[Bug 532633] Re: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment

2010-07-23 Thread Ubuntu-Me 
I think it is important to consider not that I an others have gone back
to Karmic Ubuntu,  or that we left initially due to the User Interface
issues pertaining to Lucid's (MacBuntu) feel, but rather the bigger
picture.   The loss of trust in Canonical's ability to maintain
stability over time.

As a long time Ubuntu fan, it is a heartbreak to find myself running
away from 'MacBuntu  and once again due to stability issues.  While
adding options to software is fine.  Forcing them upon users will only
serve to reduce membership.

Rather then deal with Mark's mistakes directly, and I think I speak for
many,  I can only say one thing.

 (DEBIAN !)

After trying Debian I became convinced that it was far better for me.
I first ran Debian from a Virtual box.  Its like Ubuntu and in fact
Ubuntu has its roots there.   One difference is Mark is not there, and
the buttons are where they should always be.

MacBuntu is not for me, and I know that others might also be reading
these posts.  I saw many thngs wrong with Ubuntu 10.04.  Speed problems
and GUI button placement.  Ubuntu was a nice ride while it lasted, and
for that I am greatful.  After running Debian for the first time I was
sold in almost no time flat.

They pride themselves on stability and SPEED !   I say this to all
Ubuntu fans like myself.   If you don't like Mark's button ideas give
Debian a test run.  Perhaps like I did.  In a VirtualBox.   Impressive !
Let Ubuntu learn the Microsoft lesson.  Seems like many companies seem
to need to learn from mistakes these days.  Switching the buttons is a
big mistake.  It got me looking in other directions, and while I have
run Red Hat, and Suse,  I never tried Debian.   Until my buttons changed
to the left that is.

If Ubuntu goes to the left and you don't like it try Debian.  You will
be impressed and I am no longer looking back.

So long Ubuntu !  If at first you don't succeed try try again

[Bug 118988] Re: No way to disable trash in nautilus

2009-10-25 Thread Ubuntu-Me 
The way to disable the command is as follows :

Find the Trash folder and remove it.  Then replace it with a file so
that it cannot be recreated under that name again. Give it minimal
rights.  Anything that tries to use such a folder will never be able to.
Twisting its arm off if it tries.  Brute force but it works.   Here is
an example.

/home/YourLoginName/.local/share#   ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root  0 2009-10-25 10:48 Trash
 

That file use to be this folder.

drwxrwxrwx 4 UserName  UserName 4096 2009-02-01 16:54 Trash

In order to do this you need to empty the contents of the Trash folder
which has an info and a files folder with stuff in it.  After
removing the files and folders then remove the Trash folder and use a
touch command to create the file Trash  like this.

touch Trash

Remeber you need to be root.  Use chmod if you need to in order to remove 
rights to the file.
Your problem is gone.  

Hint.  You can do this on  [Jump Drives]  too. ! The fill up with trash.  
What a pain.
DELETE means DELETE...   Thought I would help...

Happy UBUNTU - ing8-)
