Re: Automatic fsck

Although this might start a small side-track of the main subject, I would like to add that it would be cool if the new solution could also incorporate checking of usb mass storage devices. Portable hard disks are becoming more popular, formatting them with ext is becoming more popular, but there do

Something else that I haven't seen brought up yet is a migration path to empathy. I've seen indications that it uses a purple backend (above), so will all pidgin settings just translate over? It that above indication was incorrect, is there a tool for doing the migration? If not, I would expect

Re: Intuitive "Popup" Scrollbars

I like it. If I understand it correctly, instead of having to find the actual bar, you can left-click anywhere on the scrollbar area, and move the scrollbar up and down as if you actually clicking on the scrollbar. I couldn't actually figure out how to install it though.. if you put it in the next

Why not move this process to shutdown time instead of boot time? The user could walk away and let the computer finish checking the file systems then shut down. If an error is detected, then the check would be repeated at the next boot up. Bryce Harrington wrote: > On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 11:52:

Empathy looks great from what I've seen and read. But: * it seems to have no protocol backends by default when I open 'Edit > Accounts' * it doesn't look like it can import all the settings I already have configures for Pidgin. ... so it's a bit of work to get started with testing. Maybe later.

I gave this a try, and I love it. The normal functionality of clicking on the scrolling thing and moving it is preserved, along with using the scrollwheel in the scrollbar, so no usability is lost. I see this as a really big hit with touchscreen devices also. Being able to place the finger anywher
