Re: [PLUG] (fwd) Ubuntu 10.04 LTS released

Torrents are definitely the way to go when a new version is released. The mirrors always go dog slow for the first few days, even simple updates are painful. Thanks for seeding, it helps everyone. Jason On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 7:02 PM, John Jason Jordan wrote: > On Thu, 29 Apr 2010 12:36:56 -0

Re: [PLUG] C++ include files and autocompletion in IDEs

The latest version of Kdevelop 4 does this just fine. I just verified it using your example, just to be sure. Jason On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 6:31 PM, Carlos Konstanski < ckonstan...@pippiandcarlos.com> wrote: > There seems to be an issue with certain C++ IDEs (Eclipse and Emacs with > XRefactory

Re: [PLUG] New Computer

I would recommend an OS upgrade. Intrepid was not the best with system resources. I am running a beta of Lucid Lynx (Kubuntu 10.04) on a dell mini 9 with an atom processor and firefox is only using 3% of my CPU. This netbook is MUCH lower power than your system so perhaps the software upgrade is

Re: [PLUG] Out of town guests

I have been using Kubuntu since the days of Breezy Badger. It would be great to sit down and talk with Jonathan while he is in town. My work schedule is such that I only have time in the first half of the week or at nights after 8:00 so I doubt if I will have the opportunity to meet him. If I am

Re: [PLUG] WDusb 2.0 drive

Try plugging it in and giving it a minute to try to mount. Then run a fdisk -l to list all the devices. I doubt if it will find it, as it is most likely a flaky USB to SATA adapter inside the drive. I would recommend taking it back and exchanging it, if it is still within the return period. Jas

Re: [PLUG] Want to borrow chording keyboard

You may want to look into a small keyboard and arrange the keys for one handed Dvorák layout. That should be quicker to learn and easier to find. Jason On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 5:30 PM, Keith Lofstrom wrote: > A friend is in the hospital with pneumonia - tubes down the throat > and all. His bi
