Re: Microsoft pushing subscription model
Meh. It's the very old choice of buying vs renting (leasing). Some things you don't have the choice - I can't buy a connection the internet, only rent it. With web services you have the privacy consideration that sending data over the net makes it potentially available to others. I have computer dat...

Re: Time to drop Dropbox?
MX-15 runs glibc 2.19-18 and ext4 is the most common fs type.
I'm sure there are users who will be annoyed that their particular configuration is not supported - but that's true of almost any webservice.

Re: share folders
I just booted up a LiveUSB MX-17 session, installed thunar-shares-plugin with MXPI, created a folder, moved files into it, then used the right-click menu in Thunar to share it to all users. Went to the PC in the other room and accessed it just fine. I had checked the box to make the share writable a...

Re: Are PoE surveillance cameras ("CCTV") really unsafe? Is USB better?
In Linux most USB cameras are natively supported by V4L which doesn't supply a route to the network, and there are a number of open source programs to record and/or view that don't involve the network.

Re: Are PoE surveillance cameras ("CCTV") really unsafe? Is USB better?
POE (Power over Ethernet) cameras have to connect to the network stack to transmit the data into your PC. They get an IP address on your lan. It is certainly possible to firewall that adequately but I wouldn't trust the vendor supplied software to do so. So, yes, a USB connected camera is more secure.

Re: New inxi feature, /sys based usb data
No, I don't normally run with three USB nics. :p I just plugged in some of the inexpensive (<$15) ones I've picked up over time. None of them are actually connected, but they all work. $ pinxi -xxxzAN --usb Audio: Device-1: AMD SBx00 Azalia vendor: Gigabyte driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00...

Re: How to tell what packages are broken..
Your main problem seems to be that you have python3 from debian sid installed, but were trying to install glances from a different repo.
Did you update python and then disable the sid repo?

Re: OpenGL problem when trying to launch DOTA 2
Well, your setup should support it, but how about running these commands and pasting the output back here to see if your setup shows that it supports it.
run:and see if GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc shows up in the list. Also include:
run:
Code: Select all
glxinfo | grep st3
Code: Select all
glxinfo | grep OpenGL

Re: Monthly snapshot announcement
I'll see if I can think of a way to automatically fix things, but for anyone with this problem running this command will get libfontconfig back where it belongs.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install fontconfig=2.11.0-6.7+b1 libfontconfig1=2.11.0-6.7+b1 fontconfig-config=2.11.0-6.7
