not working my c...

Spotify sounds skips

Recently I started noticing frequent sound skips in the Spotify desktop client. Kind of like you're listening to a cheap CD player and you keep bumping it. Lol. Not much has changed in my system in a while other than normal update type stuff. I tried playing some local files and no issues there. The...

Re: Google, Apple and Microsoft.

This is a fun topic! My list would go like this: Google, Microsoft, Apple Google is definitely the most "evil" in my eyes simply because of the vast amount of things they track. Since GA is on almost every single site on the net, they basically get to track everything that everyone does on...

Re: Firefox 66.0.4 has been released

Too little, too late - the damage has already been done Jack I suspect you're right about this. I personally love FF and I'm really shocked that they missed something so key. I actually NEED some of my plugins for work so it wasn't an option for me to wait for their fix. Fortunately, I was able to ...
